In the middle: New school gets high marks

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The city’s newest school opened this week to an excited group of students and staff.

Classes got underway Wednesday at Fraser River Middle School, the second of three new schools for New Westminster.With the opening of the Grade 6 to 8 school, the district completes its middle school initiative. Now students from all areas of the city will move from elementary school to middle school before heading to high school.

On Friday, staff invited students and their parents to the new school to check it out for themselves in advance of classes starting this week. Mingling among the visitors was Fraser River Middle School principal Debbie Jones.

Jones, like many of the parents, was blown away by the new building.

“It’s absolutely fantastic, I mean look at it. It’s so bright. And the energy, you can feel the energy from the kids as you’re walking around, and all the parents are super happy. Everybody is just super excited,” Jones told the Record.

An anticipated 460 students are expected to attend the new school during its inaugural year. While that

College goes gender neutral in washrooms

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Douglas College is joining institutions across North America in creating barrierfree spaces for members of the LGBTQ community.

On the insistence of two former students and a current instructor, Douglas College spent the summer converting its single-stall washrooms to gender-neutral washrooms that are accessible to everyone in hopes of creating more inclusive spaces for students, staff and faculty.

The idea was born in an anthropology of gender and sexuality class taught by JaimeYard.Yard had her students conduct an audit of the local campus to determine how accessible, safe and inclusive the campus community is. She used a survey she found online as a template to guide the class.

It covered everything from barrier-free washrooms to whether or not the school

had official policies regarding equality, she said “So what I had the class do was sort of work from this online template I found, revise the questions together so that they fit for our campus context and then they had about two weeks to go out and answer all the questions,”Yard told the Record.

Over the two weeks, students roamed Douglas College to determine how accessible it was for all students, all the while keeping Yard’s challenge in mind to “think about the campus in a different way.”

“One of the most basic equity issues is on the level of having people’s biological needs met, and students overwhelmingly noted the washroom facilities and the change-room facilities were adequate,”Yard said.

Former Douglas College student union Pride liaison Milo Leraar and former student Brett Collins were invited to joinYard in devel-

administrators to convert single-stall washrooms at both New Westminster and Coquitlam campuses to gender-neutral washrooms, which are inclusive to everyone. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

oping a research project that was eventually presented to college administrators.

“By the time the official audit got rolling, Brett Collins had been working as the research student assistant,” Leraar said. “So the scope of my role was really in laying theoretical foundations and, I’m a transgender person, so speaking from a trans-community perspec-

tive in regards to starting the project as well as leading a queer-competency training class for faculty and staff.”

From there, Collins took over asYard’s research assistant and together the pair petitioned the Douglas College admin to change all single-stall washrooms to gender-neutral washrooms.

The administration was very supportive, Collins

Pile driving: ‘It’s just like a pounding headache’

By Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Residents and businesses living and operating at the Quay say pile driving for the RiverSky project has become a problem.

David Lang and his wife, longtime residents of 1045 Quayside Dr., likened the noise to Chinese water torture.

“It’s very annoying. It’s just like a pounding headache,” he said. “The steady bang, bang. It gets to you after a while.We end up keeping our windows and doors closed most of the time because the noise is too much, so you don’t get the fresh air that you would normally get.”

Lang added the couple has, on a few occasions, been woken up by the racket.The city’s construction noise bylaw states “permitted hours” are anytime between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, with Sundays and

other holidays excluded.

“We’re retired, so we can get out of here at any time, go for a walk. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in our building who are elderly or who don’t have a vehicle,” noted Lang.

The owner of Angelina’s Restaurant, which directly faces the construction site, said business has definitely taken a hit. Eric Missouri told the Record that sales on Saturdays are about $500 less than they are on Sundays, the offday for pile driving.

“That’s the busy time,” he said in regards to the weekend, when people are out and about at the Quay. “I would have loved for (Bosa Properties) to give us a weekend break.”

Missouri added the pile driving has also “killed” his patio.

“Six days a week, we pretty much have no patio.We lost quite a bit of sales there. Most of the time, (people) will grab their plate and run back inside as soon as they start the pile driv-

ing,” he explained.

The restaurant owner said he understands it’s all part of the construction timeline, and Bosa can’t accommodate everybody. He said the company has been easy to talk to when issues are raised.

“You call them, they call you right back, and they come here and try to resolve whatever concern we have.

There’s only so much they can do,” said Missouri.

Andrew Wong, owner of Wild Rice at River Market, echoed Missouri’s sentiments.While the noise can’t be heard in his restaurant when the doors are closed, he said it is “noticeable.”

He said he has seen people move from the patio, but couldn’t 100 per cent attribute that to the pile driving, noting it could have been the hot weather.

“If you’re actually having a lunch Continued on page 10

said.

At the time, Douglas College was about to update the single-stall washroom signs, so it was decided now was as good a time as any to make the change to genderneutral facilities.

“As with any public institution there’s an expectation that one is going to be safe and that one is going to be able to get what

one is there for and one is there to learn and in order to do that comfortably you have to be able to go to the washroom,” Collins said. “If you’re a public institution, you’re expected to be accessible to the public not just a portion of the public, that’s a private club.”

City wants more help for tenants

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster will be taking on tenant evictions at the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria.

New Westminster will be putting forward the resolution for consideration at the convention, which takes place Sept. 26 to 30 in Victoria. Mayor Jonathan Cote and councillors Patrick Johnstone, Bill Harper, Jaimie McEvoy, Chuck Puchmayr and Lorrie Williams are scheduled to attend.

The tenant evictions through renovations resolution takes aim at landlords who evict tenants “under the guise of performing major renovations and then significantly increase the rent of those units.”The city is seeking support from the

UBCM to urge the provincial government to amend the Residential Tenancy Act to allow renters the right of first refusal to return to their units at a rent that’s no more than what the landlord could lawfully have charged, including allowable annual increases, if there had been no interruption in the tenancy.

