APPLE FEST FUN

THOSE ARE SOME APPLES: Above, Frances

Johnson cores apples at the second annual New West Apple Press Fest. At right, Travis, left, presses apples with TobyAnne and five-year-old Griffyn Stanley. Apple Press Fest, held on Sunday at Lord Kelvin Elementary School, was organized by Mark Gifford and Will Mah with help from a neighbourhood grant from the Vancouver Foundation.

About 350 people took part in washing, coring and pressing about 1,000 pounds of apples into juice – as a reward, everyone got to take some of the juice home. Gifford said the turnout was up from the first year, adding there was a “great energy” to the event. The plan is to hold the event every year on the first Sunday of October.

THE CHANGING CITY

City paves way for affordable housing

New project in downtown NewWestminster is a two-storey building with units for low-income families

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

People with disabilities and lowincome families will find affordable housing in a new project in downtown New Westminster.

City council has rezoned 43

Hastings St., paving the way for construction of a two-storey building with three units on the ground floor and three units on the second floor. In 2015, the city requested affordable housing proposals for the city-owned site and selected a project submitted by

the Community Living Society, in partnership with Catalyst Community Developments Society.

“While it’s not an easy site to build on – it’s quite sloped – we have ended up with what has been described as a very handsome building, which I think is going

to improve the neighbourhood in which it will be situated and also provide housing for people with disabilities on the ground floor and families above,” said Ross Chilton, CEO of the Community Living Society.

Mayor Jonathan Cote thinks

the project is a creative way for New Westminster to attract affordable, non-market housing units to the community. In addition to the Hastings Street property, the city also made land available on Ewen Avenue in Queensborough Continued on page 6

Tenant calls for action on renovictions

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Toni-LeahYake is calling on the provincial government to make changes to the Residential Tenancy Act so tenants aren’t caught in the crossfire of a housing crisis.

For five years,Yake has enjoyed living in Maple Manor at 240 Third St., a 15-unit apartment complex in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood.When new owners purchased the building, she said they started talking about doing renovations, ultimately serving tenants with notices to end tenancy.

“We have absolutely no protection in this.This is all legal what they are doing, apparently,” she said. “As renters we have absolutely no protection with what’s

We have absolutely no protection happening. So not only are we being evicted, we are subject to everything that is going on – having our water cut off, having incredible noise every day for eight hours a day, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.”

While some tenants have moved elsewhere,Yake is disputing her eviction notice with the Residential Tenancy Branch, saying the owner told her on Aug. 31 that it was fine if she stayed longer, only to be served with an eviction notice the next day.

“He’s telling me one thing and he’s doing another – that’s why I am disputing it. I am hoping that I cannot be pushed out of this place until I am able to find a place that I can go and live in. I have two pets as well –

this also narrows the margin of what’s available for me drastically,” she said. “It’s very tough.”

Yake said she understands the apartment owner’s reason for renovating the building.

“They are going to rent it to other people for double the price,” she said.

Yake hopes the provincial government will make legislative changes that help prevents renovictions. She said the building was home to a diverse group of people including Syrian refugees, people on fixed incomes and residents who had lived in the building for 20 years.

“We should have rights and protections to not be feeling so vulnerable. Housing is so important. It’s built into the human psyche that we need a place to feel safe and then people like this come in and threaten that.

It is very stressful,” she said.

“A lot of people in these low-income situations, they are suffering from mental health or health issues.Then on top of it they are being displaced.We need people in government who can be the voice of change for us, to speak up against this.

That’s what I want to see.”

CLOSING LOOPHOLES Selina Robinson, B.C.’s minister of municipal affairs and housing, said it’s clear that not enough has been done over the past 16 years to protect B.C. renters. She said the government has already taken some steps to improve protection for renters by increasing funding for the Residential Tenancy Branch to reduce unacceptable wait times and to implement a compliance unit to take action against landlords and tenants who are repeat or serious offenders.

“We are also preparing to close unfair fixed-

term lease loopholes that allow bad landlords to bypass rent control.That legislation is imminent,” she said in a statement to the Record. “I have also directed ministry staff to review the Residential Tenancy Act and prepare additional options to strengthen protection for renters facing other challenging situations, including those being evicted due to renovations and demolitions.While we take some immediate first steps to protect renters, we are committed to ongoing improvements to address the many challenges facing renters in our tight rental market.”

LOW VACANCY RATES The most recent data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation suggests there’s a 0.4 va-

cancy rate in market rental units in New Westminster.

As of October 2016, that included a 0.4 per cent vacancy rate in bachelor units, a 0.5 per cent rate in onebedrooms, a 0.1 per cent vacancy rate in two-bedrooms and a 0.0 per cent vacancy rate for three-bedrooms.

“There is nowhere to go for people.We are in a housing crisis right now,”Yake said. “Where are people going? Where are people expected to go? What this guy is doing should be illegal right now. He should not legally be allowed to be displacing people from their affordable housing.”

Yake is set to make her case at the Residential Tenancy Board in mid-November. Until then, she continues to search for affordable,

decent housing.

“I haven’t found anything yet. I am still looking,” she said. “It’s really expensive.

Prices are double here in New West.”

‘WE GAVE THEM OPTIONS’ FrankYoung, a member of the Maple Manor Apartment’s management team, said the new owners purchased the building about a year ago. He said the company has a permit to do the renovations and gave tenants ample notice about the work.

“We told them about six months ago that we are doing renovations,” he said.

“We gave them options to either stay at market rent or take a buyout and look for a place.”

Young said the company has been flexible with

move-out timelines for tenants who have had trouble finding new accommodations. In addition to offering each tenant $3,000 to move out, he said the company also paid for their moving expenses and returned their damage deposits.

Young said he’s personally driven people around to help them find a new place to live, searched Craigslist with them and offered people units in one of his company’s other nearby buildings.

“We have gone over and beyond to help people,” he said. “I can give you reports from people who have been very happy with what we have done.”

