A poll the candidates all relish
Liberals do some burger ballot plumping right before the NDP drops in for lunch By Theresa McManus

The accuracy of election polls may be questionable, but politicians are sinking their teeth into the (b)unofficial poll at Burger Heaven. NDP leader John Horgan dropped by the local eatery for lunch with New West candidate Judy Darcy on Monday afternoon.While the NDP held the lead in the local burger poll at that time, the Liberals tried to take a bite out of Horgan’s visit to Burger Heaven. “They tried to stack the vote,” said Chris Geib, the restaurant’s general manager. “They phoned in a whole schwackload of orders to go, just before the NDP crew came in.They had about eight or nine orders, there was probably about 110 Liberal burgers altogether. Since I’ve been here, that’s the first time that has ever happened.” While the majority of Horgan’s entourage dined on the NDP burger, a few ordered off the menu – but still got to cast a vote for the NDP. “They definitely closed the gap yesterday, that’s for sure,” Geib said of the Liberals. “When the NDP came in yesterday, Continued on page 8

PLANNING
A good deed takes root
Neighbours say no to townhouses By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
By Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
The community has stepped up to replace three trees chopped down by vandals at Lord Kelvin Elementary School. Two weeks ago, the school’s parent advisory council (PAC) put out a call asking for help replacing three trees that were cut down by vandals last summer.The response they got was overwhelming, according to PAC president Natalie Lawy. “It was very heartwarming,” she said. Mickey Bickerstaff, Bill Zander, Carly Mens and one anonymous donor gave the PAC a total of $370. And among the flurry of cash donations the PAC received were three new trees given by John Wynn, whose son Jonah is in Grade 3 at Lord Kelvin. Wynn owns Wynning Design Landscaping. He told the Record he’d planned on donating the trees when he first heard about the vandalism but was waiting for the weather to improve before dropping them off. When he read about the PAC’s plea for donations he jumped into action. “I emailed Ken (Millard – Kelvin’s principal) back and said, ‘I told you guys I was replacing the trees, why did you go to the media?’”Wynn laughed. On Monday, April 10,Wynn delivered the new trees to the school. The original trees were part

This is one of three trees the family donated to replace others destroyed by vandals last summer. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER of a project to augment the school’s greenspace and included a cherry tree, a sumac tree and a Japanese snowbell.Wynn got the same types of trees to
replace the damaged ones, but this time, he brought in older and larger trees that would be harder to cut down, he said. “They’re putting the trees in
as we speak,” he told the Record last Thursday. “It’s a big thing for the teachers and kids, they all love it; it’s a great little area.”
A Glenbrook North neighbourhood is voicing concerns about “last-minute” changes being proposed in the official community plan. New Westminster city council received a petition from residents opposing the most recent version of the draft land-use map, which suggests 48 properties in an area bounded by Eighth and Sixth avenues and First and Colborne streets are being contemplated for the residential townhouse land-use designation. First Street resident David Holloway expressed concern about the “last-minute” change for his neighbourhood. When Holloway last checked in with the official community plan process last August, he said properties in his neighbourhood were identified as having similar zoning as today, apart from an option to increase density through infill housing like laneway houses. Dave Beatty is one of 55 area residents who signed a petition to retain the current single-family detached zoning indefinitely, or until such time as the owner of each and every property affected agrees in writing to the contrary. “It’s an area of single family homes. Ninety-two per cent of residents signed a petition that was circulated April 6 to 9 were in favour of keeping it that way with no townhouses,” he told council Monday. “The timeframe for the change to our area is way too short.The city is trying to change this quickly with no input from residents.The Fifth Street area had a lot more time to make their thoughts known. Congratulations to all concerned for listening to the Fifth Street residents and abiding by their wishes.” Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said the next step in the official community plan update is a council workshop on April 24.
Tensions mount over heritage plan Community split on how – or if – city should create a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
As the exploration of creating a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park moves into the home stretch, tensions are mounting in the historic neighbourhood. Residents who support
and oppose the proposal filled council chambers on April 10. Some urged council to approve a conservation area, some appealed to council to abandon the plan and others suggested the city needs to hit the pause button and make sure the conservation area is done right.
“We are quite far along on the timeline, but not totally at the end,” said Britney Quail, the city’s heritage planning analyst. “So far in this exploration for conservation in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood there have been eight open houses, five surveys, 19 reports to council and 26 open working
group meetings. It has been quite the process.” After hearing from more than 20 residents at its last meeting, council said they wanted to digest the information rather than provide staff with direction on next steps. Council will be considering the next steps toward establishing a heritage
conservation area (HCA) in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood on Monday. Opponents of the conservation area have cited concerns about a variety of issues including decreased property values, costs associated with making changes to homes in a conservation area, property rights
and lack of incentives for homeowners in a conservation area. “I don’t think we should allow the wishes of some preservationists to overrule our individual rights and forcibly turn our homes into public monuments,” Continued on page 14

