Y O U R #THROWBACK TO THE 1980S How old were you in the 1980s? Were you even born then? In today’s paper we celebrate the Record’s 35th birthday with a look back at the ’80s in New Westminster. What was it like back in the Royal City in the ’80s? A pastoral suburb? A party town that boasted the most bar seats in the Lower Mainland? Remember this was well before cellphones – when social media meant everyone cramming into a phone booth downtown to call a friend. And computers – well, Apple came out with its first version in 1976, but it would be several more years before they became affordable for even computer nerds.The internet – or World Wide Web – as it was first called, had just started and consisted mainly of hypertext-linked documents. Who would have predicted what the ’80s and then ’90s would bring? We sure didn’t. Step back in time with us to the days when big eyeglasses, big hair and very big headlines in our paper were all the rage. Our special section starts on page 23 of today’s paper.

A New Westminster school trustee is calling on the provincial government to hold byelections in two districts currently without an elected school board. The Vancouver and North Okanagan-Shuswap school boards were dismissed by the provincial government in October and June respectively, an act the Ministry of Education is permitted to do under the School Act. Both boards have been replaced with public administrators, but Slade-Kerr fears the decisions could impact education in the affected communities. At Tuesday’s school board meeting, Slade-Kerr put forward a motion urging her fellow trustees to join her in writing to Education Minister Mike Bernier to ensure “democratically and locally elected boards are in place on or
before May, 30, 2017.” “It’s of great concern to me because of the role that locally elected boards play in ensuring the values of the community are reflected in the decisions being made by the board,” SladeKerr said, adding replacing an elected school board with a public administrator is not in line with the principles of democracy. The appointed public administrators will be in place in Vancouver and North Okanagan-Shuswap for a term of at least 12 months, according to the Ministry of Education, but that is far too long in Slade-Kerr’s opinion. When asked whether she thought a public letter to Bernier may jeopardize the district’s capital projects that are still awaiting funding, Slade-Kerr said her intention was not to enter a partisan debate. “I’m not worried at all.

Got an opinion on the Brunette bottleneck?
Check out future plans and speak up on Nov. 3 By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
If you want to get a look at plans for the future Brunette interchange, you’ll have to get out and attend an upcoming open house.
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is seeking public input into the future Brunette interchange on Highway 1, a key link between New Westminster and Coquitlam. “Improving the Brunette
overpass is critical for moving people and goods in this area and for emergency vehicles trying to get to and from Royal Columbian Hospital,” states the province’s website. “Currently, this interchange is often
a bottleneck on the Highway 1 corridor, especially at peak times.The B.C. government is looking at options to unclog the bottleneck and get traffic moving again.” Three design options for the future interchange will be presented at upcoming

Richard McBride waits Darcy: Priority number one is
Seismically unsafe school is top priority for school district By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
It’s the Royal City’s oldest operating school and yet, it’s unknown when the Ministry of Education will provide funding for a new Richard McBride Elementary School. Richard McBride Elementary School was built in 1929 after a fire destroyed the original building earlier that same year.The 87-yearold classroom blocks and gymnasium were deemed high risk of structural failure during an earthquake.With seismic upgrades underway at F.W. Howay and a replacement for New Westminster Secondary School in the works, the Richard McBride project is now the
district’s number 1 priority in its capital plan. “We have asked for a replacement,” said Pat Duncan, superintendent for the New Westminster school
... it’s really all up to the ministry district in an interview last month. “We’ve attempted to create a case to demonstrate (the need for) a replacement but that’s really way out of our hands, it’s really all up to the ministry.” Initially, the district felt the best way to proceed was with an upgrade to the aging school estimated to cost
about $18 million, but after further review by district staff it was decided a replacement would be more cost efficient. “We believe the cost to do a seismic upgrade is so close in costs that why not just give us a brand new school,” Duncan said, adding the district would build a new McBride on the existing site, so no new land would be needed. Richard McBride is currently one of 42 seismic projects across the province under review by the Ministry of Education.The project was forwarded to the ministry earlier this fall along with New Westminster’s entire five-year capital plan.

defeating Christy Clark gov’t
By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
As the next provincial election gets closer, New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy said she’s focusing her efforts on issues raised by local constituents. The next provincial election is set for May 9, 2017. School board trustee Jonina Campbell was recently confirmed as the Green party candidate in New Westminster. “I am surprised, but people make their own political choices and their own political decisions,” Darcy told the Record. “I am just really focused on what I hear from residents in New Westminster every day, and that is if we are going to get
changes in investment in public education, if we are going to get a real affordable housing strategy, if we are going to get real action on climate change and reduce wait lists in health care then we need to defeat the Christy Clark government. That’s going to take electing the NDP to do that. That’s what I hear from people in New Westminster about their priorities, and that’s what I’m focused on.” Darcy was elected as New Westminster’s MLA in the 2013 provincial election. Some locals have speculated she’ll have some stiff competition now that she’ll be up against a high-profile candidate in Campbell. “That’s up to the voters to decide,” she said. “I
continue to be focused on the issues that matter, that people tell me that matter most to them in New Westminster. I hear from more people every day that they think our priority is defeating the Christy Clark government if we are going to have any real change in this province.” The B.C. Liberals haven’t selected a candidate for the New Westminster riding. Darcy topped the polls in the May 2013 election with 13,170 votes, followed by: Liberal Hector Bremner 8,997; Green Terry Teather - 2,252; Conservative Paul Forseth - 1,318 votes; independent James Crosty – 1,038; and Libertarian Lewis Dahlby – 190 votes.

City Child porn charges laid
A 44-year-old man is facing charges connected to child pornography following an investigation by the New Westminster Police Department. The accused is charged with importing and/or distributing child pornography; possession of child pornography; and accessing child
pornography, according to court documents. The investigation began earlier this year, when major crime detectives at the New West Police Department were contacted by officers with the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit of B.C. regarding images of child sexual abuse, noted a
press release from police. Following what police describe as an “extensive” investigation, the detectives arrested Qi Xie (also known as Simon Xie) on Sept. 22. Charges were approved on Oct. 3. Xie was released on bail with strict conditions.
Motion is ‘non-partisan’ Continued from page 1 I’ve been very careful to keep this as non-partisan as possible and focus merely on the issue of governance at a local level. I’m not commenting … on the reasons for the dismissals of those boards, I just think it’s im-
portant that we do have locally elected boards in power at all times,” she said. No decision was made at Tuesday’s school board meeting regarding SladeKerr’s motion, instead, the board opted to move the decision to their November
meeting. “As an advocate, what we can do is make our views as a board known to the government and the government theoretically takes those views into account when making their decisions,” Slade-Kerr said.
No announcement till spring
Continued from page 3 According to the Ministry of Education, it is working with the school district to “prioritize and plan capital investments,” and the McBride project is being reviewed along with the dis-
trict’s entire five-year capital plan. The Record asked when parents could expect a funding announcement regarding the McBride project. “Once the ministry’s bud-
get is approved next spring, we will notify school districts about which priority projects have funding and what the next steps are,” read a statement from the education ministry.

Opinion OUR VIEW
No surprise – but still a big letdown Perhaps it always was a dream that was unrealistic. Perhaps we just wanted so hard to believe it would happen that we didn’t want to look too closely at the plan. We speak of the Q2Q pedestrian access bridge that had been promised for Queensborough. A bridge that would connect New Westminster’s mainland waterfront with the island community of Queensbor-
ough. But it never really made sense that a bridge over the Fraser River could ever be built for $20 million. The location would require footings, and similar bridges that it was compared to in other countries always looked like they were shorter spans with much less challenging terrain. So it shouldn’t have been a surprise that an updated and much more detailed
estimate would place the bridge project at close to $40 million. But it was still a big letdown. There are many residents who bought homes in Port Royal with the understanding that the bridge was a done deal – it was just a matter of time before it was built.They had visions of walking to work or to the River Market, or cycling with the family across
it on summer days. And some folks on the other side of the river also anticipated a new link to another community. (Although there were many who were not keen on the idea, or potential placements for access to the bridge.) Some folks are looking at who to blame for the failure to build the bridge. Well, the buck stops at city council. New Westminster’s elect-
ed leaders know that they had created a pretty long wish list of expensive infrastructure projects in the city. And it doesn’t take a political scientist to figure out that Queensborough’s project would be low on the priority list. In fact, you just have to drive down Ewen Avenue to know that Queensborough often gets the short end of the stick. This is not to say city council is pleased with hav-
ing to let go of the plan. In fact, they will be quick to remind us that it’s probably just delayed. City councillor Patrick Johnstone even wrote on Twitter: “Writing a blog about the Q2Q tonight, and now I’m all frustrated and conflicted and won’t sleep...” That’s probably how a lot of New Westminster residents feel about it.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
A tireless voice for B.C.’s youth
B.C. has enjoyed the services of a lot of independent Officers of the Legislature – Ombudsman, Privacy Commissioner, Auditor-General, etc. – but none have made their mark quite like the one who leaves her post this week. Mary-Ellen TurpelLafond is stepping aside as the Representative of Children andYouth after nearly a decade at the helm, and to say it’s been a rocky ride is putting it mildly. She has proved to be unflinching in her criticism of government and relentless in her demands for change to better improve the plight of children, particularly those in care of the government.Turpel-Lafond has clashed with cabinet ministers, front-line social workers, First Nations care agencies and retired deputy ministers over the years. Her tenacity is unquestioned, although some have questioned whether her often abrasive, confrontational approach was always effective. In fact, it has been argued whether much concrete progress was made in the past few months, as the relationship between her office and the Children and Family Development Ministry seemed to deteriorate badly in the wake of her harsh criticism of its handling of a child custody case. But even that does not detract from the fact that for almost 10 years, she held government’s feet to the fire in ways that produced change and highlighted gaps in the system. She produced
90 reports containing more than 200 recommendations, and close to three-quarters of them have been implemented. Still, for all her success, it begs the question of whether things have really improved. In fact, in her exit interview with me for Global B.C. recently, I asked her to assign a letter grade to the government’s performance when she first took office and one as she leaves the office. She says the government has gone from a “D” grade to a mere “C” one. She is not confident things will continue to improve in any significant way. A big problem, from her perspective, is a chronic lack of resources. “I do worry about the future.Will we have a public service in the future? There are offices that have been emergency staffed for decades and they have never taken steps to pay them appropriately, to recruit and retain. It is a drop in the bucket,” she said. When she started the job, there were about 10,000 kids in care, and now there are 7,000, but the number still needs to be much lower, she says – she would like to see that number down to 3,000. Indeed, the many problems that exist in the child welfare system seem so vast and often overwhelming, but they are undoubtedly fewer in number as a result of Turpel-Lafond’s work.

MP torn over riding New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Pauline Jewett said she would be “dreadfully torn” trying to pick which riding to run in if a proposed shuffling of federal electoral boundaries split her riding into New Westminster-Burnaby and Port Moody-Coquitlam.The changes, which added MPs to reflect population growth, eventually saw Dawn Black elected to the newly formed riding of New Westminster-Burnaby in 1988.

