CREATING ART OUT OF TRASH

City points ﬁnger at other levels of gov’t Downloading costs adds to financial pressures facing NewWestminster By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Senior governments are to blame for some of the rising costs being passed on to local taxpayers. That’s the gist of discussions in council chambers Monday night, when city council received a staff presentation and heard from community members about the city’s 2018 to 2022 financial plan, which proposes a 2.95 per cent property tax increase and a new one per cent capital levy. Taxpayers are also facing utility rate increases for water (six per cent), sewer (seven per cent) and solid waste (three per cent). Colleen Ponzini, the city’s acting chief financial officer, said wages and benefits represent about 67 per cent of the city’s operating budget. In addition to pressures on existing services and infrastructure resulting from a growing population and development, she said external factors such as downloading from senior levels of government also impact the budget. West End resident Bill

Zander said he doesn’t have a problem with any particular aspect of this year’s $124.1-million budget, but voiced concerns about the impact on some citizens. While his family can afford to pay the increases, he said there are a lot of people who are on fixed incomes or are living un-

Molly Marineau is on a mission to turn waste into art. Marineau, a Vancouver-based artist, has just started her stint as New Westminster’s first solid waste and recycling artist in residence. For five months, Marineau will be working out of the city’s engineering operations yard and Anvil Centre to take items she finds in the city’s solid waste and recycling streams and turn them into art – all with a mission to help start conversations about waste, the environment and our consumer culture. See page 24 of today’s paper for a story about Marineau and her work.

der the poverty line. “The four per cent for some of them, it might be a back breaker because their landlord is going to raise their rent and they are already against a wall,” he said. “We can look at some real problems in this town and in this country if things keep going the way they are.” Zander said downloading from the provincial and federal Continued on page 6

Up Front NEW HIGH SCHOOL

You’re invited to check out the plans In Round 2 of the public consultation process, the interior design of the new school will be revealed Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The community will get a chance to check out the plans for the new New Westminster Secondary School starting this month. Round 2 of community consultations for the new high school begin Thursday, Feb. 15 and run until Thursday, March 15. “We are really looking forward to this opportunity to unveil the design for the interior of the school and further connect with the community regarding their interests and considerations around remaining external considerations,” Karim Hachlaf, associate superintendent for the New Westminster School District, said in a press release. “Significant work has taken place since we last consulted in fall 2016. We are well on our way to welcoming our students to a beautiful new school in September 2020.” The school district is encouraging the public to attend one of two open houses or two small group meetings to see renderings and learn about plans for the school spaces including the grand commons (foyer), classrooms and collaborative learning spaces, cafeteria, library, workshops, performing arts and athletics. During the consultation process, people can provide input on outdoor spaces, pedestrian and cyclist access and amenities and student pick-up and

drop-off areas and other items related to the project. They can also sign up for construction updates. “The board is very proud of the design for the new school as it fully captures our vision and aspirations,” said Mark Gifford, chair of the board of education for the New Westminster School District. “Every space has been thoughtfully designed, with the needs of students, teachers and the broader community in mind.” Materials, including a discussion guide and feedback form, will also be available at newnwss.ca starting on Feb. 15. Community members are invited to attend an open house on Thursday, March 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. and on Saturday, March 10 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Both drop-in open houses are taking place in Fraser River Middle School’s gymnasium, 800 Queens Ave. The school district is also holding small group meetings on Tuesday, Feb. 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. and on Thursday, March 8 from 6 to 8 p.m., with both meetings taking place in the school district office boardroom at 811 Ontario St. (next to Fraser River Middle School). Because space is limited for the two-hour sessions, people must register in advance by emailing newnwss@sd40.bc.ca or calling 778-379-3310. According to the school district, the $106.5-million project will be the largest

THE FUTURE: The image above is a preliminary rendering of what the main entry of the new New Westminster Secondary School will look like when it opens in September 2020.

school investment in B.C.’s history. Scheduled to open in September 2020, the new school will accommodate 1,900 Grade 9 to 12 students and will provide

a state-of-the-art learning environment. Last December, the New Westminster School District and the Ministry of Education selected Gra-

ham Design-Builders with KMBR Architects Planners Inc. to design and build the new school, based on their proven expertise in this area, ability to deliver on time and on budget, and an extensive and thorough understanding of the project’s requirements. “The school will be designed and constructed in two phases. Design of Phase 1, which includes most aspects of the new school, including teaching and learning spaces, visual and performing arts spac-

es, athletic facilities and administration space, is almost finalized, with the exception of some elements that may be revised based on input from this consultation,” said a press release from the school district. “Phase 2 includes deconstruction of the existing school, design and construction of the surrounding grounds and access, and design and construction of the memorialization area.”

