Heritage ﬁres up residents More than 50 citizens showed up to voice their support – or opposition – to a new heritage conservation area By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Fans and foes of a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park spoke for and against the plan for nearly five hours in council chambers Monday night – and they’ll get to do it all over again next month. After hearing from more than 50 residents who support and opposed the proposed heritage conservation area (HCA), council voted unanimously in favour of giving first and second reading to official community plan amendment bylaws that would pave the way for creation of an HCA.The HCA is intended to protect existing heritage buildings and to provide design controls for new construction to ensure it’s respectful of the existing heritage neighbourhood. “This isn’t something that is being imposed from city council on the community. It is something the community wants,” said HCA supporter Murray Hanson. “I think that’s a very important thing.” Maureen Arvanitidis, a member of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society, said a working group spent three years looking at the issue, researching what’s being done in other jurisdictions, considering studies done on the neighbourhoods and conservation areas, hearing presentations from the B.C. Assessment Authority, the City of Vancouver and other groups, and meeting with solicitors. “We came to the conclusion that a conservation area was the best and only way Continued on page 11

SUPER-CENTENARIAN: New Westminster resident Marguerite Robertson, who celebrated her 110th birthday at the Kiwanis Care Home last

Friday, is among a handful of Canadians to reach 110 years of life. Robertson – who was four years old when the Titanic went down and 56 when U.S. president John F. Kennedy was shot – still remembers knitting socks for soldiers in the First World War. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Age is a lucky accident By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

Marguerite Robertson and her friends at New Westminster’s Kiwanis Care Centre agree – it’s “ridiculous” that she is turning 110 years old. When Robertson was born in 1907 in Lunenburg, N.S., the first Model T Ford hadn’t yet been built, and the idea of sending long-distance radio signals across the Atlantic was still brand new. She was four years old when the Titanic

went down and already 56 when U.S. president John F. Kennedy was shot. More “ridiculous” yet, perhaps, is the fact Robertson lived alone in her own Sapperton home until she was well over 100 and only moved into the Kiwanis Care Centre about a year ago. “I came with my little suitcase for a weekend and didn’t tell my family,” she told the Record. “And then I thought, ‘Yes, I could live here.’” To Robertson, her age is a lucky accident.

At 110, she is in good health and keeps her mind busy with reading – mostly mysteries and adventure stories. The topics make perfect sense; Robertson has had her share of adventures over the last 110 years. She was born Marguerite Heisler to a sea captain and his second wife. Her father had a ship named for each of his daughters, and one of Robertson’s earliest memories is of christening her own. Continued on page 18

What’s on your bucket list in New Westminster? Tourism compiling the ‘inside scoop’ for interesting city experiences By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Tourism New Westminster is looking for the “inside scoop” about all the great things happening in the Royal City. In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017, Tourism New Westminster is creating a bucket list of 150 experiences and is seeking input from local businesses and residents on their top #MadeInNewWest experiences. “New Westminster has so much to offer, and we thought this would be the perfect way to talk about all the city’s incredible experiences – and who knows the city better than locals?” said Tej Kainth, executive director of Tourism New Westminster. “Each and every idea in this new guide will come from a local, so you know you’re getting the inside scoop.” The free guide will be

distributed at the city’s official Canada Day celebration on July 1 and at other major events and festivals throughout the summer. The “insider’s guide” will be divided into themed categories such as arts, culinary, events and festivals, outdoor experiences and others. “New Westminster is quickly becoming a goto destination for our elevated experiences in the world of arts, culture, culinary, heritage, theatre and more. There’s always something to explore here,” Kainth said. “This guide is about showcasing our great city, so we look forward to receiving your input – whether you’re a local business or resident – on your favourite things to do, see and experience in NewWest. Share your ideas with us and be part of this truly fantastic insider’s guide.” If you’ve got a favourite café, gallery, restaurant, park or something else

New Westminster schools will soon be equipped with life-saving devices thanks to a push from parents. Beth Ott, past chair of the New Westminster district parent advisory council (DPAC), was the first to approach the district about buying and installing automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in local schools. The district jumped on the idea and put together a report outlining what the devices would cost and what practices are in place in other districts. Superintendent Pat Duncan presented the report to the school board at its meeting in April.The report revealed four of nine school districts in the Metro Vancouver area currently have AEDs installed in all schools, while three of the nine are site specific.Two districts – Burnaby and Richmond – don’t have any devices, according to the report. While Duncan said it’s more likely the AEDs would be used to help an adult in cardiac arrest than a student, there is conclusive evidence the devic-

in the city that you’d like to share, the deadline for submissions is May 27. “It’s an insider’s guide. I think there are so many things out there that we are not thinking of or haven’t experienced yet. That’s going to add to our list of things to do in the city. I am excited,” said Kainth, who was born and raised in New West. “There is a whole new wave of residents who have come into New West too – I am curious what they like to do in the city.” Tourism New Westminster will be printing 10,000 copies of the passport-sized guide. In addition to providing residents

with some ideas of things to do around town, the guide aims to give visitors the inside scoop on residents’ favourite things to do, eat and experience in New Westminster. “You can do it in the summer or take the whole year to do it. It is going to be content that is created by locals,” Kainth said. “There’s going to be some great ideas.” You can submit your favourite things to do, see, taste and experience in New West to surveymon key.com/r/Bucketlist150 or visit tourismnewwest.com/ bucketlist15 for more information.

es can have a positive effect on someone suffering from a heart attack and improve the chances of survival, according to the report. Considering the number of community groups that use the schools after hours, Duncan added, having AEDs available in an emergency is a good idea. Karon Trenaman, current DPAC chair, said it was heartening to finally get the motion “before the board and to have that discussion and to see the support of a number of the trustees.” The AEDs are expected to cost $30,000, plus $5,000 to train staff on proper use.The cost will be factored into the 2017/18 annual budget. “It’s encouraging for us to see the discussions are quite promising in every school, whether it happens in September or sometime in the year, that’s a huge coup as well just to ensure that extra safety step has been taking in the schools,” Trenaman said. The school district plans to buy 12 AEDs and distribute them as soon as practical. Staff will be trained before the devices are installed, according to the report.

Construction of the city’s first fully accessible washroom is expected to get underway in Queen’s Park later this year. Council has endorsed a “universal access” design for the new washrooms in Queen’s Park, which will replace the structure located near the playground and petting farm. “The concept behind the universal washroom design is that there’s a series of self-contained private stalls that are available to persons, regardless of their gender.Then there is a common area where there are sinks that all persons use,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation.

A staff report states the concept provides efficiencies in use of space, increases the number of people served at one time, is inclusive to all and provides equity when considering gender expression and identity.The report notes that it’s also helpful to parents who are in the park with children of the opposite gender. JayYoung, manager of Queen’s Park Arenex, said construction of the new washroom in Queen’s Park won’t begin until fall at the earliest. He said the capital budget submission for the project was $1,197,000, but staff will be bringing a more detailed building design to council for approval before the project moves forward.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

An application has been received to amend the Ofﬁcial Community Plan (OCP) Land Use Designation and rezone the site (outlined in bold on the adjacent map). The applicant proposes to amend the OCP Land Use Designation from Residential - Compact Lot (RLC) to Residential – Medium Density (RM).

WHAT IS OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT OCP00015 AND REZONING REZ00128 ABOUT?

An Ofﬁcial Community Plan and a rezoning amendment are required to allow the construction of 18 duplex dwellings, 14 row houses, 10 compact lot houses and 36 townhouses for a total of 78 residential units. The amendments are required as the current Ofﬁcial Community Plan Land Use Designation and zoning of the site would permit single detached dwellings to be constructed and the current proposal exceeds the density currently permitted.

