SkyTrain neighbourhood would see highrises under new official community plan By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The neighbourhood around the 22nd Street SkyTrain station will be growing up in the decades ahead. As part of the official community plan update, the city has been considering land-use designations for that area. On Monday, council supported the draft land-use designations for the land around the station and directed staff to create the next draft of the land-use designation map that would include: ! The properties below the SkyTrain line (between 20th and 22nd streets) would be designated residential – highrise. ! The properties on the south side of Seventh Avenue (between 20th and 21st streets) would be designation mixed-use – highrise. ! The city will designate two Continued on page 3

Up Front PAYING TRIBUTE

Super Duper Show honours Paul Leahy The whole room smiled when this NewWest musician performed Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

Four years ago, music critic Allan MacInnis accused New Westminster guitarist Paul Leahy of trying to start a one-man hardglam rock revival with his latest album, All Messed Up. “Leahy’s sneery, smirky, snarly, bitch-in-heat vocals and glowing guitar tone perfectly suit the form, wrote MacInnis in a Georgia Straight review, “…and you get the feeling that the stage is where this material would really shine.” Decked out in stage clothes, complete with distinctive lightning-bolt peaked cap, Leahy did shine on stage, according to fans and fellow musicians, who characterized his style as most reminiscent of mid’70s English glam rockers Mott the Hoople and David Bowie. “Hello Polly (an earlier iteration of Leahy’s band, Polly) played their debut gig at the Heritage Grill sandwiched between two sets of China Syndrome,” wrote China Syndrome’s Tim Chan. “As soon as Paul ap-

peared in his full regalia and plugged in, I swear the whole room was smiling. They totally blew us off the stage.” During 35 years as a rock guitar player, Leahy won a lot of respect from fellow musicians and fans in the Lower Mainland indie music scene. Today his guitars stand silent in a room at the Laurel Place Hospice in Surrey along with a family photo and a couple of colourful images of him onstage. Leahy was diagnosed with malignant and inoperable oral cancer in October; he moved into hospice the day after his 58th birthday. This month, eight Vancouver bands will gather at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver for “The Super Duper Show” – a concert to pay tribute to the New West musician and raise funds for his family, wife Kimiko Karpoff and son Finn. Silenced by cancer, Leahy the rocker won’t be there. But there’s another side to him that lives on at hospice and will live on in the hearts of his family, one that

ROCKING IT: Paul Leahy, shown left with son Finn in 1997 and, right, performing with No Fun at The Cultch in the mid-1990s, has been diagnosed with inoperable cancer and is being honoured by fellow musicians at a tribute concert this month. PHOTOS KIMIKO KARPOFF has coexisted with his stage persona all along and sometimes been at odds with it, according to Karpoff. “Part of the challenge was his humble and selfdeprecating manner,” she said. She tells of one time after a set when Leahy had changed out of his Polly garb into his street clothes and was standing near the back of the club. Not recognizing him, an audience member asked Leahy if he’d seen the amazing guitar player who’d just been on stage. Off the stage, Leahy was a stay-at-home dad who had worked for some time

Highrises in the future Continued from page 1 blocks as residential – multiple-unit buildings. A report notes this is seen as a way to transition from medium or high-density housing forms to the lower density townhouse form. ! The land on 20th Street that’s currently designated as commercial in the official community plan (OCP) would be designated as commercial in the new plan and would not allow residential development. These ares would be identified for service- and autooriented commercial uses. ! The residential block bounded by 20th and 21st streets and Hamilton Street

would be designated as mixed-use – highrise.This would allow up to two residential or office towers on the block, with commercial at grade. (Council supported this plan, Option B, rather than Option A, which contemplated a mixed-use – midrise designation.) “This scenario allows a greater number of people to live in close proximity to the SkyTrain station,” stated a staff report. “The higher population near the station also better supports the amount of commercial proposed, since there will be more customers in the area.This makes it more likely that an anchor tenant could be attracted to

the area.This form of development would also likely result in a higher amenity contribution, which would be put toward amenities in the area.” “I think that this particular piece of the OCP is potentially one of the most challenging, but also exciting because we could see quite remarkable change there over several years,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “We have to keep reminding ourselves that this OCP will take us to 2040, which is a long way off. I think we are certainly going in the right direction.” For more coverage of the OCP consultations, go to www.newwestrecord.ca

Part of the challenge was his (Paul’s) humble and self-deprecating manner.

as the assistant manager of his New Westminster apartment complex. When Finn, now 20, was little, his rocker dad spent hours sitting with him in the park across from the little fire hall near their place.

“They’d sit with their juice boxes and snacks, watching the firefighters wash the trucks and check equipment,” Karpoff wrote in a recent blog post. The Super Duper Show, however, is about paying tribute to Leahy’s musical career, which included time with the Toys and No Fun in the early years and then the Transvestimentals, Pleasure Suit, Hello Polly and, finally, Polly. The concert, on Friday, January 27, will feature the seldom seen Pointed Sticks, Polly Suit (members of Polly and Pleasure Suit), SLIP~ons,The Furniture, Swank, China Syndrome,

The New Black,Tayt Modern and a performance by Finn. Available at the show will be a limited edition “Polly Package Box Set” ($35) with three CDs, postcards, photo cards and other memorabilia spanning Leahy’s career beginning in the 1970s. Tickets ($15) for the The Super Duper Show are available online or at tinyurl.com/SuperDuper Show.