THE CHANGING CITY

Retro arcade still hopes to play in New West Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It remains to be seen whether it’s game on for a businessman hoping to open a retro amusement arcade in the Royal City. On Feb. 19, city council will consider a temporary use permit for 457 East Columbia St. in Sapperton, which would allow the

building to be used as an amusement arcade. Staff is recommending approval of a two-year temporary use permit, during which time the city could evaluate the issue and consider whether restrictions on arcades should be reduced in New Westminster. Anyone wishing to comment on the application is invited to attend an “op-

portunity to be heard” in city council chambers on Monday, Feb. 19. The two-year temporary use permit would include a number of conditions, such as: no liquor service; no gambling; ageappropriate games; and operating hours of 6 a.m. to midnight. The McBride Sapperton Residents’ Association has passed a mo-

tion in support of the temporary use permit. If it’s shown to be a successful operation, staff said the city could consider the business on a permanent basis near the conclusion of the two-year temporary use permit. In response to complaints about noise, hours of operation and nuisance behaviours of patrons, the

City of New Westminster adopted strict regulations for arcades in 1999. The planning division’s longterm work plan includes a review of the regulations for amusement arcades. Surrey resident Brad Eyers has been in talks with the city for about two years about his goal of opening a retro gaming arcade that would fea-

ture games from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s, such as PacMan, Donkey Kong and Burgertime. Previous attempts to open the business in downtown New Westminster and Sapperton have been thwarted by delays in getting approvals from city hall and issues with potential locations.

The amending bylaw would also update references within the Zoning Bylaw from the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) to the updated Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR); and would update references within the Zoning Bylaw from ‘marihuana’ to ‘cannabis’ to match wording in proposed Federal and Provincial regulations and documents. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

City Are capital levies the way of the future in B.C.? Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is poised to introduce a levy to bulk up its capital coffers – joining an increasing number of cities adopting levies to fund transportation and infrastructure projects. City council recently 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. It’s a move that a number of B.C. cities and regional districts have adopted or are considering to address their capital infrastructure needs. Here’s a sampling of some of the levies implemented or being considered in other B.C. communities: Port Moody: On top of this year’s tax increase, the City of Port Moody’s 2018 draft financial plan proposes a one per cent tax increase for an “asset renewal levy”

that would be used for the replacement and upgrading of existing city infrastructure. Port Moody is also considering a one per cent tax increase for a master transportation plan levy. District of West Vancouver: In 2016, the district created an asset levy to provide for the maintenance and replacement of its capital assets.While a 2.45 per cent levy was approved as part of the 2017 budget discussions, the issue was a divisive topic, with the may-

or and a councillor voting against the budget. Quesnel: Faced with a significant deficit for infrastructure funding, the City of Quesnel launched the “capital reinvestment program” in 2015 that included a special levy for infrastructure and an annual five per cent increase to utility fees. District of North Vancouver: In an effort to address its infrastructure needs, the District of North Vancouver has a one per

cent asset renewal policy. A 2018 budget report indicates staff is recommending the policy continue to 2022, as it will “enable the district to reduce its infrastructure backlog and begin to replenish its reserves.” Capital Regional District: The Capital Regional District’s “land acquisition fund” collects a levy of $20 per average residential household to buy land to add to the regional parks and trails system and is expected to generate about

$3.7 million annually.When it was established in 2000, the fund collected $10 per household, but that was increased $2 each year starting in 2010.The regional district’s parks committee has discussed the idea of surveying Greater Victoria residents as to whether they want the $20-per-houshold levy collected to buy parkland to also be used to build park infrastructure such as parking lots, trails and washrooms.

‘For too long, municipalities have been downloaded onto’ Continued from page 1 governments creates a huge problem for the taxpayers and can be seen at the municipal level where infrastructure such as roads and sewers are falling apart. “The downloading from the federal government, in my opinion, is an outrage,” he said. “I am surprised it isn’t raised here in council.” The city’s 2018 capital program is $63 million, of which $50 million is projected to be funded from reserves, $7 million from debt and $6 million from grants and contributions. Projects included in this year’s capital budget include the relocation of the animal services and tow yard, uptown library renovations, city hall renovations and seismic work, improvements to the city’s transportation

and parks infrastructure, buildings and fleet maintenance, and design work on the Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre replacement. The city is introducing a new one per cent capital levy, which will initially be put toward the Canada Games Pool/Centennial Community Centre project. Some residents wrote to council expressing concerns about the levy, with some saying the city needs to “better manage” the tax dollars it collects. “In an already overtaxed city, the proposed Canada Games Pool infrastructure levy goes too far.The need to do something about CGP has been around for years, and necessary action should have been part of the city’s regular budgeting process,” said Arthur Close

in an email to council. “Once in place, the levy will not disappear. A new infrastructure need will arise to justify its continuation and on it will go to become a permanent additional tax like that for garbage collection, etc. In a well-managed city, a special levy like this should not be necessary, and this ill-conceived idea should be killed forthwith.” Mayor Jonathan Cote assured Zander that city council has been “a strong advocate” against the downloading that’s happened over the last number of decades, most recently when it relates to the housing crisis. “For too long, municipalities have been downloaded onto,” he said. “I think it surprises folks that only eight cents on every tax dollar goes to local governments, yet when you think