An open letter to residents of Queen’s Park Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area: Protection and incentives make this a win-win proposal If City Council does not approve a Heritage Conservation Area (HCA), we will be back to the status quo – where no house (other than a few designated properties which have significant restrictions on what exterior alterations can be made) will be protected and there will be no design requirements for new builds. Under provincial law, the proposed layer of protection is only possible through an HCA. With so much at stake, and a lot of misinformation that’s been circulating, here are some facts about the proposed HCA in Queen’s Park. Property values will likely increase or remain the same for most homeowners. In a presentation to City Council on April 24, Jay Wollenberg of Coriolis Consulting indicated that a majority of QP properties in the proposed HCA would either benefit or see no change in property value; however, the policy could affect some properties which, due to their small lot and/or house size, may not be able to take advantage of proposed incentives. Providing smaller Advanced Protection properties with options: To address these concerns, the City is proposing a new, temporary sub-category to the Advanced Protection level for smaller homes and lots built on or before 1940. If the HCA is approved, Coriolis Consulting will immediately begin a detailed analysis of the heritage, economic and renovation potential for these homes. The affected properties will either be reclassified as Advanced or Limited when an HCA review takes place in 2019. Proposed incentives will increase value and livability: To address property value concerns, City staff will begin an exploration, consultation and implementation process for proposed incentives for Advanced Category homes (built in 1940 or earlier) if the HCA is approved. Some of the incentives being considered include: ¡ An increased floor space ratio (FSR) of between 0.1 and 0.2 FSR ¡ Full basements exempted from FSR calculations ¡ Stratification to multi-dwelling properties, and subdivision to small lot properties. Developers aren’t the only ones who want to buy more modest, less expensive homes: Smaller homes will still be valuable, offering a “foot in the door” for younger people keen to build some “sweat equity” and for older people who want to downsize but reside in such a livable neighbourhood that’s close to so many amenities. Queen’s Park demolition applications rising: The rate of demolition applications in Queen’s Park has been increasing. According to the City’s statistics for the five years from 2011-2015, only 12 houses (total) were demolished; however, alarmingly in 2016 alone there were seven demolitions applied for (five approved, two denied). If we continue at that rate, Queen’s Park will lose 35 houses in the next five years. How long can Queen’s Park sustain these losses before the very essence of what we value about living in this unique neighbourhood is eradicated and everyone loses? Design controls are only enforceable with an HCA: The push for an HCA began as a community initiative to retain the streetscapes and green space that define the character of the neighbourhood. However, they can only be implemented with an HCA in place or by changing New Westminster’s zoning bylaw framework to include design controls that would apply to the entire city. Protection of Queen’s Park’s historic character means there will be some trade-offs. But with the recently announced emphasis on addressing concerns of small homes/lot sizes; and some potentially robust incentives could be implemented; there is no downside to an HCA. Urge the Mayor and City Council to approve this important initiative so future generations can enjoy our beautiful streetscapes and historic homes, both large and small. Respectfully submitted by the directors of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society and the Queen’s Park Residents Association.

The original house at 221 Third Avenue was demolished in 2013 - it was one of the catalysts for the development of the Queen’s Park HCA.

City Animal lover leaves $275,000 to city shelter By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Animal Shelter is among the organizations that will benefit from the generosity of a man who was passionate about animals and children. Daryl Mutz, a Vancouver resident and a longtime teacher, passed away in January 2014 at the age of 83. In his will, Mutz named the New Westminster Animal Shelter as one of four beneficiaries of his estate. Maida Long, the executor of his estate, met with city staff earlier this year and informed the city Mutz had divided his estate between four organizations: the New Westminster Animal Shelter, the Wildlife Resource Association of B.C., the Vancouver Sun Children’s Fund and Covenant House. She presented the city with a $275,000 cheque to be used to enhance the lives of animals in need and specific guidelines on how the funds

are to be used. To honour the memory and generosity of Mutz, the estate asked that the money be divided as follows: $115,000 for an animal enrichment fund for items not already included in the city’s budget, such as behaviour training, canine agility equipment, hydrotherapy sessions and toys; $55,000 for an outreach fund to help no- and lowincome pet parents with emergency and/or basic veterinary care, food and supplies, and a program to trap, spay/neuter and provide medical assistance and sustenance to feral and homeless cat population, possibly in collaboration with an established volunteer organization.The estate will also provide $55,000 for a medical fund for “extraordinary, unexpected veterinary costs for shelter animals, and $50,000 for an equipment fund to provide high-quality equipment for the immediate use and for the new ani-

mal shelter. On Monday, council approved a staff recommendation to send a letter of appreciation to the estate of Daryl Mutz. “He’s basically divided his entire estate into four pieces and divided that money to different organizations that he really cared about, and one of them was animal services in the City of New Westminster. Have gave (the shelter) $275,000, which is huge,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “I thought it might be a nice gesture to invite Ms. Long to council and thank her on his behalf, and give some serious recognition to the way Mr. Mutz loved the city that he lived in.” Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city is working on building a new animal shelter and suggested the city may be able to find a way to recognize Mutz’s contribution.

Opinion OUR VIEW

It’s a challenge to look at both sides Heritage in New Westminster. It’s complicated. For some folks it feels like it’s overwhelming and there is way too much attention given to it. For other folks it feels like heritage is a precious, perishable substance that is not being given the attention it truly deserves. There’s no question New Westminster is always in some sort of a conversation about heritage. If it’s not about the high school and the history it sits on,

it’s about heritage homes. And if it’s not about heritage homes, it’s about colonization. When most folks think about heritage in the Royal City, they think about longstanding European traditions such as May Day and the anvil salute. And many consider those traditions intrinsic to the city. But it all depends on your viewpoint. If you’re in the exploited, colonized camp, chances are your view of the value of

preserving such traditions is less than enthusiastic.The same symbols of quaint heritage can be symbols of oppression. For some readers, all of the hand-wringing about the city’s proposed heritage conservation area in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood may just seem like rich folks fighting over how much more money they can squeeze out of their expensive homes. If you’re having trou-

ble finding a rental suite you can actually pay for and also feed your family, it definitely seems to be a tempest in a teapot. But if you’re someone who has spent years scrimping and saving to be able to buy an authentic chimney for your craftsman-style heritage home – then it’s about much more than an investment; it’s a true labour of love and sacrifice. We don’t envy the politicians who must balance the

needs of the future inhabitants of the city with the desires of current residents to preserve its unique heritage. And, of course, there are those who disagree amongst themselves on how to preserve heritage homes. It’s not an easy task. And all the staff reports and data don’t necessarily make it easier. We do, however, think we can all learn a lot from Marguerite Robertson, who turned 110 this past week

in our city. After more than a century of life experiences, Robertson said it’s changed how she views life: “I look at things differently,” she said. “I look at every side.When I was young, I used to think ‘I want it. I do this. I like to do that,’ but now I look at both sides.” Wise words from someone who should know a thing or two about history and heritage.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Two solitudes revealed in B.C.

No matter which party forms the next government in this province, the election results show the ruralurban divide that emerged from the 2013 election has become wider and perhaps more entrenched than ever before. As a result, whichever of the two major parties forms government (either through a majority of seats or in some kind of arrangement with the B.C. Green Party) when the final count is determined next week, faces some serious challenges when it comes to crafting all kinds of public policies. The electoral map shows almost the entire province is painted B.C. Liberal red outside of MetroVancouver,Vancouver Island and the coastal region. In MetroVancouver, the dominant colour by far is NDP orange. Two solitudes.Two opposite takes on which party is the top choice to form government. Inside the Metro region, the B.C. Liberals got pasted, losing 10 ridings and four cabinet ministers. Voters turned their backs on the governing party in droves, particularly in the vital political battleground seats in the Burnaby/Tri-Cities/Surrey region. One assumes issues such as bridge tolls, housing and general malaise with a party in power so long came together to blast the Liberals out of those seats. But it was a completely different story in much of the rest of the province.The NDP lost two regional seats and two Island seats – a much more mod-

est loss than the B.C. Liberals, but emblematic of how the NDP is losing ground outside of MetroVancouver – and saw its vote drop in those areas accordingly. The NDP’s election strategy – and it was a good one, much better than in 2013 – was to zero in on MetroVancouver seats and the dominant issues there, and pretty much write off much of the rest of the province. Until the final count is concluded, it’s not clear whether this strategy was good enough to actually win and form government. But if it does form government, how will the NDP reconnect with the vast regions of the province that appear to have turned away from the party? The B.C. Liberals face the same problem, only in reverse. Christy Clark’s hardhat routine only took her so far in the election. If she remains in power, how will her party reconnect with those MetroVancouver voters who deserted her because just talking about creating jobs – and not about building transit, affordable housing and dealing with crowded schools – simply isn’t enough for them. This disconnect between our urban areas and the Interior and the North – and the resulting divide that shuts one major party out of one of those regions – needs addressing. Hopefully the winning party realizes this is an untenable situation and starts shaping policies aimed at closing that divide and not widening it.