Opinion OUR VIEW
An order of extra lies with that burger All’s fair in love and burgers, so it’s no surprise that Liberal supporters decided to order up a bunch of burgers to plump Burger Heaven’s hamburger poll as NDP leader John Horgan and Judy Darcy were dropping in for lunch. Pity the poor person staffing the grill as the race, er, heats up in New Westminster. But if a food fight is the height of dirty politics in
this city’s race, we’ll be happy. Unfortunately, that is not the case in other electoral districts.Vandals have been spray painting Nazi symbols on lawn signs, and the B.C. Liberal Party has a truck following Horgan on the campaign trail with signs attacking the NDP platform attached to the sides. Really? The Liberals call it their “truth truck,” but we call it
shameful. It’s clear the Liberals feel their negative attack campaign in the last provincial election worked, and they’re going to continue with a winning game plan. Horgan, when asked about the truck, said, “If the B.C. Liberals want to hire people to drive around in a truck and follow me, at least they gave someone a job.” Unfortunately, the Liberals didn’t even create a new-
job – they used a staffer to do the dirty work. As for the vandalized signs, Christy Clark intimated that it was the work of the NDP – even though NDP signs were also vandalized. The sad fact is that, in politics, negative campaigning and lying about one’s opponent appears to work with voters. We’re not sure if some voters are just plain stupid,
or if the constant repetition of lies just seeps into our consciousness and plants enough doubt to sway us. We hate to compare anything in Canada to the last U.S. presidential election, but that election should surely make us pause and reflect. We urge – no, we beg – voters to check out what all the parties are pledging and what is factual and what is not before jumping to con-
clusions. The Vancouver Sun has an excellent online election coverage site, which includes a Fact Check section, so there’s little excuse to remain ignorant. Candidates may have the right to lie to us, but as responsible citizens we certainly have a duty to check out who is truthful and who is not.
MY VIEW DERMOD TRAVIS
A pattern of lies upon lies
F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote: “Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.” It’s the missed opportunities over the 2012 Health Ministry firings that will forever haunt the B.C. government. Ombudsperson Jay Chalke’s report, Misfire: the 2012 Ministry of Health Employment Terminations, pointed to a pattern of falsehood piled upon falsehood. Chalke found that the case against Roderick MacIsaac “was unsupported by the evidence and untrue.” Something the government knew full well by November 2012, but no one could even pick up the phone while Roderick was still alive to tell him. A tragic missed opportunity. By the fall of 2013, the government knew virtually everything their case had been predicated on had fallen out from under them, but no one said a word. Another missed opportunity. Premier Christy Clark stretched the truth with her characterization ofVictoria lawyer Marcia McNeil’s pending 2014 review into the firings, telling the legislature: “It is important that we get to the bottom of it, and that is what we hope to do. (McNeil) has full authority to speak with anyone she wants to in government.” No third-party review of the premier’s comments was required for the upper echelons inside government to immediately know Clark had misspoke, but no one corrected the record. Another missed opportunity. By spring 2015, the government knew the RCMP
had declined to investigate, but no one said a peep. Another missed opportunity. There was the three-year comptroller general’s investigation that went from finding “substantial merit” in most of the whistleblower’s claims to a report that “contained statements that were untrue” in a matter of weeks.Yet, when The Vancouver Sun published details from that report nearly a year later, no one saw fit to own up. Quite the opposite, in fact. In an interview, Health Minister Terry Lake doubled down, telling the Sun: “This was an investigation done by professional civil servants, not under the direction or direct control of politicians but carried out by professional public servants.They did their work.” Another missed opportunity. You walk away from Chalke’s report with a better sense of how this happened than you do why it happened?Why couldn’t government veterans satisfy a whistleblower on points where she was mistaken and fix what she may have been right about? No one seems to have applied the brakes for a sober second thought. These weren’t rookies. Five of nine key players named in Chalke’s report were in government in 2001, three more by 2005 and one by 2007. All were earning six-figure salaries in 2011/12, two of them more than $200,000. Five of the nine have since been promoted. The media relations manager whose name appears Continued on page 7

New West police were about to get two new tools in August to help with traffic enforcement.The city approved a request by the department to purchase two Harley Davidson motorcycles and two cars, instead of the three vehicles it had initially wanted. “I really like the idea of it. I think the terrain lends itself to having motorcycles,” Coun. Casey Cook said.The four vehicles were expected to cost $110,000. Officers would have to be fully trained and qualified before riding the motorcycles.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY April 20, 2017 7
Opinion ’Boro deserves better Dear Editor: Candidates of the new RichmondQueensborough riding have been trying to attract voters with solutions to our transportation woes. As a pedestrian and resident of Queensborough, the idea of a pedestrian bridge or passenger ferry, at this point in time, seems like a ridiculous waste of money. First, both are being proposed to connect Port Royal to the Quay; however, getting to Port Royal for a lot of residents is not convenient, unless you already live there or have access to a car or bike. The Queensborough Bridge already provides a means for residents to walk across, is more central for all residents, and also connects pedestrians to both 22nd Street station, Marine Drive and a path to the Quay. Why would someone want to walk out of their way to access these services when the bridge or bus is faster or more convenient? While both a passenger ferry and pedestrian bridge are fantastic ideas, theoretically, they would have to be evenly and easily accessible for all residents. Secondly, the city needs to improve the roads before considering new methods of transportation. Many roads in Queensborough are full of potholes, broken and in need of repair. This is not the result of the winter conditions; this has been a longstanding problem for as long as I can remember. I propose the city meet with TransLink to get increased bus services specifically for Queensborough residents getting across the
bridge, or even work towards a Queensborough shuttle. This would be the best bang for the city’s buck. It would benefit people from both sides of the island and get high school students to school faster. Megan Parmar, New Westminster
Employees are afraid Continued from page 6 on the still very public 2012 RCMP news release was promoted, seeing his salary jump from $75,574 to $110,158. At least two others were also promoted. Last month, B.C.’s auditor general, Carol Bellringer, released her office’s audit of B.C. public service ethics management. In it she noted: “In the last two years, only half of employees who observed unethical behaviour in their workplace came forward to report what they saw. Of those who didn’t report, just over half said they were afraid to.” In a recent editorial, the Times Colonist wrote: “The person who led the biased, incompetent investigation into (Ron) Mattson and the others, who threw innocent people to the wolves, still works for the province. Government employees, be afraid.” It would seem – based on Bellringer’s findings – many already are. Dermod Travis is the executive director of Integrity B.C.

ASK THE EXPERT Q:
My seasonal Allergies are really bad right now, any natural health tips to get me through the springtime?
A. Spring allergies are upon us,
and we can thank a cold and wet winter for that one! Cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom, soon pollen and hay fever will wreak havoc on our sinuses and we want Dr. Allana Polo, Naturopathic Physician you to be prepared to combat these allergies. Keeping your immune system strong is a great place to start. Ensure you are taking ample Vitamin C, Vitamin D and probiotics. Drinking 2L of water each day, getting sufficient exercise and sleep will also help. One of my personal Favorites is a Netti pot as it keeps your sinuses clear and dry, preventing bacteria build up in the passageway which could ultimately lead to sinus infections. Humidifiers and air purifiers work well inside the house to keep microbes away and the air moist. Make sure you close your windows to prevent pollens from flying inside, and ensure you dust and vacuum often.

City Burger poll gets a boost from leaders’ visits Continued from page 1 they (Liberals) were about 100 votes down.” Although the NDP was leading with 329 votes as of Tuesday afternoon, followed by the Liberals at 310, the Greens at 284 and undecided voters at 82, that changed after a Green surge on Tuesday night, when the party held an event with leader Andrew Weaver at Douglas College and an entourage dropped in for dinner. “There ended up being a lot more than we expected. Just from them alone, I think there was 60.That actually put the Green party ahead of everybody by one vote,” Geib said. “They just squeaked it out last night.” As of the Record’s press time, the Greens led with 354, the NDP was one vote behind at 353 and the Liberals had 315 votes.Weaver had a quick burger Tuesday night before departing. “We are just waiting on Christy Clark now,” Geib said. If the poll is any indication, Geib believes the provincial election could be a lot closer race than many people might think. At this time in the campaign, he said the Green party is usu-
ally only in double digits. “I have never seen it go up and down the way it has. Usually, when it starts out it is NDP and it’s NDP all the way through for us,” he said. “This is the first time I have ever seen the Liberals come as close as they have and then you turn around and the Green party is on top.We will have to wait and see what happens. It is very interesting.” While the burger poll doesn’t always get it right, it has a pretty good record of accurately predicting who will represent New Westminster in Victoria. “We are probably about 95 per cent correct as to who the local MLA will be,” Geib said. “When it comes to the overall, we are probably closer to a 50-50 split, whether it’s provincially or federally.” Before eating his burger, Horgan took a brief shift in Burger Heaven’s kitchen. “He flipped a few burgers.We had him cook his own burger. He seemed to enjoy it,” Geib said. “I offered him a job. I said, ‘If the political thing doesn’t work out for you, you can always have a job working here.’”

