$106 million set for new high school Education Minister Mike Bernier:‘... this is a long time coming’ By Cayley Dobie

For the second time in two decades, the provincial government has approved funding for a New Westminster Secondary School replacement project. Politicians, district staff, parents and students descended on the high school Tuesday to hear

the education minister announce that funding had finally been approved for New Westminster’s long-awaited new high school. “I’m really excited we’ve been able to find a path through this. I think, as a lot of people in the area know, parents that are here today, people from New Westminster, this is a long time coming, but it’s not a project we

wanted to rush into,” Education Minister Mike Bernier told the crowd. The announcement comes one year after the New Westminster school district submitted its project definition report to the Ministry of Education.The district had expected a funding approval last fall, but the fall soon passed without word from the province.

Bernier toured the high school in December, at which time he told the Record an announcement could be expected in early 2016. That time too came and went without any news. Now that the project is approved, however, some parents are expressing caution rather than excitement. Danielle Connelly, whose two sons are in grades 4 and 6, told the Record she was pleased the province had finally given the proj-

ect a green light. “It’s hard not to be excited, but we have been down this road before so there’s a tinge of cautious optimism,” she said. Connelly organized a rally in April calling on the provincial government to approve funding for the project.Tuesday’s announcement is good news, she said, but it’ll take more than an announcement before she believes there will Continued on page 3

Up Front WHAT THEY SAID

City abuzz over news

OH, HAPPY DAY: From

left, trustee Casey Cook, Education Minister Mike Bernier, trustees Kelly Slade-Kerr and Mark Gifford (behind), New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy and school board chair Jonina Campbell posed for photos with students following Tuesday’s announcement that funding had been approved for a new high school to replace the existing New Westminster Secondary.

What are people saying about the high school announcement? Jonina Campbell, chair, NewWestminster school board: “The replacement of New Westminster Secondary School is the final major piece in the current capital plan projected for the New Westminster school district.This wonderful and long-awaited announcement will mean that our children will be able to look forward to attending a state of the art school that will assist all students in pursuing their passions in a modern learning environment.” Kelly Slade-Kerr, vice chair, NewWestminster school board: “The students of New Westminster deserve this new secondary school in order to thrive and engage in deep and purposeful learning.The school will not only be a great place to learn for our students but also a wonderful asset for the entire community of New Westminster.” NewWestminster Mayor Jonathan Cote: “This is really great news for the City of New Westminster and something that’s been a longtime coming. It’s long overdue, the replacement of the New Westmin-

ster Secondary School, and it’s a big relief to finally get the funding announcement in place from the provincial government. … There’s young families all across New Westminster who’ve been really nervous about the high school and whether it was going to happen in time, and I think this was a huge

step forward for us here. … There’s going to be a lot of work over the next year, before construction starts. I know the City of New Westminster is going to be actively looking at taking on the Massey Theatre and contributing to the restoration of that project, as part of the high school project. So now that

we’ve got that we’ve got the announcement, we feel we’ve got the green light to go ahead and start that process. I think that’ll be another exciting thing, and the beauty of this project is, not only are we getting a brand Continued on page 5

Not everyone pleased with announcement By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A group opposing the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project is calling for the resignation of Education Minister Mike Bernier in light of the project’s funding approval this week. Canadians for Reconciliation Society, a Vancouver-based Chinese Christian society that works to promote reconciliation with Canada’s indigenous peoples and to raise awareness of the histories of minority communities in B.C., released a statement Tuesday afternoon asking Bernier to step down.

In the statement, Bill Chu, CEO of the society, criticized Bernier “for setting the wrong example to the next generation in funding the desecration of a un-decommissioned (sic) cemetery.” “As the announcement is no more than another pre-election goody which played New Westminster parents (who deserve to have a new secondary school at a proper site) against the many stakeholder groups of the cemetery site, British Columbians should remember this government’s travesty in democracy in the upcoming provincial election,” the statement read. From 1860 to 1920, the New Westminster Secondary School

site was the final resting place for the poor, prisoners, stillborn babies and mentally ill patients from Woodlands and Essondale (later Riverview).The land was also used by Chinese, Sikh and First Nations communities to bury their dead. Eight years ago, it was revealed that Tsilhqot’in Chief Ahan might have been buried at the Douglas Road Cemetery after he was executed in 1865 in New Westminster.This was later disproven in a study that showed the chief was actually more likely to have been buried at a site near the old courthouse. The cemetery site, which was never properly decommissioned

by the City of New Westminster before the land was sold to the school district, is believed to cover about 14 acres, extending south from 10th Avenue to Dublin Street along Eighth Street. According to research done as part of the New Westminster Secondary School capital project report, the majority of the cemetery lies below the Pearson wing of the school, including the two acres of land used by the Chinese community as a cemetery. Chu and his organization are concerned the new high school construction will “desecrate” the burial ground, but Bernier is adamant the replacement school will not be built on any of the ceme-

tery land and will, instead, honour the people whose remains lie under the existing school. “When we look at the school behind me, the school was built on the final resting place of some people. In 1949, a historical wrong was committed.Today’s announcement is not just about bricks and mortar, it’s not just about the students that we have in front of us that are going to have a great educational system to learn in, it’s also about correcting that wrong,” Bernier said. Construction of the new high school will be monitored by an archeologist to ensure proper

actually be a new high school in the near future. “We, as a group of parents, will be staying on this until the doors are open and construction is completed and the kids have a safe school to be going into,” she said. The $106.5 million New Westminster Secondary