Young said the owner is “paying a premium” for the building and can’t afford to Continued on page 6

What can the city do about renovictions? New West takes steps Renovictions are becoming more commonplace in the Royal City – and that’s troubling the folks at city hall.

John Stark, the city’s acting director of planning, said the city is currently tracking five to seven buildings in New Westminster that are experiencing renovictions.

Renovictions are when a property owner evicts tenants to do renovations, while demovictions are when they evict tenants so they can

demolish the building.

“Demoviction has not been an issue in New Westminster, but renovictions definitely have become more of an issue,” he said. “I think it will continue until the incentive is taken out. There will have to be changes to the Residential Tenancy Act or new powers given to city.

Right now, we just don’t have the ability to withhold a building permit.”

The city recently put forward a resolution at the

Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) that aims to address the issue of renovictions.

The resolution, approved at the UBCM convention, urges the provincial government to undertake a broad review of the Residential Tenancy Act. Specific requests include allowing renters the right of first refusal to return to their units at a rent that is no more than what the landlord could lawfully have charged, including allowable annual increases, if there had

been no interruption in the tenancy.

In 2016, New Westminster city council endorsed a Renovictions Action Plan that included a number of actions including: incorporating information on the city’s website related to tenant rights and resources; developing a renoviction fact sheet; working with tenants to determine if the landlord has all of the necessary approvals and permits; employing stop-work orders and

tickets when the necessary approvals and permits aren’t in place; and hosting information sessions related to tenant rights and resources.

“We have been very involved in this issue, probably more involved than most municipalities,” Stark said.

“As a first step what we try to do is inform tenants of their rights and responsibilities.

We have been sending out the Tenants Survival Guide.”

If the city becomes aware of a change in ownership in a

rental building in New West, he said it sends a copy of the guide to tenants to make them aware of the requirements under the Residential Tenancy Act. Stark said tenants who have lived in rental buildings for 10 or 15 years may be paying rents of $700 to $800, which is quite a bit below today’s market rents, and often can’t afford today’s market rents. He said seniors have been “disproportionately impacted by renovictions.”

City Project is the first step ects for over two years.To get to this stage in the development process is critically important,” Cote said. “I think, although a very small affordable housing project, it’s an extra tool that cities do have available to them to help with housing in our community.”

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said the projects show that cities can not only talk about affordable housing, but initiate projects, like the

New Westminster has done through its task force on affordable housing.

He said provincial and federal governments need to step up to the plate and support cities on issues related to affordable housing.

“I think the city is being very proactive, with the task force on affordable housing.

It’s been a really strong initiative,” he said. “This project is the first step.”

Million-dollar renovation includes pipes, electrical work Continued from page 3 subsidize rents that were established five or 10 years ago. He said buildings purchased by his company often have asbestos, rats and bedbug issues that need to be addressed.

“We are not in the business of evicting people; we don’t do that,” he told the Record. “We end up buying these buildings that are really expensive at market rents.The rents aren’t market rents, so what happens is we end up putting money in every month. If we don’t get the money after the renovation, we are going to end up going bankrupt because we can’t subsidize the mortgage and the property taxes.”

According toYoung, the renovation budget for Maple Manor is $1 million.

“We are getting rid of the asbestos problem. Before we start anything, we have to get an asbestos report,” he said. “All the piping in the whole building is getting redone. New electrical, new floors, new cabinets, new countertops, new washrooms.The whole nine

yards.”

Prior to the renovation, Young said one-bedroom units rented for $800 to $1,100, and when the renovation is complete they’ll rent for $1,300.

“I make sure that everyone is happy. I have got a heart. I care about people.

The company I work for goes over and beyond.They give me an endless budget just to make sure that person is not in any way, shape or form in a stressful situation. If there is anything we can do as a company to make their life easier, even if that means giving them more time, sometimes I have given people as much as six months, they have just been great.”

A longtime New West resident,Yake is pleased to see the positive changes taking place in the city and building owners making improvements to aging rental stock. But, instead of mass evictions, she’d like to see renovations done as tenants move out of buildings so current residents aren’t displaced.

“For a really long time, New West didn’t have a good reputation; people didn’t want to live here. It was kind of a ghost town downtown. So I like seeing this change, but the thing is this change isn’t for the people,” she said. “This change is for these dudes who have lots of money coming in and they are making money off of it.”

ASK THE EXPERT Q:

I realize I may be an emotional eater.

What should I do?

Urgent need: Replacement of the Pattullo Bridge remains a priority of the Mayors’ Council on regional transportation. In light of the recent elimination of tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, the mayors will be discussing Pattullo funding with the province. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Mayors keep pushing for replacement of Pattullo New bridge is ‘most urgent’ transportation need in the region right now, says NewWestminster’s mayor Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Replacement of the Pattullo Bridge continues to be a top priority for the Mayors’ Council on regional transportation, says Mayor Jonathan Cote.

At its Sept. 21 meeting with TransLink, the Mayors’ Council reinforced the need for the Pattullo to be replaced as soon as possible.

“It’s definitely the most urgent transportation project out there right now,” Cote said. “We are really hoping to be able to get a final agreement to be able to move that project forward by the end of this year because we are concerned if we are not able to get to that

A. I refer to this type of “Hunger” as Heart Hunger. Food brings us pleasure, it is used in times of celebration and is often viewed as a reward. When emotions and stress run high, it is common to turn to Dr. Allana Polo, Naturopathic Physician food to soothe the physical and mental symptoms of stress. The connection is then made, I feel better when I eat. This may not be imagined! Sugar produces a high in the body similar to that of drugs. When we eat sugary foods, our brain releases our happy hormone, serotonin. You actually experience a high with certain foods, and you can easily see why there is such a strong connection between emotions and food. Unlike other addictions, you cannot simply abstain.

You must learn how to break the connection between “feel good” and food. The best way to do this is to dig into the hard stuff: work with a counsellor to determine the cause for your emotional eating.