Think out of the box for a solution to a ’Borough crossing
Poll: Do you support plans for the towers on the waterfront?
Dear Editor Now that the Q2Q crossing has, sadly, been laid to rest for the long term, perhaps the city will look what could be done in the short term. Considering the proposed crossing was located at the tip of Port Royal and would primarily serve residents of that neighbourhood, is it possible to look at the bigger picture? With the potential for 22nd Street SkyTrain area to be developed, resources could be available to provide a much better option than a bridge that was envisioned over a decade ago. A new swath of land has recently been cleared of railway lines along Stewardson Way and is now a wide open path just below the sidewalk on the south side of the street. The route from the Quayside boardwalk to the Queensborough bridge is a scenic vista looking southwest over the Fraser River to the U.S.A. and Georgia Straight (albeit overlooking Kruger) that goes west to Queensborough Landing and east to Let your Port Royal. imagination Funding from DAC (casino expand on this funds) provides an opportunity for this pathway to be upgraded to the bridge with a natural buffer (cedars perhaps) to the north between the SkyTrain columns and Stewardson traffic. The Queensborough bridge bike/pedestrian lane could be improved (maybe even dropped below the bridge deck) with a upgraded departure area on the south side of the bridge leading to Queensborough Landing shopping, Port Royal greenway, the casino, Queensborough community and beyond. These improvements could also include better connections to the Central Valley Greenway leading to Vancouver (long overdue) with a crossing at Grimston Park. This would provide access to 22nd SkyTrain station with improved connectivity to the West End commercial and park areas along with Queensborough community centre. In addition, this would provide additional connectivity to New Westminster amenities like downtown, Quayside, Pier Park and Anvil Centre. This option may not be convenient for Port Royal residents (and putting a bridge at the tip of Lulu Island may not have been the ideal location to serve ‘all’ of Queensborough), but it provides a crossing that could well serve a much large population on both sides of the Fraser River. Let your imagination expand on this new opportunity and present ideas. Look at other ways to connect with Queensborough and New Westminster’s sure-to-emerge West End. Hold off until other options, resources or development are available for a specialized link like the Q2Q crossing? Perhaps the city should do some number crunching, prepare alternatives and start thinking out of the box. The way this is going, if you wait long enough the Fraser River silting may provide a natural walkway and we won’t even need a bridge. James Crosty, New Westminster
HAVING TROUBLE LOSING THOSE LAST 10 POUNDS?
Matt Brabbins I would like to contribute, but the “YES” option isn’t a simple yes. I don’t support going as high as we can. I support preserving the views of existing towers and the functionality of the riverfront. Both are best achieved with fewer, taller towers. I support the plan put before council. Carole Wylie No one is talking about the much increased traffic flow in and out, both vehicular and pedestrian. Just how is this going to happen with one narrow crossing over a set of very busy tracks? Has nothing been learned from the Victoria Hill traffic/parking fiasco? Tony Donnelly At least it’s being put into an area which has transit options and local services, unlike the monstrosity that was put up in Port Royal in Queensborough, where there is limited transit, limited road access and limited services. Brian Parnell No thank you. Too Tall.

City ponders ferry service for ’Borough alejandro alcantara The bridge would definitely be a better option, the ferry will depends on funding... and it is not guaranteed that a permanent solution or one that would work into the evening. City Hall should make the bridge happen, Queensborough needs a permanent connection with the mainland! Doug Cheng Nobody is going to pay for the ferry service. Therefore, the data on this will be not an accurate reflection of the number of people who want to use the crossing.

held in early December. “There’s no doubt that the Brunette interchange is a significant bottleneck and is one of our major transportation challenges in the City of New Westminster,” Cote said. “We are definitely taking the approach that this discussion provides an opportunity for us to create something that is better than the existing situation and help alleviate some of the transportation challenges we face here in New Westminster, but also on the Coquitlam side of things. “We are certainly very happy to be engaged in this discussion and hoping to find a solution, but we also want to caution that we need to protect community livability and the neighbourhoods that will be most impacted by this type of a transportation infrastructure project.”

New West singers on stage for Nylons’ farewell Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY
jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
Two young New Westminster performers will be taking to the stage when The Nylons’ farewell tour comes to North Vancouver. Emma Ciprian (a.k.a. Miss New Westminster) and Bronwyn Williams are part of the ShowStoppers performance group, which is joining The Nylons onstage for their farewell concert at Centennial Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 3. Now, if you haven’t already started singing The Lion Sleeps Tonight to yourself, allow me to enlighten you:The Nylons, for the uninitiated, are the Canadian a cappella sensations who have been touring the world for 35 years.Their hits have included such favourites as the above-mentioned Lion Sleeps Tonight, plus Silhouettes, Up The Ladder To the Roof, Kiss Him Goodbye and more. It’s fitting they’re being joined by ShowStoppers – a young, Glee-style troupe whose members have all taken part in the Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! Musical theatre summer program. “We are looking forward to the upcoming farewell shows,” said Nylons’ founding member Claude Morrison in a press release. “We are going to make the most of it. It will be a celebration, and we will go out with a bang.” The concert is set for 7:30 p.m., and tickets are $45.50 regular or $39.50 for students and seniors. Call 604-984-4484 to reserve.

The downtown centre is playing host to PHOTOGraphie 2016, a festival produced by the Professional Photographers of Canada, from Nov. 4 to 6. “Community members and B.C. youth, along with amateur and professional photographers, are invited to participate in this interactive event,” a press release says. The weekend includes a host of different photography-related workshops and sessions, plus a public gallery exhibition, a photography competition, an industry expo and a keynote speech by Nino Rakichevich, an advertising and fine art photographer based in Malibu, California.

KICK IN THE EYE Just in time for Halloween, New West-based band Kick in the Eye is back. The band has just released a four-song EP of original Halloween-themed songs. The band is the husbandand-wife duo of Donnie Lochrie (guitar, keys, vocals) and Marian Lochrie (bass, vocals), who have been releasing independent CDs since the mid-1990s. Their Halloween-themed EP, Zombie Attack, celebrates pulp fiction stories in song – with zombies (Zombie Attack), a bounty hunter (Bounty Killer Blues), an
alien invasion (Alien Invasion) and a murder (GraveyardWaltz) all making the cut. Their indie rock/alt-country sound has been described as “the Ronettes meet the Rolling Stones,” and they draw influences from artists as diverse as the Rheostatics, Sloan, Neil Young and Stompin’Tom. Check it out at www. kickintheeye.ca or find them at kickintheeye.bandcamp. com/album/zombie-attack.

ASSIST2SELL has SAVED local** home sellers over A MILLION DOLLARS in commissions since opening in New Westminster in 2008 and over 1 BILLION DOLLARS NATIONALLY* since 2000. Why not save more of your homes equity as your neighbours did?
NOW THAT’S A SMART MOVE!
When we met Lyle and Sandy to inquire about their services, we were already impressed by their enthusiasm, professionalism, dedication and above all, their honesty. This was our first venture in the real estate world. We relied heavily on their guidance and we were not disappointed at all. Starting with a good CMA, a great strategy for pricing and the way they advertised our condo. We even got a firm offer with no subject before the open house! As per Sandy’s advice, we used the money we saved in realtor fees to stage our condo and it made a huge difference. We accepted an offer the day after the open house! Lyle and Sandy also worked relentlessly to respond to the other realtors enquiries to put all the chances on our side. Lyle even had another firm back up offer just in case the one we chose did not go through! Our condo was sold in a week, way above asking price! We sincerely believe we would not have achieved this result without Lyle’s and Sandy’s expertise. They were always available and such a pleasure to deal with. It was an amazing journey. Would we recommend them? ABSOLUTELY! We cannot thank Lyle and Sandy enough. We sincerely believe we have been blessed to deal with such awesome persons. Looking forward to work with them again.

It was a good decision because within 5 days of listing our condo, there was a successful open house followed quickly by 3 solid and impressive offers. The condo sold over list price and with no issues. Lyle and Sandy tailored their marketing plan to the market conditions and worked hard to make it all happen.

Play explores love in the age of information
Relationships – and the effects of a seemingly endless stream of data – are the focus of Douglas College’s next theatrical production. Love and Information, by Caryl Churchill, takes to the stage from Nov. 3 to 10 at the college’s Studio Theatre, presented by students of the theatre department and the stagecraft and event technology department. “The play explores how we process love and information,” said director Cheryl Swan in a press release. “The play says to me that we are overwhelmed and inundated with information and constantly sorting out what is most important.What Caryl Churchill seems to suggest is that love is the most important piece of information.” The play is structured in seven units, with more than 50 scenes. Its 10 actors take on the roles of more than 100 characters. Age, gender, race, class and sexual orientation of the
characters are never specified in the scenes, and the script gives no information about place or time. “This has allowed us to incorporate projection, film, Facetime, texting and other social media into the production,” Swan noted. New West residents Michael Jenkins and Dahlia-Raphael Kerr are in the cast, along with Al-

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS A raving review from our client Chitra S. on Facebook: “My husband and I couldn’t be happier, Wes was referred to us by our friends, and from start to finish (and even after everything was finalized) we received the best possible service we could ever hope for. As first time home buyers, we had lots of questions and needed quite a bit of help. This could have been a very stressful and tedious time but Wes made sure we had the best experience and we honestly enjoyed the whole process. We’d recommend Wes to anyone, especially first time home buyers. Thank you for delivering such top notch service and congratulations to your team to have made the top 100 teams for the month of August in all of Western Canada, it’s very well deserved!” She also gave us

Courtney Cahill and Chris Costo recently returned to the Royal City to tie the knot – in the very city they first met as toddlers. The couple, who live in Edmonton, got married in the Queen’s Park rose garden on Sept. 4. Before the ceremony, Cahill and her bridesmaids ventured over to the H.R. Moulton home on Second Street for photos. “Her great grandfather had it built in 1930. It’s a heritage home in New West,” said proud grandma Marge Moulton. “They had photos done on the front steps. It was a gorgeous day.” Cahill attended F.W. Howay and NewWestminster Secondary School, and later the University of Alberta, while Costo grew up in Maple Ridge. But it turns out the newlyweds may have forged a bond when they were wee ones in daycare. “They went to daycare together and they didn’t know. At five years old they went to Kids Daycare out by Royal Columbian Hospital,” Moulton said of the centre that’s now located at Victoria Hill. “They brought out the picture – he is in the back row and she is in the front.”
ROTARY SAVES LIVES Paramedic students at the Justice Institute of British Columbia will have more hands-on training opportunities thanks to the Rotary Club of NewWestminster. The club recently donated $5,000 to the Justice Institute of British Columbia Foundation, which went toward the purchase of five automated external defibrillator (AED) trainers for students in the Paramedic Academy.The units simulate AED machines, which in conjunction with CPR, can be a lifesaver to people suffering a cardiac arrest. A press release from the Justice Institute states that the AED trainers will be used as part of the institute’s experiential learning model, which helps prepare its paramedic students to respond to real-life emergencies out in the field. “The opportunities offered at JIBC through this funding will ensure first responders have the skills they need to provide the highest possible standard of care for our citizens and communities, “said Kathy Hams, director of JIBC’s health sciences division. “With this gift, students and community participants can take full advantage of an experience that will help them achieve a new level of expertise in public safety and emergency response.With more realistic training, eve-

rybody benefits.” Paramedic students recently performed a demonstration of CPR and the new AED trainers to Rotary Club of NewWestminster members at the JIBC campus in NewWest. “Our NewWestminster Rotary Cub was happy to provide the five AEDs to the hard-working paramedic students at the Justice Institute of British Co-
lumbia,” said club president DaveVallee in a press release. “And we were very impressed during our visit to see the students in action using the equipment and going through their emergency procedures. It was also great to get a demonstration and hand’s-on experience doing CPR and to learn what to do if we come across an emergency situation.”

