WINTER

Snow hits city budget Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The winter’s snowfall is taking its toll on Royal City roads and the city’s budget. Colleen Ponzini, the city’s manager of financial services, said the city has spent about $400,000 more than anticipated for snow removal in the 2016 budget, but there have been savings in other areas, so the city is on track to have a slight surplus for the year. She said the engineering department may have to reassess its 2017 work plan as a result of the recent snowfalls. “Our roads are getting pretty beaten up,” noted Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “There is a lot of damage done by both the snow and the snow removal.” Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering, said the city has allocated about $3.6 million to this year’s Continued on page 10

A TASTE FOR WINTER Three-year-old Ourigan Fletcher likes the taste of the freshly fallen snow on the waterfront. But the snow has been less kind to the city’s budget, with the city running $400,000 over budget for snow removal so far. It all looks set to change soon, though: This weekend’s forecast calls for a chance of showers on Saturday and Sunday and mostly sun on Family Day Monday. Temperatures will hover between 2 and 7 C.

CITY APPROVES NEW HERITAGE REVITALIZATION DEAL

Plans blend heritage with new development Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Two developments in the Brow of the Hill could be a sign of things to come in New Westminster. New Westminster city

council has approved an official community plan amendment and a heritage revitalization agreement for 612 to 618 Brantford St., where the applicant is proposing to build a sixstorey, wood-frame, mul-

ti-unit building and restore the 1890 Fulton/Thompson house on the site.While an area resident suggested the house appears to have little heritage value other than its age, council voted unanimously in favour of the pro-

ject. “I think it is very important that we leverage protection of heritage in redevelopment or new developments,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “It is a really positive tool that we

can use to protect those resources.That is an 1800s home.” Although there may have been some alterations done to the home’s exterior, Puchmayr believes it will be “a very attractive as-

set in the community” once the developer completes the restoration. He pointed to the development at Eighth Street and Fourth Avenue as a good example of a site where heritage homes have Continued on page 3

MASSEY THEATRE Coco Love Alcorn & Khari Wendell McClelland A Powerful Evening of Soul & Gospel If you haven’t been to the Massey Theatre lately, now may be the time to take a fresh look. With incredible diversity of performances, The Massey has something for everyone, and their upcoming concert is testament to the accomplished artists taking the stage.

PRESENTS

Saturday, February 11th •11 am to 5 pm

For one night only, The Massey is pleased to introduce you to a thrilling double bill of two rising stars, Coco Love Alcorn and Khari Wendell McClelland, who are teaming up for a powerful evening of soul and gospel music on Thursday, March 9th at 7:30pm.

Meet Joanna and see her entire collection. 421 Richmond Street, New Westminster, BC Art Consulting Services • Please contact Trudy Van Dop PH: 604.521.7887 or E: trudy@vandopgallery.com

Both are individually known for their extraordinary voices and talents, each is an accomplished artist in their own right. Coco Love Alcorn’s career has spanned over 20 years, 10 albums, cross-Canada tours, collaborations, festival appearances, award nominations and notable success in TV and film. She was influenced by a combination of diverse musical genres including jazz, pop, RNB, and folk and includes artists as Charlie Park, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. With this combination of diverse musical influences she creates joyful soul music with songs that spring from her personal journey, but are true to her nature. The press has hailed her voice as extraordinary, beautiful, and stunning. Khari Wendell McClelland is a diversely talented and ever-evolving musician. Khari’s songwriting crosses genres and generations, invoking the spirit of his ancestors who straddled the United States-Canada border in efforts to escape slavery and discrimination. His music draws from this rich history, integrating the rhythms and folklore of early African-Americans with contemporary sounds and stories of struggle. Khari’s performances are evocative and confirm how powerful his voice and stage presence are. It has been said “he sings as if he swallowed an amplifier, reaching the last seats in the room with operatic clarity”. Khari’s poetic mind and open heart are omni-present in his genre-defying music. Treat yourself to be entertained at the Massey, the evening promises to be an exceptional night in the theatre as an 80-member choir joins these two talents for a portion of the concert.

Up Front ‘WOMAN MEANS SOMETHING’

Pastor takes on transgender rights Poster campaign speaks out against Bill C-16, which would protect gender expression and identity in the Human Rights Act Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster pastor said it’s not right to compare his campaign against adding gender identity and gender expression clauses to the Canadian Human Rights Act with neo-Nazi posters found in the city last month. “I love trans people. I love de-trans people. I love gays and straights. I value and respect all people,” New West Community Church pastor Paul Dirks told the Record,

I value and respect all people. “but there are other things at play here in regards to women and their protection.” Posters promoting Dirks’s Woman Means Something campaign, which opposes proposed legislation that would add gender expression and gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds of discrimination, popped up in Vancouver’s Davie Street neighbourhood last week. They are addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, stating “In order

to be a Feminist, you have to believe WOMAN means something.Take action against Bill C-16.” LGBTQ advocates have called the posters anti-transgender. “The underlying principle is hateful,” said Trans Alliance Society chair Morgane Oger, who is also the provincial NDP candidate for Vancouver-False Creek. “This man is proposing to deny me my human rights.” But Dirks said the purpose of the campaign is to protect women’s safe spaces because the proposed legislation could lead to men being allowed into women’s washrooms and change rooms. “The bill opens spaces for predators to come in,” Dirks said. The website attached to the campaign, which Dirks said involves about 20 people, including radical feminists and social conservatives, lists reports of voyeurism and sexual violence in gender-neutral spaces. “People haven’t thought through this, so we’re raising awareness,” Dirks said. Oger, however, calls the campaign fearmongering and said passing Bill C-16 wouldn’t make women less safe in bathrooms. “It’s not based on fact,” she said. “Trans women

have been using women’s spaces for almost two decades in Canada.” The proposed legislation would do nothing legally to open up women’s safe spaces, according to Oger, because it’s not actually currently illegal for a man to enter a women’s washroom. She called the bathroom issue “a façade” for opposing trans rights. To Oger, Bill C-16 is important because adding gender expression and identity to the prohibited grounds for discrimination, would, among other things, allow

for crimes against trans people to be tracked. “Hate crimes against trans people need to be tracked,” she said. “I’m tired

The underlying principle is hateful. of living in a world where I have an eight per cent chance of dying by homicide.” Oger also questioned why

Dirks, a straight man, was taking it upon himself to argue against Bill C-16 on behalf of women. “I can’t help but to notice that this is a man telling women who they are and what they should do and what they should allow,” she said. Dirks said he is taking the issue on to protect the women he knows, including his daughter and wife. “Some of them feel that the politicization of the issue means that they’re silenced,” Dirks said. “When you speak out, even if you’re

saying, ‘I love trans people, I love de-trans people, I love gay, I love straight, I value every single person,’ you’re still labelled a Nazi or transphobic.” To Oger, however, there is no way to love trans people and oppose Bill C-16 at the same time. “No, you can’t,” she said, “because this bill is about trans people, and the rest is all just a fancy, shiny façade.”