“With what’s been going on with the escalating price of real estate, which triggers an escalating price in rents, a lot of landlords are trying to circumvent the Tenancy Act by evicting their tenants, doing in some cases very minor renovations and then relisting their places at considerably higher than market value just for profit,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “We are wanting to have stronger rules in place other than what already exists, which in my opinion favours the landlord.”

Open, bright spaces mark new middle school Continued from page 1 number could change once final enrollment numbers are tallied later this month, 460 already exceeds the initial estimate of 425, according to Pat Duncan, New Westminster school district superintendent.

“A brand new school draws a lot of attention and rightly so, and this is such a beautifully designed school, and with the learner in mind, I think a lot of families are quite excited about having their children go to school here,” he said.

The final price tag for the new school isn’t in yet, but Duncan doesn’t expect it’ll go over its $19.8 million budget, even with a one-year delay.The building, meanwhile, is, for the most part complete. As with any new school, however, Duncan expects it’ll need some tweaking once staff and students have had some time to settle in.

“Any time you build a A brand new brand structure, there’s school draws a alwaysnew some finishing pieclot of attention es here and there,” he said. and rightly so ... “Those are all touch-ups and piddly little things.”

The facility features new spaces meant to foster students’ growth, including a new learning commons – a new term used for library.The learning commons will include rows of books, like a library, as well as computer stations and an interactive television atop a raised platform that students can use to make presentations to their peers.

“We’ve decided on the stacks now; we’re going to have curved stacks just to go with the flow of the curve,” Jones said. “Sometimes you just got to be in a space to see what’s going to make it a comfortable area.”

With the middle school up and running, the district’s attention now shifts to the new high school, which is expected to open three years from now. Duncan, however, is happy to take some time to enjoy the middle school just a little longer.

“It’s wonderful to be watching the children walk up the street to the new school here by the office,” he said.

Gord Sjodin, parent “If you look in the gym, there’s hardly any windows, but it’s really bright. It’s nice.”

Mellita Go, parent “(Qayqayt Elementary) was nice, but then you see this and it’s like oooh OK.”

Rory Leblanc, Grade 7 “I like it. It’s very big.”

Colleen Gillespie, parent “I think it’s better than expected.

It’s so lovely, I didn’t know what to expect.”

Riley Bovin, Grade 7 “It’s much bigger and nicer, (and) cleaner. “

Joanne Bovin, parent “… this is amazing compared to NWSS.” There’s no water buckets and leaks from the ceiling yet.”

Patricia Falk, parent “I like it. It’s fancy.”

Sherman Stevens, parent “I like the open classes, you can see into the classes.”

“It’s not often that we file charges in court, to be honest,” animal control officer Margie Fox told the Record, “but, in cases like this, where we feel that it’s more serious and, so far, the cooperation on one side has been non-existent, we’re not really confident that a bylaw

offence notice would be an adequate response.”

The owners, a man and a woman, took off after the Aug. 11 attack before emergency services personnel arrived on the scene, according to the alleged victim, who said he and a dog he was walking were attacked

near a grassy area at the east end of Agnes Street.

The last known address of the owners was in New Westminster, according to Fox, but she said the couple has moved.

“We know who they are, but we haven’t located them,” she said.

The alleged victim, a New West resident named Cam who didn’t want his full name used, said he was walking Atticus, his neighbour’s eight-year-old wheaten terrier, when they turned a corner and saw a man, Continued on page 12

Opinion OUR VIEW

A fresh start to a new school year Can anything replace the smell of a new notebook, the echo of a new school locker being slammed shut, the feel of a new knapsack bought for a new school year? Probably not. But combine that with a brand new school and, well, it’s no wonder folks at the open house at the new Fraser River Middle School were pretty excited.

The school is a year late in opening, but that didn’t

dampen the parents’ and students’ enthusiasm one little bit. In fact, it may have made everyone just a little more appreciative.

Education has become a political football, a way to tighten budgets and force parents and teachers to fork out more in an effort to save a couple of bucks here and there. But in this constant battle much is forgotten about why education and our schools are not just

places of learning, but places of living. And they are vital to the very soul of our society. And why, because of that, they deserve our utmost attention.

Students spend most of their day in school.They learn from textbooks and computers, but more than that they learn how to respect each other, how to share with the student at the next desk and how we all learn from each other. If

we don’t learn the simple act of how to get along with each other in school, we are much less likely to learn those lessons later in life.

Students now face challenges that most of us never faced in our school years.

And the school system is challenged to deal with it all.

Parents’ expectations of how their children should be dealt with have also changed dramatically. No

longer can teachers brandish a strap, or even simply yell at a student. No longer does the teacher have the final word. Students also, for the most part, know their rights.

And this is all good.

Students will be expected to take on more responsibilty as they move up through the system.They will become volunteers, leaders, employees, activists and engaged citizens.They

will learn to pass on what they have learned and become responsible parents and allies to young people themselves. At least these are our hopes for them all.

Every student in the Fraser River Middle School is starting fresh in some way this new school year.We wish them, and all students in New Westminster, the very best school year.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Health care heads to court

Let’s say you are on a wait-list for the type of surgery that will play a huge role in your life, perhaps the kind that restores full mobility or removes chronic pain or simply provides a level of comfort you haven’t felt for some time. Do you have the right to pay for that surgery in a private health-care clinic, bypassing the more clogged publicly funded system in favour of quicker treatment?

That question is at the core of a court case beginning this week in B.C. Supreme Court.The implications of the case are potentially huge.

The case itself is almost eight years old but has been delayed for various reasons.

It involves a private healthcare clinic run by Dr. Brian Day (along with some of its patients) suing the B.C. government because it won’t allow people to buy private insurance for medically necessary services that are covered in the public system.