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
THE RECORD HITS 35
Papers run in the family Why did we pick the ’80s?
I remember my mother bringing me into the NOW newspaper office at Sixth Street in New Westminster when it first opened and I
My mom was an advertising salesperson, and she stayed on with Burnaby NOW and the Record as advertising manager until
Lara Graham was born to a newspaper family was 12 years old. Little did I imagine that almost 30 years later I would be the associate publisher of two of these newspapers, Burnaby NOW and Royal City Record. When the daily Columbian folded in November of 1983, my parents were among a group of ex-employees who decided to start their own suburban newspaper chain. First off the presses was Burnaby NOW, and NewWestminster NOW came along shortly afterwards as a competitor for the Record.The two papers merged a few years later. To this day, people in New Westminster and Burnaby still ask if I’m related to Laila Graham and Neil Graham. Dad was The Columbian’s managing editor and later became managing editor of The Province.
she retired in 2008. I’m told my mom was a key driving force behind the success of the new suburban community newspaper chain. From the beginning, she was intent on making sure all her former Columbian clients advertised in the new papers, and she was not one to accept no as an answer. For the record: she still rarely accepts no for an answer. My parents met while working at a newspaper in Nairobi, Kenya, so all my life I have been surrounded by newspaper talk, newspaper deals and spent many hours hanging around newspaper offices. Some of it must have rubbed off. So it’s probably not surprising that I ended up in the business. Deadline driven, newspaper people seldom have

time to look back over our shoulders to last week, let alone a decade ago. So I was delighted when we decided to celebrate the Record’s 35th anniversary with a special section remembering some of these years.

It isn’t just my family heritage, it is my passion.

Thirty-five years after this paper was started, much has changed, both in the city and in the media. But one thing has not changed: the city’s quest to become a better community. Oh, and in case you missed it, we copied the design our newspaper used in the ’80s. It looks pretty overstated – all bold, capital headlines with lots of underlines. But it matches the fashion style of the ’80s – big shoulder pads, big hair and big glasses.We like to think we all look better than we did in the ’80s – and so does the Record today. – By Pat Tracy, Editor
IT TAKES A CITY TO RAISE A NEWSPAPER The story of the Record newspaper is one of try, try, try again. The first Royal City Record was launched in the 1950s by a local printer. Few copies of it still exist – and those that do are very thin – but it appears to have been published sporadically into the late ’60s with some local advertising support. It relied on a news/features “The Rrst couple of years were not money makers, despite the Columbian’s decline and eventual closure in 1983.” service called the Toronto Telegram News Service and CBC copy for editorial. Local readers were treated to a mix of Toronto news and the occasional photo of a polar bear or two. During the 1970s, New Westminsterites considered the Columbian daily to be their local newspaper – al-
though it was a suburban daily that also covered Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey. It wasn’t until 1981 that Ron Loftus, a Vancouver Sun sports reporter, and a small group of city residents decided that the city needed, and deserved, a newspaper that was solely dedicated to New Westminster. Helen Sparkes (who later became mayor) was the paper’s first circulation manager, Lori Pappajohn, a reporter, the first full-time employee and Helen Sparkes’ daughter Jane wrote some articles.They were soon joined by others intent on making the weekly paper solvent. The first couple of years were not money makers, despite the Columbian’s decline and eventual closure in 1983.There were times when the payroll couldn’t be met, and Loftus was still working days at the Record
for $30,000 in 1984. He knew what had to be done and started turning it around, but a small group of former employees of the Columbian had launched a Lower Mainland chain of communiPast papers: Front pages from two of the ’80s papers.

Houston saw the writing on the wall and sold to the NOW in 1989. He stayed on as assistant publisher guiding the merger of The Record and NewWestminster NOW. For a time the newspaper was called the NOW/Record, but as time went by it was clear that New Westminster considered the Record to be its hometown newspaper, and the NOW was dropped off of the nameplate. Since then there’s been different owners, different publishers and staff changes, but the mandate has remained – the Record, New Westminster’s hometown newspaper, is solely dedicated to this city, its past, present and future.

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
THE RECORD HITS 35
Murders rocked the city during the 1980s The safety of children was top of mind as New Westminster entered the 1980s, but by the end of the decade concerns shifted to violent crime and a soaring murder rate.
By CAYLEY DOBIE In November 1980, now infamous serial killer Clifford Olson abducted his first victim, a 12-year-old girl from Surrey. Her body was found on Christmas Day. Olson’s spree heated up in 1981. Between April and August, he kidnapped and murdered 10 other children, including a boy and a girl from New Westminster. Olson was arrested on Aug. 12, 1981 and pleaded guilty to 11 counts of murder. But by then damage was done. Olson left behind a fear that parents just couldn’t shake. Selfdefence seminars started popping up aimed at teaching kids about safety. Seminars for parents on
child abuse were also commonplace. Parents were taught about warning signs, preventative measures and information on support services equipped to help children who experienced abuse. By the mid-’80s, however, there was a new villain lurking in the shadows of the Royal City. In March 1985, 71-year-old David Dailey was attacked by two men while walking in Moody Park. He suffered broken ribs, a broken spine and skull fractures. Dailey had been in the park early in the morning collecting bottles, which he cashed in and then donated the proceeds to the local hockey association. Safety was top of mind for New West residents in the 1980s.

Five-year-old Radic was at home with his three older brothers and sisters when a fire was set in their Queens Avenue home.The older siblings – ranging in ages from six to 16 – escaped the fire unharmed. Everyone had been in bed when the oldest sibling was awoken by the sound of crackling fire. Investigators believed the fire, which happened on March 31, 1985, was deliberately set.The inside of the home was completely destroyed in the blaze. “There are indications it may be arson,” New Westminster Police Supt. John Lucas said at the time. “But we can’t really say. It is still under investigation.” Investigators eventually homed in on a suspect, but before charges could be laid the suspect died, according to a statement provided by the New Westminster Police two years ago.The file is now closed.

ficers often blamed the train itself for making it easier for criminals to travel between cities. In response, the New Westminster Police Department ramped up enforcement – especially around SkyTrain stations.They also enlisted the help of the community, recruiting volunteers for their Crime Watch and Block Watch programs. By 1989, the department was bringing on new cops by the handful, and with the opening of the new Columbia SkyTrain station looming, the top brass were hoping the city would approve the hiring of an additional 10 officers at about $50,000 per year each. The department also introduced a new four-day, 12-hour afternoon shift to provide additional patrols for peak times, and it was quite successful, according to reports at the time. This trend continued well into the 1990s, but we’ll save that, and the police crackdown that followed, for another time.
POLICE BLOTTER The Police Blotter column in the ‘80s was filled with an assortment of crimes. Here’s a sample: Grinch stole Christmas
Little Drew Labell’s Christmas skates were stolen just hours after his grandma gave them to him.The Labells were in New West visiting the grandparents at their home in the 1200 block of 10th Avenue. Just after midnight a thief stole the skates and some other holiday loot from the family’s car. Bandits make off with cab
A taxi driver was hoodwinked into transporting two armed robbers from Vancouver to New West.The men had the driver take them to a laneway between Fourth and Fifth streets where they pulled out two guns and stole $120 from the cabbie.The suspects then threw the driver out of the car before making their escape in his vehicle.The cab was eventually recovered but the suspects never were. Dairy robbed
Friday the 13th started badly for the Bluebird Dairy. At 10:05 a.m. a man walked in asking for cigarettes but demanded money instead. He fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of cash.

By THERESA MCMANUS Kainth, executive director of Tourism New Westminster, was born in New West in 1981 – the same year the Record started publishing in the Royal City. “I really miss that time. I’d love to go back,” she said. “If I had a time machine I’d go back to the ’80s.” The youngest of five kids, Kainth loved hanging out with her older sisters and their friends – even if they weren’t too keen on the tagalong little sister. As a kid, she remembers playing California kickball and baseball and creating a relay route through the West End with neighbourhood kids. Next door neighbours, known as Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy, would bring out crackers and cheese, peanut butter sandwiches and lemonade for Kainth and her pals. Along with the playground at Grimston Park,
said Welcome to New Westminster. It was facing the bridge,” she says. “I used to adore that growing up. I thought it was the most beautiful thing. I was only five or six years old. It was gorgeous.” As a kid it was exciting to visit an aunt who worked on McBarge during Expo 86, but Kainth has fond memories of family outings closer to home including visits to Army and Navy (which always included a frosted malt),Woodward’s and movies at New West Cinemas in Westminster Mall. Playing in Queensborough after attending prayers at the Sikh temple was always fun for Kainth. “Back then, there was so much agriculture there. There were farm animals,” she says. “We would be in our Indian suits and we’d have our heads covered. After we’d pray, everyone would go to eat, and me
and my cousins would run out and start looking at the horses and chickens.” On days when she wasn’t at the temple, Kainth was likely sporting Transformers and Care Bears attire, listening to Roxette, New Kids on the Block or DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and watching shows like Out of ThisWorld, Today’s Special and WWF with wrestlers like Macho Man Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior. Kainth attended Lord Tweedsmuir from kindergarten to midway through Grade 5,when her family moved to the other side of