FRESH CHOICES

of all the types of work we do and the responsibilities that local governments

In an already overtaxed city, the proposed Canada Games Pool infrastructure levy goes too far

have, the things we work on is what people see in their neighbourhoods and are important services that are there, but we don’t necessarily have the support we may have had in previous generations from senior lev-

els of government.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the city is working hard to try and access some of the federal infrastructure money that’s been promised. “We are aware that there is a program coming.We are doing everything we can to prepare ourselves to apply for that when it is available, and hopefully we can reduce the load a little bit on major projects, like Canada Games Pool, when that becomes available,” Johnstone said. “I hear you and I hear many people in the community who are saying exactly the same thing – these increases are getting difficult. I don’t have a better answer than we need to continue to pay for the infrastructure that we need to pay for, and I hope senior government

help is coming.” A staff report stated the electrical utility is budgeted to have a three per cent increase this year, but that will be considered in late March. “B.C. Hydro is currently doing a review of their rate structures, and given that our purchase of electricity from B.C. Hydro is directly from them, that will have a very significant impact,” Cote said. “Likely, the numbers that are presented today are outdated and actually not reflective of what we might be seeing.We actually have to know what B.C. Hydro is doing before we are able to move forward with that discussion.”

Campbell named new deputy for B.C. Greens Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster school trustee Jonina Campbell is taking on a high-profile role with the B.C. Green Party. Green party leader Andrew Weaver has appointed the New West resident as the party’s second deputy leader.The New Westminster school board trustee ran for the Greens in last spring’s provincial election, tripling the party’s support in New West from 8.35 per cent in 2013 to 25.36 per cent. “It is a privilege to be able to serve in a leadership role, and I am really excited,” Campbell told the Record. “I ran as a candidate because I wanted to be part of a team that is making decisions that make the world a better place for my children and grandchildren. I see the Greens gaining in momentum and people really coming to a place where they are saying, ‘Wow, this is a party that represents all the issues and really puts people first, and can find that balance

between the economy, people and the environment.’” Campbell replaces Matt Toner, who stepped down as the party’s second deputy leader in December. Cowichan Valley MLA Sonia Furstenau is the party’s first deputy leader. “For me, it’s an exciting party to be at. It’s about getting out there and looking at being bold and courageous, and not necessarily making sure we get re-elected. I think people are really looking to be inspired and looking for new ideas,” Campbell said. Campbell’s responsibilities as deputy leader include supporting the growth of the party’s riding associations, liaising between the caucus and provincial council, and representing the party in media appearances and at public events. “It’s an opportunity for me to play that role in growing and building our party, especially at the grassroots level, really looking how to grow and engage membership,” Campbell said. “One of those ways will be

through growing our riding associations. I also see it as an opportunity to really get out there and connect with people, not just Metro Van, but all across British Columbia about who we are, being able to grow that awareness of the B.C. Greens and what we are about and what we offer.” The Greens made history in the 2017 provincial election when Weaver, Furstenau and Adam Olsen were elected. Following the election, the Greens signed a “confidence and supply agreement” and agreed to support NDP budgets or confidence motions, allowing the NDP to form a minority government. Weaver is happy to have Campbell on board. “Jonina is an incredibly motivated, compassionate, knowledgeable and capable person who brings a breadth of experience to this position,” he said in a press release. “We are richer and stronger for her commitment to the party and especially to the province at large.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

How much of this is just noise to deaf ears?

Everyone, from social media experts to police, is urging us to be vigilant in our use of the internet and to make sure our kids are safe. But how much of this is just noise to deaf ears? Last Thursday, it was ChangeYour Password Day to avoid being a target for identity theft. On Tuesday, it was Safer Internet Day to encourage leaders and parents to work together to

teach children and youth to be safe online. The worry is great and it’s not just for the kids. Adults need to acknowledge that cyberbullying is a problem, that racist and sexist comments are part of the online culture, and that maybe we should all stop and think before posting a nasty comment. Things are getting to the point where those who create the technology we use

are trying to unplug, according to a recent news report. They’re banning themselves from Snapchat, promoting meditation as a way to disconnect and hosting face-to-face gatherings as a way to counter the effects of being alone and online constantly. One tech worker even had someone put parentcontrol features on his new iPhone to stop him from

downloading more apps. Here’s the thing, the internet is a wonderful and helpful invention.We need it every day to connect, do work and share our thoughts. But the constant connection has a downside in loss of human connection, mental health concerns and decreased productivity. Oddly, it’s against this backdrop that a press release dropped into this pa-

per’s inbox proclaiming that eight rest stops in Super, Natural British Columbia are getting WiFi so travellers can stay connected. Of course, what is a family picnic at a picturesque rest stop without access to the internet, we wonder. Yes, we get it. Convenience is important, and there are many good reasons to have access to WiFi.We just hope the next family camping trip can leave the inter-

net alone for a few days, allowing everyone to take a much-needed break. To borrow from 1960s counterculture icon Timothy Leary, it’s time to turn off the tech, tune in to each other and drop in on someone instead of FaceTiming them. If Google,Twitter and Facebook workers can do it, so can the rest of us.

