Taking it to the top Student who is upset over cuts to spare blocks starts petition and appeals to school board By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

More than 1,300 people have signed an online petition urging New Westminster Secondary School administration to reconsider its decision to make it mandatory for Grade 12 students to take a full course load next year. Last week, Grade 11 students received their 2018/19 course selection forms.To their surprise, the forms indicated that students going into Grade 12 next year would be required to take a full eight courses in order to graduate, including English 12, Graduation Transitions Planning, three Grade 12-level courses and three electives. “The principal never told us about it. Our parents were never emailed; no notice was given about this,” Kinsale Philip told the Record. Philip is the quarterback for the Hyacks football team, and next year, he’d planned on taking the required math course and English 12 in the first semester, leaving him lots of time to focus on football. His goal was to have everything wrapped up by the end of first semester, making him

available for early admission to Canadian universities. “I’ll definitely have to stay until June unless I was able to dedicate a lot of time to just doing online courses, and that’s just a whole lot of work for first semester when we have football season, when we have practice

every single day after school and pressure to perform on Fridays,” he said. “It will definitely affect me in a large way.” The change also means a lot of students will be force to take electives they aren’t interested in just to fill their schedules, Philip said.

“We’re about to be 18, and we’re having to take eight courses in a year and not focus on our future. I think that kind of goes against what apprenticeship programs are trying to do. I think it goes against university admittance and making that easier. It’s Continued on page 6

Canada Games Pool sparked levy plan By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A proposed one per cent capital levy may appear to have come out of left field to taxpayers, but it’s something the city has been pondering for some time in city hall as a way of addressing New West’s

aging infrastructure. At its Jan. 8 council meeting, council directed staff to implement an annual one per cent capital levy, with the funding helping to address the challenge of replacing infrastructure, buildings and equipment and investing in new services and infrastructure to meet

the needs of a growing community.The concept came forward as part of consideration of the city’s draft 2018 to 2022 financial plan, which is proposing a 2.95 per cent property tax increase this year. Mayor Jonathan Cote said the issue of a capital levy arose out of discussions about the finding

a way to fund the replacement of Canada Games Pool and other capital projects that will be required in the city. “Staff did present an option that we defer the capital levy until next year, but I actually think council is showing some leadership – if we want to be out there in

‘Missile strike’ alarm interrupts Hawaii vacation By Theresa McManus

FROM THE FRONT

Pool triggers new levy Continued from page 1 community about how these things are going to be funded, instead of pushing that off into the future,” he said. Cote said the city has spent a significant amount of time consulting with the public about new infrastructure projects like the Canada Games Pool/ Centennial Community Centre replacement and thought it was important to be able to let the community know about some of the costs associated with the project. “It’s the first time it is being considered,” he said of the levy. “As we go through this budget process, we are going to want to hear some feedback. I think the reality is, the thinking is, we are going to be utilizing some of these funds ongoing into future years.There is going to be opportunities for the city to be able to consider that.” Colleen Ponzini, the city’s acting chief financial officer, said the levy will strictly be used to fund the maintenance and replacement of the city’s capital assets. “For 2018, council has directed staff to put the levy towards the replacement of the Canada Games Pool/Centennial Community Centre,” she said. “The levy will be shown as a separate line item on the city’s property tax notices.” Ponzini said the concept of a capital levy has been around for quite a while and is something a number of munici-

palities in the region have implemented. “This year, the capital budgeting process with departments was particularly challenging with the need to increase funding for the maintenance/ replacement of existing capital assets, and finding moneys for new capital projects tied to the city’s strategic initiatives,” she said. “Because of these challenges, staff thought that it would be prudent to formally bring forward the capital levy as a potential funding solution.” A staff report states that some of the proposed items in the capital plan were removed because the plan was deemed to be “too ambitious” to complete in five years and “put too much pressure” on the city’s reserves, but those projects will eventually need to be done.The report states that the plan includes “significant capital requirements” that will require increased funding to maintain sustainable reserves – thus the introduction of a capital levy. The proposed 2018 capital budget is $64 million (up from $54 million in 2017) and includes funding for annual maintenance and replacement of transportation infrastructure, civic vehicles, vehicles and equipment, as well as projects like city hall renovations, relocation of the animal services facility and tow yard, uptown library upgrades and design work for the future re-

