Change leaves family in limbo New heritage home policy wasn’t in place when Johal family bought their 1937 Queen’s Park house By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal City hasn’t exactly rolled out the welcome mat for a family wanting to make a home for themselves in New West. Ravinder Johal and his family recently moved across the country from Oakville, Ont. to be closer to family, buying a house in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood in May 2016 and taking possession in August.They’ve determined the house “is not in livable condition” and doesn’t meet their family’s needs from a safety or financial perspective. “The house in a number of ways is unsafe,” Johal told council Oct. 3.

High school consultations kick off Monday

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A moment many people in New Westminster have been waiting for is finally here. Starting Monday, the district will kick off consultations for the New West-

minster Secondary School replacement project. From Nov. 7 to Dec. 5, residents will be able to have their say on the new high school and learn more about the project. As part of the process, the school district has planned two open houses. Both are drop-in,

and no pre-registration is required. There are also two smallgroup meetings planned in November.To participate in these meetings, folks need to register ahead of time as space is limited.These meetings are expected to last about two hours.

Those who can’t make it to either event can provide feedback through a new website the district will unveil on Monday.There, people can download materials related to the project, including a discussion guide and feedback form. People can also send written sub-

missions by mail or call the district directly. NewWestminster’s muchanticipated high school replacement project was approved for funding by the provincial government in June. The $106.5-million project is expected to be com-

plete by fall 2019 and will house more than 1,900 Grade 9 to 12 students. The community has been calling for a new high school for decades, but because the existing school, which is really two schools, was Continued on page 8

Six-storey rental building proposed in Sapperton

B.C. Green Party leader names her as party’s education critic By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

It’s official. Jonina Campbell will be running for the B.C. Green Party in next year’s provincial election. Last week, Campbell, who is serving her second term as school trustee, stepped down as chair of the New Westminster school board, effective immediately, while she pursues the New Westminster MLA seat. “I think we all recognize the tremendous amount of work that you’ve done in the past three years,” fellow trustee Mark Gifford remarked at the Oct. 25 school board meeting. Campbell’s campaign was officially set to begin

Wednesday, Nov. 2 at an event at El Santo restaurant, after Record deadlines. B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver, currently MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, was expected to be at the event to appoint Campbell as education critic for the party. Campbell first announced her intentions to seek the Green Party nomination earlier this month. She said it wasn’t until someone suggested she put her name forward that she even considered the decision. “The more I looked at it, the more I realized the Green Party has the best plan for B.C.,” Campbell said in an earlier interview with the Record. In the wake of Campbell’s

resignation as board chair, trustee and current vicechair Kelly Slade-Kerr will take over leadership of the board as acting chair. By her side will be Gifford, who was acclaimed to the position of acting vicechair at last week’s school board meeting. Both SladeKerr and Gifford will hold on to their acting positions until December when the school board will hold elections for a new chair and vice-chair. For more on Campbell’s entry into provincial politics, go to www.newwest record.ca to read Theresa McManus’ previous interview with the Green Party candidate.

A six-storey building is proposed next to singlefamily homes in Sapperton. Wesgroup Properties has applied for a rezoning and development permit application so it can build a sixstorey development at 145 to 201 East Columbia St. Council has directed staff to work with the applicant on potential impacts on view corridors and shading, interface with the single-family homes and public engagement. Evan Allegretto,Wesgroup’s director of development, said the project is directly across the street from the Health Sciences Associ-

ation building at the Brewery District. “It is designed with the same look and feel as the Brewery District buildings on East Columbia. The project is currently 100 per cent long-term secured rental building and exceeds the family friendly housing bylaw,” he said of the building that would contain five three-bedroom units. “As it is currently designed, it would contain 70 rental units, with retail at grade.” The site is currently zoned community commercial districts (low rise) and service districts, and would be rezoned to a comprehensive district. During preliminary discussions with neighbours,

Allegretto said the number one issue raised was the building’s proposed height. “If we lower the building, we will be forced to convert the building from rental to strata,” he said. “This is a conversation we will have to do in the future, once we get more feedback from the neighbourhood.” Allegretto said residents also want to have more input into the building’s design.Wesgroup will hold a workshop to get residents’ input about what can happen at the site. “We have a lot more work to do and a lot more feedback to receive before we can even think about a final building design,” said Continued on page 8

City Homeowner says city process has hurt his family Continued from page 1 “There is asbestos and mould throughout.We will not put bedrooms in the basement with small windows, which to us is a major safety concern if there is ever a fire.The house as constructed is not safe for a family with young children.” Because they don’t feel the home is safe, the couple wants to demolish their 1937 two-bedroom house at 222 Fifth Ave. and build a new home. “We are really looking to build a quaint family residence that complements the character of the community.We are not looking to build a home that looks out of place,” Johal said. “The process that has come into place has been quite discouraging, frustrating and upsetting.We are questioning whether this is a very fair process.” In June, city council approved a one-year heritage control period that requires owners of all single-family homes built before Dec. 31, 1966 to apply for a heritage alteration permit (HAP) for demolitions or renovations. Last month, council approved a number of recommendations related to the Queen’s Park heritage control period, including approving new criteria for evaluating demolitions, new building and renovation heritage alteration permits, requiring a heritage assess-

ment for these projects and convening a review panel to consider the demolition applications and new building heritage alteration permit applications. That process, said Johal, has a financial, emotional and logistical impact on a family that’s hoping to make a home in NewWest. He noted the family is now carrying a mortgage on a house where it cannot live and renting another property. Johal, who said he bought the house when prices were at an “all-time high,” said newer homes have been built in the neighbourhood in recent years, but his family is facing significant obstacles in doing the same thing. “We respect the homes in the area and the heritage character of many.We also believe that we have rights as property owners, particularly as this process was not known to us or in place prior to the time of purchase,”