Replace food with other healthy habits that offer a similar feeling of release and validation like seeing friends, exercising, reading a book or taking a bubble bath.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Time to get serious about protecting renters The words “housing crisis” have been spoken so often that, to many of us, they’ve been rendered nearly meaningless.

But every time we do a story like the one on page 3 of today’s paper, we’re reminded how very real that crisis is – and how many people it affects in immediate and often heartbreaking ways.

Toni-LeahYake is just one such person. She’s a resi-

dent at Maple Manor, a 15unit apartment complex in Queen’s Park whose residents have been ordered out so that the owners of the building can renovate.

Toni-Leah is now disputing her eviction notice.

Whatever the outcome of her case, it’s clear that broader changes are needed to help protect vulnerable residents from being tossed out of their homes – places they’ve often lived for de-

cades – in favour of more well-heeled folks who can afford to pay higher rents.

Though “demovictions” (where residents are evicted so that older buildings can be demolished in favour of newer, shinier residences) are less common in New Westminster, the “renoviction” tale is an all-too-common one.

Fortunately, the City of New Westminster is being proactive about the prob-

lem. Rather than sitting back and wringing their hands about the need for action by senior levels of government (as a certain neighbouring municipality is wont to do), the city is already taking steps to address the problem – including providing information and guidance for tenants and using stop-work orders and tickets to halt renovation work when necessary approvals aren’t in place.

But larger change can only come on a provincewide level.

We’re pleased that New Westminster has garnered support from the Union of B.C. Municipalities for a resolution that urges the provincial government to undertake a broad review of the Residential Tenancy Act. And we’re heartened to hear from Selina Robinson, B.C.’s new minister of municipal affairs and housing,

that the province is already working on changes that will help to protect tenants.

With vacancy rates at a measly 0.4 per cent in New Westminster and market rents continuing to soar, it’s clear that there won’t be any relief any time soon unless the powers that be are serious about change.

For the sake of Toni-Leah and other renters like her, we hope that change comes sooner rather than later.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan’s glaring broken promise The fledgling NDP government has made mostly good moves since taking power in the summer, with one notable exception.

It has followed through on a number of key campaign promises, including increasing social assistance rates, eliminating bridge tolls and making tuition free for former children in government care.

The NDP government has also greatly expanded resources to fight the opioid crisis and is starting to flesh out its commitment to deal with housing and the homeless (like $66 million to build 600 module housing units in Vancouver alone).

But framed against those laudable accomplishments stands one glaring broken promise, and it will be interesting to see how much damage this one causes the NDP. At the very least, it has potentially provided the B.C. Liberals, who have been groping around trying to find an issue to hit the government with, a nice big battering ram.

I’m referring to the decision to use tax dollars to fund political parties.This move is in direct contradiction to what Premier John Horgan specifically – on the record, on numerous occasions – promised both before the election campaign and during it as well.

Not only did Horgan deny the NDP would do such a thing, but he accused the B.C. Liberals and former premier Christy Clark – who kept claiming the NDP would do exactly this – of planting lies about the whole thing. It wasn’t just a denial from the man who

would become premier, it was a ferocious push back against the very idea of using tax dollars to fund political parties. But there it is, all laid out in section 20 of the new Election Amendment Act.This part of the bill sets down a formula outlining taxpayer payments to the NDP, the B.C. Liberals and the B.C. Greens over the next five years.

The formula starts off with each party receiving (in two instalments, on Jan. 1 and July 1), a government cheque that amounts to $2.50 for every vote received in last May’s election.

For the NDP and the B.C. Liberals – who were virtually tied in votes – this translates to about a tax subsidy of about $2 million each next year, while the B.C. Greens will collect about $830,000.

The per-vote-subsidy number drops a bit each year – going down 25 cents a year until 2021, when it will be $1.75 – but it means over the next five years the NDP and the B.C. Liberals will both receive about $8.1 million and the B.C. Greens will get somewhere around $3 million.

The issue here is not whether the public funding of political parties is a valid idea (many jurisdictions provide various amounts of such funding to parties). It may strike some as a good idea, but I suspect a majority of voters don’t like it (which may explain why Horgan was so sensitive on the issue during the preelection period).

No, the issue here is being Continued on page 9

New year arrives with a bang The NewYear came in with a smash and a bang for a young couple and their eight-month-old daughter. At about 2:30 a.m. on NewYear’s Day, they woke up to a crash and found a pickup truck lodged in their living room.The living room was destroyed and the house at 718 Gloucester St. was knocked off its foundation. Instead of staying to face the music, the driver, who had lost control of the stolen vehicle while trying to evade police, fled through a back window. Adding insult to injury, he laughed and yelled, “Happy NewYear!” as he escaped.

“That’s what annoyed me the most,” said the woman.

Opinion Seniors deserve better Dear Editor: Much has been written lately on the plight of many seniors, including those living in government-supported facilities. There is a huge plate to be filled, and it has never been, nor ever will be, filled by charity and philanthropy.

If charity and philanthropy were the answer, we would not be where we are today.

Our problems with age and poverty in general would not exist if our governments lived by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, overwhelmingly adopted in December of 1948, or by the United Nations Resolution of December 1991, laying out the Principles for Older Persons. Principle No. 17 states: “Older persons should be able to live in dignity and security and be free of exploitation and physical or mental abuse.”

Yet, a quarter to half a century later, we as a country have still not begun to live up to those high moral principles. There are 800,000 people in B.C. living in poverty. Over 170,000 are children and 100,000 are seniors, yet our provincial government to date is the only provincial government in Canada that lacks a poverty reduction program.

Bill Zander, New Westminster

Same old sad school song Dear Editor: Regarding the ongoing saga of old and worn-out schools in New Westminster.

Seems nothing is happening, as usual; same old,

same old. If in doubt, just postpone for another year and stand in front of a mirror and state how excited you are for doing a good job. Note to the ministry: May our next superintendent have a degree in civil engineering and time management skills.

