ELECTION 2017

The final lap in a very tight race

By Theresa McManus, Cayley Dobie editorial@newwestrecord.ca

As the NewWestminster candidates head into the home stretch of the 2017 provincial election campaign, it’s anyone’s guess who is going to come out on top on election night.

While the NDP has a long history of winning in NewWestminster, many people think it will be a close race between NDP candidate/incumbent Judy Darcy and Green party candidate Jonina Campbell.

“I think it’s going to be a nail-biter night,” Campbell said. “I think it’s going to be a very close election.Voter turnout is probably the critical part in this.”

When third-party candidates have won in other jurisdictions, Campbell said it has usually occurred when there was a higher voter turnout.

“We are hearing a lot from people that they have voted NDP because they didn’t like the Liberals or they voted Liberal because they didn’t like the NDP, so they are really excited to vote for something. I think that will bring people out – the sense that it is not a shoo-in, they can make a difference,” she said. “People in NewWest have felt it didn’t matter before, it’s just always NDP.That to me speaks a lot that people want change, then they can come out and vote for change.”

City cops arrest high-risk offender

CASE CLOSED In 1996, 80-year-old Dorothy Darnel was attacked and sexually assaulted in her Eighth Street apartment. The suspect wasn’t caught until now. On Monday, police announced a 48-year-old Vancouver man had been charged. PHOTO RECORD ARCHIVES

DNA leads to charges in 20-year-old assault case ‘We never gave up on it, we didn’t stop looking and when that small piece of evidence came forward the members stepped up.’ – Chief Const. Dave Jones

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

“We never gave up on it, we didn’t stop looking and when that small piece of evidence came forward the members stepped up.”

And with that, New Westminster Chief Const.

Dave Jones closed a 21-year-old cold case.

At a press conference on Monday, the police chief commended his officers for securing charges against a 48-year-old Vancouver man for the vicious sexual assault of a New West senior in 1996.

Dorothy Darnel, 80 years old at the time, was asleep in her bed in the early morning hours of Oct. 4, when a man broke into her apartment at 310 Eighth St. and attacked her. The injuries he inflicted to her head and face were so severe they rendered her unconscious. It was then the suspect sexually assaulted her, according to police.

Jones is one of 12 mem-

Wanted: This sketch, released in 1996, was of the suspect. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

bers who were with the department at the time of the attack and who still work there today. He participated in the investigation and conducted the interview with Darnel following the incident while she was still in the hospital.

“This is a step towards closure of a very tragic incident, it’s not necessarily a happy day, it’s more about closure,” he said.

Darnel never returned to her Eighth Street apartment, according to Jones, but she went on to speak at several public safety forums about her experience.

“She was a strong woman, in that after interviewing her and spending time with her, she actually came back and made presentations to seniors’ centres and seniors’ groups on safety and what they could do to keep themselves safe.”

Darnel passed away in December 2015. She was 99 years old.

The initial investigation that took place in 1996 was led by eight full-time officers. Despite releasing a sketch of the suspect, who had been spotted fleeing Darnel’s apartment building by responding officers, he was never identified. There was also a $12,000 reward for information leading to an arrest posted by the New Westminster Police Board and an anonymous donor.

It took a matching DNA sample to help move the investigation along.

In March 2016, a DNA sample was collected from the scene of a break-andenter in Coquitlam. That sample matched the sample taken from the scene of Darnel’s attack and a man named James Gray.

Jones applauded the New West officers for their efforts putting together the case, which ended in Gray’s arrest and charges being laid, and thanked Coquitlam RCMP for their work gathering the DNA that would help identify Gray.

“For that we’re truly appreciative,” he said.

Gray is facing charges of aggravated sexual assault; breaking and entering; robbery; unlawful confinement; attempting to choke to overcome resistance; and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.

An offender police believed was a high risk to reoffend is behind bars after an incident at a store in New Westminster.

The New Westminster Police Department issued a statement last Thursday alerting residents that convicted criminal Jared Edward Harris was living in a New Westminster transition house after he’d received a peace bond for causing fear of sexual offence to someone under 14. Harris’ convictions include breaking and entering, assault with a weapon, forcible entry, indecent act, invitation to sexual touching and multiple breaches of court orders.

On April 28, the day after the police issued the public

warning, officers were contacted about an incident involving a man witnesses believed was Harris.

The incident in question took place on April 23 at a store in the 400 block of Columbia Street. At about 3 p.m., a man was spotted walking around the store masturbating. He left without incident.The man matched Harris’ description. He was arrested shortly after the report came in, according to a press release.

Harris has since been charged with one count of indecent act and two counts of failure to comply with his court-ordered conditions.

‘Dangerous’ tree is invading his yard

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A West End resident is hoping the city will get to the root of a thorny issue in his neighbourhood.

John Unger urged council to remove five acacia trees that are growing on the city’s boulevard in the 1400 block of Dublin Street.

“They are dangerous,” he told council.

To prove his point, Unger brought samples of the acacia trees’ roots and thorny branches.

“If it was just the roots, I could deal with that. But the thorns on these things are incredible.They will hook you,” he said. “My grandchildren can’t even run in the front yard.”

Unger said he’s raised

concerns about the trees with city staff for years, but has been told it’s too expensive to remove the trees.

“We have been dealing with this for 10 years,” he said. “There were nine trees originally planted; there are five left.What’s happening is, and according to the B.C. Horticultural Society, the city has planted what they consider to be an invasive tree.”

Despite the acacia trees’ “incredible” scent, Unger said they are messy as they have aphids in the summer.

Most concerning is the fact that the roots have travelled up to 50 feet from the tree and popped up in residents’ yards.

Council referred the matter to the city’s director of parks and recreation.

Problem trees: John Unger is appealing to the city to remove the acacia trees from the boulevard in front of his home. He says they are dangerous.

TREE REMOVAL PERMIT

The City of New Westminster has introduced a city-wide Urban Forest Management Strategy that will provide direction for protecting, maintaining and enhancing New Westminster’s urban forest.

The Urban Forest Management Strategy also includes a new Tree Protection Bylaw that protects and regulates the removal of trees on private and City-owned land. Residents who wish to cut or remove a tree on their property must make an application and receive a permit under provision of this Bylaw.

The Bylaw regulates the cutting or removal of trees on private property that measure 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter or more as measured at 1.3 m (4 feet and 3 inches) above ground level. The application fee is $75.00. The permit fees range from $50 - $150 per tree removed depending upon the site specific circumstances.

Judy Darcy: Passion.

Energy. Getting results.

“I’ve sat down and talked with so many families, individuals, groups, and business owners about what matters most to you. Together I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished – the new NWSS, a Rent Bank to prevent homelessness, a specialized clinic for the survivors of childhood cancer, and many more wins for individuals and families. Imagine what we can accomplish with a John Horgan government that is actually working for you.”

Our priorities for New Westminster families • take real action on housing affordability for both renters and home owners;

• fund the full 40% of the mayor’s transit & transportation plan, and start the Pattullo Bridge replacement;

• bring in a $10/day childcare program for safe, quality, affordable care;

• raise the minimum wage while cutting small business taxes;

• invest in seniors’ care so our parents, grandparents and loved ones get the dignified care they deserve;

• make it easier for students with interest-free BC student loans, a $1000 completion grant, and make Adult Basic Education and ESL courses free

• build team-based Family & Urgent Care Centres for access to everyday health care, and reduce health care wait lists ; • restore funding to classrooms and make our public schools seismically safe;

• take real action on climate change with firm targets; respect First Nations rights and title in BC

“Judy Darcy is a singularly remarkable Canadian who has made an enormous difference for people in her work so far. I can only imagine what she could accomplish in government.”

Stephen Lewis, humanitarian and former Ambassador to the U.N.

”Judy Darcy has always respected and supported the Qayqayt First Nation. She has a deep understanding of First Nations rights in BC. I know her to be a genuine person who is committed to doing the hard work of reconciliation.”

Rhonda Larrabee, Chief, Qayqayt First Nation

“Judy Darcy and John Horgan’s NDP have a strong plan for transit and affordable housing. These are two critical issues facing our region and city that we need to fight for in this provincial election.”

Jonathan Cote, Mayor “Judy has been a strong and effective MLA for all of us in New Westminster. I’m so impressed with all she’s achieved in four short years: finally a new high school, care for survivors of childhood cancer, and help for renters. She’s got my vote and she deserves yours too!” former MP & MLA Dawn Black Authorized by Cheryl Greenhalgh, Financial Agent 604-553-7999

Opinion OUR VIEW

Trust your own thinking and vote Angus Reid, a well-respected pollster and sociologist, when asked this week what he thought the top election issue in B.C. was said ‘trust.’

Who do you trust, who can you trust, what promises made will be kept and why do candidates deserve your trust? All good questions, and all for the most part involve very personal judgments.

As a media source we

provide as much news, candidate questions and answers, and opinion pieces that we can work on and fit in during a pretty short campaign. It’s never as much as we’d like to publish or put on our website, but we think it offers readers a solid local starting point.