he said. “The Realtor was not aware of the HAP process and we bought well before the HAP process came into play.The hope was that we would be able to commence the building process toward the end of the calendar year, potentially moving in time for fall 2017.” With a daughter going into kindergarten in the fall and a son going into daycare, the couple is anxious to move into the neighbourhood where their kids will attend school. “It is not just developers and greedy people who are purchasing in the area,” he said. Council approved a heritage control period in June to give the city one year to consult with residents about the creation of a heritage conservation area for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. Some council members believed that meant a one-year moratorium was

in place regarding demolitions of heritage houses in the neighbourhood, but staff said council legally needs to consider each application. “We will comply and follow the new process, but based on what I’ve heard at council meetings I’m not sure how much faith I have in the process to give fair consideration to each heritage alteration permit on its own merits and circum-

Should it be saved? The new owners of a house at 222 Fifth Ave. question the fairness of the city’s oneyear heritage control period. PHOTO THERESA MCMANUS

stances,” Johal told council. “It seems to us as though the rules keep changing. There seems to be roadblock after roadblock.We do not see this as a demolition, but building a home; not a house being developed or flipped, not building any suites, but a home that will be ours for many years to come.” Council referred Johal’s concerns to staff.

Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city is trying to protect the heritage character of the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. “It is a new policy for the city,” he said. “I recognize with new policies sometimes you do end up with difficult growing pains and difficult processes to start, but I think we have now laid out the groundwork for that process.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

Stewards or advocates, or a combo? Kelly Slade-Kerr, a New Westminster school trustee, gingerly waded into the Vancouver School Board mess last week. Slade-Kerr put forward a motion calling on the provincial government to hold byelections in Vancouver and the North OkanaganShuswap (the other board under public administration) before May 30, 2017. She made references to democracy, but fell short of lambasting the province for

replacing the elected trustees with a public administrator. The school board didn’t pick up the hot potato though, and, in fact, opted to move the motion to its November meeting. The Vancouver school board was the most outspoken and openly political of current school boards. It drew a line in the sand and decided to fight. In the past, New Westminster has come pretty

close to the same position, but it has always stepped back from the full-on battle, or had administrators who could work the back channels and diplomatically negotiate matters. It can be a very thin line between being an advocate or a steward for education. In Peter Milburn’s “Forensic Audit of Board Expenses and Review of the Vancouver School Board” report released last week, he writes: “There is an inher-

ent conflict in the outlook of an ‘advocate’ versus a ‘steward; advocacy is most successful when it can be demonstrated that more funding is required to successfully provide any defined program. On the other hand, stewardship involves the appropriate oversight, planning, and management of the available resources to successfully achieve the entity’s strategic goals. However, the more successfully the resources available are man-

aged, the harder it is for advocates to demonstrate that more funding is required.” Some might call this a “chicken and egg” quandary. If school boards did receive what they consider truly adequate funding, would they continue to be “advocates” rather than “stewards.” And if school trustees are elected based on their party affiliation eg: NDP or Liberal, with a baked-in position on education funding, how can they

not call themselves partisan advocates? Milburn writes, “There are examples of school districts in similar jurisdictions where trustees elected on a party slate successfully carried out their appropriate … responsibilities. It would appear that the most important determinant of success is the will of the trustees to work together.” We’d like to think he’s referring to New Westminster. Only time will tell.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

‘Consent’ is up for discussion What could turn out to be one of the defining issues in the upcoming provincial election is coming into view, and it’s not one of the usual topics. Consider this question: should First Nations possess “consent” over any law or “administrative measure” that may affect them, no matter if a duly elected provincial and/or federal government wants to enact such a law or measure? The B.C. Liberals and the NDP have starkly different positions on this issue, which has emerged because of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The declaration is aimed at strengthening the human rights and cultural protection of indigenous peoples, but it contains some controversial clauses that some (though certainly not all) think give First Nations a de facto “veto” over pretty much everything that may affect them (such as any resource development, like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, LNG projects, mines, dams etc.). The declaration specifically mentions “consent” as something that is required for First Nations to give before something that affects their community proceeds. Lawyers seem to interpret the true meaning of this language in different ways, with some arguing it bestows onto First Nations “veto rights” on all kinds of things, while others reject that argument and insist any First Nations would

have to win a court ruling that clearly grants them true consent. In any event, NDP leader John Horgan has pledged to embrace and adopt the entire declaration (he disagrees that it creates a veto), while Premier Christy Clark says it would indeed create a veto and has said there is no way her government would adopt resolutions which in her words would allow a small community to dictate the economic policies of the majority. The two leaders could not be further apart on an issue that will play out differently in different parts of the province. It will also reveal the divide that exists among First Nations themselves when it comes to things such as resource development and how the issue of “consent” can be confusing for some of those projects. For example, a majority of First Nations directly affected by the PNW LNG project actually support it, but a much smaller number is opposed. However, media coverage leaves the impression of wholesale opposition, which simply isn’t true. I’ll leave it to Clark and Horgan to argue the fine points of this issue come the next election. Unless they come to disagree on the concept of balancing the government budget on an annual basis, there is a much wider gulf between them on this issue than most others. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Can Pattullo Bridge withstand vibrations?

