Highest of two towers on city’s waterfront would be nearly as tall as the Seattle Space Needle

By Theresa McManus

A skyscraper planned for New Westminster’s waterfront is nearly as tall as the Seattle Space Needle.

Bosa Developments is applying for a special development permit and a development variance permit to build a mixed-used development that includes a 53-storey (180-metre) skyscraper and a 43-storey (149-metre) highrise.The Seattle Space Needle measures 184 metres tall.

The proposal also includes two acres of greenspace next to Westminster Pier Park, a plaza at Begbie Street, completion of the waterfront esplanade, a 40-space child-care facility, at-grade commercial space in a two-storey building, underground and surface parking, pedestrian access throughout the site and five townhouses.

Up Front

THE NEW DOWNTOWN: An architect’s rendering, above, shows two highrises and a two-storey building (housing a restaurant and a 40-space child-care centre) planned for the waterfront site by River

Market. The highrises would include three-bedroom units in compliance with the city’s family-friendly housing policy. Below, a rendering shows the proposed site layout, which includes a two-acre park (the green space) next to Westminster Pier Park, a plaza at the foot of Begbie Street and an extension of the riverfront boardwalk. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Cote: ‘by far the tallest buildings in the city’ Continued from page 1 The Larco site was once zoned for five highrises, but later rezoned to allow three towers on the site.Two highrises and a twostorey building are now proposed for the site.

Dan Diebolt, development manager at Bosa Development, said the company recognizes this is a very important location in the city and wants to help “connect the dots” on the site that’s located between Westminster Pier Park and River Market. He said the design team has devised a plan that includes two towers.

“We thought this would really open up the skyline, shadows and the pedestrian environment.

We saw this as a great opportunity,” he said. “There is obviously a trade-off with heights.We think that warrants discussion and cer-

tainly want to be part of that, but we saw this as a really positive step and will see where that goes.”

Mayor Jonathan Cote said redevelopment of the site was first talked in the 1980s.

“I know this site has always been seen for its opportunity on our waterfront and has always been viewed as the missing link,” he said. “There is no doubt when the community first starts to see this application, the first thing that is going to catch their eye is the height of the buildings.These will by far be the tallest buildings in the City of New Westminster.

I think it’s been part of a compromise process on this particular site.”

Coun. Bill Harper thanked Bosa for bringing forward an application that is critical for completion of the city’s waterfront.

“I actually like the design.This

property and the property where Pier Park is were originally designed for 13 around 34-storey towers. I think what this does is it places two towers instead of 13 with quite a bit of open space.

We thought this would really open up the skyline... and the pedestrian environment

Quite frankly, I didn’t expect that when we heard this was coming forward,” he said. “I think it’s very open.There’s lots of view corridors, thin buildings. I think they are iconic.”

Coun. Patrick Johnstone expressed concern about potential construction impacts on River Market. He wants the developer to mitigate those impacts and ensure access is provided as much as possible via Begbie Street.

So, what’s next?

On Monday, city council directed staff to process the application.

Next steps include public consultation and a presentation to the New Westminster Design Panel.

In addition to a special development permit that would be reviewed and issued by the city’s director of development services, the project would require council’s approval for development variance permits for building footprint, parking, building siting and building height.Three towers of 38 storeys, 47 storeys and 29 storeys are permitted under the current zoning.

A staff report states public consultation will take place in October, but the city and the developer recognize there will be transportation impacts, both during construction and as a result of the development, so more information is being gathered on those fronts.

“Because it’s such a complex project to construct, the applicant is working diligently to get their ducks in a row to understand what that process would be,” said Jackie Teed, the city’s planning director. “The short answer is we don’t have a fixed timeline right now.We did include one in the report that outlines the basic steps, but we aren’t going to consultation in October. As soon as we have those couple of pieces in place we will go out to public consultation. “

Timeline: From five towers in 1996 to two skyscrapers in 2016 1996: Larco Investment Ltd. receives zoning approval to build a 1,000unit housing project in five towers in the 600 and 700 blocks of Front Street.

access to the waterfront, better view corridors and integration with the rest of the downtown, and mitigation of impacts of the railway corridor.

2004: Larco agrees to the city’s request to modify its proposal to include a more expansive and generous waterfront esplanade, better public

March 2005: Following a public hearing, council gives third reading to a bylaw allowing Larco to build five towers ranging from 25 to 30 storeys. As

part of the plan, Larco would provide amenities such as pedestrian overpasses at McKenzie and Begbie streets, 50 per cent of the costs of a vehicle and pedestrian overpass at Sixth Street, a landscaped esplanade on Larco’s property and the water lot located over the Fraser River and 148 public parking stalls.

2013: The city approaches Larco about the possibility of reconsidering the density and scale of the previously approved plan for the site and works with Larco on a new master plan for the waterfront property.

2014: The city rezones the site to permit three

highrises (ranging from 25 to 45 storeys in height), a new 0.8-hectare (twoacre) park, an extended waterfront esplanade, more open spaces with view of the Fraser River, a 150-room hotel and space for a daycare.

Spring 2016: Larco sells 660 Quayside Dr. to Bosa Development.

October 2016: Council considers a staff report recommending the special development permit and development variance permits be processed. The application is proposing a two-storey commercial building, a 38-storey highrise (128 metre) and a 53-storey (180 metre) highrise.

Queensborough facing a child-care crisis

City is making efforts to expand options for families in the ’Boro Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Queensborough is often touted as an affordable option for families. But it’s not without its pitfalls.

The ’Boro lacks childcare spaces, which are desperately needed for the growing neighbourhood.

“I actually didn’t expect it to be this bad,” Queensborough resident Jennifer Kerr told the Record.

Kerr’s son is in Grade 1 at Queen Elizabeth Elementary School. She and her family moved to the Lower Mainland a few years ago.

They chose Queensborough because it was affordable.

But when they arrived, Kerr had a tough time finding care for her preschoolaged son. Eventually she lucked out and got him into three-to-five care at the Queensborough Community Centre, which is run by the Kolumbia Inn Daycare Society (KIDS).