placement of Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre. The draft 2018 to 2022 financial plan is also proposing a 2.95 per cent tax rate increase to provide ongoing municipal services and funds to accommodate salary increases and additional staff and contracted services to deal with workload issues and strategic initiatives. In past years, staff have made a number of presentations to council about the budget, and department heads have appeared before council to make a case for funding various new staffing positions in that year’s budget. “During the year, departments have approached council to address staffing requirements.This year, most of the requests related to existing staff positions – extending term contract positions or making term positions into full-time positions depending on expected ongoing trends in workload,” Ponzini said in an email to the Record. “Since most of the requests had implications to existing staff, these discussions were conducted in closed council sessions.” Having presented the draft 2018 to 2022 financial plan at the Jan. 8 council meeting, the city is inviting community members to comment on the plan at its Feb. 5 meeting in council chambers. Staff anticipates that council will consider a financial plan bylaw at its Feb. 19 meeting.

Some prominent New Westminster residents felt a little “surreal” after being alerted to a potential missile strike during an otherwise relaxing vacation in Hawaii. Former New Westminster MLA and MP Dawn Black and husband Peter and Coun. Bill Harper and wife Delora are vacationing on Maui. On Saturday morning, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency sent out a statewide alert, with people receiving messages on their cell phones stating: “Emergency Alert – Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek immediate shelter.This is not a drill.” Thirty-eight minutes later, a subsequent message was sent out: “Emergency Alert:There is no missile threat or danger to the State of Hawaii. Repeat. False Alarm.” (An employee of the agency sent the warning out in error after pressing the wrong button.) Black missed the initial warning as she was in the shower, but heard the follow-up message loud and clear when the group was in a car en route to a market. “It was very startling. It was a siren on my phone. That certainly grabbed my attention,” she told the Re-

cord. “It was a really, really loud alarm on my phone – that was to say that the ballistic missile attack was in error, there was no missile. It was startling enough to get that.” While at the beach later in the day, Black bumped into Port Moody-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly who is also vacationing on Maui. He was sitting on his deck when a woman came by to warn that a ballistic missile had been launched. “Some people really did panic.They were horrified,” Black said. “At the market, some of the people packed up. But what are you going to do to protect yourself anyway? I guess you try and get underground. In Honolulu on Oahu some people were putting their children down manhole covers.That is so, so sad.” In response to concerns about North Korea’s missile and nuclear program, the State of Hawaii recently resumed testing of a nuclear attack warning sirens that inform people to stay indoors. “One of the things that has struck me is the Americans I have spoken to since Saturday is how really frightened they are by North Korea.That kind of plays into Trump’s hand,” Black said. “It’s scary.”

Trustees push for McBride approval New Westminster school trustees want Richard McBride Elementary School replaced, and they want it replaced now. Trustees sent a letter this week urging the Ministry of Education to approve funding for the Richard McBride Elementary School replacement project. “With each passing day, we worsen odds of seismic safety for more than 400 children, staff and their families,” trustees warned in the letter. The 87-year-old elementary school has been the district’s number 1 priority since it secured funding for a new high school in June

2016. Richard McBride Elementary School was built in 1929 after a fire destroyed the original school.The aging school has an H1 seismic rating and has the highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure. It wouldn’t be reparable after an earthquake. (The existing New Westminster Secondary School is also classified as H1.) Trustees hope by reaching out directly to the minister of education, they’ll keep the McBride project top of mind as the provincial budget announcement looms. – By Cayley Dobie, staff reporter

City ‘The students should be given a voice,’ says NWSS student Continued from page 1 just a negative effect all the way down,” he said. Last week, Philip started an online petition to gather support for his cause. The petition had 1,312 signatures by press time on Wednesday. He hopes by doing the petition, the school’s administration will change its mind. But a letter sent from principal John Tyler to students and parents on Friday, says the change was made to “support student success in achieving increased school engagement.” “We have learned through experience that students enrolled in full course schedules remain more focused and engaged in their education programs,” read the letter. Students will have the option of taking one study block during the year for Graduation Transitions Planning (GTP) independent study. If students enroll in the GTP independent course, they’ll have a study block every other day, according to administration. For exceptional circum-

stances, the school will consider applications from students looking for an additional study block.The application forms for these requests will be available later this year, according to the letter. “I think the application was implemented after everybody created a fuss about this, and also I think that letter should have come out probably weeks and weeks and maybe months before this course selection even came out,” Philip said, adding he shares Tyler’s concerns about students cutting classes in their final year. “That does take away from the school atmosphere, but also I don’t think that’s an option for many students.” On Tuesday, Philip went before the board of education to ask trustees to reinstate spare blocks for Grade 12 students next year. Trustees, while receptive to his concerns, told him the decision was a school decision and not something they could intervene in at this time. Associate superintendent

Karim Hachlaf agreed, adding the situation is in flux right now and there could be adjustments made in the

coming weeks. But Philip worries students won’t be part of the conversation.