MY VIEW STEPHANIE CLARK

I don’t want to leave New West My name is Stephanie Clark, I am 35 years old, have lived in New Westminster my entire life, and now I think I have to move. Let me be clear: I don’t want to move; I love this city, I love being surrounded by family and friends that also call New West their homes, and it offers a convenient location for me and my partner’s jobs. Now we have a one-year-old daughter and had hoped to raise her here. Sadly, I see my beloved city turning into a place that feels like it is turning its back on young families, and many of us are being priced out of both owning and renting a home here. Both my partner and I have good jobs – I am in a senior role at another municipality and he is a dev/ ops engineer for a tech firm downtown – and yet the cost of living here is getting to be too high for us to stay. Because of how attached I am to this city, I accepted that my family will never own a house here. My daughter will never have a yard to play in, we won’t have space for a family dog, and we will not be able to have the same living conditions that we did growing up, despite higher levels of education and income. I have to draw the line, though, at not even being able to afford a small condo that I can expect won’t be in a sardine-packed area with no green space, no parking, schools with portables instead of play spaces and year-round noise and air pollution of constant construction.While I recognize

that some of this is the reality of living in an urban area, I also expect city council to ensure this is well-balanced with the preservation of our community. When an article came out about council’s decision to approve the development at Sixth and Carnarvon, it felt like a last straw of hope that we could stay. The suggestion by the development team member in the article is that young people will be able to stay in New Westminster because of this and similar developments. I take issue with this as well because the chances of young people being able to afford units in the brand new building are extremely thin. If my 1995-built, twobedroom condo is valued at just shy of half a million dollars, how much will a brand new one go for? If we look at the rental prices of the recently completed Novare building located across the street, I’d say most of us are priced out before the developers even break ground. The new mortgage regulations make it difficult to afford older, less expensive homes and impossible for this type of new build real estate for middle-income families. My roots are deep in this city: my grandparents raised their family in Sapperton, my parents raised me in Queen’s Park, and I want to raise my daughter here. I really hope that becomes a possibility. Stephanie Clark is a New Westminster resident. For a full version of this letter, see www. newwestrecord.ca.

Enough with the muzak

He had put up with the “regular 2:30 a.m. cacophony of cursing, breaking bottles and fights by the patrons of Chicago Tonight” and drunks using the doorways of his apartment building and downtown business as a “pissoire,” but up with one thing Carnarvon Street resident James Breckenridge could not put: elevator music blaring from the Eighth Street SkyTrain station from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. “How would you like to have muzak in your ear 14 hours a day?” he wrote in a letter to city hall in April. Breckenridge launched a petition to have music turned down, if not off.

Letters No offence was intended Dear Editor: Re: Play, ad are offensive, Letters to the Editor, the Record, Feb. 1. To B. Kendall: Vagabond Players, nor the poster designer, had any intention of offending anyone. The wine in the play is not sacramental wine. It has not been blessed, does not get blessed and is never meant to be blessed. The play does not include any use of a chalice either. The poster is a work of representational art created by a volunteer to help promote the production. Thank you for sharing your concerns. It’s an unfortunate situation and we did not mean you, nor anyone else, any disrespect. Jeremy Heynen, president, Vagabond Players

‘Superstitious nonsense’ has no place in society Dear Editor: Your correspondent B. Kendall takes offence at a farce about nuns and wine. There are billions of people who are not in the least offended by mocking of silly rituals that have been created to allow a few “leaders” to control the masses by controlling their actions and thoughts. To bring up 2018 as a reason to be accepting of religious nonsense, and in the same paragraph denying others of their right to laugh at such nonsense, is rather hypocritical. B. Kendall offers not a shred of offence at the raping and sodomizing of children by the clergy. Not a shred of offence at the coverup of said criminal acts. What about those of us who are offended

by superstitious nonsense being the basis for some of the regulations we have to live with. What about the offensive, to some, presence of monuments to ignorance, otherwise known as churches, which are impossible to ignore. What about the religious programming that pervades the airwaves spreading lies and imploring the susceptible to surrender their money and reason to enrich the likes of Kenneth Copeland, Jim Bakker, Joel Osteen et al. We no longer need a book that claims the earth was created before the sun and that stars will fall to the earth, to provide us with moral guidance. We no longer need a book that prescribes stoning to death for a number of trivial offences. We no longer need the organizations that use that discredited book to mislead the laity. That these organizations still exist offends me. Robert Granewall, New Westminster