But this year he was too old for the KIDS program, and Kerr was sent scrambling to find him care somewhere else.

“I had heard, through frantic searching, as most mothers do, that you need to get your name on a waitlist for the school’s beforeand-after care that’s run by the (Westminster Children’s After School Society),” she said.

The waitlist, however, has 112 names on it and room for only 20 kids. By the time Kerr’s son started Grade 1 this fall, he was nowhere near the top of the list.

Kerr found an unlicensed, in-home child-care provider for the time being.

While there’s nothing wrong with the care he’s receiving, Kerr said she would rather see him in a care program with more than a few kids.

Lack of suitable childcare spaces in Queensborough has become a major issue, according to the City

of New Westminster.

Last year, staff conducted a child-care needs assessment, which indicated there was a growing crisis in Queensborough when it comes to available child care – both for the infant and toddler demographic and for kids needing beforeand-after school care.

Between 2001 and 2011, the majority of the city’s population growth in children occurred in Queensborough (50.3 per cent).

As of 2014, there were 108 child-care spaces available in Queensborough and 1,240 kids aged zero to 12.

This is the widest divide in the city and equals only about eight spaces for every 100 kids in Queensborough.

The city has identified several reasons for the ’Boro’s child-care deficiency, including small-scale developments that often preclude discussions related to child-care space; the reluctance of some operators to open in the ’Boro because of limited transit options and traffic congestion; the limited number of churches

to provide space for childcare; a lack of suitable commercial space; and the floodplain that restricts daycare and in-home care facilities in older dwellings.

But the city isn’t about to give up on the ’Boro, according to senior social planner John Stark.

This week, city council approved a staff recommendation to use $34,000 from the child care reserve and

an additional $10,000 from the community amenity contributions to cover the costs of relocating and renovating a second portable for the Westminster Children’s After School Society.When complete, this will add another 20 before-and-after school care spaces, according to Stark.

Stark expects the second facility will open early in the new year. (It was al-

ready moved to the existing Westminster Children’s site at Queensborough Middle School.)

Council has also approved staff to move ahead on a plan to use city-owned land at 232 Lawrence St. for Queensborough’s first child-care centre for infants and toddlers.

“If the market cannot or will not respond, and given the housing that’s been built and the demand, which it is generating, there is a recognition that we will likely have to be a lot more involved,” Stark said, adding council’s approval this week is a good first step.

Meanwhile, Kerr is being realistic.While she’d love to see her son get a spot right away, she knows it’s a long shot.

“My expectation is I will never find before-and-after care for my son until he’s in Grade 5, when he doesn’t need it – he’ll age out before there’s any care available here,” Kerr said.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Love it or hate it, we think this is the one Sometimes it pays to wait.

Consider what the New Westminster waterfront might have looked like if the city back in the late ’90s had jumped at Larco’s plan to build five towers on the river.

Consider what the waterfront might have looked like without the now very popular “beachfront”Westminster Pier Park.

Consider what it all might have looked like with five towers, no pier park and

the parkade still in one grey chunk of concrete sandwiched between the Front Street area and the Larco development.

Planning, vision, political leadership and time, just plain time, can make all the difference between a livable city and a depressing mashup.

There will be lots of controversy about Bosa’s proposed new plan for its land on the waterfront.

Ideally, we’re sure, the

city would have liked to have gotten its mitts on this land much earlier and been able to directly control any potential development on the site. But the developers were smart to hang on to this now very valuable piece of property. And they’re smart to propose the plan that they have proposed.

It answers the city’s concerns about pedestrian corridors and, while blocking some views, will at least allow for more views over-

all than any previous plan.

It will also be subject to the city’s new bylaw requiring that 10 per cent of the units will be family-friendly – i.e. with three bedrooms.

Depending on your point of view about skyscrapers it will either be a blemish or a dramatic icon. But it will certainly be a landmark.

There are a lot of questions still to be answered about this development proposal: How will the parking work? How can it be built

without damaging, or seriously disrupting neighbouring residents’ lives? How will it impact downtown businesses?

Given the concerns recently about noisy construction pile driving on the Quay, this project would seem to be a pile-driving nightmare of gargantuan proportions.

It will certainly be an engineering challenge given the site. And, of course, building it to current seis-

mic requirements could be tricky.

The plan is not a done deal. It still has to be vetted by staff, and, of course, go through a public process.

It will be awhile before those towers will hit the market.

But, love it or hate it, our money is on this one making it to the final stage with minor adjustments.

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

What’s a local voice worth?

“I didn’t get my paper.”

Those were words that made Mrs. Dobie’s already thin lips get even thinner.

In a flash she would be dialing the old rotary phone on her desk. Calling some mom who would then either run out herself to make sure the Hope Standard was delivered to a reader’s doorstep, or her son got it there pronto. And, yes, it was a son. Only boys seemed to get the prized carrier jobs close to 40 years ago.

That was when readers didn’t question that they should pay for the local news.They knew the folks who put together the paper.

They knew the advertisers who put ads in the paper.

They knew it cost something to get something.

The first “non-subscription” paper I saw enter the news scene was nearly a decade later. A free-delivery paper started up in opposition to the Haney Gazette.

The Gazette was a thick three-section broadsheet with a fully-staffed paid subscription department. “I didn’t get my paper” still set fires under the folks in the circulation room. But now the new upstart paper also landed on their doorstep.

And while it didn’t have the loyal readership or news coverage the Gazette had, it was free.

It nibbled away at our paid subscription paper until we were toast.

Was the community better served? No.Was there better coverage? No. Did it always land on their doorstep? No. But free, well,

free was hard to fight. And free became the new business model, with advertisers footing the bill.

Fast forward close to four decades later, and New Westminster readers tell me that they value the Record in their lives. In fact, if there’s one complaint I hear too often, it’s that they want more coverage – not less.We agree.This city is unique in so many ways in the Lower Mainland. Residents seem to feel true ownership of this city and its past, present and future.