growing up, doing the folk dance, the maypole, the relays,” she says. “We used to have relay races.Those were so much fun.” Kainth, who was New Westminster’s 123rd May Queen in 1993, was the first South Asian elected as May Queen. “For my parents and the
community, that was a big thing for us,” she says. “I knew it was tradition, and to be involved and be a part of something that was so valued in our community was a huge honour to be a part of.” Kainth, a former Royal City Record delivery girl, now lives downtown in a condo overlooking the Fraser River and Westminster Pier Park. As much as she loves travelling down Memory Lane, she loves that there’s “an abundance of activities” taking place in all parts of the city these days. “It really is a fun city,” she says. “We really have some fun programs going on and incredible restaurants to check out and some upscale
bars too.There’s this new wave of energy and people that is nice to see. It’s nice to wake up, have your coffee on your porch and see how packed Westminster Pier Park is.” Kainth also likes knowing that today’s youngsters in New West are making memories they’ll treasure in the years to come. “Coming to downtown New Westminster, growing up in the 1980s, I still get that nostalgic feeling sometimes when I am walking by the Army and Navy,” she says. “But what it has transformed into – these are memories that this next generation is going to be enjoying.”
HEADLINES AND CLIPPINGS THAT CAUGHT OUR EYE The following are some of the local issues reported on in the early years of the Royal City Record: May 1986: The luxury cruise ship Pegasus arrives at New Westminster’s waterfront.The 340-cabin ship was acting as a floating hotel and was docked upstream from the S.S. Prince George. Both hoped to cash in on Expo 86 visitors. September 1988: New Queen Elizabeth Elementary School opens in Queensborough. June 19, 1983: Because of the recession, the Royal City Record stops publishing for three weeks. “The Royal City Record has not escaped this devastating financial crunch,” the front page article says. Nov. 28, 1984: 110 tons of herring are sold at CK-
NW’s herring sale at the waterfront. May 21, 1988: headline: Display OK, says inspector. There’s nothing wrong with a mannequin (or shall we say womannequin?) dressed in showy lingerie in a display window on 6th Street, says the city’s chief license inspector Mel Clerihue. “I was just up there and I saw nothing that contravenes city bylaws,” Clerihue told the Record. The decision means the shop can keep its risqué window display in place – despite complaints from some irate citizens. In a letter to city council, a resident said the store is “plainly a sex shop. I never thought I’d see this in a busy thoroughfare in New Westminster… “
Dec. 10, 1988: Record editorial urges city aldermen to stop being sexist and adopt the term “councillor” as women are elected to city council. The men are reluctant to change the status quo. Sept. 17, 1988: The city spends $300 in lab fees trying to discover what the white powder is that is left at the base of numerous trees and lamp posts in Queen’s Park. The lab conducted numerous tests, dissolving the substance in acids, trying inorganic tests and organic tests, finally they realized it was plain ordinary flour. No one knows who put the mysterious piles of flour at the base of the trees and lamp stands. June 18, 1988: A downtown forum decides it’s time to hire a paid coordi-
nator to help in revitalization. “Participants in the forum agreed that enough revitalization talk has taken place (20 years of it, in fact) and now is the time to act.” Sept. 26, 1987: School trustees decide against suing members of council.The New Westminster school board decided to not seek legal action against city council despite the scorching trustees received at the Sept. 14 council meeting over the adult crossing guards issue. The board considered legal action when aldermen blasted them with criticism over the way they handled the controversial adult crossing guard issue. Aldermen accused the board of having a ‘hidden agenda,’ being ‘intellectu-
ally dishonest’ and manipulating the press. In the past, the city hired and trained the guards with the school board reimbursing the city. But this year the city refused to continue. The crossing guard issue resolved itself when the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of Greater Vancouver offered to administer the program which is paid for by the school board. Feb. 27, 1983: The New Westminster school board makes the daring move of changing a 112-year-old tradition in the Royal City, much to the horror of some aldermen and residents.The board approves including boys in the May Day Royal Suite.Their role will be decided by the schools
and by the May Day committee. Said Ald. Joe Francis: “We’ve had it the traditional way for 100 plus years and we should keep it that way.” The Record editorial (written by a male) lambasted the teachers for wanting to involve boys in the May Day Royal Suite. The editorial called their idea a “farcical display of petulance.” The editorial said teachers should be sticking to teaching – not changing the city’s time-honoured traditions. A May King indeed. Editor’s note: Boys have been involved in the May Day Royal Suite for more than two decades now as Royal Knights. In fact, you could almost call it a tradition.

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
THE RECORD HITS 35
Confessions of a Royal City party girl Back when earrings were big and bangs were bigger, NewWestminster was a hopping place – a little too hopping for a group of ministers in the late 1980s who complained it was fast becoming a boozesoaked, drug-riddled capital of crime.
By CORNELIA NAYLOR Those holding the Chi Chis in the city’s many nightclubs, though, saw things a little differently.The Record sat down with one recovering ’80s NewWaver, born and bred in the Royal City, to get a first-hand account. Names have been withheld to protect the innocent.
a little strip competition for money.They had a fabulous DJ.The reason I went to Chicago’s so much is that they had a DJ who really picked up on some of the really new music. It’s very old now, but the Safety Dance. He played the Safety Dance by Men Without Hats. I would request it from radio station and they had no clue who Men Without Hats were. A lot of NewWave stuff, Missing Persons, the Stranglers. He did recognize that that wasn’t going to fly all night every night, so he had to mix it up a bit. There was Michael Jackson; Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order was a big song. He
There was also a nightclub, Mardi Gras, in the Royal Towers Hotel and a pub, Rosie O’Grady’s, with a room at the back called Rosie’s Den where guys would go and watch strippers.There were a lot of strip clubs in NewWest back then. There was also a place out in Sapperton, EJ Jackson’s. I think they had a shooter bar, where you had to sit down and take your shot leaning back. A lot of older folks used to go down to the Terminal; it was a beer parlour.There were also theWindsor and theWindjammer on Columbia Street.
When did your life as a Royal City partier begin? I didn’t start partying right away, but a lot of people who grew up in NewWest in the ’80s probably went into local bars before they were allowed to.They would sneak in. Where did people your age go? The College Place Hotel is probably the first place that they drank. It was on Carnarvon Street. It’s where the Lookout Society has their shelter now. It had been a hotel and it had been a drinking establishment for many, many, many years. On one side, you had Mugs and Jugs, which during the day was a strip bar and at night was a pub. On the other side of the building, with a separate entrance, was Chicago Tonight, which was a nightclub. It was the place to be.You would go to Mugs and Jugs to drink, and at the end of the night, you’d go to Chicago’s if you wanted to dance or if they wanted to meet someone. Was Chicago’s your favourite place to party? So many people from NewWest would go there on a Friday night.You didn’t have to go to a house party because so many people that you went to school with or that you knew from older grades or younger grades, they were all there. In about the late ’80s, maybe early ’90s, Kits Pub opened up on Front Street, and it sort of became the place that everybody went to. My age group moved off to Kits and probably some of the younger people kind of kept going to Chicago Tonight. What were Chicago Tonight and Mugs and Jugs like? Mugs and Jugs was a pub place with a stage for the strippers in the middle of it. In the evening, people would sit on the stage. There was a second bar that was open on one side to Chicago Tonight and on the other to Mugs and Jugs. If you were in Mugs and you wanted to go dancing, and you were kind of worried that Chicago’s might be getting a lineup, you could look across… You had to go outside to go, but you could see through the bar. Chicago’s you would never forget.When we first started going there in the early ’80s, it had booths and there were telephones in the booths that you could use to call someone (I never did this) across the room and chat with someone sitting somewhere else. It was quite a tacky place.There was a giant wax figurine Elvis and a ‘get lucky ball.’ There was a disco ball and strobe lights and a “hot buns night,” where people would do
What about make-up? Nothing too wild and crazy there. A lot of eyeliner. What were people drinking in those days? You hear about all the craft beer nowadays. Back then it was Coors Lite or Bud. People would drink Zombies, Paralyzers. Long Island Iced Teas were a big seller at Kits Pub. I used to have Chi Chis when I was underage or just of age and didn’t really drink a ton.That would be my drink. I’d have a Chi Chi at Chicago’s and I’d be good to go. I could dance the night away. But Mugs also had draught cider, and, to this day, I’ve never known of another place that has ever had draught cider, so that was a thing. It was a buck for a glass of cider. A buck! What about drugs? It was a big cocaine decade, and I think that in a lot of ways I was actually quite naïve to the prevalence of it. Especially by the late ’80s or the early ’90s at Kits Pub, yeah, you knew it was easily accessible if that’s what you wanted. People smoked pot. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like it’s more prevalent now.Weed was more of a thing that people did at parties. For my group of friends, alcohol was the drug of choice. When I started going downtown toVancouver for clubbing I started to hear more about other drugs.
If you were looking for a good time in New West in the 1980s, you may have found yourself at the College Place Hotel, home of both Mugs and Jugs and Chicago Tonight. RECORD /Thinkstock
played Bon Jovi and the hair bands too. It was NewWest, so you had some people who were pretty alternative looking, and you had some very traditional looking people. I had a friend once who had the big schwoop in her hair, and people would cockadoodle-doo at her when she walked in.They weren’t quite ready for it, but the music brought that kind of element to the place. Did other bars and clubs have different reputations? Absolutely, Casablanca’s was over on Church Street. It was sort of the funk place. There were a lot of people who came up from the States to go there. A lot of navy guys fromWhidbey Island came up to go there. It was a hugely popular place.
What was the most decrepit bar? That was theWindsor on the corner of Begbie and Columbian. It was a heritage building and it had separate entrances for men, ladies and escorts. Were there any gay bars? There were no gay bars that I know of in NewWest, but there was a bathhouse down on Front Street … In the ’80s, because you had bands like the Eurythmics and the Culture Club, who had these either gay or androgynous singers, there were a lot of gay people who were starting to go to Chicago Tonight, for example. Were they openly gay? I had crushes on a couple of them, not knowing.
“Kits Pub opened up on Front Street, and it sort of became the place that everybody went to.”
How did you get ready on a typical Friday night? I usually just consulted with my girlfriends and found out what everybody was wearing and where we were going.
People from around the Lower Mainland went there for that type of music and it was a hopping place. There was Good Rockin Tonight and California Dreamin. I think one came before the other.They were behind what is now the Old Spaghetti Factory before SkyTrain.That was the rocker place. I only went there once or twice. For me as a little new waver, it seemed like a rougher crowd. That was the rowdiest.That would have been the place that bikers would have gone.
What did you wear? It would have been probably a long stretchy pencil skirt, a longish blouse that would have had a giant belt that would have been hanging low, lots of jewelry, lots of bracelets, rows of pearls. Madonna fed into the whole big jewelry thing, big gaudy earrings, and then a lot of people had some really big hair going on. I didn’t go too outrageous with the hair. I did have some big bangs, though, and had to spend some time gelling and blow-drying.
Did people come from outside of New West to party here? Yes, because back then NewWest had a lot of places to party, a lot of nightclubs and they were diverse. So, yeah, you had people coming from other places because I don’t think that those communities had the establishments that we did. What was New West’s reputation at the time? It wasn’t a great reputation. It was really looked down upon. It was definitely not a hip place; it was a working man’s kind of town. Columbia Street at the time was pretty dead, so I think that kind of image is what a lot of people had of NewWest. It wasn’t a place where people were going to come fromVancouver too much to party. It looked down and out even though there was a lot going on in terms of places to go. What changed? Do you think New West is the same place it was then? I don’t party too much anymore, but I think that nowadays there’s more pubs and lounge-type places.There’s none of the big nightclubs that we had back then, aside from the one on Church Street. And that was something that happened because of lots of complaints about noise, and I think there were allegations of bikers taking over places. Is New West a better place today? I don’t know what the younger people’s party habits are like.There’s lots of pubs and lounges, but back in the ’80s, the College Place Hotel was a real focal point. It was like the Cheers of NewWest. If you went in there on a weekend evening, you were pretty much guaranteed to find someone you knew. I don’t know if there’s any place like that now.

