The unbreakable Susie Chew EXCLUSIVE It began with a surprise birthday party – a 90th birthday party at the Waffle House. It led to a conversation with an amazing woman whose stories about New Westminster in the 1940s and ’50s recall a bustling little city where a young entrepreneur could really make an impression. They also recall a nearly forgotten racist blot on that city’s history. Susan Chew opened the Waffle House in 1955. She was a single, Chinese-Canadian woman with a great waffle recipe and a can-do attitude, and her uptown cafe became ‘the’ place to hang out, not just for waffles, but also to find out what was happening around town. She was a “colourful character” with a stake in the community, but one day in 1956, instead of making waffles, she felt like “crawling into a dark cellar, into a hole.” Reporter/photographer Cornelia Naylor sat down with Chew and discovered the story behind the story. Part one of Susan Chew’s story is on pages 10 and 11 in today’s paper.

Tweedsmuir gets bucks for repairs By CayleyDobie

City clears a path for new community garden
Funding has been approved for repairs at École Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary school. The Ministry of Education is giving the district nearly $1.3 million to conduct mechanical upgrades and roof repairs/replacement at the school. The West End school opened in 1936.The school has a H2 seismic rating and is at high risk of damage or structural failure in the event of an earthquake. It would likely not be reparable after an incident, according to the province’s seismic mitigation program. The money is being provided by the Education Ministry’s school enhancement fund, and the district will also contribute $230,000 from its annual facilities grant to help pay for the project.The re-
pairs are not part of the seismic mitigation program. The district is still waiting to hear from the ministry if funding has been approved for proposed seismic upgrades to Tweedsmuir. The design and tender portion of the project is expected to begin right away followed by construction, which should wrap up in March 2018, according to the school district. The school district is also still waiting to hear if the ministry will approve its request for an all-out replacement of the aging Richard McBride Elementary School.The Sapperton-area school was built in 1929 and is at high risk of structural failure during an earthquake. McBride is the school district’s number 1 priority, according to its capital plan.Tweedsmuir is the number 2 priority.
Expansive front lawn of city hall will be transformed in project By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The front lawn of city hall will be transformed as the Garden at City Hall aims to get off the ground this summer. Members of New Westminster Environmental Partners approached city council last year about the idea of allowing them to build and maintain a community garden on the front lawn of city hall near Sixth Street, for a two-year trial period.The Garden at City Hall, as the project has been dubbed, will be located near the Royal Avenue and Fourth Street corner of the front lawn, across from Tipperary Park. “I am supportive of this project. I would like to see it happen. I think something needs to happen on the front lawn on city hall – there’s just too much grass for my liking,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “I am concerned about the cost. It’s high.” A staff report estimates
the project would cost $43,000, with the city contributing $23,000 for pedestrian pathways, water services and site preparation, and New Westminster Environmental Partners providing $20,000 for planter boxes, growing medium, a tool shed and equipment. The non-profit group has secured $850 for the project and is pursuing additional grant funding. Members of the New Westminster Environmental Partners’ garden working group are “thrilled” with the design, but noted the project has grown in scope from what they originally anticipated. “While we are striving to fundraise $25,910 to be able to build the community garden the city would like to see, this is a large amount for a community group to fundraise,” the group said in a letter to council. “As the scope has changed significantly and the city has added requirements on the durability of the site and the need to have the project of-
ficially tendered and contracted, we are asking for additional help from the city to build the garden.” The design concept for the community garden envisions 12 raised garden plots,
Area would include 12 raised garden plots , tool shed and composting bins
a tool shed with adjoining composting bins, a water supply for irrigation and interconnecting pathways to facilitate access to and within the site. As the garden would be located on a sloping site, the planters would address concerns about potential washout of the gardens during heavy rains. While staff had recommended an option that would have seen the city
working with New Westminster Environmental Partners to secure grant funding, refining the project design and cost and aiming to include the project in next year’s capital budget, council preferred to get the project off the ground this year. Council unanimously approved a recommendation to cover New Westminster Environmental Partners’ share of the project and have the group reimburse the city over time as funds are raised from other sources. “I’d really like to look at doing this sooner rather than later,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “If there’s a way we can, I’m there.” A staff report notes that the project isn’t included in the city’s 2017 budget program, so funding would have to be redirected from other projects or found through savings in current capital project in order to proceed this year.

Car-sharing biz expands here Evo Car Share, the oneway car share service provider created by BCAA, is coming to New Westminster – its furthest foray out of Vancouver since it launched two years ago. “New West residents told us they want Evo – they want a new, sustainable way to drive into Vancouver or tackle those local hills with a load of groceries,” said Tai Silvey, Evo director, in a press release. The expansion starts on May 19. The Evo Home Zone in New West extends north
from 10th Avenue all the way south to the waterfront and reaches as far west as 14th Street and as far east as East Columbia and Braid street. As a start, dedicated Evo parking will be located throughout busy areas, including Sapperton and New West’s downtown core. Evo’s latest expansion also includes adding 250 more cars into its fleet made up entirely of hybrid, four-door, five-passenger cars equipped with bike and ski racks.

While slashing or reducing bridge tolls may appeal to voters, Mayor Jonathan Cote says it is bad transportation policy. Last weekend, the B.C. Liberals promised to cap bridge tolls at $500 a year. The B.C. NDP responded by promising to slash tolls on both the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges. Cote said the cuts will harm the Mayors’ Council’s long-term transportation plan. “We are playing politics (that) could be significantly damaging to our transportation system based on these very populist-type proposals,” he said. A new Pattullo Bridge is one of the projects proposed by the mayors, and it would be tolled. Capping or slash-

ing tolls for the new bridge when it is built could potentially halt the project. “The challenge with the Pattullo Bridge is we need to make decisions probably by the end of this year regarding the replacement, and the previous plan included half the funding of
that new bridge to be covered by tolls,” he said. “That funding, overnight, appears to have been significantly reduced or completely eliminated and, unless the provincial parties are prepared to pay the entire cost of that bridge, I don’t see how Continued on page 9