The case is expected to last months and will likely extend well beyond that because whatever the verdict, the losing side will undoubtedly appeal the judgment all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

A couple of important principles are in play here: should everyone have the same access to health care no matter how much money someone has, or do individuals have a constitutional right to purchase health care if they think it is necessary?

The Supreme Court of Canada has already weighed in on this matter, sort of. It

ruled residents of Quebec could indeed purchase private insurance, but the ruling was confined to Quebec only.

Many observers think the case will push our healthcare system to resemble ones more common in Europe, the so-called “hybrid” model that combines both the public and private side.

But even if that does occur, it’s far from certain how sweeping any changes will be. Nothing dramatic has changed in Quebec, for example, despite that high court ruling back in 2005.

A key factor here is that no matter what the outcome of the B.C. case, there are only so many doctors and nurses in the system who can treat people. Even if the clinic were to win outright, it’s far from clear whether a high percentage of healthcare providers would defect entirely to the private side.

Keep in mind those private health clinics exist only if they make money. If not enough patients (there are currently about 80,000 British Columbians on some kind of medical wait-list) opt to pay (presumably) thousands of dollars to get off that list and have their surgery, the clinics will not be in a position to hire more doctors and nurses.

Nevertheless, the impact of this case is going to be felt one way or another.

How big an impact won’t be known for a couple of years yet, but I suspect provincial governments are watching this one nervously.

Stewardson paving was poorly planned

Artists lobby to save 100 Braid St. studios

Dear Editor When I saw the signs warning of repaving on Stewardson Way my jaw dropped.

On the last weekend the Pattullo Bridge was closed yet.

I knew there would be major headaches with traffic. But what did occur was beyond my worst imagination. I had to drop by work in Richmond at noon on Saturday, but the traffic was gridlocked in any route to the Queensborough Bridge. I had to detour into Burnaby to access the bridge.

A 10-minute drive took an hour. What about emergency vehicles?

This was a textbook example of bad planning. There was a massive failure to foresee the results. What combination of incompetence or arrogance allowed this to happen? If I screwed up this bad at my work I’d be fired.

Where is the accountability? Why the rush to pave Stewardson? It will still be there next week, month and year. Did none of the highly paid city staff think?

PROPS AND FLOPS

Piling on woes The Record failed to report excessive diesel emissions from the pile drivers operating at the Bosa construction site. Diesel emissions are highly toxic, and if some city councillors visited the site they would have seen and smelled the clouds of diesel that we have to breathe. In addition, what is the city thinking to allow more pile driving noise at the Degelder site a half a block away at the same time ?

Cheryl Tainsh

Transit troubles Did you notice that since yesterday all new buses have been replaced with the old ones? What a nonsense. Translink replied to me on Twitter that it’s connected to opening of the new transit centre. How come? Does New West authorities choose old buses for its constituents?

Gail Hamill Beau This studio is so bright and beautiful filled with character and charm. I hope a brand new building will not offer some sanitized, cookie cutter studio. Whee will the artists go in between demolition and development? safetynet2razorwire It’s a box. An 87 year old +/-4000 sq.ft.box. It has no historic nor architectural significance.

Good north light. Rent is cheap - something only buildings counting their days to demolition can offer. Surprisingly, 4300 sq. ft. of studio space with attached art gallery area is included in the developers’ village plan. Purpose designed and built; meeting both artists’ needs and all modern safety standards - a ‘creative community’ subsidised by a ‘created community’.

This is obviously a different sort of development - with a preschool thru grade 12 educational facility in place of the usual massive commercial outlet.

‘Outside the box’ thinking. A good use of this relatively small piece of land.

With luck, and a lick of sense, this successful urban mix will inspire our city council to ensure that, rather than a sterile office park, the proposed Sapperton Green development (abutting Braid Stn) offers a fully integrated community with high density urban housing (none of those token townhouses tacked on please?) above a mix of shops and offices of various sizes - with the usual multistory parking replaced by low-cost affordable housing units.

Air ambulance barred from landing at RCH Darcy Islas Ridiculous. Why doesn’t someone think about a plan b before ruining lives and abolishing plan a.

News HYACKS HOMECOMING 2016

Teams set to battle for tug-of-war supremacy Team Union looks to defend its title at Sept. 23 Homecoming event Don Hauka

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is gearing up to treat a batch of broken hearts as the trash talk in a Royal City turf war heats up before the F.G. Richards Sr. Memorial Tugof-War Competition.

The second-annual community competition on Sept. 23 to see who has the most pull in New Westminster is generating some good-natured verbal jousting from city hall to the union hall.

The competition pits teams from New Westminster City Hall, the New Westminster and District Labour Council, Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation and the New Westminster School District against each other for the coveted F.G. Richards Sr. Memorial trophy.

The hospital foundation’s “Medical Marvels” are hoping to redeem themselves after failing to make it to the final last year.

What better way to help break in the brand new turf … than by seeing who has the most pull in the Royal City?

“As B.C.’s busiest cardiac care centre, Royal Columbian Hospital is well prepared to treat the broken hearts suffered by the other teams who go down to defeat at the hands of the Medical Marvels this year,” said

spokesperson Jason Howe.

But New Westminster and District Labour Council secretary-treasurer Carolyn Rice says Team Union is already in training to defend their title and warn all comers that “they will get more than they bargained for” on the field. Rice’s squad beat Mayor Jonathan Cote’s “New West City Haulers” in the finals last year.

The competition is named after F.G. Richards Sr., the first chief of the Hyacks Volunteer Fire Brigade and therefore the Royal City’s first Hyack.

The tug-of-war contest is part of the Hyacks Homecoming 2016 celebrations, kicking off on Sept. 23 at Mercer Stadium. And you’d expect a good-natured turf war at an event with the theme “New Look, New Ground, New West,” says Hyacks Football head coach Farhan Lalji.