Changes planned for Brunette interchange

Dear Editor: Living at the north end of the Pattullo Bridge in Victoria Hill for the past 11 years, I have crossed it hundreds of times and also went through the frustrating lane closures/ repairs this past summer. Driving southbound over the bridge now I notice that the I hope it lasts from north end to until we get a the crest of the bridge new bridge that the surface is not the usual smooth surface but rather quite a rough surface. Given that the average car weighs about 4,000 pounds and semis 80,000 pounds, the vibrations created by the rough surface cannot be good for the recent repairs and/or the overall structural integrity of the bridge. I hope it lasts until we get a new bridge! Barry Slocombe, New Westminster

Queensborough ferry deserves a trial run Dear Editor Credit and kudos to those members of our city council who are prepared to rethink the Q2Q crossing options in light of recent cost estimates for the bridge. The $39 million recently mentioned in your paper seems much more realistic than some of the figures offered by proponents of the scheme. The “ferry” option sounds like an option worth pursuing. The docks are there. A shortterm lease (two years?) could test the viability and actual usage and demand for this crossing. I suspect the casino might be interested in supporting a link to their area. I hope all readers, especially taxpayers, will give this some thought, and encourage mayor and council to examine all reasonable alternatives. Chris Dumfries, New Westminster

Let’s help make the sidewalks safe for all Dear Editor New Westminster is a beautiful place, full of unique and wonderful things. But it has one feature that isn’t so good. It is unsafe for pedestrians. Anywhere else in Canada, traffic on sidewalks is conducted for the safety of the pedestrians. In New Westminster, anything goes: speeding cycles, skateboards, crazies on motorized scooters and wheelchairs. They take over the sidewalks. The only way to survive is to always be on the alert and to swivel your head on a regular basis. The elderly and frail are fair game. It is a truly frightening experience for us to walk along Sixth Street in uptown New West. Let’s do better than this! Let’s keep our sidewalks safe and peaceful for everyone. Mavis Elliott Walker, New Westminster JOIN THE CONVERSATION

David Black I agree with our Mayor, without seeing the precise plans it’s very difficult for Sapperton residents to understand what these options mean for our neighbourhood. I think there’s widespread concern about traffic and plans to alleviate that would be welcome. However, I think plans that would increase traffic problems in the neighbourhood would be very contentious. Dave Lundy Look.. .some proposed changes... time for NIMBY WESTMINSTER to rise up in opposition. New West.. where time and traffic stand still. Or.. “stuck in the 50s”

Queensborough gets shortchanged by city alejandro alcantara YES, we get the short end of the stick... the rest of the city gets the Anvil, the waterfront park, the revived front street, the amenities around Canada Games, manicured Queens Park and all the other amenities... we get to be told... you are not important... stay on your side of the River... (it is too expensive to to connect you to the city - SORRY)... and we hear this as city taxes go up... way up... How is it that only after owning a property in Queensborough for more than 20 years it is only now Ewen Street looks residential like the rest of New Westminster? - before that it looked post industrial apocalypse! How is it that after citizens agreed to allow a Casino in our vicinity on the condition of having the Q2Q bridge built (and the community centre that you refer to) the bridge still does not get built?. How do you think the citizens of Queensborough feel (new and old) when money from the Q2Q bridge gets transferred to help finish constructing the Anvil and we are now told “the bridge is too expensive”. How do you think people in Queensborough feel when again and again and again through action and inaction Queensborough remains an afterthought for City Hall. Queensborough is a booming community and a bridge makes business sense...

Blogger said: Please be kind on Halloween Betina Wheeler Wonderful post. I can so identify with the too old piece. I remember one Halloween where a not very nice woman on Queens Ave ruined it for my group of young middle school girls. One was tall, several were new to the country from Africa and had never experienced Halloween. I knew it would probably be their last time trick or treating. She was extremely judgemental with them. I had to bite my tongue, but to this day when we see her it is what we remember. All over a couple of pieces of candy...

High school plans proceed Continued from page 1 built on the site of the Douglas Road Cemetery, which operated from 1860 to 1920, things have moved very slowly. Part of the reason is the complex nature of the site, which contains two protected areas – one has an official cemetery designation and a second is protected under the Heritage Conservation Act.

The parcels of land designated as a cemetery are well documented and have been identified with clear boundaries.The conservation area, meanwhile, does not meet the strict criteria needed to be designated a cemetery site. Under the Heritage Conservation Act, the district must ensure that any burial grounds within the conservation area remain

untouched. The school district and the province have committed to ensuring no part of the new school is built on any known burial grounds and that construction will take place outside of the protected areas. Part of the replacement project will also include a memorial to those buried at the former Douglas Road Cemetery.

planning committee has discussed the project and raised issues such as the interface with adjacent properties and streetscapes, and the need for consultation with the neighbourhood. “It checks a lot of boxes as far as rental and as far as family-friendly housing, but I think it’s something the community has to talk about a little bit because there are some proximity concerns and some density concerns,” he said. “I am glad you have developed this charrette plan to have a discussion with the neighbourhood about how it’s going to fit.” When a project of this type is proposed next to single-family residences, Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said it directly impacts those residents but it can also set a precedent for the area. “I think it is really important the community comes out and tells us whether they want us to go forward with this proposal or not,” Puchmayr said.

Fringe show comes to the Heritage Grill A one-woman show that toured the Canadian fringe festival circuit this summer is coming to New Westminster in November. Devon More’s Berlin Waltz, inspired by a bicycle trip along the route of the Berlin Wall, will be playing at the Heritage Grill every Wednesday in November. “Berlin Waltz is the true story of a young woman’s political awakening as she retraces the 100-mile route of the Berlin Wall on her bicycle,” says a press release. “Or maybe this Cold War cabaret is just a clever piece of propaganda designed to awaken the masses to their own power?” More shares true tales from her trip through the former border zone and an-

ecdotes collected over 1,000 days of pulling pints and pouring schnapps in an East Berlin dive bar. Her solo show features slam poetry, storytelling, satire and songs, including an original soundtrack. She constructs a “wall of sound” onstage using an orchestra of acoustic instruments and an electronic looping station. BerlinWaltz is on Nov. 9, 16, 23 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the back room at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St.There’s no cover charge. Donations on a paywhat-you-can basis are welcomed. You can find out more about More and her show at www.devonmoremusic. com.