Opinion OUR VIEW
The bidding war for votes gets wild Just when you thought politicians couldn’t get much more brazen in bribing voters, this past week the Liberals and NDP both targeted voters south of the Fraser River in an effort to win their support. The Liberals first pledged to cap bridge tolls at $500 a year. Liberal Mike de Jong said the cap would put more than $1,500 back in a commuter’s pocket if that com-
muter crossed a tolled bridge twice a day for work, five days a week. Now, that’s a chunk of change. But then the NDP basically said we can do one better and promised to remove all of the tolls off of the bridges. Whoa! The Greens, thankfully, did not get into this bidding war. Our own Mayor Jona-
than Cote was pretty much having to tip toe through the whole topic in an early-morning radio interview as neither plan makes sense for a long-term funding goal or even a short-term public transit plan. Cote, speaking from the Mayors’ Council, seemed almost dumbfounded by the situation. As an NDP supporter, he dodged flatly decrying the NDP’s plan to scrap
tolls entirely. But he did say there was no way the Mayors’ Council could reconcile cutting tolls and reaching Metro Vancouver’s transportation goals. The Metro mayors have been asking for a new tolling policy for regional bridges – not a plan to eliminate them.The bridges are already running a deficit – with tolls being charged. Cote is in a bit of a pickle. He cares deeply about
the environmental impact of more traffic on the roads, and has worked tirelessly to try and help build a model of rational public policy on regional transit issues. And then his party of choice throws a big tire wrench into the whole mess. It has to be discouraging. And, of course, nobody in any party is going to actually come out and say how a lack of tolls will impact the entire funding situ-
ation. All they’ll say is they will work with the Mayors’ Council and make it work. Right. As one of the New West twitter folk, Matt Lorenzi, tweeted this past week: “By the time election day rolls around we will be promised unlimited free bridge crossings, free gas as we make our way to free B.C. Ferry crossing ...” And a free mocha latte while we’re waiting ...
MY VIEW ROBERT TOTH
Heritage is a prime city asset I have been a member of the Queen’s Park neighborhood heritage study working group since its 2014 inception.The motivation to deter the further loss of valued heritage properties comes from a pure desire to retain our community’s distinguishing characteristics for future generations. Active political measures must be taken to combat the development pressures facing much of the Lower Mainland. At stake now are homes which embody Queen’s Park and the broader city’s history and legacy.This rich fabric is at risk of becoming landfill only to be replaced by often unthoughtful houses that are unlikely to last even a quarter as long as the homes which they replaced. As property owners who support the heritage conservation area, we also do not want measures being taken that might negatively impact our property values. We have consulted countless North American studies which demonstrate that conservation areas do not impact property values negatively; in fact, they help keep values buoyant through periods of market correction and dips. We also do not want measures that unduly restrict our development rights.The proposed measures only involve the front and sides of the home’s exterior.The measures are in place to ensure construction is complimentary to the existing neighbourhood fabric to everyone’s mutual benefit. The structure of a conser-
vation area necessitates that it cast a wide net. However, if a homeowner believes their property is not worthy of such protection they may apply to be exempted. Does this imply more red tape?Yes.The message we need to send the real estate and development community is that it is not businessas-usual in Queen’s Park. The tear-it-down and slapit-up cycle is not acceptable here. We’ve heard newcomers to Queen’s Park expressing their desire to move here because they love the old homes and large beautiful trees. But then they proceed to demolish their older home and cut down their trees.This one-sided appreciation for Queen’s Park’s distinguishing characteristics is unsustainable. As property owners within this small corner of the city, we must all be in it together if this historical and esthetic gem is to survive into the next generations. Our group’s hope is that the work down here can be exported to other parts of NewWestminster where many other heritage assets exist. In Richmond, agricultural land is one of their prime assets. Just the other week, Richmond city council placed a moratorium preventing massive houses from being built on agriculturally zoned land in order to protect this asset. In New Westminster, heritage is our asset, and it needs to be proactively protected. Robert Toth is a Queen’s Park resident.

No extravagance here There would be no more free lunches from the New Westminster school district.Trustees passed a motion at a meeting in April to reimburse only necessary and reasonable expenditures – the policy would apply to trustees, administrators and all other staff groups. “We’re not an extravagant board by any means,” said Trustee Michael Ewen, adding the district has never had a problem with over spending on travel, meals or hotels. In the last 10 years, district admin had gone on three trips.

An exploration of ‘alternative facts’
Why live here if you don’t like tradition? Since you asked …
Dear Editor: Re: If you’re on the attack, check your facts first, Inbox, The Record, April 6. Your “Let me assure you” response to my letter reads more like a U.S.A.’s Kelly-Anne Conway reply complete with “alternate facts.” First, as a gay man who has been partnered for 40 years and who has lived through real periods of legal bullying, persecution, inequality and discrimination, I can assure you there is a significant difference between the Liberals and the Conservatives. Conservative candidates in New West literally delivered flyers door to door against gay marriage and rights, have been past adversaries to the women’s rights movement and the list goes on. So let me assure you – there is a difference. As for your adamant refusal to acknowledge any link between the NDP and the New Westminster and District Labour Council (DLC), you apparently missed the entire 2014 B.C. Federation of Labour convention. Mr. Lundy, at the 56th B.C. Fed Convention in 2014, on page 162 under the heading Political Action, it states: “NDP Leadership: The Federation is proudly affiliated to the NDP and devotes considerable energy on working to build the Party toward the goal of securing an NDP Government.” (2). Further on page 163, under Municipal Election, it states: “The Federation works closely with the Canadian Labour Congress, labour councils, affiliate unions and local activist to put forward a full effort to elect strong labour-endorsed candidates to local government, including school boards and regional districts.”(3). Then a financial link is made in the minutes for the BCFED, PSAC and the DLC in the August financials of 2013 (4). Let me assure you – there is a clear link between the NDP and DLC. To further make this connection clear, people in New Westminster know that MP Peter Julian, MLA Judy Darcy, trustee Jonina Campbell or any of our esteemed city council wouldn’t be where they are now and wouldn’t have been permitted to run under the NDP banner unless they had been interviewed, vetted and approved by the District Labour Council. The relationship is clear, has always been clear and, in New West, people are abundantly clear of the affiliation. Thank you for confirming the real fact that Darcy, in her past, was a member and candidate for the Worker’s Communist Party of Canada. Let me assure you that it wouldn’t be an issue to me and others if, like her comrade in the WCP, separatist and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe, who called his membership a “mistake,” Darcy publicly acknowledged she too had made a mistake. Last, me running for politics. If I could get the provincial, federal and municipal NDP/DLC phone bank access like all the NDP/DLC candidates have done in past elections, I might consider it. Meanwhile, many in New West will remember my partner James Crosty’s run for mayor of the city and as an independent in the last provincial election. As his communication/ marketing manager – and the same to several other candidates – I have done what I can to “make a change.” While my changes were unsuccessful, at least I tried. Let me assure you that I do believe in change and will welcome any opportunity to make change happen in the May election. Paul R. Thompson, New West
ARE YOU TIRED OF ALWAYS FEELING BLOATED?
Brad Cavanagh If The Record were around 150 years ago I’m sure we would get letters like this from the Qayqayt nation from all the white people coming in and taking over. They were here first, the letter writer’s family are relative newcomers! But let’s face it, heritage only counts when it’s white English upper-class heritage, right? Mike Folka This letter seems like it’s one step away from suggesting we screen people for “New Westminster Values” before letting them move to our city. ;-) Kathy Gifford I believe all traditions are meaningful and should be treasured. Those of us who grew up in New Westminster and participated in these traditions valued them, then and now. They united us as a community. Mike Folka Hmmm. I grew up here and can’t say I have any connection to May Day or any strong opinion on its traditions. That being said it sure feels like this tradition, and this letter in particular, has been more divisive than it is uniting. My humble opinion is that if the goal is to get people like me (indifferent, etc) to support your point of view, that letters like this, and the tone it takes, are probably not the most productive way of going about it. Nor are they a good way of uniting us as a community. And I say all of that with all due respect of course. =-)