Heritage homes coexist with condo developments Continued from page 1 been restored and incorporated into a new development. According to Puchmayr, the developer will benefit from the extra density, which will compensate the company for the restoration of the home. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said there are two conversations now underway in the city – one around preserving heritage and another about finding ways to provide family-friendly and ground-

This is a type of development that the city would like to encourage based housing. “I think it’s important that we use HRAs (heritage revitalization agreements) when we can to preserve those older houses while

still allowing that density to take place,” he said. Mayor Jonathan Cote said he anticipates more projects like this could be considered in the future. “I think it is safe to say that this is a type of development that the city would like to encourage, particularly in areas like uptown and Brow of the Hill, where you have some interesting heritage assets mixed with neighbourhoods that are seeing some medium-density developments,” he said.

How can we save heritage neighbourhoods? Theresa McManus

Saving heritage

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Heritage advocates are hopeful second time’s a charm for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. Queen’s Park resident Kathleen Langstroth hopes NewWestminster will follow the lead of cities like Port Moody, Abbotsford,Victoria and Kelowna and create a conservation area in her neighbourhood. She noted there are nearly 60 conservation areas across B.C. “The misconception is that when you say ‘heritage’ people think you are talking about the big, grand, old houses. Heritage is the cottages and the bungalows, and the ’40s houses and the mid-century modern houses.Those are the houses that need to be saved,” said Langstroth, who has restored three houses in the city. “The neighbourhood is made up of diverse housing stock – in size, in age.” Steve Norman, vice-president of the Queen’s Park Residents’ Association, said houses in his neighbourhood represent about 110 years of the city’s history. “People will say, ‘It’s only 50 years old, why are you bothering to save it?’Well, if it’s 50 years old, in 50 years it will be 100 years old, and you might think it is wonderful at that point. It never gets to be 100 years old if you blast it out of here now,” he said. “Once they are gone, they’re gone.You can’t get them back.” A conservation area, stressed Norman, doesn’t mean houses in the neighbourhood can’t ever be demolished. “The main reason for a conservation area is demolitions aren’t automatic,” he explained. “They must

WHAT IS A HERITAGE CONSERVATION AREA?

A conservation area is a distinct and identifiable neighbourhood, characterized by its historic values, that is identified in the city’s official community plan for heritage conservation purposes.

ARE THEY COMMON?

Britney Quail, a planning analyst with the city, says there are about 20 conservation areas in the Lower Mainland.

WHY QUEEN’S PARK?

A delegation of residents appeared before council in May 2013 to express concern about the loss of heritage assets in the neighbourhood and the appropriateness of replacement homes. The city established a working group to consider the creation of a conservation area and that group recommended the city explore the establishment of a conservation area for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood.

go through a process, and city council can say no, and there are no repercussions to them saying no. Under the current law, if somebody comes along and they dare to say no, they can be sued.” Norman said a conservation area also gives residents some clarity on what can happen in their neighbourhood – and what it could look like.

It’s like an ingredient in a pie “It’s like the weather – you can’t control it, but a conservation area does keep the weather a little bit under control.Your barometer is not going to swing wildly on you,” he said. “We are looking for something with a little more certainty for the neighbourhood.” The plan being consid-

ered by city council could include different levels of protection for homes in the neighbourhood, taking into account factors such as their age, design and severity of changes being proposed. Those details are still being developed. “Every house is important,” Norman said. “It’s like an ingredient in a pie. You take out the sugar and you don’t have a pie anymore.” Norman said there are some misunderstandings in the community about conservation areas. He said they only apply to the outside of homes so owners can make whatever changes they want inside and they don’t affect the zoning of a property. “Whatever rights you have with your zoning and adding on, it’s all still there,” he said. “It’s just that it’s got to go through a hoop where somebody says, that’s an appropriate design or that’s not.” Suggestions that a conser-

vation area would negatively affect property values are unfounded, Norman said, as research shows just “the exact opposite” occurs. He said houses in conservation areas increase in value and tend to react slower when there is a downturn in the market. Last Monday, city council directed staff to create a first draft of a conservation area policy and design guidelines. Britney Quail, a planning analyst with the city, said it won’t be a “one-size-fits-all” plan for the neighbourhood. Staff will present council with a few options. If a conservation area is approved, when new homes are built in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, they would be subject to mandatory design guidelines. Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said design guidelines would be mandatory because builders won’t use them if they’re optional. She stressed that all homeown-

IS THERE MUCH SUPPORT?

Of the 106 people who attended two public open houses, 76 per cent supported the establishment of a conservation area, while 13 per cent indicated moderate support and 11 per cent didn’t support the idea.

ers would still have the right to apply for demolitions, but they may need to seek council’s approval. According to Langstroth, about 30 houses in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood have been demolished in the past decade. “Some people are coming in here, they love the neighbourhood and they love the

WHAT ARE THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF HOUSES?

The 600 properties in Queen’s Park come in a variety of styles: pre-Colonial era (pre 1900); boom time (1900 to 1929); wartime (1930 to 1949); postmodern (1950 to 1975); and contemporary (1976 to present.)