A PILOT PROJECT

Digging into solar plan New Westminster is preparing to plant a garden that will generate energy for years to come. The city’s electric utility is proposing to create an urban solar garden pilot project at the city’s operations yard at 901 First St. Community members would be able to buy a solar panel and use the energy generated by the panel as credits toward their power bills. “We can put roughly 170 to 180 solar panels, subject to getting approval, on the structure,” said Rod Carle, general manager of the electrical utility. “That would be the start.Then if it is ful-

ly supported we can grow it from there.” Before proceeding with the pilot project, the city would want to have a commitment for about 75 per cent of the panels.The program, which would be available to customers of the New Westminster electric utility, would feed into the city’s electric grid and become part of the electrical utility’s capital assets. “The assets are actually owned by the city, but the power generated through that panel is owned by the customer that purchases it,” Carle explained. “We are looking at the panels having

a 30-year lifetime. Roughly around year 20, the panel is paid for and the last 10 years is all uptake.” Council supported the electrical utility’s plan to proceed with the urban solar garden pilot project. Staff plan to report back by the end of March with more detailed information and dates for public events to discuss the plan. Carle said he’s received calls from residents in highrises who’d like to put a solar panel within their unit but found it challenging and expensive to do. – ByTheresa McManus

City Charges laid in major drug bust

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Approximately $1 million worth of illegal drugs was seized as part of multi-jurisdictional investigation led by the New Westminster Police Department. The seizure follows a 10-month investigation into drug trafficking by the local police department’s street crime unit.The investigation began in March 2016 with the help of Canada Border Services Agency and RCMP from Surrey, Coquitlam and Chilliwack, according to a press release from the New Westminster Police Department. Charges were recommended following the investigation, and on Jan. 6, Crown counsel charged 41-year-old Ron Israel Markowitz with a laundry list of alleged crimes connected to trafficking, including two counts of using a forged document; two counts of importing/exporting controlled substances; one count of possession for export; four counts of traf-

ficking in a controlled substance; and 10 counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking. The alleged crimes took place in municipalities across the Lower Mainland, including New Westminster, Coquitlam, Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, according to online court documents. An arrest warrant was issued for Markowitz, whose many aliases include Ronald Massey, Richard Paul Nelson, Curtis Coutts, Ronald Marks, Ronald Martin and Ronald Mann. He turned himself in on Wednesday, Jan. 11, noted the release. Officers seized about $60,000 in cash, several hundred pounds of marijuana and an undisclosed quantity of other drugs. Police estimate the street value of all drugs seized to be approximately $1 million. “These kinds of investigations take a lot of experience and expertise from detectives, and our street crime unit along with our partnering agencies have successfully recommended multiple drug offence charges,”

Huge haul: Approximately $1 million worth of drugs, including several hundred pounds of marijuana, was seized as part of an investigation into drug trafficking in the Lower Mainland. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Drug offences negatively impact our communities at many different levels

acting Sgt. Jeff Scott said in a press release. “Drug offences negatively impact our communities at many different levels, and we’re very

impressed with the exceptional work that was done by our investigative team.” Markowitz was released from custody with several conditions and is scheduled to return to New Westminster Provincial Court on Feb. 1. The police press release does not say where Markowitz resides, where the drugs were seized or where he turned himself in, or how the investigation began. The police department did not return calls by press deadline.

Opinion OUR VIEW

It’s too bad poor children can’t vote It was an easy prediction. We knew Christy Clark was going to raise the homeowner’s grant ceiling – the only question was by how much. Clark had already given young voters an election campaign present, now she’s playing to what she hopes is her base – folks who mostly sit squarely in the comfortable middle class. Her recent announcement that the province will

provide an interest-free down payment for firsttime homebuyers may have been met with skepticism by political pundits and economists, but for young people who are desperately looking for a way to get into the housing market, it drew cheers. The high price of housing in the Lower Mainland is hitting both young families and established older families. For the younger ones, they are looking to

get a foothold in the market, while older folks are just trying to stay in their homes despite rising taxes and sundry other costs. The high cost of housing has become the topic du jour at water coolers everywhere in the Lower Mainland.To not tap into the angst when you’re running to keep your premier’s seat would be political malpractice. And Clark is no amateur where politics is concerned.

So let us just consider for a moment if the topic du jour became children living in poverty.What if the fairly comfortable middle class stopped whining about paying $200 per year more in taxes, or why their side street hasn’t been plowed, and considered kids who don’t get three good meals a day in B.C., one of the richest provinces in Canada? What if everyone simply said, like they have about

housing, that something must be done about kids in poverty? Poverty has unfortunately become labelled as an NDP supporter’s concern and one that is left to social worky activist types. Clark understands that a campaign with promises to help poor kids might just remind people of how little the province has done. And then there’s the cold political fact that not a lot of poor kids vote.

