Faith Villareal, a Queensborough Middle School student, stands in front of a city truck that has her winning artwork on it. Villareal’s art was the winning entry in the city’s 2016 environmental poster contest, which had a theme of Watch Your Flow, H2O. Students were asked to create a poster showing the importance of conserving water and ways to do so.

The city received 222 entries from students at seven schools and presented prizes to winners last June, but Faith’s artwork just recently made it onto the side of one of the city’s collection trucks.

Up Front THE CHANGING CITY

City is falling behind on road care Compared to other cities, NewWest’s local roads are in worse shape

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

If you think the streets in your neighbourhood are cracking up, you may be right.

New Westminster is home to 227 kilometres of roads, including 13 km in Queensborough, 14 km in the Major Roads Network that are funded by TransLink, 55 km of major city roads (arterials, collectors, and local roads providing bus service) and 142 km of minor roads including local roads and lanes.

Roger Emanuels, the city’s manager of design and construction, said conditions are getting better on the Major Road Network and major city roads that accommodate buses and goods movement, as a result of the investment that’s been put into paving those roads.

“We have actually kind of fallen behind on our local roads,” he told council recently. “We probably have to retune our funding and spend a little more on our local roads to start addressing the backlog that we have got on our locals.”

A report presented to council indicates about 12.9 per cent of “minor roads” in New West have cracking, compared to 5.6 per cent in 2006.The regional average is around seven per cent.

“We are quite a bit higher than the surrounding municipalities,” Emanuels said.

“Part of that is our local road network is quite a bit older than the surrounding municipalities.”

The report notes the city has steadily been increasing its budget for pavement management since 2006 and has budgeted $4.4 million in the 2017 capital budget.

CRACKING UP: Roads, such as this one in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, are showing their age and lack of upkeep. The city’s manager of design and construction says the winter conditions this year will result in even more problems with local roads. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER According to the report, it’s anticipated the city would require a budget closer to $5 million annually to improve the “all cracked area” to eight per cent. Based on funds proposed in the 2017 to 2021 capital budget, the city would slowly improve the cracking on the road network to 10 per cent.

Emanuels noted the winter conditions experienced this year will also result in more problems with local roads. He said

the city’s road replacement program has generally been driven by replacement of utilities like sewer and water mains.

“We probably have to accelerate that and start doing more paving, maybe ahead of our utility works or advancing some utility works so that we can actually get that paving done,” he said. “We don’t want to pave a road one year and come back and do a water main or a sewer main after we have

done that.”

As an older community, New Westminster struggles with an aging infrastructure, including roads, said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

“It’s interesting to note that in 2006 we spent just over half-a-million dollars.We are now spending almost $4.5 million, and yet in many regards we are still falling behind,” Continued on page 8

PARENT COUNCIL ORGANIZES FUNDRAISER

Freak accident injures Glenbrook student’s eye

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

It’s a parent’s worst nightmare.

Twenty-seven weeks pregnant and on her way to pick up her 11-year-old daughter from École Glenbrook Middle School, Arlene Casimiro got a call from staff notifying her her daughter Juliana had been injured in an accident.When she arrived at the school, she found her daughter crying, but there was no visible injury. No blood. Nothing.

“When I saw my daughter, I thought it wasn’t that bad. So I said, ‘OK, don’t

cry’; she was crying and crying. So I said let’s go to emergency,” Casimiro said.

She was told her daughter was hit in her right eye with a pen that bounced off a locker, apparently thrown by another student.

Casimiro and her daughter went by ambulance to Royal Columbian Hospital and then to Children’s Hospital where Juliana was rushed into surgery. “(The pen sliced) her cornea, a part of the iris was cut off and her lens was detached,” she recalled.

“While waiting for her surgery, I broke my bag of water and then had a prema-

ture baby at 27 weeks.”

The accident happened on Oct. 6. Four days later, Casimiro gave birth to a 2.56-pound baby.The baby girl was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit at Royal Columbia Hospital and on Dec. 23, she was allowed to go home. She is now about 12 pounds, Casimiro said proudly.

But the whole thing has been quite an ordeal for the Casimiro family of six.

“My daughter, unfortunately, is unable to see because of the accident,” she said.

Juliana has had to go back to Children’s Hospital a few

times for followup appointments. She still has a suture in her cornea, which will have to be removed, and she’ll have to have a lens inserted eventually, too.

She will also need a cornea transplant and cosmetic surgery to repair her iris.

“If you see her, you won’t see the difference, except her eyes are not aligned right now,” Casimiro said.

Despite there being no guarantees Juliana will ever see out of her right eye again, she is in good spirits, her mom said.

“I ask her how is she feeling, and she says, ‘I’m OK mom, I’m OK.’ She’s very,

I just want her to get her eyesight back very nice. She’s not a complainer. I think she’s even stronger than me. Like I’m always crying, she never cries,” she said.

The Glenbrook parent advisory council has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for Juliana.

The donations will be used to pay for her cosmetic surgery and to cover the costs of any future supports

and services she may need.

The goal is to raise $15,000, which would be put into a trust for Juliana.

“I just want her to get her eyesight back,” Casimiro said.

So far, the fundraiser has collected $4,120 in donations.To donate, go to www.gofundme.com/ JulianaEyeFund.

The New Westminster school district has insurance in case of accidents on school property. It’s unknown if any of Juliana’s care will be paid by the district’s coverage.

The future of NewWestminster Secondary School rests in the hands of three design teams who have been tapped to come up with proposals for the aging school’s replacement.