“After all, what better way to help break in the brand new turf at the stadium than by seeing who has the most

pull in the Royal City?” Lalji said.

This Royal City tradition kicks off at 4 p.m. with the alumni football game.

Pre-game family-fun starts at 4:30 p.m. and features on-field kids’ activities like the bouncy castle and football toss.You can also buy a

raffle ticket for a chance to win a car provided by event sponsor Key West Ford.

The new Hyacks uniforms (silver/gun metal jerseys with white pants) will take centre stage under the lights as the Varsity squad take on the Carson Graham Eagles when the game kicks

off at 7:30 p.m.

The Hyacks football program is based on the pursuit of excellence on the field, in the classroom and in the community. It’s exemplified by the marquee of the annual Homecoming game.

Community Dog that attacked was a Labrador/Shar-Pei mix Continued from page 7 a woman and two unleashed dogs lying about 50 to 75 feet away.

Cam originally identified both dogs as pitbulls, but Animal Services has since said only one of the dogs appears to be a “bully breed,” while the other, the animal apparently responsible for most of the damage, has actually been determined to be a Labrador retriever/Shar Pei mix.

Cam said the Lab/Shar Pei charged and bit him several times before clamping on to Atticus’s neck.

The second dog eventually joined in the attack, according to Cam. He said he sustained bites to his right hand during the

incident, as well as 10 deep bite wounds to his left leg and a deep bite and tear to

his left hand, which resulted in tendon damage and required several stitches to close.

Atticus, meanwhile, sustained cuts to both sides of his head that required

stitches and a 10-inch tear on his neck that required surgery and the insertion of three drain tubes to repair.

The vet bill for the damage totalled more than $800, according to Atticus’s owner, Earl MacDonald.

“This is not something that I’m willing to let go,” MacDonald told the Record in an interview shortly after the attack.

The charges against the owners will likely include at least two counts of dogs not leashed and two counts of dog caused serious injury, according to Fox. “I don’t think it was intentional,” she said. “It was just, unfortunately, something that could have been prevented very easily.”

Taking the kinder, gentler approach

New client care ambassadors work to de-escalate problems in hospital emergency rooms before they blow up

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

With a steady rise in reported incidents of violence at big urban hospitals like Royal Columbian, security officials in the Fraser Health Authority could have decided to beef up uniformed security officers, arming them with batons and pepper spray.

Instead, they’ve decided to add their version of a Walmart greeter – and the move seems to be paying off.

Six months ago, a new breed of security guard, wearing Dockers and a blue golf shirt, began working the room at Royal Columbian’s emergency department during peak hours.

Called client care ambassadors, they are trained security officers, but their role in the ER is anything but heavy-handed.

“A lot of it is just client care, everything from bringing a glass of water to a warm blanket to just sitting at a person’s bedside and just talking to them,” said RCH ambassador David Eden, who’s been on the job since November.

During his 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. shift, Eden said he circulates among patients and visitors in the ER, keeping an eye out for people who look out of sorts, who might be pacing, grumbling to themselves, clenching their jaws or raising their voices.

“If I can find some way of helping that person, that calms them down, and if they’re calm, then the staff is calm, the department is

calm and the chances of violence drops dramatically,” Eden said.

Between 2013 and 2015, reported incidents of violence at RCH more than doubled, jumping from 43 to 98.

The client care ambassador program, originally piloted at St. Paul’s in Vancouver before being extended to RCH and Surrey Memorial, is designed to cut into that number by anticipating the needs of distraught and aggressive ER patients and visitors before they become violent.

The initiative seems to be making a difference.

Six months after the RCH program was put in place, physical aggression in the ER was down by 39 per cent, verbal aggression was down by 13 per cent and the ER staff’s feelings of safety and security went from an average of 5.1 to 7.4 on a 10-point scale.

According to data tracked on iPads during their shifts over that time, RCH client care ambassadors de-escalated 443 incidents where they observed some type of aggression.

“Potentially, those 443 could have turned into higher-level aggression, up into physical aggression,” JeffYoung, executive director of integrated protection services, told the Record.

Because the ambassador job is new and doesn’t supplant a regular security guard position, ambassadors can focus on building rapport with patients and families and leave “handson” interventions to their uniformed counterparts.

But avoiding physical en-

counters isn’t always possible.

“I’ve had calls where four or five New West PD officers come in with a single person that they’ve apprehended, and my job is to make sure that transition from police to hospital is as smooth as possible,” Eden said. “It’s not always successful. If these people are up on drugs or alcohol, then sometimes there’s not much I can do, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t try.”

The client care ambassador program recently earned a Golden Ap-

ple award in the workplace health innovation category at the 10th annual B.C. Health Care Awards.

And one of Eden’s fellow RCH ambassadors, Jessie Gauley, was also recently awarded a Q-Pin by B.C.

Emergency Health Services for her work promoting patient safety.

It’s rewarding work, according to Eden, who was a regular hospital security guard for integrated protection services contract provider, Paladin Security, before he applied for the ambassador job.

For him, the most rewarding moment on the job so far didn’t even have much to do with de-escalating violence.

A man in his 60s had spent days alone in a room just off the emergency department sitting by the

bedside of his dying wife.

Eden and a social worker worked together to secure him a recliner.

“It was just him and her, very much alone,” Eden said of the man.

The man came back to thank Eden for being there for him in his time of need.

“It was quite a touching moment,” Eden said. “The fact that we get to know these people, both staff and visitors and patients on a very personal level is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever experienced in my life.”

Building a business Kanwarjit Lall immigrated to Canada with his family almost three years ago in hopes of a better life.

He had been trained as a computer engineer back in his home country of India and had also done some immigration consulting work on the side.When deciding whether to work for someone else upon his arrival in New West, or setting up his own business, the father-oftwo went with the latter.