I believe many feel the same way about the Record.

A community newspaper is intertwined with a city’s democracy, a city’s culture and a city’s character.

When someone calls us to complain, or praise, city hall or the local police – we’re all ears.When someone is asking for help to build their community group.To help expand its services.To welcome new members – we’re here to lend a hand and share their story.When citizens decide to dive into local politics.We’re here to tell it like it is.

When the community honours its volunteers, builders and citizens, we’re here to share those good news stories in our pages and on our website.

I believe the time has come once again when folks who value a community newspaper will subscribe.

Free is nice, but it does come with a price.

Pat Tracy is the editor of the Record.

Rabbits, dove decapitated The Vancouver animal rights group Lifeforce said Satanists could have been to blame for the grisly mutilation of animals at the Queen’s Park Petting Farm in March.

Two rabbits and a dove had been decapitated and a white duck left for dead with two broken legs and a slashed neck.The heads of the decapitated animals were never found. Similar mutilations had occurred two years earlier, according to parks staff.

Commuters need public washrooms

Dockside residents want trees cut down

Dear Editor The installation of universally accessible, public washrooms in a paid-fare zone at Waterfront Station should be a priority in upcoming TransLink planning.

A TransLink spokesperson has stated: washrooms have not been installed due to cost and safety concerns. We know new money is available. Regarding safety: TransLink has a viable, safe, model for public washrooms in paid-fare zones – their Sea Bus washrooms.

Waterfront is a transportation hub: Three Sky Train lines; West Coast Express commuter train; Sea Bus. Waterfront is a gateway to Vancouver. Passengers from YVR expect washrooms at Waterfront. The only public washrooms there are for Sea Bus passengers.

Everyone else has to find the A&W (kudos A&W). No washrooms impacts most negatively on those with young children, seniors, and persons with disabilities. Let us all, individuals and organizations, tell TransLink: Fund Waterfront washrooms now.

Catherine Nelson, New Westminster

Trees at Quayside should be cut down Dear Editor Those trees infringing on Quayside views should go ASAP. This is an error planting trees there. They are in the way of calming and relaxing views; not fair. Just an idea. The beautiful sloping front lawn of city hall would make a wonderful apple orchard and the fully grown apple trees would not block any views. That’s a win-win for all.

Eric Mewhort Good lord, do Quayside residents ever stop complaining? You live in a beautiful area. Go for a walk, literally take three steps outside of your condo and you’ll see it.

Ben Inglis Don’t let the city cut them down because if they do they’ll put up more condo towers.

Jason Hulbert If it’s damaging patios ok. But you don’t own your view. alejandro alcantara Trees are beautiful and they clean the air, perhaps they could be trimmed back... I cannot imagine who would want to kill mature trees. I understand that people want views and they pay for them, but a little common sense and compromise can save the trees... Mature trees in neighbourhoods also add value to properties, they are markers of established neighbourhoods, usually the most desirable.

City may test ferry from Quay to ’Boro @ChMacArthur maybe there could be other stops at the shops & casino, with commercial buy-in. There’s already a wharf in the area @rickvug I like the idea! For this to work as day to day transportation ferry service will need to be frequent. @stickers66 All things being equal, the “trial ferry” costs should be borne by the city. Nobody likes to pay & that alone will skew the data. @rickvug I’ll be pleasantly surprised if the ferry works out. Fee and frequency shrinks an already small market.

City ‘We have to keep the dream alive,’ says city councillor

Continued from page 1 million is a number that I think caught all of us by surprise. It puts us in a very difficult situation as far as moving forward right away on this project.”

Johnstone said he hasn’t given up on the concept of building a fixed connection between Queensborough and the Quay.

“We have to keep the dream alive,” he said. “In the meantime, we need to be practical about what we can actually get done. I think the ferry idea is suboptimal. I don’t think it’s the ideal solution. I am concerned about the accessibility of it. I am concerned about the long-term viability. I am concerned about the message of essentially a very ephemeral system.

It’s the difference between building a light rail line and a bus route. A light rail line, when you build the infrastructure, it’s there.When you build a bus route you can change bus schedules any time you want.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the city knew the $11 million wouldn’t be

enough, but was surprised at the cost. He’s disappointed that Southern Rail has said there’s no way to provide a connection as part of the train bridge between the Quay and Queensborough and would like the city to continue to pursue that discussion further.

“Let’s not say goodbye to this,” he said, “but certainly building a fixed link with all the other projects we are doing, I believe it’s out of the question.”

As part of the city’s decision to allow a destination casino in New Westminster, it negotiated “development assistance compensation” funds for a variety of projects in the downtown and Queensborough neighbourhoods, including a crossing between the two areas.

“While the city has been successful in obtaining modest TransLink grants in 2015 and 2016 for Q2Q as well as a small donation from a private developer, totalling approximately $500,000, less than onethird of the funding necessary for Q2Q has been identified in existing budgets,

“Ferry services is seen as the most likely alternative within the resources available to the city in the near term and the exploration of a trial ferry services would allow the city to determine the demand by pedestrians and cyclists for a crossing in this area for recreation, utilitarian and community purposes,” said the report.

The report to council rec-

ommends that council direct staff to determine fixed infrastructure and operating costs for the operation of a trial ferry service between Queensborough and the downtown and report back to council on the feasibility of the service. It’s also recommended that staff explore alternative long-range pedestrian and bicycle options between the Quayside and Queensborough neigh-

bourhoods.

The staff report proposes that the trial ferry project would charge a nominal fare and last six months, during which time statistics would be collected on the usage of the service, residency of the passengers, purpose and destination of riders’ trips and frequency of their use of the services.

City Julian steps down from House Leader post Tereza Verenca

tverenca@newwestrecord.ca

The MP for New Westminster-Burnaby announced Wednesday he’s stepping down as the NDP House Leader so he can decide whether to run for the party’s leadership next year.

In an exclusive interview with the Record, Peter Julian said he is “seri-

ously considering it” and that constituents from both communities have encouraged him to go for it.

