Group wants more homes to get ‘advanced’ protections By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Heritage advocates are encouraging the city to expand the number of houses that will be given top billing in a proposed heritage conservation area. The City of New Westminster is working to establish a conservation area for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, which proposes different levels of heritage protection for all single-family houses in the neighbourhood.The draft plan suggests advanced protection would be placed on homes built up until 1929, with homes from 1930 to 1949 having standard protection and houses built after 1950 having limited protection. “Once approved, we will be the largest conservation area in Western Canada.We will be a destination for many to come and see, and

‘Pirate’ tries to sail away with Paddlewheeler Attempted theft of tour boat involved flares and throwing a tequila bottle in an attempt to evade police By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
A man from Williams Lake was arrested last Thursday after he attempted to steal a 100-passenger
replica paddlewheeler boat based in New Westminster. The large vessel, built in 1988, is a replica of boats that travelled up and down the river between 1863 and 1921.
“It was kind of spectacular,” said Mark MacKenzie, an engineer and captain with Paddlewheeler River Boat Tours, of the incident. The boat was moored in Queensborough, across
from Fraser River Pile and Dredge, after a rogue log broke off a boom last weekend knocking the paddlewheeler’s dock off its piles. On March 2, while the M.V. Native was tied up, some-
one swam out to the boat armed with a steel scaffold brace and forced his way onto the ship, according to MacKenzie. “He smashed the starboard wheelhouse window
to get into the door there and basically made himself a nest up in the wheelhouse,” MacKenzie told the Record. Around 2 p.m., a crew Continued on page 8

Up Front A CLOSER LOOK
The pastor and the protesters By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca
A local demonstration for trans rights was very “New Westminster-ish,” according to one city councillor who was there. About 30 people, many of them trans men and women, gathered across the street from New West Community Church Sunday morning to protest a campaign by pastor Paul Dirks against Bill C-16 – proposed legislation that would add gender expression and gender identity to the list of prohibited grounds for dis-
crimination in Canada. “I thought it was very New Westminster-ish, as opposed to say what that might have looked like in Vancouver,” Coun. Jaimie McEvoy told the Record. “The whole gathering and the dialogue, I would say, was more community-like than what you might see in a bigger city. …There were no angry people there. I mean, people were angry in a moral, righteous way, but people weren’t shouting.” McEvoy, who has a trans cousin, came to the protest Continued on page 5

ARE YOU PREPARED?
As of February 20, 2017 British Columbia had 12 earthquakes in 7 days. Recent earthquakes have been recorded along the BC Coastline – west of Port Alice and west of Port Hardy. There have also been smaller recorded earthquakes south of Princeton. Earthquakes are common in BC, with more than 2,500 recorded each year in and around the province. Most are too small to be felt, but an earthquake capable of causing structural damage is expected to occur somewhere in the province once every decade. There is a real risk that one of these could be “the big one.” Preparation is key to survival in the event of an earthquake. Ensure your emergency kit is stocked up and remember to change out your food and water on an annual basis.

EXCITING NEWS! Dr. Ann Lu
Game over for arcade?
By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
It may be game over for a retro arcade trying to set up shop in New West. For the past year, Surrey resident Brad Eyers has been in talks with the city about updating its bylaws to allow a retro gaming arcade in the downtown.The city restricted amusement arcades in the New West in 1998 because of complaints about noise, hours of operation and disrespectful or unlawful behaviour. “My concern all along is I want the right vibe for a location. For me, New Westminster is where it was,” he said. “Personally I have always loved New Westminster and I would love to be part of helping New West-
minster to rejuvenate.We will get a lot of people in the downtown area.” Eyers believes an arcade featuring retro games from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s would be a destination for 35- to 50-year-olds as there’s nothing like it in Metro Vancouver. After Eyers’ approached city hall about opening a retro-style amusement arcade downtown, staff proposed changes to the regulations for amusement arcades in the city through amendments to the city’s zoning, business license and development services fees and rates bylaws.To manage possible concerns, staff recommended restrictions such as not allowing liquor to be served or allowing games that depict any graphic or
FAMILY AND COSMETIC DENTISTRY
realistic depictions of physical violence. But there were concerns the restrictions were too strict, so the city is taking another look at the proposal. John Stark, the city’s acting director of planning, said NewWestminster is one of the first municipalities that is looking at bringing in less restrictive zoning for arcades and wants to “get it right” from the outset. Given the workload of city staff and council priorities, Stark said it’s unlikely a report will be considered by council until September. But that may be too little too late for Eyers. “I have already started looking elsewhere – I have to. I have to have an income,” said Eyers.