But voters need to educate themselves, question their assumptions and engage in the electoral process to truly be part of what is

a very precious democratic process.

We don’t endorse candidates as other newspapers do or have done.We think it’s a bit arrogant to assume we either know what’s best for you, or have some special superior knowledge that gives us that right.

On the subject of trust, we also don’t advise you on who we may think is the most trustworthy candidate.

We simply trust in our read-

ers to try to make sense of it all and vote with their hearts and minds.

What one voter may believe is a key issue may be what another voter doesn’t give a hoot about. Some people vote the party, others vote the candidate. Some, unfortunately, don’t even bother to vote.To those folks we say, as we always do, don’t whine and complain later if you can’t be bothered to get out once

every four years and mark a ballot.

This is an important election.They all are.Whatever the pollsters may try to tell you, the results are not a foregone conclusion.

By all accounts, this election could go almost any way in New Westminster’s two ridings. As one candidate told the Record, “it’s a crap shoot.”We agree.

This may be one of those elections where a very small

number of votes will determine the winner – or losers.

Your vote counts.

So whether you are determining who to vote for by their trustworthiness or what party’s policy is dear to you, exercise your democratic right. And, at the very least, trust your own thinking.

At least then you only have yourself to blame if you’ve picked the wrong candidate.

MY VIEW PAT MCLELLAN

A case of apples and oranges

Late last week on my way out the door I found a glossy card on the floor of my porch from a group called “Reasonable Heritage.”This card had a bold headline that asks the question: “What will a 17 per cent drop in land value mean to your family?”

The other side of the card shows the effects a heritage conservation area (HCA) would have on six houses in the Queen’s Park area.

It went on to offer their opinion of what could happen in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood with regards to the proposed heritage conservation area currently before the city and the potential financial fallout of this proposal on the houses in this area.

I was intrigued by these numbers, as a 17 per cent reduction in anyone’s property would be a cause for worry. I wasn’t quite sure where I could corroborate their statement, but I saw both B.C. Assessment and the HCA homes in Shaughnessy mentioned in their pamphlet, so I thought I could start there.

I know that comparing Queen’s Park with First Shaughnessy is a little like comparing apples with oranges; they are both fruit, but that’s where it ends.

I knew that some members of the Shaughnessy Heights Property Owners Association had taken the City of Vancouver to court about the creation of an HCA in First Shaughnessy District (FSD), so I followed that source. I found

a report presented by Mary Anne Cummings (one of the litigants) that presented some early data on the effect of the HCA on the prices in First Shaughnessy District.

There were 24 house sales between October 2015 and August 2016 (the HCA went into effect on Sept. 29, 2015), with 12 houses from the pre-1940 list (the cutoff for the HCA) and 12 houses from the post-1940 list, which were outside the HCA. Of the 12 houses in the HCA, seven sold for more than their most recent B.C. Assessment and five sold for less than their B.C. Assessment.

Of the 12 houses from the post-1940 list, five sold for more than their assessments and seven sold for less.

I also checked the assessments for this year and the previous year for this list of homes and only found one of the 24 where the land portion was less this year than last. All the homes’ total assessments were higher than the previous year.

I followed that up with looking at recent home sales in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood.

They begin in May 2016 through to this week with 14 sales that I could find. Of the 14 sales, nine were over the B.C. Assessment for this year and five were lower. Of the fiver lower houses, two were within a few thousand dollars of their assessment.

B.C. Assessment came out earlier this year and Continued on page 7

Murder trial begins

The trial for Angela Richards’ killer began in February 1994. Counsel told the court Wayne Alexander Perkin stabbed his neighbour to death after refusing sexual advances. Perkin’s sister told the B.C. Supreme Court her brother had seen Angela, shown her some kickboxing moves and “given her a friendly bite on the arm.” Richards, then 24, was found dead in June 1992. Perkin was later convicted of her murder. He requested DNA sample testing in 2007 and was granted day parole in 2014.

Opinion INBOX

Does candidate think we’re all a ‘basket of deplorables’?

Dear Editor: The comments attributed to Ms. Brett during the all-candidates meeting are really a slap in the face to those who live in New Westminster. Now I suspect that in the enclave she lives in there may be a few who agree with her and will vote for her.

For Ms. Brett to make a comment that people are afraid to put a Liberal sign on their lawn smacks of a “basket of deplorables” comment that may have cost Ms. Clinton the presidency.

I am sure if the riding was mostly Liberal country she would not be complaining about how unhealthy it is to have one party dominate the scene.

Stephen Laurie, New Westminster

Heritage plans unfair to some homeowners Dear Editor: I am a Queen’s Park resident who is opposed to this neighbourhood being declared a heritage conservation area.

My understanding of the proposal is that it will prohibit the teardown of homes built prior to 1950, without special approval being granted; and that all homes will be subject to various other renovation restrictions.

This proposal, disproportionately and unfairly, impacts those of us who own houses built prior to 1950 which are not grand and impressive heritage homes. Those beautiful homes, generously scattered throughout the neighbourhood, will always be valued for their heritage qualities. They are not the target of developers; they are worth significantly more than their lot value; their market will continue to be buyers who cherish and value those homes for their style. This heritage conservation proposal has no negative impact on them.

The same is not true for the owners of more modest homes built prior to 1950, or those with less heritage appeal. This proposal unfairly limits options for these owners. The owners of these homes may wish to do significant renovations; they may wish to rebuild; they may wish to sell to developers. These owners should not be faced with more expense and red tape to proceed with these options. It will reduce property values – particularly for homes which are lot value only. Queen’s Park will lose out on the addition of new homes and the improvement of these types of properties.

I have lived in this city for the better part of the past 40 years; for much longer than that Queen’s Park has been known for its heritage homes, wide boulevards and tree-lined streets.

Residents pay a premium to live here because of this. There is no pressing risk to the character of this neighbourhood. It does appear, however, there is a pressing risk to the freedom of choice and to the property rights of the homeowners in this neighbourhood.

What is the concern? That outsiders will come in and change the character of our neighbourhood? This is a concern without any basis in reality. And, in my view, if an owner prefers a more unique, non-‘heritage’ style, they should be allowed to express that style. It is, after all, their house.

Anne Demeulemeester, New Westminster

Heritage supporters not a ‘small group’ Dear Editor: After reading your article last week regarding the implementation of a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park, I feel the need to respond to a couple of comments included in the piece.

I am a Queen’s Park resident who is fully supportive of a heritage conservation area (HCA) that protects the look and value of my neighbourhood, and I am not part of a “small group of preservationists.” Many of the homeowners in Queen’s Park feel as I do, but it’s not been up to us to drive the process. That has been the job of the working group, which was put in place to investigate a Queen’s Park HCA, and is made up of a group of 12 members selected by council and representing a cross-section of Queen’s Park. Their mandate was never to create a museum but rather to investigate how to keep the neighbourhood vital and progressive while preserving the heritage character, which makes it such an attractive place to live.

The opponents to the process have made a very offensive assumption that, because I support the concept, I obviously don’t fully understand the implications of the policy. I would argue the reverse is more likely the case since opponents are basing their arguments on reports and information unrelated to an HCA and are focusing their energies on instilling fear in homeowners that there is a certainty of declining property values – something not based in fact.

As for the quote from Mr. Fox, which states that the process is speeding down the runway, I’m thinking he has missed his flight entirely since this project has been going on for three years … hardly breakneck speed, and with ample opportunity for the community to be heard. The process has involved hours of investigation, education and research into what makes a heritage conservation area successful and of benefit to its residents, so it’s somewhat of an insult to those who have donated their time to suggest that the process was at all hurried.

Queen’s Park still hot Continued from page 6 stated that people may be surprised at their assessments as they reflected the heated market the Lower Mainland had been experiencing the last couple of years, and that it might not be a true reflection of their home’s value.

I can’t see where the 17 per cent drop in value comes from based on this information, and it seems there are still people willing to buy homes in Queen’s Park even with the HCA potentially looming down the road.

One last point: I know one of the people whose home was on this pamphlet showing what houses in Queen’s Park were possibly going to lose with an HCA. Not only had she not given permission to show her house in this way, she is a strong supporter of the HCA. Obviously a mistake was made in this regard, leaving one to consider what other mistakes might be on it.

ANALYSIS: THE RIDING IN A NUTSHELL

Judy Darcy NDP

Jonina Campbell Green

Lorraine Brett Liberal

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? I’m lucky to have a few: successful campaigning to protect Canada’s water, achieving breakthroughs on child and seniors’ care, spearheading the rent bank and working collaboratively for a new NWSS.

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? My biggest success in life is my three children. They have taught me so much about what is important in life and why we need strong, livable communities for everyone.

BIGGEST SUCCESS IN LIFE? Raising three boys with my husband of 36 years in a city I love! This is what I am most proud of.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? I regret not having learned more about my father’s Jewish heritage – which he kept a secret to protect his children because he lost family members in the Holocaust.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA I’ve worked hard on the issues that matter most in our community. I am kind of unstoppable!

In a John Horgan government, I’ll be a strong voice for New Westminster.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? Favourite book: A Fine Balance

by Rohinton Mistry.