School replacement project is the largest education investment in the province’s history and the most expensive capital project ever undertaken, according to Bernier.The new school will have space for 2,100 students from grades 9 to 12 and is expected to open in December 2019. But what the school will look like and where exact-

ly it will go on the site is still unknown, at least for the public. School board chair Jonina Campbell, said the district has some ideas. The current school sits on a cemetery that was used between 1860 and 1920 as a potter’s field where bodies of the poor, prisoners, stillborn babies and mentally ill patients from Woodlands and Essondale (later

Riverview) were buried.The land was also used by Chinese, Sikh and First Nations communities to bury their dead. “There’s some work still to be done in understanding the site and the constraints of the site.We obviously know it can’t go on designated cemetery, but we also have some heritage conservation areas that we need to

better understand,” she said. “That said, obviously there’s a chunk of land out behind, near Mercer track.” Campbell wouldn’t go into detail about what the plan is, adding that it would be premature to say anything about the plan before the design-build process gets started and the project is put out for tender. She would say that be-

cause the existing school is really two schools joined together (Vincent Massey Junior High School, opened in 1949, and Lester Pearson High School, opened in 1954), the new school will occupy a smaller footprint than its predecessor. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY June 9, 2016 5

City Beattie, Lalji on new NWSS What do the two school trustee candidates have to say about Tuesday’s high school announcement?

Moving forward: Qayqayt First Nation Chief Rhonda Larrabee gives a blessing before Tuesday’s funding announcement for the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project.

Dee Beattie: “I’m excited that (the high school) announcement happened. I think the board has done a great job, and I am looking forward to being elected and

No other site is possible To find another site in the city would be too difficult, he said, adding that because of the size of the City of New Westminster, the land needed for such a high school just isn’t available. But not all stakeholders are upset with the announcement. HilbertYiu, president of the Chinese Benevolent Association of Vancouver, was optimistic the project will engage all groups as it progresses.

“This parcel of land has a very rich and complex history.We are encouraged to learn that the new school building will not be built over any former burial sites. We also welcome plans for broad community consultations and look forward to contributing to that process,”Yiu said in a press release. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

I believe much of the student body agrees with me, when I say that as much as we are envious of the next generation for having this new upgrade that we don’t have, it’s such an eye-opener for us to see something those in the future may enjoy so much more, whether it being our siblings or maybe even our own children.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

It’s true. Although skepticism persists It’s good news. Period. And we offer a simple and sincere thank you to Education Minister Mike Bernier for closing the deal. The government has committed over $100 million to a new high school in New Westminster. According to the Ministry of Education it’s the most expensive school project to date. And while it may not have all the bells and whistles promised in previous plans, it will be mighty welcome

to future students and educators. Frankly, we had started to believe that only an earthquake would have triggered the project. And, now, hopefully, we can rest easy knowing that a new school is on its way. Now, not everybody believes that it will actually happen. It has been announced before and then put on the back burner.The detours this project has taken in the last 15 years have

made us dizzy. And it has frustrated New Westminster citizens to the point of outrage and anger. One citizen suggested the process has been so traumatic that it was hard for her to be truly jubilant. So, it’s understandable that there would be skepticism in the city over this latest announcement. Some have suggested that this is just an election ploy for the Liberals and if they lose to the NDP the proj-

ect would be deep-sixed. But that’s not logical. If the NDP did oust the Liberals in the next election, does anybody honestly believe that the NDP would risk the public’s wrath by stalling or killing the project? We don’t think so. And concerns that protests about the old cemetery on the project will derail it seem minimized given the education minister’s committment to proceed and build a memorial on

the site. Now, if during construction “surprise” remains are uncovered in areas that were not marked as potential burial sites, we suspect it will slow down the project. Few massive construction projects ever meet their opening deadlines, so we wouldn’t be surprised if the opening target date of December 2019 is missed. But, as the local paper that has been covering this issue for as long as we’ve been

publishing, the Record is going to continue to be on this story like a pitbull on a pork chop. We believe we’re on the right road now, but we’ve hit speedbumps and dead ends before, so we’re prepared for whatever we encounter in what we hope is the final leg of the journey. COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

Life is good at 35 in New West The ’80s were good to some newspapers – not so good to others. It was a time when newspaper chains were taking over independents and family-run papers couldn’t rely on traditional connections to keep their businesses going.Those two conditions created a perfect storm for the Record’s birth. The Record’s first edition was published Oct. 1, 1981. It was a dream come true for a local sports journalist who loved newspapers. He believed that New Westminster deserved a newspaper solely dedicated to the Royal City and made it his mission to build one. Ron Loftus gathered a small group of friends and family together (including future mayor Helen Sparkes) – several contributing $1,000 – to start the newspaper. It was put together on Loftus’s kitchen table. It wasn’t a big money maker, but it developed a loyal audience who valued local community journalism. And when The Columbian – the former daily that covered New Westminster – went out of business in 1983, The Royal City Record received a muchneeded shot in the arm. It was soon bought by this company’s predecessor, and folded into the NewWestminster NOW. The Record/NOW soon dropped the NOW moniker and revisited its roots. Flash forward 35 years

and the Record is now the only paper in town. A digital revolution squeezed newspaper revenues during the last decade and the Record’s competitor, the NewsLeader, lost its battle to survive. Perhaps close calls with death make us all the more appreciative of what we have, so as the Record celebrates its 35th birthday, we feel incredibly grateful to our readers, our advertisers, our contributors and our community for their ongoing support. It’s a truism – but we really can’t do it without you. A community newspaper is a fascinating mix: a community booster, a friend who tells you what others won’t, a gossipy neighbour, a democratic critic. It’s always, however, a community partner. As New Westminster goes, so goes the Record. The next years will not be without challenges. Each turn will require us to improve ourselves in a constant effort to retain and expand our community support and goodwill. We pledge to you to make our greatest effort, and, as always, we appreciate your praise, your criticism and your commitment to having a newspaper dedicated to New Westminster. And, of course, please join us in celebrating our 35th birthday! Pat Tracy is the editor of the Record.