Cheddar cheese or mango habanero sauce?
The Burger Heaven poll, which runs until May 8, serves up four different burgers. Here, direct from the menu, are their descriptions: ! The Christy Clark Burger (Liberal Party) is a lean-to-the right Grade A burger that’s been on the front burner for the past four years and wants to stay there. It includes a slab of B.C. cheddar cheese, special CC sauce and milder o(u)nions. According to the proverbial “pipeline,” this very wellseasoned burger wants to lead again so as to stimulate the economy and ensure that the minimum wage is raised for BH servers as well as others to ensure that burger consumers (British Columbians) come first. ! The John Horgan Burger (NDP). To spice

things up, this tasty Nicely Done Patty of lean-to-the-left Grade A beef is attempting to gain “ground” on the front left burner as it stirs the pot, trying to take a bite out of the Liberal burger and form a government that works for all burger consumers (British Columbians). It includes strong o(u)unions, red tomato, a sharp slice of B.C. mozzarella

and a dollop of H-organ-ic mango habanero sauce. “Lettuce lead and we’ll Relish in the opportunity to drain some fat out of the liberally cut slice of bacon and make sure that, if this burger eater works hard, he or she is paid a fair wage.” ! The Andrew Weaver Burger (Green Party). Grilled on the back left burner using
clean fuel to avoid toxic emissions, this Grade A Burger cuts the mustard with our environmentally-conscious customer and includes a slice of organically-grown green tomato and green lettuce and has come a long way to “ketchup” in the political kitchen of popularity. Also, this burger has been cooked in the proverbial frying pan without union or corporate donations and focuses on building a sustainable green economy and “boosting the tech sector to create clean/ green jobs.” This burger could “Weave(r)” from the back of the stove to the front burner. ! The (b)undecided/other burger. This one’s for diners/voters who aren’t quite sure which burger candidate they want to select.

A closer look/The unbreakable Susie Chew: Part 2
‘Bermuda House Bars Susan Chew’ The story behind the story that made national news and exposed racism in the Royal City
I
n her small Vancouver apartment overlooking Oakridge Centre, 90-year-old Susan Chew hands me a folder marked “Bermuda House,” thick with old newspaper clippings. Opening it, I’m taken back to an event in New Westminster’s history that has been all but forgotten. “Bermuda House Bans Susan Chew” blares the headline on the front page of the March 21, 1956 Columbian above a large photo of a 29-year-old Chew. An energetic young businesswoman and the proprietor of the popular Waffle House at Sixth and Sixth, Chew and Verla Thompson (née Staples), a friend who waitressed at the café, had paid a deposit on a bachelor suite at the “swanky” new Bermuda House apartments at 1303 Eighth Ave. Two weeks later, however, manager John McIlroy had changed his tune and quietly told the Victoria-born Chew she couldn’t live there because she was Chinese.
“I am dedicated to aid in the alleviation of pain and suffering, not to encourage it with such an act of discrimination,” Dr. Wilder told the paper. Mayor Fred Jackson also registered his support, calling Chew “a good citizen of good character.” “It was big news back then,” Chew says, watching me flip through the clippings.
So big was it that Chew would go on to appear on Front Page Challenge, the popular weekly current events show on CBC that once hosted the likes of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Malcolm X and Jesse Owens. Continued on page 11
Racial furor
She had driven back from the encounter mortified at the prospect of telling Thompson and their friends in the press – regulars at the Waffle House – why there would be no housewarming party. “It was devastating,” she says, “I felt ashamed because I was a Cubmaster, I sang in the Baptist choir, I did all kinds of community things, you know, and I felt short-changed.” When she finally told her press friends, it took them three days to convince her to go public. When she did, the story spread like wildfire, with CKNW blasting it over the airwaves and the Columbian letting loose with a front-page story and pictures. “All hob broke loose,” Vancouver Sun columnist Jack Wasserman would write later. “By the late afternoon, a whole city was up in arms …” Responding to the sudden wave of controversy, McIlroy, the original builder of the apartment block and a part owner, told the press the incident had all been a misunderstanding and it hadn’t been his idea to reject Chew as a tenant. It had been the work of a U.S. corporation planning to buy the Bermuda. McIlroy said the prospective owners had seen Chew’s name on the list of tenants, asked about her ethnic origin and then ordered him as manager to reject her. “No one more than myself regrets the disturbance caused by the incident,” he told the Columbian. “We had no thought of racial discrimination here ...” Meanwhile, instead of being “snowed under” by people turning against her, as McIlroy had warned Chew they would if she spoke out, the young entrepreneur got an outpouring of support from “a score of indignant friends she never knew she had,” according to the Herald. Prominent local physician Dr. E.M. Wilder and his wife Susan, a CKNW writer, were scheduled to move into one of the Bermuda’s two penthouse suites, but the couple cancelled their lease in protest, according to the Herald.