City Queensborough candidates take on Q2Q bridge plan
Continued from page 1 party, and Kay Hale, candidate for the B.C. Conservatives.They all took part in the hour-and-a-half debate held at the Queensborough Community Centre. (There is also a New Republican Party candidate registered, Lawrence Chen, but he was not at the meeting.) “It was really (about) trying to cover what is relevant to Queensborough,” said Laurie Moore, president of the Queensborough Residents’ Association. “It’s a new riding and, it being incorporated into Richmond, my worry is that whoever gets in, we’re going to end up being the poor cousin.” Contenders did their best to prove this wasn’t true. On the subject of transportation, Singh proposed reviving the Q2Q pedestrian bridge plan to connect the two parts of NewWest. “If that bridge were put
into place, it would take about 10 minutes to walk to the other side to take the SkyTrain,” he said. “Those are the kinds of plans that work for the future.We need to start moving towards a society that doesn’t encourage more cars.” The pedestrian/cyclist crossing from Queensborough to the Quay was estimated to cost $39.1 million, according to a report prepared by SNC Lavalin. The project was quashed – for now – because the costs were considered too high and above the city’s available resources. Johal, meanwhile, suggested a passenger ferry would be a viable alternative to the pedestrian bridge. It would operate at certain times during the day and connect ’Boro residents to downtown. “TransLink puts in money, we (the province) put
in money, we get an independent operator, and the city puts in money,” he told residents. “I want to hear more about this from all of you today in regards to if that could be something we could look at instead of a $40-million bridge and all the costs that go to keep that running.” A passenger ferry from Queensborough to the Quay has been under consider-
ation by the City of New Westminster. In January, Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer, said staff was investigating what land improvements would be needed on both sides to operate a ferry. Another hot-button issue was a bus service for Queensborough students who attend NewWestminster Secondary School. Both Johal and Singh brought up
the service and possible involvement from the provincial government. As it stands, the district does not provide transportation for its Queensborough students to NWSS. A recent report by the school district revealed a large subsidy would be required to make it affordable for families. “On the whole I think it was a pretty good night,” Moore said after the meet-
ing. “I would have liked to see a bigger turnout.” When asked what he’d like to see over the next month from his fellow Queensborough residents, he said all he wants is to see them vote. “It’s kind of cliché,” he chuckled. “If you didn’t vote, then I don’t see that you’ve really taken any responsibility to be able to complain.”

Welcome to
App makes parking easier Drivers won’t need to scramble for change when they’re parking in New Westminster anymore. The City of New Westminster has launched the new Passport Canada app, which aims to make parking easier by allowing people to pay, monitor and extend parking from their phones. With the Passport Canada app, users can avoid walking to the meter and can track their remaining parking time. “The launch of Pass-
port Canada is consistent with our goal of becoming a Smart City that uses technology to improve customer service,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a press release. “Our customers have been requesting a mobile parking app for some time, and we’re confident that Passport will provide them with a more convenient parking experience in our city.” The new Passport Canada app is now available at all of the city’s 1,900 paid parking spaces, both on-
and off-street. Users can use the new app when parking in the Downtown, Uptown, Sapperton and 12th Street neighbourhoods, as well as the Front Street parkade and the parkade at Anvil Centre. According to the city, the parking app is powered by leading global parking app provider, Passport. Passport Canada is free to download from the App Store and Android Google Play. – Theresa McManus

Candidates back party stances Continued from page 5 we’re going to be able to move forward with that project.” The mayor said a wider discussion with the provincial government about transportation funding is needed. Lorraine Brett, who is running in NewWestminster for the B. C. Liberals, said her party will continue to work with the mayors and
support the 10-year plan. “When you’ve got more people out of their cars travelling on transit systems, NewWestminster wins,” she said. Judy Darcy, the NDP incumbent in NewWestminster, said the province currently has a “patchwork system” of tolling and the current Liberal government’s strategy is not working.
“Instead of attacking the mayors the way the premier has, [Horgan] says as premier he would work closely with the mayors in order to develop a plan for the long term that reduces congestion,” Darcy said. In response to concerns that removing tolls would impact future transit projects, Darcy said “I don’t see a contradiction.”

A closer look/The unbreakable Susie Chew: Part 1
‘I decided to start a little restaurant’ The woman who launched one of the city’s most popular eating spots also triggers a national news story
T
his is not the Waffle House Susan Chew left behind when she moved from New Westminster to Toronto more than 50 years ago. The restaurant has moved two times and passed out of the family altogether since she first opened it as a small cafe in 1955 on the corner of Sixth and Sixth. Today, though, on Jan. 29, its newest iteration at 636 Sixth St. is packed with familiar faces. Chew’s youngest sister, Grace Yip, has surprised her with a party for her 90th birthday and booked the whole restaurant for the occasion. As Chew makes her entrance, someone places a wreath of orchids on her head (a nod to her years as a professional hula dancer); Mayor Jonathan Cote is on hand with flowers, and current Waffle House proprietor Robert Babayan poses with Chew in front of a big black-and-white photo of a much younger Chew working the Waffle House irons in the 1950s. To one person in the crowd, that version of Chew 60 years ago would have been a familiar sight back in the day. Continued on page 11

Exclusive/By Cornelia Naylor
LIFE AND TIMES Above, Susan Chew joins the bridal party at her roommate Verla Staples’s wedding to New Westminster native Cal Thompson. Above right, Chew is featured in a 1952 Columbian newspaper article about an armed robbery at her uptown convenience store, the Handy Fruit Mart. Below, at her Vancouver apartment, Chew flips through news clippings of her time in New West. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR Continued from page 10 Verla Thompson (née Staples) was a waitress at the Waffle House then and Chew’s roommate in 1956. It would be a hard year to forget. In the course of trying to find an apartment, the pair had sparked a national news story of racial discrimination that would show the Royal City at its worst – and best.
The Waffle House
Born in Victoria, the eighth of 11 kids, Chew grew up working with her siblings on her immigrant parents’ Saanich farm. “We worked like men,” Chew tells me during a visit to her Vancouver apartment a few days after her surprise party. When an appendectomy made her unfit for the work, she moved to New Westminster at age 20 to help in her sister Alice’s grocery store, the Handy Fruit Mart, on the corner of Sixth and Sixth. She took over the place in 1946 and was eyeing new opportunities when a space opened up next door in 1955. “I decided to start a little restaurant,” she says, “and I called it the Waffle House, and I specialized in waffles.” Was it normal in the late 1940s – before the women’s rights movement of the 1960s or the repeal of Canada’s infamous Chinese Exclusion Act – for a young, single, Chinese-Canadian woman to launch her own independent business ventures? “No, that was just Susie,” her sister had told me with a laugh earlier. “She did all these kind of things that regular people didn’t have the initiative to do.” “I guess I was born with a lot of confidence in myself,” Chew says. If there were people in New Westminster in the 1940s and ’50s who thought being Chinese-Canadian should have limited her role in the community, their feelings hadn’t yet registered with Chew. Even before opening the Waffle House, Chew had organized fundraising efforts
for victims of the catastrophic 1948 Fraser River flood; she was a Cubmaster at Holy Trinity church, belonged to skating and tennis clubs, modelled in fashion shows and studied music. The Waffle House, meanwhile, became a popular hangout for both young people and reporters in the 1950s, when the Columbian newspaper published daily in New West and CKNW still broadcast from the Royal City. “They were regular customers,” Chew says of the media back in the day, “We were all pals.” As a well-known local personality, Chew says she provided them with plenty of material, like the time she was robbed at gunpoint at the Handy Fruit Mart while her dog, Satan looked uselessly on. “The Columbian covered me beautifully,” Chew says, “Every excuse they could get, they would be there with their photographer. I guess I was kind of a colourful character in New Westminster.”
The Bermuda House
When Chew and Thompson decided to find a place together, it was only natural their friends in the press would be invited to the housewarming party. Finding a place, though, turned out to be not so easy. “They would have signs on the window,” Chew says of the first few apartments the pair checked out. “We would knock on the door and see if we could rent. And they’d say, ‘Oh, it’s gone.’ ‘Oh
yeah, it’s rented.’We didn’t realize that we were turned down for discrimination when they saw that I was Chinese.” Finally, in March 1956, they landed a bachelor suite at a “swanky” new apartment block that had just gone up at 1303 Eighth Ave. – the Bermuda House. (The building, renamed Hillcrest, still stands today, with balconies painted mintgreen.) With the deposit paid, the two women ordered furniture from Eaton’s, and on March 17 Chew hopped into her ’52 Pontiac Catalina and drove to the Bermuda to see if it had been delivered. It had all right, but the building’s manager, John McIlroy had sent it back. She couldn’t move in after all, he told her then, because she was Chinese. What she felt wasn’t anger but searing shame.
“I thought of crawling into a dark cellar, into a hole,” she said. “That’s what came to my mind when I was driving home.” Like Henny Penny, she said, it seemed to her like the sky was falling. In a parting blow before she left, McIlroy had advised her to keep quiet about the whole thing since it wasn’t likely she’d get much support from other people in town. It would take only a matter of days before he – and everyone else in New Westminster – found out just how wrong he was.
Next week: In part two of The unbreakable Susie Chew, the Waffle House founder’s plight becomes a national news story.