Last week, the district announced three potential design-build partners have been shortlisted: Clark

They’ll have input into the design Builders and Stantec; Graham Design-Builders LP and KMBR Architects Planners Inc.; and Stuart Olson Construction Ltd. and Thinkspace Architecture Planning Interior Design.

As part of the design-build process, the teams respond to the district’s request for qualifications in hopes of securing the contract to build the

$106.5-million high school.

“These three companies will now come back once we have completed what’s called the statement of requirements, which basically says, ‘This is what we want in a school,’” said Pat Duncan, superintendent of the NewWestminster School District.

The statement of requirements should be ready to go by the end of the month, Duncan added, and from there, the three teams will design what was could be the new high school.

But the public won’t have a say in which design they like best. Instead, residents will be able to provide feedback once the winning proposal has been selected.This round of community consultations is scheduled for September, Duncan said.

“What we’ve said is that they’ll have input into the design. So they’ll have an opportunity to see the design and say, ‘This we like.

This we think is really great,’” he said.

Because the statement of requirements is still being

What’s in a school?

Here are the school district’s aspirations for the NWSS replacement project: Build a school that will support the evolving learning environment.

Create a school with the flexibility to meet the needs of a rapidly changing society.

Develop a sustainable design that will minimize impacts on the environment.

Develop a design with an emphasis on healthy students, teachers and staff.

Respect, protect and preserve the historical and cultural significance of the site.

crafted, Duncan couldn’t say exactly what the district wants in the new high school other than what is outlined in the 10 project aspirations included in the high school replacement discussion guide.

“We’ve looked at new schools and seen what others are doing,” Duncan said.

“Most importantly we want it to be a school that

Create spaces that consider the role of rapidly changing technology in the ways students learn.

Construction of the new high school is expected to get underway in September with the grand opening on track for September 2019, according to Duncan.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Our solution: Hold elections every year During the last two weeks we, and the citizens of B.C., have been deluged by government announcements on everything from Sparwood infrastructure improvements to Uber.There really seems to be something for everyone.

Like a PNE hawker, the government is appealing to the widest possible market.

Last week, there were announcements on technology skills, seniors’ care, affordable housing, grants galore, something for B.C. food processors, more ambu-

lances and paramedics, B.C. farmers’ markets and a new hospice in Langley. Many of these are good and needed.

And now this week, Christy Clark says she’s launching a commission to look into political donations. Really? We suspect it isn’t coincidental her conversion came after media reports the RCMP were looking into potential violations of the B.C. Elections Act by Liberal lobbyist/supporters.

Not to mention Clark’s other announcement of a new law to be introduced

requiring bureaucrats to document key government decisions.

Again, really? It was the Liberal government’s own practice of avoiding a possible paper trail to evade Freedom of Information laws that has been an issue during the Liberal’s reign.

Next week we expect to get an announcement about a commission on government bribing its own taxpayers with taxpayer money.

We only wish.

The problem is that voters are so cynical they just

shrug their shoulders when another announcement comes out about something that should have been done three years ago.

It’s politics, they say.

Well, we can’t argue with that. But if our expectations for governing have sunk this low, then there’s really only one solution.We need to have elections every year.

It would work like this: For six months of the year MLAs would sit in the legislature (probably more than they currently do) and the other six would consist of

running around passing out cheques and figuring out who they needed to bribe next year. And, yes, there is that irritating problem of always having to go to the polls – but it would soon become a yearly chore just like daylight savings. And, for those who say it will cost more and result in shortterm policies, we say phooey – it will actually encourage politicians to keep their promises and not to continue to count on just one segment of the population for support. If you’re up for re-

election every year, you’re going to have to expand your base considerably. And it will even out the everyfour-years deluge of ‘bribes.’

And, frankly, it may even encourage more voters to vote. It appears the average voter has a very short memory – certainly few seem to remember scandals that are even two years old.

With annual elections, heck, it’ll even pop up as a Facebook memory. Something people do seem to pay attention to.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

What role will Greens play?

While our two main provincial parties continue to snipe at each other on a daily basis, they both may want to glance over their shoulders at something that may prove to be a significant factor in how either of those parties fare on Election Day. That would be the B.C. Green Party.While I see nothing to suggest it is anywhere near being in a position to actually win the election, there is mounting evidence it may be able to damage both the NDP and the B.C. Liberals in some key ridings in the province and perhaps even pick up a couple of seats.

First off, the party’s infrastructure and resources bear little resemblance to the party’s operations in the 2013 election.

Back then, it ran a threadbare campaign with an unfocused approach, and it still resulted in a breakthrough win in the Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding. Four years later, the party has a dozen paid staff on the payroll (up from just one) and is heading into the election campaign with enough money to run a more modern campaign.

Party leader Andrew Weaver will even have a leader’s tour bus, and he intends to visit wide swaths of the province. He will undoubtedly garner considerably more media coverage than any Green party campaign in the past.

Weaver tells me party fundraising has skyrocketed in

recent months, with more than $5,000 coming in on an average day, all individual donations (the average amount is $51). He expects the party to spend between $1 million and $2 million in the campaign, an unheard of amount for the party in past elections.

The Greens have also paid more attention to attracting solid candidates and expect to field a candidate in the vast majority, if not all, of B.C.’s 87 ridings.

Weaver has also discovered some issues that contrasts the Greens well compared to the other two parties.

The Greens are the only party to refuse campaign donations from unions and corporations.

Where lies the best chance for more Green Party wins on May 9? The 2013 results showed the Greens can steal votes from both of the other parties.