“That’s wonderful. I feel very honoured that they feel I have the ability to do that,” he said. “But I need to speak with hundreds and hundreds of people to really be able to ascertain where people are coming from. … About the direction of

our party and how they feel about the direction of the country.”

Julian, who’s held his seat for 12 years, said he wanted to step down as House Leader (a position he’s had for the last two-and-a-half years) to show people he’s taking the decision seriously.

“I know a lot of people will be approaching me. It does send a signal out there

that these conversations have started.There will be people coming to me on the street, people sending me emails, people phoning the office.”

He added he hasn’t set a deadline for his decision.

“It’s not going to be an immediate decision, that’s for sure,” he said.

The NDP leadership election will be held some-

time next October as a result of incumbent Tom Mulcair being rejected by the party in April.

Six months after the NDP lost the federal election, coming in third place behind the Liberals and Conservatives, Mulcair was ousted as party leader after he received only 48 per cent support at the NDP national convention.

Students knock on doors for bandathon blitz Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

If some teenagers come knocking on your door tonight, please answer.

It’ll be the New Westminster Secondary School music department out collecting donations for the school’s annual Fan-OfThe-Bandathon fundraiser blitz.

Students and parents will be knocking on doors between 6 and 8 p.m. tonight (Thursday, Oct. 20).

The Fan-Of-The-Bandathon is set for Saturday, Nov. 5, and it will bring students of all ages – from grades 9 through 12 – together to play music for 12 hours.

“Older and younger students inspire each other by playing alongside each other all day,” explains a press release.

The music department hopes to raise $14,000 to help students participate in spring tours.The senior choirs will be travelling to the Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff in April 2017, while senior concert and jazz bands are participating in an exchange to Ottawa in March 2017 (and hosting a return visit from their partner school later in the spring). Junior bands will be heading to Sun Peaks for the Con Brio Music Festival.

Money raised will also help the department purchase string instruments for the growing string ensemble, plus a baritone saxophone (valued at $3,500) and an acoustic bass (valued at $1,500) that will be shared by students.

Other money will help students with financial need participate in a variety of music activities.

Be sure to lend a hand if you can. Music has the power to change lives for the better – and NWSS has been doing just that for many, many years.

BEYOND THE WHEEL The New Westminster Museum is reaching out with a film screening in connection with its ongoing exhibition Ornamenting the Ordinary: Crafts of South Asia.

The screening will also include a panel discussion looking at how the ideas presented in the film may apply to New Westminster.

‘Rent bank’ could help city residents at risk Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Royal City residents at risk of being evicted because they’re short on money to pay their rent may soon have a place to go.

New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy and her constituency office staff have been working on the idea of creating a rent bank in New Westminster for more than a year-and-a-half. Since January 2015, they’ve been meeting with stakeholders and seeking financial contributions toward an endowment fund.

“It should be up and running within months, which is really, really good news,” she said. “This can prevent homelessness.”

While Darcy would like to see a full housing strategy in the province, she said a rent bank is an important piece of the puzzle that will help people who are facing eviction.

“If you prevent homelessness, you prevent that downward spiral that is really, really hard for people to get out of,” she said. “There are a lot of people who are one paycheque away from being homeless.”

Darcy said there are many reasons why renters need help paying their rent, including people who are switching jobs but haven’t yet started their new job, people who are waiting for Employment Insurance,WorkSafeBC or disability cheques, and people who are fleeing domestic violence and need funds to help them re-establish themselves.

“We have a lot of renters in New Westminster, the

highest percentage in the Lower Mainland, so there are a number of people for whom this can really be a lifesaver,” she said.

Darcy’s office has secured contributions totalling $35,000 from organizations including Vancity, Community Savings Credit Union, Coast Capital Credit Union, G&F Financial Group, Greater Vancouver Community Credit Union and Westminster Savings Credit Union.

On Monday, New Westminster city council endorsed the establishment of a rent bank program in

If you prevent homelessness, you prevent that downward spiral

principle and directed staff to continue working with community partners on the program. Council also supported contributing $20,000 annually for three years to cover the administrative costs associated with operating a rent bank, with these funds coming from the city’s housing reserve fund.

Having secured funding to start a rent bank and having received the city’s support to cover administrative costs for three years, Darcy said work can get underway to get the rent bank up and running.

“Now there will be a process for community agencies to submit or indicate they are interested in running it.The whole idea is

to have this embedded in a community agency that already gives supports to people, so that when someone applies for assistance from the rent bank, that community agency is already in a position to say we have these other ways to support you.Whether they are eligible for the rent bank or not, there are other ways that community agency would be able to support them,” Darcy said. “There are several community agencies that have indicated interest.”

The average loan amounts for rent bank programs in B.C. were between $700 and $900, stated a report to council by senior social planner John Stark.

According to the staff report, New Westminster had 13,375 renter households in 2011, with 5,870 (43.9 per cent) spending 30 per cent or more of their before-tax housing income on housing costs. In October 2015, the city’s vacancy rate was 0.9 per cent and the median monthly rent was $1,128 for a two-bedroom rental unit.

Mayor Jonathan Cote commended Darcy and her office for spearheading the issue and bringing community partners onboard.

“It’s such a huge issue, not only in New Westminster but (in) the region, in terms of housing affordability. I think it’s an important tool for us to be looking at,” he said. “Sometimes dealing with the housing issue earlier on, and in this case potentially preventing homelessness, can be a lot more efficient, compassionate and effective way of dealing with housing challenges.”

Hyack Ambassadors gear up for a new season Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The 2017 New Westminster Hyack Ambassador Leadership program is in full swing.

The 2016 team welcomed the 2017 Hyack Ambassador candidates at a recent meet-and-greet evening at Thornebridge Gardens, where the new candidates were introduced to their sponsoring community organizations and local businesses.The mandate of the program is: Be a Hyack Ambassador and develop your best SELF through Service, Education, Leadership and Fun. The 2017 Hyack Ambassador candidates are: Grace Flaman (sponsored by Royal City Rotary); Maddie Lemieux (Save-OnFoods New West); Kiara Ferris (NW Firefighters Charitable Society, IAFF 256); Lauren Vanags (Key West Ford); Tina Lemieux (Westland Insurance); and Kiara Dale (Team Dave

Vallee.)