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

While the city works on the development of a conservation area, a one-year heritage control period is in place, and property owners must get council’s approval for a heritage alteration permit in order to demolish homes built before Dec. 31, 1996. To date, the city has received and considered five demolition applications: 215 Manitoba St. (approved); 105 College Ct. (opposed); 222 Fifth Ave. (opposed); 412 Third St. – a house destroyed by fire (approved); and 326 Arbutus St. (approved.)

WHAT’S NEXT?

Staff will create a draft conservation area policy and design guidelines for council’s consideration in late February. That will be followed by another round of public consultation in March, a report back to council in April and a public hearing in May.

Opinion OUR VIEW

If you can’t drive in the snow, stay home Right when you thought spring was around the corner – bam – another big dump. Friday saw, yet again, drivers spinning their wheels, careening down hills and bumping into each other like tots learning to skate at the local ice rink. And we’re sure the chaos will continue if the forecast storm – which hadn’t yet arrived as this paper was going to press – has indeed materialized by the time you

read this. Yes, mayhem on the roads all makes for some funny videos. But we won’t be laughing when our ICBC rates go up following the increased accident costs. We understand why folks in the Lower Mainland may be horrified by a couple of inches of snow, but what we just can’t understand is why people who either don’t have winter tires, or who just can’t drive in the snow, decide to go out.

Unless you are the emergency doctor or nurse on shift at your local hospital, there are few good reasons why you should drive in the snow. Surely you can do without your latte for the day. And if your workplace really needs you, you can take transit, or walk, or carpool with someone who is going to work and who knows how to drive in the snow. Yes, it will take longer. Yes, it is a pain. But it’s a

whole lot less painful than wrecking your car and possibly injuring yourself or someone else. It appeared that after the first big snowfall, cities, including New Westminster, were out earlier and more frequently, brining, sanding and salting streets. Also, more folks were shovelling their sidewalks or their neighbours’ to avoid layers of icy accumulations. And all that is a good thing.

The December storms cost the city $400,000 more than anticipated (although savings elsewhere could lead to a small surplus). With this latest storm, city staff may have to jiggle some capital projects. Cities are in a tough spot when it comes to snow budgets. It’s a gamble in B.C.The last big snow storms were in 2008. The city is in a no-win situation. Buying more snow-

plows would seem to be excessive if we only saw a big snowstorm every eight years.Would taxpayers pay more taxes to have faster and better snow clearance? We think not. The reality is that as soon as the snow melts and cherry blossoms appear, this winter will just be another great story to share with folks back east, who will sit back and roll their eyes at our snow innocence.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Broken promise is a big relief Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has decided not to go through with one of his campaign promises, and we should all breathe a sigh of relief. Trudeau will not arbitrarily reform the federal electoral system. He promised to do so during the 2015 election campaign, but it was a bad promise.This is not to say electoral reform is a poor idea that should never happen. But for a political leader to impose on all Canadians a new and specific system of electing politicians takes an anti-democratic approach towards a fundamental part of democracy. The chief problem with Trudeau’s election promise is that it was vague.There are a number of alternatives to our current first-pastthe-post system, but none of them were put in front of the voters. Some supporters of electoral reform favour a pure proportional representation model. Others advocate for a ranked (or preferential) ballot. Still others would like to see a mixed-member proportional system.Then there is the single transferable vote, a system that British Columbians have twice defeated in provincial referendums. For the Trudeau government to arbitrarily choose one of these systems (no matter how much consultation occurred) and enshrine it into law would have been unacceptable to the vast majority of Canadians. Even electoral reform ad-

vocates would likely have screamed murder if their own particular and beloved alternative wasn’t the model adopted. Political activists, particularly those on the left and members of fringe parties (such as the federal Green party), push for electoral change because, for many, it provides the only means available for their entry onto the elected political scene. The process the Trudeau government used to gain public input into any proposed changes to the electoral system underscored the many problems his promise created. First of all, there was not even a hint of consensus emerging over a specific and particular alternative to the current system. Second, the general public tuned the process out. There’s no doubt Trudeau’s credibility will suffer with some voters because of this debacle, but I very much doubt it’s a fatal wound. He ultimately made the right decision, and it’s a good one for the nation. With worldwide political unrest unfolding constantly, and given the tumultuous state of politics south of the border, now is not the time to impose a new way of electing politicians. Trudeau broke one of his promises. But it’s time to move on and focus on some of his more substantive and realistic ones. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Islamophobia is troubling for Canada

We must not forget that throughout history atrocities have been, and are still, committed by people of all faiths. Paul Esslinger, New Westminster

Dear Editor: I am a Canada-born and -raised Canadian citizen. Wanting to see more of the Silk Road, in 2013 my wife and I took a summer holiday with our kids aged four and 13 visiting Turkey, Uzbekistan and Iran (even staying in the homes of locals). Despite the bad press, we have found people in Islamic countries to be the most welcoming. The Islamic provWe can be more erb, “A guest is a gift of God” effective through may have education accounted for our warm reception. I am very disturbed by the Islamophobia being generated by elected leaders both here and abroad. I recall a shop owner in Isfahan, Iran asking what had happened to Canada; we had recently sent home Iranian diplomats and closed their Canadian embassy here. We can be more effective through education and engagement than through isolationism.

Thanks for speaking up for the city’s birds Dear Editor: Thank you for publishing “Spreading our wings: It’s a different world” in last week’s paper. I was moved to send a letter to the mayor and council supporting Rob Butler in his request that the city adopt an official bird strategy. I think this is all the more urgent now due to the recent and intense construction activity that is going on in our neighbourhoods. The city’s tree bylaw is important, but there is also a need to acknowledge the essential habitat for birds that live in our shrubs and hedges and affect our quality of life in this city. Hearing the birds amongst the city noise is essential in creating a livable human environment. Thank you for acknowledging that we have such a great opportunity to give bird awareness a role in New Westminster with having Rob Butler as a resident. Laura Jones, New Westminster