Political journey: Devon More’s Berlin Waltz is on at the Heritage Grill every Wednesday in November at 7:30 p.m. The one-woman show, fresh off the Canadian fringe festival circuit, was inspired by a bicycle trip along the route of the Berlin Wall. It incorporates slam poetry, storytelling, satire and songs, with an original soundtrack by More. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Chantal Kreviazuk onstage in New West this Friday Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

She never considered a career in music until suffering a serious motorcycle crash in 1994. But she started writing songs during her recovery, and Chantal Kreviazuk has since gone on to become one of Canada’s bestknown and most recognized singers and songwriters. Kreviazuk is bringing her Hard Sail tour, in support of her new album, to Massey Theatre this weekend. She’s

onstage Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. The tour marks the release of Kreviazuk’s sixth studio release, her first new album in six years. Since her platinum-selling debut album Under These Rocks and Stones in 1997, she’s released a string of hits that include God Made Me, Surrounded, Feels Like Home, BeforeYou and In This Life. As a songwriter, she has penned hits for a host of big-name artists – Pink, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Drake and more. She has been nominat-

ed for six Juno Awards, with wins for Best Female Artist and Best Pop/Adult Album in 2000, and she’s also the mother of three sons with her husband, Raine Maida, frontman for Our Lady Peace. If you don’t have your tickets yet, act fast.Tickets are $46.25 (including GST and service charges) and can be bought at 604-5215050 or online at www. ticketsnw.ca. TRIBUTE TO THE RAT PACK This one’s for all who love the Rat Pack. Singer Steve Maddock

is offering up a concert this Saturday as part of the Music at Queens concert series – a Salute to the Rat Pack. Accompanied by a jazz trio, Maddock will offer up a tribute to the songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. (And yes, if you thought you recognized his name, that is the same Steve Maddock you remember from his turn as Daddy Warbucks in the Royal City Musical Theatre’s 2014 production of Annie).

Photo exhibition reveals river life Winning photos of the Fraser River are on display in a new exhibition at the Fraser River Discovery Centre. The centre has announced the winners of its annual *click* photos of the fraser competition, which were unveiled on Sept. 23 as part of RiverFest 2016. The top photographers this year were Linda H.Y. Hegland, Craig Robison and Janet Kvammen, whose photos won in the River Wild, River at Work and River’s People categories, respectively. Nine other photographers who received honourable mentions will also have work featured in the new exhibition. “We were thrilled with the number of entries we had this year,” said Kathleen Bertrand, exhibit coordinator at the Discovery Centre. “Our jury had a difficult job in narrowing down the 97 entries to just 12 photographs for the installation.” Bertrand noted that each photographer had a unique interpretation of the contest’s “time” theme. “Some of the final photographs show ducks swim-

ming through the water, a family playing in a shoreline park and cars being unloaded at the dock,” she said. “Presenting each of these single moments together in a whole is an important commentary on the many ways each of us interacts with the Fraser River.” The *click* contest debuted six years ago and continues to be a key part of RiverFest. New this year is the design of the exhibition in a brand-new gallery. “With the redesign, winner’s photographs are uniquely displayed on stands that showcase the images at varying heights and angles,” explained exhibit coordinator Michelle Peters. “This dynamic presentation speaks to the huge variety of unique perspectives that the photographers – and our visitors – have of the Fraser River.We wanted to showcase not only beautiful photographs, but how the river is shaped by our individual stories.” To see the winning photographs, stop in to the Fraser River Discovery Centre at 788 Quayside Dr. (next to River Market).

Community

Knitters invited to join poppy-thon events Group invites everyone to join in on gatherings to help create a poppy project for Remembrance Day Knitters are invited to a poppy-thon to help commemorate Remembrance Day. A group of local knitters recently spearheaded a community art project that involves knitting or crocheting poppies that will be placed onto a large blanket and displayed at a venue in New West. Susan Robson of Cosy Yarns in River Market learned about the initiative through a recent article in the Record and decided to host a poppy-thon. “If anybody wants to pop down, that would be great,” Robson said about the event taking place on several days this week. “Anybody can come at any time, as long as they are a knitter and they can knit and purl, and cast on, cast off.They have to be able to do that. If they need

a little bit of help just getting started, I am fine with that.” Knitters (and crocheters) must bring their own knitting needles or crochet hooks. CosyYarn will provide the poppy pattern and has some yarn that people can use.

Anybody can come at any time

“We have yarn here or they can bring their own,” Robson said. “I have a limited quantity (of red), so if we run out, they’ll have to start bringing their own.We have a huge ball of green for the centre piece and some black scraps.” Robson hopes knitters will help the Poppy Project

make up to 500 poppies for the blanket. People are invited to attend poppy-thon gatherings at CosyYarns (on the second floor of River Market at 810 Quayside Dr.) on Thursday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Tuesday, Nov. 8 from noon to 7 p.m. “They can just drop in,” Robson said. “They can knit in the studio or they can knit at the tables outside in the community square.” Robson said the poppies are about three inches across and include a green centre and tiny black flecks. “It took me probably half an hour, three-quarters of an hour by the time you finish doing the little fiddly stuff like the centrepiece,” she said. “The actual poppy itself takes about half-anhour, I would say.” Reena Meijer Drees and

England in May.They estimate it takes about 10 poppies to cover a square foot, so 500 poppies would create a five-by 10-foot blanket. The size of the final product depends on the number of poppies donated to the Poppy Project, but Mei-

IN THE LIBRARY

Get informed about college and university at the library Will college pay off? As deadlines approach to apply to college and university, it’s important to have access to high-quality information.To make an informed decision about where and what to study, here are some resources that high school students, parents, and returning students may find useful. The Work B.C. website at www.workbc.ca contains the kind of information previously offered through a number of separate reference books, all presented in a dynamic format.This rich resource provides key information regarding financing your education and the employment outlook for major occupations. In addition, you can find descriptions of job duties, average salaries, typical career paths, and more.