Fireplaces don’t belong Dear Editor: In a modern urban “society” the smell of smoke should be deemed an emergency and the fire brigade be alarmed with haste. It is thus unfair to persons, alarmed by the smell of smoke, especially after some personal investigation finds that a neighbour feels some need for a moment of nostalgic fire gazing or more dangerously assume the smoke be from a fire gazer when it’s a house burning down. Fireplaces are Peter and a lit fireplace is crying wolf. So let our neighbourhoods not be a village set in folklore. Frank Burn, New Westminster

News of the

City seeks better grant program Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of NewWestminster supports Metro Vancouver’s efforts to regulate smoke emissions from indoor wood-burning appliances but has a few suggestions on how the program can be enhanced. With 27 per cent of the fine particle emissions in the region stemming from indoor residential wood-burning appliances like fireplaces and stoves, MetroVancouver is consulting with communities about regulating those emissions. “Yes, it has been very contentious,” said Roger Quan, MetroVancouver’s director of air quality and climate change. “We are actually probably going to extend the consultation period on the regulation.” Quan said MetroVancouver is proposing woodburning devices be registered to ensure they’re able to meet a standard set by the Ca-

nadian Standards Association and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. “It actually equates to 4.5 grams per hour,” he said. “So the newer wood stoves, the only type of wood stoves that are available for sale within the province of B.C. now under provincial regulation would meet that certification standard.There are probably situations where the use of Presto logs and formed logs would also be able to meet that standard.” If a homeowner can demonstrate their open-hearth fireplace meets the 4.5 grams per hour standard when burning certain types of wood, Quan said it would be able to be registered with MetroVancouver. “It’s not a complete ban,” he stressed. “I would call it a performance-based standard for residential woodburning.” MetroVancouver is proposing a number of exemptions to the registration re-

quirements, such as when the appliance is the sole source of heating or cooking in a home, when there’s an economic hardship or during emergency situations such as a power outage. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said a more robust grants program should be included as part of the initiative, as it’s expensive to install retrofits that would help fireplaces meet the emissions standard. “A lot of these homes are owned by seniors for who a $700 or $1,000 layout is just too prohibitive to address this,” he said. “There are going to be people out there who want to do the legal thing, but don’t want to completely give up having a fire at Christmastime either.” Council forwarded a staff report, which supported the region’s proposed bylaw to regulate smoke emissions, to MetroVancouver, but asked it to consider an enhanced grant program to

Next steps

MEHR KHATTAK

Here’s what Metro Vancouver is proposing as a phased-in approach: A seasonal restriction on the use of indoor residential wood burning appliances between May 15 and Sept. 15 – beginning in May 2020. Registration requirements for indoor residential wood burning appliances, based on the amount of particulate matter released – beginning in September 2022. Prohibition of residential wood smoke emissions from unregistered appliances, unless other conditions apply, from September 2025.

Nearly one year after The Globe and Mail revealed an average of 27 per cent of sexual assault allegations in New Westminster were deemed “unfounded,” the New Westminster Police Department has created a specialized investigations unit committed to investigating sex assault cases in the city. The creation of the new unit is the result of a review

by the New Westminster Police Department into the department’s handling of sex assault allegations.The review was prompted by a Globe article that used statistics from police departments across the country to show that, on average, 19 per cent of sexual assault cases in Canada are classified as “unfounded.” “After a review regarding the handling of sexual assault allegations, we took a look at how we could better approach these types of

files,” New Westminster police spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott said in a police press release. The new unit will investigate all sexual assault allegations using a model used by the domestic violence unit, which partners detectives with counsellors. The intention is to provide “timely access to support for the victim that continues from the time of reporting the crime through to the end of the criminal process and beyond if re-

quired,” according to the press release. “Sexual assault is one of the most personal, invasive, and traumatic crimes a victim can suffer,” said specialized investigations unit Det. Judy Roberston in the release. “We are hopeful that a dedicated unit offering a victim-centered approach will be a step in the right direction.” Anyone wanting to contact the specialized investigations unit is asked to call 604-525-5411.

In the spotlight: No Foreigners, a production by Hong Kong Exile and fuGEN Theatre, is onstage at the Cultch until Feb. 17. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

‘Chineseness’ explored in new show at Cultch A local artist is one of the co-creators of a new show currently playing at the Cultch. No Foreigners, presented by Hong Kong Exile and fu-GEN Theatre in association with Theatre Conspiracy, is onstage Feb. 7 through 17. One of the originators of the show is Remy Siu, who’s from New Westminster. Siu is a composer and designer who’s part of Hong Kong Exile, an interdisciplinary arts company that’s been creating new work and touring since 2011.