New Westminster has many very gifted teachers; we are so lucky here. Ex-teachers don’t build new buildings, engineers do. Let’s not let New Westminster be the country club of getting ready for retirement. Let’s get these schools built on time or early. Thank you.

Juanita Ivings is seeking a little sympathy from city hall for Sapperton residents who are surrounded by construction.

The Fader Street resident told the Record it’s been challenging for lower Sapperton residents to find parking because of construction projects at Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District and at Braid and Brunette, as well as sewer separation work being done in the neighbourhood.

“It’s absolutely crazy.

We have so much going on in the neighbourhood. It’s like total chaos,” she said.

“There is piles of dirt in places, there is piles of rocks in places.There is every vehicle you could think of to rip up the street. It is just mad chaos.”

While crews tear up streets for the sewer separation project, she said many homeowners are unable to park anywhere near their homes.

“People are upset because there is nowhere to park because they are ripping up our roads. I am told I am not allowed to park on my street from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day.Then I can’t park on my side street because there is no parking there either, so I need to go onto other people’s streets and try and get in there and do some parking,” she said.

strength No where to go: With nowhere else to park in her neighbourhood because of construction overload, Sapperton residents Juanita Ivings recently parked on the boulevard beside her house and came home to find a parking ticket from the city. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

“We have one guy who flies out of his house and punches people in the head.”

With no place to park, Ivings recently parked her vehicle on the boulevard next to her house, headed to work on SkyTrain and came home to find a parking ticket on the windshield.

“Homeowners are struggling just to find parking because of this project. I am just asking for some leniency,” said Ivings, who pays for an annual parking permit to park in front of her home. “I don’t know if I go one block up or one block down if I’d get ticketed for being on the wrong road.”

Nancy Millar, acting coordinator of parking and animal services, said some residents may request leniency, while others want more enforcement, particularly if

construction vehicles are parking in the neighbourhood without permits.

“You can’t pick and choose on a street who you are going to enforce and who you are not going to

You have to enforce fairly and evenly enforce.You have to enforce fairly and evenly,” she said.

“If you are going to do the 400 block of Fader Street, you can’t say, ‘I am not going to ticket that vehicle because I’m pretty sure he lives there’ and ‘This vehicle I’m not sure about, so I’m going to give him a ticket.’”

Millar said parking patrol

FRESH CHOICES

officers have offered some leniency when parking permit holders in one area are parked a bit further away than their permit allows.

“An officer that sees a vehicle parked on a boulevard, they can’t not do something about that if they are there enforcing the street.That would be something they would probably write a ticket for,” she said. “We might look at their dispute – but that’s a different situation.”

Millar said the parking division generally gets its direction from the engineering department, which may ask that officers relax enforcement if major projects are taking place.

Ivings believes the city needs to do a better job of coordinating construction activities in neighbourhoods.

Julian, who sought to be the NDP leader but bowed out of the race after failing to raise enough money, endorsed Singh as leader, after seeing the “incredible excitement” he was generating across the country, including the Lower Mainland.

New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy also endorsed Singh.

The new leader of the federal NDP has a personal understanding of some of the challenges faced in the Royal City, says New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian.

Jagmeet Singh, a 38-yearold provincial NDP politician from Ontario, was elected as the federal NDP’s new leader on Sunday.

Resident appeals for parking leniency Continued from page 10 With the streets already being ripped up for the sewer work, Ivings said she was

shocked to get a notice on a Friday stating that city crews were coming in to work on the boulevard trees the fol-

lowing week and residents couldn’t park on the road.

“I’d like the city to communicate better, to plan bet-

I want to hear everything!

As told by Gerry Cotter Former Air Traffic Controller “We don’t realize that we’re losing our hearing, it’s so subtle. The sound of the powder snow on your skis is there constantly. It’s surprising, when you ski without sound you don’t have the same control, you don’t hear the sounds associated with where your skis are. I simply can’t ski as well, without my hearing aids.

As an Air Traffic Controller, my career was dependent on maintaining perfect hearing. The blast of high frequency sounds through my headsets deteriorated my hearing over time. After all, like the brakes on your car, your sense of hearing isn’t necessarily missed until you need it.

Communication is the most important thing in life. You communicate every day. But I can’t do that if I can’t hear. No one can. When you withdraw, you’re left out in the quiet. Losing our ability to communicate would be a tragedy.

When I canoe I want to be able to hear the ripple of the water on my canoe. When I ski, I want to hear the shoosh of the snow on my skis. When I’m in a crowd, I want to be part of it. I haven’t got any time to waste, I want to hear everything.

I couldn’t do it without NexGen Hearing!”

Comics make ’em laugh for a good cause Syd Bosel and Ray Morrison rather liked the idea of making people laugh and giving back to the community at the same time.

The two Lower Mainland comedians are teaming up for a fundraising show, Life is Funny (Still), Oct. 7 at the Columbia Theatre.

“We came up with this idea three years ago after taking a comedy class together,” Morrison said in a press release. “We wanted more opportunities to perform, but also give back to our community.We love to feature people with comedy experience, and also new talent.”

The show – their third such event – is a fundraiser for South Vancouver Family Place, a non-profit organization that supports families with young children.

Bosel, who is set to MC the show after finishing second in the B.C.’s Funniest Female competition, also happens to work for Fam-

ily Place.

“Our organization is a non-profit, and we are always looking for unique opportunities to raise both funds and our profile,” she said. “There are a lot of fundraisers out there, but this is one of the few with comedy on the menu. People who work in the field of social services work hard, and this event gives them a chance to come out and enjoy some laughs with their colleagues and friends.”

Morrison will take to the stage for the show, which also includes headliner Katie-Ellen Humphries of CBC’s The Debaters and Just for Laughs Northwest, plus the owner of Laughter Zone 101, New West’s own Janice Bannister. It also features B.C.’s third-funniest female, Danika Thibault, plus Yisrael Shurack – billed as “Vancouver’s funniest rabbi” and Lawrie Ferguson, who comes to the stage as a “mildly amusing banker.”