But if we all raged on about children living in poverty as much as we rage about our taxes and snow and TransLink, perhaps Clark would act. And, yes, we know, it’s not always so black and white. But it’s sure worth a try, and now that the snow is gone, we really need something new to whine about, so let it be poor kids.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

New Democrats in a tough spot For a party that has a razor thin margin of error if it expects to win the upcoming election, the NDP can’t be happy about a number of developments in recent days.The NDP needs to not only hold onto every single seat it won in the 2013 election – including several won by very narrow margins – but, on top of that, it needs to take about 11 seats that the B.C. Liberals won in that election. Translation: every single potentially winning seat is precious to the NDP.Which brings us to a couple of ridings the NDP needs to win, but where internal party squabbles may dash the party’s hopes if things are allowed to fall apart. The riding of Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island has been beset with internal party strife during a messy and bizarre nomination process. One candidate quit, citing harassment and the party’s refusal to deal with her claims, but more problematic is the fact the party’s riding president resigned his post and now intends to run as an independent. Ian Morrison quit because he was blocked from seeking the riding nomination because he is a white male.The NDP’s policy is that in ridings where a male steps down as an MLA (as is the case in Cowichan Valley) then another man (or, specifically, a white man) cannot replace him as the candidate. Morrison’s independent candidacy could be quite the problem for the NDP. Presumably he be-

came riding president because he has some support among local New Democrats, and some are expected to vote for him in May. The riding used to be considered a fairly safe NDP riding, but the party’s support declined by more than 2,200 votes in the 2013 election compared to the 2009 vote, and much of it seemed to go to the Green party candidate. The Greens are running a well-known local activist this time around and should continue to pick up ground, and the B.C. Liberals, who lost by 1,400 last time, are likely licking their chops at the prospect of a further vote split. Meanwhile, the party is apparently facing more potential internal woes in the riding ofYale-Lillooet (another riding it likely needs to pick up from the B.C. Liberals). Former longtime NDP MLA Harry Lali, who enjoys high personal popularity in the riding, wants the nomination, but elements of the central party establishment don’t want him anywhere near it, given his previous support for the Kinder Morgan pipeline and his propensity for criticizing the party. We’ll see where this one goes. Throw in the party’s anti-Kinder Morgan position (which will likely greatly hamper the NDP’s ability to make inroads in ridings north of Hope), and that margin of error is getting ever narrower. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Burr laid to rest at home Actor Raymond Burr, known for his title roles in the TV dramas Perry Mason and Ironside, was quietly laid to rest in Fraserview Cemetery in September after the 76-year-old died of liver cancer in California. Born in New West, Burr wanted to be buried in the local family plot. Before finally laying him to rest, relatives who had brought his remains to Fraserview had to outwait a suspected National Enquirer photographer who had been hovering in the area all day.

No one’s acting on homelessness: Readers respond to letter

Sidewalks are a big hazard with strollers Dear Editor The New Westminster sidewalks are finally getting cleared, however, a select few homes are just doing the minimum clearing, which is causing more danger for people who don’t walk or those with small babies and need to use a stroller. I took my seven-month-old to the pool. I took two different routes and both had at least five houses who did not shovel the city walkway but they did their own. Or they shovelled just enough to walk but not enough to take the stroller through safely. I had to go onto the road more than once (with vehicles around because of the time of day). Those who didn’t shovel but put sand down were actually fine to go on. Not icy but a little bumpy, but manageable. I have complained to the city about many different addresses. One house did just enough for one person to walk but I had to take the buggy onto the road, otherwise it would have fallen over forwards. Both sides of the “shovelled” area were halfway up my leg. It’s a huge hazard, and everyone has had enough time to clear or make it safe. My brother has even broken his leg in ice this year, just walking to his car. I have slipped with my daughter in a carrier so I would rather take the buggy with all this ice. The city needs to do more to get people to follow the law with weather like this. Sarah Alicia Thomas, New Westminster

David Black I want to believe Dan actually does care about the plight of people like the man he ran into, however, Dan needs a basic lesson on civics. Social services, mental health, and health care generally are the responsibility of the provincial government, not the city. He should be taking up the issue, rightly I think, with Christy Clark and the BC Liberals. I think Dan would have a very hard time finding any city council anywhere that has done more within it’s powers to make communities work for all it’s citizens, the wealthy, the middle and the poor.

Instead, he should be doing everything in his power to help ensure a change in Provincial Government this May. Debbie Horrobin It’s awful when stuff like this happens to homeless people. But has the reader done anything for the homeless other than complain? Has he offered Dan I think he called him, has he offered him a warm bed, food and a job? No? Then quit complaining

Boys lobby for HPV vaccine coverage Mo Corston-Oliver I had my two sons immunized at my own expense. *Every* child should be immunized against this virus. Not immunizing boys doesn’t create the “herd immunity” we need because a) some men have sex with men, and b) some men have sex with unimmunized women, and c) some immunized women may still carry the virus. By immunizing my boys, I’m protecting not only them, but also their future partners from a potentially deadly and highly preventable disease. BC should cover this vaccine for everyone.