PUBLIC HEARING
6:00PM
6:00 pm on April 24, 2017 in Council Chamber City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7907, 2017 1002, 1012, 1016 AND 1020 AUCKLAND STREET PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An application has been received to rezone the site (outlined in bold on the adjacent map) to allow an 88 unit residential project. The project consists of a six storey apartment building with 75 units. The building is located toward the high side of the site so that the front door to the apartment building is level with the sidewalk at the mid-point of the Auckland Street frontage. On the low side of the site on Quebec Street are 13 townhome units.
Truth: The good news is that there are many steps you can take to start walking, such as parking or getting off transit farther away from your office or home and walking the rest of the way. For more information, please visit the Walking Mythbusters document on the City of New Westminster website: www.newwestcity.ca/walking
LANEWAY HOUSE ONE-ON-ONE INFORMATION SESSION Interested in Building a Laneway House on Your Property? City staff are available for 15-minute, one-on-one, appointments to discuss how the laneway and carriage house design guidelines and zoning regulations would apply on your property. Staff would not be able to give definitive answers about what can or cannot be built, but they would be able to raise concerns or opportunities based on the site size and shape of your property, and the placement of the existing house. Information Session Meetings will be held at City Hall, downstairs in the Planning Department Wednesday, April 26 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm To book your spot, contact Janet at 604-515-3767 or ourcity@newwestcity.ca
WHAT IS BYLAW 7907, 2017 ABOUT? The site is currently zoned Light Industrial Mixed Use Districts (M-5). The purpose of the M-5 zone is to allow light industrial and service oriented commercial uses which may otherwise be inappropriate in a general commercial zone, but are suitable to be located adjacent to residential uses. A rezoning to the Comprehensive Development Districts (1002 Auckland Street Street) (CD – 69) is required in order to allow the project to proceed.
Note: City staff will not be reviewing house plans or approving permits. Laneway and carriage houses are not yet permitted uses in the city. Formal approval by Council is still required. Staff anticipate presenting the required bylaws to Council in the summer. For more information on the OUR CITY 2041 process visit our website: www.newwestcity.ca/ourcity
HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Division at City Hall 10 business days prior to the Public Hearing, April 6, 2017 to April 24, 2017.

Big dreams for Big Star Sandwich Co. Second location for popular NewWestminster-based eatery opens on CanadaWay in Burnaby Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
The Grewal brothers’ journey to franchise ownership started with a sandwich. The first time Avee and Gary Grewal bit into a Big Star sandwich, they were hooked. In October, the pair opened the second Big Star Sandwich Company location in Burnaby. The New Westminsterbased eatery prides itself in being the place to go for a hearty, “blue-collar” sandwich.They prepare all their meat in-house to offer customers an alternative to sandwich chains like Subway. “If you think about chain restaurants out there, there’s a ton of burgers, there’s even chicken, pizza, there’s a lot of everything, but there’s not a lot of sandwiches. So you have Subway everywhere,” said Alex Johrden, director of operations. Johrden likes to think of Big Star as the anti-Subway, making sandwiches for the working man, he said. Started by Clint Bondzuk and Julie Rule, Big Star Sandwich Company opened its first shop on 12th Street in 2013.Three years later, it moved to its current location at 664 Columbia St. Johrden, who was the first-ever employee, said franchising had always been in the cards for Big Star – and who better to open its first franchised location than a pair of die-hard fans. Avee and Gary, who live in New Westminster, have been eating at Big Star Sandwich Co. since Day 1, and before they knew it,
Looking to the future: Avee Grewal, franchise owner of Big Star Sandwich Co., and Arjan Gill, the Burnaby location’s manager, outside the sandwich shop on Canada Way. Grewal has been a Big Star customer since it opened in New Westminster in 2013. In October, Grewal opened the first Big Star franchise location. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
they were picking up sandwiches four to five times a week. “We were like, ‘You know, we’re putting so much money into Clint and Julie’s pocket, might as well open our own,’” Avee said. “They never wanted to run it; they just wanted free sandwiches,” Johrden joked. Whether that’s true or not, since opening at 3736 Canada Way in Burnaby in
October, profits have been rising steadily as more and more customers discover the new shop, Avee said. “There was not much food going on there and tons of businesses, and when we went there and asked around, everyone said the same thing, ‘We want more food.’There wasn’t really a choice.There was Subway there and Wendy’s, and it’s been like that for

last I don’t know how many years,” he said. According to Johrden, Avee and Gary were the perfect candidates to take on the first franchise.They were customers first, so they knew the product well, and that’s important for the brand, Johrden said. “We’re very selective of the people who we would like to be franchisees,” he added.
“Like Gary and Avee here, they were original customers; they really understand what we’re trying to do here.” And it’s been fun so far, Avee said. The 25-year-old handles most of the day-to-day operations of the Burnaby location. Most days he’s there until 8 or 9 p.m. to make sure everything runs smoothly.There have been

Spring Into Action with #WALKNEWWEST
City OKs new signs for college Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Douglas College wants to modernize signage at its NewWest campus to make it easier to find. Chris Gardner, director of facilities and ancillary services at Douglas College, said Douglas’s existing signage is “obsolete and unattractive” and the college hopes to replace it with a simple, attractive sign. “It will be much more visible to passing vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic as well.The proposed sign is in scale with the sizes of the buildings,” he told council. “We do believe that this change will improve the esthetics of Eighth and Royal, enhance the visibility of Douglas College in the community and improve wayfinding for visitors.” The city received letters from a number of area residents who opposed the college’s request for a variance to the sign bylaw so it could
erect a 9.3-metre-long by three-metre-tall sign on the brick wall on the side of the college facing Eighth Street, just south of Royal Avenue. “To have this enormous sign to tell people there is a college is ridiculous. Anybody that wants to go to the Douglas College knows where the place is,” said Todd Davis in a letter to the city. “We don’t need more industrialization …We already deal with ridiculous semi-trucks, daily, blasting their horns daily, air brakes at all hours. Give us some kind of peace, we are getting fed up.” Council approved the variance request. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said letters the city received weren’t really about the proposed sign but about increased traffic and distractions along Royal Avenue. “I think it was a statement of concern about traffic on Royal, which hopefully we will deal with at another time.”