Don’t just shrug and ignore this byelection

Queen’s Park Meat Market closing doors

Dear Editor Re: “This byelection is an important one, Our View, the Record, June 2. I agree with most of your excellent editorial but hedge on one vital point. In Paul Sweezy’s words: “Most people take (democracy) for granted, just as we take the sun for granted. It has always been with us since time immemorial; it always will be with us when our grandchildren are old.” But 20th-century history suggests otherwise, with the emergence of radical opportunism leading to totalitarianism. A study of history of Central Europe, Russia and East Asia shows how fragile democracy can be. It’s true, we can lament “what a one-party government … has done to transparency and citizen involvement. But we suspect the majority of voters will simply shrug (it off) and see it as politics as usual. And they could very well be correct.” No! Such an attitude is It is a vitally particularly important bad, similar to one byelection student I knew who thought failing a grade “is really nothing. Life will go on as usual with the same courses and new friends” or another student who convinced himself he was “helpless! Absolutely helpless! I can do nothing. I’ve no power to make any difference!” What if a thousand voters had these same attitudes? Voting is of vital importance. “In choosing for oneself, one chooses for everyone,” wrote Jean-Paul Sartre, who also said, “Bad faith is something we’d all be better off without.” It’s true that provincial party politics is seen as arbitrarily or inappropriately (in the opinions of many) being played out on local school boards, and rightly “folks are leery about” this, including allegedly inappropriate involvement** by federal politicians. What do the feds think this is? New Westminster needs balance and diversity. Labour Council is extremely heavily represented in Burnaby-New West. They have enough! I don’t believe that certain members have papal infallibility. Many other constituents DO need to be represented as well. Terry Hilmar, New Westminster

More posies, not less Dear Editor: I recently read in the Record about the person who was being forced to get rid of the lovely garden they have at Charter House, an apartment block in uptown New Westminster. I drove past that building today and I think the management company and the strata is doing a disservice to the community. The plants are beautiful and well kept and they add some colour and life to an otherwise boring looking building. Let’s add more flowers and plants, not less! Joan Arnold, New Westminster

Can’t it be trimmed or at least some jobs combined? Graham Williams CEO of the company who sell you gas? Tens of Millions of dollars. CFO of the company who makes the mobile phone you use every day? Tens of millions of dollars. Staff who run the infrastructure of the place you call home, managing roads, water works, public services, and making the city a better place? Well, if they’re making more than minimum wage, they’re overpaid? You commenters are a joke. Our civil servants are well compensated, but nowhere near as well compensated as they would be with similar jobs in the private sector. We pay taxes because that’s part of the social contract, and these people take a PAY CUT to work for us.

Bosa buys prime New West waterfront site Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Bosa Development is the new owner of a prime piece of local real estate. Larco Investments, the longtime owner of the property located on the waterfront at 660 Quayside Dr., recently sold the site to Bosa Development.The site is located between Westminster Pier Park and Fraser River Discovery Centre. “I actually think it’s exciting news for the city,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “The Larco parking lot has started to fall into disrepair. I think the long-term vision to have some residential development and expand Westminster Pier Park on that site is a city objective.” In 2013, the city initiated a new master plan for the site that included three highrises (ranging from 25 to 45 storeys in height), a new 0.8-hectare (two-acre) park, an extended waterfront esplanade, more open spaces with view of the Fraser River, a 150-room hotel and space for a daycare. Prior to rezoning the site in 2014, Larco was permitted to build five highrises. “I think the sale of the property to Bosa is probably to a development company that is more likely to move ahead with the project, compared to Larco,” Cote said. “Larco, traditionally, will be landholders and hold properties for long periods of time, and they

have done that with this site. Bosa more consistently, when they buy a site they generally do have intentions to move forward with the project.” The Record could not reach Bosa representatives before deadline for comment about their plans for the site.

I actually think it’s exciting news for the city Because the sale only recently took place, Cote said the city and Bosa have only had preliminary discussions about the site. “We are looking for the objectives that were achieved through the downzoning that occurred a few years ago, in terms of having the parking underground – to us that’s critically important, the expansion of the park space and a number of the amenities there,” he said. “We have been upfront from the beginning that those components of the new plan are absolutely essential. I know Bosa is going to be having a look at the project to see how they can fit it and make it work. I actually think it’s going to be an exciting project that is going to be an important piece of the puzzle for our waterfront vision but also for downtown revitalization.”

Cote said the vision for the site that was part of the 2014 rezoning is still important to the city. “Definitely from the city’s objective, reducing the number of towers, because this was once zoned for five towers, the city always saw that as a positive. I certainly wouldn’t see us moving in the other direction,” he said. “I think the vision is still something the city wants to achieve. I think to make the project a reality we will obviously have some conversations about what their architects and their development team would like to see to have that project move forward.” Because Bosa wasn’t involved in the rezoning process, Cote anticipates the company will look at the master plan’s details and want to have a conversation about the site.