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
THE RECORD HITS 35
WHAT KEPT LOCALS BUSY IN THE CITY
If you wanted to catch ’80s flicks like Raging Bull, Top Gun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, E.T., Breakfast Club or Platoon, there were a few options around town, including the Columbia Theatre and Paramount Theatre (before it became a lapdancing establishment) on Columbia Street and New West Cinemas in Westminster Mall. Folks looking to do a bit of gambling (and able to handle the smoke) may have enjoyed a night of bingo. New West has been home to a few bingo halls through the years, including Sunday night games in the New Westminster City Market at 1051 Columbia St. – a site that’s now home to Columbia Square shopping centre. Woodward’s. Need we say more? It was the go-to place for pretty much everything you needed including clothing, shoes, groceries and toys.You could enjoy a quick bite to go at the malt stand or sit down for a coffee or a meal in the res-
taurant. Come Christmas, there was no place quite like a visit with Santa at Woodward’s. In the early 1990s, Woodward’s relocated into the new Woodward’s Centre (now Royal City Centre) at Sixth and Sixth and eventually closed shop. If you needed to get the newest release by the likes of Michael Jackson, Madonna, the Police or Billy Joel, you headed to Kelly’s Stereo Mart at the corner of Columbia and Sixth streets (where Starbucks is now located) or Big K Music in Westminster Mall. While White Spot has been located in Royal City Centre for many years, in the 1980s it still stood on the corner of 12th Street and Sixth Avenue, across the street from Lucky Strike Bowling.You could dine inside at the counter or a table, or get served in your car by the White Spot carhops. If you wanted a homecooked meal, you likely ventured to the Waffle House – when it was located on Sixth Avenue.The 600
block of Sixth Avenue, now home to the Royal Bank and some dollar stores, was the site of others businesses in the 1980s, including Cartwright Jewelers, Kelly’s Men’s and Boys’Wear and Parkhill Bakery. If you have an appetite for fish, you would have headed down to the waterfront in April for the seasonal eulachon run in the Fraser River. Fishermen sold the eulachon for about $1 a pound. Nightlife proliferated in New West in the 1980s, offering up everything from nightclubs where you could dance the night away to oldschool beer parlours.The College Place Hotel (Mugs and Jugs and Chicago Tonight), the Royal Towers Hotel (Rosie O’Grady’s pub and Mardi Gras nightclub), Casablanca’s on Church Street, E.J. Jacksons in Sap-

perton, Fronts of Front Street, the Windjammer, the Windsor, the Terminal Pub, Moonrakers, and the King Edward Hotel – and a few we’ve likely missed. Late night munchies? There’s a good chance you hit up Bino’s Restaurant (fries with gravy or a jumbo bran muffin, anyone?) in Westminster Mall or Venus Pizza, the predecessor to River’s Reach neighbourhood pub. Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons inspired many folks to don spandex and
leggings and do aerobics. Locally, Fitness New West at the Centennial Community Centre and theYMCA of New Westminster on Sixth Street were the places to get fit. Sports fans enjoyed action at Queen’s Park Arena, where the senior Salmonbellies enjoyed great success in the 1980s (see page 41). Come winter, they could enjoy watching future NHLers Bill Ranford and Cliff Ronning take to the ice for the New Westminster Bruins. Levis were still on trend, but Sergio Valente and Jordache were among the hot denim brands of the 1980s. If you needed a new pair
of jeans, you may have ventured in to Bootlegger in Westminster Mall or Kelly’s Men’s and Boy’s Wear on Sixth Avenue. Big, big hair was a big thing in the 1980s, and locals visited places like Michael’s Salon, Raymond’s Salon in Woodward’s, Classic Hair Salon and He and She to get punky cuts, perms and other styles of the day. New Westminster is home to grocery stores like SaveOn-Foods, Safeway and Buy Low Foods, but in the 1980s families would have headed to the Woodward’s Food Floor, Safeway or SuperValu in Westminster Centre for their grocery needs.
They still talk about King Neptune’s buffet A legendary part of New Westminster’s restaurant history served its last supper in 1982. The King Neptune opened on the waterfront at the foot of Eighth Street
By THERESA MCMANUS in the late 1950s, quickly garnering a reputation as the go-to upscale restaurant in town. Diners came from across the Lower Mainland to feast on seafood. “It was a seafood feast to remember. Lovely stuff,” recalls longtime New West resident Tony Antonias. “They had crab, shrimp, prawns. It was just incredible. It was something to behold.” After filling their plates at the buffet tables stacked with seafood, side dishes
and fruits, diners headed to the dining area that featured views of the Fraser River. “King Neptune – where salmon jump from the Fraser into the pan,” reads a postcard distributed during the restaurant’s heyday. While seafood lovers often dined at the restaurant, for many folks a night out at the King Neptune was reserved for special occasions. “To go to the King Neptune was a night that you would hold very, very special,” Antonias says. “It brought a lot of people to New West. It was the talk of New Westminster. It was a special place.” Many residents were saddened when the famous seafood establishment was forced out of its waterfront location in 1982, when the B.C. Development Corpo-
ration didn’t renew the restaurant’s waterfront lease. First Capital City was an agency established by the B.C. Development Corporation and the City of New Westminster to work on the redevelopment of the city’s waterfront. The restaurant’s closure led to plenty of legal wrangling in court, as the owners attempted to sue for breach of trust and negligent misrepresentation.The restaurant building was put in storage and the owners considered a new location in Surrey and Richmond, but it never came to be. More than 35 years after the restaurant shuttered its doors and left New West, the King Neptune’s legacy lives on in the memories of residents and in mementoes like menus and postcards that pop up periodi-

cally for sale on eBay. “Some of us have also never forgotten King Neptune,” local historian Jim Wolf told the Record in
2013. “It had a wonderful neon sign ... and when you came down the Eighth Street hill and there was King Neptune holding his
trident looking straight up the hill and beckoning people to come on in and eat the salmon.”

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
Dream for permanent home becomes reality The city’s arts community was hard at work in 1980s looking for a permanent home for a local arts centre. The arts council had temporary quarters at a former Douglas College building
By JULIE MACLELLAN at McBride Boulevard and Eighth Avenue, but a request for a $5,000 city grant to help them complete an arts centre there was denied in June 1984.The city felt the money would be wasted if at a future date the school board (which owned the property) decided to sell the land for commercial use. Later that month, a city report suggested that Centennial Lodge in Queen’s “To this day, the Arts Council of New Westminster remains headquartered at Centennial Lodge.” Park might make a good permanent location for an arts centre – a suggestion that garnered some interest from arts council president EileenThompson. After that, plans speeded ahead quite efficiently. In July, city council agreed to an expansion of the building to accommodate an arts council gallery, workshop areas and office. In October, the arts council held a successful fundraiser – including a concert and sale of paintings – to help get the project off the ground. By the following July, the arts council was announcing the hiring of its summer help – and, on Aug. 12, 1985, the official opening of the new arts centre hit the front page. The festive event had about 200 guests in attendance. To this day, the arts council remains headquartered at Centennial Lodge.
THE RECORD HITS 35
WHO WAS HOT ON THE NEW WEST ARTS SCENE?
Here are some of the local folks and groups we found making headlines in our back issues:
it family and friends and to show his work at the Bau Xi Gallery in Vancouver.
ALIX GIBSON: The 15-year-old dancer was featured in September 1984 with a host of hardware after earning the North American Irish Dancing championship title for girls under 15.
NANCY ISAAK: This New Westminster actress was featured on our front page in September 1985 as her TV and film career rose. Most recently, she had earned recognition as the “sob-
DOROTHY SMIBERT and YVETTE BOIVIN: These two New Westminster artists hit our front page in February 1984 when they were among the 350 selected from 12,000 entries to have their hand-painted ornaments hung on a special Christmas tree at the Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institute.They belonged to the Dogwood Tole Society. Smibert returned to the headlines in January 1989 when another ornament was chosen for the Smithsonian tree – her third such success.
Hansel and Gretel took centre stage in 1986
BERNARD RANGER: This Montreal-born local resident hit the front page in July 1985 when he opened the new Novo Art Gallery on East Columbia Street, the city’s first privately owned gallery. He promised complete artistic freedom for those showing in his space. JOE PLASKETT: The acclaimed artist – yes, the Plaskett Gallery at Massey Theatre is named for him – hit the front page in September 1985.Then 67 years old and living in Paris, the New Westminster native was in town to vis-
bing bride-to-be” in a lottery commercial. She had also just finished working on The Finding, a feature film starring June Lockhart, Margaret O’Brien,Tom Poston and Jackson Davies.
ROYAL CITY DANCE CENTRE: This new New Westminster ballet company made headlines in January 1986 as it was getting ready for its debut production, Hansel and Gretel, which was set to take to the stage at the Douglas College Theatre. Suzanne Ouelette was the director of the new dance centre, which was a youth performing group for promising ballet dancers around the Lower Mainland. COLLEEN WINTON: Yes, she’s still a very familiar face on the arts scene, and her star was already well on the rise in the
1980s. In April 1986, she was featured for her role as Sheila in the Vancouver Playhouse production of A Chorus Line (a role for which, by the way, she was nominated for a Jessie Award for Outstanding Performance in a Musical in a Supporting Role).
CHARLOTTE DIAMOND: You remember Charlotte – the former NWSS teacher-turned-children’s entertainer who remains popular today. In February 1987, she was headlining a benefit for the Vincent Massey Theatre Improvement Society. In May 1987, she appeared in a feature story in our pages after winning the Juno Award for 1986 Children’s Album of theYear. MORGAN NYBERG: This New Westminster author was celebrating a prestigious literary honour, having won the 1987 Governor General’s Award for Best Children’s Book – an honour he captured for his work Galahad Schwartz and the Cockroach Army. The author and dad of two teenage sons (Lawrence and Carl) was featured in February 1988. SCOTT BREMNER: The nineyear-old actor (son of Suzanne and Ron Bremner) made headlines in April 1988 for his TV career. Among his recent accomplishments were playing Scooter in a TV pilot for The Adventures of Beans Baxter and earning a nomination for Most Outstanding Actor 10Years and Under at the Youth Film Festival in Los An-
geles.
LINDA CULLEN: Yes, you know her too.The star of CBC Radio’s popular Double Exposure program was profiled in August 1988. At the time, she was recognized for her send-ups of such famous females as Pat Carney, Flora McDonald, Grace McCarthy, Margaret Thatcher and Lady Di – but never the Queen. She left that voice to her partner, Bob Robertson. DOLORES KIRKWOOD: The dancer was running the Kirkwood Academy of the Performing Arts in New Westminster. She was featured in April 1989 as she got set for her finale production, 42nd Street, at Terry Fox Senior High in Port Coquitlam. Among her successful past pupils were professional performer Susan Anderson and professional ballet dancer Reid Anderson, who had become the new artistic director of the National Ballet of Canada. ED HARRINGTON: Harrington graced our pages in August 1989 for his efforts in setting up a new musical theatre society that would be known as the Royal City Musical Theatre Company. His fellow members of the steering committee included such notable locals as NWSS teacher Evelyn Benson,Vagabond Players’ veteran Bernie Legge, set and costume designer James Keary,TV newscaster Belle Puri and choir director Diane Staton.
YES, MICHAEL JACKSON DID COME TO CITY HALL “Glitter King parades with city’s finest.” Thus ran the large headline across the front page on Nov. 26, 1984, when one of the most famous folks ever to visit New Westminster came quietly into town. The King of Pop Michael Jackson arrived in the city on Sunday, Nov. 18 after being invited by New Westminster police officers. Staff Sgt. Jack Fordham had come up with the idea of inviting Jackson to town after learning that the entertainer enjoyed soccer and was known to have a soft spot for police. Fordham and Const. Greg Donnelly were then heading up the police soccer school, and they thought it would be fun to have Jackson come visit while he was in Vancouver
for his Victory Tour. Jackson agreed – he came to town, signed the city guest book, took an oath of police office and was given memorabilia including a police badge, uniform, identification card and more. The visit was a “high-security operation” and intended to be kept secret, with only a small select group – including police, families and some soccer school kids – invited to meet Jackson. But a small crowd that grew to about 50 people did end up converging on city hall to catch a glimpse of the soft-spoken musician – who reportedly barely uttered a word during his visit. “He was a very quiet individual,” Donnelly told the The King of Pop Michael Jackson visited the city in November 1984 after New West Police Staff Sgt. Jack Fordham invited him to meet with officers. RECORD /Files, contributed paper.