This newest outing uses live performance and a micro-to-macro camera apparatus to consider Chinese shopping malls as “racialized spaces of cultural creation and clash,” as a press release says. “Several original stories manifest in a mall and quickly diverge – catapulting across cities, between Cantonese and English, in and out of the afterlife, and through past, present and future,” the release says. “No Foreigners weaves together text, miniatures and media design as it attempts to un-

pack what is at the heart of ‘Chineseness’ and what the future can hold for all of us as visitors and settlers.” It was co-created by Siu, Natalie TinYin Gan, Milton Lim and DavidYee. The show is performed by April Leung and Derek Chan. It’s onstage at the Vancity Culture Lab at the Cultch, 1895 Venables St., until Feb. 17. All tickets are $27. See tickets.thecultch.com or call 604-251-1363. See www.hongkongexile. com for more information about the company.

LACROSSE MILESTONE You can be sure there will be a strong contingent of Royal City residents at this weekend’sVancouver Stealth game at the Langley Events Centre. NewWest resident Curtis Hodgson, the former team captain who retired in the offseason after playing more games for the franchise than any other player, is having his number 6 jersey retired at the Stealth’s game against the Saskatchewan Rush on

Saturday, Feb. 10. Hodgson, whose number is the first to be retired by the Stealth, played 211 National Lacrosse League games over 13 seasons for the team. He missed just five games in 13 seasons and served as the team’s captain for the past four seasons until announcing his retirement. Hodgson, a vice-principal at Burnaby South Secondary School, hasn’t announced whether he’ll be returning to play for the NewWestminster Salmonbellies, who won theWestern Lacrosse Association championship last year and lost their bid for a Mann Cup to the Peterborough Lakers.

Canada Way

You’re invited to attend a family-friendly Scottish social dance party and support local athletes who will be playing for Team Scotland at the 2018 FIL Lacrosse World Cup Games in Israel this summer. Matt MacGrotty is Team Scotland’s captain, and Jordan McBride, Jimmy McBride, Dan McQuade, IainVickars and Dean Stewart may be on the team. “All players must pay their own transportation expenses, purchase their own uniforms/equipment and registration fees for the games,” said Karen BakerMacGrotty, who is helping to organize the fundraiser. “Come help support our Men in Kilts on their road to Israel and wish them well.” The ceilidh takes place on Saturday, Feb. 10 from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. at the Heritage Hall, 826 12th St. “Wear kilts, tartan anything, red and white for Canada or whatever you please to have a fun time with our lacrosse players and members of the Scot-

tish community,” BakerMacGrotty said in an email to the Record. “There is a little Scottish in everyone!” Tickets to the all-ages event are $10 (free for kids eight and under) and must be purchased in advance at eventbrite.ca (search for 2018 FILWorld Lacrosse Team Scotland Road to Israel) as the hall has a limited capacity. (Some players and fans will be arriving a bit later as they’ll be attending that evening’sVancouver Stealth and Saskatchewan Rush game in Langley.) The evening includes a cash bar (with beer, wine, cider, Scotch and non-alcoholic beverages), snacks, a silent auction, Scottish dancers, a ceilidh band, bagpipes, DJ and more.

And it will leave you believing in the power of “forever” love. Lara (Publisher)chose “When Harry Met Sally” One of the greatest rom-com’s to come out in the 80’s - the film raises the question “Can men and women ever just be friends?”

www.tamarindhill.ca

Directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring a dreamy 21-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio, this has one of the greatest movie soundtracks and amazing cinematography.” Dan (Sports Reporter) chose “A Room with a View” A classic from 1985, based off the novel of the same name by E.M. Forster. Sheila (Sales Support)chose “Love Actually” Is the snow making you think about Christmas again? This a great film tied in with Christmas to give you a good laugh.

One woman’s trash is another woman’s art Molly Marineau has taken up a new post as the city’s first solid waste and recycling artist in residence Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Molly Marineau was that kid out in the yard, getting her hands dirty while she built little cities out of grass and earth. She was also the kid rearranging cans in the grocery store aisles to make them look more organized. She figures it’s those two sides of her personality that led her to where she is today: embarking upon a stint as the city’s first solid waste and recycling artist in residence. Yes, you read that right. The city’s engineering and arts services departments are teaming up for the program, which will give Marineau a five-month term – from Feb. 1 to June 30 – as the artist in residence. She’ll work out of