Pastor and protesters talk Continued from page 3 to show support for the community. “I went because I support Bill C-16 and trans rights,” he said. “I also went because the church happens to be named ‘New West,’ and I thought it was important to show that the city is open and welcoming. I didn’t want to leave an impression that this reflects the community at large in any way.” Dirks, who said he opposes the bill mostly because he believes it would make women’s safe spaces like bathrooms, showers and safe houses unsafe, crossed the street to engage the protesters. About seven took him up on the offer, he said, while others chose simply to register their opposition. “I felt it was good,” Dirks said. “That’s maybe a fun-
ny word to use, but it was peaceful and there are avenues for further dialogue. I’m hoping that it’s a good thing for our community and for discussion about some of these very difficult, challenging topics.” He and the protesters even found some common ground, he said, when it came to employment protections and personal safety for trans people, as well as provisions in the Criminal Code that would make targeting people because of their gender identity and gender expression an aggravating factor in crimes. Did the demonstrators move him from his position on Bill C-16? “I think ‘clarified it’ would be a better way of saying it,” he said. McEvoy also saw the demonstration as a positive
Advantage
thing. “One of the reasons I feel good about it is that trans people got to speak to media about this issue,” he said. “I’ve seen lots of news clips talking about Bill C-16 where there was no trans person talking.” And, whether or not the protesters changed the local pastor’s mind, McEvoy said it was important for him to come face to face with the community. “I think he’s a guy who’s exploring,” McEvoy said. “He’s new to this issue. He hadn’t been faced with having to talk to and learn from people who are affected by this issue, and, in my view, although the actions are hateful, I found him to come across as a guy who is fairly naïve and uninformed.”

Opinion OUR VIEW
Average citizen can’t afford ‘pay to play’ The B.C. Liberals should stick to their guns and oppose any efforts to change the rules around political donations. Somebody has to pay for these hugely expensive election campaigns and it may as well be wealthy corporations and unions because average taxpayers sure can’t afford to pay to play. If it wasn’t for companies such as 0744625 B.C. Ltd., which donated $30,000 to the governing B.C. Liberals
last year, the cost of campaigning would have to be scaled back big-time. Politics in B.C. would come to a standstill without lobbyists and special interest groups lining up to pay $5,000 to $10,000 apiece to rub shoulders with the premier or premier-in-waiting at a fancy dinner party. Sure, it may be a bit of a shakedown by the political parties but that’s how things have always been done. So why should they
change? Imagine if political parties had to rely on $200 donations from real people instead of nameless corporations.Would we even have the kind of bare-knuckle battle that B.C. is known for? So what if these big spenders wield too much influence – consider it the cost of doing business in B.C. (they do). There are groups such as Integrity B.C. that are try-
ing to make B.C. politics more fair and open. But really, they are fighting a losing battle. No political party with an eye on winning the next election is going to give up this cash cow, and while the B.C. Liberals might be better at the shakedown than the NDP, the Opposition party still gets it share of big spenders. Still, without pay to play and individuals shelling out huge sums on behalf of their
unnamed bosses to participate in the political campaign, there would be no one to ante up for those expensive, and often wrong, poll results, the back-room operatives, the negative advertising and annoying social media blitzes. What’s more, the political donations are all online, so you can see who is paying what, with the B.C. Liberals leading the way with their not really real-time posting. For example, 0926141 B.C.
Ltd. gave $10,000 three times last year. So that’s helpful, right? And what good is it all, anyway? Only 52 per cent of voters even bothered to vote in the 2013 provincial election, so you might as well have government run by special interest groups, such as developers and unions, because nearly half of potential voters are apparently not interested. – Guest editorial from the Tri-City News
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
ICBC is finally fighting back ICBC is fighting back. The public auto insurance corporation is refuting its critics who portray it as being in a fiscal crisis, and it insists that while these are challenging times in the industry, the situation is far from bleak. “Clearly, we are under financial pressure on the basic (coverage) side of the business due to the increasing number of crashes and resulting claims, but what that means is being greatly exaggerated,” ICBC vicepresident Steve Crombie told me. He took issue with a number of claims made in last week’s column by NDP ICBC critic Adrian Dix, and in a spate of other news stories in other media outlets. For some reason, ICBC has stayed silent while the controversy mounted over its financial health, but those days are clearly over. Crombie insists the corporation remains on a sound fiscal footing and points to its claim reserve fund of $10.6 billion, its investment portfolio of $4.2 billion and an operating capital of $2.6 billion for this year as proof of that. He admits the insurer has a vexing problem that recently has seen more money going out the door to settle accident claims than is coming in through insurance premiums, but he says that problem is being studied with the aim being to reverse that trend. “We’re a long, long, long way from being broke or anything like that,” he said.
“What we have essentially is a cash flow problem, and we’re confident we’re going to resolve that.” A big reason for that cash flow problem is the alarming increase in the number of vehicle accidents in recent years – a jump of 20,000 last year alone, and an increase of 60,000 in the past three years. Crashes that result in soft tissue damage have become more expensive, as has the cost of repairing modern vehicles, he says. But he notes the corporation still turns a profit on the optional coverage side of its operations, but loses money on the basic coverage side. And he told me the scenario of a 42 per cent rate increase over the next few years did not come from ICBC but from a scenario thrust upon it by the B.C. Utilities Commission. He insists rate increases will be held below five per cent, and an overall review of operations and rate structures may result in even lower annual increases. Crombie also rejects Dix’s claim that ICBC has laid off claims response staff over the years and says any personnel changes have been largely to do with management positions. In any event, it seems the beleaguered insurer – often the recipient of criticism and frustration since it deals with settling accidents – has grown weary of being a political punching bag and is starting to fight back. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Letters That’s enough of Clark Pastor has it wrong Dear Editor: It is time to put an end to the deceit, half truths and shady politics of Christy Clark and her entourage. Under the neoliberal corporate agenda, they have taken away the right of many to a decent life, to have a family and home, with hope for a future, for a quality of life and a sustainable society in tune with nature. Enough of the premier’s hollow oratory about tax cuts, about giving us back our own money as a reward. About going into debt to build an unnecessary $9 billion dam to create greater power for her corporate owners at the expense of the people at large. Enough of the schmoozing in a hard hat with the perpetual grin that exposes a self-satisfying, deceitful jargon while 800,000 British Columbians, of which 170,000 are children, are living in the worst poverty in Canada. Enough of being found guilty by the Supreme Court of Canada of violating the rule of law they are sworn to uphold by trashing the negotiated contracts with the public sector unions. Enough of the small government with socalled low taxes that advantage the rich and their corporations at the expense of the working population. The list of public failures and government complicity in corporate greed is endless. In this beautiful and richly endowed country, no one should be left behind. Enough! Bill Zander, New Westminster
FEEL MORE ENERGIZED AND BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
Dear Editor: Although I am not transgendered, I am a woman. I use the very same washrooms that New West Community Church pastor Paul Dirks is so concerned about. Let’s get real. The alleged issue that he is concerned about where transgendered men who self-identify as women cause problems in women’s washroom is a non-issue. He is a cis-gendered man speaking for two populations: women and transgendered people, that have not been asked about their experiences with one another in the context of washroom etiquette. I can tell you that during the course of my life I have never had a negative experience with a transgendered person using a washroom with me. The issue here should be focused on why a cis-gendered, white man, who is supposed to represent care for his community, is so up in arms over the clothing that someone chooses to wear, or how someone views their own sexuality. The idea that men would dress as women to victimize someone in a washroom is not in line with the statistics around such attacks, there are zero cases. ZERO.