Continued from page 10
“Triumph of decency”
Within 12 hours of Chew telling her story, McIlroy announced he had cancelled the sale of the Bermuda to the U.S. firm and Chew would be allowed to move into her bachelor suite after all. That revelation unleashed another round of front-page headlines, editorials, columns and letters to the editor, not just in the local paper, but in the Sun, the Province, the Herald and others. Many called McIlroy a hero for cancelling the $400,000 deal. The Province called the move a “triumph of decency.” The Columbian said New West citizens could thank God the “stain of racial discrimination” had been removed from the city. Some directed their ire south of the border. Coun. J.L Sangster told the Herald New Westminster didn’t want “any reputation of Alabama troubles” – referring to riots that had erupted a month earlier at the University of Alabama with the integration of the school’s first black student, Autherine Lucy. The Province took up the same line. “This little incident of Miss Chew and her apartment strikes us, somehow, as a much bigger milestone along the road to tolerance and human understanding than all the uproar over Miss Autherine Lucy and the University of Alabama,” read one editorial. Amidst the patriotic bluster, however, the U.S. corporation that had reportedly sought to impose its American-style racism in the Royal City was never identified. Some commentators, like Mrs.Tillie Collins, secretary of the Vancouver branch of the League for Democratic Rights, saw the Bermuda House affair as a call to action. Writing to the Herald, she called on B.C. to join other provinces that had already passed fair accommodation legislation – something the league had unsuccessfully lobbied the province for for two years. And five years later, when a B.C. Federation of Labour fact-finding committee found the only documented case of housing discrimination in New West had been Chew’s, executive secretary Bill Giesbrecht warned the Columbian any backslapping on the issue should be cautious. “Far too many victims of discrimination, through fear of publicity or reprisal, fail to take action and nurse their wounds in private,” he said.
The roommate
While many quoted in the newspapers of the day voiced shocked indignation at the idea of racial discrimination rearing its head in the Royal City, one person close to the story was not surprised. Thompson wasn’t named in the first stories about the Bermuda House incident and stayed almost entirely in the background for the duration of the uproar. “She is really not involved, and I don’t wish to cause her any embarrassment,” Chew had told the Columbian about her “Occidental” roommate in 1956. A small-town girl from the prairies, Thompson had come from Manitoba to live with her two sisters in Surrey. “We got along great,” Chew says, “and we just thought it would be kind of fun to move in together.” Once the dust had settled on the Ber-

muda House affair, they did move into the apartment but only stayed for about a year before Thompson got married and moved to the B.C. Interior and Chew bought a house in New West with her sister Prior to a 90th birthday party at the Waffle House for Chew in January, the former roommates had lost touch. Talking to Thompson on the phone – after tracking her down on the internet – it’s easy to see how Chew’s old friend stayed in the background while the media hoopla swirled around Chew. At one point Thompson tells me I’m asking too many questions. “I haven’t thought about that place in a long, long, long time,” she says. There’s just enough time to ask a couple quick questions before she hustles me off the phone. One of them is about racism. The discrimination others claimed to find so shocking during the affair didn’t surprise her in 1956. “No, I’d already been in school, and there was lots of it when we were in school,” she says matter-of-factly. Not so for Chew, who says she had never encountered racism before. For her, it took McIlroy telling her to her face that she wasn’t welcome at the Bermuda House to shake her confidence in her place in the community. “But it was fleeting,” she says, 60 years later. “After that, it was gone. I had to deal with life, you know, carry on.” Like the appendectomy that released her from a life of farm labour and launched her into a new life as an urban entrepreneur, she says the notoriety that came with the Bermuda House affair eventually opened up new opportuni-
ties for her, first in Vancouver and then in Toronto. And ahead of her still were more adventures: modelling and reporting in China Town, hula dancing in Hawaii, selling real estate in Toronto. The Royal City, however, would always keep a special place in her heart.
“I was really fond of New Westminster,” she says. “I never forgot New Westminster.”

City City ponders ideas from reconciliation process From Judge Begbie to renaming the city Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Renaming New Westminster or giving it a dual name, providing financial support for the Qayqayt First nation and changing the Judge Begbie statue – those are just some of the ideas generated during the Truth and Reconciliation New West process. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission heard from more than 6,000 people about residential schools and their impacts and made 94 calls to action. Last November, several New Westminster residents launched the Truth and Reconciliation New West process. “We call on the City of New Westminster to join a nationwide movement of municipal governments standing up to their reconciliation responsibilities,” said Babs Kelly, one of the organizers of Truth and Reconciliation New West. Nadine Nakagawa said the group came together because it wasn’t hearing anything about truth and
reconciliation in New Westminster and believes everyone has a role to play. “We can’t just wait for indigenous people, who are often busy with their own lives, the business of jobs and families, to initiate the conversation that as non-indigenous people we haven’t really been involved in,” she said. The group held an event at Anvil Centre called Community Stories of Truth and Reconciliation. “We laughed, we cried, we talked about topics that are often felt to be too taboo to even acknowledge,” Nakagawa said. Kelly said people wanted the City of New Westminster to work with the Qayqayt First Nation to support its community and leadership role and to support purposeful actions and address certain legacies, such as the Judge Begbie statue located in downtown New Westminster (who is seen to be a symbol of the city’s colonial history). “Reconciliation is a journey.The temptation to frame it as an act or an end result should be resisted. Nonetheless, as with all journeys there needs to be
a roadmap, resources and support,” she said. “We were quite astounded by the commitment from community members to be part of that roadmap and looking to the City of New Westminster for the resources and support to be able to do that.”
Four steps towards reconciliation Truth and Reconciliation New West is calling on the city to pursue a number of paths toward reconciliation. Council referred the four recommendations to staff for a report. 1. That the city make a concrete and actionable commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action, particularly those applying to municipal government
responsibilities. 2. That the mayor and council request a staff report regarding the calls to action and how New Westminster will implement actions that are undertaken. 3. That the city agree to find ways to name and rename civic assets that would reflect reconciliation, acknowledge the unceded territory of the Qayqayt First Nations and Coast Salish

City Area is ‘not a museum’
Continued from page 3 said Joanne Matson. “Any Queen’s Park resident who wishes to legally protect their home is absolutely free to do so, and I would definitely support them doing so. Our neighbourhood is not a museum. It’s a place for us to raise our families, and that should remain its primary purpose.” A staff report states a heritage conservation area is a tool that can be used to protect existing buildings and provide design control for new construction, with the goal of ensuring change in the area is respectful of the existing heritage character. Supporters, however, said the Queen’s Park working group has spent three years considering all aspects of a conservation area, meeting with B.C. Assessment and considering issues such as property values, property rights, design guidelines. They noted there are more than 60 conservation areas in B.C. and hundreds across Canada. “I am not saying change should never happen or
it’s never desirable, but, to my understanding, a heritage conservation area is the best tool we have for managing change, especially in these times of ever-increasing housing pressures,” said Jill Davy. “I am not saying a policy that no house should come down ever; I am saying, let’s have an explicit policy that assigns a level of protection to homes of heritage value, let’s have a policy that requires a review of those heritage values before issuing a green light for a demolition permit and let’s have some rules, not just guidelines in place, about what kind of a new house goes up. I believe that enacting a heritage conservation area is a progressive move and it’s the right move for our city. ” A staff report states there was 76 per cent support for the creation of a conservation area after the first round of consultation, but that fell to 58 per cent after the second round of consultation.The report states residents support protection of older homes (pre-1900 to
1929). While supporters say there is a “silent majority” in the neighbourhood who support the conservation area, as shown by more than 300 ‘We support heritage conservation signs’ adorning local lawns, opponents suggest many of those who support the concept don’t thoroughly understand the implications of the policy. Mark Fox, who has lived in Queen’s Park for more than 30 years, has concerns that “HCA Flight 2017” is taxiing toward the runway and council needs to address the “warning lights” before taking off to ensure all passengers are comfortable. “I am supportive of the heritage conservation process – we need it. But please press pause on this,” he said. “None of us wants to be on a flight where the warning lights have been discounted. Deal with the warning lights.Taxi back to the gate. Take some time – let’s get this right so that all of us ... have a safe and enjoyable flight.”
Having their say on the plan: “The status quo doesn’t make sense. We believe the heritage community’s proposals do not support a plan to engage young, ethnically diverse buyers. … We believe the heritage committee is a loud, minority group in Queen’s Park who is largely a group of heritage landowners that would do anything to protect their interests.” – Claire Zanatta “It is a misnomer to say the HCA will prevent all demolitions from occurring. That is not the case. What will happen is it will give our
elected officials the ability to say no to a demolition, whereas now, under the status quo, you don’t have that power.” – David Brett
“Canada is an evolving society with unique, multiple interpretations of history. We must deal with the change. We don’t want to live in a stagnant, but vibrant community.” – Rav Johal “I care about my wallet just as much as anybody else, but bulldozing a solid, period-
valuable home that has stood for 60, 70 or 100 years or more leaves more than just a hole in the ground. It severs a link between the physical past and the yet-unrealized future. I think this city deserves a bigger vision than that.” – Jill Davy “My question is why are HCAs good enough for other heritage neighborhoods around the world but not here in Queen’s Park, where we have the largest inventory of heritage homes in Western Canada?” – Mary-Lou Nidle

