Fighting for Fifth Residents want to preserve single-family detached homes for the future By Theresa McManus

SAVE OUR STREET Susan Dextras and Don Hauka, front, and fellow Fifth Street residents want the city to abandon a proposal that would see portions of the west side of the street designated as residential-townhouse in the official community plan. Residents believe the same density can be achieved in ways that protect the character of their neighbourhood. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Fifth Street residents are anxiously awaiting to see what the city has in store for their neighbourhood. As part of the update to the official community plan, the City of New Westminster is considering a proposal to designate some parts of the west side of Fifth Street as residential-townhouse. In recent weeks, a steady stream of Fifth Street residents has written to city hall and appeared before council to urge the city to reject the plan. Gordon Lamont, who has lived on Fifth Street for 11 years, is disappointed the OCP is “targeting” his neighbourhood. He believes basement suites and laneway houses would enable the city to achieve the same density that would be offered by townhouse, but maintain the character of the neighbourhood. “I believe we can do that with much Continued on page 6

Police investigating racist ﬂyers in New West The community reacts to the flyers, which promote fascism as the “key for a new Canada,” by organizing a rally and protest

By Cayley Dobie

An anti-fascism group will march in the Royal City at a rally this Sunday after racist, neo-Nazi flyers were spotted in the city last week-

end. The flyers were found at a bus stop in the 300 block of Sixth Street Saturday morning.They reportedly promoted fascism as the “key for a new Canada” and warned against an impend-

ing race war. It’s believed the posters were meant to be recruiting tools, similar to other posters found in cities like Abbotsford and Richmond in recent months, according to Imtiaz Popat, a member of Co-

alition Against Bigotry and one of the organizers of the upcoming rally. Popat was surprised to hear neo-Nazi posters were found in New Westminster; it’s the first time such literature has been found north

of the Fraser River. On Sunday, Popat joined with about 200 other people at a Sikh temple in Abbotsford to protest similar neo-Nazi literature that’s been distributed in the community recently.

“People think it’s a joke. It’s not,” he said when asked what could be done to stop these hate groups. To his dismay, Popat said it took law enforcement in Abbotsford longer than Continued on page 3

Up Front ANTI-WOMEN’S MARCH

Cop photo used as political tool on Facebook By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A photo taken by the Record of three female New Westminster police officers is being misused by an anti-Women’s March group based in the United States. The photo, featuring three local officers in front of a New Westminster Police Department cruiser, was part of a feature story on female officers in the local police force, which was published in the Record in August 2014.The photo, owned by the Record, is now circulating social media after an American Facebook group used the photo without permission to protest the Women’s March on Washington on Saturday. The post reads: “One of the most empowering things I’ve done as a woman was learn to shoot, learn how to defend myself, and strap on my vest everyday … not wear a (…) ridiculous pink hat and ‘protest.’ Working the street is the ultimate equal opportunity; bad guys don’t give a (…) if you’re a man or a woman.Want to feel ‘equal’? Go fight someone in the street,

get shot at, or have someone try to kill you.” The New Westminster Police Department has denounced the post, confirming the group does not have permission to use the image of its officers. “It’s obviously not our comments associated to it (the photo). Somebody has used our photo and put their own comments and own beliefs on that, which aren’t the beliefs of our organization by any means,” acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department, told the Record. “We’ve asked the people who host that page to remove that photo just because it does have our members and images on there, and it’s still up and we’re hoping it will be removed.” Both the Record and the New Westminster Police Department have received emails, calls and messages on Facebook regarding the image. All attempts are being made to have the image removed. “We’re well aware of it and it does not reflect the beliefs of this organization,” Scott added.

FALSE:

Without permission, an American Facebook group used the image of three female New Westminster police officers and added fabricated quotes to protest the Women’s March on Washington over the weekend. The New Westminster Police Department has denounced the comments made under the photo, saying they do not represent the feelings of the department. The photo was taken in August 2014 by a Record photographer to run with a story on the growing number of women in the local department. SCREENSHOT FACEBOOK

Don’t fall for fake news What’s the source?

Is it from a trusted media organization such as The Globe and Mail, CBC, The Guardian, or a local news organization such as the Record? If it has a strange domain name or website name, chances are it’s fake.

Who has shared the ‘news’ and why?

If the group that is sharing the ‘news’ has a clear agenda, chanc-

es are that the content is not to be trusted.

Does it make you angry or trigger strong emotions?

Fake news relies on triggering people’s feelings to have them automatically share stuff without checking it out. If something makes you very angry, dig deeper before you share.

There are a couple of sites you can go to check if the story is true:

For Canadian political stories go to factscan.ca; snopes.com is another good site for checking the validity of stories. And, finally, if you know something is not true, don’t share it or spread it around. Would you like someone to repeat lies about you?

FROM THE FRONT

Racist ﬂyers trigger rally Continued from page 1 he would have liked to take the issue seriously. Popat hopes that won’t be the case moving forward. He wants the government to use provincial anti-hate legislation against these groups. “There’s a whole group of neo-Nazi fascist groups that have been organizing for a long time and the rise of Donald Trump has given them the green light to start doing this again,” he said. As for the New Westminster rally on Sunday, Popat hopes it’ll put pressure

on the authors of the hate-filled leaflets. “This is our hood, and we need to say something,” he said. “It’s scary.” Popat encourages everyone to come out and take a stand on Sunday.The rally begins at 1 p.m. at Eighth and Columbia streets at Hyack Square. The New Westminster Police Department has confirmed it is investigating the appearance of the posters and that investigators are looking for surveillance footage from the area around the bus stop.

Tonight, Thursday, Jan. 26, New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy and other community leaders are holding a vigil in front of city hall to show New Westminster is united against racism. “I think it’s important as a community that we are

Investigators are also in contact with Coast Mountain Bus Company to see if any of its drivers saw anything suspicious, acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department, told the Record. The B.C. Hate Crimes Team has also been in touch with investigators to determine if the posters found in New Westminster are connected to other posters that have popped up in other cities.