IV Vitamin & Mineral Therapy Vitamin and Mineral Injections stimulate the body’s healing systems through proper nutrition at the cellular level so the body can achieve a higher blood concentration of nutrients beyond what is possible through nutrients absorbed from the digestive system. Intravenous nutrients that are injected directly into the bloodstream, bypass the liver and digestive organs and are available directly through the circulation system to the body’s tissues and cells. IV Therapy is an excellent way to deliver large amount of nutrients comfortably and safely into the body.

‘Heady times’ for heritage changes Continued from page 1 an example for others to follow,” said Maureen Arvanitidis, president of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society. “It’s heady times, but we can work it out and we can do it, but we need to do it right.” Under the current proposal, advanced protection would require a heritage alteration permit for major construction activities on the front and sides of
the house, subdivisions and demolitions. Standard protection would require a heritage alteration permit for demolitions and subdivisions, while limited protection would require a heritage alteration permit for subdivisions only. Arvanitidis said advanced protection must be extended to include homes built up to 1940, but would ideally include 1941 to 1959 homes in order to protect the mid-century modern
houses.While there’s not a lot of mid-century modern houses in the neighbourhood, she said some of them are “very significant” homes. “As you can see from these photographic examples, the homes from the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s have significant heritage value. They should fall into the advanced category,” Arvanitidis said as photos of homes flashed on a screen in council chamber. “Many
of them are in very original condition and have historical importance.” Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said the draft policy, which includes the three-tiered approach to conservation, is going out for community consultation. Feedback will be used to make revisions to a policy that will be considered by city council this spring.
Would-be thief can’t get ship moving Continued from page 1 with Fraser River Pile and Dredge was out checking one of their barges when workers spotted the man in the wheelhouse.They called back to their office on the shore to find out if anyone was supposed to be there. The office staff said, ‘No,’ so they sent over a crew to investigate, MacKenzie said. “And this guy apparently started throwing flares at them and then threw a
bottle of tequila at them. So they immediately called New Westminster police,” he said. The police department’s marine unit was dispatched, while the suspect tried to start the engines. Fortunately he wasn’t able to activate the control system to take off, MacKenzie said. “If he was a little smarter he could have done some serious damage,” MacKenzie added.
The suspect, 39-year-old Brendan Roger Fediuk, was arrested at the scene. He is charged with one count of break and enter of a vessel; carrying or possessing a marine flare for a dangerous purpose; and attempted theft of a motor vessel, according to a press release. MacKenzie figures Fediuk was planning on staying on the vessel for some time. Police even found the man’s wet clothes hanging
below deck to dry, MacKenzie said.This isn’t the first time the ship has been broken into, but it is the first time someone has tried to commandeer it, MacKenzie said. The M.V. Native is expected to be up and running sometime this week. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the police department at 604-525-5411.