SPOTLIGHT ON
BOOZE IN THE CITY WHAT’S HAPPENING? The New Westminster Museum and Archives is opening a new exhibition this fall on drinking in the Royal City and is hoping to interview people who have stories about local watering holes, breweries, distilleries and coffee and tea shops. Interviews will be conducted this spring and early summer. WHO SHOULD GET INVOLVED? If you worked at Labatt’s, participated in the grape stomp in Queensborough, worked at the King Edward Hotel bar, the Pacific Café, the Russell, the Dunsmuir or the Windsor, participated in “snake parades” or have stories about drinking in New West bars (museum staff have already heard a few stories about underage drinkers coming from across the Lower Mainland to drink at local bars), the museum would like to hear from you. Interviews are also being
sought with people who have stories about making and drinking alcohol or other beverages in New Westminster. IS THE MUSEUM ONLY INTERESTED IN BOOZY STORIES? No. Museum staff are also interested in hearing stories from people who worked or know anything about the city’s teashops (the Gingham Tea Shop, the Mecca Tea Room, the Piccolo Tea House, bubble tea places), can talk about Ice Cream Row or soda fountains in New Westminster, worked at Ziada Eritrean Restaurant or know anything about the Bohemian Orpheus teen coffeehouse. IS ANYTHING ELSE NEEDED FOR THE EXHIBIT? The New Westminster Museum and Archives also welcomes “drinking culture items” for the exhibit. Any New Westminster-related items offered for donation
HOW DO I SHARE MY STORIES? Contact Oana Capota, curator for the New Westminster Museum at 604-515-3842 or ocapota@ newwestcity.ca.

Admission is by donation. The current exhibition, Witness Blanket, runs until April 21.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY April 13, 2017 21
APRIL IS... NATIONAL ORAL HEALTH MONTH HOW TO ENCOURAGE KIDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR TEETH Parents of young children know that getting kids to brush their teeth can sometimes feel like pulling teeth. Kids have a long history of disliking dental care, which can frustrate parents who know the importance and long-lasting benefits of proper dental hygiene. While many youngsters may never excitedly run to the bathroom to brush their teeth, parents can try various approaches to get kids to embrace proper dental care. 1. Start early: Parents should not hesitate to begin cleaning kids’ teeth once the first tooth appears. The earlier dental care is part of a child’s routine, the more likely he or she is to accept it as part of everyday life. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using a soft-bristled brush with a small head. Ideally, use a toothbrush designed for infants, brushing teeth once per day at bedtime. The AAPD advises taking kids to visit a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than the child’s first birthday.
SMILE BIG FOR A GOOD CAUSE! NATIONAL ORAL HEALTH MONTH
2. Make it a group effort: Young children love to imitate their parents’ actions and behaviors, and moms and dads can use that adoration to their advantage when trying to get kids to brush their teeth. Brush teeth together as a family, making it seem like an enjoyable twice-daily activity. Get down on kids’ level and show them how to brush. If kids are resistant, engage them in conversation while brushing so they don’t even realize they’re cleaning away.

PREVENTION IS KEY!
DECREASE
3. Involve kids in choosing their dental care products: While parents should be mindful of the type of toothbrush their children use, always sticking with products recommended by their child’s pediatric dentist, let youngsters choose their toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids might prefer a particular flavor of toothpaste, and a colorful toothbrush with a favorite film or television character might make kids more enthusiastic and less fussy about brushing. 4. Compliment kids after positive dental appointments: When pediatric dentist appointments go well, compliment children and express your pride in them for taking dental hygiene as seriously as they do.

Council divided on grant to Rivershed Society due opposed. Trentadue said the city needs to stand by the process that’s in place and support the recommendations of grant committees that have been established to review grant applications. “The city was asked for a lot of funding this year.We were not able to meet the funding for everyone,” she said. “There were many applications that got nothing. … I can’t help but think of all the organizations that did not achieve their funding and have just been satisfied with the process.” Cote also expressed concern about considering an appeal outside of the grant process. “There were a number of other grant applicants that did not receive their grant funding and here I am being asked to consider one without looking at all of the other applicants that did not receive their grant funding,” he said. “I do not think that is fair.”

NewWestminster city council is divided on how to handle a grant to the Rivershed Society of B.C. The advisory committee that initially reviewed the grant application recommended the grant request be denied because its proposed events didn’t appear to meet the city’s criteria based on the type of event planned and the fact that the organization isn’t located in NewWest.While council initially approved the committee’s recommendations, it reconsidered the grant on March 27 and voted 4-3 in support of a $5,000 grant so the society can host its Sustainable Living Leadership Program and annual general meeting in NewWest. “The grant would ensure these two events are accessible to those in NewWestminster, would help offset costs allowing participants to attend at no charge and
to assist a local, small business in NewWestminster,” said Fin Donnelly, the society’s chair and founder, in an appeal letter to council. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the organization does incredible work regarding the Fraser River. He said the event is more than an annual general meeting. Coun. Bill Harper said council should have a discussion about these types of requests and about funds for annual general meetings before the next granting season so everyone is playing by the same rules. “This council has to make up its mind about what way it wants to go,” he said. “I am going to vote in favour of this because I like this program, I think it’s really important.” Councillors Harper, Puchmayr, Jaimie McEvoy and LorrieWilliams supported the grant request, but Mayor Jonathan Cote and councillors Patrick Johnstone and Mary Trenta-

Get out your calendars, folks, there are two fundraisers for New Westminster Secondary School’s dry grad planned in the coming months. The first is on Saturday, April 22 from 6 to 10 p.m.There is a pub night at the Castle Neighbourhood Grill, 319 Governor’s Ct. Tickets are $20 and you get a burger, fries and a drink. There will also be a 50/50 draw, a toonie toss and more than $5,000 worth of silent auction items to bid on. This event is for adults only. On Saturday, June 3 the dry grad committee and Key West Ford are teaming up for a Drive One 4UR School fundraiser at New Westminster Secondary School. Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. folks can take a test drive in one of six Ford vehicles that will be available on site, including a Ford Mustang. For every test drive, Key West Ford will donate $20 to the dry grad committee.Test drives are open to drivers with either an N or class 5 licence. The event also includes a by-donation car wash, so you can have your ride washed while you’re out on your test drive.The students will be set up in the parking lot at Eighth Street and 10th Avenue. Money raised at both events will go towards the high school’s dry grad event.The party is meant to give students an alternative to celebrations that include alcohol. “We really try hard to make this event great for the kids, so they stay away from house parties with drinking and potential problems,” Petrina Bosiak wrote in an email to the Record.