So look toVancouver Island, and ridings like Saanich North and the Islands and CowichanValley, both currently held by the NDP. Or to B.C. Liberal ridings on the North Shore in MetroVancouver or the Burnaby ridings, where Kinder Morgan may be a dominant issue.

New Democrats and B.C. Liberals are locked in verbal warfare with each other right now. But they ignore the B.C. Greens at their peril, at least in certain ridings.

Letters Weaver has it wrong

has earned my vote.

Dr. Wendy Johnson, New Westminster

Dear Editor: I read the comments from the leader of the Green Party on his recent visit to New Westminster with interest. As a newcomer to New West, I don’t believe he could be more wrong about our MLA Judy Darcy and about the people living in our community.

Having moved here 18 months ago, my husband and I have been very impressed by Judy’s commitment to the people of New Westminster.

Whenever we attended a public event, Judy was there. When the people on Richmond Street were about to lose their transit service, Judy was there to help them keep that vital service; as the cost of housing has increased, Judy has gone to bat for people and helped establish a rental bank; when neo-Nazi posters appeared on a local church, Judy organized a rally where close to 200 residents came out to express their solidarity. A great track record for an MLA, and I’m sure these aren’t all of her accomplishments.

And this is why people vote for her.

The citizens of New West are welcoming, compassionate and caring. There is a strong sense of community; people care about the environment; they care about each other; and they are thoughtful about the decisions they make. They are not apathetic as the leader of the Green party suggests.

And it is these same heads and hearts that will go to the polls in May as will I. And Judy Darcy

Let the fun back in Dear Editor: I was extremely disappointed to read the heel-dragging taking place within city hall regarding the proposed arcade. We have someone wanting to bring a fun and exciting business to our downtown core, and he is being hindered by a ban put in place in our city over 20 years ago, because of noise and rowdiness, and that he may want to serve alcohol, particularly for special events. This is a textbook example of regulation and red tape hindering business.

In the past 20 years, the clientele of arcades has completely changed, and complaints in the past are no longer relevant, especially in our downtown. Mr. Eyers has a viable plan to produce a high-quality arcade in our area. No city other than Vancouver has something similar.

We had a real opportunity here to bring in a business to the group in our city who are consistently underserved – adults in our city who have no children and are not seniors.

We try to be like Vancouver in a lot of ways – bike lanes, public art installations, even trying to get restaurants that people will come from outside our city to come and visit. Too bad we’re trying to compete with them for “no-fun city,” too.

City Queensborough residents will vote in new riding

Continued from page 1 to New Westminster residents and repeatedly hears from constituents that B.C. “can’t afford” four more years of Christy Clark.

Campbell said she chose to run for the Greens as she believes the party has the best plan for B.C. In addition to the New Westminster riding, some New West residents will be heading to the polls in the new Richmond-Queensborough riding.To date, three candidates have been named in the new riding: Jas Johal – Liberals; Amandeep Singh – NDP; and Michael

Wolfe, B.C. Green Party.

“In this election, I am running to challenge the status quo that is contributing to the declining livability of our region,”Wolfe said in a press release after being named as the riding’s candidate last week. “Sciencebased community decisionmaking (and MLA voting) must take precedence over the interests of corporations and unions. Only the B.C. Greens are walking the talk when we speak about ending unethical fundraising and lobbying practices.The Richmond-Queensborough area is where I’ve spent

most of my 35 years and I care about the future of this region.”

Some folks, including former mayor Wayne Wright, anticipate a lively race in

New Westminster, considering the community profiles of the candidates.

“It’s going to be an interesting election in the city,” he recently told the Record.

“I don’t think there is a debate it becomes a real race.”

Wright, meanwhile, said he’s been approached by people encouraging him to seek the Liberal nomination in New Westminster for the provincial election, but it’s not something he’s interested in doing, partly because he votes for individuals, not parties, but also because he’s got a lot of things on

the go. In addition to serving on the Vancouver Airport Authority’s board of directors,Wright is the owner of Olde World Fudge and is exploring some potential new business endeavours.

“It’s been a couple of years now,” said Wright, who left politics in 2014 after losing his bid for re-election as mayor. “I’ve got other things I am doing.”

Roads in bad shape

Continued from page 3 he said. “I think the report really does highlight that in terms of the major roads we are doing a good job and keeping pace, but on the more local road network we are falling behind.We are going to have to have a look at that to keep the road conditions to a point where we’d like to keep them in.”

The report defines pavement management as the process of planning the maintenance and repair of the road network in order

to optimize pavement conditions over the entire network.

“In a pavement management program, you will actually go and mill and pave a road before the public actually thinks it needs to be done,” Emanuels said of the road repairs. “That’s because you are actually addressing it at the right time, before the cracking gets too bad and it starts deteriorating and your maintenance funds start to go up.”

HAPPY CLIENT COMMENTS:

I worked primarily with Lyle in buying my first condo unit.

In my experience, he was able to properly inform me of the blunt realities of today’s aggressive GVR housing market while still maintaining a low-pressure approach that respected my priorities and boundaries - even when my perspective wasn’t necessarily realistic. Both Lyle and Sandy struck me as keenly knowledgeable and perceptive: I remember marveling as they cruised through two apartment units, pointing out a stunning assortment of features big and small, dissecting their details and expounding upon their greater significance like art historians at the National Gallery.

My advice, if you’re like me and just starting off in this real estate stuff, is to make the most of this strength of theirs.

They are remarkably friendly and responsive: ask them all the questions you can, big picture and minutiae. Buying real estate is emotional and you can easily get swept away by it all - it is essential as a real estate rookie that you get smarter and make informed, clinical decisions. I have every confidence that Lyle and Sandy can and do ensure that for their clients.