City Ewen: ‘...we’re still the ones who carry the can’ Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
A longtime New Westminster school trustee believes current trustees are abrogating their responsibilties. For the past three or four years, trustee Michael Ewen said he’s noticed a change in the dynamic between the school board and district staff that has seen trustees take less of an interest in the management of the district, ultimately passing off responsibility to staff.
His comments stem from the Feb. 28 board of education meeting, where trustees were asked to approve the district’s 2016/17 amended budget immediately.While they’d received the document somewhat in advance, they had to approve the report that night so it could be submitted to the Ministry of Education before the midnight deadline. This left trustees with two-and-a-half-hours to discuss the document, Ewen remarked during the meeting.
Ewen, who’s been a New Westminster school trustee since 1979, said items like amended budgets used to be presented to the board at committees well in advance of the Ministry of Education deadline.This gave trustees time to go over the documents and ask questions of staff. “In the last three years, it hasn’t, in my mind, been satisfactory,” he said. Ewen wants both the school board and the public to have more time to examine reports and docu-
ments so they may than earlier iteraquestion decisions tions, Ewen said. made by staff – esBut the probpecially when it lem, as Ewen sees comes to amended it, doesn’t lie solely budgets. on the shoulders of The amended senior administrabudget is an uptors, he said.

City wants festivals to consider accessibility for everyone Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster wants all city festivals to follow the lead of New West Pride. As part of last year’s New West Pride Festival, the society sought to be more inclusive to people who have mobility issues, are deaf or hard of hearing, are blind or have limited vision, are
gender non-conforming or lack financial resources. In December 2016, the society urged city council to include accessibility information in their promotions and to plan for inclusion at all festivals, and offered to make its 52-point accessibility audit checklists available to the city, and businesses and groups planning events at local venues.
On Monday, council approved a recommendation that the city encourage all public events to include accessibility information in their promotion and to plan for inclusion. “This came from work that the New West Pride Society did to provide audits and measure the accessibility of all the sites that they had their events at last
year, including a street fest,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone, chair of the city’s access advisory committee. “This came to access advisory committee and they recommended that we basically encourage all festivals in the city to adopt a similar standard of reporting information about how they are going to make their event sites accessible.”
Johnstone said he’d like to go a step further and develop a city policy that includes accessibility as part of the criteria for evaluating festivals and their grant applications in the city. Council referred the matter to the city’s festivals committee. Some of the accessibility features that New West Pride incorporated into last year’s street party includ-
ed having American Sign Language on both stages, two accessible bathrooms, wheelchair and priority seating by the main stage, a shade tent, gender-neutral bathroom signage for private venues and a detailed map identifying accessibility features.The cost of the accessibility features was $1,800, or 5.2 per cent of the festival’s budget.

tual design and cost estimate for linking the two parks.The city will allocate $50,000 toward the study, with TransLink also providing $50,000. TransLink is supportive of cycling opportunities as-
sociated with the Brunette Fraser Regional Greenway, a staff report states. Partnering with TransLink will allow planning to be integrated properly with the new Pattullo Bridge plans, a city report notes.

People A THING OF BEAUTY
She’s passionate about the Pattullo Bridge NewWest poet is inspired by the 80-year-old transportation link over the Fraser River By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
It’s a sight that prompts police officers to stop – a lone woman walking up and down the Pattullo Bridge. But it’s an experience Catherine Owen has owned for several years. The New Westminsterbased artist received a B.C. arts grant last year to write poems about the 80-year-old structure. Her goal is to write about the bridge from different perspectives to try and tell the story of the controversial icon. “I moved to New West in 2012 with a view of the Pattullo Bridge, and I started getting fascinated by the Fraser River and the bridge,” Owen told the Record. Her first poem was inspired by the history of the bridge. The resulting poem motivated her to apply for the grant and begin working on a collection of poetry about the bridge. Her intention is to tell the life story of the bridge – from congestion problems to suicides, she said. “There’s a lot of energy around the bridge,” she said. As part of her creative process, Owen makes time to walk the bridge regularly, a habit that’s caught the attention of passing motorists once or twice. “I’ve had several times
when I’ve been stopped, while I’ve been writing, by cops who were thinking I’m going to jump and they’d had calls,” she chuckled. The questions don’t bother her, Owen said. The bridge is a space that’s not meant for pedestrians, she said. “It is a kind of edgy, liminal space,” she said. “You might ride your bike, but if you’re a person walking it, there’s this kind of suspicion or anxiety.” Through her work, Owen has come to think
I love the colours, I love the lattice work feel to it ... VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE DECK:
New West artist Catherine Owen has been fascinated with the Pattullo Bridge since she moved to the city in 2012. Her view of the bridge inspired her to write poems about the 80-year-old structure, and recently she received a B.C. arts grant to continue her work. She hopes her poetry will be able to tell the story of the often contentious icon. At left, this photo was taken while the Pattullo was closed for repairs last summer. Owen took the opportunity to take some creative shots before crews asked her to get back on the sidewalk.
of the bridge as a person; one that at times seems like an infant and at others, an awkward teenager. For her, though, the most glaring thing about the Pattullo is its beauty. “I love the colours, I love the lattice work feel to it. I mean, it’s got the very old world kind of feel because everything is so light and airy now, and so it’s got a very heavy, durable, much more eternal feel to it,” she said.