Dear Editor: I recently read the story about the man whose parcel was left at his front door by Canada Post and a woman on the street saw it and stole it. I had a similar experience. I sent a parcel by Canada Post to my sister in Saskatoon, but she didn’t receive it. I tracked the parcel online and found out it had been delivered on a day that my sister was not home. No card was left in her mailbox for her to pick up the parcel at the local post office. I called Canada Post to trace the parcel. I was told the parcel carrier probably did a “safe drop,” meaning the parcel was left in what the carrier considered a “safe place.” My sister lives in an apartment building where there is no such thing as a safe place to leave a parcel or anything else. I was also told the “do not safe drop” box was not checked off so the carrier had this option. I was not asked about “safe drop” when I mailed the parcel so I had no idea this practice existed. In the past the carrier always left a card in my sister’s mailbox if she wasn’t home to accept the delivery. My option now appears to be to pay extra for a signature to ensure the parcel is delivered to the person to whom the parcel is addressed and not just left in the building. As far as I am concerned, delivering a parcel to a building rather than to the apartment in the address does not constitute proper delivery of a parcel. Canada Post seems to be taking an easy option rather than actually doing the job it is supposed to do. Shirley Mansfield, New Westminster

UPDATE - YVR SOUTH RUNWAY CLOSURES

Teachers to hire Continued from page 1 space is needed. If it is, the district will be on the hook for those costs, Duncan said. “Space is the issue,” he said. “So that’s no longer fully funded, or appears to be. So will there be more capital dollars? We don’t know.” Queen Elizabeth Elementary School in Queensborough, for example, is nearly bursting at its seams. The district already plans to bring one portable to the site, Duncan said, but depending on the outcome of the new agreement, the school could need a second one. Duncan hopes negotiations will end by midMarch so the district can properly plan out its budget. If it’s later than that, he said senior administration will have to work on two different staffing scenarios. “It makes it difficult,” he said. “If we were doing the 2001 language model, we would have to walk into that anticipating that would be fully funded by the govern-

ment, and I really truly believe it will be.That was the Supreme Court of Canada decision.” Meanwhile, there won’t be any disruption to classes once the district hires its new teachers. Of the nine new classroom teachers, four are at the high school level, three are at the elementary school level and two are at the middle school level. These elementary and middle school teachers could be working at several different schools, depending on the need, Duncan said. “We will not be going in and separating classes,” he said. “What we’ve heard from our teachers is they would love the ability to have someone come into their classroom and maybe work with the entire class while the classroom teacher worked with Johnny, Alice and Frank over here in the corner.” Prospective staff have until Jan. 20 to apply for one of the 15 positions up for grabs in New Westminster.

YVR PROJECT AND SOUTH RUNWAY MAINTENANCE From January 17 to February 2, the South Runway will be closed two nights a week (Tues and Weds) between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. for detailed surveying of one of the main taxiways accessing the South Runway. Regular monthly maintenance will continue to take place on January 25 from 10 p.m. 6 a.m. During these closures the North Runway will be used for all arrivals and departures. This work is weather dependent, please check our website regularly for updates on the surveying work schedule.

New West resident seeks city approval for yurt Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Royal City resident hopes the city will help fulfill her lifelong dream of living in a yurt. Treva Zilm has approached the city about building a yurt on her property in the Glenbrooke North neighbourhood. Once used by herdsmen in Mongolia, the modernday versions of these circular, tent-like structures can now be outfitted with all the comforts of home, including fireplaces, kitchens and multiple rooms. “I think we will do a prefab one so if the family doesn’t want it after I die,

they can just take it down easily,” she told the Record. “It will be to code. It will be the best-looking yurt in Canada.” While the 1945 home on Osborne Street was a “perfect match” when Zilm moved in 15 years ago, the 1,500-square-foot house is too small for her family’s needs now that she’s raising her twin 10-year-old grandchildren, and her daughter and her partner live in the basement suite. “I need to build a bigger house for my grandchildren,” she said. “They sleep in my office. I said, ‘Don’t worry about it, Harry Potter slept in a closet, you can too for a little longer.’”

Zilm has hired a designer, who is drawing up plans for a new house on her Glenbrooke North property.The house would be bigger than the existing home and meet zoning requirements. “We have to deal with the conventional house first and the yurt will be in the back,” she said. “It will be a lanehouse, sort of. Space will decide how big it will be. I intend to live my days out in it.” Zilm plans to make her current house available at no charge for someone who wants to move it to a different location. She fell in love with yurts when she saw them in the Monument Valley in Utah.

“I like the design and the openness of it,” she said. “It would be a tribute to my grandfather. He was First Nations. He was Chippewa.” Zilm, who retired from teaching in 2005, appeared as a delegation at the Jan. 9 city council meeting to discuss the possibility of getting a building permit to make her dream come true. “That’s probably a first to council that we have had a request for a yurt,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote said. “Given what we are talking about with sensitive infill housing, it’s an interesting request.” Council directed the planning department to

connect with Zilm about her proposal. She’s confident she’ll get the city’s approval to build the house

and yurt – and will even invite council to the yurt housewarming. “It is my dream,” she said.

Gender-neutral washrooms proposed for park facility Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Universal washrooms are now included in plans for a modern washroom and concession building in Queen’s Park. The city’s 2016 capital budget includes funding for the planning and design to replace the washroom and concession facility next to Rainbow Playland in Queen’s Park. A staff report states the facilities are undersized and the playground shack and concession/washroom building “have reached their end of life” and should be replaced

with a building that meets contemporary needs. The Queen’s Park master plan that was approved in 2013 recommended six female and four male toilet stalls to meet the current and future washroom demands. In recognition of the rights of transgender persons to access washroom spaces, as well as the needs of parents with children of the opposite gender, staff is proposing the washroom include 10 universal stalls, including two wheelchairaccessible stalls.The universal washrooms would have shared sinks, but separate private toilet stalls.