The candidates are embarking on a six-month leadership training and mentoring program from business professionals within Telus, RCMP,Toastmasters,Tourism New Westminster, Kal Tire, G & F Financial, Red Tiger Martial Arts, Sense of History and more.The Evening of Stars gala, which features awards and recognition and the installation of the 2017 Hyack Ambassador leadership team, takes place on Feb. 18, 2017.

Local citizens are invited to meet and support the program at the upcoming November Vintage Craft Fair at Holy Trinity Cathedral Hall (514 Carnarvon St.) on Nov. 5. Funds raised at the fair will be used to assist with program expenses and the post-secondary scholarship fund.

ELECTION REMINDER New Westminster school trustee Jonina Campbell surprised some folks around town when she announced last week that she plans to

seek the B.C. Green Party nomination in New West for the next provincial election.

If her announcement has you wondering how the Greens did in the May 2013 election, here’s how the local candidates fared on the last election day. NDP candidate Judy Darcy topped the polls with 13,170 votes, followed by Liberal Hector Bremner at 8,997 and Green Terry Teather at 2,252.Trailing behind were Conservative Paul Forseth with 1,318 votes, independent James Crosty with 1,038 and Libertarian Lewis Dahlby with 190 votes.

WALKING THE WALK Some Douglas College students recently toured New West alongside Mayor Jonathan Cote to investigate ongoing initiatives that will improve their urban environment.

Students are researching environmental and social issues facing the city, including waterfront revitalization plans, sober houses and congestion issues, as part of a 13-week interactive writ-

ing course. Following the Oct. 7 tour, the students had a chance to question Cote about the issues.

“One of our course units focuses on the role and importance of public spaces in a community. Since this is one of the mayor’s areas of expertise, he seemed a natural fit.We are immensely fortunate that he has volunteered to lead students on this walking tour,” said Douglas College instructor Jasmine Nicholsfigueiredo in a press release. “It’s an incredible opportunity. Students might very well learn to see their surroundings in unexpected ways.”

This venture is just one of many ways Douglas College students get active within their own cities.

Throughout the term, students will participate in a variety of collaborative sessions with New Westminster’s chief administrative officer, as well as Frank Cunningham from the University of Toronto’s Innis College, and Nicholsfigueiredo, who will guide them in researching public life

and public streets.

“Douglas College students are a significant part of our community and as the city plans for the future, their engagement in our cities future is important,” said Cote, who looked forward to showing students where the city’s focus is going to be in the coming years and allowing them to better understand the urban challenges and opportunities faced in New Westminster.

Knitters invited to take part in Remembrance Day project Theresa McManus

We keep making those poppies and putting them together to make it bigger

New Westminster knitters are invited to lend a hand in a community art project for Remembrance Day. The red poppy, a symbol of soldiers who have died and fought in armed conflicts around the world, will be the focal point of an art project.The group is collecting handmade, knitted or crocheted poppies for a large art installation meant to honour all Canadians who have experienced the horrors of war.

“We are hoping to make a large blanket, covered with handmade red poppies, to be displayed in a prominent public place and to be a focal point of remembrance,” said a press release about The Poppy Project. “In contrast to professionally commissioned artworks, this piece will be created and put together by regular Canadian citizens and will incorporate messages from their hearts.”

Reena Meijer Drees, who learned to knit from her grandmother when she was 10, is part of a knitting circle that meets weekly. Along with creating a poppy blanket, she said the plan is to create a memory book to accompany the blanket.

“We are hoping to have a memory book so people can dedicate their poppy.We will collect those little pieces of text and put them in a book with some photos of the end project,” she told the Record. “Our dream is to have

it displayed in Anvil Centre.

People could walk by and leaf through the book and look at the blanket.”

The group may not have enough poppies to complete the project in time for Remembrance Day 2016 but will continue collecting poppies until enough have been made for the project.

“It will be ongoing if it doesn’t happen this year.We keep making those poppies and putting them together to make it bigger,” she said.

“Right now we have about 25 poppies.We need hundreds.”

Organizers estimate it takes about 10 poppies to cover a square foot, which means 500 poppies would create a five- by 10-foot blanket.The size of the final product depends on the number of poppies donated toward the community art project.

Earlier this year, three Australians joined forces to honour their father’s service in the Second World War.The project blossomed and resulted in an installation of more than 300,000 handmade poppies that was first installed in Melbourne, Australia before making an appearance at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, England in May 2016.

Brenden Kennedy may never recoup the cost of replacing all of his home’s windows, but it’s hard to put a price on comfort.

Kennedy recently completed a year’s worth of projects aimed at improving the energy efficiency of his 1924 home in the Moody Park neighbourhood.

“The investment was really in our comfort,” he said.

“Yes, we are seeing some savings, and as the cost of energy continues to rise we will benefit even further.”

Comfort was the main motivator for retrofitting the family-of-five’s home.

“It was a bit draughty.We used to have to crank the heat the whole time,” Kennedy said. “There were varying temperatures within the house from room to room.”

Kennedy’s wife, Chantelle, was always cold. One of his stepson’s rooms was so chilly he’d wear fleece pajamas, have multiple blankets on the bed and the

Community Want to save energy? Homeowners can get rebates Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Energy Save New West is offering up to $4,500 in home rebates for residents wanting to improve their home’s energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Energy Save New West, a community energy program, provides local homeowners and businesses with access to energy evaluations, upgrades, utility rebates and incentives. Funding and in-

centives are provided by the City of New Westminster, Fortis B.C. and B.C. Hydro.

Energy Save New West provides $75 energy evaluations, which will help homeowners get a better understanding of their home’s energy use and get a custom report that helps them decide what home improvements they’d like to make.