Howay student earns 147th May Queen crown Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Zoe Bishop will reign as New Westminster’s 147th Queen of the May. The F.W. Howay Elementary School student, selected as May Queen in a draw in council chambers on Monday night, said she’s excited to serve as the city’s May Queen and is looking forward to attending the May Day tea and banquet and the Hyack International Parade.Trey Sidhu will represent the school as its royal knight. Joining F.W. Howay in the Royal Suite are: !Qayqayt Elementary School – first maid of honour Emma Vanderven and royal knight Nicolas Blaison. !Connaught Heights Elementary – second maid of honour Charlotte Johnson and royal knight Ryan De La Torre. !Richard McBride Elementary – medal bearer Jadyn Gibson and royal knight
Callum Whyte. !Lord Kelvin Elementary – register bearer Victoria Reina and royal knight Alex Drake. !Queensborough Middle School – first flower girl Kisa Gavac and royal knight Luke Murdoch. !Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary – second flower girl Christina Hodges and royal knight Peter Darwish. !Herbert Spencer Elementary – third flower girl Samantha Black and royal knight Roy Brenan. Ardyth Moorcroft, who MC’ed the draw in council chambers, said there was once a time when the mayor and men in the community selected a girl to serve as May Queen. “When the people started May Day and the idea of having a May Queen, the mayor said, ‘I’d like my daughter or my friend’s daughter,’” she said. “They went to that girl’s house. They sat down with her father and they said to him, ‘How would you like
your daughter to be May Queen?’” Over the years, new positions were added to the Royal Suite, and royal knights were later added. The selection process was later changed to have students vote for their representatives and positions in the Royal Suite decided through a random draw. “No matter what positon you are chosen for, the great thing is that you have already been chosen by your peers.That is a very special thing,” Moorcroft told students Monday night. “No matter what position you get chosen for you will have a wonderful, memorable May Day. It’s a big honour that you were chosen.” A number of changes are planned for May Day 2017, which takes place on Wednesday, May 24 in Queen’s Park Stadium. Students will be leading the ceremony, introducing speakers, dignitaries and maypole and folk dances, and giving speeches.

Saving the old corner store By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A former corner store in the Glenbrook North neighbourhood is getting a new lease on life. Raj Gill, who has built about 20 projects in New Westminster in the past decade, purchased the building at 720 Second St. just over a year ago. In addition to improving the existing building, he intends to build a 2,220-square foot (206.2-square-metre) Craftsman style bungalow with a basement suite on the new lot on the site. “We are going to be taking quite a dilapidated building and restoring it back to something that really is going to be something that is in keeping with the goals of the neighbourhood,” said designer Kirsten Sutton, noting some of the
building’s original heritage features will be restored. Built in 1912, the building in the Glenbrook North neighbourhood featured a grocery store at ground level and an apartment above. “At one point there was a carriage house, so there is precedent that a second dwelling was on that property,” Sutton said. “It was a long-running neighbourhood grocery store. It ran until 1993.” Dave Guiney, a planning analyst with the city, said the applicant’s hope is that the ground-level commercial space could provide a home for a larger daycare facility, not a family daycare centre, but other commercial uses such as a specialized office, coffee shop or personal service establishments such as a hair salon could be allowed.
Old and new: A new bungalow will be built next to a longtime grocery store that will be restored, part of a heritage revitalization agreement recently approved by city council.

It’s been a long, cold winter, but spring is just around the corner! It’s time to start making plans for spring break.The New Westminster Public Library has planned a number of fun activities for kids and teens for this year’s break. On March 14, 16, 21 and 23 the main branch will host a drop-in craft for three to eight year olds and their parents or caregivers. Come each day and create a different craft from 10:30 a.m. until noon. The Queensborough branch will also offer this program on March 15 and 22 from 10:30 a.m. until noon. If your kids are in the mood for a flick, stop by the Movie Matinee at the main branch on March 15 and 22 at 1:30 p.m. Kick back and feast on some popcorn while you enjoy a popular
family film. Teens with the itch to create should register for the mini-terrarium making workshop, taking place March 14 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the main branch. All of the materials will be provided and participants will get to keep their completed planters.