Park is well used How busy is Queen’s Park playground? Check out these figures from the parks and recreation department: # Nearly 95,000 people were counted exiting the petting farm from May 21 to Sept. 5. # Parks staff counted between 150 and 175 people at the Queen’s Park spray park at 1 p.m. each day during this past summer. # An average of 98 transactions per day took place

at the concession stand in Queen’s Park during the 94 days it was open. Because one transaction cay pay for multiple customers, the city estimates an average 372 customers purchased food each day. # The picnic shelters get 147 annual bookings and the bandshell has 36 annual bookings. Washroom users include visitors to the petting farm, playground, spray park and rose garden.

“The parks and recreation committee has considered the notion of universal washrooms and strongly supports the concept,” said JayYoung, manager of Queen’s Park Arenex. “Staff

the coming two months.” The city’s five-year capital budget, which has yet to be approved by council, includes $1.2 million for the project. Young said the earliest

construction would begin next fall.The plan is to construct the building in the same general location as the existing washroom building.

An intriguing play by the incomparable Agatha Christie, Towards Zero begins when the frail and elderly Lady Tressilian invites several guests into her seaside home at Gull’s Point. The house party turns sour when tennis star, Neville Strange, brings his new wife along, knowing that his ex-wife will also be present. Then events take a sinister turn as Lady Tressilian is killed, and Superintendent Battle, who is holidaying nearby, finds himself embroiled in a labyrinthine maze of clues and deception.

‘HOUSEKEEPING’ ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7893, 2017 PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Zoning Bylaw No. 6680, 2001 is a regulatory tool used to implement adopted policies and regulations. Within the scope of day-to-day business, staff become aware of missing or outdated information, and must amend the Zoning Bylaw. ‘Housekeeping’ Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7893, 2017 will address three such items. WHAT IS ‘HOUSEKEEPING ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW No. 7893, 2017 ABOUT? ‘Housekeeping’ Zoning Bylaw No. 7893, 2017 will make the following corrections: 1) Amend subsection 510.3.2 to include ‘and Daycare’. In 2011, staff sought Council’s consideration to allow animal grooming and daycare facilities as a permitted use in the C-1 Local Commercial District. Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7460, 2011 was adopted on May 30, 2011 permitting under section 510.3.2 “Animal Grooming Facilities”. This amendment would add “and Daycare”. 2) Update Appendix ‘H’ (Liquor Primary Establishments) Appendix ‘H’ lists all properties that have been zoned to permit Liquor Primary establishments and their occupant capacities. Appendix ‘H’ was last revised in 2012. Since then, some establishments have changed names, changed occupant capacities, or are no longer operating. 3) Amend sections 120.148 and 120.151 to add Child Care as an accessory use in public and private schools Adding child care as an accessory use in public and private schools will allow for flexibility of schools to have pre-school and school age care programs. Such programs in schools are convenient for parents and introduce pre-school children to the school environment. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

CHANGES TO RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMITS

Starting January 1, 2017, changes were be made to the residential parking permit application process. A new e-apply module is now available allowing residents to purchase residential parking permits through an online system – visit www.newwestcity.ca/parking. As of January 1, 2017, there is no longer a $5.00 fee for renewals; all permits will be charged a flat rate of $15.00. Each household is entitled to a total of five permits. The first three permits (1 visitor and 2 residential permits) can be purchased for $15.00 each. An additional two residential permits may be purchased for $50.00 each. Parking permits are valid until the last day of the month, one year from date of application. The change to a standard flat rate will provide the city with a means of subsidizing the program, while also bringing our fee structure in line with neighboring municipalities. The implementation of these services will aid in our goal of freeing up on-street parking and our ability to better enforce permit parking zones. Additionally, permit hangers will no longer be required to be displayed for residential permits. Hangers will still be required for visitor permits. Permits will now expire at the end of the month, one year from date of purchase. If renewing a permit, please apply in the same month your current permit expires. For more information on these changes, please visit newwestcity. ca/parking or contact Parking Services at 604-519-2010.

DOG LICENSE RENEWAL

2017 dog licenses are now available for purchase and renewal. Get yours before March 1st to qualify for the discounted rate. Licenses can be renewed online at newwestcity.ca

Email: clerks@newwestcity.ca

Please visit City Hall or the New Westminster Animal Shelter at 231 Ewen Ave to license your dog.

Renée Bucciarelli was feeling like the world needed a little more joy, a little more lightness to dispel the dark – not just the weather but, well, everything. “I sense people could use some warmth, some passion, some folly, some good laughs,” she says. So when she was searching for ideas for a new production for City Stage New West, she hit upon the idea of George Bernard Shaw – at his funniest and most light-hearted. She was eager to work at the historic Galbraith House again, since City Stage has always enjoyed staging productions there. “I’ve had in the back of my mind that a Shaw play would be perfect for that space,” she says. Hence Shaw Shorts!, an evening of theatre that features Shaw’s one-act play How He Lied To Her Husband, along with a theatrical staging of excerpts of some of the letters from Shaw’s

scandalously famous love affair with theatre star Beatrice Stella Campbell. It takes to the stage at Galbraith House from Tuesday, Jan. 24 to Sunday, Feb. 5. “It has been such a joyful process so far,” says Bucciarelli, taking a break from reading her scripts to chat

about the upcoming production. Bucciarelli is City Stage’s artistic director, but for this production she’s put on two other hats: as an actor, and as a writer, having adapted Shaw’s historical correspondence into Love Letters To Mrs. Patrick Campbell.