Fundraiser planned to honour Colin Mackay NewWest teacher ‘was just an awesome person to be around, very caring and hardworking and creative’

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

He was a man of many talents, and next Friday, the community will have an opportunity to celebrate the life of New Westminster school teacher Colin Mackay.

Mackay died in a motorcycle accident near Kamloops on July 2, 2015. He had been teaching in New Westminster since 1998, first as a teacher-on-call, then at New Westminster Secondary School and later at Lord Kelvin Elementary School.

On what would have been Mackay’s 44th birth-

day, his partner, Julia Goudkova, is hosting an art show in his memory to raise funds for the Colin Mackay Memorial Fund, which provides scholarships to students in the Rocksolid program, a fine arts and anti-bullying program offered at New Westminster Secondary School.

“His family and I thought it would be a good time to celebrate his life and all of the love and beauty that he brought into the world,” she told the Record.

Goudkova and Mackay were together for nine years before the accident.

She describes him as “a

man of many talents.”

“He was a teacher, but he was also a bartender and a published author, … and he wrote some poetry on the side, and one of the things he was quite passionate about was travelling – especially long road trips,” she laughed.

Goudkova said his passion for life knew no bounds. He would fill every minute of the day with something interesting, productive or fun.

“He was just an awesome person to be around, very caring and hardworking and creative,” she added.

THIS WEEK’S W SOLDS

Cops seize $25,000 worth of drugs in traffic stop An estimated $25,000 worth of drugs was seized during a routine traffic stop in New Westminster early Tuesday morning.

The car was pulled over around 2 a.m. just north of the Pattullo Bridge along McBride Boulevard, according to acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department.

The officer stopped the vehicle and through her interaction with the driver,

had cause to arrest the individual and his two passengers. As is procedure, Scott said, the vehicle was searched following the arrests and it was during the search the officer discovered what is believed to be 100 grams of heroin and 82 grams of cocaine.

“Those will be sent off to the lab for confirmation of what type of drugs they are.

It’s an estimated street value of $25,000, and $7,000 in cash was also seized as part

of the investigation,” he told the Record.

The three suspects were taken into custody and have been released on a promise to appear. No charges have been laid, but a report was to be sent to Crown counsel this week, Scott said.

“Then it’s in Crown counsel’s hands with respect to deciding if charges are going to be laid and what charges specifically,” he said.

Naloxone kit saves man’s life

Transit Police saved a man from an overdose last month using naloxone kits they were issued January.

This was the first time the new kits were used to prevent an overdose, according to a press release from Transit Police.

It happened around 2 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 25, when a passenger spotted a man in a stairwell at

the New Westminster SkyTrain station. He seemed to be suffering from an overdose, so the passenger alerted Transit Police.When they located the man, he was unresponsive, so the officers administered naloxone “and within several minutes he responded and spoke to officers,” according to a press release from Transit Police.

“He advised he had used

heroin that may have been laced with fentanyl and that this has happened to him before. Ambulance attended and took him to hospital,” noted the release.

Transit Police began carrying naloxone in January when the department purchased 40 kits to serve the on-duty officers. All 140 officers have been trained in its use.

Tradition: The traditional white May Queen attire, seen here on Claire Haffner, left, and Cassidy Tecklenborg in 2015, is getting a fresh new look for the 2017 celebrations. PHOTO RECORD FILES

May Queen suite gets a new look The 2017 Royal Suite will be donning a new look for the Royal City’s 147th May Day celebration on May 24.

Instead of the white dresses and capes worn by past May Queens and girls in the Royal Suite, the girls in this year’s Royal Suite will be wearing purple and pink floral dresses that are lined with crinoline and topped with a white bolero and short, white gloves.

“The entire 2017 Royal Suite will stand out not only for the apparel they are wearing, complete with crowns of flowers and a crown for the May Queen, but for their leadership skills and community spirit,” said a statement from the school district Janet Grant, associate superintendent of schools

for the New Westminster School District, said it’s anticipated the girls’ dresses will change each May Day. The Royal Knights will be wearing white, long-sleeved dress shirts with a purple tie and black pants.

“I’ve had feedback from a few individuals with concerns about changing the May Day attire. Most of the comments are about the longstanding history and tradition of the white dresses and robes,” Grant said in an email to the Record.

“But, as we all know, history and traditions evolve over time and we felt it important to refresh the attire to coincide with a renewed event in the park, which will be more engaging and student-friendly than ever.”

Trusting in the love for all things vintage

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s vintage scene just got a new addition, and it’s nothing like the Salvation Army or Value Village.

Gemini Rising Vintage carries a curated collection of second-hand clothing from the 1920s right through to the ’90s. Owned

by Marriki Schlifer, the 27-year-old has been selling vintage clothing online through Etsy for seven years, and making the jump to a brick-and-mortar location was something she’d been eyeing for some time.

“It became kind of a hobby that turned into, ‘Oh, I really want to do this,’ and I just fell in love with the process and being my own boss,” Schlifer told the Record.

When looking for a location, New Westminster presented as the logical choice, she said. Schlifer lived in the Royal City for several years, and compared to similar storefronts in Vancouver, the rent was reasonable. Plus the city itself fit with her vision for Gemini Rising.

“It still has all the old buildings, and I think that blends itself very well to the vintage vibe.There’s other antique stores and people are coming to town already looking for that esthetic,” Schlifer said.