It’s an incredibly powerful story that speaks to me about our natural human tendency to care and to love, even in very difficult circumstances.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? My biggest regret in life was not trying out for college basketball because I was more afraid of being cut than taking the risk and making the team.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA I have a proven record of bringing people together to accomplish our common goals. I believe in doing what’s right for the people I represent, not for special interest groups.

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? My favourite book is the Nancy Drew (series) because as a child my mom read them out loud to me and she’d always read another chapter because they ended in suspense.

BIGGEST FAILURE OR REGRET IN LIFE? I endure a lot of heartache seeing one of my sons endure mental illness, addiction and homelessness.

WHY I WOULD MAKE A GREAT MLA My heart is deeply rooted in this city and I know intimately the issues that are important to voters. If elected, I will be a strong voice for New Westminster ...* FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE? Favourite book: Absolutely, the Lord of the Rings. Wonderful characters that summon the courage to face peril and defeat evil inspire me to be brave in my own life. * Candidates were given 30-word limits for each answer. Longer answers have been cut off at the word limit.

Social Credit candidate James Crosty had not declared his candidacy at the time these questionnaires were sent out for the print edition.

His answers can be found on our website at www. newwestrecord.ca

BACKGROUND: Aside from the 2001 provincial election, when the Liberals swept to power and only two New Democrats were elected to the legislature, New Westminster has a longstanding tradition of voting NDP. Since 1952, Royal City residents have elected the NDP (or its Cooperative Commonwealth Federation predecessor) in all but that one election.

In the May 2013 provincial election, six candidates – a Liberal, an independent, a Libertarian, a New Democrat, a Conservative and a Green – vied to be New Westminster’s MLA. NDP candidate Judy Darcy came out on top and won the seat with 13,170 (48.84 per cent) votes, followed by the Liberals at 8,997 votes and the Greens at 2,252 votes.

Since the last trip to the polls, New Westminster has been divided into two ridings as a result of recommendations by the Electoral Boundaries Commission.

Mainland residents will still vote in the New Westminster riding, but ‘Boro residents are now part of the newly created RichmondQueensborough riding.

DEMOGRAPHICS: According to the 2011 census, the population of New Westminster was 58,850 – with females slightly outnumbering males. The median age of residents was 41.9.

New Westminster is a diverse city, with 17,590 people speaking non-official languages and English being the mother tongue of 38,280 residents. The top six non-official languages in 2011 were: Filipino (Tagalog); Chinese (Mandarin); Chinese (other/unspecified); Korean; Punjabi; and Spanish. The closure of mills has forced the city to rethink its economic development initiatives, with health care and technology jobs taking on a greater role. Enticed by the changes underway in the city, many newcomers are moving into homes in the city’s established neighbourhoods and new condos. Whether the city’s growth and changing population affects traditional voting patterns remains to be seen.

HOT ISSUES Housing has toppled transportation as the top issue in New Westminster, where

housing prices have soared, vacancy rates for rentals are low, families are in search of housing diversity and homelessness is on the rise. Like the rest of B.C., single-family homes in New West are quickly becoming unaffordable for many young families. With 44 per cent of New Westminster households being renters, many tenants are having to contend with low vacancy rates and rising rents.

Metro Vancouver’s recent homeless count found there were 25 per cent more homeless people in New Westminster than three years ago, slightly lower than the regional average of 30 per cent. By partnering with the province and non-profit groups, the city has provided housing for folks who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Still, the city and the region are hoping to make homelessness an issue in the election as they want the province to do more to address the rising number of homeless people.

While housing is a major issue, transportation continues to be a major concern for residents. New Westminster has been working with the province on plans to replace the Pattullo Bridge, but the TransLink and the Mayors’ Council on regional transportation, including representation from New Westminster, continue to seek the province’s financial support for transportation and transit issues in the growing region.

WHAT TO EXPECT? Three high-profile candidates known for their hard work in the community are leading the pack in New Westminster. While Judy Darcy has made her mark on the city and served as the NDP’s health critic, the Liberals didn’t do too shabbily in 2013 and Lorraine Brett is a longtime resident and volunteer in New West. The Greens haven’t been a threat locally in the past, but they didn’t have a high-profile candidate like Jonina Campbell, who has made a name for herself as a local school trustee. Given the number of green and orange signs popping up around town, we can’t help but think this could be one of the more interesting races to watch in B.C.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY May 4, 2017 11

City

Old Gas Works building’s days are numbered Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A lasting reminder of NewWestminster’s industrial history is set to be demolished.

On Monday, council endorsed the demolition process for the GasWorks Building at 231 12th St. A portion of the 1886 building’s roof caved in in March 2016, and it’s felt the building can’t be saved.

“That is not possible,” said Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services. “In fact, the owner of the building – the province – is requesting a demolition permit because the building is currently not structurally sound and there are people camping on the site, there is access to the site, and there are life-safety issues.”

A staff report states the province is concerned someone could be injured or die if the building collapses and has asked the city to issue a demolition permit so it can be quickly and safely re-

moved. Concerns have also been raised about the safety of first responders if the building were to collapse and they had to search for inured people in the rubble.

“As a heritage issue, it’s tragic,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy. “It’s just tragic that it’s reached a point where it could fall down on somebody, and attempts to preserve some bigger portions of it would probably result in collapse.”

The GasWorks building is deemed to have high heritage value, both locally and provincially, because it’s the oldest remaining industrial building in NewWestminster and one of only three similar structures in B.C. As part of the demolition application, the city is asking the province to provide substantial documentation of the building before it’s demolished.

“This would include photographs, dimensioned drawings and a survey of the building footprint,” said the staff report. “Additionally, the province would be asked

to notify the city’s museum and archives in the event that any historic artifacts were uncovered during the demolition process.”

Usable bricks will be retained and stored on-site so they can be repurposed on the site when it’s developed in the future.

“The proposal is that in addition to creating the heritage record, that approximately 2,000 bricks from the building would be saved,”Teed said. “Those bricks would be repurposed on-site to create some kind of commemorative structure as part of the public park that’s intended to be a portion of the site.”

Through the years, the city and the province have discussed the fate of the building, including the province transferring the property to the City of NewWestminster as free Crown land.

“It’s just sad,” McEvoy said. “This is an issue that has been in our community for so many years. There were previous times when it was offered to the city and

got caught up in the issue of who pays for the pollution. … I think it’s a tragedy that it’s gotten to this point. I really do.”

Maureen Arvanitidis, a member of the NewWestminster Heritage Preservation Society’s board of directors, urged the city to

consider whether there could be another option for the site.

“I think it is a building we have always wanted to see saved. One thing that I’m not clear on is whether you have considered selling the property to a reputable developer and giving them

lots of incentives to retain at least a portion of the building, if not all of the building.

I know it’s not your building and it belongs to the province,” she said. “I do think that before you actually approve the demolition that you look at private interests as well as an option.”

A closer look - it’s a three-woman race in New Westminster

It’s certainly never happened in New Westminster before. Perhaps, it’s never happened in B.C. before. The three candidates representing the three major political parties in B.C. running in this city are all women. Does this make a difference? Should it make a difference? We asked the three candidates some questions about gender in politics and in their personal lives. Candidates were limited to 70 words per answer.

WHO IS, OR WAS, A WOMAN ROLE MODEL WHO INSPIRED YOU TO ENTER POLITICS. AND WHY WAS SHE INSPIRING? Joyce Murray, former New Westminster B.C. Liberal MLA and cabinet minister, is the person who encouraged me to run for office after I worked on her 2005 campaign. Joyce inspired me with her leadership, intelligence, experience, hard work and integrity. Her incredible determination and grit gave me confidence that I, too, could achieve great things. Joyce taught me that politics is a noble and worthy pathway to serving my community.

Dawn Black and Carole James are courageous, passionate and principled leaders who are committed to making life better for people - not driven by self-interest. I am also inspired by countless women who contribute enormously and remain unrecognized. Women who educate our children, care for seniors. Women who start a small business. Female first responders.

Newcomers who have had to overcome huge obstacles. I am in awe of them all!

I grew up surrounded by strong women. My mom, aunts and grandmother were all active community volunteers. My grandmother grew up on a farm in Manitoba at a time when the one-room school house and community hall were built by the community working together. I’ve always had that sense that if you care about something, you need to bring people together and work hard to make a difference.

AS A YOUNG GIRL GROWING UP WHEN DID YOU FIRST NOTICE THAT SEXISM EXISTED? EXPLAIN. My very progressive parents instilled in me the idea that I should resist gender norms and believe that I could be anyone I wanted to be. A child of the 1960s, I grew up with a sense of empowerment and boldness that I carry with me to this day. I do not take my gender empowerment for granted. I have had a strong interest in gender studies my whole adult life.

For me, it was watching my mother confined by traditional expectations of women in the family - and seeing the toll it took on her. I have had the opportunity to take on challenging careers and raise a child. My mother didn’t have those choices. And there are many women, still, who have so much to contribute, but are limited by low wages, lack of child care, education or other barriers.