Poetry fans, don’t miss out on the next Poetic Justice reading session. It’s set for Easter Sunday, April 16 at 11:30 a.m. at Boston Pizza in Columbia Square. The gathering will celebrate National Poetry Month with presentations from two longtime B.C. poets, Penn Kemp and Sharon Thesen – both of whom were a huge part of the Lower Mainland writing scene in the 1970s and ’80s and who have continued to write for the decades since. Kemp has published more than 30 books and has had six of her plays produced, and she became the city of London, Ont.’s first poet laureate in 2010. Thesen, a professor emeritus of creative writing at UBC Okanagan, has published nine books of poetry and has been a three-time finalist for the GovernorGeneral’s Award. Check out www.poetic

Golden will be familiar to local audiences – she has also performed right here at home in the Vagabond Players productions of The O’Conner Girls and Other Desert Cities.

Tickets are $15 in advance online, or $20 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. for an 8 p.m. show. Buy tickets through www. eventbrite.ca – search for Laughter Zone 101.

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

Are there any guidelines to writing Wedding Vows?
Writing your own wedding vows can truly express why you are marrying this most amazing person. There are no hard and fast rules. Some couples want REV. DR. JAYNE GIBSON them to stay secret, and some do not. Have plenty of discussion with your wedding partner. This seems simple enough but can be a real eye opener. With these guidelines, you will be brilliant! 1) You can both say the same vows (or not). 2) What are your “Must have” and “Must NOT have” words? 3) Length and number of lines (no less than 4 lines; no more than 2 minutes). 4) Your guests need to understand your vows and sentiments. 5) Practice your Vows out loud!

NURSE NEXT DOOR HOME CARE SERVICES Have fun in the sun… Traveling seniors urged to take care
As the seasons change, and we enter our colder winter months, many seniors decide to escape to a hotspot. Some seniors, known as ‘snowbirds,’ will spend their entire winter in a tropical destination, but many more will try to spend at least a week taking in some sun and fun. While a sunny vacation is definitely a fantastic treat, it is important to plan carefully to avoid some common problems. With seniors accounting for approximately 14.5% of BC residents, travel safety is particularly important. A trip to a sunny destination can be a great experience but our seniors really should take care when traveling. Here are a few tips for ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip: 1. Know your destination It is important to understand your vacation destination as some of the differences can really create a problem. Before you go study your destination’s climate, elevation, humidity, native or epidemic diseases, water quality and availability of medical services. Having this information will help minimize some troubling surprises. 2. Medical precautions Before you travel, be sure to speak with a travel agent or the local consulate about what vaccinations you need. Be sure to get any vaccinations well in advance in case of reaction. On top of vaccinations, ensure that you have enough prescriptions to last you the trip and a little beyond in case of any delays. 3. Jet lag Most of us can deal with a three-zone time change without feeling too jet lagged, however, make sure to do what you can to prepare yourself. For a few days before, if traveling west, go to bed a few hours later than normal. If traveling east, go to bed a few hours earlier. Be sure to eat lightly on departure day, drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol. 4. Health insurance Be sure that you have the appropriate medical coverage for your stay. If that means purchasing travel insurance, be sure to do so. The last thing anyone needs on a trip is to be stuck with costly medical bills. Plan ahead and be sure to have the right coverage.
Q A
How can I Age in Place successfully?
A recent survey showed that most Canadians want to remain in their homes after retirement. The following questions are some things to consider: CORINA STAINSBY 1. Could you live on the main floor of your home if you had to? Can your home be adapted with wider doorways, grab bars, and levered door handles for safety? 2. Do you have easy access to transportation and services such as medical and dental care, grocery stores and pharmacies? Can you continue to maintain your house and yard? Are friends and family nearby? Should you conclude that remaining in your home is the right choice for you, it’s a good idea to start making changes to your home earlier rather than later so you can spread the cost out over time.

Can you get ‘burnout’ from caring for a loved one?
It is straining and stressful for adult children to provide comprehensive daily care to their elderly parents when one or both of their parents are not able to look after themselves anymore. It’s WENDY J SCOTT usually the daughter caring for RN, BScN, MA her elderly mother. The caregiver (the daughter in this case) can become mentally and physically exhausted, irritable and resentful. Of course the primary benefits of Home Care services are that someone caring for their elderly parents can avoid physical and mental burnout, ease or remove their guilt, and spend actual family time with their parent. I was reading a very informative article about ‘Caregiver burnout’ last week and noted that all of the same signs and tips around caregiver burnout were the same as what someone may experience with any type of burnout.

Q A
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.

Community A BATTALION REVIEW
Remembering Vimy Ridge The Royal Westminster Regiment gathered in Queen’s Park on Sunday to commemorate one of the most significant battles in Canadian military history. While folks from around the world travelled to France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, community members joined the Royal Westminster Regiment, affiliated cadets and the regimental association in Sunday’s ceremonial battalion review at the Queen’s Park Stadium. The event began with the Royal Westminster Regiment marching onto the parade ground, followed by an inspection by the reviewing officer – the Honourable Judith Guichon, the lieutenant-governor of British Columbia – a march past and speeches to commemorate the Battle of Vimy Ridge by the commanding officer and lieutenant governor. The Regimental Band provided music at the event. Col. Karen Baker-MacGrotty, honorary colonel of the Royal Westminster Regiment, said that following the parade in Queen’s Park, the Royal Westminster Regiment “exercised its Freedom of the City” of New Westminster, which was granted in 1963, by marching back to its Armoury with drums beating, colours flying and bayonets fixed. She said the last time the regiment exercised the freedom of the city was in 2013
during its 150th anniversary year. “The regiment’s parade was a wonderful commemoration to honour those who fought so valiantly at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice,” she said in an email to the Record. “It is also important to remember these pivotal moments in Canadian history. I was very pleased to see so many community members attending the commemoration.” – ByTheresa McManus

At the library, we believe the unlimited variety of available stories should reflect the diversity of human beings. Representation of cultures, gender, orientation, disabilities, illnesses and experiences are essential. Here is a selection to broaden your reading. Humans of NewYork: Stories by Brandon Stanton is a new compilation of the moving dialogue the author has had with NewYorkers, based on the immensely popular blog of interviews and photographs of people on the streets of NewYork. Capturing struggles and victories from every walk of life, these intriguing stories are paired with stunning
photographs, making for an unforgettable reading experience. For a powerful aboriginal story dealing with discrimination, identity and belonging, try Bearskin Diary by Carol Daniels. Between the 1960s and 1980s, the Canadian government took aboriginal babies from their mothers and placed them in foster care.This moving novel draws heavily from the author’s own experiences of being swept up in the Sixties Scoop. For heartfelt and lyrical novels about the immigrant experience and the pursuit of the American dream, try Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue.This is a story of a Cameroonian immigrant living in Harlem who lands a job as a chauffeur
We’re Here To Help
for someone in the top one per cent – and how their lives become entangled during the 2008 financial crisis. Or try The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, whose elegant prose tells the story of a family from India attempting to make new lives for themselves in America. The Hollywood adaptation is also in the library’s collection. Finally, if you are in the mood for humour and insight, try Shrill: Notes from a LoudWoman by Lindy West: a charming collection of personal stories challenging the ideas people have about our bodies, sexuality and self-acceptance.