Homeowners who install three or more qualifying measures (such as insulation, windows and doors, space heating, heat recov-

ery ventilation and domestic hot water) could qualify for a $1,250 bonus.

Ryan Coleman, program coordinator of Energy Save New West, said the energy assessment is the lowest in the Lower Mainland – and maybe the province. He noted the bonus has been topped up to $1,250, compared to about $750 in other communities.

“The City of New Westminster is proud of the beneficial impact Energy Save New West is hav-

We’re pleased to be able to help homeowners ing in the local community.We’re pleased to be able to help local homeowners with access to a variety of rebates and incentives for upgrades designed to keep energy costs low and improve comfort,” he said. “If you are in a single-detached

home, duplex or townhome and planning a renovation, we’re hoping that story’s like Brenden’s (see story page 27) will motivate you to take advantage of current incentives that are available, like our exclusive $500 top-up bonus when installing three or more qualifying energy measures like draft proofing, insulation and heating systems.Together with the $750 HERO bonus, this makes the total top-up incentive $1,250.”

What can you save?

Here are some examples of rebates available for residential homes: ! Up to $1,200 in rebates for insulation; ! Up to $800 in rebates for space heating; ! Up to $1,000 in rebates for water heating; and ! Up to $500 in rebates for air sealing.

Windows, insulation helped make home more livable Continued from page 27 of heat and there’s a lot of air coming through.”

After having an energy assessment done on the home in February 2014, Kennedy took advantage of support offered by the city and various rebates to make a number of changes aimed at “tightening up the house” – with the goal of increasing its comfort and energy per-

formance.

“We had insulation blown into the walls on the main and upper floors,” he said.

“Previously, most of those walls were dead empty. In the old days they used to stuff it with newspaper or sawdust – nothing.”

The work also included putting caulking around windows, baseboards and fittings that led to outside,

We feel a significant difference in the home such as dryer vents or pipes or cables coming into the house.Weather-stripping

seals were placed on all the home’s doors.

“We also replaced windows, which was a very expensive task,” Kennedy said.

“We replaced all but three stained glass windows.That was a significant difference right there.The windows feel much better.With the other ones you could see the daylight through the gaps in the windows.”

In addition to replacing 23 single-paned windows with new Energy Star windows, Kennedy installed one new low-flow toilet and two Energy Star bathroom fans. Insulation upgrades resulted in a 19 per cent increase in air tightness.

Kennedy encourages homeowners to do their homework and take advantage of information and re-

bates available through the city.

“We feel a significant difference in the home,” he said. “I would say the main thing is around comfort in the home. It’s a more consistent temperature. It’s more consistent throughout the home.”

125 years of lighting up the city Unique history of city’s electrical department celebrated on Oct. 22

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Electrical Utility is charged up about its 125th anniversary and is inviting citizens to join the celebration.

The Light Department, founded on Jan. 2, 1891, is now known as the City of New Westminster Electrical Department.

The department, which considers itself B.C.’s best electrical utility, distributes electricity to 28,000 residential customers and 3,000 commercial/business customers.

“We are the oldest utility in B.C., certainly older than Hydro,” said Rod Carle, general manager of the city’s electrical utility. “We are 125 years old.”

The electric utility invites community members to attend an open house on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 2:30 to 4:30 at 905 First St. “New West substation was rebuilt over the last twoand-a-half years.We had road closures and stuff out front,” Carle noted. “We thought it’s a chance for us to invite the public in to our operations and see what really goes on.”

The public will get a chance to enjoy a barbecue and birthday cake, check out some of the electrical utility’s vehicles and equipment and a traffic display, view some historic memorabilia and take in an electrical safety demonstration.

In honour of the anniversary, the parks department has created a special garden display at the entrance to Queen’s Park and the electrical department has created special banners that adorn poles near the work yard.

“I wanted two different ones. One representing the

distribution side and the other one representing the services side,” Carle said.

“We are split up into those two major departments – electrical services that does all the street lighting, all the traffic lights and all of the maintenance repairs at all of the city facilities. Distribution is all the feeders and stuff that feed the city.”

Carle is also collaborating with former city planner Stephen Scheving on a book about the department, The Lights in the City, which is expected to be published in Continued on page 33

Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

As world weather patterns change and we find ourselves watching and enduring storms like the one last week, past weather has become a popular topic of conversation.

Locally, many people refer to Typhoon Freda in the early 1960s and the damage and deaths it caused. Others refer to snowfalls in the 1990s, the 1980s, and for a lot of folks, the early 1950s had some winters with extreme snow levels. Rain, wind, fog, snow, frosty and icy conditions, and recent extremely dry summers all seem to inspire memories of weather.

Looking back locally to the early decades of the 1900s, there are examples of snowfalls that led to the collapse of sizable structures, the curtailing of transit systems and many other hardships.Today we can “see” weather events online or on television in broad patches of bright colours, sometimes swirling, sometimes static, always intriguing.

In 1899, New Westminster and other spots in the Lower Mainland were completely taken off guard by what was referred to in the

press as “The Cloud Burst.”

The subheading summarized what took place here on Monday, Nov. 27, 1899: “Phenomenal rainfall accompanied by wind and hail yesterday, surprisingly little damage done.”

Apparently everything was quite all right in the city until mid-afternoon when “shortly after 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon without very much warning, the town was treated to a veritable cloud burst. For a time it was scarcely possible to see across the streets for the blinding sheets of rain.”

The inability of eavestroughs to cope, particularly on some flat-roofed new

business blocks, set up a situation where “perfect waterfalls descended from all” such buildings.The major culvert that ran under Columbia Street, draining the deep gully,Wintemute’s ravine, between Fourth Street and Church Street, was the scene of a potentially dangerous situation.

Other damage in town from this cloudburst was to the fire hall roof and windows, terraced ground at Dr. Drew’s house on Sixth Street, the city’s arc street lights, flooded buildings, and so on. All of this from a cloudburst of a matter of minutes. A short time later, there was a “bright sunset.”