News SCHOOL DISTRICT

Layoff notices draw criticism

Union criticizes school district decision to eliminate day custodian shifts Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

CUPE Local 409 is criticizing the New Westminster school district for its decision to eliminate day custodian positions in favour of afternoon shifts. Nine school custodians received layoff notices last week; all were classified as day custodians. From 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., they currently clean messes when needed, restock bathrooms and conduct dayto-day maintenance.They are responsible for opening schools every morning. But come September, New Westminster will no longer have custodians in its schools before 3 p.m., and the remaining nine day workers will move to afternoon shifts. “There’s no forethought on how this is going to work, and there never is because the decisions are

made at the board-office level, which is where they have a whole bunch of bean counters sitting in a room figuring that a mathematical formula is going to work and address the needs of the students and the staff,” said Marcel Marsolais, president of CUPE Local 409, which represents the district’s support staff, including clerical workers, education assistants and custodians. Marsolais, along with a group of CUPE Local 409 workers descended on last Tuesday’s school board meeting.The crowd of about 40 was there to pressure trustees in hopes the district would reconsider getting rid of the daytime custodians. “We’re the second largest employee group in the district, but we’re shrinking all the time,” Marsolais later told the Record. Marsolais said he’s frustrated because while the dis-

trict continues to cut back on CUPE staff positions, it’s hiring additional administrative staff and managers. The 2016/17 preliminary budget includes several new positions including a communications officer and a buyer for the district.

Some people say it’s cuts, but it’s not cuts

“We have more people working at the board office than ever before.We’ve got two extra exempt people working in human resources; we’ve got an extra manager for the maintenance facilities department; they just created that a few months back,” Marsolais said. But superintendent Pat Duncan was adamant no

custodians were losing their jobs; in fact, the district is adding one full-time position when Fraser River Middle School opens in the fall. He added the layoff notices were a formality that’s required of the local’s collective agreement anytime someone’s position is changed. “We have to be very careful on the language we use, because some people say it’s cuts, but it’s not cuts,” Duncan said. The changes to the custodian shifts, he added, are changes that other districts across the province have already adopted and are not a cost-saving measure. “There will still be a daytime custodian at New Westminster high school,” he said. It’ll be up to the principal or vice-principal to open the schools each day, he added.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Heritage Revitalization Agreement application has been submitted for 1031 Sixth Avenue (outlined in bold on the adjacent map) that would see the heritage house relocated to the rear of the property and a new house constructed at the front of the property which would not be subdivided. In addition, a Heritage Designation Bylaw would be placed on title. WHAT IS THIS HRA APPLICATION ABOUT? The Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) would allow for two houses to be located on one lot, and for a combined floor space ratio of 0.80. The HRA would also provide variations to the Zoning Bylaw for the front and rear yards, the front porch eave, the front and rear porches, the site coverage, and the off-street parking configuration (tandem). In exchange, the HRA would require the majority of exterior restoration be carried out on the heritage house prior to work on the new house commencing. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity. ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Division at City Hall 10 business days prior to the Public Hearing, June 6, 2016 to June 20, 2016. City Hall hours are Monday between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm, Tuesday through Friday between 8:00am and 5:00pm (except statutory holidays). HOW CAN I BE HEARD? The public is welcome to attend the Public Hearing on June 20, 2016 at 6:00pm, or send a written submission addressed to Mayor and Council prior to the closing of the Public Hearing.

Provincial Home Owner Grant: Application for the Provincial Home Owner Grant may be made now, whether or not the current taxes are being paid at the same time. Please note that most ﬁnancial institutions are no longer processing Home Owner Grants and the Grant can either be claimed online at www.newwestcity.ca/ehog or at City Hall.

Plan for your future at Bucket List event Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Anvil Centre plays host to the Bucket List Festival on June 11, which encourages people who are facing a lifelimiting illness or advanced age to plan for their future. The full-day event will feature a variety of presentations from medical professionals, financial advisors, lawyers and more. Coquitlam’s Sharie Ford will be sharing her story of what it was like to live out her bucket list with her husband John after he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 1996. He was given a five per cent chance of survival for two years.

What you do is capitalize on every single day He beat the odds and lived another 19 years until he passed away in 2015. “The diagnosis caught us totally off guard,” she told the Record, adding at the time, her sons were 14 and 16 years old and the family had been on a trip to London, visiting John’s side of the family. “We made it home and he was hospitalized the night we arrived, at 10:30 p.m. on June 13.The trauma of that still at times upsets me,” Ford explained through tears, “because anybody who sees that kind of terminal diagnosis, it’s more than a roller coaster.Your whole life just gets turned upside down.” The Fords came across the bucket list concept after joining the Crossroads

Hospice Society as volunteers.They attended a similar event to the one happening in New West in North Vancouver in 2013. “Our lives actually changed because we started living more intentionally. It changed to a mindset where we consciously started opening up ourselves to more risks than we had to prior,” the mother-of-two said. That included travelling more, including a 75-day cruise around the Pacific, despite being advised not to. The family also held a living wake for John in October 2014. “John said, ‘That’s pretty cool. I’d like to hear what people say about me,’” recalled Ford. “It was tonguein-cheek. … Our son said, ‘Dad, if we’re going to go through something like this, we want you there. As a family, we sat around and said, ‘You know what, we need to celebrate life.’” Other aspects of their bucket list included having John write his own obituary (he was a regular columnist to the Tri-City News). Since 2009, it remained in a sealed envelope at the bottom of a basket by the computer. “He had asked me that I would never change a word. (It) gave him peace of mind … because he got to say what he wanted to say,” said his wife. Ford hopes people get inspired by her story and create their own list and embrace death as a fact of life. “You become peaceful with that knowledge and what you do is capitalize on every single day that you have,” she said.