Letters Heritage plans divisive Dear Editor: I read with intrigue Jim Hutson’s opinion piece, “Heritage plan makes sense,” and so I feel there is a need to respond in kind. Many homeowners in Queen’s Park live in the 175 small homes on small lots and small homes on large lots, with the heritage plan making no sense to these homeowners. Not such a small group as indicated by Mr. Hutson who lives in his very large elite house. Homeowners are only now learning that their land title deed will be amended by the city involuntarily to designated heritage. This makes no sense to a vast number of homeowners whose homeowner rights are being taken away. More importantly, owners are not being made aware of Phase 2 HCA and beyond where the city has not ruled out home heritage inventory, control of windows, sidings and other facets in the coming years. Most likely pre-1960 homes will be engulfed, too. The plan has absolutely no incentives, and strict guidelines will not allow homeowners to expand to their zoning limit of 0.5 FSR (floor space ratio) for single-family homes. Mr. Hutson has made it clear to the neighbourhood that his goal is for no homes to be demolished, and he has offered no recommended incentives for homeowners to renovate or designate homes voluntarily. Of the 702 homes in Queen’s Park, only 26 have been voluntarily designated heritage, and there is absolutely no lineup of homeowners wishing to do so.

We all love historic Queen’s Park, and, like many, we bought here for the neighbourhood that has changed little in the last 30 years. So is there actually a need to replace “historic” with “Heritage Conservation Area”? It just does not have the same appeal, especially as the HCA process has divided the community. James Jamieson, New Westminster

No revenge games here Dear Editor: I have known and respected Lindsay Meredith for a long time, but his analysis of last week’s election smacks of petty hostility and cynicism. No, people who voted for the B.C. Green Party in the 2017 provincial election were not engaged in “voter revenge games.” They voted for a party which represents common sense, fairness and policies which will be in the best interests of B.C. and Canada. The B.C. Green Party advocates for forward thinking about education, health, the environment and democracy. I am not a dissatisfied voter. I am glad to see so many new B.C. Green Party voters who understand that there can be a new way of expressing their hopes for the future. Whatever the final outcome of the election, I know that Dr. Andrew Weaver, Adam Olsen and Sonia Furstenau will work hard on behalf of their constituents and on behalf of British Columbians for a more responsible program of government actions than we have seen for years.

News Judge dismisses appeal of robbery prison sentence Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

Seven years in prison is not too much for 10 robberies, one attempted robbery and three counts of using an imitation firearm, according to a B.C. Court of Appeal judge who dismissed a Lower Mainland pharmacy robber’s appeal last month. Aosama Salim Hmod Al-

Isawi, a NewWestminster resident, used an imitation firearm to rob or attempt to rob 11 small pharmacies in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and Coquitlam from September 2011 to January 2012. In the course of the robberies, the 49-year-old sometimes wore a mask and threatened to shoot the pharmacists, cocking or

racking his gun, while demanding the pain medication Percocet. “These were predatory robberies, targeting vulnerable small pharmacies, in a carefully planned and deliberately executed manner,” reads an April 26 ruling by Justice Sunni StrombergStein. Al-Isawi was convicted of the crimes in March

2014 and sentenced to seven years in jail in July 2016 after unsuccessfully challenging the constitutionality of the mandatory minimum one-year consecutive sentence for each count of use of an imitation firearm. Al-Isawi’s lawyer appealed the sentence, in part, because he argued it was unfit “in the circumstance of the offences and the offender.”

Al-Isawi was a captain in the Iraqi military during the First GulfWar in 1991 and sustained head trauma from shrapnel, according to reports presented at trial. He defected and was detained as a U.S. prisoner-of-war for nine years before being sent to Canada. He worked as a forklift operator until he was injured in the workplace, and he developed a Perco-

cet addiction after the drug was prescribed to him by his doctor to deal with chronic migraines and pain. The trial judge, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher, recognized Al-Isawi’s circumstances as mitigating factors but noted the offences were violent, the victims vulnerable and the crimes happened in multiple locations.

City Heritage THE HCA –WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT? The proposed heritage conservation area (HCA) has been attracting crowds to council chambers for weeks. So, what’s it all about? ! In order to create a heritage conservation area, the city must amend the official community plan (OCP) to include heritage protection provisions and design guidelines. A public hearing to consider the OCP amendments is set to take place on June 13. The proposed heritage conservation area would take effect if and when council adopts the official community plan amendment bylaw. ! The HCA is intended to protect existing heritage buildings and to provide design controls for all new construction in the neighbourhood. ! The proposal would protect houses built in 1940 and earlier, by putting

them in an advanced (protected) category. They would require permits for: proposed demolitions; construction to the front, sides or visible roof of the existing building; and construction of new buildings and associated landscaping. Permits aren’t required for: interior changes; changes to the back of the building or non-visible rear roof; changes to existing accessory buildings; or regular maintenance and repairs such as reroofing with similar material, painting or replacing worn siding or porch boards. ! Houses built in 1941 or later would be in the limited (non-protected) category, unless they are designated heritage homes or on the city’s heritage register. These homes aren’t protected in the HCA, but their owners would need the city’s approval to build a new principal building or new accessory buildings and for subdi-

visions or lot consolidations. ! A new proposal would see the creation of a “special limited” category, which is a temporary category for properties that were considered to be protected because of their age but may not be able to realize economic values from possible incentives because of the physical characteristics of their lot and house. A staff report states that this category would remove the renovation-related permit requirements from pre-1941 properties with those site characteristics, until more detailed economic analysis could be undertaken on each. ! Of the 700 or so single-family homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, about 425 would be in the advanced (protected), about 75 properties would be in the special limited category and 195 proper-

ties would be in the limited (non-protected) category. ! Any new houses built in the neighbourhood would have to comply with mandatory design guidelines. This is to ensure new development is respectful of the existing heritage. ! If the HCA is approved, staff will get to work on a two-year work plan. That work includes looking into issues such as implementation of zoning-based incentives for the protected properties in the heritage conservation area, a voluntary “optin” to the advanced category for homes in the limited (non-protected) category, sitespecific economic analysis for the “special limited” properties, an update to the minimum standards of maintenance bylaw for protected heritage properties, and a full review of the policy after two years.

‘I think it’s wrong what you are doing...’

Continued from page 1 to go and save what the majority of residents said was important to them,” she said. “Queen’s Park has survived mostly by serendipity. It started with a group of people who, over the years, stood up for the heritage in a single-family neighbourhood.What was important to those people is important to people today – their neighbourhood, the diversity of heritage houses, the greenspace, all of which gives us a sense of place.” Gary Holisko, another member of the working group, said the neighbourhood’s unique character is “fragile” and at risk of being lost without measures to preserve that character. “I also don’t want to see my property lose its value, I don’t want excessive restrictions or unfair policies, and I don’t think the HCA, as crafted, will do this,” he said. “Through the research we did and the studies we looked at, there is no evidence to suggest that is the case.” Not all Queen’s Park residents, however, are sold on the concept. “We love our neighbourhood and do not wish to see it negatively divided into win-

ners and losers,” said resident Mark Bice. Bice disagrees with the notion that the neighbourhood will be bulldozed if the HCA doesn’t go through. He said the proposed policy favours owners of large, beautiful homes over owners of small, modest homes. “This HCA policy is a campaign of fear. Anyone who wishes to hang on to their property rights, the same rights that every other resident in New Westminster has, is branded as being anti-heritage and accused of being developer-friendly,” he said. “Some of us often comment that they wish we were houses because then we might actually matter to certain people in this room.We feel completely powerless and demoralized.” Longtime Queen’s Park resident Brenda McEachern Keen said development pressures put the neighbourhood at risk if action isn’t taken to preserver its heritage. “If we get this wrong, we can’t fix it.We can’t put Humpty together again once demolished,” she said. “I would like to think of all as stewards of our heritage.This is not about any individual’s property value, it’s about the fabric of our community going