‘Is this really what we want?’ Continued from page 1 less impact on a neighbourhood,” he said. “For me, if the density targets are satisfied, there is no justification an OCP change for townhouses.” Lamont noted there are other streets in Glenbrooke North that are pedestrianfriendly and near transit and commercial amenities. “By rezoning only along the edges, you are creating a minority that is affected, while the rest can happily agree that townhouses are a good thing,” he said. Louiza Zlatovic, who has a master’s degree in architecture, agrees the city needs to have more housing options and provide housing for future residents but thinks that’s better achieved by secondary suites with laneway housing or duplexes on Fifth Street. She believes areas of the city that are not fully established, such as the 12th Street corridor, the downtown and Queensborough, are more appropriate locations for townhouses. “Our street is very unique. It’s a perfect example of why our city is so special and why it is desirable,” she said. “I came to New Westminster 15 years ago, after looking to buy a property for several months.When I walked on that boulevard – that was my house.That boulevard is something that I think should be preserved.” Don Hauka urged council to take a “fresh look” at Fifth Street and consider

the historical role and potential of the entire corridor from Third Avenue to 10th Avenue.The street, once envisioned to be the corridor leading to the parliament buildings when New Westminster was B.C.’s capital, now provides a habitat for wildlife, has a significant chunk of Glenbrooke North’s tree canopy and has homes representing every epoch in the city’s history. “That boulevard is our single largest heritage feature, natural feature, in my neighbourhood and I think it’s worth preserving,” he said. Hauka suggested the city should preserve the natural values of the neighbourhood and develop the street to its potential, by tying it in to heritage walks and creating geocaching opportunities. In November, a coalition of residents calledYes in New West appeared before council to urge the city to expand housing options in the city by allowing more row houses, townhouses and carriage and laneway houses.The coalition supported the proposal to permit townhouse designations on Fifth Street. Longtime Fifth Street resident Susan Dextras said 38 of 41 residents signed a petition opposing the townhouse designation proposed for their street. If the goal of the OCP is to offer more options for buyers, she said it should consider townhouses in areas of the city with lower land values so they’re affordable.

“We appreciate that you are wanting to offer more affordable housing to young families.We understand that. Our children are looking for homes as well,” Dextras said. “However, if this new designation goes through at your proposed 15 units per acre, then the townhouses that will be built on Fifth Street will be very expensive luxury units and not the affordable housing that young families are looking for.” Dextras fears townhouses will gradually destroy the strong sense of communi-

ty that exists in her established single-family neighbourhood. “Is this really what we want?” she said. “Is this responsible planning or is it the imposition of an ideology for the benefit of a chosen few at the expense of individual property owners and the character of the city as a whole.That is at essence is what is at stake here for us.” COMMENT ON THIS STORY

NewWestRecord.ca

A few fast facts

Why a townhouse designation for Fifth Street? Lynn Roxburgh, a senior planner with the city, said the concept is based on a desire to have people living close to areas with frequent transit and to have family-friendly housing within walking distance of the high school and Uptown commercial amenities. In addition, she said the large boulevard on Fifth Street would enhance the transition between townhouses and the singledetached dwellings on the other side of Fifth Street.

What’s next? The first draft of the OCP, including a revised landuse designating map, will be considered by council at an open workshop on Jan. 30. While the first draft of the land-use map proposed a residentialtownhouse designation for the west side of Fifth Street from just below Sixth Avenue to 10th Avenue, Roxburgh said the final draft of the map indicating “the current proposal” for this area will be considered on Monday and will be available online on Friday.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Have we lost our ability to recognize lies? ‘Perception is reality.’ The saying seemed to be everywhere 10 years ago. It meant, for example, that if someone perceived you to be a smart person, even if you weren’t, what mattered is that they thought you were a smart person. Marketing gurus glommed onto the expression, as it bolstered the need for managing appearances and hence grew their trade. Fast forward a decade and now we are faced with ‘alter-

native facts,’ fake news and bald-faced lies repackaged as ‘viewpoints.’ ‘Perception is reality’ on steroids. This past week one of our news photos was altered by a Facebook group site and used as an anti-women’s march post (see story on page three).The photo of three NewWestminster women police officers was posted with a caption that said, among other things, “Want to feel ‘equal’? Go fight someone in the street … .”

Anyone who knows the police in NewWest recognized immediately that it was faked. But that didn’t stop it from going viral. When it was pointed out to Facebook ‘friends,’ who were sharing the image and caption, that it was not only false but a violation of copyright and defamatory to the officers, the stock response was that it was a ‘meme.’ Call it whatever you want. It was a lie, and those who shared it after being told that it was false should be

ashamed of themselves. The same week New Westminster saw racist flyers left in our city.That the flyers are based on lies and fuelled by hate is, we hope, understood by the vast majority of NewWestminster residents. But given the amount of garbage passed off as information nowadays we have grave concerns. When lies and hate become normalized and seen as just viewpoints on a natural spectrum, we worry. The same week we heard

someone say that what they see in newspapers is really mostly opinion and not factual stories. Really? In the Record the opinion pieces are clearly marked as such. And, if, unwittingly, we publish a factual error, we correct it. Not being able to distinguish between news and opinion or understand that as professional journalists we are held to certain standards, is also troubling. How do people determine what are ‘real’ facts and what are falsehoods? Has

Facebook and the world of fake news created an oxygen-deprived atmosphere affecting our perceptions of everything? Have we lost the ability, or more importantly, the urge, to fact check anything? Do we really only ‘share’ things that appeal to our preconceived notions about ourselves and the world? And, if we do, how can we hope to ever truly expand our own understanding of the world we live in? Is perception reality?

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

No end in sight for drug crisis

Chances are most of us have lost someone to cancer, heart disease or a stroke, since those are the three leading causes of death in our general population. But we are fast approaching the day when many of us will know someone who has died of an illicit drug overdose. In fact, this may soon become the fifth leading cause of death in B.C., on a par with diabetes and more prevalent than accidents, influenza, liver disease and Alzheimer’s. Despite all kinds of heroic efforts by front-line workers, things are becoming worse at an alarming rate. And this is not a crisis confined to “the street” or places like the Downtown Eastside inVancouver. Drug overdose deaths are occurring all over the province, in pretty well every municipality and often involving victims not necessarily associated with the drug-using lifestyle. B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe was brutally frank about the worsening situation at a news conference last week. She said the whole thing has simply become “unmanageable.” “I think the introduction of fentanyl to our province is a game changer,” she told reporters, adding that this “contaminant” has turned a situation where there were always a number of drug overdose deaths into one where those kinds of deaths are exploding in number. Nearly 150 people died of an illicit drug overdose in December, a higher number

than in November. She gave no prospect of hope that the number will be lower this month or next month or the month after that. The number of overdose deaths in 2016 was 914, an increase of 80 per cent, and there is every reason to think that escalation rate won’t change much any time soon. More resources (such as treatment beds, safe injection sites, etc.) to fight this epidemic are no doubt needed, but Lapointe points out even with more resources it is next to impossible to get people instant treatment on a 24/7 basis. “I don’t know of any jurisdiction that has the resources to be able to provide treatment on demand,” she said, noting that 18 U.S. states had higher drug overdose rates than did B.C. No, B.C. is not alone in this. And, unfortunately like in so many other jurisdictions, the problem is likely going to get much worse before it gets better. FOR THE RECORD I had a bit of a brain cramp in last week’s column, where I referred to a potentially messy nomination battle involving former NDP MLA Harry Lali in the riding ofYale-Lillooet.The riding’s name, of course, has been changed to Fraser-Nicola (and NDP leader John Horgan has since confirmed he tried, apparently unsuccessfully, to talk Lali out of seeking the nomination). Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global TV.