Embrace life: Sharie Ford’s husband John was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 1996. With a very small chance of survival, John beat the odds and lived for another 19 years before he passed away in 2015. Sharie will be sharing their story at the Bucket List Festival that’s coming to the Anvil Centre this Saturday. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

The City of New Westminster is getting set to unveil BridgeNet. Residents and businesses are invited to attend the city’s launch of Bridge Net on June 21, a cityowned open-access fibre optic network that’s currently being installed. “The benefits of dark fibre are wide-ranging, affecting a broad spectrum of industries and improving connectivity for residents and businesses in a multitude of ways,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “Affordable access to broadband fibre provides a fertile field for connectivity, innovation and economic growth.” The city is launching BridgeNet on Tuesday, June 21 at 5 p.m. at Anvil Centre. Several internet service providers will attend the launch to discuss their services and offerings and industry professionals will discuss how

the community will benefit from access to gigabit internet. On Monday, city council authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign internet service provider (ISP) agreements on behalf of council. “The fibre network, which we are hoping to launch in the fall of this year and actually go live, is an open access network in that multiple companies can lease from the city and then sell directly,” Cote said. “Currently there are four ISPs that are very interested in leasing our fibre and then they would do the work to sell directly to the customers.” The launch will provide community with more details about how the Bridge Net will be phased in in New West. “Certain parts of the city will light up over about five different phases,” Cote said. “The early stages are definitely going to be the high-

density neighbourhoods because the business case makes a lot more sense for the high-density areas and for businesses that are located in the downtown and uptown.Then it will be any building with 50 or more units, but there is a phasedin approach to deal with that.” To register for the BridgeNet launch, go to www. newwestcity.ca and go to the What’s New tab. “I think a lot of people in the city are actually unaware that this network is going to be going live and there is going to be more internet choice in New Westminster than there has been in the past,” Cote said. “Our main goal with all of this is really to be the city that has the fastest internet at the most competitive prices in the entire region.” The network, which will connect commercial centres through the city, is a pivotal piece of New Westminster’s Intelligent City initiative.

BridgeNet LAUNCH EVENT

The City of New Westminster invites local businesses and residents to join us to celebrate the debut of BridgeNet, the city-owned open access dark ﬁbre network. BridgeNet allows for very fast gigabit speed, an be operated by multiple internet service providers (ISPs), and is bringing choice to New West!

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY June 9, 2016 13

City Beat Queen’s Park Meat Market closes A nearly 100-year-old business in New Westminster has closed up shop. Peter Corbeil, owner of Queens Park Meat Market, shut his doors on June 4, marking 18 years since his predecessor Eric Davies handed him the keys. Corbeil told the Record he made the decision about a month ago and that he needed “a change of lifestyle.” Asked if he could expand on that, he said, “it’s kind of personal.” The father of two said once he ties up loose ends in a month’s time, he intends to travel east and find a permanent, new home. “I don’t know where. We’re going to check them all out,” he said of the provinces. “I could end up in Drumheller, I could end up in Saskatoon,Winnipeg, Dryden. My thought is East Coast, but who knows what happens along the way.” Corbeil added he couldn’t find a buyer for the busi-

ness.The 500-square-foot, off-white stucco building at 402 Second St. has operated in the Royal City since 1924. It is the last remnant of what that block used to look like. Corbeil took over the Queen’s Park business in 1998 after working for large supermarkets for 15 years. He was 21 years old when he first got into butchering. He had left the navy and started working for a master butcher in Burnaby. Queens Park Meat Market was known for its “oldfashioned” service – everything from hand selecting all the meat to be hung and aged by Corbeil himself, to cutting it to the customer’s liking. Orders were wrapped in butcher paper and tape, with payment coming either in the form of cash or a tab. Corbeil noted he’s placed a letter to customers in the shop window. “It’s all about the appreciation of the customers and how much I’ve enjoyed serving them,” he said.

“

I am passionate about supporting strong families with strong public schools. Please join me in standing up for students and kids. She’s a leader. Dee Beattie is a foster parent, parent and grandparent with 25 years’ work experience helping students and families with special needs.

”

She is a leader in her fieldwith practical ideas to improve services for all kids, so every student gets the education they need to fulfill their potential.

Mary Lalji Working Hard for You – Past, Present and Future. I have spent the past 13 years engaged in a variety of New Westminster community events, via the NWSS Hyack Football program, and developing resources for students to address very specific gaps in their level of engagement towards school. I have seen real change in students with these initiatives. Now it is time for me to take the passion I share for students to the next level, by getting directly involved with the school system itself. With two young children entering the school system in New Westminster, I want them and all other children to have access to the most comprehensive public education system in British Columbia.

If elected as a School Trustee in SD40, my priorities will be: n To provide complete transparency and accountability for the NWSS new school construction process. n To provide a school bus service for students in Queensborough to and from NWSS n To provide access to enhanced music programs for all elementary school students in New Westminster.

Kudos to NWSS enviro club Cayley Dobie CLASS ACT

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Let’s all take a moment to recognize how inspiring students at New Westminster Secondary School are. Since April, the NWSS Environment Club has been meeting with kids at Lord Kelvin Elementary School to teach them about food sustainability. The first lesson was on April 26, when the high school students dropped by the elementary school to help 72 Kelvin kids plant their own sustainable vegetable garden. On May 17, the Kelvin students were invited to the high school to take part in several workshops on topics such as gardening, locally grown foods and water sustainability, according to a press release from the club. On Wednesday, June 8, the students will gather once more, this time at Kelvin, to transfer the veggies

from the school garden into pots for the Kelvin kids to take home with them. Keep up the good work everyone!