That it’s busy is undeniable, but Bucciarelli couldn’t be more thrilled about the chance to work with two actors she respects: Luc Roderique, who was onstage as Othello with Bard on the Beach this past summer, and Simon Webb, Continued on page 24

Community City celebrates Innovation Week Hackers could be descending on New Westminster City Hall during Innovation Week. A hackathon is one of several events taking place in New Westminster during Innovation Week, which runs from Feb. 25 to March 3. The two-day hacking event featuring activities for all ages and skills kicks off Innovation Week on Saturday, Feb. 25 and Sunday, Feb. 26. “We thought it would be great fun to take over city hall and have a two-day hackathon. It’s Hack Our City,” said Innovation Week project coordinator Jen Arbo. “They are activities that are designed for true open-data hacking using the city’s open data sets that are available. Right now there are more than 80 sets and more coming.There will be true hacking with projects at the end of it.” In addition to no-code civic hacking and coding projects, Hack Our City will feature demonstrations

from local businesses on their innovations, Lego Robotics and other hand’s-on workshops for children and youth, a tech bar where people can ask questions about their devices and more. “We will also have the Spare Parts Adventure Playground, which is taking a bunch of construction materials and dumping them on the ground with hammers and nails and saying, ‘Build something,’” said Arbo, who has a shortterm contract with the city to help with the marketing, logistics and interconnectivity of all the events. “We will have a bunch of different implements so we can really show off that innovation is for everyone and it is all types.” Other events during the week include PechaKucha New West on Feb. 25 and an Innovation Leadership Dinner on March 2. – Theresa McManus See more on this story at www.newwestrecord.ca.

Tree chipping a success despite snowy weather AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster Firefighters’ Charitable Society raised more than $6,000 at this year’s Christmas tree chipping event. Glen Bailey, president of the charitable society, said the city provided an arborist who chipped 260 trees on Saturday, Jan. 7 and 276 trees on Sunday, Jan. 8. Offduty firefighters helped haul the trees to the arborist, who put them through the chipper. “Because of the weather, we could only get one bin. We had guys stomping on the chips to get it down,” he said. “I think that was one of our better years for trees being brought out.We took away one very, very full bin of trees.They go to a recycling yard in Richmond.” The event took place on the weekend following a major snowfall, resulting in a loss of space in the parking lot of the Canada Games Pool because of snow banks and ice.The charitable society is grateful to the community for its support and to residents who may have been impacted by the event. “We ended up having to take up a little more of the parking lot than we normally would,” said Bailey, noting that may have impacted some people going to the pool or community centre. “To those people, we apologize for any inconvenience. We are going to work with the city to come up with a plan for next year, should

we have snow.” Despite the cold weather, a jazz band from NewWestminster Secondary School performed, Louise Perry of G&F Financial popped and served popcorn and local firefighters served up barbecued hotdogs and pop at the event.The charitable society raises money that it disperses to a wide variety of community programs and organizations in NewWestminster. SYRIAN STUDENTS EXPLORE ART Massey Theatre is offering an arts program for Syrian children exploring arts and culture through the lens of moving to Canada. The program, which got underway Dec. 13, is offering arts classes in visual arts, storytelling, dance and music twice a week throughout the winter. A celebration of Syrian Canadian culture will be held later in the spring at Massey Theatre for the whole community to get to know the new citizens. “It is so important that these children are provided an outlet to explore their past experiences as well as their dreams for the future,” said Jessica Schneider, executive director of the Massey Theatre Society. “I hope the program will serve to say ‘welcome to our cultural community’ to these families and to provide a vehicle to introduce the children to their peers through their creativity.” The program is being delivered in partnership with Mosaic SWIS program and the school district.

Shaw Shorts at Galbraith

Continued from page 16 a veteran actor who has been seen on many Vancouver stages and who worked with Bucciarelli on a production of King Lear with the Honest Fishmongers co-op. They’re directed by Laura McLean, an up-and-coming, award-winning director whom Bucciarelli describes as “young and brilliant.” All three actors are onstage for How He Lied To Her Husband – a comedy that centres around a middle-aged coquette (Bucciarelli), her well-to-do husband (Webb) and a young and handsome man with whom she has a flirtation (Roderique). “It’s a real bedroom farce. It’s almost Oscar Wilde, really,” Bucciarelli says, noting it features “people running in and out of doors” and “topsyturvyness here, there and everywhere.” “I’m just having a ball,” she adds with a laugh. Bucciarelli and Webb then team up for the Love Letters production – based on a real-life, 40-year correspondence between Shaw and Beatrice Stella Campbell, who was an actor, producer and director and a highpowered woman in Victorian theatre circles. “She really had chops,” Bucciarelli says, the admiration clear in her tone. Complicating the matter, of course, is the fact Shaw was married – his wife