“The students should be given a voice for things that affect us the most,” he said. The Record contact-

ed principal John Tyler for comment but had not heard back by press time.

GOOGLE FIVE STAR REVIEWS! We were extremely impressed with Lyle & Sandy’s enthusiasm in assisting us to sell our property. We live on a busy street, so knew the challenges we would have. Lyle & Sandy gave us confidence that their marketing plan would bring a successful sale. They informed us of the local property market & assisted us to price our home competitively. One weekend, two open houses produced four offers. We sold in one week 4% above asking. Just like that. Couldn’t have asked for a better result. They are a fantastic team. And for a flat fee, no less!! Cudos to them both!! - Barb Harding 914 10th Ave, New West

As first time home buyers we needed A LOT of help. Lyle and Sandy have been nothing short of incredible in helping us with everything from advice to organizing needed documents to referrals for other services to being a listening ear to our complaints on ridiculous property prices! We couldn’t have asked for friendlier, more helpful, client-first people to assist us in this huge part of our lives.

From the start we liked Sandy and Lyle. We had to move quickly on our sale and they made it happen quickly. We had one open house and multiple offers and sold considerably over asking. They were very knowledgeable and offered alot of advice. We were very pleased and will use them again in the future, we highly recommend them. - Maria Ann Marchioni & Santino Marchioni 519 Twelfth St, New West I worked primarily with Lyle in buying my first condo unit. In my experience, he was able to properly inform me of the blunt realities of today’s aggressive GVR housing market while still maintaining a low-pressure approach that respected my priorities and boundaries - even when my perspective wasn’t necessarily realistic. Both Lyle and Sandy struck me as keenly knowledgeable and perceptive: I remember marveling as they cruised through two apartment units, pointing out a stunning assortment features big and small, dissecting their details and expounding upon their greaterof significance like art historians at the National Gallery. My advice, if you’re like me and just starting off in this real estate stuff, is to make the most of this strength of theirs. They are remarkably friendly and responsive: ask them all the questions you can, big picture and minutiae. Buying real estate is emotional and you can easily get swept away by it all - it is essential as a real estate rookie that you get smarter and make informed, clinical decisions. I have every confidence that Lyle and Sandy can and do ensure that for their clients.

ASK THE EXPERT

New West working to preserve rental housing Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster wants to find ways to preserve affordable and rental housing despite development pressures. New Westminster city council has agreed to spend $40,000 on a land economics analysis to support the work being done as part of a rental replacement policy and an inclusionary housing policy. Mayor Jonathan Cote said both of the policies touch upon redevelopment, so the city wants to make sure it has some good, strong analysis about what the market can bear. “There’s no point putting in an inclusionary housing policy if that means that no development happens in the city and we don’t get any new housing units – affordable or market – out of the process,” he told the Record. “It really is testing the economics of the mar-

ket to say, how can we push the limit to try and encourage affordable housing to be part of the development but don’t push it so far that it actually leads to a decline or major slowdown of development in New Westminster?” Cote said inclusionary housing and purpose-built rental replacement are two “really important policy areas” that he’s looking forward to being put in place in New Westminster. A staff report states inclusionary housing policies aim to ensure that new developments don’t exclude certain classes of people by virtue of high market prices that are unaffordable for certain household income levels. The proposed inclusionary housing policy would strive to get developers to include some affordable and/or rental or special needs housing in new developments. “I think New Westminster has really been a leader when it comes to municipal policies with respect to

I’m struggling to get motivated to lose weight. Any advice?

affordable housing, but I think for us, we didn’t want to just rest on our laurels. We wanted to really say, what is the next big policy work out there?” Cote said. “With respect to inclusionary housing policy, you don’t see a lot of it in Metro Vancouver or in British Columbia, but it’s actually a tool that’s used quite significantly south of the border in the United States. I think it was an idea that really intrigued us, and one that we wanted to do some more policy work to see how it could fit in a city like New Westminster.There are a couple of other municipalities in Metro Vancouver that have started or are doing similar work in the region as well.” The proposed rental replacement policy would try to have some or all of the new units replaced as rental and/or affordable rental when existing rental properties are redeveloped.