LAUGH IT UP:

Their comedy will cover everything from parenthood to aging to modern dating and more.

Kimberley Berger, South

Vancouver Family Place executive director, said the show is an important fundraiser for her organization.

“I am so grateful to these

wonderful comedians who come together for us and donate their proceeds to (Family Place) and the families we serve,” she said.

Tickets, on sale now through www.eventbrite.ca, are $12. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. for an 8:30 p.m. show.

“From woodcuts featuring boats and trains, to works that honour some of Vancouver’s sadly disappearing neon signs, to pieces that slyly bring our city’s forgotten corners and secrets to life, this is art with a strong sense of place,” a press release says.

The opening reception runs from 5 to 8 p.m.The show will be up at Plaskett Gallery until Oct. 31. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday,

NewWestminster’s Patrick Street Productions brings Sondheim classic to Gateway Theatre Patrick Street Productions’ staging of A Little Night Music got a warm reception from critics and audience members alike when it ran at the Anvil Centre Theatre in May. Now it’s making a return to the stage – this time at the Gateway Theatre in Richmond.

The production, directed by New Westminster’s Peter Jorgensen, is onstage Oct. 12 through 21, with a Thursday night preview on Oct. 12 and opening night on Friday, Oct. 13.

A Little Night Music is the Stephen Sondheim classic that debuted on Broadway in 1973, based on Ingmar Bergman’s Smiles of a Summer Night. Set in Sweden at the turn of the last century, A Little Night Music follows a cast of characters during a weekend at a lavish country estate, tracing their intertwined loves, passions and jealousies.

At the heart of the story are a pair of former lovers, Fredrik Egerman (played by Warren Kimmel) and Desiree Armfeldt (played by New Westminster’s Katey Wright) – the latter of whom brings to the stage Sondheim’s most famous song, Send in the Clowns.

The Patrick Street Productions cast also includes 13-year-old Elizabeth Irving of New Westminster as Desiree’s daughter, Fredrika.

They’re joined by Patti Allan, Lyndsey Britten, Lindsay Warnock, Rose McNeil, Jacob Woike, Micheal

Arts & Entertainment Mom’s the Word 3 at Anvil Centre Their kids are grown, their marriages have evolved, and their bodies are backfiring.

Yes, the Mom’s theWord team is back with a new chapter in their stories of family life and motherhood.

Mom’s theWord 3: Nest ½ Empty is onstage at the Anvil Centre Theatre this weekend as part of the Arts Club on Tour series. It’s onstage Sunday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 p.m.

Mom’s theWord was first conceived in 1993 by a group ofVancouver actors who had become “exhausted, bedraggled amateur mothers,” and it premiered at the Arts Club in 1995.

In 2005, Mom’s theWord 2: Unhinged chronicled the good, the bad and the ugly of raising teenagers and the

moms’ own aging.

Then, in 2009, both shows were combined to produce Mom’s theWord: Remixed.

Now, the latest instalment deals with the trials and tribulations of adult children.

The show promises to once again delve deeply into the lives of the mom performers, bringing to life their insights and secrets about aging as mothers in a way that’s described as “both hysterical and deeply touching.”

“This group of women changed the theatrical landscape, not just in Canada, but on several continents,” said directorWayne Harrison in a press release. “Last year alone, productions toured in Scotland, Germa-

WHAT’S HAPPENING? New Westminster’s chapter of Canadian Parents for French (CPF) is hosting an event for parents with kids in French immersion.

The organizers have invited several guest speakers to present during the session, including Alicia Dobbs, librarian with the New Westminster Public Library; Keri Roberts, the French learning facilitator for the New Westminster school district and a former Grader 8 French immersion teacher at École Glenbrook

Middle School; and Belinda Scott, who is a former French teacher at New Westminster Secondary School and is currently the district’s vice-principal for learning services.

Parent survival night is aimed at teaching parents how to help their kids succeed in French.

CPF says they’ve asked a few other teachers to take part as well, but they haven’t been confirmed yet.

CPF members, but if you’re not a member, it’s $5. If you decide at the event to become a CPF member, the $5 fee will be put towards the cost of your membership.

ANYTHING ELSE? Yes! Free childminding is available (you need to RSVP to secure a spot) and there will also be refreshments.

Plus, there will be French resources for sale – and some for free – available.

Show support for Mexican earthquake victims Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Mexican food will be on the menu at an upcoming fundraiser at St. Barnabas Anglican Church.

Reverend Emilie Smith notes that Mexico was devastated by an earthquake on Sept. 19, but many people were affected by a strong tremor on Sept. 7.

In response to those recent earthquakes, St. Barnabas is having a fundraiser featuring Mexican food, entertainment and other activities.

The event, which is all by donation, takes place throughout from 2 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7.

“There will be food for sale, as well as entertainment and other activities.

Please plan to come,” she said in an email. “If you are unable to come, please consider making a donation to support community recovery in Mexico.”

St. Barnabas Church is at 1010 Fifth Ave. For more information, call 604-5266646.

MAYOR HITS THE LINKS Mayor Jonathan Cote recently hit the links to raise funds for Royal Columbian Hospital.

The City of New Westminster and the Terminal City Club partnered with Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation to raise more than $38,000 for the hospital during the Mayor Cote Charity Golf Classic.

The fundraiser was held

at the Point Grey Golf and Country Club on Sept. 25.

“It was a really enjoyable event that raised over $38,000 for the RCH Foundation,” Cote said.

The Royal Columbian Health Care Foundation isn’t the only charity Cote is helping out these days.

As part of his bet with Peterborough Mayor Daryl Bennett about the winner of the 2017 Mann Cup, Cote will be making a donation to charity and wearing a Peterborough Lakers jersey around town.

“I made a $50 donation to JDRF Canada.The jersey has arrived, so I will pick a day next week to wear it at a few occasions,” he said.