City CITY HALL

Homeowners will pay more taxes in 2017 Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Royal City residents will be on the hook for increases to property taxes and utilities in 2017. On Monday, council received a staff report recommending a 2.98 per cent tax increase, which represents the cost of paying for ongoing municipal services, increases related to salaries and benefits, and staff to deal with workload issues and strategic initiatives. Capital projects being funded in 2017 include maintenance and replacement of transportation infrastructure and equipment, renovations to city hall and the public library, reloca-

tion of the animal services facility and tow yard, upgrades to railway crossings, construction of the Front Street mews and the Canada Games Pool project. “For an average residential strata home assessed at $396,000, the increase would be $31 in taxes and $36 in utility fees,” said Colleen Ponzini, the city’s manager of financial services. “For an average singlefamily dwelling assessed at $1.1 million, the increase would be $89 in taxes and $66 in utility fees, and for a residential property on the high end, assessed at $2 million, the increase would be $158 in taxes and $66 in utility fees.” A business assessed at

$2.1 million will see a $670 tax increase, a light-industry business assessed at $4.2 million will have an increase of $1,870 and a heavy industrial business assessed at $45.8 million will get an increase of $38,989. On the residential front, Ponzini said the city ranks eighth out of 19 municipalities in Metro Vancouver in terms of property taxes, and 11th when taxes and utilities are combined. In addition to the property tax increase, residents will also see a 3.5 per cent increase to the electrical rate, a four per cent increase to the water rate, a seven per cent increase to the sewer rate and a one per cent increase to the solid

waste rate. Despite the need to replace aging infrastructure and to make system upgrades to address the rapid

My concern is, what is going to happen down the road?

growth in the region, Ponzini said the city does its best to keep increases down. While the city has the second highest rates for the sewer utility because of its aging infrastructure and a

requirement to separate the combined sewer and storm water system, she said the city’s water and solid waste rates are below the average in Metro Vancouver. From 2018 to 2021, staff project annual increases of seven per cent in the sewer utility, three per cent in the electric utility, four per cent in the water utility and one per cent in the solid waste utility. New Westminster resident Larry Church is concerned about the rising tax rate in the city and the impact the projected 40,000 new residents will have on taxes. “New West, under MLS, is one of the highest taxed areas. It’s a concern for me

as a senior because we don’t have income that we can draw on for these increases,” he said. “My concern is, what is going to happen down the road?” Although this year’s budget has about $800,000 in new revenue attributed to new construction, Mayor Jonathan Cote said that growth also puts pressure on city services. “There are two sides to that coin,” he said. “As the city does grow, there’s no doubt that increases the revenue the city gets in, but also as the population grows the demand for services and other activities also grows.”

Winter weather wreaking havoc on New West roads Continued from page 1 pavement management program, an increase from $3.2 million in 2016. He said the engineering department will report back to council about its 2017 capital plan in early March. Queen’s Park resident

Mark Fox is urging the city to “make Oakland Street great” by paving the 100 block of the street this year. With crews having completed underground service work on Oakland Street, he said it’s a perfect time to repave the street that’s been

deteriorating for 30 years. “Safety is a concern for drivers and cyclists,” he said. Through photographs and a video of the 100 block of Oakland Street, residents highlighted concerns about potholes and uneven surfac-

es on the road. With this year’s snow conditions, Mayor Jonathan Cote said “there are a number of Oakland streets” in New West needing repairs. Although Oakland Street was included in this year’s pavement management pro-

gram, nothing has been cast in stone. City staff is re-evaluating this year’s pavement management program in light of increased needs because of the damage bad weather has caused to roads. “We are looking at it very

closely, and there may be a need to defer some of the roadwork that we had previously planned, but we are evaluating that at this point,” Lowrie said.

Longtime New Westminster musician Paul Leahy was remembered at an emotional tribute concert the day after his death at a Surrey hospice last month. “Paul took his last gentle breath on Thursday (Jan. 26) as we held hands in the quiet of the night,” his wife Kimiko Karpoff told the Record. “He was surrounded in love.” On Jan. 27, nearly 300 people gathered at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver and paid tribute to the local indie musician’s life and the music he loved. “It was a joy and tearfilled night,” Karpoff said. Among the performers, which included Polly Suit, forged from members of Leahy’s bands Pleasure Suit and Polly, was Leahy’s 20-year-old son Finn, a vocal artist. Leahy, a fixture on the Lower Mainland’s music scene for 35 years, was diagnosed with inoperable oral cancer in October.

His musical career included time with the Toys and No Fun in the early years and then the Transvestimentals, Pleasure Suit, Hello Polly and, finally, Polly. Along with the concert, which doubled as a tribute and fundraiser for Leahy’s family, friends and fellow musicians also launched a crowdfunding campaign three months ago, which has raised $11,170 (as of

Starring as Mrs. Robinson is a performer who’ll be familiar to New West folks – former school trustee Lori Watt (now a resident of Burnaby). She’s joined by New West resident Katherine Morris as Mrs. Braddock. Thomas Gage stars as Benjamin, with Janine Guy as Elaine, Kerry Van Sickle as Mr. Braddock and Kimball Finigan as Mr. Robinson.

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Spring break. Whether those two words fill your heart with glee or with dread probably depends very much on whether you’re a student, a teacher or a parent.

Arts & Entertainment Public art photography planned for downtown Two new public art installations in New Westminster will be focusing on photography. Two large-scale temporary photo installations will adorn two walls in New Westminster as part of an annual photography festival. The city has approved installations for a wall at 350 Columbia St. and a wall at

610 Sixth St. “This project is in partnership with the Capture Photography Festival, which is an annual festival. It takes place over one year,” said Biliana Velkova, the city’s arts coordinator. “It opens in April 2017, so the minimum that we would like the art to be up on those two sites is one year.The mate-

rial itself lasts for up to five years.” A staff report stated that the art and photography will be viewed by residents, commuters and visitors to the city.The city has endorsed a jury’s recommendation of art for the two locations in New Westminster. ! The UFCW Local 1518 building at 350 Columbia

A staff report states that the total budget for both installations is $60,000, which will come out of the city’s public art fund.While the festival itself lasts one year, Velkova said the artwork may remain on the buildings for a longer period. – Theresa McManus