A. The majority of my practice focuses on weight loss. Weight loss can feel like a huge mountain to climb, and the struggle may come from why you gained the weight in the ﬁrst place. I have suggestions Dr. Allana Polo, Naturopathic Physician that will prepare the body, and mind, for the mountain ahead. Know WHY You Are In It! Why do you want to lose weight? It may be simple, but if you are going to see the ﬁnish line, you need to run there with purpose. Those who form strong and compelling why’s at the start of their weight loss program, see the best results. A strong why is the force against a sugar craving. It will stop you from going up for seconds at dinner time. Drink Plenty of Water, make sure you don’t have any underlying thyroid or hormone imbalances causing weight gain. Find an Activity you love so you stay motivated to continue. Get a Journal to stay accountable. Learn Mindful Eating and eat only when you are hungry, not bored or stressed. Control Stress – Cortisol, our stress hormone can cause weight gain and water retention.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Taxpayer input clearly lacking in new levy

If readers were a bit surprised by our headline and story in last week’s paper about a one per cent levy added to NewWestminster homeowners’ tax bills, they weren’t alone. As the hometown newspaper, we like to think we’ve got our ear to the ground where taxpayer dollars are concerned. But we almost missed this one while we were checking our smartphones and looking at the 2.95 per cent base tax hike. The 2018 budget was

introduced at council on Monday Jan. 8.That was also the first time there was public mention of the one per cent levy. The one per cent levy popped up as a fait accompli without any call for public input or any public consultation in advance.While city officials say the public can provide input on the budget at its Feb. 5 meeting, that really seems a bit of an afterthought and a token gesture. Did the city councillors

and mayor decide to discuss this in camera and then present it hoping it would be like pulling a tooth quickly? Immediate pain and outrage and then, well, it’s old news. Sure looks that way. Now, we’re not saying that the one per cent levy is a bad idea. In fact, we think it’s necessary. What we are saying is that a city council and mayor that promised more “public engagement” have clearly failed in this case. There’s no question many

cities are finding themselves in a tough financial spot – and NewWestminster is no exception.We’re in an aging city that has not been keeping up maintenance as it should. Roads are rough, and city buildings are run down. Last year, the Arenex collapsed, and although it is not clear if that could have been prevented, what is clear is that our old city needs help. Civic politicians have tried to keep tax hikes below five per cent for ob-

vious reasons.When they say 2.95 per cent, it seems more like two per cent than three. It’s kind of like those $2.95 sales tags. But when you tack on utility hikes and then add a one per cent levy – it’s creeping closer to the five per cent mark. Politicians want to get reelected, and big tax hikes are usually considered a bad gambit to win votes.We get that. And it is an election year. The stark reality is that you can’t run a city on the

basis of a well-paid union staff, ambitious plans to revitalize the waterfront area, and build new recreation facilities without digging in between taxpayers’ sofa cushions for more money. But those same New Westminster taxpayers deserve to be “engaged” in the process – or, at the very least, be informed in advance of a major budget decision given its impact on their own personal budgets.

MY VIEW JENNIFER WOLOWIC

Reconciliation is here and now In response to Donald Dunbar’s and Geraldine Harder-Anderson’s recent letters, I would like to comment my experiences with reconciliation. I’m white; let’s just get that out of the way. Five years ago, I heard university students of all backgrounds exclaim about how angry they felt because they did not know about residential schools or the theft of land in B.C.They couldn’t understand why it wasn’t a part of primary learning. A few years ago, after hearing a news report on the Truth and Reconciliation Summary Report, my partner stormed in the door so angry I thought he would explode. “I knew it was bad,” he exclaimed, “But they starved and experimented on kids in Canadian residential schools. On kids! And the government knew! I had no idea.” In the last year, I’ve watched my NewWestminster friends’ eyes bug out when they learn the last residential school in British Columbia closed in 1996. Throughout this time, I’ve also listened to Indigenous young people share how thankful they feel to finally have a vocabulary to process the trauma they’ve experienced and the gratitude they feel knowing others are learning this vocabulary. It’s not about ancestors; it’s about this generation. Reconciliation is slow, challenging, sometimes frustrating conversations, and it’s working. I had no idea who Judge Begbie was until these conversations start-