GRANTS OPEN TO 2006 BABIES Children who were born in 2006 are now eligible to apply for a $1,200 grant from the provincial government.The B.C.Training and Education Savings grant was originally offered to kids born in 2007 or later, but last week the province announced children born in 2006 will also be able to apply for the grant as of Aug. 15, noted a press release. Parents of kids born in 2006 have until August 2019 to apply for the grant at any participating financial institute. In order to apply, parents and kids must be residents of B.C., and the child must have a Registered Education Savings Plan. For more information, in-

cluding a list of the participating financial institutes, visit tinyurl.com/savings grant.

MORE INSPIRING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS Another batch of New Westminster Secondary School students will also be making a trip to a local elementary school this week. Grade 11 and 12 carpentry students will be at Queen Elizabeth Elementary Wednesday,Thursday and Friday afternoon to guide a group of Grade 4 kids as they make musical instruments.The three-day pilot project was organized by Karen Crosby, the career programs coordinator at the high school, and her colleague Gary Pattern. Their intention is to offer a “maker-style” event, a hands-on, do-it-yourself movement that focuses on problem solving and design. The elementary students will go through a design and build process culminat-

ing on Friday, when, with the help of the carpentry students, they will actually build their instrument. (Check out next week’s Record for more on this event.)

CPA STUDENTS GRADUATE Four New Westminster residents were among 768 chartered professional accountant (CPA) students who crossed the floor at a convocation ceremony last month. CPA students Robin Ensom, Jonathan Gibson, Maja Ivkovic and Nicole Koehle were recognized at the event, held in Vancouver on May 21, and are now eligible to join the Chartered Professional Accountants of B.C. “To qualify as a CPA, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the national Common Final Examination, and fulfil relevant practical experience requirements,” noted a press release.

New West remembers local businessman Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal City lost a longtime businessman with the death of Frank Froebel. Froebel, the former manager of Paddlewheeler Riverboat Tours and a member of the Tourism New Westminster board of directors, died of a sudden heart attack on April 19. “Frank was full of life (and comments!) and always had a way of making us laugh, no matter what the occasion was,” said Tej Kainth, executive director of Tourism New West. “He was an invaluable contributor to Tourism New Westminster and will truly be missed by the many people who had the pleasure of knowing him.” A celebration of Froebel’s life was held June 5 on board his favourite boat, the MV Native.

RUGBY PLAYERS SHOW THEIR ARTISTIC SIDE Four former members of the Douglas Rugby Club are showing an artistic side. Dan Lefebvre, Dave Dando, Kevin Jordan and Gavin Sawle are joining forces for Exhibit-DDKG at the Sixth Street Popup and Gallery next weekend.The show features two painters (Sawle and Dando) and two sculptors (Evans works in metal and Lefebvre carves in wood). An opening reception takes place on Friday, June 17 from 6 to 11 p.m. at 42 Sixth St., but the exhibit runs all day Saturday, June 18 as well.

Community OUR PAST

Explore the lost creeks of New Westminster Archie and Dale Miller editorial@newwestrecord.ca

At the beginning of 2016 we told you about a project to research lost creeks and flowing underground water in NewWestminster. The project, under Mike McPhee of Douglas College, has progressed well, and in the near future a lot of the information will be available online and through other sources. An overview will be presented at the New Westminster Historical Society this month. One of the intriguing aspects of this research is the number of references that come up for which we cannot yet accurately identify a particular location. For instance, in the late 1870s the Penitentiary was drawing its water from a spring on the hillside.There were comments made that the asylum should possibly use the same source. It is possible that this

water was not connected to the Glen Creek but higher on the hill. A map of the B.C. Penitentiary site shows a spring up the hill near the corner of today’s Eighth Avenue at Cumberland. Could this be it?Was this spring known to First Nations of the area or the Royal Engineers whose camp was at the later Pen site?We do have stories of people drinking cold water from this site in the 1940s and 1950s. There were likely many small water sources to be found in the earlier half of this city’s existence. Up near the high school site, close to the 10th Avenue and Eighth Street corner, there was a spring in the ditch on the Burnaby side, and it flowed quite profusely at certain times of the year. A man remembered getting water from that spring in the early 1900s. He would take a bucket and collect water to take to his grandparents’ home nearby, and he re-

membered this as being cold and wonderfully clear. He also remembered filling an old canteen, and with that and a sandwich he would venture into the cemetery across 10th Avenue to have a picnic under the trees. There was another wellused spring on the edge of Sapperton near the bottom of Holmes Street on Craig Street.This water was used by people of the area, especially from 1910 to about 1950. Again we have stories of containers being filled and carried home. At the NewWestminster Historical Society meeting on June 15, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the NewWestminster Public Library on Sixth Avenue, a presentation will explore this project and many of the “water stories” that have been identified. Maybe you have another memory of such things to add? Another lost creek or underground water source?

VAGABOND PLAYERS PRESENTS

New West director at the helm of hair band musical

By Tim

Julie MacLellan jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Oh no, say it ain’t so. Say I’m not really old enough for all my high school memories to have been turned into a “totally rad musical tribute to the ’80s.” My (middle) age aside, however, anyone who wants to embrace that somewhat over-the-top decade really has to get their tickets to see the Arts Club Theatre’s production of Rock of Ages. Described as a “self-referential and occasionally meta-theatrical jukebox musical filled with classic rock and glam metal hits” – think Poison, Journey,Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi and their ilk – the show takes to the stage from June 16 to July 30 at the Granville Island Stage. And it’s New West’s own Peter Jorgensen in the director’s chair. “Rock of Ages is an unapologetically juvenile and recklessly sexy tribute to the metal/glam hair-rock culture of L.A. in the late ’80s,” Jorgensen said in a press release. “It has kick-ass songs that will titillate, thrill and fill anyone who remembers the era with overwhelming nostalgia.” The fun is all set against the backdrop of the love story of aspiring rocker Drew Boley (played by