forward, honouring what we have inherited and protecting it for those who follow.” Jim Hutson said proposals to increase density and provide special consideration for owners of small lots will make it attractive for buyers and sellers in the neighbourhood. “I think you have done everything possible and succeeded in trying to find the middle ground to heed the wishes of the vast majority so we continue to ooze charm, not lose it,” he said. Unlike the Dunbar and Kitsilano neighborhoods in Vancouver, Queen’s Park resident Daniel Fontaine doesn’t think his neighbourhood is at risk of the wholesale demolition of older, character homes. Instead of addressing problems that don’t exist, he suggested the city should be focusing on real issues like improving its bad roads and addressing rising property taxes. “I truly hope council will think long and hard about what you are about to do. However, sadly, based on what I have seen and what I have read, I think this is a done deal. Surely it can’t be lost on you that 2018 is a civic election year in the city. And while you

may not have campaigned on this in your platform in 2014, it’s hard to imagine that it won’t be top of mind for a number of New Westminster residents when they go back to the polls next year,” he said. Fontaine, who has voiced concerns about all council members being on the same political slate, said no one on council campaigned on creating a heritage conservation area during the 2014 civic election. “This bylaw is shortsighted. It clearly is divisive, and if it is rammed through before the next election it will serve as a powerful reminder of what happens when there are no opposing views around this table,” he said. Kyle Davison said the city should poll the 702 properties in the neighbourhood and asked if they support the heritage conservation area. He said the plan will strip 500 owners of their property rights. “I think it’s wrong what you are doing – stripping property rights is a terrible thing to do to save buildings. Awful,” he said. “Please don’t do it.”

Going to the mat for Royal City’s honour Mr. India takes on Azeem the Dream in a jam-packed day of wrestling in NewWestminster By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Mr. India hopes to lay a smack down on Azeem the Dream when he brings some rockin’ wrestling to the Royal City this summer. New West resident and business owner Rish Koya, whose Mr. India persona is All Star Wrestling’s current heavyweight champion, is planning a jam-packed day of wrestling at Royal City Centre on Saturday, July 22. “It’s going to be an exciting show,” Koya said. “It’s something that’s never been done before. It’s going to be wrestling, but it’s not your typical wrestling show. It’s going to be very, very entertaining. Expect lots of surprises and things you have never ever seen before. There’s only one way to find out – you have to be there.” The Royal City Wrestling event is taking place in the food court at Royal City Centre, where a wrestling ring will be set up. “We are pretty excited,” Koya said. “We want to really localize it and make it about New West.That’s why we are calling it Royal City Wrestling.This will be our inaugural show.” The event will be taking on the same day as the Uptown Live street festival, which features live music on outdoor stages in uptown New West, as well as food trucks and other offerings. Hayley Sinclair, a New West resident who helps organize local events, believes the two free events will mesh well. “I think it’s a good complement to the music. I think it’s a really similar style,” she said. “People are

there to have a good day. It’s family-friendly.The whole wrestling show is familyfriendly, so it’s a great fit.” While she’s never been part of a wrestling event, Sinclair said she’s met a lot of wrestling fans in New West. “I am always surprised at how many fans of wrestling there are,” she said. “When you are talking about it, you find there are a lot of wrestling fans in New West. I don’t follow wrestling – it’s not really in my realm of interest until now – but every time I mention it, there’s people who are very supportive, think it’s a great idea, think it’s a great venue. It’s such a fabulous spot up here.” Royal City Wrestling’s event at Royal City Centre will feature a tournament during the day and a show that evening. “We will be running matches throughout the day. So all the folks in the mall will be, ‘what the heck is going on?’ type thing.Wrestlers will be walking around the mall in full costumes doing their thing and promoting a bit,” Koya said. “The main show is going to be that night.” The main event will fea-

ture a number of wrestlers from All Star Wrestling, which is also providing a brand new ring for the event. “Mr. India is going to be the main event against Azeem the Dream,” said Koya, who owns Koya Bell Fitness in uptown New West. “The thing is, Mr. India is originally from India, but of course he lives in New West. He’s a proud New Wester and he’s a current All Star Wrestling heavyweight champion.” Azeem the Dream, however, is far from being a fan of the Royal City. “He is part of Team U.S.A. He doesn’t like Canada, and he specifically hates the City of New Westminster. He has a strong dislike for New Westminster,” Koya said. “He says he’s got a lot of stuff on New West and promises to let us all know in the coming weeks.There is going to be video after video of him telling us what’s wrong with our city.” That doesn’t sit well with Mr. India. “I can’t let that go unanswered,” Koya said. “This is my city, this is my home.” Koya, who attended a wrestling shows in New

Westminster as a kid, hopes to bring wrestling to various facilities around town in the future. “It is a family show.When parents come, they get to become kids again,” he said. “It’s that three or four hours

of suspended disbelief, completely away from everyday life.” Sinclair supports the idea of bringing new entertainment offerings to the Royal City. “I think this is the kind

of event the city would really love and embrace. I see a real fit for it – that’s why I am involved,” she said. “I see this as a gap that we don’t have in terms of entertainment.”

‘I look at things differently’ Family-friendly PLANNING

housing proposed

Continued from page 1

“I remember being five years old and breaking the champagne over the Marguerite H,” she said. Later, Robertson vividly remembers knitting socks for soldiers fighting in the First World War. At age 20, she made a trip to Vancouver to visit a sister. Here, she married a young doctor, and the couple spent five years living in Tofino, when that town was just a tiny fishing village populated almost entirely by Norwegian and Japanese fishermen and their families and the residents of two Indian residential schools. The only communication with the outside world was a CPR steamer that came by every 10 days. “I really grew up because I couldn’t let him down in anything,” Robertson said of that time with her husband, “so I did everything – to the point that we had an appendix out on my dining room table, and I was the only one who helped.” After more than a century, such life experiences have changed the way Robertson thinks, she said. “I look at things differently,” she

said. “I look at every side.When I was young, I used to think ‘I want it. I do this. I like to do that,’ but now I look at both sides.” These days, Robertson relies on the New Westminster Public Library to deliver her latest adventures. “Life is still interesting,” she

said. “I don’t know what I would do without books.” Besides eating well and avoiding milk (“I wasn’t fond of milk,” she said), Robertson believes there’s one more thing that’s led to her long life. “I was well loved,” she said.

A new housing development in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood more than doubles the city’s family-friendly housing policy requirements. Porte Homes’ Capitol development will include 75 units in a six-storey building facing Auckland Street and 13 townhouse units along the base of the building facing Quebec Street.The apartment includes nine onebedroom suites, 18 one-bedroom plus den suites, 32 twobedroom/two bedroom and den suites and 16 three-bedroom suites. “This amounts to almost 70 per cent two-and three-bedroom suites, which is more than double the number required by City of New Westminster policy,” said an overview of the project. “These larger suites are suitable for both families and people who want to downsize. Our goal is to provide housing options for everyone, whether it be a young family or seniors wishing to age in place.”

Following a public hearing on April 24, city council supported rezoning the site from light industrial mixed-use to comprehensive development (1002 Auckland St.) in order to allow the 88-unit development to proceed. “I have concerns about street parking,” said a resident who lives in one of three single-family homes located across the street from the site. “Our house does not have any driveway, so we have to park on the street. Already with the construction that has started it’s very difficult for us to find parking.” Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering services, said staff is willing to discuss parking with the resident. Lowrie also confirmed there would be a sidewalk along the Quebec Street frontage of the project, even though some reports to council indicated no sidewalk would be provided. – Theresa McManus

The Charlotte Goodwin House is an example of a mid-century post-and-beam house, designed by architect G. Douglas Wylie and built for Mrs. Walter Goodwin in 1962 (for $12,000). The home, originally 900 sq. ft. with two bedrooms and one bathroom, was featured in the November 1963 Western Homes and Living magazine.

New changes for proposed Queen’s Park Conservation Area After three years of research and discussion, the City-appointed Queen’s Park Working Group (a group of 12 residents who represent a cross-section of Queen’s Park stakeholders, including representation from the Queen’s Park Residents Association, the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society; and the real estate and the architectural community) concluded that an HCA is the only way to control demolitions, new construction and renovations to the exterior façade (front and side) of homes in the neighbourhood.