He first enrolled himself at Vancouver’s Ashton College, successfully completing the immigration consultant diploma within one year. He passed the exam shortly after and gained his certification.

During his time at school, he attended the Skills Connect for Immigrants program at Douglas College (see more on page 22), where he was teamed up with a career coach who helped him prepare for the test and taught him about Canadian culture and the business landscape.

“They made me understand how the Canadian labour market works, what are the expectations of the employer, what can you expect in an interview, how long it takes for you to get that first call,” explained Lall, adding it was a very useful program, one that should be attended by all newcomers.

“It’s a good experience and things are moving along. Sometimes you might feel demoralized, sometimes you might feel like things aren’t moving.

What I realized, is you need to slow down sometimes, to get in the fast lane.”

Fast forward to today and the young entrepreneur is at the helm of his own immigration consulting company, Admire Immigration Services, which helps individuals from various countries navigate Canada’s immigration system and all the required legal steps.

The company has one office in the Royal City and one in India.The website is

full of information, including facts about Canadian immigration, what people should know if they’re considering a family or visitor’s visa, testimonials and more.

“I am a truck driver by profession. Somebody gave me (a) reference of Mr. Kanwarjit Singh Lall.

I came and met him, and was delighted to meet him the very first day. My application for work was handled by him very professionally and genuinely. I was granted (a) visa within three months. I am thankful to him and his team for the great support,” reads a testimonial by Gagandeep Singh.

Meanwhile, Lall is hopeful more than ever that the quality of life he left India for is now attainable.

“The business has progressed a lot over the last six to eight months.We have a good number of clients,” he said. “We are now able to meet our expenses.”

Looking for work in your Public library is a valuable resource for new Canadians field? Douglas can help Skills Connect program pairs immigrants up with a career coach to help them find work in their field The Skills Connect for Immigrants program at Douglas College has led more than 2,700 Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley newcomers to employment fitting their pre-landing skills, experience and education.

The free one-year program pairs up new immigrants with a career coach.

From there, participants receive the following: information about their trade or profession in Canada, a career plan, a professional resume and “Canadian-style” job search skills, introductions to employers and professionals in their field, job interviews, language and credential assessments, funding for short-term courses to improve qualifications and English skills and ongoing support.

“Even how to leave a

voicemail,” said program coordinator Lara Marchionni. “We help them step by step.”

Since the program started in 2009, Marchionni said 76 per cent of skilled immigrants have found work in their areas of expertise, including nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, engineers, teachers and architects.

She added the most rewarding part of her job is when she gets a phone call from a student, informing her they got the job.

“That’s what really wakes me up in the morning.They often write to us about what they gained from the program, and sometimes, it’s just eye-opening,” she said.

The Skills Connect for Immigrants program is for the following kind of applicants: immigrants with cer-

tification in their field; or have five years of experience in a profession, trade or high skill occupation from outside of Canada; or are employed immigrants lacking high school, essential skills or a recognized certification; individuals who are unemployed (and non-EI) or employed in a job outside their field; individuals with an English proficiency at a high intermediate to advanced level; immigrants who are motivated to find work in their field; and permanent residents (five years or less) living in the Lower Mainland/Fraser Valley area of B.C.

Community Artists launch petition to help save studio space Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Artists have drawn up a petition they hope will save 100 Braid Street Studios from the wrecking ball.

In May, city council approved a zoning amendment bylaw that would pave the way for a residential highrise, a 60,000-squarefoot school for Urban Academy and 4,300 square feet of art gallery and studio space at the site near Braid and Brunette.The petitioners hope the building at 100 Braid St., built in 1929 as the winery building for B.C. Distillery, can be saved as part of the development.

“I felt like the building could be incorporated into the whole scheme.

With its heritage values, I thought it could be like the heritage homes or buildings that are incorporated into townhouses and apartment complexes from the Lower Mainland,” said artist Iris Mes Low. “People don’t know how beautiful it is because they see it from the

wrong side, they see it from Braid Street.They don’t see how beautiful the windows on the other side are.”

The petition says it’s tragic that the “light-filled” heritage building is slated for demolition, as it has so much to offer the city in terms of the arts, as well as special events such as weddings and pop-up galleries.

While they’re not opposed to redevelopment of the site, the petitioners would like to see the building incorporated into the site plan.

“The atmosphere is so much different in a new build than an old one.We don’t know what the light will be like.We don’t have any guarantees on how much space each artist will get,” Mes Low said. “I think Wesgroup is fairly open to talking about things like that. I don’t think they will save the building.”

Mes Low said a Wesgroup representative told her the developer will try to reuse some components of the building, such as windows and old-growth wood-

en beams, but the building itself isn’t structurally sound or salvageable.

Artist Susan Grieg began leasing the warehouse in March 2015 and spent three months renovating it into a space that could accommodate private art studios and a gallery. A year later, the business is a place for artists, as well as fashion shows, weddings and other events.

As of Aug. 26, 150 people had signed the petition.

A Wesgroup spokesperson could not be reached for comment before the Record’s deadline to comment.The company emailed a statement instead.

“It was always intended throughout Wesgroup’s rezoning of 100 Braid St., to work alongside the local arts community in order to enhance the location while re-

flecting the artist’s needs, particularly through the inclusion of a new and updated artist studio and gallery, which has been part of the proposal from early on in the process.The new studio will encompass mechanical and electrical updates to allow more artists of varying crafts the ability to utilize this space. Additionally, attention will be made to the location of the

space in order to emphasize a natural light-filled studio, offering an optimal ambience to work under.This will be made available to artists at the current rent as it is today,” said a statement emailed to the Record.

“Further, the rezoning will recognize the existing heritage of the site through signage, public art, place naming and architectural landscape features.”

ASK A GHOST REMOVAL EXPERT Is ghost rescue a scam?

Do ghosts even exist?