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
THE RECORD HITS 35
It was ‘boozeminster’ back in the 80s By February 1987, Rodney Loewen had had it. The Evangelical Free Church minister had been the victim of two car thefts and three car break-ins, and his son had been beat-
according to 2015 population estimates. The hard-drinking habits that fuelled all those extra bar seats in the 1980s likely had roots in New West’s history as a shipping ter-
By CORNELIA NAYLOR en up by four drunk youths “roaming our streets and looking for trouble.” The problem, as he and 17 of his fellow ministers saw it, was the demon liquor. Looking back, they might have had a point. In 1987, the Royal City boasted 13,300 bar seats – one for every three residents, according to an articlein the Feb. 17, 1987 edition of the Record. Today, there are 11,117 liquor primary seats in the city, and nearly half of those are in the Starlight Casino. That’s less than half as many per capita as in 1987,
minal that cycled through many a thirsty sailor and longshoreman. “New West was a lot of fun in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.There was basically a pub crawl route you could take through New West,” said New Westminster Museum and Archives curator Oana Capota, who is currently gathering material for an exhibit on drinking culture in the Royal City for next year. She said New West’s old Labatt’s plant apparently did its part to keep the city awash in alcohol too by providing employees with free cases of beer every

month. “The person I talked to was a very minor worker and she got six cases of beer every month,” Capota said. “She took it to parties. I think some people who worked there full time got even more.”
As city council mulled over adding even more bar seats to the city’s already fulsome stock in 1987, however, Loewen and his fellow ministers organized themselves into the New Westminster Ministerial Association and said enough
was enough. In briefs to city council and the police board, they demanded a freeze on bar seats, more police, stronger enforcement of drinking-driving laws, more severe sentencing of offenders and the delicensing of row-
dy pubs. In a letter to the editor on March 3, 1987, they insisted they weren’t prudes. With 22 per cent unemployment in the city, they argued, residents were easy prey for the bottle and the city’s reputation as a boozesoaked, drug-riddled capital of crime wasn’t good for business and would affect the city’s tax base. “The moral principle of anything is always costly and in the long run worth it,” wrote the ministers. As clashes between residents and rowdy bars ramped up in the 1990s, though, residents voiced fewer concerns about morality and more about drunken fights, noise, property crime and vandalism outside their homes. If you have a story to tell or an item to donate related to local drinking culture, contact Capota at 604-5153842 or ocapota@newwest city.ca.

By JEREMY DEUTSCH And in the ’80s, plenty of ink was used in the Record to cover the transit line, from construction to the first ride and beyond. While most people can’t imagine the city without SkyTrain, history shows, not everyone was expecting it be a success. Construction on the project, which was called the Expo line to commemorate the popular fair, began in 1983 and spanned 21 kilometres from New Westminster to downtown Van-
warning the line would be a bust. A Record article from April 1984 suggested a “clear majority” of suburban residents will make little use of the line. Some of the resident quoted said they’d likely only use SkyTrain to get to and from Vancouver Canucks and B.C. Lions games. In fairness, the article mostly quoted people from the TriCities. But once it was finally open, large crowds came out to be a part of
the spectacle. On Dec. 11, 1985, an estimated 60,000 people, including Premier Bill Bennett turned out to take a ride on the SkyTrain.The line was operating for a few weeks for free before paid service began at the start of 1986. And shortly after, residents were already complaining about SkyTrain, mostly about the disruption and devaluing homes. “We’ve lost all of our privacy,” Judy Kaler told the Record in a story in Jan. 21, 1986. Despite the myriad complaints, there was no slowing the SkyTrain down. Expansion of the service was quickly back up for discussion amongst the politicians of the day. By October 1987, New West politicians were pushing for
a decision on an expansion of SkyTrain to Coquitlam. New West was seeking a route from the Columbia Station east to the city limits. Burnaby was pushing for SkyTrain to enter Coquitlam via its Burnaby-Edmonds station. “The decision to go to Coquitlam is necessary for the overall system,” acting New West Mayor Calvin Donnelly said in the Record on Oct. 21, 1987. It would be almost 30 years before SkyTrain would end up in the Tri-Cities. However, a month after the story, construction began in November 1987 on the SkyBridge, a new SkyTrain bridge that would link New West to Surrey.The $170 million extension was expected to be fully operational by 1990.

THE 80s IN NEW WEST
THE RECORD HITS 35
Historic battles for ’Bellies in the ’80s
Distance doesn’t always create a fondness for someone’s company. Nor do years always make memories softer. When it came to the 4,378 kilometres that separated New Westminster, B.C. and Brooklin, Ont. in the 1980s, the gap couldn’t have been bigger nor rougher. Between 1985 and 1989, the New Westminster Salmonbellies and Brooklin Redmen battled for national
in 1981 and ’86.The lessons learned over four tough final losses (in 1980, ’82, ’85 and ‘87) were paid in full as New West prevailed 10-4 to capture the 1989 Mann Cup national title in six games. Celebrating the 1986 Mann Cup title were ’Bellies, from left, Ivan Tuura, John Gilchrist and MVP Geordie Dean. In that rivalry brewed over RECORD /Archived Files four meetings in five seasons, a chapter of lacrosse mythology was written. It pitted the best of box lacrosse in an East vs.West ing Mann champs.When “Believe me, you’d have out Gary Gait – a player crop.

FIRST HERITAGE HOME IN THE CITY NDP power couple Dennis and Yvonne Cocke designated their 1910 home at 111 Fifth Ave. as a heritage house in July 1985 – making it the first designated heritage house in New Westminster. The Wintemute-Cocke house is now one of dozens of designated heritage buildings in New Westminster. The Cockes were well-known figures around town, as Dennis served as the city’s MLA and Yvonne was an alderman (in the days before they were called city councillors). Together the couple became known as the Cocke Machine for their phenomenal ability to run successful NDP campaigns. RECORD /Archived Files

WHAT’S UP The Royal City Gogos fifth annual Artisan Crafts for Africa, Nov. 4 and 5. WHAT’S HAPPENING? The 55 members of the Royal City Gogos have been busy crafting since last November to prepare unique handcrafted items for this sale. Sister gogos from six groups in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island will be joining in on the action at the fifth annual Artisan Crafts for Africa sale. WHAT WILL I FIND AT THE SALE? Hundreds of items ranging from $5 to $350 will be for sale at this year’s events. Some notable items you’ll find this year include denim handbags, faux fur-trimmed hats, spa products, wooden bowties and nuno-felted scarves and shawls. “This ain’t your granny’s craft sale,” says Janine Reid,
co-chair of the Royal City Gogos. “The artisanal quality of our crafts is comparable to other juried craft sales in the Lower Mainland.” NUNO-FELTED SCARVES AND SHAWLS? Nuno felting is a magical fusion of wool roving and silk through applying warm, soapy water and agitating the yarn until it felts to the fabrics, explains Reid. WHERE DOES THE MONEY THAT’S RAISED GO? All proceeds from the sale go directly to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Ninety per cent of the money goes from the Stephen Lewis Foundation to carefully selected community-based projects in 15 countries in Africa. The money will be used to support African grandmothers who have

Q A
DR. MANJU ARORA
My dog gets scared on Halloween, what can I do to keep him calm? Halloween can be a stressful time for pets. Here are some tips to keep your pet safe:
1) Ask your veterinarian if he or she will prescribe a gentle sedative for your pet or recommend a calming supplement or collar.
2) Create a safe room for your dog to avoid fear and escape when the door is opened for trick-or-treaters. 3) Take your dog for a long leash walk early in the day. Keep cats indoors and in a secure part of the home. 4) Keep lit pumpkins out of reach or use LED lights to keep excited dogs and curious cats from getting hurt by an open flame. 5) Keep chocolate and candy safely away from your pets as some ingredients are toxic.

ision is our most precious sense - 80 per cent of all impressions from our environment come from our eyes. FYidoctors (formerly Family Eyecare Centre) believes in helping people to experience all life has to offer with all-inclusive eye care for the whole family. They provide comprehensive eye examinations for adults and DR. KELSEY SNOW children - from babies to seniors - to diagnose and treat vision problems and eye diseases; and offer an extensive selection of eyeglass frames, sunglasses and state-ofthe-art lenses, safety and sport specific eyewear, and the latest in contact lenses (with a special interest in difficult fits). New patients are always welcome! Who are the members of this caring and fun-loving team? Staff and doctors hail from a wide range of backgrounds, including Europe, the Caribbean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America. Languages spoken include English, French, Spanish, German, Cantonese, Korean, Punjabi, Hindi, Gujarati and Kacchi. In addition, all the doctors are women! The clinic has been serving the people of New Westminster since the 1950s under the guidance of various optometrists over the years. In 2008 it became a founding partner of FYidoctors – now Canada’s largest eye care provider. This unique model is simple. They combine the passion and personalized care offered by independent practitioners, with the clout and pricing of a large corporation. For patients this means a winning combination of quality and value. For eye doctors it means not having to compromise on quality of care. FYidoctors believes in giving back to the community. Their contributions are numerous and varied, reflecting the changing needs of New Westminster’s individuals and organizations. Currently they participate in programs that offer eye exams and free eyeglasses to young children; regularly support Monarch Place, a transition house for women and children fleeing violence; provide eye exams to the homeless and new immigrants; host dozens of eye health presentations annually to local pre-schools, daycares and ‘Baby Talks’ to new moms at several locations; and donate to many local and international fundraisers. It is this caring approach toward patients and community that reflects this talented group’s motto: “Enhancing Life”.
ASK AN OPTOMETRIST
Q A
What is amblyopia?
Amblyopia is commonly referred to as “lazy eye.” It refers to an eye which does not develop clear vision due to a weakness of the connections between the eye and the brain. It can result from various conditions DR. KELSEY SNOW including: an eye turn, cataracts, astigmatism, far- or nearsightedness. It can often go undetected in children because they don’t know differently and may not complain. Especially if only one eye is affected, your child may continue day-to-day activities unhindered with no signs or symptoms. Treatment varies depending on the cause and may include glasses, vision therapy (eye exercises and/or patching), and/or alignment surgery in some cases. Early detection is critical so eye exams are recommended starting at six months of age, then at three years, and annually thereafter. To ensure your child develops their best vision possible, book an eye exam with a Doctor of Optometry today.