ed happening.The conversations inspired me learn about a nuanced historical figure. A person willing to learn Indigenous languages for his court was certainly unique for his time. Does that excuse the blatant racism of decisions, colonialism and the skewed power dynamic of the time? No. I agree we should focus on the present. In the present, Canadians are making choices that tell our elected officials what we do and do not care about. Apparently, Canadians don’t care that many of their citizens don’t have clean drinking water or the health care they need.We tell our government officials it’s OK to underfund services to vulnerable groups.This generation is causing hardships to this generation.The hardships caused by our choices appear on our nightly news, but we choose not to fix them. Hopefully reconciliation will help our current choices. I am glad we get to have a debate about NewWestminster’s history in a moment of rapid redevelopment and change. I am glad reconciliation has inspired me to learn about Begbie and more about how B.C. law came to be. But I wish I knew other names as well. For example, I’d like to learn more about the founders of the Native Brotherhood, who did all they could to challenge racist and unfair fishing laws in B.C., and I want to know more about the Chinese immigrants and citizens that Continued on page 9

Guard shot by robber

Things could have gone much worse for a Wells Fargo Armoured Service security guard making a pickup at the Woodward’s department store in March. He was at the store at about 2 p.m. on a Friday when a man shot him in the back, grabbed a bag of cash and ran off. Luckily, the guard was wearing a bullet-proof vest. He was able to recover enough to give chase before the robber escaped through a roof exit.The culprit was seen fleeing the area in a red van with Washington state licence plates, and the guard was taken to hospital for observation. Police would not say how much money was in the stolen sack.

Letters Tax hikes are too much Dear Editor: As a resident of New Westminster for much of my life and a residential taxpayer for over 45 years, I am not impressed with more tax increases well beyond inflation. The city has announced a 2.95 per cent tax increase, which is greater than the inflation rate. But additionally, there will be a one per cent levy to finance capital projects. But wait, in addition to those sums there will be a six per cent increase for water; a seven per cent increase for sewer; and a three per cent increase for solid waste (formerly known as garbage). Originally all these costs were under one umbrella, your city taxes. Through the years they have managed to break these costs out and apply rates for each, and I guess attempt to fool us with separating them. But the bottom line is that it all comes out of the same pocket, that of the defenceless taxpayer. Perhaps instead of patting yourselves on the back for holding down costs, you should do a thorough analysis to see where you can reduce or at least contain costs. Most of your taxpayers are not able to increase their take-home beyond inflation to try to pay for these increases. Chuck Condon, New Westminster

Don’t judge the past Dear Editor: Thank you to Donald Dunbar and Geraldine Harder-Anderson for being voices of reason. Actions of the past should not be judged based on today’s standards. It seems ludicrous to think that by keeping Judge Begbie’s statue, and May Day for that matter, we are still colo-

nials. Those days are long gone. Research shows that Judge Begbie did much to help the Indigenous people and acted fairly and judiciously. Hopefully, we will not be judged so harshly by future generations. Sandra Sontowski, New Westminster

Moving forward together

Continued from page 8 helped form this province. And we should recognize the experiences of others: from the Sihks on the Komagata Maru to the recent wave of Syrian refugees – and all those in between. Knowing these realities doesn’t take away from my personal European heritage. I think we can learn to be a stronger community by honouring, challenging and recognizing all the members of our past generations. As a small start, let’s keep going towards making the Chinese cemetery under NWSS part of our popular urban landscape. And I think Begbie’s statue is asking us to do something interesting. Let’s not just remove it, but let him be joined by an Indigenous leader and an Asian leader. All three groups were instrumental to the era that formed what we now call British Columbia. And then let’s make other groups part of the memorialized city landscape and celebrate statues that inspire us to have challenging conversations. I will donate $100 towards those statues.

The city is set to unveil plans for a downtown park on the former home of the Chinese Benevolent Society. The site, located at 824 Agnes St., is currently home to the downtown dog offleash area.The lower portion of the off-leash area facing Carnarvon Street is privately owned and will become part of a high-density mixed-use development, but the top half of the park is slated to become a park. The Chinese Benevolent Society gifted the upper part of the site to the city, which plans to create a small park on the property. Some people have suggested a dog park isn’t a respectful use for the former Chinese Benevolent Society site. According to the city, the park designs were developed from the input provided by stakeholder groups including the Canadians for Reconciliation Society, the Chinese Benevolent Associ-

The purpose of Zoning Amendment Bylaw No 7953, 2018 is to exempt from ﬂoor space calculations the area occupied by additional wall insulation for single-detached homes achieving the top three levels of the BC Energy Step Code. The proposed Bylaw Amendment would also permit increased building height to allow for deeper insulation in the roof assembly and foundation for single detached homes achieving the top level of the BC Step Code or Passive House certiﬁcation.