Artists are good at seeing through cultural veils both the Anvil Centre and office space in the city’s engineering operations yard (a.k.a. the works yard, home of recycling operations, garbage trucks, signage and a whole lot more), using whatever she finds from the city’s recycling operations to turn it into art. “It’s a really cool and unique opportunity for me,” Marineau says. “It sounds like I can just sort of make myself at home. I’m just going to go with the flow and see what works.” The residency is a natural extension of the work Marineau has already been doing. The Idaho native channelled her lifelong interests in being creative and in “organizing the world”

into studies in architecture. It was during an elective course in art history at the University of Idaho that Marineau discovered the conceptual art movement, which focused on the ideas behind art rather than its traditional formal and visual elements. It was also where she discovered the idea of making art out of found objects and set herself on a new artistic path. After moving to Vancouver a few years ago when her partner came to UBC to study architecture, she found herself drawn to create work based on the things she found in her travels. She collects things from the sidewalk as she travels the city – especially grocery lists and handwritten notes – and takes them back to her studio to turn them into art. “I feel like I’m connecting with the city, in a way,” she says. This residency will allow her to expand on that foundation. She already has many ideas in mind – she has a sketchbook full of pages of concepts to explore – but she’s open to being inspired by anything and everything she finds. “I like to work pretty experimentally,” she says, noting she’ll be working with video, sculpture, painting, embroidery, mixed media and more to create her work. “I’m glad I have five months to explore.” As she works, Marineau says, there’s a natural inclination to question issues surrounding our culture: issues of environment, waste, consumerism and more. “It’s hard when you live in a culture to see outside of it, to see it from the outside in,” she says. “Artwork about waste, about recycling, about garbage, about the environmental effects of

THE ART OF WASTE: Molly Marineau will be working out of both Anvil Centre and the city’s engineering operations yard as she takes up her post as the first solid waste and recycling artist in residence for the City of New Westminster. PHOTO LISA KING garbage, is a really good way to bring up those subjects.” Marineau notes there’s a tendency in our culture to try to just forget about waste: we throw stuff away and the city deals with it; only a small number of people ever have to actually think about what we do with the waste. “I think it’s really cool that New Westminster is hiring artists to talk about waste,” she says. “Artists are good at seeing through cultural veils.” Moreover, she says, exploring those issues through art allows people to reframe the conversation about waste and the environment. Those are subjects we tend

to think of in a negative way, she says – “we shouldn’t be consuming so much, we shouldn’t be littering,” and so on and so on – but art allows her to frame the issues in a more positive way. Along the way, she’ll also be open to input from the public. Although the exact form and shape of her outreach has yet to be decided, Marineau notes there will be opportunities along the way for people to get involved in her work. Once Marineau’s residency finishes, the plan is for a series of artists to continue the role.That’s something Marineau finds exciting, noting that each artist will have their own vision

till now,” she says. “I want to amp it up to be a career path.” For New West residents, Marineau will be maintaining a blog as she works, chronicling her adventures in art at the engineering operations yard.You can follow along at www.mollydoesart. com/NewWest.

COLDEST NIGHT WHAT’S HAPPENING? The Seniors Services Society is raising funds to support hungry, hurting and homeless seniors through its annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk on Saturday, Feb. 24 at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr. Registration opens at 4 p.m., the opening ceremonies are at 5 p.m., the walk begins at 5:15 p.m. and registration closes at 6 p.m. A light meal will be served to all walkers and volunteers beginning at 6 p.m., with the route closing and meal service ending at 8 p.m.

Seniors Services Society, said the 2017 homelessness count in Metro Vancouver showed that 21 per cent of the homeless population is now people over the age of 55. “That is just huge,” Bloch said. “Seniors are fighting for very low vacancy rates, and they are fighting being on a fixed income. What’s happening is their incomes aren’t going up proportionately to the cost of living and their rental increases, so they are just being priced out of the market.”

HOW FAR WILL I WALK? A number of options are available, so you can walk two, five or 10 kilometres. Folks who may have physical limitations and still want to participate can take part via a short indoor route at River Market.

HOW CAN I HELP? People can support the Coldest Night of the Year by registering and taking part in the walk, volunteering at the event or donating to a walker or team. The Coldest Night of the Year walk is free for kids up to age 10, $25 (or raise a minimum of $75) for youth aged 11 to 17, and $25 (or raise a minimum of $150) for adults aged 18 and older. The registration fee rises to $40 on Monday, Feb. 19. All participants who pay the fee or raise the minimum will get a Coldest Night of the Year toque.

HOW IS THE SENIORS SERVICES SOCIETY INVOLVED IN HOMELESSNESS? As the only agency in Metro Vancouver that works exclusively with homeless and at-risk seniors, the society is familiar with the increasing number of seniors who are at risk of homelessness or are homeless. Kara-Leigh Bloch, executive director of the

WHAT’S THIS YEAR’S GOAL? Having raised $33,000 in 2017, the society’s goal is to raise $35,000 at this year’s

walk. It’s raising money for the homeless outreach program, which offers a full-time outreach worker who works specifically with seniors aged 60 and older who are homeless, streetentrenched, living in their car, a hotel or shelter, or at immediate risk of losing their current housing. “The outreach worker is basically tasked with stabilizing their health, stabilizing their finances and social supports, and then ultimately finding alternate long-term appropriate housing,” Bloch said. “It’s a big job.” Because of staff limitations, the society had to inform more than 600 at-risk seniors that the three full-time case workers’ caseloads were maxed out and they couldn’t provide them with any outreach services. TELL ME ABOUT THE SENIORS SERVICES SOCIETY: Working in partnership with all levels of government, community service organizations and local businesses, the New Westminster-based society offers a variety of programs to support seniors, including those who are struggling with poverty, isolation and homelessness in the Lower Mainland.