Community
Wanted: Residents with plenty o’ pluck
Poultry rental business is hoping to break into the NewWest market Tereza Verenca
tverenca@newwestrecord.ca
Accessing farm fresh eggs from the backyard could soon become the norm for many NewWest residents. That’s because U.S.based company Rent The Chicken is hoping to break into the Royal City market. As the name implies, the business rents out the livestock to folks who want to have a yard-to-table experience without the long-term commitment.The cost is either $425 for two hens or $600 for four hens for six months, between April and November. Each rental includes a coop, a food and water dish, and a food supply for the entire rental period. Staff even toss in an eight-ounce bag of dried meal worms at checkout. Rent The Chicken made headlines last year after a farm near Kamloops, B.C. signed on as an affiliate, renting out chickens to communities within the Interior.Those farmers are now willing, if there’s a demand, to drive down to the Lower Mainland and make the delivery. “We’ve had a lot of interest from that area,” affiliate Marie McGivern told the Record. “We’re certainly hoping we can get things off the ground (in NewWestminster). I think there’s a big demand for it.” McGivern said when she and her husband began offering Rent The Chicken, they were hoping to rent out five coops.They ended up renting out 11. NewWestminster has had a bylaw on the keep-
ing of chickens since the late 1960s.To have up to eight chickens, the lot must be at least 6,000 square feet in size and the coop must be 50 feet from the nearest habitable dwelling and no less than two feet from the property line. Additional chickens are required to have 750 square feet of space each without the lot exceeding half an acre. If the lot exceeds half an acre, additional chickens, up to a maximum of 50, need an additional 500 square feet of space. Sapperton resident Jen Arbo is no stranger to the yard-to-table experience. She grew up with chickens and has four of them in her backyard. “We did it because we moved from a townhouse to a house.We had a young son and thought it would be a good opportunity for him to learn more about where food comes from,” she said. But having them isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be, she added. “If you have this romantic vision that they’re just these lovable feather things that you pick up, they’re not. They’re kind of dirty sometimes,” Arbo laughed. “Like if your chickens get something called scaly, you have to rubVaseline into your chicken’s feet, or if your chicken is really sick, there’s not a lot of vets that will manage chickens.” And like with any animal, going away isn’t always easy. Any family getaway means a call to the “chicken sitter.” “We usually pay a friend or neighbour with eggs,” said Arbo.
Backyard farming: New West resident Jen Arbo (left) grew up with chickens, so when she and her husband moved from a townhouse to a house with their son Kale (right), setting up a few coops was a no-brainer. But Arbo warns they can be high maintenance. PHOTOS JENNIFER GAUTHIER
Ensuring the coops don’t fall victim to a predator is another thing to keep in mind, she said. “We had a dog break into our yard and bust into the chicken coop and had one of our chickens in his mouth.” As for Rent The Chicken’s price tag, Arbo believes it’s high. She did the “chicken math” on her own operation and said unless you’re someone who spends money on organic eggs, setting up a coop isn’t worth it. “If you’re the type of person who spends $3 a dozen, then it’s not worth it. It de-
pends how you value eggs,” Arbo told the Record. The number of eggs a hen produces depends on its breed, she said.The Arbo family has two breeds that lay all year round, so they usually get two eggs a week in the winter and between six and eight in the summer. Arbo called the Rent The Chicken phenomenon “awesome” but cautioned there is some maintenance involved. “I think there’s an (urge) for people to get back to the land, sort of speak. I think this is somebody who is capitalizing on that de-
sire for people to have the opportunity to have things like chickens or whatever,” she said. “It’s a pretty smart
business idea.” To learn more, visit rentthechicken.com.

Businesses invited to join purple light campaign and decided they would have a little bit of home here in New Westminster by naming some of their favourite places.” The proclamation read by Cote states that many local streets and landmarks got their names from British immigrants from England and many people of British heritage continue to contribute in many ways to the growth and development of New Westminster.

bone density screening
Trampoline park set to bounce into New West City has yet to receive an application for a business licence for the new Extreme Air Park in Sapperton Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A new business is looking to open on Braid Street, but it won’t be bouncing a massive development off the site. A notice on the Extreme Air Park website states 40,000 square feet of wall-to-wall trampolines is coming to 109 Braid St., next to the Braid Street SkyTrain station, in April 2017. To date, city hall hasn’t received an application for a business licence. Extreme Air Park is an indoor trampoline park featuring activities like dodgeball, basketball, volleyball and half-pipe, and is currently operating facilities in Langley, Richmond and Calgary. The company could not be reached for comment.
The Record contacted staff at New Westminster City Hall, who said they were unaware of the plan to open an Extreme Air Park at the site at Braid and Brunette. The property is part of the 38.5-acre Sapperton Green site, which will become home to residential, retail and office space in future years. In November 2015, city council approved an amendment to the official community plan to change the land-use designation of 97 Braid St. to SGTMC – Sapperton Green Transit-Oriented MixedUsed Community, which allowed the proponent to develop a master plan for the site. “I understand they are still going through their master plan work and they
are still looking to go to the rezoning process in either 2017 or 2018,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “It’s still moving ahead. I think they definitely see it as a very long-term development.” According to Cote, Amazon has a 10-year lease for large warehouse on the property and Royal Columbian Hospital is using part of the site for temporary parking for its employees. “There’s a recognition we are probably a few years out before we will see any activity,” he said of the Sapperton Green development. “Even as activity starts, some of the older uses will probably still continue as that project slowly starts to get phased in over the next 10 to 20 years.”