WHAT ARE PASSIVE DESIGN INCENTIVES FOR SINGLE DETACHED ZONES?

For ground-oriented residential such as single detached homes, thicker insulated wall assemblies are essential to achieving the thermal performance and occupant comfort requirements of the highest energy standards like Net Zero Energy and Passive House, as well as ‘next step’ energy standards such as Energy Star and R2000. The proposed bylaw amendments would be applicable to new, high performance single detached homes in the RS-1 and RS-5 Single Detached Dwelling Districts, NR-1 and NR-5 Neighbourhood Residential Dwelling Districts and RQ-1 Queensborough Neighbourhood Residential Dwelling District.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

The proposed bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Division at City Hall 10 business days prior to the Public Hearing, January 15, 2018 to January 29, 2018.

Artists explore boundaries of the human body Corpus is set to open at the NewWestminster New Media Gallery with a reception on Jan. 25 Seven international artists whose works question our understanding of the human body are featured in the next exhibition at the NewWestminster New Media Gallery. Corpus opens on Jan. 25 with a reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m. It runs until April 8 at the gallery at Anvil Centre. “The works are poetic, disturbing, playful and profound,” says a press release. “These seven are extraordinary, innovative practitioners; exploring the boundaries of the human body and then questioning those very boundaries and ethics. Each conducts research with scientists, engineers, researchers and specialists in biogenetics.These emergent art-science-technology interactions have been described as biogenetic, transgenic, biotech, bioart.They point towards future creative practices.” The New Media Gallery is at Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. See www.new mediagallery.ca or call 604875-1865 for more.

Community Hyack Festival Association names new president Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new president has taken the helm of the New Westminster Hyack Festival Association and will be supported by some new faces and familiar folks from around town. Bryn Ward was sworn in as the association’s 2018

president at an official ceremony on Jan. 10 at the Inn at the Quay. She’s selected “Rooted in Tradition. Blossoming into the Future” as Hyack’s 2018 theme. “I am eternally grateful to have had the amazing opportunity to raise my daughter Shane in our Royal City. Named by Queen Victoria after her favourite part of London and once the capital of mainland

B.C., New Westminster is a magical city, rich in heritage and culture that encourages us to blossom, take root and grow,” she said in a press release. “The definition of blossom is to grow, evolve, develop, progress, come into one’s own.” Ward, whose daughter Shane was Hyack Princess in 2016, said it’s been incredible to see New Westminster Hyack Ambassa-

dors blossom into confident and well-spoken young women by serving the community and representing the city. “Our city has evolved, grown and modernized so much in a very short time,” she said. “The marriage of traditional and modernizing makes New Westminster a very unique and special place indeed.” The city’s past and the

present will be incorporated into Hyack’s new float, which will be unveiled in the spring.The Pacific Dogwood tree, which is B.C.’s floral emblem, will be showcased on 2018 Hyack Festival pins and its parade float. Joining Ward on the association’s board of directors are newcomers Trudy Jenkins,Theresa HenrySmith, Cam Bates,Virginia (Ginny) Bociek and

Rocky Suffron, and returning to the board is 2007 Citizen of theYear Rick Molstad.

SUPPORTING SENIORS If you’re concerned about seniors, you’ll want to mark this date down on your calendar. The Seniors Services Society is holding its annual Coldest Night of theYear event on Feb. 24 atWestminster Quay.The event raises money to support the society’s seniors housing programs. “Seniors are finding it harder and harder to find safe, appropriate and affordable housing in our area,” said Brian Dodd of the Seniors Services Society. “Many are finding themselves homeless for the first time in their lives.” See www.cnoy.org/ location/newwestminster. KEY ROLE FOR MP Peter Julian is pleased to be serving as the federal NDP’s House leader during a “dynamic” time for the

party. The NewWestminsterBurnaby MP previously held the position as the official Opposition House leader up until 2015 and was then reappointed House leader by former NDP leader Tom Mulcair after the 2015 election. Newly federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh appointed Julian as House leader of the NDP. “I am quite honoured to take it on. It’s a key position in the House of Commons,” he told the Record. “What I am responsible for is making sure that we have a robust response to government legislation, that we do a thorough analysis and that, when it’s in Canadians’ interests, we do everything we can to make sure that it becomes law and where it’s problematic, where it actually going to hurt Canadians, that we push back.” Singh, who does not have a seat in the House of Commons, will be crisscrossing the country meeting with Canadians in preparation for the next federal election in 2019.