A New Westminster mom wants the public to know how important it is to donate to Variety – the Children’s Charity after being on the receiving end of a grant. Shannon Watts’ son Ryker was diagnosed with severe ADHD at the age of five. She admits she had no idea how bad it would get when he got to kindergarten. “He ran off school grounds. ... 13 times,” Watts told the Record. “He would be very violent with his education assistant or even me, and destructive as well, too. He would take other children’s artwork off the wall and rip it into pieces, and things like that.” Last January, the school informed the family Ryker could only attend half days because of his behaviour.Watts’ personal life also took a hit when Ryker’s father left. Since Ryker’s dad was the main support for child care,Watts had to go on a stress leave from work, and she’s still at home with her son until things get sorted out. Ryker’s first assessment was with an occupational therapist, who recommended he attend sessions regularly.Watts looked into whether her work covered the private meetings but found out it didn’t. She then applied for a Variety grant and was successful.The charity approved 36 occupational therapy (OT) sessions, which started last October. “Without him going to these OT sessions, despite all the work the school has

done, I don’t think that he would be in school. It came to a point where they were ready to kick him out,” she said. Watts said she’s seen a huge difference in Ryker’s behaviour because of the therapy, including expressing that he’s upset before he reacts, and taking more of an interest in writing and school. Going to occupational therapy on a weekly basis has also allowed him to bond with the therapist, said Watts. “It’s the one place I don’t ever have Ryker resist going to.” Occupational therapy has also helped Watts understand her son’s sensory needs, she said. Ryker was recently diag-

nosed with a language disorder,Watts noted. She hopes Variety will come through once again and provide funding for a language pathologist. “There is little to no government funding for children with these diagnoses, so getting these therapies that my child desperately needs are left to me,” said Watts, adding she wants to eventually go back to work. “I never thought that I would be on the receiving end, but I am so grateful that Variety is here to help.” TheVariety Show of Hearts Telethon, which raises money to help B.C.’s special needs children, is on Feb. 12.

Community VIPs join in the fun for Hyack President’s Tea Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It was a full house for the Hyack Festival Association’s annual President’s Tea. More than 120 guests attended the Jan. 29 event at Dunwood Place seniors’ residence, where the new Hyack ambassador leadership candidates were introduced. Guests included Mayor Jonathan Cote, Coun. LorrieWilliams, Senator Yonah Martin and school trustee Jonina Campbell, as well as representatives from ambassador programs in Quesnel andWhite Rock. The Hyack ambassador awards gala weekend gets underway on Feb. 17 at the Justice Institute of B.C. with its First Night event featuring speeches and presentations by the candidates. The Evening of Stars gala is on Feb. 18 at the Laura C. Muir Theatre in Douglas College, where the six leadership candidates will be installed as ambassadors (with

the mandate of ‘serving our community and representing our city’) and the title scholarship of Miss New Westminster and Hyack Princess will be awarded. Tickets for both events are available at www.event brite.ca (search for Hyack). ZHOOSH SEEKS SUPPORT FOR PARKINSON’S PROGRAMS ZHOOSH Fitness Garage is seeking space for programs for folks with Parkinson’s. Robyn Murrell has announced she’s closing the doors to ZHOOSH Fitness Garage on March 31, a business she’s operated at 110-131 11th St. for the past three years. “At this time our main goal is to find a space for our clients who are fighting back against Parkinson’s,” said a press release from the local business. “Our two Parkinson-specific exercise programs, Rock Steady Boxing NewWest and ParkinsonWellness Recovery, are vital to the health and

well-being of those affected by the disease.” ZHOOSH is seeking volunteers for its Rock Steady Boxing program and welcomes volunteers to fill a variety of roles including administration duties, fundraising and newsletter. For more information, email clarksonheidi@gmail. com. CITY MAKES THE LIST The City of NewWestminster has been deemed to be the 12th most “open city” in Canada. The Public Sector Digest, in partnership with Canada’s Open Data Exchange, released a list of the Top 20 open cities in Canada as a way of highlighting Canada’s leading open data communities. Edmonton topped the list, followed by Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Surrey.The city’s open data website includes information such as demographic profiles, land use, locations of park benches and wheelchair ramps, a tree inventory, school walking routes,

and electrical and zoning information.You can find it at opendata.newwestcity.ca. NewWestminster didn’t make it into the Top 10 Open Cities list for 2015 when it was published in January 2016 but later filled out the survey and earned seventh place on the list.

A year later it placed 12th, but the editor of Public Sector Digest said that’s still impressive. “NewWestminster continues to punch above its weight in terms of the advancement of its open data program,” said Tyler Sutton. “Its drop in the Top

20 list is a reflection of the many new municipalities that joined the study this year, including Quebec City, a high performer in municipal open data. Sixty-eight municipalities participated in the 2016 Open Cities Index, compared to 33 in 2015.”

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

WHAT’S UP? Amabilis Singers present Love is in the Air!, a Valentine’s-themed tribute to love, on Saturday, Feb. 18 at 8 p.m. WHERE? New Westminster Christian Reformed Church, 8255 13th Ave., Burnaby WHAT’S ON THE PROGRAM?

Director Ramona Luengen and pianist Ingrid Verseveldt will lead the choir in a tribute to love, through songs both familiar and unfamiliar. Familiar songs by George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Lennon and McCartney take their place alongside works by Matthew Harris, Morten Lauridsen and even the words of William Shakespeare himself in this all-ages concert.

“Remember: a ticket to this concert will fare far better than offering your sweetheart another lacklustre, humdrum box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day,” says a write-up about the evening. “Hey! What if we promise to have chocolate as well? …” TICKET INFO Tickets are $20, or free for kids under 12. They’re available from choir members, at the door (cash only) or call 604-503-2074. See www.amabilissingers.org for more details.

If music be the food of love: The Amabilis Singers return to the stage on Saturday, Feb. 18 for Love is in the Air!, a Valentine’s-themed concert at New Westminster Christian Reformed Church. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

I don’t wear glasses and I see just fine, so I don’t need an eye exam, or do I?