Mahogany at Mill Lake

Fuses Urban and Rural Living W

hen Sandy’s husband Bob Blue retired, both felt their 4,500-square-foot home was way too big for the two of them. They decided to give condominium living a chance.

“We sold our house three years ago and bought a condo in a low-rise,” says Sandy Blue. “We found we really enjoy condo living.”

However, when the couple heard about Mahogany at Mill Lake in Abbotsford, they knew they wanted to live there.

“We loved that it was located by Mill Lake and that we would have amazing views,” she adds.

Soon after, they purchased a twobedroom residence on the 16th floor.

“We are so excited … our entire suite has floor-to-ceiling windows and we have

incredible views of Mount Baker,” she says.

“Mill Lake is a jewel right in the city. Not only are we next to a large lake, we are surrounded by protected green space.”

Blue’s comments are echoed over and over again by buyers, says Karen Gallant, sales manager at Mahogany at Mill Lake.

“With prices starting from $284,900, Mahogany is selling extremely well,” says Gallant. “We have already sold nearly 75 per cent of the suites. What buyers tell us is they love the views and the amenities we offer.”

Quantum Properties’ Mahogany at Mill Lake is a sleek, contemporary 26-storey concrete high rise offering a collection of 152 condominiums, ranging from 620 to 1,535 square feet. (Three-level penthouses boast more than 2,800 square feet.)

“We are going to have three floors of commercial space. It will include a bistro, great to meet up with friends over coffee or pick up a quick dinner-to-go,” says Gallant.

With views of Mill Lake to the North East and Mount Baker to the South East, each residence delivers pano-ramas. With floorto-ceiling windows and generous decks and terraces, residents can enjoy their coffee while taking in the vistas.

Each home will feature nine-foot ceilings, Canadian-made engineered hardwood flooring, natural gas fireplaces, KitchenAid appliance package and quartz or granite countertops.

“Fourth-floor homes will have large terrace decks with built-in barbecues, planters and fireplaces,” says Gallant.

Residents will also enjoy private

amenities, including an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness studio with changing rooms and showers, two guest suites and a club room with full kitchen. In addition, for the handyman, there will be a workshop in the parkade.

In an effort to be as sustainable as possible, Mahogany is equipped with geothermal heating and cooling, energy efficient windows, LED lighting and other environmentally friendly features.

Mahogany offers plenty of conveniences, including transit, schools, great shops and restaurants, all within easy walking or driving distance. “You can walk to both Sevenoaks Shopping Centre and West Oak Mall,” Gallant adds.

Quantum Properties is a locally owned and family-run company with more than 15 years of building quality condominium projects.

Sports Role of a lifetime for Hewitt NewWestminster native an emergency call-up for Canucks Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

His University of B.C.Thunderbirds’ info page notes he can juggle and ride a unicycle.

The updated page could now say Matt Hewitt was also a member of the Vancouver Canucks.

The UBC goalie found himself in the spotlight Tuesday, on the bench wearing Canuck colours and with a real possibility of making his NHL debut after Ryan Miller called in sick prior to the game against St. Louis – a game Vancouver won 2-1 in overtime.

“I was just ecstatic to be part of the team and be there,” Hewitt told the Record on Wednesday. “Ever since I got the call (from UBC head coach Sven Butenchon) my heart was racing a mile a minute.”

The call came late Tuesday morning when it was apparent Miller was unable to play or even dress. UBC, which serves as a back-up practice rink for the NHL team, is also their go-to place for emergency netminders.

“I’ve skated with them in practice (before) and had some experience with the team that way, and they were so awesome (Tuesday),” said Hewitt. “They made me feel part of the team...They had no trouble chirping me and I chirped back.”

Hewitt, a New Westminster native and minor hockey product who is the T-birds starter, was ready for anything – butterflies and all.

Most of his family were in attendance, along with numerous friends as he took the opening warmup.When the anthem singer’s microphone cut out and the crowd stepped up to finish Oh Canada, Hewitt said it seemed surreal.

“It just added to the whole experience, having the fans do that, then sitting in the best seat on the bench,” Hewitt noted.

The 23-year-old former Regina Pats netminder is in his fourth year at UBC, majoring in sociology.

As a sophomore in Regina, he posted his best season with a 2.76 goals against average over 60 games. After his final year, Hewitt was given the Rick Rypien Memorial Award as the team’s unsung hero and the Bill Hicke Award as its most popular player.

It’s hard to top being on an NHL team – even for just a day.

“It was just an amazing buildup to the whole thing,” he added. “I’ve gotten a lot of texts and messages...

I’m still kind of flying high, and I think that will last for a while.”

Momentous win for hungry Hyacks NewWestminster rebounds from first league loss by upendingVancouver College Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Putting their first loss behind them, the New Westminster Hyacks also crossed off something big on their to-do list.

The senior AAA football squad got back in the win column Friday, with a 13-10 victory over the Vancouver College Fighting Irish.

The win was not only the program’s second of the regular season, but also first-ever win over VC since the Hyack program was

relaunched 13 years ago.

The No. 3-ranked Fighting Irish presented an interesting challenge, but New West demonstrated how a bye week and a motivated crew can provide an edge.

“I was aware that we’d never beaten them (at seniors) but every year is a different year and with different players,” noted Grade 10 quarterback Kinsale Philip. “We had two weeks to prepare and every day we worked, worked on what we needed to do, and did it.”

Philip put New West on the

scoreboard first with a one-yard QB keep after a lengthy, 15-play opening drive covering 70 yards.

The visitors tied it before the half, then took the lead on a 24yard field goal.

Bolstered by a defence that held Vancouver in check despite 238 yards rushing from its prime running back, the Hyacks pulled the game-winning major on a 30-yard passing play with six minutes remaining in the game.

Philip hit tight end Prento Durigon for the decisive touch-

down, and the defence stood its ground the rest of the way.

“I was really confident going into the fourth, I knew what we could do,” said Philip. “(VC) fell pretty hard for a fake and we made the play.”

Head coach Farhan Lalji said Philip displayed plenty of poise on the game-winning toss.