See www.artsclub.com or call 604-687-1644. A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC And another one for fans of musical theatre – albeit of a rather different breed. New Westminster’s own Patrick Street Productions has announced its show for next year – and local audiences will be treated to Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. In past seasons, the company has offered up its productions in Vancouver venues, so the extra-good news

for local fans is that next year’s show will play at the Anvil Centre from May 11 to 21, 2017. It will star Katey Wright, New West resident and coartistic producer of Patrick Street Productions – and it will be directed by Peter Jorgensen (yes, the very same Jorgensen who’s taking the helm of the Arts Club’s Rock of Ages). If you’re excited about the chance to see amazing professional musical theatre right here at home, you can help out Patrick Street with their ongoing donationmatching campaign – up until June 30, every dollar donated will be matched by two benefactors to a maximum of $5,000. Check out www.patrick streetproductions.com.

Belmont Dental Centre has been operating in New Westminster for 50 years, no easy feat in any field, and with a dedicated team its reputation continues to grow. The reason for its success come down to the basics: consistently ensuring that patient care and comfort is top priority. Belmont, located in the heart of the city, provides gentle familyoriented dental care with a team of dentists and hygienists led by owner Dr. Gursharan Dhaliwal. Combining state of the art equipment, a diverse range of services and treatments, and a personal and friendly atmosphere, Belmont has continued to draw

new patients along with its longtime patients, many of whom have been coming there for decades. Dr. Dhaliwal practised alongside Dr. Astley Smith, the original owner of Belmont, and in 2010 became its proprietor. His associates in the practice are Dr. Lori Musacchio, Dr. Christine Park and Dr. Gine Lee, who work with a “family” of dental hygienists, assistants and administrative staff. “That’s the key: quality care,” he said. “That includes making sure they are comfortable, that they understand the procedures, that we discuss the treatment options.” It also extends to practical matters: the centre is open seven days a week,

with extended evening hours one night a week for those who prefer late appointments. Many patients tell them their location is also a great benefit. “Being in the Royal City Centre Mall is great. It’s a location that just works really well,” he said. “There’s ample parking, people can do some shopping while they’re waiting if they’ve brought their kids in for an appointment. And the mall is really at the centre of New Westminster, it’s convenient for people coming from all over.” They also offer emergency care and have done home visits for patients who needed it.

Bellies build on big win NewWest blocks out Burnaby for second victory Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Salmonbellies have gotten their groove back – and just in time, too. The senior A lacrosse club netted its second straight win of the Western Lacrosse Association season on Tuesday, edging the Burnaby Lakers 7-6, thanks to the heroics of a veteran and the scoring skills of a rookie. Goalie Eric Penney faced a barrage of shots as Burnaby held a 59-to-37 advantage, but could only bury six behind him in a game where NewWest never trailed. Freshman Dane Sorensen provided plenty of offensive spark, counting three goals and an assist while working in tandem with Logan Schuss. It came on the heels of last Thursday’s 14-6 upset of the defending Mann Cup champion Victoria Shamrocks in the Bellies first victory of the year, after starting the season 0-3. “This game was very big for the team,” said Sorensen of beating Burnaby. “It was a lowscoring game but it was a battle (where) we had to push back.” The Bellies’ biggest lead came early, when they jumped ahead 3-1 midway through the first. But the Lakers, at 2-2 on the year, applied plenty of pressure and shots. The two teams traded goals most of the night, but Sorensen delivered a big blow with two seconds remaining in the second period, cashing in his eighth of the season with an extra attacker on the floor. “It was a good pass by (Logan Schuss).The six-on-five (situation) never works but we put it together. It was good timing,” Sorensen said. In the third,Tyler Kirkby gave New West a two-goal lead midway into the period, but the Lakers’ Scott Jones capitalized on the powerplay to make it 7-6 with 5:48 remaining. That’s where it would stay, thanks to Penney. “(Penney) played well tonight.We got a lot of shots – what did we outshoot them by, 20, 30?” asked Burnaby’s Robert Church. “ We didn’t get our share of goals on offence, but it is what it is.” Continued on page 40

Girls lead the way for Hyacks at BCs

NewWestminster’s Schultz adds two personal bests en route to Most Inspirational award

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

For one, it was a fitting finish. For another, a sign of great things to come. New Westminster Secondary’s girls track and field team sparkled in the mid-Island sun last weekend, bringing home seven medals – including five gold. Graduating with a scholarship to Kansas State in her pocket, Nina Schultz continued where she left off by collecting three first-place finishes, a week after she locked up the hefty heptathlon title. On the junior girls side, Grace Fetherstonhaugh firmly secured gold in a pair of events. Schultz collected the senior girls 100-metre hurdles, besting Brooks Secondary’s Callie-Ann Abbott with a time of 13.67 seconds. It was a new personal best for the New West native, who broke her week-old benchmark of 13.98. She established a new personal gold standard in the long jump, reaching 5.93m, stretching her prior top leap of 5.72, set in March. Her jump was 0.41 longer than her nearest rival. In the high jump, Schultz posted a strong 1.70m clearance, edging ahead of G.P.Vanier’s Kyla Gytenbeek’s 1.65m jump. They were the only medals col-