Everyone needs an eye exam from the age of 3 years old and up. The DR. S. BACHRA reason is that many Co-Owner & Chief Optometrist various health conditions can be discovered through an eye exam. In fact, eye health is an indicator of other potential problems such as high cholesterol and diabetes. In one recent case, we discovered a small tumor attached to the back of the eye in a 14 year-old girl and this diagnosis probably saved her life. Moreover, the only way to know if you “see just fine” is to get your vision tested by an actual Optometrist, so we recommend adults get a comprehensive eye exam every two years and every single year for seniors and children.

ASK A TANNING EXPERT

Q A

What are some tips about tanning during winter months & Vitamin D?

With Valentine’s Day so close, why not give your sweetheart the gift of healthy looking skin and some much needed vitamin D during these winter months? In the winter, tanning is all the more signiﬁcant. With the little amount of sunlight available many people lack vitamin D, a compound that is critical to good health. Vitamin D is produced when your body is exposed to UV rays, which usually come from the sun. However, in the winter, with very short days and most people staying indoors, vitamin D becomes scarce. Coming to Beach House Tanning & Swimwear will give you that summer boost of UV that your skin needs to start making vitamin D and energize your body with sunshine and give you the power to beat the dead of winter. Keep this in mind during those cold winter days! See you soon at Beach House Tanning & Swimwear!

OUR OWN CELEBRATION “First comes Love…”

Love! It just happened one day. That day you were watching your partner do that ordinary thing that they always do. You looked at them differently, in that moment. It wasn’t with that feeling of breathless excitement that you normally see in them. It was with the knowing that your lives had become soulfully entwined, and living without them was just not an option. “Then comes Marriage…” You want to grow with this person and build a history with them, not just grow old together. Getting married feels important and making that decision was easy and natural. You have achieved that I’m-a-part-of-you/ you’re-a-part-of-me depth to your relationship and you want your Wedding Ceremony to reﬂect that part of who you both have become. For you, the commitment and the marriage rites are potent and authentic. You want to make a meaningful public promise to this amazing person, who means more to you than anyone else you’ve ever known. Perhaps you’ve attended typical and ordinary wedding ceremonies. Conservative. Outdated. Boring. The “legal part” you just want to get over with, so everyone can get on with the party. Together, we will co-create the ceremony of your dreams! A Customized Ceremony is a hand-crafted ceremony written just for you. From your answers to some very simple questions, and the dialogue between us, I will design, write and deliver your ceremony that will stand out and be completely different from anyone else’s. It’s what makes me unique as a Celebrant. When you laugh together every day, just because. You like the way your souls feel when you are together. Walking together on this journey, no matter what life brings, is where your heart’s at. When you absolutely know that you are better together than apart, then you know you need a Customized Wedding Ceremony, unique and reﬂective of you. Make your ceremony joyful, heart-felt and a true Celebration. If the sacred act of committing yourselves to each other is as meaningful as the joyful party afterwards, call me for a Complimentary Consultation.

ASK A WEDDING EXPERT

Q A

What’s a Customized Wedding Ceremony?

As opposed to adding your names to a pre-written ceremony, I custom write a ceremony, about you and for you, right from beginning REV. DR. JAYNE GIBSON to end. You will complete some simple questions. I will write your full ceremony including your Love Story AND a Ceremonywithin-a-Ceremony. Here’s a brief example of what to expect: “She felt she wasn’t really the marrying type, but, she just couldn’t get him out of her daydreams and found herself smiling at the thought of him. She played a little bit hard to get for a time but, with his consistent presence and his gentle persuasion, she came to believe something different about herself. So on that extraordinary day, when he got down on one knee; without hesitation, she said YES”. For more information call or visit my website.

Q A

How is a Montessori education better?

Montessori education is based upon a child’s individual learning styles, likes, needs and abilities. Montessori teachers believe PATRICIA LOMELLI that children do not all learn at the same time or in the same way. To meet the children’s needs and curriculum, Montessori teachers observe each child in detail in their classroom. Observations such as what are the child’s interests, how is she/he interacting, is the child a talker or an observer? Do colors make things clearer? Does singing a song help? Montessori educators teach concepts using the child’s natural abilities and interests. Children are given “choices” to work with letters or numbers using materials they prefer to work with to complete a specific lesson. Research shows Montessori children are more interested in learning, more independent, more self-disciplined and have a better understanding of abstract thinking*. *Research by Dr. Angeline Lillard, Psychology Professor - University of Virginia.

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)?

SAD is a type of major depressive disorder, and sufferers may exhibit any of the associated symptoms, such as feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, thoughts of suicide, loss of interest in activities, withdrawal from social interaction, sleep and appetite problems, difficulty WENDY J SCOTT RN, BScN, MA with concentration and decisions, decreased sex drive, a lack of energy, or agitation. Symptoms of winter SAD often include oversleeping or difficulty waking up in the morning, nausea, and a tendency to over eat, often with a craving for carbohydrates, which leads to weight gain. SAD is typically associated with winter depression, but springtime lethargy or other seasonal mood patterns are not uncommon. Although each individual case is different, in contrast to winter SAD, people who experience spring and summer depression may be more likely to show symptoms such as insomnia, decreased appetite and weight loss, and agitation or anxiety.

Community DOUGLAS COLLEGE

New director named for foundation, alumni Douglas College officials are excited about more students getting access to financial awards and bursaries with a new executive director at the helm of its foundation and alumni relations. Leanne Poon stepped into the post effective Jan. 30 after 29 years at UBC. Most recently, Poon was the associate director of student awards and development in UBC’s office of development and alumni engagement, managing

a team of five whose annual fundraising goal was $6 million. She was also involved in a number of other major fundraising initiatives at UBC, including the recent Start an Evolution alumni campaign, which has raised more than $1.64 billion over eight years. In her position at Douglas, Poon will continue to focus on building “strategic, meaningful and memorable relationships with key constituent groups,” according

to a college press release. “We are so fortunate and excited to have Leanne joining Douglas College,” associate vice-president of public affairs Dave Taylor stated in the press release. “Her experience with UBC will be invaluable in helping us grow the foundation, giving even more students access to the financial awards and bursaries that will help them meet their educational goals.”