New Westminster is no stranger to thrift shops. In addition to the big two – Salvation Army and Value Village – there are several stores around the city selling second-hand clothes, but Schlifer doesn’t see that as a problem.

SHOESTOPPER:

Marriki Schlifer, 27, recently opened Gemini Rising Vintage on Sixth Street in New Westminster.

The shop carries a curated collection of second-hand clothing from the 1920s to the ’90s.

The shop carries mostly women’s clothing, including wedding and prom dresses, plus sizes, accessories and shoes. Schlifer was attracted to the area for its reasonable rents and for the vintage vibe created by the heritage buildings in the downtown.

“The same thing could be said about furniture and yet there’s vintage furniture stores doing really well in New Westminster,” she said.

“If you have something different and special and good, people do recognize that quality.”

Located at 43 Sixth St., Gemini Rising is one of two spaces that used to make up Renaissance Book Store (the other half is home to Mila + Paige, another cloth-

ing store). Using salvaged wood and old book shelves she found in the basement, Schlifer made herself a cash desk and clothing racks.

She carries mostly women’s clothing, including wedding and prom dresses, plus sizes, accessories and shoes, and a small selection of men’s clothes.

“I do pick based on quality and the style of things.

I’ve been selling online for seven years before this so

#805-15 E Royal Ave

I’ve kind of honed down online what people are looking for. I’m more focused on what’s special, and not your everyday minimal pieces. I like colour. I like things that are loud,” she said.

Schlifer got into the business when she was in school earning her bachelor’s degree in fashion design. She and her classmates would go thrifting during their lunch break, and one day

Schlifer started selling some of her finds online.

Today, most of the clothing she sells come from private sales.

Gemini Rising opened two weeks ago and so far, business has been good, Schlifer said.

The biggest challenge so far, she said, is getting used to the retail work and the inconsistent pace of it all.

She says her online business is still her main source

of income, but she hopes to one day have a solid enough customer base at Gemini Rising to hire an employee so she can focus on balancing both shops.

“This is long-term for me,” she said. “I’ve already been doing this for seven years, so this is something I’m very passionate about.”

Community CITY HALL IN BRIEF

Christian school, church proposed for 12th Street Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A school and a church are collaborating on a project in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood.

Council will soon consider a rezoning application that will allow Calvary Worship Centre and John Knox Christian School to share a building and parking at 260 12th St. At a March 27 public hearing, city council will consider a rezoning application that would allow the project to proceed.

“The school would have up to 450 students and 30 staff,” said a staff report.

“The sanctuary of the worship centre would hold up to 250 people.”

ARTISTIC VISION The city is investing in a vision for public art in New Westminster.

Council has approved a

recommendation to allocate $5,000 from the public art reserve fund to help develop a public art plan for New Westminster.

The $5,000 includes a facilitator’s honorarium, design and publication of the public art plan.

A staff report states the plan will identify a vision and guiding principles will inform opportunities for public art placement throughout the city.

CHINA TRIP OK’D The City of New Westminster will be footing the bill for a city councillor’s trip to China.

Council has approved a recommendation from the city’s international relations task force to have Coun.

Lorrie Williams represent the city in Lijiang, China, where she will interview girls for a student exchange.

The city will fund the trip

from its sister city account.

Williams will be in Lijiang from April 15 to 22 conducting the interviews.The city will cover her airfare and hotel costs; a budget hasn’t been set, so Williams will submit receipts when she returns home.

A staff report states the city’s “international student visitation policy” was adopted by council in 2010 and allows the city to up to two members of council to travel to interview students.

Each year, the City of New Westminster invites four students to attend New Westminster Secondary School.

The policy states that all costs associated with the student, including airfare, school supplies, accommodations, meals and leisure activities, will be funded through donations, students’ families or international sources.

Arts & Entertainment Young New West poet honours cousin’s memory Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Inspired by her family, 12-year-old Hannah Brine has published a book of poetry in honour of her cousin Eva Markvoort.

Hannah, who is in Grade 6 at École Glenbrook Middle School, began writing poems when she was about seven years old. Before too long, she had amassed a large collection, she said.

But it was a gift from her aunt Janet Brine that motivated her to write a book, Hannah said.

“I had gotten some of (Eva’s) poems from her mom, and I needed a place to put all of mine because they were kind of everywhere,” she added.

Her cousin Eva is well known in New Westminster. She was featured in the award-winning Canadian documentary 65_RedRoses, which chronicled her wait for a double lung transplant.

Markvoort, who blogged about her experience with cystic fibrosis under the name 65redroses, died of the disease on March 27, 2010.

Five years later, Janet died of cancer.

Janet and Eva are very much a part of Hannah’s finished work, a book titled 65:A Book of Poems. Money earned through the sale of her book will be donated to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, and some of Eva’s poems have been incorporated into the book.

“She did something really cool,” Hannah’s mother, Stacy said. “(Hannah) took one of Eva’s poems and then she added a couple of stanzas on to it so that it’s sort of done by both of them, which is really sweet.”

Hannah writes about everything from nature and

seasons to family and occasions. Anything can be a poem, she said.

“It’s kind of something that just happens. I don’t really have to think a lot about it. It’s just I see something, I like it, I put my thoughts down, make it rhyme, and it’s a poem,” she said.

While Hannah doesn’t have a favourite poem, Stacy does. It’s called Ripples and it’s one of her daughter’s more recent poems.

“Most of her poems rhyme, which I think when you’re really little it’s easy to

put them together like that, but there’s a few in there that don’t and for me I like those ones because they seem a little more sophisticated; they seem a little different,” she said about why Ripples is her favourite.