“We had also arranged to wager some local beer, but it turns out you are not able to ship alcohol through the mail, so I will have to enjoy the Steel & Oak that would have been headed to Peterborough.”

ASK A DENTURIST Why are my dentures loose?

Dentures rely on the support of bone and tissues for stability.

When you lose your natural teeth, bone does not have the support that it needs to maintain its structure, therefore it begins to shrink.

If you have been wearing the same PATRICK MARCELO R.D. dentures for a long period of time, your bone and soft tissues will have changed from when you first received those dentures. This change will cause the dentures to become loose and may cause discomfort. It is important to have your dentures and your mouth assessed to see if you need either a reline, rebase or even a new denture. Dentures on average can last up to 5 years before they need to be replaced and up to about 2 years before the dentures need to be assessed for a reline.

Q A

What is a Licensed Insolvency Trustee and how do they help with debt?

In 2017 the title of Insolvency or Bankruptcy Trustees changed to “Licensed Insolvency Trustees” – LIT for short.

LITs are the only people able to help Canadians clear their debt using legal options like Consumer Proposals and bankruptcy. LITs have to meet government qualifications, complete specialized education and gain practical experience.

BLAIR MANTIN Licensed Insolvency Trustee

The new title highlights that LITs can offer other solutions, because many people want to avoid bankruptcy. For example, Consumer Proposals are still not a well-known option, even though more people have been choosing them the past few years. Debts could be cut by up to 80% using a Consumer Proposal!

How can Acupuncture be effective for so many various conditions like joint and muscle pain in the neck, shoulders and back as well as sciatica, migraines, digestive disorders and women’s health issues?

A

Acupuncture’s varied success rates are due to the ability of an acupuncturist to assess the imbalances in the body. When the body is imbalanced, ill health or pain will result. With a very detailed intake of symptoms, Doreen is able to determine what body symptoms need addressing. Things like “Liver Blood Deficiency” and “Rebellious Qi” might not mean anything to you, but to Doreen, it is like music to her ears. Knowing this information, leads the way to unique treatments specifically targeting and addressing your imbalances. Call Doreen to book a Free Consultation.

Ask yourself: what do I train for? If you’re unsure, try signing up for something. For example, a 10k run, Tough Mudder or a team sport. This will completely change your focus in the gym.

Why do I have bad breath?

There are many possible causes of bad breath (or halitosis). The most common cause of halitosis is poor oral hygiene. When DR. LOVELY bacteria build up on your teeth, tongue, and/or gums, they can produce very unpleasant-smelling sulfur gases. Regular brushing and flossing will remove retained food particles from in between your teeth, before bacteria in your mouth can start to break it down to cause bad breath. Other common causes of bad breath include smoking, tooth decay, gum disease, and dry mouth.

To get rid of bad breath, you must eliminate the source. Mints or gum will only mask the smell, not treat the problem. Don’t hesitate to contact your dental care professional to determine and eliminate the cause of your halitosis.

Why set up a company?

To carry on business, you might set up a company.

Legally, your company exists separately from you.

In its own name, your company may make contracts, buy assets, sue, and be sued.

To set up a BC company, you must make an incorporation agreement and apply to the provincial government. To maintain your company, you must file an annual report with the provincial government within two months of your company’s anniversary date. Compared to a sole proprietorship or partnership, a company costs more to set up and maintain. However, a company offers advantages I will discuss in future months.

This column is legal information, not legal advice. If you or someone you know would like to set up a company, please contact me.

What are walking poles, and why use them?

Walking Poles (often referred to as Nordic or Urban Walking Poles) are modified ski poles used for walking on land. They were first developed in Finland (1979), but have since become popular here in Canada.

JIM GOVETT As a Physiotherapist, I find myself recommending them to my clients for a variety of benefits such as: reduced impact to leg muscles and joints, improved posture of the lower and mid back, increased rotation of the trunk, and greater activation of shoulder muscles. Walking poles are also helpful in preventing falls, while not having the stigma of a walking aid such as a cane or walker. As a result, many people affected by health issues such as arthritis, diabetes, Parkinson’s, and cardio-respiratory disease make use of walking poles, resulting in improved walking tolerance and gait quality.

FUNDRAISER

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The New Westminster Homelessness Coalition Society is holding its 10th annual fundraising dinner on Thursday, Oct. 12 at the Columbia Theatre, 530 Columbia St. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and dinner gets underway between 6 and 6:30 p.m.

… it’s just about getting community members thinking about the issue of homelessness

Stephen O’Shea, executive director of the New Westminster Arts Council, will host the fundraiser that’s based on the theme, Living Together: A Sense of Community. Mayor Jonathan Cote, Professor Joseph Moore (of the faculty of humanities and social sciences at Douglas College) and Myke Germyn of I’s On the Street are the evening’s guest

speakers. The event also includes a silent auction, 50-50 draw and music

by Blue Express and the St. Barnabas community choir.

WHAT IS I’S ON THE STREET? I’s on the Street is the society’s outreach/support services program that places homeless or at-risk-of-beinghomeless persons into supervised employment cleaning and tidying the sidewalks/streets in front of local businesses.

WHAT IS THE FUNDRAISER FOR? The fundraiser is one of the events being held in New Westminster as part of Homelessness Action Week.

At Connect Day on Tuesday, Oct. 10, people will enjoy a free breakfast and have a chance to get information about help and resources that are available to them in the community. It takes place at Holy Trinity Cathedral.

Martha Kerr, the society’s coordinator, is also trying to organize an art show in a space in Royal City Centre mall.

“I am having trouble finding volunteers to

staff the event, so I’m tentatively trying to get that organized for next week. That will run for two weeks. It’s basically local artists contributing their work,” she told the Record Sept. 25. “Really it’s just about getting community members thinking about the issue of homelessness and bringing their art in. They can’t sell their art at the event, but they can provide contact information to people who are interested. If they are really gung ho, they can offer to contribute the art as a donation to our silent auction.”