New Westminster’s Peter Jorgensen is curating the festival and has helped to create individual onehour cabaret performances in conjunction with a list of some of the region’s most talented performers. “‘Impromptu’ has two meanings: ‘done without being planned, organized or rehearsed’ and ‘a short piece of music, especially a solo, that is reminiscent of an improvisation,’” Jorgensen says in a press release. “It reflects both a musical idea as well as the spur-of-the-moment inspiration to make it happen.We want each performer to present an hour full of song that feels personal, intimate and a little off-thecuff.” Performers run the gamut of genres, including musical theatre, blues, folk, pop and rock.

WELCOME TO CANADA The folks at Arundel Mansion were pleased to welcome some special visitors for a short stay in the Royal City. A few weeks back, Myrna Ball received a call from an acquaintance in the West Kootenays, who was searching for accommodations for a Somalian family that was coming to Canada as refugees. En route to their new home in Silverton, the family spent their first night in Canada as guests of Arundel Mansion owners Myrna and Glynn Ball. Soon after their arrival
on Feb. 22, Mayor Jonathan Cote dropped by and brought greetings from the city – as well as a few small souvenirs. The following morning, the family flew to the Kootenays to begin their new life in Canada.

fighting homelessness.” The Urban Challenges Forums, hosted by Douglas College, SFU and the City of New Westminster, are open to the public and are free.This week’s forum takes place on Thursday, March 9 (today) from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave. If you miss today’s forum, the next one takes place on Thursday, March 30 and focuses on Fentanyl: Breaking the Cycle.

OUR PAST
No slow news days in 1867 Archie and Dale Miller editorial@newwestrecord.ca
In 1867, the newspapers, periodicals and other publications available in British Columbia reported with regularity on a number of particularly important topics.The actions of the U.S. and the acquisition of Alaska were frequently noted, and the aggressive activities of the Fenians in the east drew much attention. Of great interest locally would have been the ongoing debate about the union of the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, and the placement of the capital at New Westminster rather than Victoria. Another ongoing discussion, which fuelled many passionate arguments, was the idea of accession of the area that was B.C. by the United States. And not to be forgotten or overlooked were the constant reports and news releases dealing with the
efforts towards confederation. If you were of a mind to stay on top of these stories in New Westminster at that time, there was a tremendous amount to keep up with. So who were the people reading the news, watching the progress of the stories, sharing the bits and pieces as they appeared in the accounts or from word of mouth, and perhaps getting involved in heated arguments on these local themes? They were folks from all walks of life and a multitude of ethnic, racial, national, religious, political, and cultural leanings and connections. We often forget or ignore that the people of the early Royal City were from all over the world.They had come for the gold rush or for land.They had come to open their trade in a new place or to start in a new job. Regarding law and order, they would have noted the report: “Judge Beg-
bie and suite will start for the interior this morning to hold court at the various stations, commencing withYale…” Regarding agriculture and livestock, they might have been pleased with the arrival: “…of six of the finest samples of the bovine species ever brought into the country.” Regarding local town amenities, they would certainly have been pleased: “…the regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the New Westminster Public Library and Reading Room was held.”There was always much to be found in the local news. Another item that could be found in some publications was a political or editorial cartoon. At the upcoming New Westminster Historical Society evening on Wednesday, March 15, guest speaker Charles Hou will talk about political cartoons. It’s at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library, uptown.

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!

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.

How do you find a quality daycare centre?
Finding quality childcare can be challenging. Many parents wonder about the many choices available. One thing we have to remember PATRICIA LOMELLI is that the first 6 years of a child are crucial for their development. Don’t be lured by facilities promoting the latest toys, look for material that will motivate your child’s learning abilities. Also, look for group size, classroom space and the level of training and education of caregiver. Other things to consider: a) Ask questions to other parents about the centre b) What are the policies on sickness, discipline and nutrition c) Is the facility licensed? d) Is the staff licensed and qualified? e) Clean and safety facility, natural light and outdoor space. Bottom line, a centre with manageable size, caring staff and stimulating program will probably make your child thrive.

What does MRSA stand for?
MRSA stands for methicillinresistant staphylococcus aureus and is an infection caused by a strain of bacteria that is resistant to the antibiotics commonly used to treat ordinary staph infections. MRSA infections typically occur in patients who have been in a hospital or other health care settings.
MRSA infections start as small, red bumps that can quickly progress into deep, painful abscesses that require surgical draining. In some cases, a MRSA infection remains on the skin; however, it can spread into the body. Once a MRSA infection has spread, it can cause infections in the bones, joints, surgical wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves and lungs. Antibiotics have always been used to control staph, but some strains, such as MRSA, have become resistant to antibiotics, including penicillin, methicillin, oxacillin and amoxicillin.