ASK A FINANCIAL ADVISOR
Q A
I have a small amount of life insurance through my work’s benefit package, why should I consider purchasing more?
For group life insurance the amount of coverage would be a set face amount usually 1-2 x annual Salary or a flat amount like 25ADAM JUNG 100k. Keep in mind, group life insurance Licensed Advisor ceases when you quit, get fired or retire, and typically even if you continue to work after 60 the face amount of coverage will most likely be reduced. With a personal policy you choose the face amount anywhere between $25,000$20,000,000 and how long you have coverage. 10, 20, and 30 year terms are available; you can even lock in coverage for your entire life. You may require additional insurance to pay off your mortgage or other debts (e.g credit cards, student loans), fund funeral expenses and cover taxes payable at death. This would ensure that someone else like your spouse, parents or children aren’t stuck footing the bill.

Q A
Do the new mortgage rules for buyers affect only CMHC insured mortgages?
No, anybody applying for a new mortgage will undergo the new mortgage ‘stress test’ as of Nov 30th. Being able to qualify for monthly payments at the 5 year closed DERRICK THORNHILL rate regardless of the rate you will actually Park Georgia Realty pay monthly. Roughly calculated, it will reduce a buyer’s borrowing power by about 20% regardless of the value of the home being purchased. What does this mean for New Westminster? In the long term, this new rule will make New Westminster look even more affordable than our neighbours in Burnaby, North Van and East Vancouver. In the short term (next 30 days), it will throw a little heat on those buyers who are currently looking to purchase in New West (and not wanting to go live further east in Surrey or Port Coquitlam) if they don’t have a contract in place before Dec 1st. I expect an active November for all real estate in New Westminster!

ASK A SLEEP EXPERT
Q A
Can an Oral Appliance help my sleep apnea?
An Oral Appliance is most successful for people who snore, and those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used as combination therapy with CPAP in severe cases. The mouthpiece is worn over the bottom and top teeth, like a mouth guard, and gently repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep. By pushing the jaw forward, it creates more space in the throat and stabilizes the lower jaw and tongue. It is always important to discuss whether an oral appliance would work for you, with your physician or Specialist. CanSleep works with a Specialist, who invented a custom oral appliance used by sleep apnea patients worldwide. Consultations are free and a better night’s sleep awaits you. CanSleep also provides an over the counter mouth piece, which targets snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea.

Clubs are booming at NWSS Cayley Dobie

It’s a record-breaking year for the Hyacks – but this record has nothing to do with athletics. This year, NewWestminster Secondary School has a whopping 51 clubs available to students, and last week, these clubs all had a taste of the spotlight at the school’s Club Day event. The event, which was the first big gathering of the school year, was organized by Grade 9 to 12 students in the leadership class.Turnout was so good it was standing room only in the school’s library and adjacent courtyard, Christine McNulty told the Record. “It was hundreds of kids. If you looked down the halls of Pearson and Massey wing there was nobody there, they were coming through the library,” she said. This is the most clubs the school has had on offer in recent memory, McNulty said.There is everything from a bike club and board games club to first aid club

and garden club, plus athletic clubs and countless philanthropy clubs, including Free the Children, which raises money for youth in ThirdWorld countries, and peer tutoring club, a club run by students for students. “The neat thing about NewWestminster is we’re a city with a small-town mentality and having the one high school, you’ve got everything under one roof and that’s definitely an advan-
tage and a benefit,” McNulty said. Grade 12 student Olga Radivojevic is no stranger to the clubs at NewWest secondary.Two years ago, Radivojevic found herself at club day looking for a group to join. She chose a handful of clubs that sounded interesting, went for it, and today she is co-president of the Interact Club. She encourages everyone to join a club because it of-

fers a sense of community day-to-day school doesn’t. “One of the reasons I also really liked Interact is because I felt like I was part of a team, and I really liked that atmosphere and feeling that belonging,” Radivojevic said. “It makes school more interesting.” Radivojevic added she’s stuck with Interact because it allows her to contribute to both her school community and the community at large.

Community OUR PAST
New West in 1981 was a city poised for change Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
In the fall of 1981, New Westminster was a city on the verge of change. Many projects were in the planning stages and underway in the Royal City. The 71-acre B.C. Pen site had been closed since 1980, and plans were being brought forward for housing on the property. A new rapid transit system connecting with Vancouver was in the works, and a major bridge crossing downstream was being talked about.The entire city waterfront was about to undergo a monumental change from business and light industrial use, to allowing public access, housing and recreation. Douglas College was to get a new home downtown and move from its current “temporary” location at Eighth Avenue and McBride Boulevard. Even the venerable old
snag puller, the Samson V, had been acquired by the city and was being considered as a tourist attraction. On the political front, the Royal City’s mayor was Muni Evers with a council of Tom Baker, Joe Francis, Mal Hughes, Bill Lewis, Betty Toporowski and Ken Wright. Bill Bennett was premier and our MLA was Dennis Cocke. Our MP was Pauline Jewett. Many of today’s businesses were around 20 years ago, but in 1981 you could also shop at the Westminster Mall,Woodward’s department store,Wosk’s Furniture, Nixon’s Book Store, Karoway and Mironoff Furs, and Johnston Shoes. Cartwright Jewellers was there, but on Sixth Avenue not Sixth Street.You could buy a car at Fogg Motors downtown or New Westminster Datsun at Sixth Avenue at 12th Street. Jackson Printers was one of the favourite printing firms.
For a meal out there was the Copper Kettle Buffet (Royal Square), the Bench and Gavel (next to the “new court house”), Sommerfield’s Boiler Room (Sixth Avenue near Sixth Street) and the King Neptune (on the waterfront at the foot of Eighth Street). For a movie after dinner, you could choose from the Westminster Mall theatres, the Columbia, the Paramount, and, just across the Pattullo Bridge, the Westminster drive-in. Communities constantly change and this has been the case of the past 20 years since the Record joined the media ranks of the city. If you have lived here for years then you would certainly recognize the town of 1981, but if you are new to New Westminster, then the city we have just described might seem very foreign. This column first ran in the Record’s 2001 20th anniversary special section..

RISE Sunday encourages interaction with seniors Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
HelpAge Canada and its partners are asking people to help make a difference in the life of a senior as part of the RISE – Reach Isolated Seniors Everywhere – awareness campaign. The idea is that on Sunday, Nov. 6 people will reach out to a senior – a simple act that can brighten their day. “A million Canadian seniors say they are lonely and have limited social interaction. Fall is a busy time of year with school, work and extracurricular activities filling the calendar, leaving families, friends and neighbours with fewer hours in a day and seniors with more alone time,” said a press release about RISE. “The time change, decreased sunlight and anticipation of a snowy and icy winter can
increase a senior’s risk of social isolation and loneliness.” The RISE Sunday campaign offers some suggestions on how folks can reach out to seniors, whether it’s a parent, a friend, a neighbour or a relative. “This is a campaign that started back east and they reached out to us.This is the first time we have helped out with this initiative and I think it’s something that we can really build on,” said Brian Dodd, interim executive director of the Seniors Services Society. “A big concern of ours has always been seniors and seniors’ isolation. Isolated seniors can quite often have more health concerns, barriers to accessing things in the community. It can really change their outlook on life. Physical, emotional and mental health issues can develop.”
The Seniors Services Society is suggesting Nov. 6 be a day where people “reach out and touch someone” and check in on somebody, whether it’s a family member, friend or neighbour. “Maybe there are some folks in your apartment building that you know are elderly and you haven’t seen with a lot of guests. Just knock on the door and introduce yourself, maybe take them a potted plant or something – just make them feel they are connected,” Dodd said. “Even if it’s just to say, ‘Hi, let’s share a coffee or tea sometime.’ Or, ‘Hey, I’m in 2B, make sure if you ever need anything knock on my door.’” Once the initial contact has been made, people may want to follow up and contact the senior again. “I think what you are Continued on page 51

Visit newwestrecord.ca
Say hello to a senior on Nov. 6 Continued from page 50 going to find is once you’ve done it once or twice, you’re going to want to keep doing it.You are building relationships,” Dodd said. “At first it’s like a cold call.You are nervous and hesitant to do it, but once you get to know this person you have built a relationship.” The Seniors Services Society has a number of programs aimed at isolated seniors, including the “friendly phone calls” where volunteers call local seniors to say hello and check in. “It’s an opportunity to
connect to that person. Our phone callers find themselves talking about their pets, their families. Some of them have taken that next step and said, ‘Hey, let’s get together for coffee this afternoon.’ It’s a connection to community and that’s really important,” Dodd said. “This (campaign) is taking it to a new level – it’s encouraging everybody to play a part in that. I think if this catches on, I’m sure it will, I think it’s something that is going to be an important tool for those of us who are working with seniors.” For more information
about the Seniors Services Society, visit www.seniors servicessociety.ca or call 604-520-6621. In addition to the Seniors Services Society’s offerings, local seniors who want to get out and connect with others don’t have far to go. Century House in Moody Park offers a wide range of workshops, clubs and activities appealing to all interests, including bridge, carpet bowling, art, singing, writing, ukulele, crafts and Scrabble. Other clubs include the Parkinson’s Support Group, the Low Vision Group and the
Seniors Gay Straight Alliance.

WORKING WATERFRONT “Site of proposed highrises on New Westminster waterfront,
west of SkyBridge and Pattullo Bridge. New Westminster Quay is at the top of the picture” – that was the photographer’s description of this photo taken in the late 1980s. The land east of the market was once destined to have 13 highrises, but the city purchased part of the waterfront and built Westminster Pier Park. Just last week, staff presented council with a report in which two towers are contemplated on the site next to River Market and Fraser River Discovery Centre (which you’ll noticed hadn’t arrived on the waterfront when this photo was taken).