Two sisters are hoping to share their passion for knitting with NewWest Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Two sisters have stitched together a special bond through a love of knitting and want to share their passion with others.

Sarah Caton and Susan Waller opened CosyYarns knitting studio in River Market last summer.

Caton owns the business and works behind the scenes, while Waller teaches a range of classes at the studio.

“My sister and I have always wanted to open up a knitting store.When I was younger, I was taught by my mother and my grandmother and then I taught her,” said Waller, who is nine years older than Caton.

“I was able to teach her when she was little.We have always had that bond between us.When we get together we knit, have tea and sit and talk.We go to yarn stores together, we go on

Along with its core knitting classes for all ages and skills, the shop offers private lessons and speciality classes where folks can make items including a Salish hat,West Coast Cowichan sweater, socks, cowl, toques, fingerless gloves or a pullover sweater.

In response to requests from customers, CosyYarns is offering crochet lessons starting this fall.

In addition to being a great time to think about making handmade knitted Christmas gifts for loved ones, Caton said fall is a perfect time to jump aboard CosyYarns’ knitting train and attend the Knit Knatter and Share night on the first and third Thursday of the month.

OUR PAST

A creative spin on the typical advertisement Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Advertisements in early newspapers can supply excellent information about a place and its residents’ everyday life. A particular ad for a new grocery and provisions store opened by William Clarkson in 1867 is somewhat unusual – it rhymes.

The store was on Columbia Street next to the Colonial Hotel.

“Our coffee, tea and chocolate, for flavour unsurpassed; with prices low to suit the times, a trial’s only asked.To those who use the ‘weed,’ we are ready, willing, able, to furnish them with any length of the ‘Atlantic Cable.’We’ve ‘Shelton’s Brand’ and other kinds so much admired for chewing; Cigars, Cheroots, and Fancy Pipes, for gents who go awooing.

“Of pie fruits and pickles too, we have every kind on

hand, with sauces also pure and good, in every different brand. In ketchups and in essences, our shelves are quite replete; these have become essential for flavouring what we eat. Split peas and pearl barley, most excellent for soup; and sago for the little folks, an antidote for croup.

“Wash tubs and wash boards too we have, no better made we think, nor cheaper can be had elsewhere, in either wood or zinc. Of buckets we have quite a lot, as well as fine corn brooms, and brushes plenty, no excuse for keeping dusty rooms.

“Our candles they are very good, our coal oil choice refined, no one here will sell them cheaper; just bear this fact in mind. Our soap is also good and cheap; and old, we don’t like new, and Glenfield Starch so highly famed, and the best of button blue.

“Biscuits of various kinds

we have, and crackers crisp and sweet: bacon and hams, so nicely cured, they really are a treat. Our sugars we are safe to say, must meet a large demand, because they’re bright and sweet and pure, not mixed with gritty sand.We have oatmeal too for porridge, or if you prefer it, brose, this is the food both strong and good as every Saxon knows.

“Spices from the isles of the Indian Seas; cloves, cassia, pimento and such things as these; melons that will melt of themselves in the mouth; peaches and grapes from the far sunny south; currants from Zante, raisins from Spain, will tempt you to buy them again and again.

“Plums and apples from Richmond, pears from the sound; onions from Frisco so big and so round that few, if any, weigh less than a pound.”

Hodgson retires from Stealth Going to the vice-principal’s office isn’t usually a good thing, except if you’re the viceprincipal, and in the case of Curtis Hodgson it’s the Vancouver Stealth that is getting punished.Whether the New Westminster Salmonbellies do too, Hodgson has yet to determine.

The National Lacrosse League team announced the retirement of captain Curtis Hodgson on Monday because he has become a vice-principal at Burnaby South Secondary. Hodgson has been a member of the Stealth since December 2004.

It is the only NLL team he’s played with.

“Although I am no longer able to commit to playing, I feel privileged to be able to remain with the organization,” said Hodgson in a Stealth press release. “I look forward to this new chapter and challenge in my career.”

Hodgson played in 211 games over 13 seasons for the Stealth, winning a league title in 2010 and appearing in the final three times.The defensive stalwart scored 35 goals and had 70 assists in his NLL career.

“Curtis has embodied everything that is good about our sport over his entire career,” said Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker in the release. “He has been an exceptional player on the floor and an unbelievable leader to a generation of players off the floor. He has always been a great ambassador of the game.

“As an organization we are very grateful to him for his years of loyalty, sacrifice, leadership and commitment. He is a very special person, and we are happy he will continue with the team in other capacities now that his playing career has concluded.”

He will remain with the Stealth in the front office in a player development role.The team expects to honour Hodgson at a home game in the upcoming season.

In an email reply to the Record, Hodgson said he hasn’t had time to determine whether or not he’ll return to the lineup of the 2017 Western Lacrosse Association champion Salmonbellies next summer.

Hyacks tame Fighting Irish Coach believes offence still searching for identity, team needs to be more disciplined Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

It’s two down, one to go on the New Westminster Hyacks varsity team’s tour of B.C. high school western conference football fields.

The Hyacks, ranked second in the province, will take on the fifthranked Seaquam Seahawks at the North Delta School’s field Saturday (1:30 p.m.).

The showdown comes on the heels of the Hyacks defeating the previously fifth-ranked Vancouver College Fighting Irish 20-14 at O’Hagan Field last Saturday.The previous Saturday, the Hyacks went to Victoria and beat the Mt. Douglas Rams 29-6.

O’Hagan is a place that hasn’t been particularly kind to the Hyacks in the past, so they were glad to come away with the win. But head coach Farhan Lalji was not impressed.

“It was certainly not an effort we were at all satisfied with, but it was certainly nice to come out of there with a win,” said Lalji.

“We’ve gotten past that stuff of playing them and lack of success.

This group of seniors has beaten V.C. four straight times from Grade 9 through to Grade 12, so they’re pretty comfortable doing that. So I don’t think that was a big deal for us. It was certainly not something we celebrated on any big level.”