“The TD pass he threw to (Durigon) was a ‘Big Boy’ throw with mulitple defenders in his face,” said Lalji.

Royals lock up first with weekend sweep

Flexing more playoff-like form, the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team did this past weekend what didn’t seem likely a month ago.

The defending league champions racked up two more wins and clinched first place in the PacWest circuit.

By dominating Vancouver Island 3-0 on Saturday and edging Quest 3-2 on Sunday, the Royals also hammered home the fact that any struggles or questions that may have circulated in September have been answered.

The victory over visiting VIU avenged an earlier loss, and provided the squad with a win

over the last holdout among league rivals.

Mikayla Hamilton gave Douglas the lead at the nine minute mark on a set-up from Andrea Perrotta, and added a second marker midway through the second half.With 10 minutes left in the game, Michelle Wessa added an insurance goal to cool VIU’s rally jets.

A day later, it was Perrotta’s turn to shake the twine, as the second-year midfielder notched a hat trick in the Royals 3-2 win over Quest. She netted two goals in the first half, including one off a penalty kick, then added the game-winner early in the second half.

For her efforts, Perrotta was named the Pac-

West’s Female Soccer Athlete of the Week. She currently leads the circuit with eight goals in 11 games, while Hamilton sits second in the scoring race with seven markers.

It’s been quite a turn-around for Douglas, which survived a tepid 1-2-3 September and has been unbeatable in October, winning all five games.They’ve outscored the competition 15-3 in that span.

As playoffs approach, the Royals appear ready to defend its first provincial title next month in Burnaby.

The Royals wrap up the regular season on Sunday when they host the Capilano Blues.

Continued from page 40 Defensively, Connor Pattison corralled a game-high eight tackles, while Andrew Delamere and Sammy Sidhu accumulated seven tackles each. Finn Stark blocked a 45-yard field goal attempt to preserve the win.

They now turn their focus to Friday’s key

matchup against top-seeded Mount Douglas, 5 p.m. kickoff, at Mercer Stadium.

“They’re ranked No. 1 team in the province but it doesn’t matter,” noted New West’s quarterback. “We know we can win, that we can come back. It’s always part of our spirit, that there’s no deficit we can’t overcome.”

“MORREY INFINITI SERVICE”

They just needed one drive to get it done.

The Royal City peewee Hyacks knocked off the North Shore Panthers 7-0 last week, with Callum Rogers touchdown proving to be the only score of the game.

The game was a true defensive battle, with big efforts supplied by Kushaal Aujla, Liam Nokes and Iija Scow. Racking up key QB sacks were Jaxson Domville and Karrson MacCuaig.

ATOM In a game highlighted by big runs, the Royal City atom Hyacks blazed a path to the end zone in a resounding 49-12 victory over Richmond.

Benicio Hageleit scored three touchdowns and Nathan Hillmann counted a pair, including one on a punt return, to lead the attack.

Cashing in his first-ever touchdown was Daniel Penalver, while quarterback Lukas Lalji also scored.

FLAG Royal City Orange brought the ‘crush’ in a polished 25-6 win over Team Silver. Scampering 50 yards into the endzone was Christhony Dela Cruz, while Gavin Domaas scored a pair of majors. Jacob Armstrong counted six points on a timely interception.

James Contini delivered a solid effort on defence.

For Team Silver, Ethan Dunbar ran for a touchdown, while Dakota Hankins was a standout on defence.

Royal City Black fell 13-0 to North Surrey. Putting in solid efforst were Jayden Dhinjal and JJ Pagaduan, who made major runs, while Jai-shon Llewellyn and Raaweya Maghera were defensive standouts.

THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND SEE PAGE 15

N E W S P A P E R

Dear readers The Record is proud to have been an integral part of this community for more than 35 years.

A great deal has changed in New Westminster since the first edition of the Record was published in 1981, and since then there have been significant shifts in the media landscape, particularly in the last decade or so.

Throughout it all the Record has been a constant – a hub that not only informs the community but keeps it connected as well. Whether you are a longtime resident of the Royal City or a newcomer to the thriving city that is New West, we’re here for you – to let you know what your friends and neighbours are doing, to keep you informed of developments and changes in the city, to follow the local sports and arts scenes, to provide a voice and a place for businesses to introduce themselves to their customers.

It is a position of great responsibility and also one that is a great honour and a privilege. The motto on our front page – Local news, local matters – is more than a slogan to us at the Record; it is a heartfelt mission.

The relationship this newspaper has with the people of New Westminster goes far deeper than serving as a simple news source. We share your successes, your struggles, your stories, and your input has helped to make the Record a better newspaper and a better community partner.

Times are changing and the business model that has sustained this newspaper for many years must also adapt to ensure the Record is a sustainable enterprise which will continue to serve our readers and advertisers.

To that end we are introducing the Record’s voluntary subscription program.

A voluntary payment of $5 per month, or $50 for the year, will allow us to maintain door-to-door delivery, which is an increasingly expensive undertaking and a major cost for any newspaper. Let me be clear that participation in our subscription program is strictly voluntary: all New Westminster households will continue to receive the Record at their doorsteps.

Subscribers will be recognized for their support every month with deals at local merchants, prize draws and more. The first month offers discounts at Wild Rice, Donald’s Market, McDonalds, Key West Ford, Tiffany’s Grooming, Waves, and Kaltire that have a total value over $50. Coupons will be emailed to subscribers each month. In addition, the first 500 subscribers will be entered in a draw to win a $500 gift certificate from Landmark Cinemas in New Westminster.

We hope you see the value the Record provides to both the community and to your everyday lives, and that you will take us up on this offer. We believe receiving the Record is worth the cost of latte or loaf of bread, and we hope you do as well.

To subscribe, please visit subscription.newwestrecord.ca (no www.) or call our office at 604.444.3451. We look forward to your support and to continue serving the people of New Westminster well into the future.

Sincerely:

Alvin Brouwer Alvin Brouwer Publisher The New Westminster Record