65:A Book of Poems also features original artwork by Hannah and two friends, Aimee Lever and Summer Thomas, as well as other family members, friends and students.

The book is available for purchase online at tinyurl. com/BrinePoetry.

Arts & Entertainment Program introduces kids, teens to musical theatre Kids and teens in New Westminster are being given a chance to experience the world of musical theatre side by side with professionals in the field.

Patrick Street Productions, the New Westminster-based company that has earned accolades for its professional productions of contemporary musicals, is offering a new youth musical theatre program at Anvil Centre.

The three-week long program, running April 11 to 28, is aimed at young performers aged 11 to 18.

Peter Jorgensen, co-artistic producer of Patrick Street Productions, is directing the new program.

“These classes are for kids who have at least a spark of curiosity or interest in the performing arts,” he says.

That doesn’t mean they need to have extensive performing experience, though Jorgensen is expecting that

some participants will indeed come with stage skills.

What he wants to see is young people with enthusiasm and a genuine curiosity about the world of musical theatre.

“They want to get a peek behind the curtain at what professional training might be like,” he says.

Jorgensen will be working with musical director Sean Bayntun and choreographer Lyndsey Britten, along with guest instructors from the cast of Patrick Street’s upcoming A Little Night Music – including veteran Vancouver performer Patti Allan.

“It’s a really unique experience.They actually get to work with members from our creative team and cast,” Jorgensen says. “I don’t know if there’s another program like it.”

Kids will be separated into groups by age, with a junior class for 11- to 14-year-olds and a senior class for 15- to 18-year-olds.

“This is not about how advanced they are. It’s about teaching every stu-

dent exactly where they’re at,” Jorgensen notes. “We don’t pander to the younger ones because they’re younger.We don’t sugar coat the training.We just want kids to feel comfortable in their own peer group.”

The new program grows out of one of Patrick Street’s core values, which is the education of young artists.

For Jorgensen, that means teaching the participants more than just steps and words – it means teaching them how to grow and evolve as performers.

“One of my primary philosophies is process over product,” he says.

Students will be introduced to a couple of Broadway ensemble numbers, but the course won’t simply focus on teaching choreography and lyrics. Rather, for the first part of the program, students will have a chance to explore performance and learn techniques they can bring to advance their own work. In the final week, they’ll put it all together in staged numbers.

“First, we lay the foundation of the craft,” Jorgensen says. “That’s really exciting, then they’ve got work that they can own as well.You end up with a bigger sense of ownership from the artists because they’re involved in the creative process.”

Jorgensen says offering the classes at Anvil Centre, where A Little Night Music

will be onstage in May, is a win-win for both his company and the new performing arts venue.The students will get a chance to experience top-notch facilities, including a performance at the Anvil Centre Theatre to end their three-week program, and the Anvil Centre will benefit from more young people finding out

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

With less than four months left in the school year, the 2017/18 budget process is underway in the New Westminster school district.

Community members are invited to have their say on what the board of education should prioritize in the upcoming year.The school board uses four key principles to guide its decisions.

Those principles are: engagement and personalized learning; social and emotional well-being; communicating student learning; and use of technology as a transformational educational tool.

“We welcome your feedback and thoughts on these key principles or any other items you feel should be reflected in the budget,” read a statement on the district’s website. “We invite you to consider a broad range of priorities that are relevant to

you and your child (i.e. literacy, numeracy, social responsibility, school facilities, technology).”

Go to tinyurl.com/SD40 Survey to fill out a quick survey. Results of the survey will be shared with trustees at the April board of education meeting.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR Consultation is also underway for next year’s school calendar.

We welcome your feedback and thoughts…

The 2017/18 proposed calendar features only one change from the current school year: no four dayweekend for Remembrance Day. Any comments or concerns must be sent to the district before March 28

We’re Here To Help

when the proposed calendar will be brought before the board of education for a final recommendation based on any changes, according to the New Westminster school district.

To view the calendar, go to tinyurl.com/SD40 Calendar. Comments and concerns should be sent to boardofeducation@sd40. bc.ca.

Ellie King directs Opening Night, onstage March 17 and 18 at the Surrey Arts Centre and March 24 and 25 at the ACT Arts Centre in Maple Ridge.

Local performer Gina Raye Young is in the cast for Norm Foster’s comedy – which tells the story of what happens when Ruth Tisdale, a theatre lover, wins a pair of tickets for an opening night performance of a new Canadian play, and who drags along her husband, Jack, for a 25th anniversary celebration.

Evening shows are on all four nights at 7:30 p.m., with 3:30 matinees on both Sundays (March 18 and 25). For more, check out www.rctheatreco.com.

The reading is set for Sunday, March 19 at 11:30 a.m. at Boston Pizza at Columbia Square. Featured poets this month are Bernice Lever and Russell Thornton, who both come with impressive resumés.

Lever is the founder of Waves, a literary magazine that ran from 1972 to 1987.

Her latest book, Small Acts, is her 11th poetry collection.Thornton, meanwhile, has earned acclaim for a number of his works: The Hundred Lives was shortlisted for the 2015 Griffin Poetry Prize, and Birds, Metals,

Stones & Rain was shortlisted for the 2013 Governor General’s Award for Poetry, the Raymond Souster Award and the Dorothy Livesay B.C. Book Prize.

Gerphil Flores will be performing on Saturday, March 18 at the Anvil Centre, offering up a repertoire of soft classics that blend classical with pop, rock, Latin and other genres.