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS OR TO BECOME A MEMBER, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE You’re likely aware of the upcoming provincial election on May 9—it seems to be the only news these days and for good reason. This provincial election has much at stake for BC residents and businesses and our path to the future. At the Chamber, we care greatly about elections. So much so, in fact, that we’re hosting an All Candidates Forum on April 25 at the Justice Institute Theatre from 7-9pm. We encourage you to register to attend with your business owner hat on. We are grateful to our Chamber member, Fortis BC, for their sponsorship of this event. Why should you make time in your schedule for this? Who is at the helm of our province has a direct impact on business. The sitting government determines obvious issues facing business owners, such as taxes and the costs associated with doing business. Retraining, hiring grants, and other opportunities can also be directly steered by the government’s budget and goals. Apprenticeships, childcare, the cost of commuting, medical premiums and other employee-focused programs are also dictated by the government. All sizes of businesses should care what’s happening in terms of provincial elections – not just the very large or very small businesses, and not just the incorporated or sole proprietorships. Every business has something at stake, and we hope you join us at the All Candidates Meeting to hear about the issues that impact you and your business the most.

Hyack to tell First Nations stories Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A New Westminster native is committed to ensuring that the First Nations contributions aren’t forgotten during Canada’s 150th anniversary year. David Lyle is serving as the 2017 artistic director for the Hyack Festival Association, with the goal of executing its theme for the year: First Nations. First Cities: Telling Our Story.Together. The stories of the First Nations are important to Lyle, who was adopted in infancy by a New Westminster couple. Lyle’s adoptive father, Walter, fought with the Royal Westminster Regiment in Europe in the Second World War and is one of the men depicted on the Wait for Me Daddy monument in Hyack Square.While serving abroad,Walter met his wife, Emily, and returned to the Royal City, where they adopted an infant son. “I was part of the Sixties Scoop,” explains Lyle. “It’s basically when native chil-
dren were taken from their parents, or adopted out.” Through the years, Lyle has made a couple of attempts at investigating his history and trying to find his biological family, with no success. One of his earliest memories was attending Indian Days in New Westminster in 1967, when he was just two years old. “I recall it was a big deal because I had my first Mohawk haircut,” Lyle laughs. “You can see it in the picture.” David Brett, president of the Hyack Festival Association, was searching the library’s archives when he found that photo of David in a newspaper clipping and tracked him down. Lyle has fond memories of growing up in New Westminster, where he enjoyed many of the city’s longstanding traditions such as dancing the maypole dances at May Day, playing lacrosse and watching the Hyack Parade. He’s looking forward to bringing a First Nations perspective to the Hyack Continued on page 32

Community ‘There was a long history before the 150 years’
Continued from page 30 Festival Association’s events in 2017, which is Canada’s 150th anniversary. “The native son returns,” says Lyle, who moved to Vancouver a decade ago. Lyle recognizes there’s a backlash in some native communities about celebrations surrounding Canada’s 150th anniversary. “It is extremely important to me that I get this right,” he says. “Within the native community, there is a lot of talk about: Should we be celebrating this?” Working with some artists, Lyle has developed a logo that will be featured on Hyack’s 2017 pin and float. “We are adding a plus to the 150,” he says. “That’s saying, ‘Hey, there was a long history before the 150 years.’” Having lived in Vancouver for the past decade, Lyle is excited to return to his old stomping grounds and help Hyack implement its theme. He’s grateful to Qayqayt First Nation Chief Rhonda
Larrabee and her daughter Stacey for their assistance and the work Larrabee has done through the years to increase awareness about First Nations in New West. After graduating from New Westminster Secondary School in 1982, Lyle performed in bands, which segued into parts in TV and
We are adding a plus to the 150
films. He’s been proud that some of those roles, including Arctic Air, have allowed him to represent the First Nations community in a positive way. “I think our community is really needing that,” he says. “I have been teaching up at the reserve, the Musqueam, teaching them some voiceover and narration. They are telling their own
stories.” Lyle is also the host and narrator of the upcoming 13-episode Aboriginal People’s Television Network series Nations atWar, which tells the history of Canada from the aboriginal of view. Lyle’s work in film and TV has influenced his plans for the Hyack float, which he’s treating like a rolling stage. Along with acting, teaching acting and working in production in the film industry, Lyle is also part of the Artists Rendering Tales Collective Inc., a group that puts on historical re-enactments. It’s anticipated the group will highlight New Westminster’s First Nations through historical reenactments at Hyack Festival events like the Qayqayt Howl salmon barbecue. “Hyack, at the end of the day, it’s a festival, it’s a parade, it’s a party. It’s a promotion of New Westminster and a promotion of Hyack,” Lyle says. “That’s the main focus I want to do – bring everyone together.”

(where) they know where the money is going, and not enough of us put ourselves on top of our paycheques, so it’s difficult to accomplish our goals, like paying down debt, if we’re not focusing on it. So you’re saying people ignore debt? What happens for a lot people is the amount debt tends to snowball.You owe $1,000 and before you know it it’s $5,000. What’s the worst case of debt you’ve seen?
Hannah counsels people on debt – how to avoid it, how to pay it off and what to do if it becomes overwhelming. The Record caught up with Hannah to talk about debt in a world where instant gratification is so important. – Cayley Dobie
Well, certainly, we have seen people come to us with an excess of $300,000 of unsecured credit, meaning credit cards and lines of credit, but I think the highest number of individual credit card debt that I saw from one individual with active balances was $39,000. And that’s at an interest rate of 20 per cent? Or higher. … A number of the retailers that have credit cards that are in excess of 25 per cent. … Over the 20 years that we’ve been providing help to consumers,

we’ve seen the average debt load of unsecured credit go from $10,000 to $15,000, back in the ’90s, to $29,000 to $40,000 today. And our salaries haven’t doubled from that timeline, but that’s the amount that we’re carrying. Because we’ve been caught in this lowinterest environment for an extended period of time, I think a lot of us have just become immune to the fact that rates could go up.