For those who believe, there’s no question. For Skeptics, there’s always some rational explanation. 3 reasons to believe in Ghosts: 1) Not everything in our world is explained by Science.

DR. JAYNE GIBSON Some Scientific knowledge has been debunked. The earth is not flat and dinosaurs may be ancestors of warm-blooded birds. 2) We believe in lots of things that can’t be seen or proven. Intuition; Religious Stories; Being In-Love. 3) Evidence from Paranormal Investigators and Quantum Physics is impressive. It’s all about Energy. Ghosts have the same energy as your kitchen outlet. Paranormal Investigators produce actual voice, physical and photographic evidence of Ghosts. Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, my services work anyway!

How Do I Choose the Right Color Scheme?

When decorating your home, nothing is more important than color/ lighting. Choosing a color scheme is vital to the room and proper lighting will enhance your scheme.

Consider: Do I want cool or warm? Bright MICHELLE BERNIER or subdued? Cozy or formal? Gone are the days when only choice was white for your walls! Go bold in a big way with today’s colors like Aqua, Crimson, Orange. Subdued colors like Blues, Greens, Neutrals, or mix the two for a polished look.

It’s important to choose a scheme that flows through the rooms for balanced and unified look. Each room can change the intensity/ value of the colors but be cautious that your newly painted room doesn’t feel out of place with the rest of the rooms in your house.

Get inspired by visiting us for some color advice! We can help you be Color Confident!

Why should I get an eye exam at least every two years and every year if I am a senior or a child?

A

Eye exams do much more than just give you an eyeglass prescription. Eye exams also DR. S. BACHRA can give you much inforCo-Owner & Chief Optometrist mation on your overall health. For example, Diabetes can sometimes be spotted early via an eye exam. One more than one case at our clinic, very serious issues were spotted during the eye exam. A young girl had a cancerous tumor behind her eye and if we had not spotted it early, who knows if the outcome would have been as good for her. Eye Exams are a critical part of your overall process of monitoring your health. Just going to an Optician for a prescription is never recommended.

Is there a new flu vaccine for people 65 and older?

Yes, there is a HighDose Influenza vaccine recognized as a new option with demonstrated enhanced protection against WENDY J SCOTT RN, BScN, MA influenza for adults 65 years and older. This group of people experience heightened susceptibility to influenzarelated complications due in large part to a natural and progressive weakening of the immune system with age. The flu can also worsen existing chronic conditions and has been shown to significantly reduce the ability to perform normal daily activities and impact quality of life.

I am thinking of mortgaging the equity in my home to pay debt. Is this a wise choice?

A

If you use your home equity to pay debt, then you are likely living beyond your means and spending far more than what you are taking in.

DAVID WOOD Licensed Insolvency Home equity loans allow you to borTrustee, CIRP row against the value of your home.

These loans appeal to borrowers who find that they can borrow relatively large amounts of money; but the effect is that you are trading unsecured debt and making it secured, against your home. A home equity loan is a type of second mortgage. If you do not pay your mortgage, you run the risk of losing your home. If your debt is unmanageable filing a consumer proposal or bankruptcy may be an option. You may be able to retain your assets and your equity while at the same time compromising your debts.

ocated in the Royal City Centre in New Westminster, eye care clinic FYidoctors takes a modern approach to patient care.

With a staff that’s as diverse as its clientele, the team at FYidoctors offers a long list of services including comprehensive eye health examinations, glaucoma testing, contact lenses, and children’s eye care, in as many as 10 different languages. They are the proud recipient of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce Inclusion Excellence Award and the Readers’ Choice Award for “Best Optometrists”.

“There’s always someone here who can relate to a patient,” says Dr. Errin Bligh, an optometrist at FYidoctors. “Eye care and choosing eyewear is personal so it helps to have optometrists and opticians with different perspectives and styles.”

Plus an all-female team of eight Doctors of Optometry brings an added layer of distinctiveness to the clinic.

“It’s pretty unique in the healthcare field,” says Dr. Bligh. “We have a reputation for taking that extra time with our patients and listening carefully to their needs.”

In order to deliver excellent service and leading-edge treatment, the clinic invests heavily in the latest technology for exams and manufacturing lenses.

It’s currently the only clinic in New

Westminster to use Optomap™ retinal imaging for example, which assists doctors with early detection of eye diseases and other health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

“Eyes are individual organs that are an extension of the brain,” explains Dr. Bligh.

“So they reflect what’s going on in the body.

That’s why it’s so important to check the health of your eyes. It’s not uncommon for the signs of a health condition to show in the eyes first.”

FYidoctors also offers state-of-theart contact lenses and a wide range of affordable designer frames.

With the help of highly sophisticated technology, their friendly team of eye care experts provides a seamless patient experience to meet all your vision needs.

Community OUR PAST

What ‘back to school’ meant in the early days Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Well, here we are once again with “back to school” being top of mind for many families.

School opening in the fall was definitely very different in the early decades of this city’s existence. It was sometimes hard to get the young people back into class as many were still actively needed at their summer work, around the home property, in the agricultural industry and so on. It was a different world, but school – reading, writing, arithmetic and other topics as time went on – was extremely valuable.

There were many school buildings throughout the city’s history. Some are mostly forgotten, while others are well remembered by those who spent time there and cherish their stories and tangible reminders of classes, teachers and the buildings themselves.

There were buildings such as Duke of Connaught,Trapp Tech, Lord Lister, Central School, Columbian College, Royal City,West End, Hume Park and Sapperton. And there were earlier forms of John Robson, Lord Kelvin, Richard McBride, Queen Elizabeth, Queensborough, F.W. Howay and Herbert Spencer. Some changed names, such as Vincent Massey and Lester Pearson. And there would be even more to make the list complete.

Many interesting discussions about attending school in New Westminster include

talk of the things needed to return to class in the fall.There are great stories and reminiscences from the 1930s to 1960s that focus on the shopping required, especially at Woodward’s.