The first experience I can recall where I encountered sexism was in a Grade 8 all-girls woodworking class.

In the first class the teacher asked us to figure out how to open the shop garage door. There was a trick to it, which he did not share with us. After several failed attempts, he laughed and replied, “This is why girls shouldn’t be allowed to take shop.”

DID THAT CHANGE YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD, IF SO HOW? My awareness of sexism has guided many of my decisions is life and most of all caused me to reject the concept of rigid gender-based “roles” and behaviours.

I am keenly aware of the adverse impact of judgmental, narrow and pejorative gender stereotypes. We should resist orthodox positions of what women should or should not be doing in their careers and families.

I began working for women’s equality in my late teens – and I haven’t stopped! Equal pay, child care, violence against women, LGBTQ rights, racial equality, harassment and bullying in the workplace and in schools.

These are issues that have been at the heart of the work I’ve done for many years.

If anything, it made me very determined to prove my shop teacher wrong and anyone else who thought less of girls and women.

WHEN HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED SEXISM WHILE RUNNING IN THIS RACE, AND HOW HAVE YOU DEALT WITH IT? When you run a campaign sometimes you get mean and negative comments. That includes sexist comments. But you can’t take it personally. We all want to make sure our kids and grandkids are set up for the brightest future we can give them. That’s what you have to keep in mind and work towards.

New Westminster has a long tradition of electing strong women like Anita Hagen and Dawn Black. I think as a community there is a lot of support for women to lead. I am much more concerned about tackling the barriers that many women in our community face: Low wages, lack of affordable child care, caring for aging parents and children without the support and services they need.

I had a supporter comment that all three candidates onstage at the Chamber of Commerce all-candidates forum were women. New Westminster is a forwardthinking community that is inclusive and welcoming, which is why my experience as a female candidate has been very positive.

DO YOU THINK CHRISTY CLARK IS TREATED DIFFERENTLY BY THE MEDIA BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN? Absolutely. There is a false narrative in our public discourse that women on the left are fighting for women’s rights whereas women on the right are merely the puppets of powerful men. It’s this pure sexism that may explain why John Horgan’s suggestive leering and voyeuristic comments during the first leaders’ debate have not been more roundly condemned by the media.

Horgan’s sexism towards Clark should have disqualified him immediately.

You can’t turn sexism off like a light switch, so I think all women in politics face a double standard whether we like it or not. However, the B.C. media has dropped the ball in holding Christy Clark to account for so many of her terrible policy decisions, decisions that have hurt women and families in our community and across B.C.

This is not an area I have enough background knowledge on to make an informed comment.

WHAT SINGLE ITEM IN YOUR PARTY’S PLATFORM WOULD MAKE THE BIGGEST IMPROVEMENT IN WOMEN’S LIVES? I think the best way to champion the advancement of women in B.C. is to have women in positions of leadership, which one of the many reasons why I support Christy Clark and one of the reasons I am running for political office.

We will bring in a universal, safe, quality, affordable child-care program. Child-care advocates have worked on this plan for years, consulted widely, learned from other places, and put together the best, most practical system that will work for B.C. families. Right now, families are paying what amounts to a second mortgage for child care, or many women are not able to return to work because they just can’t afford it.

The B.C. Greens platform has made education and lifelong learning our number 1 priority. Through education we can build a more equitable and prosperous society for everyone. Our commitments to child care, income equity and affordable housing will also make significant difference to the lives of women.

HOW HAVE OTHER WOMEN SUPPORTED YOU IN YOUR LIFE? AND HOW HAS THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR YOU? There are many trailblazing women in my life who I have looked up to as examples of courage and fortitude. This has helped me to take on risks and great challenges in the face of many hurdles and obstacles.

I was particularly uplifted as a contributor and compiler of the 2012 book Grace Grit and Gusto: Profiles of Remarkable Royal City Women about 40 incredible women, past and present.

I treasure all the women who have mentored, supported and challenged me. Rosemary Brown taught us that it’s not enough for women to break through the glass ceiling as individual symbols – we need to change the system for everyone. I have broken through a lot of doors in my life, but I’ve also worked to continually break down barriers, open doors and make life better for all women.

I have been fortunate to be supported by many strong women in my life. In particular, my mom, who raised three children as a single parent while working full-time and earning her university degree, has been a source of unending inspiration and support. My campaign team is also made up of several incredible women who are some of the hardest working, caring and smartest people I know.

A CLOSER LOOK: POLITICS ARE PERSONAL

From renters to owners: they all have a stake in the race Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Housing has leapfrogged transportation to rank as the top concern in the Royal City for many residents – no surprise, really, given the affordability crisis on the housing front in B.C. On one extreme, homelessness continues to grow across Metro Vancouver, including a 25 per cent increase in New West in the past three years. For those who do have a roof over the heads, the

This is changing the social fabric of our city and breaking up longtime relationships

situation isn’t always peachy keen, as vacancy rates remain at low levels (in a city where 44 per cent of residents live in rental accommodations) and the price of single-family homes has skyrocketed and made home ownership but a dream for many.

And just where do local candidates fit into that housing landscape? The Record sent questionnaires on housing to 10 candidates in the New Westminster and Richmond-Queensborough ridings and discovered they’re living in a variety of different housing situations.

While some own single-family homes or condos, some rent and others live in extended family arrangements.Those who own homes or condos consider themselves fortunate and worry about what soaring prices mean for current and future residents – including their kids.

“I have friends that have moved out of the city and others that can’t find or afford the cost of rental accommodation,” said James Crosty, a Social Credit candidate in New Westminster. “This is changing the social fabric of our city and breaking up longtime relationships.”

A 27-year resident of the Royal City, Crosty and his partner own a condo at the Quay where they provide home care for their 92-year-old mother. After renting for many years, the couple was able to buy a condo in 2002 when the owners wanted to sell and

they were able to exercise an option to buy.

New Westminster Green candidate Jonina Campbell and her husband bought a home in Queen’s Park nearly 11 years ago – at a time when the housing market was more accessible than

I worry, like many parents, that our children will not be able to afford a home

it is today.

“I worry, like many parents, that our children will not be able to afford a home in the city they grew up in,” she said.

Like Campbell, New Westminster Liberal candidate Lorraine Brett and her husband bought a house in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood in 1997, long before the neighbourhood was filled with million-dollar homes.

“Now, like many ‘empty nesters,’ we wrestle with the concept of downsizing. Due to the relative unaffordability of other housing

options, we’ve found that ‘aging in place’ is our best option,” she said. “The affordability of agingin-place is an issue, which may be helped by densification strategies such as laneway housing.”

New Westminster NDP candidate Judy Darcy and her partner own a two-bedroom condo in the Victoria Hill neighbourhood.

“We bought our condo in 2013.

We sold a townhouse to move to a condominium and it was a surprise how the prices had risen,” she said. “Our son is now grown, but if we were a young family starting out now looking for two or three bedrooms, we would be in a very different situation.”

The New Westminster candidates all own homes or condos in the riding, but it’s a bit of a different story among the RichmondQueensborough candidates.

Green Party candidate Michael Wolf rents two places, one in Vancouver’s Cambie Village and another in Richmond’s West Cambie.While both he and his wife are secondary school teachers, he said the market situation is pricing them out of the market in communities where they have lived for years.

Election2017 Candidates share their housing stories Continued from page 15 “I don’t want to buy another property here,” she said. “Renting is a better option for me.”

As a renter, Hale said paying a fixed rent on a monthly basis enables her to budget on her fixed income and she doesn’t have to pay the “overly inflated property tax, which have increased for homeowners based on the recent overstated property value.”

Liberal candidate Jas Johal owns a home in Tsawwassen that he and his wife were able to purchase in 2006.

“My wife and I rented for many years, and worked hard to save for a down payment,” he said. “We know how daunting that first mortgage feels like.”

NDP candidate Aman Singh said he lived in East Richmond for 23 years, but currently lives in an extend-

ed-family situation with his parents at their home in North Delta.

“After 16 years of neglect by this government, even as a successful lawyer who has been working as such for almost 18 years, I can’t afford buying into this housing

I can’t afford buying into this housing market market,” he said. “I am fortunate that I live in an extended family system. Not everyone is so fortunate.”

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY May 4, 2017 17

Election2017

It’s a horse race in New West’s two ridings Continued from page 1 Darcy is focusing on her campaign – not on election predictions.

“I am going to leave that to the voters to decide. I don’t make predictions. I think there is tremendous support for the NDP,” she said. “People know my record. One of the things that has been really encouraging is the level of recognition on the doorstep. People know me; they know my record.

They talk to me about the issues I have worked on, like getting bus service restored on a couple of important routes, the rent bank, advocating for seniors care.”

As the election campaign heads into the home stretch, at least one poll shows the NDP in the lead among decided voters.

“The polls have been wrong more often than they are right.We are taking nothing for granted. I am just redoubling my efforts to work morning, noon and night. Really, polls have been shown to be meaningless.What matters is what you hear on the doorstep, your record,” Darcy said.