Some recent books on higher education also stand out.

… it’s important to have access to high-quality info

Will College Pay Off? by human resources expert Peter Cappelli is a compellingly-written, cool-headed analysis of the decision to invest in further education.While written from an American perspective, the book debunks a number of widespread media narratives about higher education, making this a valuable aid to long-term thinking in uncertain times. Cappelli is particularly surprising on the topic of job-specific programs vs. general degrees. A related Canadian per-

spective is on offer in How to Succeed at University (And Get a Great Job!) by Thomas R. Klassen and John Dwyer.The approach of this book is to explain the range of skills that are needed to do well as a student. At the same time, the authors write how mastery of these skills is one of the most valuable assets you can bring to the job market. Finally, for an additional corrective to anecdotal information, try Lesson Plan by William Bowen and Michael McPherson.Written by two economists and former deans, this concise book takes an unflinching look at the evidence around various problems in higher education, such as affordability, equity, and teaching quality.The authors then explain how a number of these ills are misdiagnosed and suggest how some of the true problems can be overcome.

Fundraiser helps local families Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Family Place is hoping community members will support its efforts to provide services to local families with little ones. Family Place is holding a burger and beer fundraiser at the Paddlewheeler Pub in River Market on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6 p.m.Tickets are $25 each and include a burger (beef, chicken or veggie) and beer (or wine or highball). “We will have lots and lots of beautiful silent auction items,” said Marjorie Staal, executive director at New Westminster Family Place. “It’s our biggest fundraiser. It’s for the running of our programs, so our program stays open.” Each month, an average of 170 families access New Westminster Family Place’s programs, including parenting programs, parent/child Mother Goose programs and drop-ins at the main space at 101-93 Sixth St., Lord Kelvin Elementary School and the food bank. “I think it would be wonderful if the community could support our programs, support Family Place’s children,” Staal said. For tickets, call Staal at 604-520-6621. For more info on Family Place, check out the New Westminster Family Place page on Facebook or go to www.nwfam ily.bc.ca. NEW WEST ROTARY CLUB HELPS THOSE IN NEED Some low-income residents have better vision thanks to a recent initiative of the Rotary Club of New Westminster. In cooperation with local social support agencies, the club recently sponsored a free eyeglass clinic and provided free eye exams and glasses to about 14 people in need. Eye exams were

conducted by eye care professionals, aided by Douglas college students, Rotaract and Rotary members as well as the Salvation Army. Along with eye care and glasses, attendees of the free eyeglass clinic enjoyed some coffee and treats donated by Tim Hortons.

MCINTYRE MOVES ON Friends, family and community members recently gathered to honour a woman who’s made her mark on New Westminster. Alana McIntyre, a nominee for Citizen of theYear in 2014, recently moved to Abbotsford, leaving the city she’d called home for 71 years. “My heart will always be in New Westminster,” she told the Record. “It was very hard – lots of tears. I put it down to a new beginning.” Friends like Leona Green at Greens and Beans Deli in Sapperton couldn’t let McIntyre move without making sure she knew just how much they valued the contributions she’s made to the city through the years, including roles on city committees, the Hyack Festival Association and the Group of Five. Green served up a farewell party at her deli on Sept. 25, where guests gave McIntyre “a trip down memory lane” by sharing stories of their times together. “It was quite wonderful,” McIntyre said. “I volunteered all my life. I haven’t done it to get a pat on the shoulder. I always thought you should give back to your city.” Attendees included Mayor Jonathan Cote, councillors Lorrie Williams and Chuck Puchmayr, past councillors Calvin Donnelly and Betty McIntosh, McIntyre’s family and community members. “It’s very nice,” McIntyre said of her new community. “People are very friendly, everybody says hello or

and view the art on display in the new space on 612 Victoria St. in downtown New Westminster. Community Living Month, which was marked in October, celebrates the achievements of people with developmental disability as fully participating members of society and celebrates the organizations and businesses, like PotteryWorks Stu-

dio, that make a difference in the lives of people living with developmental disabilities. “I am so impressed by the many talents of these local artists,” Stilwell said in a press release. “There are many wonderful one-of-akind pieces for exhibit and purchase.” Deidre Blackmore, art facilitator at PotteryWorks,

In related news, city council declared October as Community Inclusion Month in New Westminster at its Oct. 10 meeting. Faith Bodnar, executive director of Inclusion B.C., congratulated New Westminster for being “the most advanced” city in B.C. by being the first community in the province to proclaim October as Community Inclusion Month.