The Woodward’s “back to school $1.49 day” always seems to be a central topic.

It was a different world, but school was extremely valuable

Today, we often see backto-school lists and displays at various stationery stores.

Sometimes these are for different school districts and even schools themselves. In this city, many folks will remember “the list” which was frequently a halfpage in size and just simply typed. And there were always items needed for a

particular grade in an upcoming year.

There were pencils (HB), pens (if allowed), an eraser (Pink Pearl and maybe a soft art type), sometimes a straight pen and nibs, note books (various types for different grades), sometimes a scrapbook, an art portfolio, blue shorts with white stripe and so on for gym class, and sometimes more depending on the year and grade.

Great memories for most.

Interested in what the earlier schools of New Westminster looked like and in hearing some accounts of early education locally? Where were the earliest schools located?

The New Westminster Historical Society on Wednesday, Sept. 21, will feature a presentation on this topic starting at 7:30 p.m. in the New Westminster Public Library auditorium. It will be lots of fun, and there won’t be a test.

The Greater Vancouver Food Bank is asking Royal City residents to dig deep in their cupboards to help feed their low-income neighbours.

The food bank is hosting its first-ever citywide donation drive and has distributed more than 38,000 bags to Lower Mainland households to collect non-perishable goods.

“This is the time of the year where we are looking to the community, after summer, to help us collect food,” said Ariela Friedmann, the food bank’s communications director.

Participating cities are New Westminster, Burnaby, North Vancouver and Vancouver.Volunteers will be back on Sept. 17 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. to collect the bags from people’s doorsteps.There are three foods in high demand: canned fish, canned fruit (in natural juices, not syrup)

Fill the bags: Ariela Friedmann, director of communications with the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society, with one of the donation bags from the citywide food drive. The drive is taking place on Sept. 17.

and beans of any kind.

“These items are in low, low supply on our shelves, and they are the items that make it easier for somebody who is hungry to have a more balanced meal,” Friedmann said.

The food will go to people in communities with food bank distribution

points, including New Westminster.

“The people in your communities will be the beneficiaries,” she said.

Anyone who did not receive a bag at home can still help by dropping donations off at Save-On-Foods at 1025 Columbia St. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

‘Nothing short of a championship’

Varsity Hyacks hit the gridiron in search of a championship win Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Alexandre Dumas likely never worried about reading offenses or the blitz.

But the 19th-century French author of The Three Musketeers likely would appreciate the journey that this year’s New Westminster Hyacks starting linebackers will take as they prepare to launch the team’s 2016 season.

Seniors Trew Dancey, Josh Olango and Connor Pattison certainly bring a vast amount of skills to the defensive side of the field, just as they do when the ball is going the other way. Contributors on offence, what the trio brought to both sides of the ball last year is merely a glimpse of what many expect as the club sets its sights on the 2016 B.C. high school football AAA championships.

Like the characters in Dumas’ famous novel, they are different people from different backgrounds, but united for a cause – a championship.

“Josh is quieter, Connor is very assertive and focused, while Trew just does everything the right way,” noted New Westminster head coach Farhan Lalji.

“They each bring something different to their role, but they bring a lunchbucket attitude.”

As Dancey tells it, the road to their 2016 goal won’t be easy, but it will be worth all the sweat and toil.

“It’s important to have a good start (to the season) but more important how we finish it,” said the six-foottwo outside linebacker, who is eager to carry one of the captain’s letters as a Grade 12.

“What we want is nothing short of a championship.”

Olango slides to inside linebacker after being a staple as a defensive end last year.The five-foot-nine, 190-pound Surrey native enters his fourth season in Hyack colours, eager to make the smooth transition to that of a defensive scrambler.

“Going from defensive end to linebacker, so far I’m seeing that there’s a very big skills gap. Rather than chasing the ball, I’ve got to address the pass and run, read

the play and be quick on my feet,” said Olango.

Taking into account all the wrinkles the opposing team can unveil, the duties of the linebacker are a test of quickness, flexibility and strength.

“We’re working on a new defence now, so there’s a lot to learn,” remarked Dancey. “As a player, you have to be coachable, listen to what the coaches say.You have to get rid of your bad habits, and when you’re learning a new position, that’s very important.”

Dancey, like Pattison, has experience at the position to build on. Olango’s skillset made him a good candidate to make the move, said Lalji.

They all take pride in their defensive contributions – and considering their offensive talents, that’s saying something.

All three are capable ball carriers, with Dancey breaking out late last year in the team’s first playoff win – a 61-7 trouncing of Handsworth.The lanky running back scored five times in a contest where New West piled on 546 yards rushing.

Dancey accounted for 225 yards en route to a new club record for most touchdowns in a game. In that match, Olango counted a pair of his own, equalling his regular season total.

Pattison, a five-foot-11 dynamo who also worked the O-line, suffered a preseason shoulder injury but besides a few practices, didn’t miss a down.

They each bring something different to their role, but they bring a lunch-bucket attitude.

It did create more opportunity for Olango at fullback, which he made the most of.

“We really like what (Olango) did. He has an explosiveness,” said Lalji. “We knew he was fast and explosive, but he’s not a tall play-

er and he’d spin and pirouette. … We needed him to be tougher, be more of a runner and less of a dancer. He got that as the season went on.”

Like the rest of their Hyack brethren, Dancey, Olango and Pattison are taking last year’s lesson – including the 28-12 loss to Vancouver College in the provincial semifinal – to heart.

Although first instinct is to drive the season-ending loss from the memory bank, the real lesson comes from absorbing it beyond the pain and disappointment and converting it to something useful.

Embrace it as part of the motivation and grow from it.

“Obviously the championship is on our minds as a team,” said Olango. “I think we all took last season to heart, and it will only help us going forward.”