She’ll be joined by Attila Dobak, another classical crossover artist who has become known as one of the “barihunks” – for the uninitiated, that billing is used to describe a group of the sexiest baritone singers from the world of opera.

You can get tickets for $50, or VIP tickets (including a glass of wine) for $100. See www.anvilcentre. com for all the details.

Community Acclaimed writer backs literacy in New West Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An acclaimed Canadian author is lending her voice to a fundraiser for a literacy initiative for kids.

Royal City residents are invited to join Madeleine Thien for an intimate evening conversation about her latest book, Do Not Say We Have Nothing, winner of the Governor-General’s Literary Award for Fiction and the Giller Prize. At the March 21 event,Thien will read selections from the book and answer questions about the novel, the art of writing and life after gaining literary celebrity.

New West based writer and broadcaster J.J. Lee, author of the novel The Measure of a Man, is organizing the event.

“It’s going to feel like you are with your 100 best friends talking about your favourite book,” he said. “I really feel it’s like a personal experience. I like people to be comfortable and happy.

There will be no strangers

by the end of the night.”

An Evening with Acclaimed Novelist Madeleine Thien takes place on Tuesday, March 21 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park. It features an evening of book talk, refreshments, food and good company by a roaring fire.

In 2013, Lee organized Fireside Stories at a New West home featuring readings by several authors, including Thien.When Thien’s latest novel won the 2016 Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction, he asked if she’d be willing to do another event in New West, and she agreed.

“Madeleine is such a wonderful reader,” Lee said.

The event is raising funds for the One to One Literacy Society, which provides onetoo-one tutoring to elementary school children during regular school hours. Lee, who spoke at the Vancouver-based society’s volunteer appreciation tea a few years ago and has cohosted its annual spelling bee fundraiser,

told the society that if it ever expanded to New Westminster he’d do a fundraiser, and that’s something that’s now being considered.

“They are aware of the One to One Literacy Society,” Lee said of the school district. “Lots of the volunteers are former teachers.

They are fully trained before they begin to tutor.There is actually a tutoring camp they go to.”

Boosting kids’ literacy skills can be life changing for kids, Lee said.

“This organization provides the tutors for free – free to the family, free to the district.When you introduce writing, there is health outcomes, there are economic outcomes.The difference between having reading proficiency and not having reading proficiency is vast in terms of health and wellbeing outcomes,” he said.

Tickets are $50 and available at www.eventbrite. ca (search for Madeleine Thien) or by calling Lee at 604-540-1793. No tickets will be available at the door.

OUR PAST

Spring is just about here, kind of like it was in 1864 Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

It is quite clear from conversations and comments that many feel spring is nearly upon us, and folks are ready to say goodbye to icy, snowy and slushy mounds and surfaces.

In early 1864, at the same time of year as we are presently in, a short article and some advertisements showed New Westminster’s residents were also looking ahead to warmer weather and their gardening. One of the simpler notices was included in a major ad by W.J. Armstrong, who operated a prominent, well-stocked general store serving the region and colony, with one short line stating: “N.B. Fresh Garden Seeds – Just received and for sale.”

An advert for a local gardening store run by Robert Hall, a man well versed in the growing arts, would have made him very busy

at this time of year. “Fresh garden seeds, fruit trees, and ornamental shrubbery” would have captured the attention of the town’s interested citizens. Hall was described as a professional gardener “(who) will at all times be happy to afford his customers any information or direction respecting the planting of seeds, treatment of plants, etc.”

Another similar business that promoted its products at the same time in the local Royal City press was Jay and Co., Seed Warehouse, No. 5, Fort Street,Victoria.

Their claim was that they had “unrivalled stock of island grown and imported agricultural, garden and flower seeds.” An interesting feature of this firm was that the customer could contact Jay and Co. to arrange to receive a catalogue of their stock.

There was also a business in Victoria that supplied the needs of various

merchants and farmers. On Fort Street, the Balmoral Seed Store and Nursery Depot had a complete stock of trees, seeds and plants along with agricultural implements and machines.

At this same time in the local issue there was a very nice little piece titled Spring which very clearly set up the change of seasons and the wish for less winter.

“The buds are rapidly swelling and the earth is beginning again to assume her ‘robe of verdant hues;’ indeed the young leaves are making their appearance on the trees, and we may safely assure ourselves that spring is already at our doors.The weather has been somewhat unpleasant for the last few days, on account of the quantity of rain; but we have had no reason to complain of the winter, which has been one of great moderation and could not fail to please the most fastidious.”

Stealthy strike in Denver Continuing a trend that baffles their own management, the Vancouver Stealth made hay on the road again, this time tripping up the Colorado Mammoth on Sunday.

By a 10-6 margin, the visiting Stealth took advantage of a weary Mammoth lineup and led 3-1 after the opening quarter. New Westminster Salmonbellies’ forward Joel McCready opened the scoring for Vancouver at 1:08 of the first and Rhys Duch netted his first of four on the day to make it 2-1.The two teams traded goals in the second quarter, with the Stealth taking control in the fourth frame.

Backstopping the win was former Burnaby Lakers netminder Tye Belanger, who turned aside 53 shots and picked up two helpers.

The Lakers’ Eli McLaughlin had a goal and an assist for Colorado.

It improved Vancouver’s road record to 4-1; they’ve been a dismal 1-4 at the Langley Events Centre, but that one win came two weeks ago against the defending champion Saskatchewan Rush.

They next play on Friday, 7 p.m. when the Buffalo Bandits pay a visit to Langley.

CLAN TOP CONCORDIA TO KICK-START GNAC SEASON The Simon Fraser University women’s softball team earned a split with Concordia in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference season opener last week.