Community OUR PAST

Newspapers reveal city’s past Stories and advertisements help delve into many aspects of daily life 100 years ago Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

We use old newspapers to gather information, find and research stories, seek out family backgrounds, and add simple colour and depth to our description of the local area in the past. The following bits of town colour are taken from a single newspaper page in the New Westminster paper, The British Columbian, in mid-August 1915. There were often little pieces of news about the governing of the town. In this case from 101 years ago, it appears that a bylaw was to be initiated by council to deal with a new form of passenger service – a jitney, a multi-seated motor vehicle, truly a recent innovation.This short item shows that things were moving slowly: “Again held over – The projected bylaw to regulate jitney traffic appears to be in

a state of suspended animation.Today the city council once more laid it over for a more convenient season.” The fishing industry was a vital component of the economy and news of its successes was always well received – in this instance a large amount of canned salmon. “The steamer Westham … docked at the CPR wharf yesterday with 1,000 cases of salmon from the Scottish Cannery, Steveston, to be shipped to the east.” A Professor Chandler was in town and gave a lecture on beer and its value. A short article noted his approval of the item and pointed out a way to get your own supply. “He gave it his unqualified endorsement and his words showed that he had made an extensive study of this valuable food beverage. Phone for a case of our brand from your dealer or we deliver direct. Our

number, 75L,Westminster Brewery.” Not sure what these items were, but we’ll try to find out a bit more. “Oil of Joy mops; Come in and let us show you these mops. You will be surprised how they will save you labor. Oil of Joy wool mop, circular or triangle, $1.50.” Oil of Joy polish was also available at 25 cents a bottle. This page of the paper featured two pieces about Mr. and Mrs. H Gregg who lived at 513 14th St. in the city. One article talked of a surprise party that occurred “when a large party of their friends called on

them to say farewell on the eve of their departure to the Old Country. Mr. and Mrs. Gregg will leave the city on Friday morning to connect with a steamer sailing from Montreal to Glasgow.” It seems that this was not just a simple trip to see the homeland, as the second article on the page started off with: “Fred Davis will sell by public auction the household furniture and 40 head of poultry at Mr. Gregg’s, 513 14th St., on Wednesday, Aug. 18, at 1:30 sharp.” Mr. and Mrs. Gregg were, clearly, heading home and leaving the banks of the Fraser for good. Could be an interesting story there.

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Q A

How Do I Overcome Exercise and Diet Plateaus?

You weigh less, people are starting to take notice and more importantly you feel more energized & healthier. Then the plateau arrives and your progress grinds to screeching halt. Here’s LUKE RAMNATH how to push past it. 1. Upgrade Your Workouts: Try training your entire body each time you step into the gym rather than focusing on individual muscles. 2. Stay Active on Your Days Off: Aim for 30-60 minutes of activity - not in the gym! It could be a walk in the park, a game of basketball maybe a bike ride. 3.

ASK AN ACUPUNCTURIST

Q A

What were those round, purple marks we saw on Olympic competitors?

Its called cupping therapy, and it is a treatment modality in Chinese medicine. A plastic cup with a vacuum pump is placed on the skin. The suction stretches the skin, the fascia and increases blood circulation. Better blood DOREEN HILL flow is the body’s way of healing. I frequently combine cupping therapy and massage in my acupuncture treatments. The increased blood flow is beneficial to boosting the healing response. The suction from cupping draws blood from your vessels into your tissues. The body thinks it has been injured, so it jumpstarts an inflammatory response, which activates antibodies to the area to heal it. Cupping is effective in treating various conditions like low back, neck and shoulder pain, muscle cramping, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. Call me and book an appointment to discover the benefits of cupping. Acupuncture, cupping and other Chinese medicine treatments are covered under Extended Health Care Plans.

STEPHEN GRAF

At common law, when two or more companies amalgamate, the assets and liabilities of the amalgamating companies become those of the amalgamated company. Therefore, an amalgamation usually does not result in paying capital gains tax, sales taxes, or transfer fees.

However, an amalgamating company might have entered into a lease or other contract that prohibits it from amalgamating without the consent of the other parties. In addition, the articles or shareholder agreement of one or more amalgamating companies might restrict amalgamation. Moreover, an amalgamation brings about a ﬁnancial year end for the amalgamating companies. Therefore, accountants usually ask for an amalgamation to occur on a certain date. This column is legal information, not legal advice. If you or someone you know wants to amalgamate two or more companies, please contact me.

DOREEEN HILL ACUPUNCTURE

y business is about helping people restore their health, reduce or eliminate pain and move them along their wellness journey. For some people, pain keeps them awake at night. They’ve forgotten what it feels like not to have pain—all they want is the pain to stop so life can resume.

My goal is to help them reach their desired health objectives through the use of acupuncture and other techniques. The life force that flows through everybody can be affected by numerous factors; diet, emotions and dayto-day living. This energy is our life force, its our spirit; it’s what makes our heart pound. And it’s that key ingredient to life that we lose when we die. Acupuncture is all about moving the energy, opening blockages and rebalancing the body to regain health and wellness. Everyday life can literally disrupt our energy flow; the stress of meeting deadlines, being stuck in traffic, a poor diet, and a lack of exercise can all have adverse effects on our energy flow and this will eventually effect our well-being. People in the workforce find themselves out of balance due to workplace expectations and environmental factors. Just think of the flow of energy like the circulation of blood. If you have a lack of energy flow to a part of the body, you’re going to have a reduction in the function of that part of the body; which can eventually lead to more imbalance and possibly chronic disease. Acupuncture puts that energy imbalance back into alignment. This realignment can have powerful holistic effects; it can boost immune system function, eliminate pain and tension, plus so much more. Daily activities can be enjoyable again. The solution is to bring back balance in all aspects of life including exercise, healthy eating, work, fun, and rest. Acupuncture can help you in this process. My job is to restore balance - and then the body takes over and does the healing. The body is programmed for health and not sickness. Acupuncture is covered by Extended Health Care. Call today to schedule a free consultation)

ASK A DENTURIST

Q A

Are Sore spots common with Dentures?