Community Big plans for Canada Day The City of New Westminster is aiming to go big for this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Queen’s Park. Biliana Velkova, the city’s arts coordinator, said the city is working with a variety of community organizations on plans for this year’s event and wants to expand the calibre of performances at the annual event in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. “We would like to expand throughout the park, have more signature programs, roving entertainment,” she said. Coun. Bill Harper said he’d like to see events go beyond the park so there’s “a grand celebration” of Cana-

da’s birthday. He said a variety of organizations joined the city in celebrating the City of New Westminster’s 150th birthday throughout 2009, including sports organizations. “Canada Day is the birthday – but a 150th birthday should be celebrated for the year,” he said. “You don’t need to put a lot of money (in) doing that. It should be woven into a lot of things. Some of the street festivals can have that as part of their theme.” Coun. Mary Trentadue, chair of the Canada Day subcommittee, said the city is also going to connect with organizers of the Canada Day fireworks and a multicultural festival that will take

place at Westminster Pier Park that day. She said the subcommittee’s role is to plan the city’s July 1 event in Queen’s Park. “We have been talking with a number of different organizations in the city. The idea was to take over Queen’s Park, virtually expand much further than we have historically,” she said. “We have been speaking with the farmers’ market, the New Westminster Arts Council artisans’ market, really trying to bring all kinds of things that make New Westminster fantastic into Queen’s Park for the day, really expanding what we have done.” – Theresa McManus

SNAPPED

Winter Above, Scott Larsen shot this beautiful New Year’s Day sunset from his Quayside neighbourhood, capturing the snowfall and pink sunset reflecting on the Fraser River across from Poplar Island. Lovely photo, Scott! At left, in case you weren’t sure how much snow has actually fallen, here’s proof: Leah Yallop snapped this photo of Ella and George in their igloo in the Glenbrook North neighbourhood on Feb 4. “Best day ever!!” they said.

Add some Vancouver noir to your reading list Natalie Rocheleau

With the success of the Vancouver film industry, most Vancouverites think of their city as a stand-in for almost any setting – but most never think of the Lower Mainland as the star setting in its own right. The burgeoning genre of Vancouver noir proves that the Lower Mainland, with its varied landscape and grey, rainy days, can serve as a perfect backdrop for a good mystery. Invisible Dead by Sam Wiebe,Vancouver Public Library’s 2016 Writer in Residence, is the first book in a new series rooted in the back alleys of contemporary Vancouver. Unconventional P.I. David Wakeland untangles the mystery of a disappearance from 11 years prior and runs afoul of a biker gang in the process.This

fast-paced thriller is timeless and fresh, like classic noir for the 21st century. E.R. Brown’s 2014 Edgar Award finalist Almost Criminal is a Breaking Bad-esque thriller about a B.C. growop.Wealthy and charming Randle Kennedy grows

Community OUR PAST

A heritage celebration Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Once again it’s February, with its special theme for Heritage Day and Heritage Week.This year, in keeping with Canada’s 150th anniversary, the theme for British Columbia is My Canada! My B.C.! The Heritage Society of B.C., in presenting the 2017 theme, notes that they hope “all British Columbians will celebrate our place and contribution to Canada.” We know from talking to people throughout the year that there is a great interest in seeking out and discovering more about our heritage, in learning and understanding more about our history, and in seeing how it is all connected. Looking back to the times when Canada and Confederation were proclaimed in 1867, it is interesting to see how New Westminster watched the process play out far away across the con-

tinent. Local newspapers of the day reported on the events via telegraph communications. Newspapers and periodicals from the eastern part of the continent were eagerly awaited as they arrived via deep sea ships.Travellers from back east were also eagerly sought out for their comments and observations. Imagine heading down to the newspaper office on Columbia Street to see what news had come in. Imagine hurrying down to the wharf when a steamboat arrived from Victoria to meet a friend coming home from a meeting in Quebec or Ontario. And further imagine the excitement as the mail arrived after its long journey from San Francisco. In one such article headed “British Columbia and Confederation,” the local reader was directed to another piece included in the newspaper issue in hand: “On our first page this

morning will be found a very good article upon this subject, taken from the Pall Mall Gazette.” Still another article a week later commented: “The Canadian press is for the most part occupied just now with election matters, and a very warm canvass appears to be going on, especially in the province of Ontario, formerly Canada West.” The New Westminster Historical Society this month, for Heritage Week, will look at the local press of 1867 and its coverage of Confederation as reported in this city. Also included will be some of the day-to-day local news stories, mixed with the ongoing political commentary of the day. It was an interesting time, to say the least. The Wednesday, Feb. 15 presentation will start at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library.

‘Bellies move into draft’s catbird seat Hyacks

clinch LM spots

NewWest deals back into second round with eye on scooping up strong stick

Senior girls, boys clear first hurdle in battle for berth to provincials

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Less than a week away from the Western Lacrosse Association junior draft, the New Westminster Salmonbellies are playing a waitand-see game on how to use their first selection. Having acquired the 10th pick in the 2017 junior draft, ‘Bellies general manager Dan Richardson said the organization is going in with a wait-and-see attitude. It’s probably how other teams feel when watching New West fandangle a number of deals this offseason. “We’re pretty much at the mercy of everyone who picks ahead of us,” said Richardson of the team’s draft preparation. “The key for us is just being ready because you just don’t know how it will unfold.” In a draft that some view as lacking a foundation-type player, Richardson said having a pick in the first two rounds wasn’t a desperation move, but one where a player – talented righthander Dane Sorensen – was likely bumped down the depth chart after a couple of key additions. “We acquired two righthanders and that put us in a situation,” said Richardson. “I wish we could have kept (Sorensen) but in fairness to Dane, he needs to play and we likely couldn’t give him the same opportunity (as last year).” As a rookie, Sorensen tallied 20 goals in 18 games and drew 13 assists to finish sixth in team scoring. By bringing in Joel McCready and Nathan Stewart, the rightside had become crowded.The possible return of Keegan Bal also weighed into the situation. While the draft features its share

Nose for the net: New Westminster junior sniper Adam Dickson, who led all shooters with 53 goals last season, is one of the top players eligible for next week’s Western Lacrosse Association junior draft. He is expected to be among the top-two selections. The New West senior Salmonbellies currently hold the 10th pick overall. PHOTO NOW FILE

of big-name prospects, like Coquitlam’s Tyler Pace, Delta’s Evan Messenger and New Westminster’s Adam Dickson, the senior ‘Bellies will be fortunate if one of the second tier talents slide their way. Among that group are New West’s Johnny Pearson, Burnaby’s Aidan Milburn and a pair from Delta – Chase Fraser and Jon Phillips. Still, picking 10th makes any of those names a long shot. “We’ll be looking for a breakthrough player, because I think our trades addressed what we targeted as specific needs,” he said. Dickson, who led all B.C. junior players with 53 goals, Pace, who counted 20 goals in just eight games for the Minto Cup champion Adanacs, and Messenger,

whose 96 points put him third in overall scoring, are considered to be top-three candidates.