“People desperately want a change. It is visceral. It’s very profound how much people want change. I think they have been given some really clear choices in this election. Are we going to have a premier that is looking out for the wealthy and the powerful or are we going to have a premier and a government that is working for you? I think that is really what the ballot box questions boil down to.”

New Westminster Liberal candidate Lorraine Brett believes British Columbians will respond to the “amazing success” of the economy while the Liberals have been in power.

“I can only speak about my campaign. I see a definite resonance with voters, especially those who are

undecided,” Brett said. “I think I have the potential to win this.”

James Crosty, one of two candidates running for the B.C. Social Credit Party in B.C., repeatedly hears that people are tired of the NDP and Liberals. He’d love to see the Socreds and the Greens finish in the top spots in New Westminster but anticipates it will be “a dog race” between the NDP and the Greens.

No stranger to local politics, Crosty believes the NDP’s support is slipping, the Greens are engaging young voters and the Liberals have run a weak campaign in New Westminster.

“What will happen? I really think New West is a crapshoot,” he said. “It doesn’t matter who gets in: We are going to be in the same boat we have been in for the last 30 years – out of government.That’s my feeling.”

New Westminster candidates will be campaigning hard in the final days of the campaign, with Darcy and Brett focusing on door knocking. Campbell and her team will be waving signs, holding a youth pizza night, enjoying a meal at Burger Heaven and doing daily door knocking, accompanied by Green Party of B.C. leader Andrew Weaver on Sunday.

IN THE ’BOROUGH Over in RichmondQueensborough, the race is shaping up to be as exciting as its counterpart in New Westminster, as two major issues have been thrust into the spotlight since the battle began for this fledgling riding – housing affordability and the George Massey Tunnel replacement project.

“In terms of issues, affordability is the key issue here. Even the older generation who has houses, they have a concern

Advance voting up If advance voter turnout is any indication, there could be a jump in the number of ballots cast in the 2017 provincial election compared to the 2013 election.

During the first two days of advance polls, 3,409 voters cast ballots in New Westminster compared to 2,354 in the first two days of the 2013 provincial election.

Over in the new riding of Richmond-Queensborough, 2,071 voters took advantage of advance polls last weekend.

While there aren’t any exact numbers to compare that to, in the 2013 provincial election 1,114 people voted in the first two days of advance voting in the Richmond East riding, the predecessor of the current riding.

Advance voting continues until Sunday. Polls are open May 4 (today), 5 and 6 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. To find an advance polling station, go to elections.bc.ca/wtv.

RALLYING FOR A CAUSE

A group of New West parents turned out for a “stroller brigade” on Saturday, April 29, walking in support of the $10/ day child-care plan being promoted by the NDP. As the campaign enters its final days, local candidates are aiming to keep their public profiles high in what’s shapingup to be a close race.

Expect to see doorknocking and signwaving as part of the final weekend push in what’s being predicted to be a threeway race for the MLA’s seat in New Westminster.

for their children. I have seen families whose children have moved back in or whose children are older and they’re not moving out because of the affordability crisis,” NDP candidate Aman Singh told the Record.

The Liberals’ decision to approve the George Massey tunnel replacement project, which would see the tunnel replaced with a brand new bridge, is not sitting well with some residents in Richmond-Queensborough, according to candidates.That became especially clear when protesters crashed a B.C. Liberal Party campaign event attended by leader Christy Clark last month.

B.C. Green Party candidate Michael Wolfe said he’s been surprised by the number of people who’ve come out against the tunnel replacement and new bridge.

He said he’s spoken with residents who feel the Liberals are pushing too hard for the new bridge despite pleas to stop the project.

“To hear from so many people who’ve been Liberal supporters, who’ve been NDP supporters and they’re just like, ‘Why now?

I can’t believe this.This

needs to be stopped.This is going to wreck our community,’” he said.

But that’s not the only concern Wolfe is hearing at the doorsteps.

“I’ve been hearing frustrations with people who have voted one way for a long time that are just completely fed up with the system – the political system, (and) the lack of representation that they feel and that MLAs provide,” he said.

For folks in Queensborough, some are still grappling with Elections B.C.’s decision to separate the two parts of New Westminster and to merge Queensborough with Richmond East.

“Many of them (residents) were surprised they were in this new riding, and most of them are concerned that they’re going to be left out, that their voices won’t be heard,”Wolfe said.

Liberal candidate Jas Johal agreed, saying most residents he’s spoken to are concerned about being forgotten after the election.

Singh likened Queensborough to a village, where everyone knows everyone.

B.C. Conservative candidate Kay Hale knows this all too well. She was called out for referring to Queensbor-

ough as Hamilton during the one and only all-candidates meeting held in the ’Boro last month.

Hale lamented there weren’t more debates held in Queensborough.

“I didn’t feel the way the debates were done did any justice to the residents of Queensborough because outside of the first debate that we had at the community centre in Queensborough, the rest of the debates were all in the heart of Richmond,” Hale said.

With the final week of the campaign in full swing, candidates are focusing on getting supporters to the polls.

“My sign requests in the last few days has been in Queensborough. I was just out there last night at 10 o’clock putting up more signs. And I’m going there for the weekend,”Wolfe said.

He’s hopeful the push by New Westminster Green candidate Jonina Campbell will have an overflow effect on voters in Queensborough who are ready for a change in leadership.

He isn’t the only one.

Hale wants to see a more balanced legislature and to achieve that she’s encouraging residents to vote for a

candidate, not a party.

“There’s such a broad demographic in British Columbia generally, and I think we need a balanced government in Victoria, and people should go out and vote for the candidate they think will be there for them,” she said.

Johal intends to keep up the door knocking (he’s already burned through a couple pairs of shoes, he said).

“To win is to really make sure we articulate what we’ve been able to accomplish and then moving forward on some key projects in and around the riding.

Each corner, each neighbourhood is a little different,” he added.

Johal is hopeful residents will stick with the Liberals come May 9. Before it became Richmond-Queensborough, Richmond East had been held by a Liberal MLA for more than four decades.

“I’m hoping that changes on May 9,” Singh said.

But whatever the results, everyone agrees it’s still too close to call.

“It’s going to be a very tight race,” Singh said.

THIS WEE WEEK’S SOLDS

Three hopefuls face off at candidates’ meeting Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The NDP needs to go.

The Liberals need to go.

The Greens are the way to go.

Those were some of the messages put forward at the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce’s all-candidates meeting at the Justice Institute on April 25, where Green candidate Jonina Campbell, NDP candidate Judy Darcy and Liberal candidate Lorraine Brett fielded a variety of businessrelated questions.

Brett said she’d like to be part of Christy Clark’s team in Victoria.

“The number one problem facing NewWestminster business is the NDP. New Westminster has a history of being an NDP stronghold and as a result we have a reputation of being antibusiness,” she said. “As we all know, as business people you would know, perception is reality. The NDP’s rhet-

oric is toxic to business. It’s that simple.”

Campbell, who has served as a school trustee since 2011, said she’s knocked on thousands of doors in the lead-up to the election.

“If there’s one thing I keep hearing over and over again is that it’s time for change. People are tired in B.C. of the negative, polarized partisan politics that have taken grip of the legislature. People have told me they want positive leaders who will work across party lines, people who are issue-based and are going to make decisions based on the evidence and what is the right thing to do,” Campbell said. “People have told me they want leaders who will put the community first and don’t have to vote on party line, but what is in the best interests of the people and the businesses in New West.”

Incumbent MLA Judy Darcy said she has worked

day and night on behalf of local residents in Victoria and hopes to be part of an NDP government.

“I know how hard all of you work to pay the bills, to create new jobs, to meet your payroll and to realize your dreams, while the cost of everything is going through the roof,” Darcy said. “Under Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals, Hydro rates, ICBC and MSP premiums just keep going up and up.We have skyrocketing housing prices and an affordability crisis that Christy Clark refused to acknowledge for years, while the NDP and citizens were calling for action. I know this has a huge impact on you as business owners, on your families and on your employees who have to move further and further away from their work and have to spend a long time travelling to work” To see full meeting coverage, check out the story at www. newwestrecord.ca.

Royal City Show and Shine set for comeback Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal City Show and Shine is going back to the tried-and-true when it motors back into NewWest this summer.

Savi Integrated Marketing, the Hyack Festival Association and Key West Ford are in the driver’s seat for this year’s event, which returns to New West after a two-year hiatus.The 2017 Royal City Show and Shine will be held on Sunday, July 23 at the Justice Institute of B.C. “For the first year we are trying to keep it simple, bring back the original feel of the event, get the car guys back.We are looking to bring the event back and re-establish how to move forward with it,” said Guy Ciprian of Savi Integrated Marketing. “We really felt if we didn’t bring it back this year, it was done because

this would have been the third year without the show and shine.”

The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association organized the event on Columbia Street for many years but decided to focus its efforts on other events

We are trying to keep it simple, bring back the original feel of the event.

two years ago.The Hyack Festival Association expressed an interest in running the show but encountered roadblocks that made it challenging to offer the event on Columbia Street.

“Hyack inherited it almost three years ago. People are still contacting them and saying, ‘Is it happening?