Yes, it is normal to get sore spots with your new dentures. As the dentures “settle” they will put uneven pressures on the gums and create sore spots. This is most likely to occur within PATRICK MARCELO R.D. the ﬁrst 2-3 weeks. If during this break in period you feel you must remove them to relieve the sore spots, call your denturist for an adjustment appointment.

When coming in for an adjustment appointment, be sure to wear your dentures during the 24 hours prior to the appointment. If you leave them out it will be harder to see the sore spots and this will prolong the “break in” period. 2015

QUESTIONS FOR MATTHEW ROBSON Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Matthew Robson has been riding the rails for a decade – and couldn’t be happier. A conductor with Southern Railway of B.C. and a documentary filmmaker, the Vancouver resident will be attending the 2016 Vancouver Train Expo this weekend at the Forum building at the Pacific National Exhibition. Record reporter Theresa McManus had a chance to talk to him.

WHEN DID YOUR INTEREST IN TRAINS BEGIN? It probably began when I was just a baby. I have an older brother. My dad got him into trains and had a model train set. We have family pictures of me at probably three months old watching the model trains go around with my older brother and dad. We grew up about a block away from the infamous Arbutus line in Vancouver. We got to see the train go by once every day so that probably fuelled the passion as well.

YOU ARE A CONDUCTOR FOR SOUTHERN RAILWAY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. WHAT DOES A CONDUCTOR DO? He pretty much is responsible for the train. You have a crew that’s three people – an engineer, a conductor and a brakeman. He is responsible for the safe movement of the train. He is kind of like the boss, deals with all the paperwork and the yardmasters, is in charge of getting the rail cars delivered to their appropriate locations.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT YOUR JOB? The thing I like most about it is it is different every day. You are always doing something different. You get to work outdoors, which is my other favourite thing. You are physically active. It’s almost like an adventure. You are riding off the side of rail cars and travelling on a train. I really like that aspect of it, the travel aspect – I know we don’t go very far. One of my favourite jobs we used to do was out between Abbotsford and Chilliwack. You got to go for a nice train ride. That was my favourite thing that I got to do.

YOU ARE ALSO A DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER. CAN YOU ELABORATE? That kind of started with the Arbutus line as well. Me and my brother growing up, they announced in the late ’90s that they were going to abandon the line. My brother and I decided we should try and film it and

make a documentary on it. We were just kids, we didn’t know what we were doing but I always liked that idea. Later, when they announced the Royal Hudson was going to be back in service in 2007 – our family rode on that train every summer so the Royal Hudson was a special memory for our family – so to hear that they were going to bring it back to steam, I was inspired to make a documentary about the event happening on its first run of its return to steam. I love photography and filming. I was inspired to keep doing it and capturing the different moments around B.C.

THE VANCOUVER TRAIN EXPO IS COMING UP – WILL YOU BE THERE? Yes. Our company, it’s a full proprietorship I have called Elevation Media, will have a booth there selling our documentaries. We have a new documentary out on the railway I work for on our Fraser Valley operation so we will be debuting that this weekend and have our other movies for sale. TheVancouver Train Expo, MetroVancouver’s biggest train show, takes place on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For info, visit www.vancouvertrainexpo.ca.

The one-person commuter vehicle is now available for the American viewing public following its debut in Vancouver last month. The three-wheeled vehicle, which can travel up to 140 kilometres per hour, will be manufactured at the company’s facilities in New Westminster and Vancouver. “It has appeal for diving enthusiasts, practical commuters and the environmentally conscious,” Henry Reisner, president of Intermeccanica Inc., said in a press release.

Instead of colas or soft drinks, which were frequently consumed with meals in Chinese restaurants in North America, Wong has teamed up with artisanal brewers/distillers Central City to pair each course with one of their beverages. “Tea is usually served at a family-style meal at home,” Wong said in a press release. “However, in China there as a strong and ancient tradition of serving locally brewed alcoholic beverages with food in the Tea Houses, which were the res-

DONATION MEANS MORE BOOKS Fraser River Middle School’s library just got a healthy boost thanks to the local Rotary Club. Principal Debbie Jones received a $5,000 donation from the Rotary Club to be used to buy additional books for the school’s library after she sent the philanthropy group a wish list of items. “They chose the books because … literacy is one of their areas of focus, so that goes right along that line,” Jones told the Record, “and

Royals take silver lining berth to nationals Both Douglas College men and women’s soccer teams head to nationals as wildcards

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger sang it, but the Douglas College Royals lived it on Saturday. The women’s soccer team didn’t get what it wanted but ended up with what they needed after falling 1-0 to the Vancouver Island University Mariners in the PacWest championship final in Burnaby. As defending champions, the Royals were adamant in driving for that repeat crown, but the end goal was to earn a berth to the national championships in Montreal, which begin next week. By topping the Capilano Blues 2-1 in overtime on Friday, Douglas secured a guaranteed spot – and while the wildcard berth wasn’t their choice, it was an opening they will gladly take. Taylor Wettig’s marker in extra time stood up as the semifinal winner. It proved to be the team’s last goal of the tournament. “We pushed so hard… We never gave up and pushed right to the end,” said Royals co-captain Samantha Kell. “I think that was the best way to lose a final. “Next if we get (VIU) at nationals it’ll be different.” The Mariners’ Madeline Dawson supplied the game’s only goal in the 29th minute, as the two teams played a close-to-the-chest battle. While Douglas’ best chance may have come midway through the second half, on a free kick from Andrea Perrotta, which sailed just above the crossbar, they didn’t relinquish anything until the final whistle. “We were unable to connect as we did the last time we played them,” remarked coach Chris Laxton, referencing a 3-0 win two weeks earlier. “We’ll work on that.We’ve got gamechangers who were just unable to do it (Saturday).We’ll be great going to nationals.” Last year, the provincial title launched them into the nation-