Century House gets set for craft sale Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Century House’s annual craft sale and tea is a good time to connect with friends and to get started on holiday shopping. Various groups at Century House, including the pottery, quilting and craft groups, are getting involved in the sale that’s taking place on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 10
a.m. to 2 p.m. at 620 Eighth St. “They have all the crafts – tea cosies, toques, gloves, pot holders, scarves,” said Shelly Schnee, recreation programmer. “The Century House Artists are doing small, original paintings and are selling them for $25. Some of them are really talented.” The sale includes pottery, books, jewelry, hand-quilt-
ing, variety crafts, a bake sale and a white elephant sale. “Because of the time of year, they sell Christmas stuff,” Schnee noted. “We promote it as an opportunity to buy gifts for your family.” Century House is accepting donations for the white elephant and craft sale from Saturday, Oct. 29 to Friday, Nov. 4 at noon.
“It’s not clothes, but it’s white elephant items, books and jewelry, children’s toys,” Schnee said. “We get a lot of Christmas stuff, which is fun.” The folks who volunteer in the kitchen are coordinating the tea in the tea room, which costs $7.50. The craft sale and tea is one of the main fundraisers for the Century House Association.

Taking care of your teeth is important for overall health and quality of life at any age. Keep your teeth, gums and dental work clean and maintained. Brush daily, especially at bedtime, Change your toothbrush at least once every three months or when it shows signs of wear. A frayed or worn toothbrush is much less effective at removing plaque from teeth and gums. If your toothbrush bristles wear out quickly, use less pressure—brushing too hard can damage your enamel and your gums. With a soft toothbrush or electric toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Please floss!

Big quarter lifts Hyacks past Rams NewWest secondary answers big test to lead upset of No. 1 Mt. Doug Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
From one extreme to another, all within the span of a half. The New Westminster Hyacks didn’t impress coach Farhan Lalji with their start to last Friday’s battle against the defending B.C. champion Mount Douglas Rams, ranked No. 1 in a B.C. AAA football poll. But a 30-point outburst was just the answer as No. 4-ranked New West toppled the Rams 45-19 at Mercer Stadium. The win pumps New West into a threeway tie with Mount Doug and Notre Dame for first place in the Western Conference, at 3-1. “Our first half was equally as bad as our second half was great,” said Lalji of the match-up where the Hyacks brought a Jeckyll and Hyde-like persona to the turf. “In the first half (Mount Doug) couldn’t run on us at all but they found the end zone and kind of put us on our heels a bit.” After Lucas Sabau’s 36-yard run put New West in an early lead, the Island visitors gathered some momentum through the air – despite not having the services of standout quarterback Gideone Kremler, injured during the junior game earlier against the jr. Hyacks. Kremler’s backup, Grade 10 pivot Dante Carbone, hit receiver Josh Lucas for a pair of majors to prop Mt. Doug in a 13-6 lead near the halfway point. On the last play of the half, New West appeared to answer back with a long TD pass but it was called back due to a holding penalty. Instead of trying a longer Hail Mary play, Lalji had Rory Anjos kick a 42-yard field goal to cut the gap to four. In the third quarter, the hosts reclaimed the lead when Prento Durigon blocked a Rams’ punt that teammate Liam Mckay brought down in the end zone. Quarterback Kinsale Philip scored on a one-yard run and hit Durigon with a 28yard TD strike to up the squad’s lead to 3919 with a quarter to play. Trew Dancey, who counted a pair of twopoint converts, wrapped up the offence with a one-yard line-crasher in the fourth frame. As impressive as knocking off the defending provincial champions was, the New West coach was all about keeping it in perspective. “It’s one of those weird games where they were without their best player and we came out flat as a group,” said Lalji. “At the half we had a few guys step up and ask us coaches to put it on their shoulders, and we changed some matchups...The main adjustment was handling (Lucas) and we did that in the second half.” New West was without two of its stronger players – defensive back Ben Tjernagel and running back Josh Olango. The Hyacks head to the Island to face 1-4 Belmont on Friday.

Royals hungry for provincial repeat Douglas College women look to punch ticket to second-straight soccer nationals Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.cal
Momentum is only what you make of it – just ask the Toronto Blue Jays. While October has been a smashing success for the Douglas College Royals women’s soccer team, nothing will matter if that success doesn’t translate into a berth into the PacWest provincial championship final at Burnaby Lake West complex this weekend. “I think everyone’s anxious, that’s a good word for it,” remarked Royals coach Chris Laxton. “We’ve had a good run (in October) but we’re eager to get (the playoffs) going.” As the regular season champions, and defending B.C. champs, Douglas faces No. 4 Capilano Blues on Friday in a key showdown, with a 12:30 p.m. kickoff.
While the New Westminsterbased squad has reeled off six straight victories – after opening the season 1-2-2 in September – what matters is winning Friday’s contest. B.C. will be sending two teams to next month’s Canadian Colleges Athletic Association championships in Montreal, so a berth into the final ticks off the biggest ‘get’ of the year. That they’ve been on such a run and have excelled to the tune of 7-2-3 this year has been a bit of a surprise for Laxton. “I didn’t think we’d finish first, not with the turnover we experienced from last year,” he noted. “In September we didn’t start the way we would have liked, but a few of those we probably deserved a better fate.” Against Capilano, the Royals are 2-1-0, with the lone blemish a 1-1 tie six weeks ago.
Their most recent encounter came last Sunday in a game that meant little to either team, as both were locked into their positions. Douglas trailed much of the game but turned the tables with a strong push in the second half to prevail 4-3, bolstered by a hat trick from first-year forward Samantha Frketich. “She scored the winning goal with a good run, beat the defender and just chipped the ball past (Cap’s) goalie with about 10 minutes to play,” said Laxton. “The true character of the team came through to get that one.” Last year’s march to the nationals relied a lot on veterans, including two-time PacWest MVP Marni McMillan.With those players moving on, others have stepped in and filled the void, including captains Sam Kell and Michelle Wessa, league
scoring champion Andrea Perrotta, runner-up Mikayla Hamilton, and netminder Alexa Gazzola. Gazzola, as a first-year Royal, has taken on the key role as ball stopper and led the PacWest with a 0.57 goals against average and four shutouts. “I’ve known her forever and coached her on four teams,” said Laxton. “She’s grown tremendously and adjusted to the pressure every step of the way. Alexa has the trust of everyone on this team.” A win would catapult Douglas into Saturday’s championship game, 5 p.m. against either Vancouver Island or Langara, at Burnaby Lakes. The men’s provincials is also at Burnaby Lakes, with No. 3 Douglas taking on No. 2 Vancouver Island, Friday at 3 p.m. The championship final goes Saturday at 8 p.m.

Daniels rink falls short in Vernon The Royal City Curling Club’s Sarah Daniels rink was no match for the Corryn Brown rink of Kamloops, falling 8-1 in the final of the 16th Rick Cotter Memorial Junior Curling Classic in Vernon last week. The final saw Brown exact some revenge for Daniels’ victory a month ago at the Anita Cochrane Memorial Classic in New West. The Cotter Memorial saw the Brown team walk off with $2,200 for

New West scoops up lacrosse award There was plenty to celebrate last week at the B.C. Lacrosse Association’s Annual General Meeting, where some hardware was handed out. The New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association was presented with the Leon Hall Merit Award as the Minor Box Lacrosse Association of theYear. The annual award goes to the minor association, regardless of size, which strives to foster and promote the ideas of the BCLA and works to improve, pro-
mote and develop all facets of the game within the community. It is the third time in the past nine years that the New West association has picked up the honour – previous times were in 2008 and 2011. “Thank you to all NWMLA players, parents and volunteers for helping our association win this fabulous award,” president Rich Catton said in a press release. “We couldn’t do it without all of you.”
Corneil nets POW prize
The season is but two weeks old, but there’s been some good early signs for the Douglas College Royals women’s volleyball squad after they improved to 4-0 on a pair of victories over the Capilano Blues. Leading the way was second-year libero Claudia Corneil, who deliverd a team-high 18 digs in the first victory, then chipped in 14 digs in the second match. For her efforts, the Surrey native was named the PacWest women’s volleyball player of the week. She sits third overall in the PacWest league, averaging 3.71 digs per set. Burnaby’s Kelsi Boroevich, with Capilano, sits tied for fourth overall in service aces and seventh in digs.
first, while the Daniels rink earned $1,700 for second. Brown, the 2013 Canadian junior champion, advanced to the final by besting Coquitlam’s Heather Drexel, while Daniels advanced with a win over Winnipeg’s Christine MacKay. Daniels is looking at building towards a repeat appearance in the Canadian junior women’s national championships, after placing second last year to Nova Scotia.
On the men’s side, the Langley rink of Tyler Tardi doubled up on New West’s Jordan Kiss 8-4 in the eightrink competition.The win was worth $2,000 for the Tardi team, while Kiss picked up $1,500. To get to the final, the New West rink edged Thomas Love of Vernon. Winning the boys consolation final, in fifth spot, was New West’s Matthew McCrady, with an 8-4 win over the Monette rink from Vernon.

I wona Pierogies 806 Twentieth Street, New Westminster, B.C. Iwona Pierogies restaurant on 20th Street in New Westminster has been receiving nothing but rave reviews on social media. Some Facebook users give Iwona Pierogis five-out-of-five stars, posting comments like “The pierogis here are phenomenal! Homemade, perfect taste and texture. Honestly, this place is my new favourite.”
See In-Store For Details or Visit
Another comment reads “The real deal! If you want an authentic pierogi, you gotta eat here.”
LifetimeEyecare.ca
Business has been booming ever since Ryszard Madziag and Iwona Mieszkowska opened the doors to their family-owned restaurant last November. “Every month, we do much better than the last. We gave many say, ‘Oh, its just like coming to grandma’s house’” Madziag told the Record.“I think people enjoy the very intimate and warm atmosphere.” The dining area is modest, with five tables that could seat 15 people. Antiques are scattered around the room, including a painting from 1892 and an old sewing machine. The menu itself has something for everyone.You can choose from a list of 16 different pierogies, like sauerkraut and mushroom and potato and onion. If you don’t fancy dumpling or cabbage rolls, there’s also a variety of salads, paninis and soups.The red borscht has become the No. 1 seller! Everything is made fresh in house, so you can expect authentic food. “We wanted to bring a pierogi place to New Westminster because there’s nothing really like this around here,” Mieszkowska said.
614 6th Street New Westminster (604) 522-1120 “NO EXTRA FEE” Eye Exams for all Seniors & Children Voted #1 Best Eyeglass Centre Every Year Since 2008 A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau Since 2009
When asked about naming the business after his partner, Madziag smiled and explained Iwona Pierogies has a second meaning.“I want a pierogi. Get it?” Located at 806 20th Street, the restaurant is open six days a week, closed on Mondays.
Owner - Iwona Mieszkowska & Ryszard Madziag
In their fifties and sixties, the couple has no plans to retire anytime soon. “This is our hobby,” Madziag said.“We want to share our pierogies with everyone, not just the Polish people, but with those who have never tried them.” For more information call 604-524-4144 and to view the full menu, visit iwonapierogies.ca