HERITAGE TALKS
WHAT’S HAPPENING? The City of New Westminster is seeking input into a draft policy of a heritage conservation area for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. The consultation process is taking place after more than three years of study and five rounds of heritage consultation and aiming to be complete by June. WHAT’S BEING PROPOSED? The conservation area policy would include mandatory design guidelines for new houses. It would also include up to three different levels of heritage protection for the 702 single-family houses in the neighbourhood. To date, most feedback suggests the oldest homes in the neighbourhood (pre-1900 to 1929) would have the highest level of heritage protection. WHAT IS A CONSERVATION AREA? The Local Government Act allows cities to identify a distinct neighbourhood
that’s characterized by its historic value for heritage purposes. A staff report notes a conservation area is considered a tool that a city could use to protect the “feel” of the entire neighbourhood and its streetscape. A heritage conservation area would give the city the authority to deny a permit if work isn’t deemed to be consistent with the policy. DOES THIS MEAN RESIDENTS CAN NEVER ALTER OR DEMOLISH THEIR

More than 30 future business leaders packed into École Glenbrook Elementary School’s gym last month for its first-ever entrepreneurial fair. Hosted by the school’s parent advisory council (PAC), the purpose of the fair was to encourage students to show off their commerce skills. Students had to decide what to sell, develop a business plan and then implement it. Some of the items for sale included handmade lotions, planters, snacks and slime. (Slime was one of the most popular items for sale, trustee Mary Lalji told her colleagues at the February board of education meeting last week.) The kids were allowed to keep 90 per cent of the profits, while the other 10 per cent had to be donated to a charity of their choice. “It was a great time,” said PAC co-chair Ronda Field.

It all began with Eve in the Garden of Eden Douglas College production chronicles the evolution of sexuality inWestern civilization A night of theatre that chronicles the evolution of sexuality in Western civilization is onstage at Douglas College this month. The college’s departments of theatre and stagecraft are presenting Out of the Garden, which features selections from plays by Caryl Churchill and Don Nigro. Claire Fogal directs the production, drawing inspiration from the Jan. 21 Women’s March. “Western culture has a long and awful tradition of linking women with the body and of relegating both to the dungeon or the dung heap,” she said in a press release. “In an effort to honour both where we’ve been and where we’re going, we show Eve’s perspective on the Garden of Eden and on her ‘original sin’ of eat-

greater humanity.” Fogal is weaving together fragments of Nigro’s plays Genesis and Frankenstein, with Churchill’s Vinegar Tom and Cloud 9, as well as one of the storylines from Nigro’s play Anima Mundi.
“I loved the overlapping themes of creation and sexuality,” Fogal said. “I’ve always believed this project would be fantastic to produce on a larger scale.” The cast of theatre students includes New Westminster’s Dahlia-Raphael Kerr and Michael Jenkins, along with Piper MacLeod, Hilani Baybay, Kate Rytter, Allegra Wright, Madison Green, Peter Tran, Nicholas James and Douglas College alumna Nina Dosdall. Out of the Garden runs March 10 to 17 at Douglas College’s Studio Theatre at its New West campus, 700 Royal Ave. Tickets are $20 general, or $10 for students and seniors, and can be purchased through Brown Paper Tickets at outofthegarden.bpt. me.