al semifinal and an eventual fourthplace finish. That experience gives those returnees a reference point – although Douglas’ roster is nearly split even among returnees and first-year freshmen. For co-captain Michelle Wessa, the nationals will provide a real test of adjustment for everyone. But going in as underdogs won’t deter them from their goal. “It’s really exhausting and the new girls are going to have a little wakeup call,” said the fourth-year defender. “I think we’re taking the precautions to help us avoid that but its definitely exhausting.” The coach said that the new players will help buffer the club from over-hyping the challenge ahead. “They are young and naive.The last group we had all they wanted to do was get to nationals. Now all they expect to do is get to nationals,” said Laxton. “We’re not there to make up the numbers, we’re there to win, but I think it will be a great experience because a lot of these players are so young.” Both Kell and Wessa were named to the PacWest All-Star team. The nationals start Nov. 9 when seventh-seeded Douglas faces No. 2-ranked Northern Alberta Ooks. * The Douglas College men’s soccer team climbed the charts and finished second at the PacWest nationals on Saturday. Although they fell 4-2 to the Capilano Blues in the final, the squad will venture to Fort McMurray, Alta., as the sixth seed in the eight-team CCAA national championships. Trailing 3-0 after just 30 minutes, the No. 3-seed Royals put it into overdrive and closed the gap in the second half on tallies by Devon Jones and Rajan Purewal.The Blues iced it with a late goal. A 3-2 victory over Vancouver Island in penalty kicks, with Juggy Bassi supplying the decisive strike, earned Douglas College the berth into the final.

Hyacks move yard sticks with ﬁrst place target Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Hyacks are captains of their own fate – to a point. The senior AAA football team moved an inch closer to locking up a top-two Western Conference spot, and the first-round playoff bye which goes with it, by besting Belmont 34-21 last week on the Island. While they sit at 4-1-0 and tied with Notre Dame for top spot in the conference, New West’s road isn’t clear enough for head coach Farhan Lalji to feel comfortable – yet. “It’s huge and I can’t understate the value of this game,” said Lalji as he prepared his squad to face 3-2 South Delta in the final game of the regular season on Saturday. “I loathe putting too much emphasis on one

game and making it a pressure situation, but to be in (a top-two) spot makes a world of difference.” Winning the conference comes with all kinds of benefits, including the bye week and an easier first round playoff opponent. Finishing second also nets a bye. Right behind New West and Notre Dame are Vancouver College, South Delta and former No. 1-ranked Mount Doug, all at 3-2, with a final weekend which sees Notre Dame hosting VanCollege, and Mount Doug facing winless Carson Graham. The combinations aren’t limitless, but enough to keep a coach uneasy. “We could see a five-way tie for first, which would be unprecedented,” he said. “There’s no doubt this is the most competitive conference in (B.C.), and that means

every team has gone through the grinder.” Last week’s win had some of that element, but after surrendering the first touchdown the Hyacks responded with 20 points, including a 95-yard kickoff return by Ben Tjernagel which launched the second half. New West’s Trew Dancey counted a pair of majors and rushed for 96 yards, while Lucas Sabau put up 116 yards rushing on 18 carries, including a TD. For Sabau, that gives him 706 yards on the year, fifth overall – despite missing the opening game. Quarterback Kinsale Philip completed six of 15 pass attempts for 93 yards. On defence, Connor Pattison counted seven tackles, giving him a league-best 66 on the year. “(Pattison) has taken his game to another level,” said Lalji. “He’s a bright kid and

I think sometimes he goes in thinking too much, getting in way of that instinctual part of his game.” Although not completely healthy, the club has made strides with some of the walking wounded and Lalji points to the potential bye as a good balm for that issue. But injuries are not only a New West problem, he notes. “South Delta’s record is misleading – they are a dangerous team.They had a lot of injuries early in the year and just recently got (running back) Grant McDonald back, who is arguably the best player in the province.” New West is aiming to end the regular season on a four-game winning streak. The kickoff goes 12:30 p.m. at South Delta.

Royal City cruises past White Rock

Ending on a high note, the Royal City Hyacks ran roughshod over White Rock 42-0 to wrap up the junior bantam regular season. Making his return to the lineup, quarterback Jordan Freeland promptly found Andros Dancey and Ethan Ginogino with touchdown passes, while Gabriel Bastos collected a pair of majors on running plays. Also scoring ground-based TDs for the Hyacks were Graham Armstrong and Dancey. Defensively, Aiden Sattler and Freeland each hauled in an interception, while Luke Perizzolo added a QB sack. ATOM It was a game of big offensive plays, and while the Royal City Hyacks counted many, South Delta tallied more in a 46-33 decision in atom football. Scoring four times for the Hy-

acks was Benicio Hageleit, while Nathan Hillmann added a TD as well as a number of tackles. Demonstrating steady blocking skills were Amun Thiara and Rocky Wang, while Jake Gardiner continues to grow on defence. FLAG In a close contest, the Hyacks Black squad pulled out a dramatic win, edging White Rock 14-12. Dylan Jones scored on a 40-yard rush and George Paterakis added another long TD. Standing out with strong defensive play was Jai-shon Llewellyn, who also counted a key twopoint convert. Team Orange, meanwhile, put up a valiant fight before falling 12-7 to Westside. Scoring for the Hyacks was Gavin Domaas while Christony De La Cruz and Chase Domaas did stellar work on defence.

Douglas drops opener

The Douglas College Royals men’s basketball team fell to the Capilano Blues 82-69 in the PacWest season opener last week. Up 16-14 after the first quarter, Douglas couldn’t keep pace with the Caps, who led 39-33 at the half.