LAST MONDAY AT THE MOVIES

Weekend ice show heralds PyeongChang Olympics Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster residents don’t have far to go if they’re looking for a way to get into the Olympic spirit. Community members are invited to attend the Peace PyeongChang 2018 Ice Show on Saturday, Jan. 20 at 8:30 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena.The free event is organized by the National Unification Advisory Council Vancouver chapter. Figure skaters Hyunah Yoo and David Gibson are directing the ice show, which features a warm-up show by the Korea Junior Dream Team, followed by three synchronized teams. More than 100 skaters are taking part in the show. “We will make the stage where the pure enthusiasm of Vancouver Canadians and Korean Canadians who pray for the success of the PyeongChang Olympic Games will be the best shine,”Yoo said in a press release.

Organizers are encouraging people to dress in their Vancouver Olympics 2010 attire or wear red and white for Canada, red, blue and white for Korea, or their own country’s colours. “It will be a big crowd,” Karen Baker-MacGrotty, co-chair of the New Westminster 2010 Spirit of B.C., said in an email to the Record. “As a thank-you for attending, the first 1,000 people will receive a free Olympic scarf. Expected attendance is already over 1,200 people and the number is growing daily, so it promises to be a lively event.” People are encouraged to arrive at the arena by 8 p.m. Prior to the show, there will be a photo zone in the lobby with Olympic mascots Soohorang and Bandabi, who are the official mascots of the PyeongChang Olympic Games. SenatorYonah Martin, who served two terms on the advisory council, said the council has chapters

around the world and holds events such as dialogue series and forums to raise awareness about the importance of a peaceful unification of Korea. Overseen by the unification ministry in Korea, she said the council advises the president of Korea. Martin, born in Korea and raised in Canada, became the first Korean-Canadian parliamentarian when appointed to the Senate in 2009, after running as the Conservative candidate in New Westminster-Coquitlam in the 2008 federal election. Martin is thrilled to be attending this weekend’s ice show. “I think the timing is perfect.The Olympics will begin Feb. 9.We have amazing skaters in Canada. Korea can boast aboutYuna Kim, who won the gold medal in women’s singles at the Vancouver Olympics,” Martin said. “Ahead of the Olympics, it hits on a number of points in an exciting way. And it’s timely too.”

OUR PAST

The Arenex is a valued piece of the city’s history Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Queen’s Park has a long and very colourful history that encompasses a tremendous range of topics and themes. In December of 2016, a new item was added to the story of this park with the collapse of the Arenex. Over the ensuing months, there has been much discussion about the loss of this structure, how it might be replaced, what needs to be replaced, where it might be rebuilt, how its former location could be put to good use and so on.There have also been questions directed to us about the history of the specific site where the Arenex once stood. The basic area of the Arenex was, over the years, the location of a number of small structures accommodating specific exhibition, park and community needs. At various dates we could see a dairy building, an old banquet hall, a manual training school, a simple frame all-purpose structure, a tent supply structure, and an entrance to the sideshow “Sockeye Run” entertainment zone. This is but a sampling of the types of things that could be found in Queen’s Park and were part of the landscape in which the

Arenex was located.We have not come too far up to date so have not included teen dances and concerts, antique and collectible shows, automobile shows, many sponsored events, long lists of special festivi-

ties, visits, celebrations and on and on. The Arenex was an important part of Queen’s Park history, and it will be missed, but it still holds its place as a valued piece of this story.