Pattison, Sidhu put the pin in Hyacks’ win Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
The boys with the New Westminster Hyacks demonstrated why they are a formidable factor on the mats. Fresh off of winning the zone, New West’s male grapplers exited the B.C. High School Wrestling championships in Salmon Arm as repeat provincial champions on Saturday. Led by gold medal per-
formances from Connor Pattison and Sammy Sidhu, New West edged Tamanawis 56-55 in points for the boys title, with W.J. Mouat close behind at 52. A handful of medals can do that, when supported by strong runs from nearly everyone on the team. “It wasn’t as big a surprise as last year because we knew we had a good team and had a good chance,” remarked New West coach Gord Sturrock.
“But because other teams knew us it was tougher, too.” In both gold medal matches, 10th Avenue rival St.Thomas More provided the opposition. Pattison picked up the 90-kilogram title, beating STM’s Tyler Eckert 13-3. It was Pattison’s third match of the weekend, after opening with a bye. Both of his other wins were by 10-0 decisions. A year ago, he won the title in a close battle
but had a much easier time of it this go-round. For Sidhu, his final opponent, Sam Steele, was also an STM grappler and football player. By a 11-0 score, the Hyack picked up the gold, to go with last year’s silver in the 74kg division. En route to the final, the Grade 11 athlete recorded a pair of falls, in 20 and 33 seconds, respectively, before picking up a pair of 10-0 point wins. “(Pattison and Sidhu)
were really unchallenged in their finals, they were technically superior in both matches,” said Sturrock. Collecting silver in the 110kg division wasYanni Angelopoulos, who like Pattison and Sidhu, is a starter with the Hyack football team. Angelopoulos began the tourney with a pair of win-by-falls, then a 10-0 decision before edging Arjot Gill of Lord Tweedsmuir 3-1 to advance to the final. There he met last year’s
90kg silver medalist,Tanjot Khalon of Abbotsford Traditional, who took the title by a 16-5 decision. Considering how Pattison rallied to beat Khalon in last year’s final, there was a bit of drama on display with the medal on the line. “(Angelopoulos) had a real tough semifinal to get to the final, and that was a big win for him,” said Sturrock. “In the final he was down 8-0 (and) quickly Continued on page 35
Veterans power Royals past Blues in BC final
Beauchamp earns MVP award in leading Douglas College to first women’s basketball title in 23 years Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Depth has proven to be the ballast to lift the Douglas College Royals to some heady heights. It helped carry them over the top on Saturday, when the New West-based women’s basketball team powered past the Capilano University Blues 70-63 for the PacWest provincial title. The Royals rarely wavered in their pursuit during the six-team tournament in Squamish, riding the hot streaks and stretches of a deep lineup that counts a great deal on those who start the game on the bench.
Teams key on her and she’s become a better passer because of that attention.
It was the women’s program’s first provincial win since 1993. “I can’t say how proud I am of the team,” said head coach Steve Beauchamp. “We received contributions from everyone, and a big part was when players came off the bench we got scoring, defence, blocks – we got an extra boost.” Fourth-year vet Amber Beasley led all Douglas shooters with 17 points, while tourney MVP Rachel Beauchamp counted 15 points and 16 rebounds to go with four blocks. While the two teams were deadlocked after one quarter, the Royals edged ahead by four points at halftime, then put the pedal to the floor in the third quarter, out-scoring Cap 16-9 to grab an 11-point cushion heading into the final frame. While they held a slim edge in the battle on the boards, out-rebounding the Blues 51-48, Doug-
las scored 22 points off turnovers and got 16 points from the bench. Ellen Fallis counted 14 points, while New West native and fourthyear post Jettie McLaughlin came off the bench and contributed nine points and 11 rebounds. “Jettie’s been pretty consistent every time she steps on the floor, same with Garaline (Tom),” said coach Beauchamp. “When she comes in it changes everything up but it makes a real good mix.” In their three regular season encounters, Cap won the first two by margins of nine and six points. In their previous meeting a couple of weeks ago, Douglas turned the tables and handed the Blues a 5751 defeat.While it gave the Royals a confidence boost as they finished at 14-4, two games back of their North Van rival, Beauchamp was a little concerned it may have invoked a spark of motivation for Capilano. “I thought by beating them it could work as an incentive for them to get better, and they did,” he noted. “But I think we also got better.” While he wasn’t thrilled with the number of turnovers Douglas had in the final, the other side of the coin was that when Capilano turned over the ball the Royals capitalized. “Our focus was to minimize their three-point ball and while they got a lot of good looks, we forced them inside more than they liked, and we played a smart game defensively.” His daughter, a third-year player, continued to dominate the boards to end the two-game series with 31 points and 31 rebounds. “(Rachel) has got a pretty simple game: looking to score from inside, and win the battles on the glass,” said the coach. “Teams key on her and she’s become a better passer because of that attention.” In the semifinal, Douglas knocked off Vancouver Island 5643, spreading a two-point advantage after one quarter into 12 points in the third frame. Rachel Beauchamp tallied 16 points and

15 boards, while Fallis netted 10 points and six assists. Sarah Jorgenson, who joined Fallis on the provincial all-star team, contributed eight points and 10 rebounds, as did McLaughlin. Coach Beauchamp said Beasley and Fallis provided key leadership during each big game. “(Beasley) had two really strong games, and from a leadership perspective she took on the tough assignments and checked some of
the best offensive players in the province,” he said. “(Fallis) played a very complete game both offensively and defensively.” Both Rachel Beauchamp and Jorgenson entered the B.C. tourney after missing the final two regular season games due to injuries. It provided extra floor time for both McLaughlin and Tom, as well as others, and their efforts resonated with their teammates. “(McLaughlin) has been
playing her best ball the last four games,” said the head coach. “She’s had lots of minutes and made the most of them, close to putting up a double-double. … When you get that kind of contribution from someone coming in, it pushes everyone else.” Now the Royals turn their focus to Edmonton, where they will represent B.C. at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Continued on page 35

Douglas off to nationals Continued from page 34 championships, beginning March 16. In his previous stint as men’s head coach, dating back nearly 20 years, Beauchamp guided Douglas to a silver medal and two bronze. He said the competition at the nationals requires extreme diligence on defence and a quick ability to make changes. “I recall you have to ad-
just quickly, because these are teams you haven’t seen before other than on film,” the coach said. “You don’t know them and what you do know they’ll surprise you with different things.” Douglas will open against the undefeated Lethbridge Kodiaks, who were ranked second in the nation prior to the start of the provincials. The Royals, rated 13th, enter as underdogs, but coach
Beauchamp feels comfortable with his squad’s work ethic. “This is a pretty veteran group, but at the same time it’s the first time for all of them to get (to nationals),” he said. “I know that Ontario, Alberta and Quebec’s teams are higher ranked and favoured than we are, but I think we can use that to our advantage.”