Hyacks quarterback Kinsale Philip completed four passes in the game.Three went for touchdowns, all in the first half. He

hooked up with Finn Stark on a 75-yard pass-and-run TD to open the scoring. After the Irish went up 14-6, the QB connected with Matthew Lalim for a 22-yard TD toss and a 10 yarder to Sammy Sidhu.The second half was scoreless as New West mustered just 218 yards on offence.

“Defensively they play us very well, and always have whether their players are good or not,” said Lalji.

“They do some really good things, and then sometimes I think we outthink ourselves a little bit and don’t just do the simple stuff we know is going to work.We sometimes get into that where we make too many adjustments.

“We’re trying to find our identity as an offence. I don’t think we’re there yet.”

Lalji said Philip took a big step forward with his poise, command of the game plan and ability to take advantage of what was available to him when he made those big passing plays. It’s the running game Lalji would like to get going, despite the fact New West is 2-0 in conference play and 4-1 overall.

“We haven’t run the ball well.

It’s kind of been a weird season that way where we haven’t gotten into a flow. It’s not that we don’t have all the pieces to run well.

We’ve got probably the best backfield we’ve ever had top to bottom, and we’ve certainly got very

good linemen that can do the job.

There’s no reason why we can’t be extremely explosive running the ball,” said Lalji.

“Part of it has been trying to develop that pass game trying to take advantage of other kids, and some of that has come at the expense of really establishing our run game.

So I hope as we go here we’re able to both.”

The New West defence? Well, that’s a different story. It held the Irish to just 201 yards of offence.

“They’ve been very good. Our Dline was just lights out.

Our run defence all the way across the board was just very, very good. Our secondary continues to get turnovers.

They had three completions and we had three interceptions.That’s the second straight game we’ve had three (interceptions).We’ve had three interceptions in three of our last four games. Defensively, we’re doing some pretty good things,” said Lalji.

Before the season began Port Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens were ranked No. 1 with New West second.They’ve both held their positions throughout the fall. But Lalji doesn’t believe his troops have carried their lofty ranking well.

“When I say that, I don’t think it’s got anything to do with No. 2.

I think there’s a lot of expectation on this team, and they’ve got to learn to deal with that a little bit.

Collectively, we’re trying to build team chemistry.We’ve got a really talented group of individuals who genuinely like each other, but we need to come together as a team a little bit better. I don’t know if that has anything to do with the ranking, it’s just the general expectations.”

He added, it’s a team “that knows how good it is, and they’re learning to deal with that.”

Seaquam’s offence boasts two sons of former B.C. Lions running back Cory Philpot – Jalen and Tyson.The Seahawks are coming off a 55-14 thrashing of the Carson Graham Eagles. It’s a team the Hyacks have never faced before at the varsity level, but this groups of seniors played each other in the AAA junior varsity semifinal two years ago.

“They’re as good as any team in our conference, for sure.We’ve got a very, very good conference. It’s just one tough game after another.

It’s part of a stretch of three games away from home.We’ve gotten wins in the first two, and hopefully we sweep those three road games.” !The junior varsity team remained unbeaten by downing Carson Graham 47-6 at Mercer Stadium last Thursday.

Greyson Planinsic scored three touchdowns while Dominic Racher, Kirk Bothwell and Andros Dancey got the others. Bothwell’s came on a pass from Dancey.

The JV Hyacks, who have three wins and a tie this season, are in Mission today to play the Roadrunners.

Sport STM coach dies of cancer A beloved coach who guided the St.Thomas More Knights football team since 2000 passed away late Saturday evening. Bernie Kully was 41 when he succumbed to the esophageal cancer that was diagnosed in December.

Kully took a leave from coaching as well as his duties as a teacher and counsellor at the Burnaby Catholic high school to battle the disease, but he was never far from the sidelines.

After watching STM defeat the Centennial Centaurs 57-0 last Friday on his computer at home, he sent a congratulatory text to the Knights’ interim coach, Steve De Lazzari.

New Westminster Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji said he and Kully, who graduated from STM in 1994, developed “a pretty good friendship” during the last couple of years. Even though the schools are two blocks apart, they connected at the 2015 Grey Cup in Winnipeg when Kully was visiting his former Simon Fraser University teammate Doug Brown, a former Win-

COLE (nee Lenglet), Georgie Rosealma

November 04, 1929 - September 20, 2017 On September 20 Georgie passed away peacefully

in her home of 62 years with her loving family at her side. She was predeceased by her husband of 56 years, William Edward Cole. She will be missed by her children: Dave (Susan), Nancy (Dewey), and Janice (Tim). Georgie also leaves behind grandchildren with whom she spent countless hours: Andrew, Alex, Samantha (Joshua), Chelsea, Shane, and Ayla.

Georgie was a true lover of life and an inspiration to many. She extracted as much joy as she could from every moment and was grateful for each day.

She valued family, friends, and community and was always looking for ways to make the world a better place. Georgie’s thoughtful acts of kindness, and hours spent volunteering, embodied her belief that one person really can make a difference!

Georgie was dedicated to life-long learning, laughter, and fun. She pursued many interests and passions such as: gardening, sewing and crafts, camping, reading, dancing, and the theatre, to name a few.

She enjoyed the fellowship of church and was a long standing member of the United Church for most of her adult life.

Her life was filled with love, purpose and meaning, and she will be greatly missed by all that knew her.

We love you Mom! A memorial service will be held at Deer Lake United Church on Saturday, November 4, her 88th birthday.

The location is 5135 Sperling Avenue, Burnaby from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. A Celebration of Life will follow directly after at Second Street Community School, a place where she spent countless happy hours.

The address is 7502 Second Street in Burnaby, entrance off 17th Avenue.

In remembrance of Georgie, please consider performing your own acts of kindness, or by giving to a charity of your choice, as she always believed it was not hard to influence the life of others for the better.