For your health: Healthy relationships are part of the spectrum of self-care. PHOTO PEXELS

Health is more than the absence of illness DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

How often do you think about your health? And when you do, how do you define it? Too often we think of health in a negative way (e.g. the absence of disease or illness). So if we’re perfectionistic, we may never think of ourselves as healthy; there’s always something wrong – an undesirable symptom or a condition that needs to be treated. This can lead to a negative approach to health care. Many patients only seek care when something is wrong. A family doctor’s schedule is full of patients, each with multiple problems to be diagnosed and treated. Now there’s nothing wrong with seeing healthcare professionals when you have a medical problem.We are trained to help you, and in fact, that’s our greatest gratification. But there’s a problem if individuals and health-care providers share a mindset that is only reactive. To maintain your future health, you need to be preventive and proactive. If

health-care providers and individuals work together identifying and managing the risk factors of disease early, we would prevent disease, identify conditions earlier and reduce the potential complications of those conditions. If both doctors and patients regularly took the long view and focused on the individual’s most important life goals and what one can do today to achieve them, imagine our potential for health and happiness. So health care isn’t something that’s done to you in response to problems that pop up.Who really is in charge and does the work of your health care?You! Self-care is the bulk of your health care. Professional health-care providers serve as your support in your own self-care. Self-care is what all of us are engaged in as individuals – the managing of acute and chronic health conditions and the prevention of illness and disease. Rather than just coping, it can be seen as nurturing our health. I think of the four foundations of self-care as: (1) healthy eating (or what you put into your body, including food, drugs and oth-

er substances); (2) healthy physical activity; (3) healthy relationships; and (4) emotional well-being. At a higher level, we can be engaged in self-actualization or self-mastery. In addition to coping with acute and chronic conditions and preventing illness, we foster emotional, physical, social and spiritual well-being to achieve our unique positive potentials. I believe we each have a positive potential in life. As individuals and as healthcare providers, our mission is to achieve our individual positive potentials and to help others achieve theirs. Health and wellness is much more than the absence of disease; health care, self-care and self-management is much more than the management of disease. I define health as the optimal balance of the important areas of your life – meeting both your personal challenges and goals in each sphere – based on what you value and where you find meaning to achieve your positive potential in life. For more on achieving your positive potential in life, check out davidicuswong.wordpress. com.

Vagabond Players Presents

OUR PAST

Fundraisers a go in 1888 Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

There were a couple of special events planned by two prominent local groups here in New Westminster toward the end of January 1888. One was for the Hyack Fire Brigade and the other a fundraiser for the building of the Holy Trinity Church bell tower. Let’s see how they turned out. The Hyack Fire Brigade (or Company) event was their annual ball which, in 1888, was to be held in the Herring Opera House. Tickets for this gala were $2 and could be obtained from the committee made up of Messrs.W.J. Corbett, R.Wintemute, and J. McMurphy.This was obviously a popular gathering, as the newspaper report of this social festivity pointed out that “about a hundred couples enjoyed the mazy dance and presented a very brilliant scene.” The evening presented a colourful scene made up of

the combination of gowns and uniforms. “The handsome dresses of the ladies, the bright red uniforms of the Hyacks, and the sashes of the various orders, all presented a bright and beautiful picture.” “The music was excellent as may be expected from Messrs. G. and W.Turnbull, J. McMurphy, J. Kelly and H.T. Read.” A supper prepared by Mrs. Eickhoff was included in the evening and the food was “plentiful and good.” The comments on this festive event point strongly to the fact that the Hyacks truly outdid themselves “and did much to credit the old-time reputation of the Hyacks.” The second event, also in the Opera House, was a “sale of work” in aid of the Holy Trinity bell tower fund. This event started at one o’clock in the afternoon, followed by a program of entertainment that began at 7:30 p.m. Admission to the evening’s presentation cost

50 cents, 25 cents for children and 25 cents for refreshments.The entertainment, put on by volunteers associated with the aims of the fundraising, was excellent and a “rare treat, the ladies and gentlemen who volunteered their assistance must have been fully satisfied by the plaudits that greeted their efforts.” The use of the Opera House for the afternoon “sale of work” caught some folks off guard, but the report noted that “though comparatively successful would have been even more so had the public been accustomed to look for bazaars in the Opera House. As the first of its kind in the new salon, the results give no grounds for dissatisfaction.” The whole thing from sale to program was a success: “Altogether this event has been gratifying for all concerned and we trust will add a snug sum to the Holy Trinity bell tower fund.”