Crystal clear case of theft Crystal figurines caught the eye of a young man in jeans and a black leather jacket suspected of breaking into Cartwright Jewellers in December. An undisclosed number of the sparkly objects were stolen, and police believe the blond, mustachioed suspect smashed the shop’s front showcase window at about 1 a.m. on a Tuesday morning to get at them.The total value of the figurines was not released.

Let’s get moving now on Arenex rebuilding

Fascist flyer prompts rally in NewWest

Dear Editor: The Arenex is insured. Why not take advantage of that and start building it immediately instead of pushing the rebuild out while installing a temporary bubble that would be used for a few years and then taken down to start rebuilding the new facility. Rebuild costs will only increase in the two or more years, and with the insurance coverage, the new building might be finished sooner. Perhaps, under the insurance coverage, the work could be started immediately with the demolition, cleanup and site readiness. Places have been found for many users, so let’s get going and have the users return to a new updated facility sooner and not waste time. C.L. Baker, New Westminster

Seabird habitat needs world-class protection Dear Editor: I very much hope these words are heard by all who also are interested in and serious about wanting to help preserve and protect our oceans, and the animals and mammals who live there. These issues have been pointed out to me, and being I very much agree with them, I wanted to share these very important issues with whom it may concern. This world-class seabird habitat – 40 per cent of all seabirds in British Columbia nest on the archipelago – deserves world-class protection. The proposed protections are missing clear regulations on fishing, vessel-based pollution, oil spills, shipping, noise and physical disturbances, and oil and gas exploration. Without more substantive regulations in the final plan, the Scott Islands Marine National Wildlife Area will not provide the protection needed for the most significant seabird populations. The federal government plans to designate the waters surrounding the Scott Islands off British Columbia’s coast as a marine-protected area, but the proposed regulations will do little to protect this globally significant ecosystem. The government needs to get this right to set the course for protecting 10 per cent of Canada’s marine ecosystems. Janet Bruce, by email

Group misuses photo for its own ends Kawi Apparently these Trumpanzee’s lack facts and have resorted to fabricating stories. Time to ban fake news. Dave Lundy If you asked the Trumpanzees ( love the name btw)... they would tell you that this depiction of the picture is just using “Alternative facts” to get their message out. Nancie Knight So disrespectful to use a photo of our police force for other purposes.

Kathleen Hall Jeezus... who knew at 63yrs old, I’d be dragging out my marching boots to yet another rally in a week! What is wrong with society? Why is there so much hate? Why are people going backwards???? Eric Mewhort It’s disgusting that this kind of hate and intolerance has made it up to our city, I’m definitely going to try and make it to the rally. Darcy Islas I like to believe this is a one off by fools. We live in an awesome inclusive city. One fool and 100000’s of lovers. A man/woman like that has to prowl at night. Do shameful acts. Friendless. Alone in their 100 year old ideas. Maybe we should have a protest to get them into a mental hospital for some help.

City continues to look at ferry service to Queensborough Joe Lastoria As a cyclist myself, I know that I wouldn’t bother sitting on a ferry to get across the water when we are only such a short distance from the bridge. I could see, however, how this may be beneficial to pedestrians who live in Queensborough and are needing to commute via the Skytrain although we have to take into account whether a ferry would actually be faster or more efficient than simply stepping onto one of the busses that go straight to the skytrain from there.

Council OK’s demolition of Queen’s Park home Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A 1950s home in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood has received council’s blessing to be demolished, much to the chagrin of heritage advocates. In a four to two vote, council agreed to issue a heritage alteration permit, which allows the house at 326 Arbutus St. to be demolished. A staff report says that although the home complements the size and scale of other houses on the street, it’s not a good example of a particular style and doesn’t have high heritage value. “It is a product of its time. Houses of that time were small and not elaborate.This fits right into that mode,” said Steve Norman, vice-president of the Queen’s Park Residents’ Association. “It’s part of a streetscape of about 10 houses that have similar vintage. As one resident of the street put it, it’s like a little village.”

Queen’s Park resident Deane Gurney said the small bungalow is representative of a very specific time in New Westminster. “There are very few of these houses in Queen’s Park,” he said. “If this house or any of the houses on that street go, we would be losing that period of time in Queen’s Park. It is a good example of those type of houses that were built for those people who were returning from war.” Gurney said there are other ways of dealing with this particular house and preserving its façade, including building another house at the rear of the property. “If it goes, we are just going to be losing another part of that heritage and community,” he said. “If we keep letting these houses disappear, we won’t have any heritage anymore.” Maureen Arvanitidis, president of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society, said the city doesn’t have criteria in place

for determining homes worth retaining, nor does it have up-to-date criteria about the type of homes that should replace homes being demolished. “Arbutus Street is one of those interesting enclaves that needs to be protected,” she said. Coun. Bill Harper and Jaimie McEvoy opposed the demolition of the house, saying up-to-date criteria for assessing heritage assets and guidelines for replacement homes where demolitions take place are being developed as part of the heritage control period that’s now in place. “We’ve got to listen to the neighbourhoods,” McEvoy said. “There is nobody here saying, ‘I absolutely want this change in my neighbourhood.’There is a whole bunch of people who say, ‘We value the streetscape, we value this type of housing.’” Councillors Patrick Johnstone, Mary Trentadue and Lorrie Williams, as well as Mayor Jonathan Cote, sup-

ported the demolition. Cote, who once lived on Arbutus Street, said it’s one of the “hidden gems” in New Westminster and is a unique street in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. “I’d say there are a number of houses on that street that I’d definitely want to protect from demolition,” he said. “Based on living on

the street and from what I know about this house, this particular house would not be one of them.” Cote hopes the heritage conservation area the city’s working on will help to better navigate these processes. He said it’s become “quite challenging” on council to have to be “the jury” on each individual application.

Johnstone said the heritage control period allows the city to protect important heritage assets while going through a process to create a heritage conservation area. ““To me, this house did not meet the criteria for protection because it simply wasn’t determined to have heritage value worth protecting,” he said.

More charges laid against former coach Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A former youth coach is facing two additional charges after he violated the conditions of a court order. Last month, Coquitlam resident Randy Downes, 58, was spotted on two occasions near the Queen’s Park Arena, disobeying court-ordered conditions imposed on him as part of an ongoing investigation by Coquitlam RCMP. In October 2016, the neighbouring RCMP detachment announced a series of charges against Downes, including voyeurism, possession of child pornography and making child pornography for alleged incidents in Coquitlam. As a result of the charges, Downes must abide by several conditions, but on Dec. 21 and 22 he was spotted