The City has proposed two protection categories for Queen’s Park:

A Heritage Conservation Area (HCA) is an area management tool that offers protection for existing buildings and design control for new construction. It’s designed to:

Limited Protection For homes built after 1940, the current permit process would continue for a new building or for subdivision of a property.

retain heritage assets in a community,

ensure any new development is compatible with the neighbourhood’s existing character, and

provide design guidelines for any new development.

Advanced Protection Homes built in 1940 and earlier will require a Heritage Alteration Permit from the City prior to obtaining other required permits – but only for alterations to the front façade, sides or roofline. Interior renovations or additions to the rear of homes are not part of this process and will take place as presently allowed. Some homes in this category will still be approved for demolition, and redevelopment or subdivisions will still take place.

In response to community concerns raised about property values for smaller homes or lots in the Advanced Protection category, the City is proposing these options: Special Limited Protection – The City is proposing this new sub-category to the Advanced Protection level for smaller homes

and lots. If the HCA is approved, Coriolis Consulting will begin a detailed analysis of the heritage, economic and renovation potential for homes that fall into Special Limited Protection category. The affected properties will either be reclassified as Advanced or Limited when an HCA review takes place in 2019. Restoration rather than demolition can be achieved with incentives: City staff will begin an exploration, consultation and implementation process for proposed incentives for Advanced Category homes (built in 1940 or earlier) if the HCA is approved. Some of the incentives under consideration include: n

an increased floor space ratio (FSR) of between 0.1 and 0.2 FSR

full basements exempted from FSR calculations – a livability issue for people in small houses without basements. Under this potential incentive, homeowners could create or improve their existing lower level to add more living space or possibly a rental or inlaw suite.

stratification to multi-dwelling properties; and subdivision to small lot properties.

City Council has approved mandatory design guidelines in the HCA that will apply to new residential homes, alterations to heritage buildings and landscape design to fit in with existing heritage homes on the street. The design guidelines are flexible and won’t be based on a specific era because best practice in architectural design for heritage areas is not to copy existing styles. They would instead be based on New Westminster’s traditional architectural character elements – referred to as “Traditional Style” – for incorporation into new builds. The first annual New Westminster Heritage Homes Tour began thirty-eight years ago with the same goal we share today: open beautiful period homes to the public to educate and inspire; and show why our City’s architectural gems should be saved and re-imagined for today’s lifestyle instead of demolished for the landfill.

Arts & Entertainment A Little Night Music offers a delectable night at the theatre Continued from page 42 perform as eavesdropping on their evening. Singing Sondheim brings its own set of musical challenges, and director Peter Jorgensen has assembled a cast that doesn’t just rise to the challenge but soars right through it. KateyWright as Desirée Armfeldt is at the core and the heart of the production, bringing humanity and vulnerability to the role of the actress whose youth is behind her but who hasn’t lost her way with the male half of the species. Her understated performance of the show’s best-known song, Send in the Clowns, is striking for its very lack of showiness.Wright lets us in on the moment Desirée sheds her “leading lady” persona and presents an honest, rueful and wryly human observation about her poor timing in love. Perfectly matched with

Wright isWarren Kimmel, the performer who has become NewWestminster’s favourite leading man (OK, he’s become my favourite leading man; I’m just speaking on behalf of the whole city here). Kimmel, as Desirée’s former lover, Fredrik Egerman, has a warm voice that fills the room with apparent effortlessness, and he allows his Fredrik to be charmingly and fallibly human. They’re joined by a cast that shines around them: Patti Allan as the deliciously dignified and cuttingly witty Madame Armfeldt; Nick Fontaine as Desirée’s married lover, Count CarlMagnus Malcolm; Lindsay Warnock as the Countess Charlotte Malcolm; and Arinea Hermans as Fredrik’s young wife, Anne.Warnock and Hermans work particularly well together in their eviscerating first-act duet, Every Day a Little Death.

Buy one entree & 2 beverages at regular price & receive a 2nd entree of equal or lesser value (up to $12 value) for FREE!

Caleb Di Pomponio, as Fredrik’s lovelorn seminarian son Henrik, is a particular standout, along with Rose McNeil as the maid, Petra (who nails one of the night’s most stunning performances with The Miller’s Son in the second act). Special mention must be made of the youngest cast member, NewWestminster’s own Elizabeth Irving, who displays poise and vocal talent that belie her 13 years, in the role of Desirée’s daughter Fredrika. Immerse this talented cast in Sondheim’s rich melodies and clever lyrics, dress

them in sumptuous and playful costumes by Jessica Bayntun, and surround them with the fluidly elegant sets of Alan Brodie, and you have a recipe for a delectable night at the theatre. As Madame Armfeldt tells her granddaughter, the summer night smiles three times (once on the youth, once on the fools, and once on the old). In this case, add a fourth – the production that smiles on its audience, and sends them home smiling too. Buy tickets through www. ticketsnw.ca or at 604-5215050. It’s on until May 21.

Singing Sondheim: Thirteen-year-old Elizabeth Irving of New Westminster is Fredrika, and Patti Allan is her grandmother, Madame Armdfelt, in Patrick Street Productions’ A Little Night Music.

By Dr. C. Hammoud M.H., Ph.D. Calcification can be minimized using this natural formulation. Bell Calcium Build-Up (Product #71) can help reduce calcificaton in the joints, organs, arteries, and other soft tissues. Calcification of the joints often comes with osteoarthritis. Bell Calcium Build-Up does one more important thing, it helps the body to use calcium properly. Calcium stays soluble and is directed to the bones, where it is (Product #71, NPN 80057769) needed. Names of people and towns are on our website and in our catalogue: !“Within a week of using Calcium Build-Up, the lumps on my fingers have gone away.”!“I’m surprised to see actual results of the build-up gradually disappearing. I also believe it will reduce plaque from my arteries, where I cannot see it.”!“I was aware of calcium and hardening of the arteries. I tried Bell Calcium Build-Up and after one bottle I started to notice less stiffening in my knees, and much to my surprise, a difference in my hands.”!“I had limited joint mobility. After taking Calcium Build-Up for eight months, I have progressed to walking 5-10 miles every day.”

Works by cleansing the blood from the inside, instead of attacking the skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Helps with eczema, psoriasis, acne, and rosacea. !“After one week, my acne became quite mild and after two weeks, it had completely vanished. I suffered for five stressful years with acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Clear Skin “saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I had skin problems for years.” Zach Lustgarten, 18, Oshawa, ON.!“Red nose/cheeks gone in less than a week. I was fighting it for thirty years with topical creams and prescriptions without (Product #60, NPN 80063317) getting satisfaction. I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. I will take it for the rest of my life when needed.” Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON. “I had psoriasis patches on over 95% of my body. For the last five years, I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Clear Skin, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within two days, I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before.” Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC. “For six years, my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams. After taking Bell Clear Skin for just a few days, my eczema itching stopped and my face started to clear up. After suffering so long, I am amazed with the results.” Andy Yuen, 58, Vancouver, BC. Results may vary from one person to another.