Ask for help early on Continued from page 33 payments.When the rates go up, it’s going to have a serious impact on their mortgage, and because they have other consumer debt – credit cards, lines of credit – those people are going to experience a lot of difficulty. So you think interest rates will go up? Yes. Look at down in the States.They’re forecasting that interest rates will go up at least three times this year – they’ve already gone up once.They forecasted it last year. At one point in time, when our economy improves, our rates will go up. OK, so what’s the most effective way to pay off debt for someone living paycheque-topaycheque? First thing they need to do is take a very hard and detailed look at where their money is going, so tracking their spending. And I would do that for a period of 30, perhaps 60, days. ...With that information, you need to
then create a budget to find out, ‘OK, am I in balance with my budget or not? Am I spending more than what’s coming in, including debt payments, or not?’ and if they are, then it’s a matter of going back to the budget and saying, ‘What changes can I make?’ And I don’t advocate that a person should make huge wholesale changes, because that may be difficult to manage over a longer period of time, but looking at every single expense item in their budget. Could they have a less expensive cable package? Does it make sense to scale back on their internet package? Are they getting the best value for their insurance coverage? … Whatever you need to do to get your budget balanced, you have to do it.
How do you avoid accumulating debt? It’s really about going back old school and saving up for things, having delayed gratification versus immediate gratification, but that behaviour doesn’t happen overnight.Typically, we find that clients who come to us in difficulty and want to make changes, it usually takes three to six months for good habits to really cement in.
Where does saving money come in? Is it something you should do while paying off debt? Where possible, we always encourage our clients to make room for some savings. Life events happen.You just

Tou r n a me nt The Royal City Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of New Westminster invite you to participate in the 22nd Annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament on July 11th at Mayfair Lakes Golf Club. Over the past 21 years, this event has raised over $456,000 for local charities. Over $33,000 was raised from last year’s tournament alone. Some of the beneficiaries in our community in the past have included Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation, St Mary’s Health Foundation, Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation, West Coast Kids’ Charity and Pathfinder Youth Centre Society, among others. The Rotary Clubs’ principal focus has been on funding programs for youth in New Westminster, and we will continue to promote them. Again this year, the two local Rotary Clubs will also donate a portion of the net proceeds to Salvation Army (New Westminster) and the Lower Mainland Purpose Society (an alternate education facility) to further their valuable work with youth facing their own challenges in the community. We believe we need to invest in our youth, since they are our future. Past tournaments have been sold out. We hope to repeat hat success this year. We invite you to participate in the tournament as a sponsor, donor or golfer...or, ideally, all three and join us in a day of golf and camaraderie and support our work in your community at the same time. Golf registration is just $175 for green fees, golf cart and banquet dinner. There will be a silent and live auction of great items. See our website at www.rotarypotofgoldgolf.com for more information and forms.

Community OUR PAST
Researchers can uncover value in the little things Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Doing research in early newspapers will allow you to identify areas and categories in the papers that repeat in various issues. It is often through such bits and pieces of the past that you will be able to locate a person or story. These things, while they can hold great importance to a project or study, are usually small, of relatively few words, easy to miss, and are not the things that you can really seek out. They will show up under headings like briefs, local intelligence, shipping news, telegraphic communications and other similar things that are small but valuable to someone looking for a story. Another such helpful item can be a request for assistance in finding someone. These, of course, can be sad, pleading or demanding as family, friends, associates and such are try-
ing, often with desperation in their words, to find a person.Where might they be? Are they elsewhere “in the world” or are they still where they initially said they would be? We do not see this type of piece very often, but here was one in 1867 and the type of request that was finding its way onto the desk of the newspaper editor had obviously touched a chord or a nerve, as we say, and spurred on some expressive words of reproach, almost of anger. Under a short title of “What a shame!” we found the following in a paper from June of that year: “We have occasionally been surprised and pained to learn how some people who come to this colony leave anxious and affectionate wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers at home, year after year looking in vain for tidings from absent relatives, not even knowing if they are dead or alive.
“Letter after letter sometimes of the most distressing character, comes out from these anxious ones, addressed to the Minister, Editor, or Postmaster, making enquiry about so and so, who came to British Columbia in such and such a year, and has not been heard from for one, two, three, four, five, or six years, as the case may be.” Through those words, the writer of the newspaper makes his point very clearly, but then, in his closing sentences, he pushes his point just a bit further, obviously hoping to make one or two of the folks he is referring to take notice and respond as appropriate. “Such conduct is worse than cruel. It is disgraceful! We have now a list of names of some of these delinquents on hand, which we may take occasion to advertise unless they reform.” A fascinating piece.We will watch to see if anything more comes of this “very personal” approach.

editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Our lives are enriched when exposed to diversity. One of the best ways of exposing children to other cultures, as well as their own, is through stories. The New Westminster Public Library is a wonderful resource for multicultural and diverse books.Visit the library for picture books that celebrate the cultures, languages and lives of children growing up around the world. Gain insight on life in the Arctic with Ningeokuluk Teevee’s Alego.This charming story features a young Inuit girl on a clam-digging expedition with her grand-
mother. In At the Same Moment, Around theWorld by Clotilde Perrin, catch a glimpse of kids’ lives while travelling across time zones.This gorgeously illustrated book introduces concepts of geography and time, as well as providing glimpses of how people live across the globe. Four Feet Two Sandals by Karen Lynn Williams is a powerful story of friendship. Two Afghani girls living in a refugee camp each find a sandal that brings them together. With simple rhyming text try Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns by Hena Khan. This beautifully illustrated book uses colour to celebrate the customs, traditions
and celebrations of Islam. In Maggie’s Chopsticks by Alan Woo, the title character struggles to learn how to use chopsticks, while her family members give her all kinds of advice. But will she find a style that is right for her? In Ana Maria Machado’s What a Party!, a birthday boy is told that he can bring whomever he likes to his party.What ensues is a festivity highlighting food, people and animals from all over the world. For more reading suggestions, call 604-527-4677, email youth@nwpl.ca or visit the library in person. We also have reading suggestions online at nwpl.ca.