A school bus for New Westminster Secondary students from Queensborough could become a reality depending on the outcome of an upcoming survey. The New Westminster school district is taking the first steps to determine whether a school bus from the ’Boro to the high school is needed. Currently, approximately 200 students make the almost six-kilometre trek each day either by transit or car, according to Kevin Lorenz, the district’s secretary treasurer. A survey asking parents and students to answer questions about how they get from Queensborough to the high school should be sent to parents sometime in February. Lorenz said folks will have about a month to fill out the questionnaire, which includes space to provide an-

ecdotal information about the commute. Staff will go over the responses and present the results to the school board. It’s up to trustees to decide to move forward on any recommendations that come out of the survey, Lorenz said. A bus service for students living in Queensborough who attend the high school was part of trustee Mary Lalji’s election platform last year. Lalji tabled a motion to have staff look into the costs of providing such a service to students at a board meeting in June 2016. Since then, it’s volleyed between committee meetings and school board meetings. Once ready, the surveys will be mailed directly to families in Queensborough. Students can drop off completed surveys at the high school. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Murder mystery onstage at Bernie Legge Classic mystery fans, take note:The Vagabond Players are offering up a dramatic treasure by Agatha Christie. Towards Zero, a gripping murder mystery from the noted Queen of Crime, is onstage at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park Feb. 2 to 26. The story begins when the frail and elderly Lady Tressilian (Diane Tzingounakis) invites several guests to her seaside home. The party, however, turns sour when her nephew, the tennis star Neville Strange (Robson Baker) brings along his new wife, knowing that his ex-wife will also be present. When Lady Tressilian is killed, Superintendent Battle, who is holidaying nearby, finds himself facing a “labyrinthine maze of clues and deception,” a press release notes. The cast includes Madeleine Halbauer and Alexan-

dra Wilson as Kay and Audrey, the two wives whose rivalry creates tension. Alex Ross and Shawn Hillman play Thomas Royde and Ted Latimer, the two men who care for the unhappy women in spite of their seemingly unbreakable bond with Neville. Peter Robbins and Sheldon Landry play Superintendent Battle and his nephew, Inspector Leach. Deborah Tom appears as lawyer Mattie Treves, and Abbey St. Brendan is Mary Aldin, Lady Tressilian’s devoted companion. It’s directed by Miles Lavkulich. Towards Zero is onstage Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $17, or $15 for seniors and youth, with $12 previews on Feb. 2 and 3. Buy tickets through www. vagabondplayers.ca/tickets, or call 604-521-0412.

Guitarists take to Massey stage

Stringing it together: Gypsy jazz legend Lulo Reinhardt is onstage at the Massey Theatre this weekend as part of International Guitar Night. The evening features four top guitarists from around the world offering up solos, duets and quartets.

International Guitar Night returns with four world-class performers Top guitarists from around the world will once again be appearing on the Massey Theatre stage. International Guitar Night is returning to New Westminster for a new performance on Saturday, Jan. 28. The show features four top acoustic guitarists from around the world: Lulo Reinhardt of Belgium, a legend in the world of gypsy jazz; Luca Stricagnoli, an innovative contemporary guitarist from Italy; composer-

performer Chrystian Dozza of Brazil; and slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya of India. Each guitarist will offer up solo performances in their own style, and they will also team up for duets and quartets. A press release notes all four guitarists are accomplished musicians. Reinhardt, the host, is described as a “spontaneous and spirited” musician whose curiosity took him to Spain in search of flamenco

roots and to South America to explore Latin jazz. He founded the Lulo Reinhardt Latin Swing Project, recording the group’s first CD to reflect his passion for Latin music. Stricagnoli is on board for his North American debut after earning worldwide recognition for his unique style and non-conventional ways of playing the guitar. Dozza, who is also making his North American debut, is one of the leading lights of the new generation

Entertainment Art takes wing at Anvil Centre Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

New artwork is taking flight in the Community Art Space at Anvil Centre. The gallery is playing host to a new exhibition,Things With Wings, from Jan. 30 to March 30. An opening reception is set for Friday, Feb. 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. The seven-woman show features work by Lavana La Brey, Liz Dehn, Janet Kvammen,Teresa Morton, Julia Schoennagel, Betteanne Wilson and Elena Zhukova. The artists’ work explores both the natural world and the realm of imagination. “Through realistic representations or metaphorical, mythological allusions, this exhibition ponders the relationship between gravity and solidity, freedom and repression, body and spirit,” says a write-up about the event. “Flying offers an entry into the themes of beauty and metamorphosis, freedom and freewill, fear and fascination.” You can find out more at www.anvilcentre.com – or stop in to check it out at 777 Columbia St. ARTSTARTS RETURNS Here’s one for the families with small folks: ArtStarts is back at River Market with its weekend workshop series, and this weekend (Sunday, Jan. 29), kids can enjoy a magical session with author Kallie George.

storytelling session in a fairytale fort, then make their own magical egg. The workshop runs twice, at 11 a.m. and at 1 p.m., in the community square (upstairs). It’s aimed at kids aged five and up, but everyone is welcome. It’s free, and you’re encouraged to arrive early since the workshop series is always popular. Check out www.river market.ca for more.

NEW WEST TEEN ONSTAGE A New Westminster performer is onstage in a new teen thriller coming to the stage as part of the PuSh Festival. Rashi Grewal, a 19-year-old recent high school grad from New West, is part of the cast for Concord Floral, which is onstage until Jan. 29 at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre in Vancouver. It then moves to Surrey Arts Centre for shows on Feb. 3 and 4. Concord Floral, by Jordan Tannahill, was shortlisted for the 2016 Governor General’s Award.The story is based on 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron, in which 10 youth flee the Black Death and escape to an abandoned villa for 10 days, where they keep each other alive by telling one another stories. In this modern version, the teens escape to a massive abandoned greenhouse, seeking refuge from a “plague they have brought upon themselves,” as a press release tells it. All the cast members are youth actors from around B.C. Check out www.push festival.ca for more details.

City prepares to address aging citizens’ needs tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An age-friendly strategy now in the works in New West aims to help the city plan to meet the needs of an aging population. The strategy is a collaboration between the City of New Westminster and University of British Columbia’s School of Community and Regional Planning. UBC students Amy McDonald,Vivian Wong and Duston Lupick are working on the strategy that aims to inform decision-making so the city can better respond and meet the unique, diverse and changing needs of New Westminster’s older adults and seniors. “A big question we are asked is, what does age friendly mean?

right now 15 per cent of the population is over 65,” Lupick said. “By 2040 it’s expected to be over a quarter.” Lupick said the strategy will look at what can be done proactively to address an aging population, rather than reacting and having to put in infrastructure twice as the city’s population ages. “We are looking at people being able to age in place, being able to age in the neighbourhoods they are in and being able to age as part of the community that they currently reside in,” he said. “We are looking at active aging.The older population of the past is different than the one of the present.