Community OUR PAST
Markets have long been a part of city’s daily life Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Locations in New Westminster that have served as the site of the city’s market throughout this community’s history all have interesting stories to tell.The present market has had a somewhat difficult winter season uptown due to some unusual weather, including cold and snow, but they have persevered. At the beginning of this city, the market did not have a formal site, but people gathered to sell their produce, meat, fish and other items from their labours in the general area or from the Fraser Valley. Sometimes these early markets were connected to stores in the growing town, and there was always interest in what was arriving by steamboats and wagons. One area of the city that has been associated with markets over many decades is at the foot of Church Street, right down on the waterfront.The Royal Engineers, in planning the town, designed a prominent and formal space here that was designated Lytton Square. On occasions in the early town, it was here that folks from out the valley or from the surrounding region’s local farms would bring in their agricultural bounties. It was in the 1890s that the city’s first formal City Market opened here with river and land access and a large open area in front to facilitate livestock shows, wagonloads of goods and crowds of people. In 1898, this first City Market
burned in the city’s Great Fire but was quickly rebuilt. In time, with changes taking place, Front Street and its traffic was intruding into the market’s space, so better facilities were eventually created in a new structure in the 1920s, still in the same Lytton Square area but facing onto Columbia Street. This building is still in existence but has gone through a few changes, including being a David Spencer store, an Eaton’s store, and now the Army and Navy store. Yes, it’s true, underneath the store we now see at the foot of Church Street on Columbia hides an early city market. In the 1940s, the market was popular, but its central downtown site was proving to be difficult as the city grew, traffic increased, and the market once more had
to move. A new site was developed near Royal Avenue at 11th Street facing onto Columbia.This market remained in business with loyal clientele until further change was brought about by the new waterfront plans and Westminster Quay. This is a very selective outline of the local market history with a number of things not included.To find out more, go to the New Westminster Historical Society on Wednesday, April 19, for a presentation on markets in the Royal City. It starts at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library, 716 Sixth Ave. According to the current market’s website, their next market is uptown on Belmont Street on April 15. Check it out and then attend the presentation.

QUEEN’S PARK HERITAGE CONSERVATION
Design guidelines set for homes and gardens Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Design guidelines developed as part of the creation of a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park could apply to homes and landscapes in the neighbourhood. As part of the process that’s underway to create a conservation area in Queen’s Park, city staff and a consulting team created design guidelines that aim to ensure new construction conforms to the existing neighbourhood character and maintains the integrity of the diverse streetscapes in the neighbourhood. Council endorsed, in principle, the structure and scope of draft design guidelines for the heritage conservation area so they could be taken out to the community for construction. “We are building on design principles that have already been accepted in terms of really encouraging an authentic representation of Queen’s Park and its character, but also principles of good design and landscape design,” said consultant Donald Luxton. “We have heard this over and over again – it’s not just the houses or the buildings
that make up the neighbourhood character, it’s a whole range of things that add up to create the character. One of those that’s really important is the interface of the public and private realm, the landscaping really helps define the character of the streetscape.” In terms of landscape, Luxton said the selection of materials should enhance the esthetics and heritage character of the neighbourhood and should promote landscape best practices. “There is not going to be in the guidelines a prescribed plant palate or style. It doesn’t have to be ‘English garden style, with here’s a list of plants,’” he said. “There is some flexibility here for individual expression.” On the home front, guidelines have been developed for heritage buildings, which are buildings that are formally protected or listed on the city’s heritage register, and other single-family homes in the neighbourhood. Britney Quail, the city’s heritage planning analyst, said Queen’s Park is unique in that a set of design guidelines already exists for the neighbourhood.Those guidelines were created in
1999 as part of the implementation of a historic district status for the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. “A historic district is recognition of the neighbourhood as having heritage value, but it’s not necessary legal protection like what a heritage conservation area would be,” she said. “The design guidelines that were created in 1999 were focused on new building only and were very much focused on one specific style, a Craftsman-style architecture.” Unlike the existing guidelines, the new guidelines won’t suggest that property owners follow any specific historical style of construction for new homes or changes to existing buildings in the neighbourhood. Instead, the guidelines will focus on ensuring homes are compatible with the existing streetscape. According to Quail, the proposed design guidelines don’t change the zoning, heights, setbacks or density that can be built, but address things like massing, scale and roofline so they’re sympathetic to the neighbouring buildings.

SOCCER SCHOOL REGISTRATION
WHAT IS IT? The New Westminster Police Department’s soccer school, now in its 37th year, is the highlight of many kids’ summers. While the purpose of the week-long day camp is soccer instruction, it also features presentations by the police canine unit, a fire-safety obstacle
course and a visit from the fire department. WHEN AND WHERE? This year’s soccer camp runs from Monday, July 17 to Friday, July 21, starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 1 p.m. each day. It takes place at the Queen’s Park Stadium, Third Avenue and First
Street. WHAT DO THE POLICE HAVE TO DO WITH IT? The camp is run by police officers. Last year’s event was organized by Sgt. Shari Gulliver, and each year there are a number of officers, like Const. Arloa Popke, who use their holiday time to volunteer at the camp. Popke hasn’t missed a camp in 25 years, she told the Record last year. “It’s important because we want the kids to realize they can come to us at any time,” she said.
“They can ask us for help. We’re approachable; we’re not just the people who go by in the uniform or the police vehicle and drive past them.” WHO CAN TAKE PART? The camp is open to kids five to 10 years old and has space for about 300 children. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? It costs $110 per child, but if you’ve got two kids it’s $210; three kids is $300; four kids is $390; and five kids is $480.
(Of course, the children must all be from the same family.) OK, SO HOW DO I REGISTER MY KID? Registration takes place Saturday, April 22 at 9 a.m. in the lobby of the New Westminster Police Department, 555 Columbia St. Be warned, this camp is crazy popular, so plan to be early because once it’s full, registration is over. Typically the spots fill up in a couple of hours, and there is no waitlist.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW? Be sure to bring your completed registration form, photo release and fee. You can download the forms here: tinyurl. com/SoccerSchool37.