When’s it going on?’The inquiries never stopped.

When you get that type of response, there’s usually a community demand for it,” Ciprian said.

“It’s very unique. It’s not like another street festival.

It’s something specific to a mature demographic. As much as we say it’s a family event and people bring their kids, at the end of the day, it’s a different demographic.

People love coming to look at the cars.”

The organizers surveyed past attendees and solicited feedback about the new date (changed to avoid conflicts with other car shows) and the new location for the Royal City Show and Shine.

The Justice Institute parking lot has about 400 parking spaces, but organizers would be happy to get 200

cars for this year’s event.

“We are simplifying it,” Ciprian said. “We have listened to the surveys.The BIA did a really good job of surveying their participants.

One thing that was very clear was that it was losing its flavour – people liked it as the old Royal City Show and Shine, so we have rolled back the name.”

Key West Ford is staying on as the event’s title sponsor but has agreed to drop its name from the event’s title.While the Royal City Show and Shine will highlight cars, it will also include food trucks and vendors.

“For the last three years it was called the Key West Ford Show and Shine.We have gone back to the name,

Symphony on stage Sunday

SOUNDS OF SPRING Maestro Jin “Jack” Zhang leads the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra in concert on Sunday, May 7 at the Massey Theatre. The concert features music by Wagner, Bizet and Brahms. PHOTO COURTESY NWSO

The New Westminster Symphony Orchestra is ushering in spring with a concert on Sunday.

The orchestra, led by conductor Jin “Jack” Zhang, is presenting a May 7 concert at 2 p.m. at the Massey Theatre.

The concert opens with music by German master Richard Wagner, with the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner’s greatest love story, Tristan and Isolde.

The second offering on the program is music by Bizet, the French composer best known for the classic opera Carmen.The symphony will showcase some of Bizet’s incidental music – in this case, Arlesienne Suite No. 2.

Following intermission comes the planned highlight of the concert: Brahms’ Symphony No. 1.

“Brahms’ First Sympho-

ny, along with the three that followed, are unique in that they are all products of the composer’s maturity,” writes local arts promoter Tony Antonias in a press release. “History tells us that Brahms, during his early years, was in constant fear of being compared with Beethoven.”

As a consequence, Brahms struggled for 15 years with his first symphony – and the result is some of the most memorable orchestral music you’ll hear.

“I sat in on some of the rehearsals, and I am quite sure you and your family will enjoy the beautiful melodies Brahms has incorporated in this, his first symphony, which finally saw the light in 1876,” Antonias said.

The Massey Theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave. Admission is by donation at the door.

Great Gig raises $2,200 for NWSS music program Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Remember the Great Gig in New West? The March 4 rock show at the Columbia Theatre assembled a stellar cast of musicians to bring to life the music of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, the Police and U2.

Its organizer, Michael Dunn, had his sights set on raising the profile of New Westminster as a nightlife destination and of raising some funds for the New

Westminster Secondary School music program at the same time.

On that latter score, the gig certainly succeeded – Dunn recently paid a visit to NWSS to present a cheque for $2,214 to band director Steve Clements. Also on hand were Great Gig sponsors Anita Dunn of Mila and Paige Clothing Boutique and Dave Vallee of Team Dave Vallee (Re/Max) real estate.

“This contribution is my way of helping support the great work they do to encourage appreciation of the

arts and music in particular,” Dunn told the Record before the show.

Kudos to all involved in the show and the fundraising efforts.

CHORAL CONCERT Choral music fans, don’t miss out on this one.

Lyric Singers are bringing their concert, Consider the Lilies, to Holy Trinity Cathedral on Saturday, May 6.

The concert features classical and contemporary choral music, featuring an arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah ar-

ranged especially for Lyric Singers.

The singers are directed by Nancy Rahn and accompanied by Betty Suderman and Chris Knopp.

The concert is at 7:30 p.m. Holy Trinity Cathedral is at 514 Carnarvon St. Tickets are $20, or $18 for students and seniors.To reserve or for information, call 604-340-4353.

As an added note for choral singers, the group is currently on a hunt for singers – particularly first and second sopranos.

Call Nancy Rahn at 604-

585-0344 to arrange an audition.

Community New West Cheer team dominates at championships Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Three cheers for New West Cheer.

The New West Cheer team is on a roll, having recently become the grand champions at the Okanagan Cheer championships. Prior to that, the team placed first in its division and runnerup grand champion of all B.C. school programs in the recent Sea to Sky international cheer championships.

The team consist of 16 athletes: Achol Abdalla (senior); Andrea Echem; Anibihe Abdalla; Ava Lee; Breanna Stones; Charissa Vanags; Giselle Whittaker; Jane Dut (senior and captain); Kayla Ferguson (senior); Lia Sokugawa; Patience Dossen; Samantha Montgomery; Shaelin Northgraves (senior); Shane Ward (senior); Talia Monno; and Veronica Osborn.

“Our newly recognized Olympic sport is full of blood, sweat and tears, and

this team has gone through it all over the years,” said coach Nicole Pasacreta in an email to the Record. “For this season, we started training in summer, competed more than ever and focused less on traditional cheering and more on our sport and being athletes with a winning routine. All the hard work has paid off.

We couldn’t be more proud of the team.”

Along with Pasacreta, Jasmine Miriguay coaches the team that’s now in its fourth season.The girls train out of the Royal City Cheer and Tumbling Society’s gym, which has allowed the group to flourish.

The team, which consists of students in Grade 9 to 12, has placed well in various competitions all season long. Prior to the Sea to Sky international cheer championship in April, the team won its division and was grand champions of all schools in the Mardi Party cheer competition.

“The win at Mardi Party didn’t feel as big as this one.We have five seniors that have been with us for

nearly all seasons and every years we have struggled at Sea to Sky,” said Pasacreta in a statement to the Record. “They wanted this so bad. At Sea they won sweaters.That really felt like the symbol of success we have

worked for all (these) years.”

NEW WEST ARTIST UP FOR AWARD Kudos to New Westminster artist James Nizram, who has been long-listed for the Sobey Art Award.

“This is the preeminent Canadian prize for artists 40 and under,” said Sarah Joyce, director and curator of the New Media Gallery in an email to the Record.

“The artists nominated this year are incredible and

strong.”

New West residents can see some of Nizram’s larger-than-life work for themselves. He recently installed Heliographic Scale, a public art installation, at 611 Sixth St.

The faces of evil: Artwork by David Haughton explores the many faces of “bad guys” in a new exhibition at the Visual Space Gallery in Vancouver. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Exploring the face of evil A New Westminster artist is exploring the many faces of evil in a new exhibition in Vancouver.

David A. Haughton’s work is on display in Bad Guys II: Explorations of the Face of Evil, running May 11 to 24 at the Visual Space Gallery.

The exhibition includes three suites of paintings: Mug Shots, Evil in Disguise and Gangsters.

Haughton – whose father was an Episcopalian minister who left active ministry early – notes that the work is connected to his own questioning of faith.

“From an early age I have had a silent, ongoing ‘internal discussion’ with the Judeo-Christian God. I have found myself asking: ‘O God, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent … why allow suffering by innocents?’ During the past decade I have been asking: ‘Why have you created evil?’ and ‘Why does evil so often triumph?’”

Haughton noted that the

existence of evil has eroded his belief and, at the same time, pushed him to explore in paint.

“These works are the extension of that ‘conversation’ into the realm of art – catapulting dialectic into lines and brush strokes,” he said.

He also noted that the faces of “bad guys” are of endless fascination to people.

“We find it endlessly absorbing, searching in the facial bone structure, or the skin colour, or the facial hair

for a pattern we can recognize as dangerous, trying to discover some clue of expression that would identify and warn of evil within,” he said.

Community School board takes its meetings on the road Slade-Kerr told parents at a DPAC meeting last fall the school board was looking to increase engagement with parents, including having more parents attend school board and committee meetings.

“My comment back was, ‘Well, we’re all volunteers, and we have very busy lives and you’re asking us then to go do more volunteer work,’”Trenaman said, adding parents often attend meetings when they have a concern or petition to present to trustees.

While she sees the value in parents attending the

It’ll be a travelling roadshow like no other.

Come September, school board committee meetings will be held at schools instead of at the district office.

The change is one of two recommendations the district parent advisory council (DPAC) made to the board recently to improve communication between parents and trustees.

The recommendations came out of a discussion DPAC had with school board chair Kelly SladeKerr, according to Karon Trenaman, chair of the parents’ group.

school board meetings and staying more engaged, asking busy parents to volunteer more time to attend the meetings wasn’t a feasible idea, she said.

So DPAC came up with two alternatives. First, the school district should reactivate its Facebook page, and second, have the schools’ parent advisory councils (PAC) host the school board’s monthly education policy and planning committee meetings.

The school board will begin implementing the recommendations this fall.

Community OUR PAST

A look at elections gone by Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Once again, citizens are fully involved in all the aspects that make up an election. Politicians, policy, platforms, supporters, detractors, candidate meetings, debates, media reports of all kinds, gatherings, displays, announcements, voting mechanism, and so much more – it is often difficult to keep up. In the early decades of New Westminster’s political life, elections encompassed much of the same type of activity, but it was far simpler.