Celebrating Seniors

Support seniors at the Coldest Night of the Year Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Folks of all ages are invited to help homeless and atrisk seniors. The Seniors Services Society is hard at work on plans for this year’s Coldest Night of theYear fundraiser, which will take place on Saturday, Feb. 25 at River Market and the Quay. “We are going to be out walking in a two-, five- and 10-kilometre walk to raise funds for our housing programs,” said Brian Dodd, the society’s interim executive director. “That funding

goes toward all the incidentals that you forget about when you are talking someone from a point of homelessness to a home. In many cases, most of the seniors we are working with have nothing.” Funds raised will help seniors in a variety of ways. “We are supplying furniture; we are supplying kitchen goods; sometimes gift cards for food so they can do that first stock-up in the fridge,” Dodd said. “Sometimes it means coming up with a damage deposit. When you are looking at a rent of about $900 a month

for a very basic unit and you have to come up with another $475 for a damage deposit, that’s a pretty big chunk all at once for someone on a fixed income. That’s what we are raising money for.” The Seniors Services Society is trying to get as many people as possible to attend this year’s Coldest Night of theYear fundraiser. “Our goal is to raise $45,000.That is up about $10,000 from last year,” Dodd said. “We are optimistic.We really need the funds. Government funding seems to be decreasing; the

need seems to be increasing. We have just got to get out there and do what we can to fill that need.” Community members are invited to raise funds ahead of time, or show and make a donation and go for a walk on Feb. 25. “It’s a neat way for the community to come together, on probably a brisk evening, to raise funds for a good cause,” Dodd said. About 20 teams took part the 2016 event, and 12 have already signed up for this year’s fundraiser. “Some of those teams Continued on page 26

AS WE AGE Society wants more people Continued from page 25 were two or three people; some were 10 or 12 people.There were a lot of people involved,” Dodd said. “We want to increase those numbers this year. So far it’s looking pretty good.” The Seniors Services Society is officially launching this year’s event in partnership with Quayside Community Board at its annual general meeting on Feb. 1.The Quayside Community Board plans to run some challenges between buildings at the Quay to support the Coldest Night of theYear, which starts and finishes at River Market and includes a walk at the Quay. Dodd said a number of local businesses are helping out so the society can host the Coldest Night of theYear fundraiser at little or no cost.

“Basically we get together at 5 o’clock for registration and a bit of a rahrah session.Then it’s the walk,” he said. “Afterwards, we supply hot soup or chili and buns, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. (It’s) an opportunity for everybody to get together and chat and warm up.”

We want to increase those numbers this year.

Interview seniors in New West Tereza Verenca

Asking the right questions: The Office of the Seniors Advocate is currently conducting one-on-one interviews with seniors living in longterm care homes across the province.

tverenca@newwestrecord.ca

If spending an hour or so with a senior is something of interest, then the Office of the Seniors Advocate wants to hear from you. B.C.’s seniors’ advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, is looking for more volunteer interviewers for the homecare survey her organization launched last summer. The questionnaire is for seniors living in long-term care homes across the province, including New Westminster. In total, there are 27,000 seniors living in more than 300 residential care facilities. The 80 or so questions touch on privacy, food, safety and security, comfort, respect and responsive staff, personal relationships, medications and activities in the home. “The big goal of the project is to make sure the residents are living a meaningful life,” said the office’s

PHOTO THINKSTOCK

Sara Parmar, noting the survey is the first of its kind in Canada. Volunteers conduct the survey in person after receiving a one-day training session.The commitment is at least 30 hours over six to eight weeks, she noted. “The flexibility is really good.That’s what our volunteers really like,” she said.

“Some people do three or four hours a week; some people do more than that.” Parmar added participants must get a criminal record check and the flu shot if they haven’t already done so. “They can apply online, and once they do that, we do a phone interview,” she said.

Parmar couldn’t get into what kind of responses her office has received so far, but said that information will be forthcoming in a few months. Staff want to wrap up the survey by March and table recommendations to the provincial government shortly after. To volunteer, visit sur veybcseniors.org.

Many seniors found themselves housebound during the recent snowfall.

Even if the snow is off the sidewalk in front of your building, it might not be half a block down, so somebody might feel housebound. Check in on your neighbour and say, ‘Hey Mrs. Smith, how is your food supply? Can I get anything for you?’”

Distilling a modern twist on traditional liquors Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

He calls it 19th-century physics. But instead of creating energy, Royal City resident Ian Anderson uses his physics background to create artisanal spirits. Founded in December 2015, Anderson Distilleries, located in neighbouring Burnaby, started selling its craft versions of ouzo and soju, popular Greek and Korean alcohols, respectively, to restaurants and private liquor stores last summer, but it was at craft fairs and markets last fall that things really got going. “We haven’t actually been to any liquor stores in quite some time mainly, because we’ve been so busy trying to keep our liqueurs in stock,” Anderson said. The SFU graduate had planned on getting a PhD in physics one day. Instead he decided to take advantage of the provincial government’s tax exemption for craft distilleries that use

100 per cent B.C.-grown ingredients and start his own business. “It was actually a couple steps backwards because I don’t have to do major quantum mechanics. There’s a little bit of biology that I had to learn, and a little bit of chemistry, but beyond that, it wasn’t any-

There’s a little bit of biology that I had to learn, and a little bit of chemistry

thing that was terribly on the difficult side,” he told the Record. Anderson currently makes three different lines of spirits – Mare Serenitatis, Montague and Sweet Serenitatis. The Mare Serenitatis series is his spin on tradition-

al alcohols like whiskey and gin, while the Montague series is for professionals looking for raw flavours, including lemon, lime, mandarin, mint and blackcurrant. The foundation of all of Anderson’s creations is a unique method dubbed the tequila process single malt, which distills the alcohol using a traditional Scotchmaking procedure but ferments it in the fashion as tequila makers, he said. But it’s the Sweet Serenitatis line that is especially popular, according to Anderson. Available in several different flavours, the Sweet Serenitatis is made using actual plants. Take Anderson Distilleries’ mint liqueur, for example. Anderson steeps real mint in the alcohol. “So all of the colour and all of the flavour in the end product is from the mint itself,” he said. “It’s actually kind of interesting from a physics standpoint because it’s bright green, so un-

Scientist at work: New West resident Ian Anderson had intended one day to get a PhD in physics. Instead, he decided to pursue a craft he likens to 19th-century physics – distilling.

ASK A SLEEP EXPERT Does hay fever/allergic rhinitis affect CPAP use?

Yes, nasal congestion can make it very difficult to use CPAP therapy. Heated humidification and a climate controlled hose can greatly decrease the symptoms of nasal congestion, dry nose and throat. A hypoallergenic filter can also help minimize breathing in allergens. Remember to change your filter monthly. Keep the windows closed during pollen season, and make sure that dust/pet dander is not accumulating in the bedroom. Many people find that a daily sinus rinse helps relieve congestion. Prescription nasal sprays or allergy medications can also relieve symptoms. Visit a CanSleep location to speak with a therapist about adjusting your humidity. Breathe Better. Sleep Easy. Live Well.

At what age can my child wear contact lenses?