Community OUR PAST

Travellers were trapped by ice in cold snap of 1858 Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

For almost two months we have watched and endured a very cold winter in our region.The weather statistics that have come out of this prolonged cold snap have attracted a great deal of attention. In terms of the dangers that accompanied such periods in our distant past, there were many. One such account comes from the winter of 1858 on the Fraser River prior to the founding of New Westminster.There was a lot of ice on the river, it was blocked in spots, and the few steamboats on its waters were having difficulties. On one occasion, the steamer Enterprise got trapped in the ice between Fort Hope and Fort Langley near the confluence of the Harrison and Fraser rivers. As there were limited supplies and accommodation onboard, the passengers decided that, although they were unprepared for the task, they would walk along the frozen river and overland downstream to reach the fort. After a few days the ship broke loose and headed down river as well, blowing its whistle to hopefully attract the trekkers.The passengers were rescued, carried to Fort Langley, and disaster was averted. A letter of thanks was printed in the Victoria newspaper: “We…beg to tender to Capt.Thomas Wright of the steamer Enterprise… our deep heartfelt acknowledgments for his humanity

and Christian benevolence, in rescuing from destruction 110 men, one woman and three children, lost in the snow on the intricate route and almost impassable woods of the Fraser River…We feel that, but for our unexpected deliverance, the pall of death must have been stretched over us all.” Other examples of these extreme early weather conditions occurred in the winter of 1862. One report states: “Everything is frozen tight at New Westminster. Horses and sleighs are driven across and up and down the river with perfect security. Livestock has also been driven across, and sleighing on the ice is daily indulged in.The snow is 10 inches deep at New Westminster.” At this time, a vessel from Nanaimo was to drop off passengers at New Westminster, but entry into the river was impossible.The solution? “Intelligence of her arrival was dispatched to New Westminster and sleighs sent out to bring the passengers to town.” Another vessel from Victoria to the Royal City was also unable to enter the river and it was noted the boat was “…at anchor off the mouth of the river with all her freight aboard.” Those aboard walked up river, arriving in New Westminster nearly three days later. One of those walking was unable to go on and “praiseworthy exertions” by others carried him to his destination, otherwise he “must have lost his life.”

NWSS MUSICAL THEATRE PROGRAM presents a school’s out production at MASSEY THEATRE

ASK CITY HALL Theresa McManus

QUESTION:

Like many New Westers, all of the plants in my yard have been crushed under a blanket of snow and frozen in place for the past few weeks. My cedar hedge is all bent and folded out.

- New West resident

ANSWER: I asked Claude LeDoux, the city’s horticultural manager, for some advice. “The snow blanket, as it’s better called, is truly a protective blanket because it insulates the plants. Now, if you are stacking snow on top, heavy wet snow or ice,

yes, you can damage plants that way. But if it’s just a regular blanket of snow that’s fallen naturally, then it really acts as an insulator protecting them. “The plants that are what we call zonal denial, a bit of a tropical-type plant, there is no guarantees on them at all.The really important thing for you to do in that situation is not to cut any plants. Do not prune anything off unless it is broken, or if it was a perennial you knew was just black. Regular shrubs or plants that might – do not cut them.Wait until they start

to sprout in the spring and make sure they are alive before you chop anything. “Hedges, you really should always shake off the snow.Yes, they kind of go floppy, but the trick right now with it being so cold is you shouldn’t mess with them other than to remove the snow. And then if they are not going to stand up once it is warmed up, then you can tie them together, tie them up, and see if that allows themselves to straighten back up. “You won’t be able to really tell anything until it really warms up. Plants will stay green and look OK and then if they succumb to the cold, freezing or breakage that you didn’t notice then they will die.” Have a question for New Westminster City Hall?

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS OR TO BECOME A MEMBER, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE When people find out that the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce offers a discounted non-profit membership, I often get asked why we’d encourage non-profits to join. After all, a Chamber of Commerce is a business networking group, right? Well, no. And yes! Read on. Every Chamber of Commerce I can think of offers business networking opportunities, and New Westminster is no exception. But we also offer other benefits, too. Educational opportunities, facilities use, events, advocacy, access to a benefits plan, promotion, member to member discounts, marketing, and connection are just some of them. The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce started offering a non-profit rate to local charities and societies who operate here because we felt it was important to acknowledge that non-profits are businesses, too, but that we know every dollar really makes an impact to those they serve. Many non-profits have staff (paid or volunteer) that operate within the community, and many need to deal with the same issues as for-profit businesses such as human resources, leasing office space, marketing their work, and finding efficient systems and processes. There are other added benefits to non-profits who join the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, as well. Recruiting for a new board member? Many business owners are looking for ways they can give back and elevate their profile in the community. Seeking donors for a new program? Chamber members often have networks they can help promote your needs to. Want to connect with other non-profits to see what is working for them? We can help with that, too. We host monthly casual networking events as well as larger events such as leadership dinners that give you access to people who can help. Networking isn’t just about sales. It’s about finding a group of colleagues and connections that can make your business—or your non-profit—as successful as possible. If you have questions about what we do at the Chamber, or would like to sign up your non-profit at our special, discounted membership, please reach out—I’d love to talk and hear about your organization and fill you in on how our membership can help.