In the early city, there were elections for municipal representatives and for larger district representatives.

There were elections for the colonies, then elections for the province and finally for federal representatives.The public, as ever, had strong opinions about who they liked, trusted, supported or in some cases, reviled.

Because of the huge phys-

ical area to cover in B.C., and recognizing that politicians always wanted to meet their potential constituents, travel and communications were a challenge.The river being a vital highway, the sternwheel steamboats were active in electioneering.These vessels carried the various political groups to different towns for meetings. Moving away from the river, the parties used wagons and buggies, travelled on horseback, or walked to visit places likeYale, Barkerville, Ladner,Victoria, and Burrard Inlet.

There were reports on the many meetings and associated governmental goingson in the local papers like the British Columbian, British Colonist, Dominion Pacific Herald, Cariboo Sentinel, Inland Sentinel and New Westminster Times. Some early papers were frequently staunchly supportive of one group over another.Vancouver Island and Mainland groups were often at odds

over differing views of information or misinformation.

And where did the political meetings gather? In our area there are examples of large rooms in a hotel being used. Sometimes a saloon would close for a few hours to become a venue for speeches.The favourite in New Westminster in those earlier days was the Hyack fire hall which would be fully swept out, seats brought in from many sources, and the often boisterous political meetings would have at it, pros and cons.

With the vote itself, it would be clearly evident from all the ongoing talk and reports how many folks were going to vote. In some elections, you arrived at a specific time, stated aloud who you were and for whom you were voting – no secret ballot.

If you haven’t already done so, be sure to vote next week. It’s your privilege and your responsibility.

People Marjorie Staal retires after two decades at family place Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

After more than two decades at the helm of New Westminster Family Place, Marjorie Staal is calling it a day.

Staal, the organization’s executive director, has been running the program since 1991, but was part of the planning group that got the program going in 1989 and was on its board of directors. She officially retired from the job on April 27.

“I feel really proud of the thousands of families that have been supported by the staff here,” she said. “I feel really grateful that I was given this opportunity to work here.”

New Westminster Family Place offers parent education programs, support groups, volunteer programs and free drop-ins (including playtime, crafts and snack time) for children and their parents. In addition to the main site, Family Place also runs a drop-in

at Lord Kelvin Elementary School, the New Westminster Food Bank and the Qayqayt neighbourhood learning centre, as well as parent-child Mother Goose early literacy drop-in programs at various locations in the community.

“We hear from a few of them how much we impacted their lives, but we know there are literally thousands of people that move on and don’t tell us how much we meant to them,” she said.

“The other thing that I am very proud of is the strength of the main site programs, the site at 93 Sixth St., but I am very proud of operating programs that are in the community, such as the one at Lord Kelvin.Those off-site programs are, overall in anyone’s agency, very complex. For a small organization like ours it’s a lot of work to have them be so successful.”

Staal said Family Place has survived as it’s adapted to the changes in the community and in its program.

“They come from different places in the world.We didn’t use to have that at the beginning.We have always reflected the demographics of the population in New West and Burnaby. As the population base shifts into different cultures, so does our population,” she said. “It’s like working with something that is always moving.We can’t say each day we are going to have 15 children because it’s a dropin.There’s two major shifts and challenges for us. Always the fluctuating numbers are what makes it interesting here, but the other thing that makes it really interesting are the different cultures that are here that were not here in the beginning.”

As for retirement plans, Staal said she’ll be pursing hobbies that she’s been too busy to get to, using her years of experience applying for grants to help people write grants, and helping people plan events.

BLAIR MANTIN Licensed Insolvency Trustee

If I’m unable to pay my debts, what recourse do my creditors have?

Being in a position where you are unable to make even your minimum monthly payments can be stressful, to say the least. Different creditors may have varied collection policies but in general, if payment obligations are not met, you could expect collection attempts such as:

• Letters and/or calls; • Legal action such as court hearings; • Seizure of assets pledged as collateral; • Bank account or wage garnishment.

If you’re facing collection action it’s important to know you do still have legal options available to you, and it’s best to be proactive as soon as possible. A Licensed Insolvency Trustee can shield you from your creditors, halting any further collection AND accumulating interest.

STEPHEN GRAF

What is a stress fracture?

Stress fractures occur when a person suddenly increases their activity level (e.g. starting distance running too quickly). The normal process of bone uptake and laying down of new bone is overloaded, and a JIM GOVETT progressive weakening of the bone occurs, resulting in progressively more pain in that area. Stress fractures usually occur in the lower extremities. They occur more commonly in females (especially with menstrual irregularity), and in thinner people. The Physiotherapist is often the first person to suspect a stress fracture due to localized pain, a vague onset, and recent change in activity. While X-rays may show signs of the injury, a bone scan or MRI is often needed to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment of stress fractures ultimately requires rest, and a careful graduated return to activity. The average time for recovery is 13 to 19 weeks.

What are functional movements?

Simply put functional movements are commonly used movements we do daily, but replicated in the gym.

Functional moves can be performed weight bearing or simply using body weight. *Let me simplify LUKE RAMNATH this, you bend down to pick up the groceries off the floor. In the gym the functional move we call this is a squat. *You put the pots and pans back in the top shelf of the cupboard, we call this a dumb-bell chest press. *You have to pull the the weeds out of the garden. We would call this a dumb-bell one arm row There are lots of other moves we perform in the gym that replicate real world situations we perform daily. The benefit of coming to the gym to perform these are understanding how to do them safety avoiding back, shoulder and knee issues.

Adding weight or reps to these move can build more strength and burn calories adding weight loss and other health benefits.

His downtown location provides convenient access to the courthouse library, the Land Title Office, legal support service providers such as Dye & Durham Corporation, and major banks.

As a sole practitioner, Stephen values his clients’ time and is committed to providing professional and personalized services.

“Because so much of my work goes on behind the scenes, I particularly value timely client communication,” says the longtime area resident and married father of three.“Client communication is a two-way street: actively listening to client concerns, and explaining legal matters in everyday language.”

Educated in law at the University of B.C., Stephen also earned a business degree in management science from SFU. Today, As of May 2017, Stephen will reach 13 years of call to the British Columbia bar.

In 2014-16, Stephen Graf & Company won two Readers’ Choice awards, made the New Westminster News Leader’s A-List, and received a nomination for New Small Business of the Year at the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce.

“I also enjoy a good working relationship with an experienced real estate paralegal whose skill with legal technology complements mine,” he says.“I like using legal technology as long as it gives my clients a better experience. It can help me work faster for my clients without sacrificing accuracy, and it can provide more ways to communicate.”

Brushing your denture(s) with a denture brush will prevent your dentures from becoming permanently stained and also prevent scratching to the acrylic base because of the soft bristles. You must ensure that you moisten the BRIAN KO R.D., R.D.T brush and apply a non-abrasive soap or denture paste (regular toothpaste is too abrasive). Brush every surface, inside and out, scrubbing gently. After rinsing them thoroughly, soak your dentures in a water-based cleaning solution overnight and ensure that when you are not wearing your dentures that they are kept in a moist environment.

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

I need a filling, what are the material options?

Today there are many options for filling materials. The decision is usually based on many factors.

Teeth can be restored (filled) with gold, amalgam silver filling (using many metals including mercury), or tooth coloured porcelain, resins, glass ionomer DR. LOVELY (using glass particles), and a newer material called zirconium for its strength.

The location of the decay and restoration, whether it is in the back where most of the forces are, may dictate material of choice. The type of material used will also determine how the tooth is prepared, and could take more than one appointment and have a laboratory (technician) cost as well.

Other influences include, filling size and depth, cost of the various materials, such as gold and porcelain where a lab technician may be included, your insurance coverage, and the recommendation of your dentist.

All these factors are used to determine the right filling for you. What does the future look like? Robotics and lasers? Stem cells? These are exciting times for both the dentist and the patient! So be sure to ask your dentist what is best for your next treatment.

You’re a woman and you are not quite feeling yourself. You think your hormones are to blame.

You’re experiencing fatigue, insomnia, PMS, mood swings, hot flashes and weight gain.

You don’t know what to do.

Balanced hormones are vital to a healthy, mind and body, and can be disrupted in many ways.

Hormone fluctuations occur naturally during puberty, menopause and peri-menopause. Hormone imbalance can be caused by toxins or an unbalanced lifestyle. Chronic stress, chronic illness, poor diet, and thyroid issues can lead to imbalances.

DOREEN HILL

You may be doing all the right things, yet still don’t feel well. It’s not your fault. Saliva hormone testing is a simple and effective way to discover the imbalances. Once a hormone imbalance has been identified, a well-rounded approach is recommended. Acupuncture, nutritional or bio identical hormone therapy can be utilized. Acupuncture is covered by Extended Health Care.

Call Doreen today to discuss your options.