Arts & Entertainment New Media Gallery builds bridges BRIDGE exhibition opens this Friday at Anvil Centre gallery Bridges connect; they balance; they suspend. The New Westminster New Media Gallery is exploring the artistic possibilities of the bridge in its new exhibition, BRIDGE, running May 20 to July 16 at the gallery. An opening reception is set for Friday, May 19 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. The show features three works: Stairwell, by Vancouver artists Josh Hite and Scott Billings; AcousticalVisions of the Golden Gate Bridge, by American artist Bill Fontana; and Drive, by artist Willie Doherty of Northern Ireland. “Over time bridges have taught us tension, compression, suspension, balance and connection. At some point the bridge became a powerful metaphor, exemplifying the search for connectivity in both the physical and metaphysical worlds and through the realm of imagination,” says a press release about the show. “In this exhibition our rela-

tionship with the notion of a bridge is embodied first through physical experience; the sensational and sensory aspects of these works are rooted in vivid (re)enactments of structure, light and sound.” Sarah Joyce, directorcurator of the gallery, is pleased to be featuring the work of local artists in this exhibition, with Hite and Billings’ Stairwell. “We’re very excited that we have found a way to present it,” she said in an email. “We first saw it last year and knew immediately we wanted to show it. It’s a big, complex work in terms of how it is installed and how it works.We know people will love it.” The work was filmed inside a hidden stairwell within the Burrard Bridge, documenting a forgotten space. “Drifting between surveillance and cinema, the dollying camera stirs up fleeting moments of narrative and reveals the trace of those

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. If you have any questions, please contact Rick Molstad at 604.831.1821 or molstad.rick@gmail.com and we would be pleased to answer your enquiries. Hoping to see you on July 11 . th

’BORO KIDS FEST

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The annual Queensborough Children’s Festival is taking place on Saturday, June 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ryall Park, 920 Ewen Ave. It runs rain or shine. WHAT’S THE PLAN? This free, fun-filled family event celebrates children of all ages and includes interactive play, live entertainment, craft stations, food and more. Nikki Lajeunesse, a

recreation programmer at the Queensborough Community Centre, said about 25 community displays will be setting up tents, The day’s entertainment includes a Bollywood-inspired performance, as well as tunes by The Bluesberries and The Smi:)e Band. IS THERE ANYTHING NEW HAPPENING THIS YEAR? “Some additional special features this year

is that we’re featuring our young entrepreneur marketplace where kids can sell their own handmade products,” Lajeunesse said in an email to the Record. “Also, our Queensborough knitting group has knit 150 red and white washcloths in celebration of Canada’s 150 birthday. Guests of the festival can let us know what the best part of being a kid in Canada is and trade it for a handmade cloth.” HOW DID THIS EVENT GET STARTED? The family of threeyear-old Megan Gunderson raised money for a new playground at Ryall Park in memory of the youngster who died after being hit by a hit-andrun driver in front of her Queensborough home on June 20, 1996. The parks and rec department and the Queensborough Special Programs Committee expanded on the event held by the Gunderson family at the playground each year, incorporating entertainment and family-friendly offerings into a festival. – By Theresa McManus

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS OR TO BECOME A MEMBER, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE Filming in New Westminster is a common sight, especially in the downtown neighbourhood. It’s common to see rows of trucks and lots of cables, and sometimes experience brief delays as they work to get the take ‘just right’. Social media is often full of images of celebrities and interesting angles of how it all comes together. But have you ever thought about the impact filming has on the City from a business perspective? More than 25 productions have happened in 2017 so far, and each time there are benefits to the city as permits are required for many different parts of a production such as street closures, parking, or police assistance to manage traffic safety. In 2015, more than $550,000 gross revenue was as a result of more than 100 filming days in New Westminster. In 2016, those number rose significantly: 2016 produced 127 permits resulting in 203 filming days and just shy of $910,000 in gross revenue. This is huge for our community as we delve into a new economy that is knowledge-based. In the February 2017 issue of Moviemaker Magazine, Greater Vancouver was rated as the number one place to live and make films across North America (tied with New York). According to recent report from CreativeBC, making a living in the film industry is a fact of life for many residents in BC. Based on the home postal code of the employees, in 2016 there were 1585 New Westminster residents who earned $37.9million dollars in wages. That is a LOT of local spending power! The New Westminster Chamber of Commerce believes in embracing industries such as creative or knowledge based ones as our community redefines itself based on a global economy. Our city is stronger for it. We hope you can join us for our upcoming Leadership Dinner on May 25, where we are proud to host Peter Leitch, President of North Shore Studios and Mammoth Studios and Chair of the Motion Picture Production Industry Association of B.C. He will be speaking to the issues and opportunities the movie industry here in BC and specifically New Westminster are facing. It is an opportunity not to be missed.

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES

SUMMER CAMP CORRESPONDENCE

Summer camp is an exciting way for children to spend their extended vacations from the classroom. Camps cater to various interests, including sports, crafts and even technological hobbies. Children who attend overnight camps may spend several nights away from home. Some kids take this in stride, while others, possibly away from home for the ﬁrst time, may experience some homesickness. Staying in touch while the kids are at camp can help alleviate fears and show children their parents care. Camps now handle communication issues differently than they might have when today’s parents were campers. While it once common for campers to send handwritten letters or short missives home to mom and dad, technology has changed that. Today’s campers may have access to email accounts, or they even may be allowed to bring mobile phones along. This can facilitate communication, but it also may take away from the camping experience. Parents need to ﬁnd a balance between what might be too little or too much contact with campers. After all, camp is kids’ chance to grow independent for a few days or weeks. • Learn camp rules. The camp will likely provide information

SUMMER FUN FOR KIDS

Summer vacation often starts with high expectations. Children are excited about the prospect of fun days outdoors playing with friends, while parents anxiously await relaxing months without the responsibilities of school and extracurricular clubs. But once summer vacation arrives and the ﬁrst few days have passed, parents often ﬁnd that the litany of cheers and giggles transform into a chorus of “I’m bored.” Many parents pore over ideas that will keep their children busy throughout the summer. Many activities that come to mind tend to be expensive, so if cutting costs is a priority, parents might need to think outside the box to come up with entertaining ideas that won’t break the bank.

Camp – Summer camp is a popular way for kids to spend their summers, but many camps are

expensive. The American Camp Association has found that overnight camps can cost anywhere from $325 to $780 a week. Day camp fees may be $100 to $275 per week. Parents who send their children to camp for an entire season might pay anywhere from $3,000 to $9,000 for the seven- to nine-week program.

Parents looking for an alternative to costly camps should consider local programs that offer summer activities. Libraries, schools and childcare centers may have programs that run the length of summer and are considerably less expensive than more formal camps. A YMCA or even a swim club may also put together activities. Parents whose children attend afterschool sporting classes, such as karate or soccer, may ﬁnd that the organizations offer a camp or summer program.

Royal Columbian Hospital is grateful to folks who showed a lot of heart and donated money for upgraded equipment in the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab. Interventional cardiologists Dr. Gerald Simkus and Dr. Roger Philipp joined donors who contributed to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s Cardiac Care campaign. “Funds were raised for a $3.3-million full upgrade of the equipment in the hospital’s cardiac catheterization lab, the busiest in B.C. Those suffering from heart attacks across the health region are regularly rushed straight to Royal Columbian’s cath lab for immediate, emergency care,” said an email from the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. THANKS FOR THE SPACE The City of New Westminster is thankful to the school district for providing temporary space for its gymnastics programs. As a result of the collapse of the Queen’s Park Arenex, the city is offering gymnastics programming at the small Massey gym at New Westminster Secondary School.While the school district is providing a space for gymnastics and trampoline programming, parks and rec instructors are offering gymnastics instruction for NWSS students. “Since the loss of the Arenex, it has been very challenging to find a space capable of hosting our gym-

nastics and trampoline programs,” said Jay Young, manager of the Queen’s Park Arenex. “We are thrilled that the school district stepped up to create a win-win scenario for our community.”

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster restaurants took home awards from the 2017 Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards. Contemporary Mexican restaurant el Santo received Gold for Best Latin Restaurant, tying withVancouver’s La Mezcaleria. Located on Columbia Street, el Santo strives to provide contemporary flavours created from fresh, local and substantial West Coast ingredients. “We feel very privileged to receive this distinguished award and are absolutely thrilled to be recognized as one ofVancouver’s favourite Latin restaurants,” owner Alejandro Diaz said in a press release. “To have won this award with so many other amazing Latin restaurants in the city, especially being from NewWestminster, is such an honour.” A panel of 19 judges selected the Vancouver Magazine restaurant award winners, which celebrate the most creative menus, hottest new rooms and top chefs. Diaz opened el Santo at 680 Columbia St. in December 2015 to showcase food from his homeland. In addition to an ever-changing menu filled with contemporary Mexican cuisine, it fea-

tures more than 100 types of tequilas and mescals. “El Santo’s hibiscus and jicama enchiladas and serious bar program kept our judges coming back time and again,” said Vancouver Magazine. Two restaurants in River Market, both owned by chef Angus An, were also recognized at the wards ceremony on April 18. In the Best Pan-Asian category, Freebird received a bronze and got “multiple slow claps for its Hainanese poached chicken and umami-rich dipping sauces.” Longtail Kitchen picked up a silver in the Best Thai category, second only to An’s Maenam restaurant in Vancouver. Fratelli, which has locations inVancouver and New

Westminster, picked up an honourable mention in the Best Bakery category. AWARD-WINNING RESTAURANT MOVES The award-winning Freebird Chicken Shack is serving up an expanded menu in its new space in River Market. Chef Angus An relocated the restaurant from a space in River Market to the space that was formerly home toWally’s Burgers. The 800-square-foot counter-service eatery seats 24 in the newly renovated space that opened April 22. The larger kitchen allows for an expanded menu, and An is adding fried and grilled items for eat-in or takeout orders, according to a press release.