Schultz launches 2018 with strong showing By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

A year ago, Nina Schultz took the NCAA by storm. To follow it up, the New Westminster native is ready to make it a super sophomore season. The new year got off to a great start, as

the Kansas State University athlete posted a pair of strong showings in the first two meets of the indoor track season. Schultz led her team to the title at the KU-KSU-WSU Invitational last weekend, a three-school dual meet with in-state rivals Kansas and Wichita State. Schultz won both of her events – the high jump and 60-metre hurdles – to capture the

meet’s high point award. She topped the hurdles race with a time of 8.35 seconds, edging teammate Ariel Okorie, who finished second with a mark of 8.56. In the high jump, the New West secondary alumna peaked at 1.72 metres. Her goal this year is to continue the momentum she set last season, where she reeled off a number of personal bests and

set a new Canadian under-20 women’s total in the eight-event discipline. “Just improving every year is my goal, I don’t really worry too much about placing,” Schultz told the K-State website. “I just feel that if I improve and compete like I know how I can compete, my results will place me where I hope I can be placed. … We had Continued on page 28

Loss offers proof Hyacks on rise

NewWest senior boys push No. 3-ranked Burnaby South in league contest By Dan Olson

You didn’t need political spin to see that the positives outweighed the losses in New Westminster Hyacks’ 72-57 defeat at the hands of the Burnaby South Rebels last week. It wasn’t a win, but the senior boys faced their toughest test to date, and kept it close. As Hyacks coach Arno Richter sees it, if but for a raw performance at the free throw line, it would have been much closer. “Honestly, I’m pretty happy,” said Richter prior to yesterday’s league game against Moscrop (after the Record’s deadline). “A 15-point loss to a very good team, and that with our free throw shooting really, really badly.With a little bit of luck and an average 60 per cent from the line, it would have been a six-point game.” New West trailed by just two points after the first quarter and three at halftime before the Rebels

blew it open. Burnaby South, who’ve faced a multitude of ranked rivals in earning their No. 3-rating among 4-A squads, ramped it up in the third quarter. “It was the start of the third where it kind of came apart,” recalled Richter. “They scored like six quick points on us, and I had to call a timeout. ... (Burnaby South) has a gigantic size advantage, who are all good players and not just big bodies, but I thought we did a good job of staying on them.” Manraj Phangura counted a double-double for New West, scoring 13 points and pulling in 14 rebounds, while Ramadan Ali netted 14 points. It came on the heels of New West’s 70-62 victory over Burnaby North, where Phangura tallied 19 points and 15 boards. The Hyacks head over to play in the Victoria Police Tournament this weekend, opening up against hosts St. Michael’s today.

Sport strengthens bonds for Royal City curlers

Mikis share quality time when it comes to throwing rocks Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Joshua Miki is a chip off the curling rock, who himself is a chip off the curling rock. A third generation of the Miki family is starting to make shavings on the curling sheet. Joshua, 16, is following his dad, former world champion and Burnaby native Bryan Miki, to the hog line. Bryan learned the game from his dad, Fuji, a one-time national mixed champ. All three curl out of New West’s Royal City Curling Club. It’s no surprise the sport is pretty much all the talk around the family dinner table. Two weeks ago, Joshua was the second on Dawson Ballard’s Royal City/Coquitlam Curling Club team that won their under-18 pro-

vincial qualifier in Mill Bay. They lost a 3-1 thriller to Tyler Tardi’s team from Langley/Royal City last month in the Boston Pizza B.C. Jr. Men’s Under-21 Curling championships. Coached by Joshua’s dad, the player gets the benefits and stress of the family ties. “You hear different perspectives and tactics,” Joshua said of his dad’s coaching. “But sometimes if you have a rough game, you don’t want to hear it.” “Once a parent, always a parent,” said Bryan, whose accomplishments recently led to his being named to the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame for induction on Feb. 22. “There are times I have to bite my tongue.” With all the time the family spent at curling rinks, it was perhaps inevitable Joshua picked up

the broom as a 10-year-old. Bryan said his ascent to competitive curling took longer as there was more competition in his day. Joshua said it’s a challenge now to muster interest to form a team at school. But the more he curls, the more he loves it. “It doesn’t feel like work,” Joshua said. He credits his father for sharing the lessons he learned at the national and international levels on things like game preparation, sleeping, managing travel and practice time. “I’ve made so many mistakes,” Bryan said. “I compress 30 years of experience into a short period of time.” As Joshua’s confidence grows, Bryan knows his voice as his coach will diminish and he can put his

good kids,” he said. “It’s like life.”

It’s been nearly two seasons since he played, but New Westminster’s Justin Morneau made it official on Wednesday, when he retired from Major League Baseball. The one-time American League MVP – in 2006 – was scheduled to announce his retirement in Minneapolis, the site where many of his baseball highlights were played out. It’s also expected that the Twins will add

Morneau to their staff. His career saw him slug

247 home runs and 1,603 hits over 14 seasons.