Schultz blitzes to new Canadian track record Kansas State freshman clicks in first outdoor heptathlon meet of the season with six personal best marks
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
There’s no stopping Nina Schultz once she puts her mind to something. The New Westminster native demonstrated that neither elite competition nor a hotter spotlight can bump her off course.
Schultz posted the best score for women’s heptathlon at the Jim Click Combined Events in Tucson, Ariz., and established a new Canadian under-20 national record in the process. All this and a freshman, too. With the fourth-best point total in Kansas State
program history – 6,021 points over seven events – the 18-year-old continues to climb the charts, both at the NCAA and Canadian levels. “Overall, I think it was a pretty good meet,” said Schultz. “I had some sloppy events, but I was able to pick up the slack elsewhere. I am definitely still
in the process of transitioning from a long indoor season. In the end, though, I was happy to get over 6,000 points.” Her point total was the second-best mark in Div. 1 competition this season, behind Arkansas’s Taliyah Brooks’s 6,075, and the third-best score in the
world, with Erica Bougard’s 6,246 setting the standard. On the first day of competition, the New Westminster Secondary grad set three personal bests: in the 100-metre hurdles (13.83), the shot put (12.19m) and 200m dash (24.43). Schultz also cleared 1.75m in the high jump, winning the
event by 11 centimetres over her nearest rival. All told, she finished first in three of four events, and second in the shot put. On the second day, the personal bests kept coming as the New West Spartanstrained athlete finished the competition with new Continued on page 40
Youth spurs Hyacks to quick start NewWest rolls up three wins to start sr. girls soccer season Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
It’s been a very good start to the high school senior girls soccer season for the New Westminster Hyacks. The squad picked up its third win of the year, blanking a short-staffed Alpha Aztecs 6-0 on Tuesday. It came on the heels of a similar 6-1 dusting of the Cariboo Hill Chargers last week. With Alpha starting the game with just eight players, a 1-0 halftime score appeared flattering if not for the stellar work by the Burnaby netminder.The first goal was tallied by Jamie Butts, who converted a rebound after Grade 10 Nisa Reehal’s shot riccocheted off the post. In the second half it was all Hyacks, with goals by senior Jamie Lee, Grade 9 Christine Singh and two more by Reehal. Sharing the shutout were Ellery Hardy and Sophia Morris. Against Cariboo Hill, New West held a similar advantage, firing more than 30 shots towards the Chargers’ net. Only a heroic performance from the Cariboo goalkeeper kept the score respectable. New West’s Georgia Brydon, Abbey Flintoff, Grade 9 Sonia Sarai, Singh and Reehal, with two, rounded out the offence. The Hyacks began the season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Burnaby North Vikings last week. Although the Vikings struck first, New West responded quickly when Lee launched a forward rush right off the ensuing restart, threading the ball to Singh who fed Reehal. The quick-footed teen beat one defender and sidestepped the Burnaby goalkeeper to tie the game. With New West getting a pair of saves from netminder Emma Machuik, the offence pushed forward and got the game-winning goal when Brydon scored from the left side. Supplying strong defence through the game were Ellery Hardy, Brianne Lowka, Alysia Moysiuk and Lee.
On the ball: New Westminster native Josh Byrne motors in for another shot on goal during action last month for Hostra University. Byrne was named the Colonial Athletic Association’s Player of the Week for his four-goal game against Delaware on the weekend. PHOTO HOFSTRA ATHLETICS
Byrne continues to put up the points Hofstra University senior anchors attack as team rises in NCAA Div. 1 rankings
There is no single reason why the Hofstra University Pride are the last undefeated team in all NCAA Div. 1 men’s field lacrosse, but Josh Byrne certainly is a major contributor. A sniper with the Western Lacrosse Association’s Burnaby Lakers during the summer, Byrne continues to rip up the scoring charts in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA), helping his squad build a 10-0 case as the regular season nears a close and playoffs approach. The six-foot-three New Westminster native counted four goals and an assist to lead the Pride past Delaware 11-9, giving Byrne six games where he’s scored three or more goals this season. While one player in the CAA
has 32 goals, Byrne’s 29 over 10 games gives him a league-leading 2.90 average. It also earned him the CAA’s Men’s Lacrosse Player of the Week award for the second time this season. Coupled with a 15-game consecutive point streak, the senior attackman has 59 goals and 95 career points with Hofstra, since
joining the program in 2016. The Pride are pleased to sit second in the NCAA Div. 1 field lacrosse rankings, knowing there is room for improvement. Over the past seven weeks, the No. 1-ranked team followed up being named to the top spot with a loss. Six weeks ago, Byrne was named the CAA player of the
week. In his rookie season with the Lakers last year, he recorded eight goals and 21 assists in 11 games, and ramped it up in the playoffs by posting 10 goals and 14 assists in seven contests, as Burnaby pushed the Victoria Shamrocks to seven games in the semifinal.
Pattison grapples to medals at nats
Connor Pattison returned from last week’s Canadian cadet and juvenile wrestling championships with a pair of medals. The New Westminster Secondary student collected silver in the juvenile men’s 85-kilogram division, with the title decided in a 3-3 decision for Tejvir Boal of Mississauga, Ont. The Grade 12 wrestler also finished third overall in the 85kg Greco division, with a takedown of
Sunny Benning earning him the medal. New West’s Daniel Dordovec, meanwhile, earned silver in the men’s 130kg cadet division, falling to Jacob Ambroziak of Northern Pikes in a takedown at the 1:11 mark. Yanni Angelopoulos placed second in 115kg Greco, losing the final in a fall at 1:11 to Ikyot Randhawa.

A LOT GOES INTO YOUR WEBSITE
Jr. ’Bellies taking shape
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
There’s blind optimism – see Trevor Linden – and realistic optimism. The New Westminster junior A Salmonbellies fall squarely in the latter. The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League club has its feet planted on the ground when it sees a lot of opportunities opening up as a new season approaches. With one of the game’s most dynamic offensive stars on board, and a strong core of returnees, coach Todd Stockdale feels safe in putting high expectations on the year after last season’s third place finish.
“For sure, our goal is to win this year and get to a Minto Cup,” said Stockdale, in his second season behind the ’Bellies bench. “We have a lot of good talent and leaders, but you can never look too far in our league.There are too many good teams.” Beginning with Connor Robinson, the 2016 BCJLL scoring champ, and Jeremy Bosher, New West is loaded up front with talented sticks. Newcomers include Jayden Campbell and Chandler Bradley, both acquired from Delta, who like Robinson and Bosher, will likely miss the first five weeks of the regular season due to college commitments.
That provides a window for intermediate grads and aged players Nick Hannay, Erik Maas and Will Malcom to impress – and so far in camp they have. On defence, meanwhile, only one player graduated, and netminder Erik Kratz, with his .819 save percentage, sets the tone. “We know what each player brings to the table, so there’s a lot to be optimistic about,” added Stockdale. New West plays exhibition games this Saturday in Mission against PoCo, and Apr. 23 in Langley against the Thunder. They open the regular season on April 28 in PoCo.

Schultz tears up hep records Continued from page 39 marks in the long jump (6.04m), javelin (46.09m) and 800m (2:18.75). The 800m time was the seventh-fastest in program history, and provided her with the final points to power to a heptathlon title, 642 points ahead of her nearest rival. Shedding past bests like wet socks, Schultz shattered her own previous point total
of 5,639, which she set in Poland at the World junior championships a year ago. She also mothballed the old Canadian mark of 5,774, set by Nicole Oudenaarden in 2013, and now stands second in the u20 rankings. “I feel that (6,000 points) is a barrier that a lot of younger heptathletes aim to break. Being able to do that in my first heptathlon of the season is fulfilling,” said Schultz.