Contact lenses are a great option for children especially for physical activities. However, a child must be mature enough to tolerate contacts and be motivated to wear DR. JENNIFER DURST them. There is no set age as every child is unique. It’s helpful if parents assess how well their child keeps up with her chores like keeping her bedroom tidy, making his bed and doing things without being told. A proper contact lens ﬁtting and training is absolutely necessary to ensure the lenses ﬁt the eye, and to teach your child good hygiene, proper replacement and disinfecting techniques. Most Optometrists will recommend a daily disposal lens for children to eliminate the need to clean the lenses overnight. More questions?

ow To Get YoungerLooking Skin At Any Age Without Invasive Treatments.

I applaud every woman who wants to keep her skin looking beautiful. Unfortunately, many times to get that younger, healthier skin, it feels like you have to take out a second mortgage!

That’s why I love, love, love galvanic facials. Each one is a multi-tasker (just like you) and you don’t have to break the bank to get the skin you want. The use of galvanic current optimizes the penetration of key ingredients into the facial tissues. Galvanic treatments have long been respected by many as one of the most effective antiaging treatments. With many technologies available in today’s modern market, galvanic treatments are still one of the original advanced treatments in skin health. In fact, you’ll get way more for your money. Here’s how: • Facial Cleanse - I manually cleanse your skin, and then I deep clean it with galvanic current. Clogged pores are swept free; dirt and debris below the surface, just waiting to cause trouble, is eliminated. Your skin is truly clean when we begin the facial. • Sculpt Your Skin - The low-level current “awakens” and stimulates collagen and elastin deep below the surface of your skin. It also exfoliates dead skin on the surface. This dual action is the correction you need for sagging skin, ﬁne lines and wrinkles, acne, and so much more. • Turns Back The Clock - This facial treatment beneﬁts will drive anti-aging and hydrating ingredients deep into the epidermis for penetration and will reveal supple, youthful, hydrated skin. While improving oxygen and circulation in the treated area. • Corrects Imbalances - Is your skin dry, oily, combination, mature, acneic? You’ll get the corrective facial you need to balance your skin type. • Attacks the culprits of aging - The galvanic current pushes anti-aging products deep into your skin, attacking and neutralizing free radicals, those nasty culprits of aging. To achieve multiple results quickly and easily, you’ll love galvanic facials. And I do all of this with no toxins, no harsh chemicals, and no downtime.

Q A

Do Showers Help Dry Skin Stay Moist?

Who doesn’t love a long, hot shower or soak in a hot tub? Yes, they are incredibly lovely and soothing, but for dry skin, very hot water breaks down your lipid barrier KATIE MARSHALL and moisture leaks out, causing dryness and itchiness. It’s best to use warm water then pat dry when you get out of the shower or tub. Follow this with body lotion or oil to seal in moisture. And, of course, don’t forget your facial moisturizer. Epsom salts hold their own in nourishing benefits. Because of its high magnesium and sulfate contents, Epsom salts help relieve sore muscles and fight inflammation. Combined with a variety of essential oils mix peppermint, eucalyptus, rosemary, lavender, and cinnamon — and dried herbs and flowers, your body and mind will both thank you.

When is my pet a senior? What signs should I be watching for?

Depending on the size and breed of your pet, senior wellness testing is recommended starting at 7 or 8 years of age. Senior pets should have a wellness examination and lab work every 6 months as dogs and cats age much more DR. MANJU ARORA quickly than we do. Wellness testing allows us to detect problems early and gives us a baseline for each individual pet.Your senior dog or cat should be checked by a veterinarian if you notice any of the following changes: • Increased or decreased appetite or drinking • Increased urinating • Behaviour Changes (for example cats who are usually affectionate may seek more time alone if not feeling well or vice versa) • Stool changes (soft or liquid stool or less than one bowel movement a day) • Skin Lumps • Difﬁculty running, jumping or stiffness

Q A

Is Montessori Education Unstructured?

Although it may look unstructured, it is the opposite. In reality, Montessori classes are very structured. The difference with PATRICIA LOMELLI Montessori education is that it is very individualized within a frame of limited freedom, set at the preschool level with clear and respectful ways of interaction between the children, their peers, and teachers. In a Montessori environment, children have the opportunity to investigate and learn subjects of interest for as long as they need to. Having said that, the teachers are highly trained to make sure children are exposed to the different areas of the Montessori classroom. Teachers’ observation skills allow them to determine when to introduce a new lesson plan to spark a child’s interest and keep him/her motivated. Children 3 to 5 need consistent, clear ground rules presented in a kind, respectful way. In return, they will know what is expected each day.

Residents want to bring maker space to New West

Patients

Group is looking for members to sign up for a shared space to work on woodworking and other hobbies Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A group of New Westminster and Burnaby residents wants to provide folks with the space and tools needed to pursue hobbies and crafts. The idea is part of the maker space movement, which provides dedicated spaces to people for woodworking, crafts and other hobbies they wouldn’t be able to work on in their own homes. Maker spaces are especially popular in urban communities where it’s common to find people living in small apartments or townhomes that lack things like a garage or extra bedroom to use for projects, according to Elk Ebert, one of the New West residents hoping to bring this movement to the Royal City. “People get together, pay a monthly fee and they use community tools,” Ebert said. Up until eight years ago, Ebert and his wife lived in a house on North Shore. He had a big garage where he could work on his hobbies, which include woodworking, metal and electronic work. Now, however, he

and his wife live in a condo at the Quay.They no longer have the much-loved garage, so Ebert is relegated to working on the balcony when his wife is away. “On the Quay alone, there are 4,500 people, somewhere around there, 1,800 apartments, I believe, and basically (the space is) for people to go do their work. It’s a place also for

teaching younger people how to use tools, so it’s supposed to be a family thing, not just for old crotchety guys to get together,” he said. Ebert discovered the maker movement about five years ago, and while he is not a member of the three existing Vancouver clubs, he does drop by as a visitor from time to time. Back in New West, he

and four others have already committed to founding MakerSpaceWest, but they need an additional 20 others to sign up to make the idea viable, he said. Ebert hopes to have 25 members ready to go by March. The group is open to all New Westminster residents as well as residents living in the east end of Burnaby, he said. The group also has a wish list of tools it would like to buy for the space once it has all its members.That list includes table saws, band saws and vices for woodworking; a light table, soldering station and hand tools for glass crafts and electronics work; drill presses, spot welders and lathes for metal work; easels, props, industrial sewing machines, stone polishers and kilns for arts and crafts projects.The only thing not allowed at a maker space is automotive work. Ebert said the monthly fee would be about $50 per person, and the local group would need about 1,200 to 2,500 square feet to operate.

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new team is leading the New Westminster Hyack Festival Association’s board of directors. Longtime New West resident David Brett is the association’s president for 2017.The board of directors and executive team were recently confirmed at the organization’s Jan. 11 annual general meeting. Brett and first lady Lorraine Brett succeeded outgoing president Alan Wardle and first lady Debbie Wardle. Bryn Ward was appointed presidentelect, while Gloria Munro was confirmed as treasurer, Debora Sutherland was confirmed as secretary and Sean Della Vedova continues as vice-president. Hyack’s directors at large for 2017 are Alan Wardle, Ryan Ferrer, Brenda Adam, Gerda Suess, David MacGrotty and Lili De Capite. Each year, the Hyack president selects a theme for the festival. Brett’s theme is First Nations, First Cities: Telling Our Story,Together. TALKING CHILD CARE New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy wants to have a chat about childcare.