This is where the homework all pays off. You’ve got to check all the boxes...

Adding to the draft’s suspense is the hoarding of picks by Langley and Nanaimo. Langley holds four of the first eight selections, including No. 1, 5 and 6, while Nanaimo chooses second and third. Burnaby, at No.

4, and Victoria, with the seventh pick, round out the first round. That positions New West, at 10th overall, in a possible catbird seat, waiting to see what players fall in the order due to other clubs’ needs and biases. “This is where the homework all pays off,” said Richardson. “You’ve got to check all the boxes and talk with the players to find out where they are at, what they are thinking.” Having overseen and produced the club’s draft book for this year’s event, Richardson said while they have few picks it still remains a big priority for the program. “Getting everything ready for the draft is a labour of love,” he added.

Medrano cashes in for gold at Jerome meet

New Westminster athletes displayed midseason form in the inaugural indoor track meet of the year, picking up medals at the Harry Jerome Indoor Games in Richmond. Leading the way was the New West Spartans’ Diego Medrano, who finished first in the men’s 16-17 year 60-metre hurdles race. Medrano, who attends Burnaby South Secondary, finished the race in 8.82 seconds, nearly a full second ahead of his nearest challenger. Collecting the silver in women’s 16-to-17 year old shotput was Jenevieve Patry-Smith. The Royal City Track and Field Club athlete tossed the four-kilogram shotput 12.02m. A fourth-year UBC student-athlete, Manisha Kandola placed third in the 18-to-60 women’s high jump.The New Westminster Secondary alumna cleared 1.60m, just behind fellow UBC athlete Olivia Campbell. Finishing fifth overall in the women’s 18-to-34 600m dash was the

Royal City’s Emily Chilton. She crossed the finish line in 1:45.90, just 2.50 seconds out of a silver medal. Posting the ninth-best time in the men’s 1617 age group’s 600m dash wasYousef Mian, of the New West Spartans. The Burnaby Striders launched the indoor track and field season with some wind in their sails.The program saw newcomer Nick Hsu set the tone, winning a pair of gold medals at the indoor competition. Hsu won the 13-year-old boys 60-metre race in a time of 8.20 seconds, and followed that by topping the 600m dash in 1:48.37, finishing six seconds ahead of his nearest rival. Also earning the top spot on the podium was the Striders’ Jaeland Cummings, who collected gold in the 13-year-old girls’ 60m dash with a finish time of 8.61 seconds. Fifteen-year-old Rachael Chiang picked up a

pair of silver medals in the girls midget division, finishing second in the 300- and 600m races. Chiang finished the first race in 47.34 seconds, just 0.78 seconds behind Vancouver’s Logan Fung. In the 600m event, Chiang crossed the line in 1:53.23, just two seconds shy of Kajaks’ Claire Bosma. Katelyn Malmquist was handed an honorary gold in the midget girls 300m, due to timekeeping issues. In her first indoor track meet, Burnaby’s Annika Steele scored silver in the 13-year-old girls 600m, in a time of 1:57.66. Simon Fraser University freshman Diana Voloshin, meanwhile, shared first place in the women’s 18-to-60 division’s 60m hurdles, completing the event in 9.13 seconds. She also finished second in the 60m dash, with a time of 7.86 seconds – just 0.06 seconds back of Vancouver’s Jonelle Bell-Spence.

One is shooting for a league title, the other for ranking.The most important thing, however, is both the New Westminster Hyacks senior girls and boys basketball teams are going on to the Lower Mainlands. The senior girls, who have not lost a league game this year, advanced to the Burnaby-New West playoff final by blasting Moscrop 72-53 on Tuesday. Powered by Sarah Forgie’s 24 points – nearly all in the first half – New West built up a steep lead only to see Moscrop out-point them in the second half. “It wasn’t a great game and you want to keep playing your best no matter who you’re playing,” Hyacks head coach Doug Woodward said. “Moscrop’s best player scored 22 points, and that’s too many. No one was stopping her.” Contributing 12 points was Devin Strome, while New West got nine points and eight points, respectively, from Milanna Obrovac and Jaime Lee. The final is slated for tonight, 5:45 p.m. at NWSS.The Hyacks will play the winner of Wednesday’s other semifinal (past the Record’s deadline) of Burnaby Central and Burnaby Mountain. For the senior boys, while a berth is guaranteed the route could have been easier, after falling 64-53 Tuesday to the Burnaby South Rebels in the semifinal. Having hung in with the No. 9-ranked Rebels and actually taking the lead on the last shot of the third quarter, New West was unable to maintain the pace in the final frame. Burnaby South surged ahead by out-scoring the Hyacks 20-10 over the final 10 minutes. “Honestly, it’s really disappointing – we should have won, we could have won, but my guys seem to have a difficult time playing a full 40 minutes,” remarked New West coach Arno Richter. Having erased a 12-point deficit with a strong third quarter push, the Hyacks struggled to match the Rebels’ intensity down the stretch. Coming off the bench to score a team-high 14 points was Grade 12 post player Jacob Long-Aitchison, while Continued on page 40

It is with great sadness to share that Bob passed away peacefully at home on January 31, 2017. He was a loving husband, father and Papa. He was a hard worker, who had a passion for soccer.