They needed some clutch hitting to overpower the Cavaliers 13-12 in the opener and fell 8-0 in the second game of the day.

In the win, SFU rode a seesaw where they led 5-3 after two innings but were trailing 7-5 entering the fifth.

Taylor Lundrigan and Jada Yeo drove in two runs apiece to ignite a big inning as the Clan plated six runs.

Robyn Mogareva’s bases-loaded walk in the seventh proved to be the decisive run.Tori Belton earned the save to complete the win.

In the nightcap, SFU’s offence dried up as Concordia scored two runs in both the second and third innings to take command.

The Clan’s roster includes New Westminster outfielder Meghan Malkowich and Burnaby infielder Kendra Ho. Their next test is Saturday, with a doubleheader against St. Martin’s, 1 p.m. at SFU.

NW hosts dual tourneys It was an overwhelming success.

New Westminster Minor Hockey hosted its annual Bobby Love Atom and Al Hughes Peewee Memorial hockey tournaments at Queen’s Park and Moody Arena, delivering some good action in the process.

The Port Moody Panthers won the atom title, edging out the New West C1 Royals 6-3.The Royals had jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one period, but Port Moody replied with five unanswered goals to skate away with the gold.

Finishing third was New West’s C2

team, which was also recognized as the Most Sportsmanlike Team..

To get into the final, New West slipped past previously unbeaten Aldergrove 4-3.

Nine teams competed in the atom series, with Powell River a last-minute addition.

In the Al Hughes Memorial tourney, Ridge Meadows C7 got a goal with two minutes remaining in the third to slip past Aldergrove C3 by a 3-2 margin for the gold.

Semiahmoo finished third.

Schultz sprints to NCAA bronze

NewWest Spartan rips up her own under-20 Canadian pentathlon record Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Many freshmen find the first year a test to avoid being a “deer in the headlights”; where the main task is an adjustment, quietly finding their way around campus and a new social structure while absorbing all the minutiae of university life before pushing to make their own mark.

It’s apparent that New West’s Nina Schultz doesn’t ease into anything.

The New Westminster native continued to turn heads and shatter records in her first year as a student-athlete at Kansas State, establishing a number of personal bests as well as the under-20 Canadian pentathlon record at the NCAA indoor track and field champion-

tathlon event, erasing the previous Canadian u20 record of 4,271.

The previous best mark was also a product of Schultz’s diligence and talent, coming a month ago at the Sevigne Husker Invitational.

The 18-year-old began her march at the NCAAs with the seventh-best time in the 60-metre hurdles – 8.41 seconds – and a new PB. In the high jump, Schultz pierced her past top mark by a centimetre with a vertical of 1.81m, good for third place. It also slotted her fourth on the pentathlon high jump all-time list.

In the shot put, the New West Spartans Track and Field team product placed eighth overall with her second throw for 12.14m, setting another new personal mark.

Things got dramatic in the long jump, when Schultz fouled in her

first two jumps. On her third and final attempt, Schultz delivered a career-best 6.18m for the thirdbest result at the event. It was also the second longest distance in the school’s women’s pentathlon history.

The final event of the women’s pentathlon saw Schultz cross the 800m finish line in 2:26.55, 12th overall but enough to secure the bronze overall total and a first team All-American honour.

She became just the third freshman since 2000 to achieve it.

“Nina has had a long, very successful freshman year. She had a great meet and competed really well,” KS coach Cliff Rovelto told Kstatesports.com. “Her first four events were personal best and her final score was a personal best. She Continued on page 33

It wasn’t classic after all.

Canada didn’t get the result it worked towards as it finished the World Baseball Classic winless.

Up against some pretty well-stocked competition, Canada went 0-3 in the round robin, failing to advance to the medal round.

The Canadian roster, which included New Westminster’s Justin Morneau, lost 9-2 to the Dominican Republic last Thursday in the opener, then were edged 4-1 by Colombia on Saturday.The tournament for

them ended with an 8-0 defeat at the hands of the Americans.They played all their games in Miami.

Morneau, 35, batted second the first two games, scoring his only run in the loss to Colombia. Against the U.S., he was slotted fifth in the batting order and finished 0-for-4.

A member of Canada’s three previous WBC teams, Morneau has also told media outlets he would be fine with ending his playing days wearing the national team jersey.

“It might be the last time I play at all. I’m hoping it’s not but we’ll see. If it is, I can’t think of a better way to do it than to be representing Canada,” he told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.

Last year he joined the Chicago White Sox in June, posting a .261 batting average with six home runs over 58 games. In 2014, he won the National League batting title while with the Colorado Rockies and is a fourtime all star.

He was the 2006 American League MVP.

Schultz sets sights to Tokyo

Continued from page 32 is a good one and she is going to be special going forward.”

The past year has seen Schultz reset numerous personal best scores and a few Canadian records.

Her outdoor 60m hurdles time of 8.33 seconds is ranked No. 1 in the nation for juniors, while she also ownes the top national high

jump mark.

Spartan coach and technical director Besnik Mece, who has known Schultz since meeting her as an eight-year-old attending Lord Kelvin Elementary, said the national team has her on their radar.

“She is taking now much attention of the media, as the new talent athlete of the Canadian combined events,

who could replace the great Brianne Theisen-Eaton,” he wrote in a press release.

“Some of them are predicting for her to compete at (the) 2019 World Indoor championships.

“But Schultz’ engine is much more stronger. She will accelerate faster in the highway of Tokyo 2020 (Olympics).”

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember.

Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.

If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