Passing the torch: 2016 Hyack Festival president Alan Wardle, left, welcomes David Brett to his new role as president. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Darcy is hosting two events to get input about child care in New Westminster: Sunday, Jan. 29, 3 to 5 p.m. – Old Crow Coffee Co., 655 Front St.; and Saturday, Feb. 4. 1 to 3 p.m. – TMFox Incubator, 1190 Eighth Ave. (Coun. Mary Trentadue is co-hosting this event.) “The cost is incredibly high, the wait lists are really long,” she said. “It’s an issue I have heard a lot about the last few years.” While people often discuss the high cost of housing, Darcy said it’s expected that housing is everyone’s

top expense. “If you have a young child in full-time childcare, it’s your second highest cost. If you have two kids in childcare it can be your highest cost,” she said. “I’ve been chatting with various parents, mainly moms, in New West about the issue and decided we would organize a series of round tables just to hear from parents in New West about childcare and how it affects them.” Darcy expects to host more sessions in other neighbourhoods, like Sapperton, but dates haven’t been confirmed.

Community COURAGE TO COME BACK

Awards recognize folks who face down adversity Tereza Verenca

tverenca@newwestrecord.ca

Doctors didn’t expect Melanie Carlbeck to survive her first few surgeries. The New West resident was born with spina bifida, a birth defect that leaves a gap in the spine, and in Carlbeck’s case, paralysis below the waist and impairment of lower-body functions. “They told my mom and dad to go find a priest,” Carlbeck, a 2005 Courage to Come Back Award recipient, recalled. But she beat the odds. Carlbeck, now 66, spent time in and out of hospital in her younger years, including 10 months when she was three. Shortly after, she was given a wheelchair. “The elementary years were rough in terms of medically rough. I missed a lot of school, coming back and trying to catch up,” she said. “In those days, they didn’t have learning assistance teachers and what not, so you’re kind of on your own.” With the help of a school administrator, Carlbeck went on to attend UBC and graduated with a bachelor of education in 1972. But going through univer-

sity and living in residence came with its challenges. “Sometimes I’d wait 10 minutes for someone to come along just to get up the curb. I learned that I had to schedule my courses earlier so that there would be people around,” she said. “A lot of professors (thought) nobody’s going to hire you.” Carlbeck returned to her hometown of Trail and taught children with learning disabilities. Her teaching career, which took her to the Langley School District in 1981, spanned 34 years until her retirement in 2006.

Carlbeck’s story is just one example of why Coast Mental Health holds its annual Courage to Come Back Awards. Now in its 19th year, the gala recognizes six individuals from across the province who have overcome adversity, have changed their lives for the better and have helped others do the same. “There really is no small story,” said spokesperson Alyssa Goad. “What people need to realize is what may seem insignificant to them is a huge story to others. A lot of people think, ‘Oh, it’s not that big of a deal that I volunteer 100 hours a month at this place and I struggle with this.’ … Anybody who’s overcome anything is someone who should be celebrated.” Last year’s event raised $1.43 million for Coast Mental Health, which offers programs and housing to people with mental illness. Goad said staff hope to raise the same amount, if not more, on May 16. Interested in nominating someone for an award? The nomination deadline is Feb. 8.

That was some party! Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Fifty years ago, in 1967, people started the year looking forward to a full 12 months of events, festivities and all sorts of wonderful things to celebrate Canada’s 100th birthday. British Columbia had something very special in January, and it happened right here in Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster. The opening of the provincial legislature honouring the anniversary of the first Legislative Council of the United Colony of B.C. took place in the Royal City on Jan. 24, 1967. In 1967, the arena was fully decked out for the provincial legislature’s anniversary meeting, but in 1867, the first such meeting was held in a hall in the former camp of the Royal Engineers. The newspapers of the day in the United Colony of British Columbia and Vancouver Island were filled

with stories of this important event. In New Westminster, the British Columbian paper told the story through weeks of issues. Included in the accounts were remarks about the people coming from the island for the meeting. A naval ship was also to take part in the formality and festivities. The event was very well reported, and the dignitaries in town celebrated with a formal dinner. This was a very important event in the early government of the colonies, and an editorial prominently highlighted that fact. “The opening of the new Legislative Council on Thursday next will be invested with rather greater interest than similar occasions have hitherto been.We understand it is the intention of quite a number of Victorians to come up by the next steamer in order to be present. … We believe that Captain Pritchard’s Corps will fur-

nish a guard of honour for the occasion.” Many people, local and otherwise, gathered for the event.The dignitaries arrived, were met by a guard of honour, then took their places.The governor, Frederick Seymour, was formally greeted, presented his much-awaited speech, and then he left the council to its deliberations. Of his words it was reported: “Probably no public document was ever anticipated with greater interest in British Columbia than the speech of His Excellency the Governor upon the occasion of the opening the first Legislative Council of the United Colony, certainly no public document was ever received with greater satisfaction by this community, and we have no doubt that it will be similarly received by the great bulk of the colonists.” Interesting historical events in 1867 and in 1967 – part of New Westminster’s past.

Blockbuster deal launches Bellies on cup course

By acquiring Mydske, McCready and Stewart, NewWest addresses leadership and skill concerns Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The future is now. When you trade away seven draft picks – including three first round selections – in one swoop, the cards are on the table. The New Westminster Salmonbellies are betting on the coming season, and a few ones after that, following a blockbuster swap with the Langley Thunder. New West acquired veteran defender Brett Mydske, sniper Joel McCready and forward Nathan Stewart for a haul that includes the fifth, sixth, 13th and 20th picks in this year’s Western Lacrosse Association junior draft. The Thunder are also getting journeyman Sean Lundstrom, New West’s 2018 first round pick and selections in rounds two and four in 2020. There is little doubt, with the price being three first rounders-plus, that New West put a huge value on the three players – especially Mydske, the 2015 and ’16 WLA defensive player of the year and first-team all star, as well as a New West minor product. “We’ve had our eye on (Mydske) for quite a while, ever since he was drafted,” New West president and GM Dan Richardson said. “He’s a local kid and what he brings is lacrosse IQ, leadership, a real character guy who is popular with his teammates. “We asked for McCready for similar reasons – he’s an impact player. He’s a bulldog who will crash the net and get up with a smile on his face.” Having dealt 2014 WLA top defender Jeff Cornwall a month ago for the two Langley-bound 2017 first

round picks, Richardson zoomed in to fortify that defensive spot but with a player who could be a better fit chemistry-wise. Mydske, 28, has starred in both the WLA and National Lacrosse League over the years, as well as played for Team Canada at two World championships. Taken second overall in the 2010 WLA draft, he has evolved into a franchise-type player who was a major part in the Thunder’s run to the Mann Cup finals in 2010 and ’11. McCready, meanwhile, scored at better than a goala-game pace with Langley, and is in his seventh pro season as a member of the NLL’s Vancouver Stealth. The St. Catharines, Ont. native didn’t play a game last year in Langley but in four games with Vancouver this season has scored three times and set up nine others as a teammate and occasional linemate with fellow Bellie Logan Schuss. In 2015 the 29-year-old Burnaby firefighter was awarded the NLL’s firstever Teammate of theYear award. A popular teammate, McCready brings a hot stick to the right side and a winning pedigree. Stewart, at 22, is the youngest player in the deal but holds upside as an offensive contributor. A New West native and junior Bellie product, he missed last season due to a torn ACL but is slated to return to the game next month with his Mars Hill Lions university team. “This deal took like six or eight weeks to get done,” remarked Richardson. “This is my 15th year at this and this is by far the biggest deal we have done.We just kept going back to (Langley),