Anamnesis is onstage at the Massey Theatre on Thursday, Jan. 26 and Friday, Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Anamnesis explores the memories of two protagonists, whose memories and perspectives are identified using two colour streams: yellow for one and blue for the other.

Three Royal City rinks win spots at BC championships

Teams McArdle,Wright and Richter have a date in Salmon Arm next month, after each qualified for the 2017 B.C. Senior curling championships. The squads, which in part or whole carry a banner for the Royal City Curling Club, found ways to earn their spot to the competition, which goes Feb. 20 to 26. Both McArdle and Wright crews will be among the eightteam competition on the men’s side; the Richter rink will line up with seven other teams on the women’s draw. The Wright team features skip

Steve Wright, third Neil Houston, second Ernie Daniels, lead Brett Kury and fifth Neil Zambik. The McArdle foursome includes Royal City icemaker Ken McArdle, third Dean Geiger, second Doug Graham and lead Darin LaFace. Covering an array of curling clubs from Penticton to Royal City, the Richter rink will contest the senior women’s side led by Penticton-based skip Marilou Richter, third Debbie JonesWalker, second Leanne Andrews, lead Pam Cuthbert and fifth Brenda Garvey.

The winning male and female teams will go on to represent B.C. at the 2017 Canadian Senior curling championships in Fredericton, NB. It’ll be a busy month for McArdle, who pinch-skipped for Victoria’s Neil Dangerfield earlier this month and respectfully helped the Victoria crew advance to the Belairdirect B.C. Men’s curling championships, which runs Feb. 8 to 12 in Abbotsford. A veteran of seven provincial championships, McArdle will cross stones in Abbotsford with fellow Royal City curlers from

Team Tardi (skip Tyler Tardi, third Sterling Middleton, second Jordan Tardi and lead Nicholas Meister),Team Bilesky (skip Andrew Bilesky, third Steve Kopf, second Daniel Wenzek and lead Cameron Watt) and Team Guignard (skip Jeff Guignard, third Chris Faa, second Jeff Sargent and lead Nick Kuit). " Royal City’s Brent Pierce ventured north and nearly cashed in for theYukon men’s curling title. The free agent skip and his teammates pushed it to the limit before falling to Team Solberg in the final in Whitehorse 7-6 on

Sunday. It came down to the final end and the final rock, with Solberg nailing the winner in the 10th end. Up to that point, Pierce had Solberg’s number, having collected wins in two of three earlier meetings at the championship. To advance to the final Pierce, whoseYukon-based squad included third Wade Scoffins, second Steve Fecteau and lead Clint Ireland, knocked off two-time defending champion Robert Smallwood 7-3.

Sports New West pushes Rebels Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Some of the most encouraging signs for the New Westminster senior boys basketball team have come in games that didn’t end with a ‘W.’ The Hyacks continue along in preparation for next month’s playoffs with plenty of optimism, thanks to a run of strong efforts. After going 2-1 at the G.P.Vanier Towhee tournament in Courtenay, the squad put up its best effort on Monday in what was an exciting 74-69 loss to No. 6-ranked South Burnaby. For New West head coach Arno Richter, the difference between a win and a loss, at least on that night, was in the stat line of 17-33. “We should have won that game, but we went 17for-33 from the line,” Richter said. “We lost it because we didn’t hit our free throws but it was there to take.” If they had sank their free tosses it could have spelled the upset of the season, at least in the Burnaby-New West league. As it is, Richter says turning the page but taking those key lessons from the loss will only help. “For me, that was our best game (so far) of the season,” he noted. “It felt good to get a strong 40 minutes from the guys, against

a top-10 team in the province.” Standing out in what was a well-rounded team effort were Grade 12 guards Francis Federipe and Norman Manacsa, while Harman Sandhu came in and provided energy and a calming influence. Winning the battle of the boards gave the Hyacks a shot at taking the game, but the loss left them 2-2 in league play. In Courtenay, a familiar foe supplied the only knock, as the Hyacks finished the Vanier Towhee tournament third overall.They handily defeated both Rutland, 86-52, and Kwalikum, 9664, but were topped 74-46

in the semifinal by the W.J. Mouat Hawks. It was Mouat which bested New West in the Port Moody holiday tourney three weeks ago. “They did what they did to us before,” Richter said of the honourably mentioned Hawks. “We had tonnes of looks in the first half but just didn’t have the finish.” With only four games left in the regular season, the focus is on getting that 40-minute consistent effort to show every night. “With that game against Burnaby South, it really shows we’re able to complete with anybody,” said Richter.

Royals upended by Mariners

The Douglas College Royals set the tempo early but came up short when the Vancouver Island Mariners rallied for a 56-52 decision in PacWest women’s basketball action. Leading 38-31 at the half, all Douglas needed to do was hold VIU from any big runs, and protect the lead. But the Mariners out-rebounded the hosts 48-41 and corralled the lead when it

mattered most, in a game where the lead traded hands 14 times. Amber Beasley counted 17 points in the loss, while Rachel Beauchamp scored 12 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, while Sarah Jorgenson chipped in 10 points. A day later, Douglas was fully motivated and cranked out a 89-46 win over the Camosun Chargers, led by Beauchamp’s 21 points and 11 boards.