Big Star Sandwich Co. used a “very particular set of skills” to entice movie star Liam Neeson to visit the local eatery. Restaurant staff posted a message on the sandwich board in front the Columbia Street restaurant on May 2, in an attempt to lure in Neeson, who was filming Hard Power in the neighbourhood. “Our manager at the shop, Matt, is basically a Liam Neeson super-fan. He had his finger on the pulse of the filming. He heard Liam would be in town and said, ‘Hey, we should put out a sign.’We said, ‘Yeah, that’s a great idea,’” said Alex Johrden, director of operations, Big Star Sandwich Licensing Ltd. “We never expected he would actually show up.” But that he did. Several hours after staff put the sign out on the sidewalk, the star of films including Taken, StarWars Episode I:The Phantom Menace, Schindler’s List and Love Actually dropped in for a visit. “He walked in at 6:30 p.m. He walked in, walked up to the counter and in that voice from the Taken monologue that everyone loves to quote, and he said, ‘Where’s my free sandwich?’” Johrden said. “They were all speechless. I guess one of them eventually asked if he’d like anything. He unfortunately did not have time to eat, but he did offer to take a photo with the boys and the sign.” After the visit, Big Star tweeted a photo of Serge Patoka and Kyle Gus with Neeson, along with the cap-

Columbia Street in 2016. A second location opened in Burnaby in October 2016 and a third will soon open in Surrey, with future franchises planned for Maple Ridge and Langley/Aldergrove. “We have been extremely happy with how it’s going, even before all this attention,” Johrden said. “This is just the icing on the cake.” With downtown New West being a hot spot for filming, will Big Star try to entice famous clients in for a bite to eat in the future? “We will just keep doing what we are doing,” Johrden said. “It could be a bit of a running joke that every time we hear a star is filming we will throw something out there and see what happens. No hard plans.”

tion: “Holy f**k, it worked! #LiamNeeson.” That tweet led to attention from media outlets, including TMZ, ET Canada, CNN, People Magazine, USWeekly and newspapers from as far away as Ireland. “It was overwhelming. Overwhelming and surprising,” Johrden said. “Honestly, it did not seem like the kind of story that would take off the way it did.” Neeson’s visit and the coverage that ensued was definitely good for business. “Excellent,” Johrden said of the impact. “We could not be happier.” Clint Bondzuk and Julie Rule opened Big Star Sandwich Company Ltd. on 12th Street in March 2013, relocating to a larger space on

Getting ready for the big boom on Victoria Day Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery is once again in the final stages of preparation for the salute to Queen Elizabeth and to the memory of Queen Victoria on Victoria Day, May 22. Since the late 1800s, this group has honoured the Queen by firing a salute of “21 guns” using two anvils, gun powder and a red-hot poker.This year will be no exception. One Anvil Battery item that goes on year after year is research into the group – those people who have been members over the years, how it came together in the first place, the various logistics of the salutes in New Westminster over the years, and the wide variety of links that connect anvil salutes in other communities throughout the province. This year we found a par-

ticularly interesting item in the Pacific Canadian paper of September 1916 – the obituary of Capt. Adolphus Peele. Peele was a wonderful character who was closely tied to many local occasions. Because he gathered a lot of local weather information, he was always important to organizers of early May Days since he could let people know if the weather would be good or not. He was a very dignified individual and proudly wore his uniform of the New Westminster Rifles, a volunteer militia group in the city. He was frequently seen either leading or organizing military and parade events and, of course, marching proudly. Peele was also an active member of the Hyack Fire Brigade, and the article said that this fire company had “no more energetic or enthusiastic member.” The obituary adds that “he mustered and captained

the firing squad of the Hyack Anvil Battery’s annual Royal Salute on the Queen’s birthday, from pioneer days down to date.”The obituary includes much more information of interest that we will look at in a future column. Captain Peele was a wonderful fellow with a great story. Another account located this year is a description of the Anvil Salute in 1906 found in another early paper, the Daily News.This article gives us a very nice list of names of the members along with their positions in the Battery.The names of those involved that year were Captain Peele, exmayor Ovens, Pickles, Farren, Huntley, Mahoney, Donahoe, Stewardson, Collier and Cooksley. Over the years we too have collected a long and growing list of members and the positions they held – a truly interesting list of people in the community.

Royals’ striker remembered with Hall honour Leading scorer with Dominion champions of 1928, ’30 and ’36 commemorated in Soccer Canada tribute Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

On a powerful Westminster Royals soccer team, Jack Coulter was an elite finisher. Known to many as ‘Jock’ – he was tagged by sports reporters of the day with such labels as “an opportunist,” “unselfish” and “in a class by himself” – Coulter had a way of filling the net. Now, nearly 57 years after his death, Coulter is being welcomed into a class of his peers. The Canada Soccer Hall of Fame has

unveiled an honours group from the nation’s golden era, called the Connaught Series Legends, as part of Canada’s 150th anniversary celebration. Coulter is one of 17 players being celebrated. There are few around today who could recall Coulter’s football mastery, but lifelong Royal City resident Jack Fulton recalls his former co-worker at the New Westminster Fire Department as a low-key guy who “was one helluva snooker player.” “(Coulter) was kind of a fun guy, a good guy and a good athlete,” said Fulton, who was 17 years Coulter’s junior. He notes that

Coulter also played for the Salmonbellies. “I remember him coming to our fishing derbys.” As a member of the Royals, Coulter was a classic finisher who was counted on to score the big Jock Coulter goals. In the first ConPHOTO COURTESY naught Cup final for West- SOCCER CANADA minster in 1928, the Victoria-raised centre forward scored four times as they stopped the Montreal CNR 6-1 in their tracks in a game played in Winni-

peg before a reported crowd of 4,000 fans. It gave the B.C. champions a 2-1 series win and the Dominion bragging rights. On a team captained by future hall-offamer Dave Turner, the 26-year-old Coulter counted 15 goals over six matches. Described by a newspaper scribe at the time as “a heavy player of the bustling type,” Coulter scored the championship-clinching goal in 1930 as well, as the Royals edged then-defending champion Montreal, this time by a thin 1-0 margin.

Rovers display skill, energy on pro circuit Newest franchise in USL-Premier Development League, local team still seeking first win Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

For a new franchise, the TSS Rovers have already experienced more than their share of growing pains in just a handful of weeks. And with four games under their belt, the Rovers look to have absorbed some of those lessons and turned them into something positive. The club picked up its first point of the USL-Premier Development League season last week, when they treated their home-opening crowd at Burnaby’s Swangard Sta-

dium to a 2-2 draw with Eugene, Ore.-based Lane United. They followed that with a 2-0 road loss to the Portland Timbers u23 in Salem, Ore., on Tuesday. In that game, the Timbers set the tone early, and took the lead when Francesco Amorosino counted his first of two, burying his shot from 10-yards out, 20 minutes into the first half. He counted the game’s only other goal just before halftime. Last week in their home opener,TSS looked sharp when they erased a 1-0 deficit on KristianYliHietanen’s second goal of the sea-

son, thanks to a brilliant set-up from defender Zach Verhoven. In the second half, Mamadi Camara counted his second goal of the year off a penalty kick. “We were in the lead with 12 minutes to go but we gave up the equalizer,” remarked assistant coach Will Cormack. “From that point we held on.” The team’s record is now 0-3-1, with the club slapped with a threepoint penalty in the standings due to using an ineligible player in the opening loss to Calgary. The roster is composed of mostly Lower Mainland university play-

ers, including SFU products Ryan Dhillon and Michael North and UBC’s Chad Bush and Karn Phagura. A handful spent time in the Whitecaps Residency program. “We’re a very young squad, but we are sticking to the idea that this is a under-23 development league… Our first and foremost goal is to develop Canadian soccer players,” said Cormack. The PDL is three levels below MLS soccer, and has been operating since 1995. The Rovers play host to Calgary Foothills FC on Friday, 7 p.m. at Swangard Stadium.