Runner takes new mark in stride Grade 11 distance runner leads strong Royal City track team showing in Oregon
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
The bright lights and crowded field gave New Westminster’s Grace Fetherstonhaugh a glimpse into the future. The results reflected how much she enjoyed it. The Grade 11 athlete, whose past personal bests earned her prime positions in two Oregon Relay events, made her first foray on the U.S. track this past weekend a successful one. Fetherstonhaugh collected new personal best times in both the 1500- and 3000-metre races, with the latter resulting in a silver medal. “It worked out really well for me. I was super happy with how my races went, and it was a real great experience to race down there,” said Fetherstonhaugh. The Royal City Track and Field Club member finished second in the 3000m, right behind long-time running friend and rival Taryn O’Neill of George
Elliot Secondary, and placed fourth in the 1500m. Fetherstonhaugh’s 3000m finish time was especially memorable, getting her under the 10-minute barrier for the first time. Her 9:52.07 represented a major breakthrough, besting her previous mark of 10:05 set last year at the B.C. High School championships. “I was trying to go under 10 for a while now, so was (O’Neill),” remarked Fetherstonhaugh. “I was just hoping to get a personal best and under 10, and a top-three. I was aiming to tuck in and see what happens, just give it all I’ve got. ... I was so happy, like ‘Finally.’ “It’s one of those moments that you’re – I really wanted to get under 10 for such a long time. It was like, ‘Really? I’m under 10? Okay that’s good.’ Now I want to work on getting a better run and a faster time.” Her time in the 1500m of 4:35.80 was nearly three-seconds better than her previous mark.
Royal City coach Sean Dixon said the 10-minute barrier, coming on such a huge stage, couldn’t have been bigger. “We went in just trying to make some numbers and get sub-10,” said Dixon. “The time was fabulous and the (second) placing was icing on the cake.” It was part of an excellent showing for all four members of the Royal City team in attendance, as throwers Brianna Bates, Zuzanna Liniewski and Jenevieve Patry-Smith hit new heights in their respective disciplines. Bates, also a New West Secondary athlete, finshed 20th overall in the javelin with a distance of 34.62 metres, while Coquitlam native Patry-Smith stood 22nd, with a throw of 34.16m. PatrySmith also posted a second personal best in the discus, placing 21st with a throw of 31.11m. Liniewski, a Grade 9 athlete from Burnaby North, was impressive in finishing 11th overall in the hammer throw with a throw of 31.64m.
All were using heavier, 600gram discus and javelin and fourkilogram hammer, compared to the B.C. high school standard. “For (Liniewski) this was a real happy moment,” said Dixon. “She’s just in Grade 9 and learning the hammer throw. She went in quite nervous but the goal was to get over 30m, and her first toss she did it. Every throw was better than the last.” They all turn their focus towards the B.C. High School championships in six weeks’ time. For Fetherstonhaugh, the success was validation for all the hard work she has put in, and all the support she has received from her family and coaches. It also made her reflect on how much a thrill it is to compete. “I started doing track and field in Grade 7,” she recalled. “I knew I was long distance from the getgo, I didn’t really try sprinting because I like to run, I like team sports so I like endurance and stuff. I did my first race and I was like, ‘OK, I like this.’”
Two people with New Westminster ties were honoured last week at the 2017 B.C. Sports Hall of Fame banquet in Vancouver. New West native Dave Sidoo and one-time Douglas College coach and instructor Tim Frick were part of the Class of 2017, people inducted or honoured for their contribution to sports in B.C. Frick was inducted into the coach/ builder category for his role as a pioneer in wheelchair sports. Frick directed the Canadian team to four world championship titles and also gold medals at the 1992 Barcelona, 1996 Atlanta and 2000 Sydney Paralympics. As a friend, coach and motivator, Frick accompanied Rick Hansen on his Man in Motion world tour. During much of the 1990s, Frick was based at New Westminster’s Douglas College, serving as a coach and instructor in the physical education program. A seven-time recipient of the Coaching Excellence Award, Frick was earlier inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, the Canadian Paralympic Hall of Fame and the Wheelchair Basketball Canada Hall of Fame. Sidoo, meanwhile, received the W.A.C. Bennett Achievement Award, honouring his contributions to sport, and specifically to football at his alma mater, the University of B.C. A veteran of six seasons in the Canadian Football League with B.C. and Saskatchewan, Sidoo captained his UBC Thunderbirds team to a Vanier Cup title in 1982, and was a prominent force over the past few years to ensure the program overcame some turbulent times. His 13th Man Foundation became a centre of support for the football team, bringing in numerous alumni The first Indo-Canadian player in the CFL, Sidoo went on to build a successful business career after football and has used that success with philanthropic interests in the community with the charity Sidoo Family Giving. Among the others inducted last week were the B.C. Lions’ Geroy Simon, hockey’s Mark Recchi, rugby’s Mark Wyatt, Paralympian Michelle Stilwell, equestrian couple George and Dianne Tidball, former UBC coach Frank Smith, mountain biker Roland Green, taekwon-do’s Chang Keun Choi and the UBC Thunderettes 1969-70 basketball team.

Ryan eyes Cougar spot
NewWest winger inks with major junior team Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
He flashed his potential for two seasons as a member of the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. Now, New Westminster’s Liam Ryan is eager to show his stuff at the major junior level. The 17-year-old winger signed a player agreement this week with the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League, looking to crack the lineup for the 2017-18 season.
“He’s worked very hard over the past two seasons to put himself in this position,” Cougars general manager Todd Harkins said in a press release. “Since the day he was drafted he has continued to develop into a solid, impact player. “Speed, skill and leadership are all major strengths to his game.” Ryan was a seventh round selection, 138th overall, by Prince George in 2015, after having led his Burnaby Winter Club bantam team to a tier 1 provincial title. It was the last of four B.C. tier 1 championships he
played on with the private hockey program, after playing his first few years in the New West Minor Hockey Association. As a member of the major midget Chiefs, Ryan evolved into a leadership role, serving as one of the assistant captains over the past season. He scored 15 goals and 28 assists over 38 games, improving on his rookie numbers of eight goals and 21 assists. The team placed second this past season with a 32-50-3 mark.
Schultz scores weekly honour The honours keep on coming for New Westminster’s Nina Schultz. Fresh off of setting a new Canadian under-20 national record for heptathlon and winning a major NCAA Big 12 track event, the 18-year-old track star was named the Big 12’s Female track and field athlete of the week. Schultz registered a new personal best
score of 6,021 points en route to winning the Jim Click Combined Events meet 10 days ago. A freshman at Kansas State, Schultz set personal bests in the 100-metre hurdles, shotput, 200m, long jump, javelin and 800m events. Her score also helped Kansas State jump 11 spots in the NCAA team rankings, climbing to 15th place.

LOW, Bessie Irene Bess was born in Riverhurst Saskatchewan on November 10, 1934, the third child to Henrietta and Alex Low. She excelled in school and especially in any sport in which she participated. Despite her many accomplishments including riding a scooter all through Europe, Bess remained completely modest. She spent many years in Burnaby and New Westminster. In these years she became an Electronic Microscopist working in cancer research, led a team to the Women’s Canadian curling championship, and spent many hours golfing with friends. Bess didn’t have her own children but has eight nieces and nephews who benefited greatly from having her as their Auntie. She is survived by her sister Ruth. Her cremation is being handled by Sands in Nanaimo and her ashes will be spread in the summer by her immediate family.