VICTORIA TIMES COLONIST

back and forth and hammered out the final details on Saturday.” The major concern, as it is with every top player, is if they will commit for the coming season, or are considering more lucrative offers from one of Ontario’s richer teams. “I’ve talked to both Brett and Joel and they are very happy to be joining the Bellies,” noted Richardson. “Even with this trade our average age is something like 25.5 years (old), and that’s still young in my books.” Richardson, who just a few weeks earlier acquired the two first round picks

from Maple Ridge, said the deals cap a busy offseason, as he believes this year’s draft wouldn’t produce a game-breaker at either picks 5 or 6, while the incoming

tion is built on, you make the deal.” Richardson said he still has another trade in the works and has an iron or two out in the recruiting field. As to next month’s ju-

nior draft, New West will take a seat until their first pick, which is 41st overall. All these changes were partially to address issues that left a sour taste in management’s mouth after falling to Maple Ridge in last year’s semifinals. Getting to a league final isn’t the goal, said Richardson, as he and head coach Steve Goodwin are targeting a national championship run. “This lineup on paper reminds me of our teams in 2007 and ’08,” said Richardson. “Our goal is to not just be competitive in our league, but with (Ontario).” The WLA draft is slated for Feb. 16 in Vancouver.

Schultz strings together personal bests for Kansas State Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The transition to university track star is well on its way for New Westminster’s Nina Schultz. The 18-year-old freshman at Kansas State University launched her indoor collegiate track career with a couple of strong showings, suitably highlighted by a string of personal bests.

At last week’s DeLoss Dodds Invitational in Manhattan, Kan., the former Hyack led a standout team performance in the pentathlon, capturing top honours with 4,042 points, nearly 400 more points than her nearest rival. With that, the first-year university student moved into ninth place on Kansas State’s all-time event list. To achieve that, Schultz locked

up the best showings in the 60-metre hurdles, the high jump, long jump and shot put. She won the hurdles race with a time of 8.60 seconds, the high jump with a height of 1.78m, long jump, reaching 5.65m, and shot put, with a throw of 11.11m. Schultz also placed fourth in the 800m, with a time of 34.26. All were indoor personal bests. It only took her second event to

leapfrog her into the school’s record books, as her high jump mark put her into a tie for seventh place in all-time pentathlon results. On the next day, she finished third in the women’s 60-metre hurdles, with an indoor personal best of 8.49 seconds, just a split second back of teammate and second-place finisher Ariel Orkorie. Schultz’s time also put her seventh in the Wildcats’ all-time list.

A week earlier at the Bill Easton Classic in Lawrence, Kan., the reigning B.C. high school heptathlon champion and Canadian high jump youth record holder topped the 60m hurdles and finished third in high jump – each time setting a temporary personal best along the way.

Hyacks in playoff form

As the playoffs near, the New Westminster Hyacks continue to demonstrate that they’re ready for bear. The senior girls basketball team gained some valuable confidence coming off the tough Top-10 Shootout two weeks ago by cruising past the competition in the Collingwood Cav Classic in Vancouver. New West took the title by dispatching Crofton House 79-29, led by player-of-thegame Devin Strome’s 18 points. Chipping in 17 points and receiving the tourney MVP award was guard Sarah For-

gie, while Sean He chipped in eight points. In the semifinal, the Hyacks clipped Sardis 67-58, with Forgie tallying a tournament-high 27 points. Strome was nearly as red-hot, scoring 25 points, while player of the game Natalie Nastase netted 15 points. New West opened the tourney by trouncing West Point Grey 69-25, with Strome counting 15 points and Tianna Gough and Nastase adding seven each. In Monday’s league test, New West beat Cariboo Hill 65-27, getting 15 points from Milanna Obrovac and 13 from Jamie Butts.

MAYR, Olga 1921-2017

It is with profound sadness that we announce that Olga died peacefully on January 15, 2017, after each of her children had a chance to come home and say goodbye. She is predeceased by her husband, Louis Mayr. She is survived by her four children: Judy (Roman), John (Barbara), David (Kristina), and Douglas (Michelle); loved and cherished by grandchildren, Alexandra, Samantha, Justina, Raphaela and Mabel. Olga enjoyed family, stitching, learning, and pretty much everything, living and otherwise. Olga immigrated to Lucky Lake, SK, finished highschool and became a registered nurse, moved west and married Louis in 1955. Mom was a masterful knitter, seamstress and stitcher. Always interested in world news, lived a healthy life and treasured time with family. Olga lived in New Westminster for 60 years and relished her view of the Fraser River and beyond. She was a gentle and kind soul, full of warmth and stories. She was loved by all and will be forever in our hearts. A very dear and gracious lady has been freed from the bonds of earth and is safe in the arms of heaven. Memories of Olga’s life will be shared at a later date.

There’s no better place to be when you want to enjoy mouth-watering food with friends. Truly a neighbourhood pub, we love our community and are grateful to all our loyal customers, who are like family to us. Paddlewheeler Pub offers great food at reasonable prices and a variety of entertainment, including Sports, UFC, Karaoke, Trivia Night, Live Bands and Weekly Meat Draws in support of the New West Purpose Society. We also see regular performances by local favourites such as Comedy Magician Rod Boss and Psychic Reader Cher. Sunday Night Jams hosted by the Mad Man Lindsay Band have certainly brought out many great surprises from celebrities to amazing talented bands and solo artists. “It’s definitely worth checking out a Jam Night,” says Janet Lucarino, Pub Manager. Paddlewheeler Pub also features 11 televisions with three giant screens to catch all the action of your favourite teams in the NFL, CFL, NHL, PGA, CBL and UFC PPV, to name a few. The hallmark of any neighbourhood pub is long-term and knowledgeable staff, which we’re proud to have. We also expect new food flavourings and exciting offerings in February with the introduction of Chef Gilino San Diego as our new Kitchen Manager. Chef Gilino comes to us with a myriad of experience and ideas, and is a welcome addition to the team.