lected in either senior division by a Hyack athlete, and enough to secure New West second place overall in the senior girls team total. It also resulted in Schultz being awarded the Most Inspirational Athlete prize.The Hyacks edged past Cowichan and Maple Ridge, who were tied for third place, just two points back. Fetherstonhaugh was a resounding winner in both her junior girls events, setting personal bests along the way.The Grade 10 teen topped the 1500m steeplechase in a time of 5:02.08, with nearly 15 seconds on her nearest rival. Fetherstonhaugh added the 3000m title, an event she placed

fourth in last year. “I feel both wins were special, but the steeplechase was different because its something that’s still rather new to me, so I was proud to win it,” she said. She only debuted in the event this season, and the provincials was just the third meet she raced it. For the 3000m race, Fetherstonhaugh saw a tough field and mapped out a race where she expected to pace and tuck herself behind who she saw as the favourite. Instead, she took top spot from Sentinel’s Rhian Paterson, who followed closely but couldn’t catch the New West distance runner. “I was nervous a bit before the

race because she had the faster time goin in,” recalled Fetherstonhaugh. “I was really happy with my result.” She skimmed two seconds off her previous best, finishing in 10:05.90. Also claiming medals for the Hyacks was fellow juniors Brianna Bates, who scored silver with a javelin throw of 38.54m, Sarah Forgie, who hit 1.60m in her high jump for a bronze, and Finley Cookson, who collected silver in junior boys pole vault with a jump of 3.10m. Coming in fourth was teammate Maxwell Jones, who also hit 3.10m. For more results, go to www. newwestrecord.ca.

Glenbrook athlete makes senior debut

Chloe Homenuke became the first Glenbrook Middle school athlete to compete in the senior division at the B.C. High School track and field championships last weekend. The Grade 8 racewalker emerged at the competition in 16th place, setting the stage for major gains over the next handful of years. “Chloe finishing 16th in senior race walk is amazing for a Grade 8,” remarked Glenbrook coach David Blatherwick. “She was really worried going in that she would finish last but when I saw her out there passing girls lap after lap I knew she was going to be okay.” The Glenbrook track team was well represented in the Grade 8 division, with Lauryn Savela placing sixth in javelin and Megan Lauener finishing seventh in 100-metre dash, with a time of 13.19 seconds to break

Raquel Tjernagel’s school record. “I think the most significant performance was Megan in the 100m. She is a soccer player so she doesn’t train for track and field,” noted Blatherwick. “For her to do a PB, break a record held by (Tjernagel, who is a freshman at the University of Texas) who has developed into a world class athlete and finish seventh in the province, is amazing.” The foursome of Ella Fetherstonhaugh, Emma Gruger, Alia Homenuke and Lauener placed 12th in the 4x400m relay. For the boys, Diego Mejia finished eighth in the long jump with a leap of 4.84m, then teamed with Cameron Attwall, Marlo Cabilin and VandaoYogyog to place 14th in 4x400m relay and 15th in 4x100m relay.Yogyog came in 11th in the triple jump.

Bissett closer to Rio

NewWest player named to pre-Games team New Westminster’s Brenden Bissett was named to Canada’s men’s national field hockey team pre-Olympic tour, which will go towards choosing the 18 athletes who will go to the 2016 Rio Olympics. A forward with 49 caps to his record, 23-year-old Bissett headed to Europe for the tour that began June 6 and runs until June 21, with the squad playing matches against Olympicbound Ireland and Spain. The Canadians will play Ireland four times, twice in Belfast and twice in Dublin, before moving on to face Spain three times in Madrid.

It’s the same roster that competed for Canada at the 2016 Azlan Shah Cup tournament in Malaysia, where they finished sixth. The lineup also includes Burnaby’s Gabriel Ho-Garcia, a forward with 76 caps. The European tour presents the final preparation phase for Canada before the roster is whittled down to 16 athletes and two reserves for Rio. Once the roster has been finalized, the Canadian team will host the U.S. for a summer send-off series, a threegame test to be played in Surrey and West Vancouver, July 7, 9 and 10.

Returnees make impact

Continued from page 39 Church, who won a National Lacrosse League title on the weekend as a member of the Saskatchewan Rush, counted a goal and two assists for Burnaby in his first game of the season. Also making their 2016 Lakers debut was No. 1 overall draft pick and New West junior grad Josh Byrne, who chipped in a goal and two assists, and Ilija Gajic. New West’s win over Victoria saw Schuss kick off the season with three goals, while Ben Davies and Chris Na-

sato tallied two apiece. For Sorensen, the 0-3 start is in the rearview mirror, with nearly all the players, like fellow 2016 draft pick Michael Messenger, in uniform. “I think as we build and get together we’re getting better. I think a lot of the players have played together before so its just a matter of getting familiar again.” New West’s next test puts them up against undefeated Maple Ridge tonight (Thursday), 7:45 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena.

Quick turn: New Westminster’s Tracey Pearson and her Mazda Miata will take to the Mission Raceway this weekend to raise money for the Mission Hospice. For more info, go to www.sccbc.net. PHOTO BRENT MARTIN

Cardinals rule at Morneau tourney

There is no place like home. The New Westminster Cardinals got another example of just why last month, when they made the most of home diamond advantage to cart off the title at the Justin Morneau Major B baseball tournament at Moody Park. The Cardinals rolled through the round-robin portion with an unblemished 2-0 record, besting the New West Royals 19-12 and Langley 14-5. In the cross-over semifinal, the Cards topped

another Langley squad, this time by a tight 7-6 margin. The championship final was an all-New Westminster affair between the Royals and Cardinals – a match-up that harkened back to the 1985 World Series. This time, the Cards came out on top, thanks to a strong 5-0 lead after three innings.While the Royals pushed back, the Cardinals held on and won the final 11-5.