The defeat ended a year where New West’s 7-5 record unveiled some tremendous strides as a group. But now a torch is passed from graduating on-field marshals like Jeff Lutgu, Gurvir Ghuman, Shaneet Rishi, Dillon Cusker and Kevin

Osea to the young centurions.

In the last win of 2015, the Hyacks took down St. Thomas More in the B.C. AAA quarterfinals 27-13, thanks to a standout defensive performance. Dancey, who scored twice in the contest, Pattison and Olango were part of a polished defence which held the Knights to 175 yards on

offence.

That set up a rematch with Vancouver College, who had rolled to a 49-21 win in an October meeting. Although New West didn’t advance to the final, they definitely showed improvement as the gap was squeezed to 16 points.

Still, it remains a major motivating factor for those returning.

The Hyacks averaged 35 points a game during the regular season and collected more than 2,400 yards via the run. But a new season isn’t just about replicating what was done before, but pushing the boundaries for bigger, better things.

Just as they did as 2015 went along.

It was evident in a true Continued on page 38

Hyacks set to play first game on new Mercer field Continued from page 37 statement game last November, when New West knocked off the defending 3A champion South Delta Sun Devils 35-24. Down six points at the half, the Hyacks caught fire and held the Sun Devils to just a field goal, while racking up 20 points through various means.

For Olango, that was

a highlight he personally hopes to use as a stepping stone.

“My biggest game was definitely against South Delta,” he said. “From last year to this one, I think I learned to be aggressive and trying 100 per cent at all times.”

Dancey said despite the accolades and spotlight which comes from scoring, his biggest boost comes from making a game-jarring tackle.

“That’s definitely what I enjoy most – knocking a guy on his butt,” Dancey said. “I’ve gotten stronger, I bring my speed. I think as a team, we’re all in this together and want to show that right to the end.”

Said like a true Musketeer.

The varsity Hyacks play their first game on the new Mercer Stadium field this Friday. Starting at 7:30 p.m., the hometown boys will face off against Notre Dame, a Calgary team ranked third in provincial play in Alberta.

Getting ready: New Westminster Secondary School’s senior Hyacks football team was out practising Tuesday afternoon in anticipation of their first game on Mercer Stadium’s new turf field this Friday. The local boys are set to take on Calgary visitors Notre Dame, a team that’s ranked third in Alberta. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

MEMORIAL DONATIONS

Our dear Mother passed away peacefully on the morning of Thurs., Aug. 25, 2016. Marie was born in Jasper, and was raised in Calgary, Alberta. She is predeceased by her parents, Thomas and Mary Glover (nee Beck), her husband John (2003), and her son Paul (2015). Marie is survived by her children Thomas (Merry), Marianne (Alan) and Jacqueline (Michael) as well as her eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Marie is also survived by her extensive extended family and close friends, who were all an important part of her life. ‘Auntie Marie’ will be missed by many.

Marie was 1 of 5 women in the 1949 first graduating class of the U.B.C. Faculty of Pharmacy, and had a successful career as a pharmacist for 35 years, retiring in 1993. Marie was an active member within her sorority, maintaining friendships throughout her life. While attending U.B.C., Marie met and married classmate, John Cloutier in 1950, and they were blessed to celebrate 52 years together. They lovingly raised 4 children. Following the birth of their youngest child Paul, Marie and John became active members of BACI (Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion). In 2003 Marie was honored, and awarded a Lifetime Membership with the Association, which was so near and dear to her heart. Marie was a world-wide traveler throughout her life - via trains, planes, automobile, and cruise ships. Marie was a Charleston Dancer, Bridge Player, an avid Curler, and Pitch-and Putter. She also enjoyed many lunches and events with her friends from the Red Hat Society.

0ur Mother had great Faith, a sweet personality, a love for music, and a beautiful smile! We were so blessed to have such a wonderful, nurturing, and inspirational Mother, Grandmother, and GreatGrandmother. Thank you to the care-givers at New Vista, and the staff at Rideau Manor, for the kind care you gave to our Mom. We welcome you to a Celebration of Life for our ‘Sweet Marie’.

I have a pretty good handle on the pulse of the market and when I see slight shifts I make recommendations to my sellers DAVE VALLEE, LOCAL NEW WESTMINSTER REALTOR

The Sign of the Times

If you live in New Westminster then you know that Dave Vallee is one of the top selling realtors in the city. It’s hard to drive around the city and not see a TeamDaveVallee Personal Real Estate Corporation For Sale sign, house for sale arrow or open house sign. It is clear this is a very hard working real estate team!

“We never stop promoting our listings until the property is sold,” says Dave Vallee. “In this busy real estate market it’s crucial the property gets as much exposure as possible, especially during the first week of being on the market. I want to ensure that when the seller receives an offer they can feel certain that their home was given enough exposure prior to the offer,” Dave says. Dave feels in today’s real estate market of quick sales and bidding wars, exposure becomes even more important to the outcome of the sale. Equally important is knowing the current real estate conditions and knowing when it’s time to adjust the marketing strategies. “I have a pretty good handle on the pulse of the market and when I see slight shifts I make recommendations to my sellers,” says Dave.

Dave is in his 26th year of real estate and has seen all types of markets and

has negotiated through all sorts of situations to positive results. “Every sale has its challenges and my job is to troubleshoot and stick handle through the issues until the job is done,” says Dave. Long time assistant to Dave, Bev Ichiiwa says that in her 25 years in real estate she has never met a realtor more tenacious and dedicated to the job as Dave. “I have worked with Dave for 17 years and I have seen first hand the results of his experience and dedication. I have always said that if I ever needed a realtor, I would choose Dave every single time,” says Bev. “For me, the test of a good realtor is where they stand when there is a problem, and with Dave, that is always by his client’s side,” Bev says.

Being in the top 1% on the industry year after year is a testament to the

DAVE VALLEE

team’s hard work and dedication to their trade and to their clients.