If hockey fans are bemoaning the lack of offence in the third round of the NHL playoffs, a trip to Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday nights could just be what the doctor ordered. The New Westminster junior A Salmonbellies risk an expensive electricity bill with all the red lights they’re triggering, after scoring 31 goals in their last two games. By beating Victoria 16-4 on the weekend and Langley 15-3 on Monday, New West is now the only unbeaten team in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. Led by 2016 league scoring champion Connor Robinson, the ’Bellies put their foot to the pedal after some close action in both first periods. Against Langley, Carter Dickson’s powerplay tally with 2:03 left in the first period broke a 3-3 tie and set New West up for a roaring run.They scored 11 unanswered goals over the final 40 minutes, lashing the Langley net with 61 shots. Robinson scored five times and set up two others, while Drew Belgrave and Taylor Jensen netted two goals each. While Victoria outshot New West 50-44, Erik Kratz turned back 46 shots and got four-goal efforts from Colton Bykowsky and Robinson. New West will pay tribute to longtime president and general manager Harry Ferguson, who passed away last December, in a ceremony prior to their game against Coquitlam on Tuesday (May 23, 8 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena).

Argyle ends Hyacks season Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The season for the New Westminster Hyacks senior girls soccer team came to a certain stop Monday, much earlier than hoped. Facing North Shore champion Argyle, the Hyacks were running uphill most of the game before falling 4-0. Without the services of star forward Nisa Reehal, New West battled hard but managed just three shot attempts, while Argyle had 16 in the game.

“(Argyle was) very deserving of the win,” noted New West coach Wayne McCarthy. “ They probably had 75 per cent possession. “We really missed (Reehal). When she’s in the lineup, the other team has to contend with her speed. We just didn’t have the same pace.” Argyle took the lead just six minutes into the game, and was followed at the 20-minute mark on a well-struck shot that handcuffed keeper Emma Machuik. The Hyacks launched a strong offensive foray midway through the first half, but the No.

2-ranked team in B.C. threw a wet blanket on it when they drove down field and buried a shot off a loose scramble. Machuik made a valiant attempt to stop a penalty kick early in the second half, while New West had a goal called back due to an offside call. Turning in strong performances were defenders Brianna Bates and Sonia Sarai. Forward Christine Singh worked diligently to create some scoring chances, while Georgia Brydon helped steady the defence over the second half.

Coulter was “in a class by himself”

SHORE NEWS

Continued from page 56 That year’s victory was by a much tighter margin, with Montreal outscoring Westminster 5-2 but the westerners took home the hardware on the strength of two 1-0 wins. Coulter led the Royals to one more Connaught title in 1936, where they bested Winnipeg two games to one. Over five games in the semifinals and finals, he tallied 13 times, including a seven-goal outburst in a 12-0 shellacking of the Calgary Callies. In those three years, the New West firefighter racked up 41 goals over 19 games at the Connaught Series – which covered the regional quarter and semifinals, and the national championship.

His status as a goal scorer garnered glowing media attention during an era of dance contests and Bennett buggies. A Saskatoon Star-Phoenix story said he was “in a class by himself at centre forward; he knows where the goal is and drives them hard and true.” Coulter joins previously inducted members from the Royals’ Dominion champions George Anderson, Bill Findler,Trevor Harvey, Aubrey Sanford and Turner in the Canada Soccer Hall of Fame. In 1960, after Coulter succumbed to injuries suffered in a car accident, Findler reflected on his teammate: “Jock was the outstanding scorer on a team of outstanding scorers.” — with contributed info from Soccer Canada

KUCHERAN, Beverley Marilyn

September 15, 1943 - May 10, 2017 KOUWENHOVEN, Dirk A. May 21, 1942 − April 25, 2017 It is with love and deep sadness we say farewell to Dirk A. Kouwenhoven (Dick), who was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, and a cherished friend and mentor to many. Hailing from the historic city of Delft in the Netherlands, Dick was the ninth child in a vibrant family of 12. Born during World War II in German−occupied Holland, Dick often recalled the joyful celebrations in the streets of Delft following the liberation on May 5, 1945. Dick’s father, a second−generation carpenter, maintained a busy workshop at the back of the family home, which was an endless source of fascination for Dick and his siblings. The hand−crafted wooden windows and doors his father produced would inspire Dick’s pursuit in another craft, as a type compositor and printer. Working as an apprentice at a local print shop while attending technical school in nearby Rotterdam, Dick began a long and successful career in the printing industry. At the urging of his younger brother John, the two brothers decided to immigrate to Canada in January of 1965, joining their older siblings Simon, Frank and Bill. Dick and John traveled by train from Montreal to Vancouver seeing for the first time the scale and beauty of their new country and the adventure and opportunity it offered. In Vancouver, Dick found employment as a typesetter at a local printing company and six months later, he found himself handling production at a small two−person print shop called Hemlock Printers.

With broken hearts we sadly announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Greatgrandmother, Wife, Sister and Friend. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Max, of 57 years with whom she shared a love like no other. Her two sons, Brian (Vicki), Darren (Cathy), her two daughters, Sherry (Joe), Sandy (Lorne), 12 grandchildren and one great-grandson. Also survived by 3 sisters, 1 brother, a sister-in-law and many relatives in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Our family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of Royal Columbian Hospital, HAU/ICU for the exceptional care of our dear mother. A Celebration of Beverley’s Life will be held at Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel 219 Sixth Street, New Westminster on Saturday May 27, 2017 at 1:00 pm. Refreshments to follow the service. Our family asks that in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to: Heart and Stroke Foundation. * WE LOVE YOU MOM * Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel 604-521-4881

In early 1966, Dick met the love of his life, Klaaske (Clara), who was visiting her older sister and brother, also Dutch immigrants to Canada. They married in December of 1967, with daughter Vanessa born in 1969 and son Richard born in 1972. Dick’s near 50−year career at the helm of Hemlock Printers officially began in the summer of 1968 after he purchased and incorporated the company. In the early 1970’s, Dick was joined by brother and business partner John, followed by brothers Bill and Frits who, along with other dedicated staff, laid the foundation for a thriving and continually evolving printing business. Dick had a dedication to quality, to ’doing things right’ with pride and care, and to respect and support everyone he worked with. He navigated Hemlock through generations of technological change and turbulent economic times, while always looking ahead and maintaining his principles of respect and integrity. The successful business, which thrives to this day, is a testament to Dick’s passion for his craft and for the inspirational leadership he provided to the entire Hemlock ’family’. Over his decades in business, countless relationships were formed with clients, suppliers, industry peers and non−profit and community organizations, all of whom experienced Dick’s perpetual optimism, creativity, intellect and his wonderful sense of humour. Dick’s adventurous spirit led to many family vacations with Clara and the kids, which are the source of many fond memories, stories and laughter. He was an avid sailor spending weekends and holidays exploring the San Juan and Gulf Islands on the family boat, the Delft Blue. In the 80’s and 90’s, Dick’s sailing adventures also took him to Hawaii on three occasions, once as lead (and winning) navigator. We lost him too soon but take comfort in the knowledge that he lived a full, active and accomplished life, which affected so many in a positive way. To his family and friends, Dick was always a loving and caring spirit who will live forever in our hearts. He is survived and will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 49 years, Clara (nee Boonstra), daughter Vanessa (Mike), son Richard (Pippa), his four grandchildren Genevieve, Jonathan, Georgina and Naomi, his surviving siblings Andries (Dingena), Joke, Frank (Shirley), Bill (Sieny), Henk (Jannie) and Frits (Darlene), and his many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Dick’s Life, open to his family, friends and colleagues will take place on Saturday, May 27th from 2:00PM−4:30PM at the Vancouver Convention Centre (West Building). If you wish to attend, please RSVP by emailing celebrationoflife@hemlock.com. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to the BC Cancer Foundation.