A group of F.W. Howay Elementary students proved they’ve got business skills that would impress even the folks on Dragons’ Den. Students from the east side school took part in the parent advisory council’s (PAC) second annual Spring Fair held on Saturday at River Market.The students were tasked with creating and selling handmade goods to the public to raise money for the PAC, which uses the funds to pay for events and programs for the kids at the school, including in-school karate instruction, Fun Day, pancake breakfasts, holiday crafts and new books for the school library.

Students sold everything from slime and stress balls to bath bombs and trivets.

There was also perler bead figures, paintings, homemade cards and pressed flowers for sale.

In all, $570 was raised by eight students at the fair, according to Garry Self, cochair of the PAC.

For a good cause: A group of Grade 4 students sold handmade bracelets to raise funds for the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. In all, $133.50 was raised for the association at the F.W. Howay Elementary School second annual Spring Fair at River Market. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

FOR A GOOD CAUSE Nine Grade 4 students also took part in the spring fair, but they chose to raise money for theWildlife Rescue Association of B.C. The association’s current location at Burnaby Lake has fallen into disrepair after a particularly rough winter, and its board is contem-

plating whether to renovate or rebuild the facility.While no decision has been made about the site, the association put out a call last month for donations to repair a leaking hot water boiler and improve food storage capacity and wash stations.

Together, Grade 4 students Corinna, Anna, Au-

drey, Alix, Isla, Amily, Jasleen, Maxine and Laura raised $133.50 for the association by selling handmade bracelets.

(The association hit its fundraiser target of $50,000 on May 2.)

Schultz fine tunes for Big 12 NewWest track star named KU’s female newcomer of the year

It’s the first trophy likely of many to come for Kansas State’s newest track and field star.

New Westminster’s Nina Schultz was celebrated for her accomplishments to date in her freshman year at Kansas State, picking up the school’s Athletic Female Newcomer of theYear award at the Mark Chapman Powercat Choice Awards banquet last week in Manhattan, Kan. Her award covered all 16 varsity sports, recognizing the 18-year-old for her impressive resume: winning her first NCAA heptathlon event; setting a new Canadian under-20 women’s mark; and posting the second-best point total this year at an NCAA competition.

At last month’s Jim Click Combined Events in Arizona, the New West Spartans product counted off six new personal bests, while breaking the 6,000-point barrier for the first time.

“This season my goal going in was to go over 6,000, so I wasn’t really thinking about it in my first meet,” Schultz told the Record last month.

Her point tally of 6,021 also stands as third-best this year in the world.

All that’s left in the season is next week’s Big 12, followed by the NCAA championships next month in Oregon.

Last week, Schultz teamed up to help Kansas State collect medals in a pair of relays – finishing second in the 4x200 relay and third in the women’s shuttle hurdles.

Sticking close to first: The New Westminster Mariners’ first baseman puts the tag on a Surrey baserunner during Sunday’s Lower Mainland Over-30 Baseball League game at Queen’s Park Stadium. A strong one-two pitching performance from Nate Owen and Michael Mudry put the Mariners in the driver’s seat after shaking off a 2-1 deficit en route to their third win of the season.

Freshmen lead junior Fish to f irst win Will Malcom and Jacob Patterson launched their official first year as junior A lacrosse players with two-goal games, leading the New Westminster junior A Salmonbellies past Port Coquitlam 7-4.

It involved a bit of a comeback, as the Saints shook off a 2-1 deficit and scored twice before New West’s Connor McNeill tied it with 4:41 left in the second period.

Malcom cashed in a powerplay opportunity a minute later to put the ’Bellies in front, but PoCo knotted the score 4-4 six minutes into the final frame.

Markers by intermediate-aged Cole Catton, midway through the period, and a pair

by Patterson locked up the win for New West.

Malcom picked up a pair of assists along with his goals, while McNeill finished with a

four-point game. Drew Belgrave counted the other goal. Picking up four assists in the win was Mitchell Flintoff, while Erik Kratz kicked out 26 shots.

New West plays host to the Nanaimo junior Timbermen on Saturday, 5 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena. On May 9, the ’Bellies welcome Delta to the rink on Third.

Shorthanded in camp, ’Bellies still work in progress NewWestminster adds more commitments for 2017WLA season, with a goal of getting to the Mann Cup Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There is no truth to the rumour the New Westminster Salmonbellies have offered Liam Neeson a free walk-on spot in the lineup.

By the looks of the lineup-onpaper ’Bellies, the Hollywood action star – seen in the Royal City this week – would have to buy a ticket like the rest of us.

New Westminster general manager/president Dan Richardson said commitments and additions to the 2017 roster are in line with a serious Western Lacrosse Association competitor.

But before we plan a Mann Cup parade route, something called “a season” must be played.

“There’s lots of excitement with the coaching staff because we look real good on paper,” said Richardson as the club prepares for an exhibition game on Monday at

Queen’s Park Arena against Burnaby. “It’s the coaches’ job to meld this into a good team, but we like what we’ve got.”

Head coach Steve Goodwin will oversee a fairly veteran squad, charged up to improve on last year’s finish, which saw the second-place ’Bellies bounced in the semifinals by eventual league champion Maple Ridge.

The list of commitments grew by six this past week, although the likes of Alex Buque, Ian Hawksbee, Curtis Hodgson, Mitch Jones and Brandon and Justin Goodwin were expected.

As is the state of senior A lacrosse, the club has been slogging through a camp with 14 players, due to a lengthy checklist of veterans plying the boards in the National Lacrosse League.

Monday’s exhibition test will likely be running time, as both clubs are battling to fill out prac-

tice rosters with college and pro for Joel McCready. Crowley isn’t lacrosse still the prime focus for expected to join the team until many players.

an iron in the fire on acquiring the services of another shooter.

“On paper, we think we’ve improved the team and that we’re a strong team,” said Richardson. “It starts in goal, and I think in Belanger and Buque we have the best goaltending in the league.We added one of the best D-men in Canada in Mydske, and the fact he’s coming home to play is another big bonus.”

Although the season opener is three weeks away (May 25, 7 p.m. with Nanaimo visiting Queen’s Park Arena), Richardson said the pressure is on to compete for a Mann Cup and set that tone from camp onward.

“Last year we went 0-3 to start, and everyone was pushing the panic button,” noted Richardson. “Then we went like 14 games without a loss.We don’t want to start 0-3, but it’s important to stay focused on the big picture.”

Byrne scores hardware Josh Byrne’s final season at Hofstra University has been nothing short of terrific.

The fifth-year senior – who transferred to the Pride in 2015 after two seasons at Nassau Junior College – was presented with the Howard “Howdy” Myers Award, which goes to the university’s top male student-athlete.

He’s been an offensive dynamo on the lacrosse field.The New Westminster native was named to the Tewaaraton Award watch list and has posted a teamleading 36 goals and 24 assists over 13 games this

In addition to setting the pace for Hofstra, Byrne ranks first in the Colonial Athletic Association in goals, assists and points per game, and ranks in the top 15 in all three categories.

JUMPER PICKS UP SILVER Mike Mason of New Westminster pushed the Rio Olympic gold medalist at last week’s Drake Relays in Iowa en route to a silver medal.

Mason, 30, cleared 2.27

metres in the high jump, and only Ontario’s Derek Drouin was better, with a leap of 2.30m.

For Drouin, it was his fourth consecutive Drake high jump title. In third place stood Surrey’s Django Lovett, with a jump of 2.23m.

When Drouin won gold in Rio, Mason was among the athletes representing Canada at the event. He finished 19th overall in his third Olympics.

Nearly two years ago, Mason cleared a personal best 2.33m, setting the stage for a silver medal at the 2015 Pan Am Games.

Stealth earn playoff date

The Vancouver Stealth have accomplished a first – the National Lacrosse League team is playoff-bound.

On the heels of a 17-16 road victory over the New England Black Wolves, the Stealth clinched a home date for the playoffs, one week after securing a playoff berth for the first time in their four-year history.

Corey Small’s fourth goal of the night, in overtime, capped a thriller which saw the

Black Wolves rally from a 15-11 to jump ahead by a goal with a minute to play.

Small forced OT with 18 seconds to play.

Scoring five times for New England was New West native Kevin Crowley.

Tye Belanger made 66 saves in backstopping the club past New England, who set a team record for shots taken in the game.

The Stealth launch the playoffs Saturday, 7 p.m. against Colorado in Langley.

A special shout out to great nieces and nephew Carl and Domini Cole, Lana Cummings, Ann DaleyLatrielle, and to friends Linda Kelly and Joan Osborn, for their pictures, cards and visits over the years. It meant a lot to her.

Our family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at New Vista for the genuine warmth and affection they showed Auntie Gail. She came to love New Vista, and thought of it as her home.

The staff at Cypress Grove made it possible for her to live her final years with dignity, and with a feeling of belonging, and for that we are very grateful.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the New Vista Society bed replacement program would be greatly appreciated.

A memorial service and reception will be held at (Osborn’s) Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel Saturday, May 13th at 11:30am. A graveside service will be held at a later date.

Auntie Gail, you were a truly lovely person, and the very best aunt.

We will miss you so much!

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
