LET IT SNOW:
Last Friday’s snowy commute home was already forgotten by the time residents hit the slopes at Queen’s Park on Saturday to enjoy this (hopefully) last blast of winter weather. John Ingram, with four-year-old Maika and eight-year-old Leon, was among the many New West folks who turned out on the hill to enjoy scooting down the slopes on all manner of toboggans, saucers and crazy carpets. For more photos of the winter fun, see www. newwestrecord.ca. And for those who weren’t such a fan of the snow, we’re happy to report that no new snowfall is forecast for this weekend – it’s meant to stay clear and warm up to about 8C. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
THE CHANGING CITY
Carnarvon tower will have non-market rentals New Westminster city council will entertain a proposal for a mixed-use project on Carnarvon Street at an upcoming public hearing. Domus Homes is proposing to build a project that would include 204 market condominiums in a 32-storey building and 66 non-market rental units in an eight-storey
building, which would be linked by a threestorey podium, at 813 to 823 Carnarvon St.The development would also include atgrade commercial space facing Carnarvon Street. “Some of the key urban design things we are trying to achieve with this project really relate to the streetscape and the interaction with pedestrians on Carnarvon Street. There has been much discussion about the way Carnarvon Street feels right now, and
we think this project will help to improve that condition for pedestrians on the street,” said Richard Wittstock, a managing partner of Domus Homes. “We have a two- to three-storey podium, very human-scale, along Carnarvon Street, with ground-floor retail and restaurant space spilling out onto a public piazza on the corner.The southwest corner of the site should get the maximum natural light and be a great place for pedestrians to sit and relax and rest.”

Up Front VIRTUAL TOUR
On the hunt for heritage
LOOK AND LEARN:
A new digital walking tour developed by the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society showcases some of the homes featured in the past 38 years of its annual Heritage Homes Tour. Some residents recently tested out the app and viewed some of the homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood, but homes in various neighbourhoods are included on the tour.
Pull on your walking shoes, get your cellphone out and take a stroll by city’s heritage homes Theresa McManus

The charm and heritage of Royal City homes is being showcased in a new walking tour. The New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society has launched an online virtual walking tour featuring residences that have been showcased on Heritage Homes Tours during the past 38 years. The tour, which is accessible from a mobile device or computer, currently features write-ups and photos of 50 heritage homes, but houses are being added all the time. “The beauty of this is that it’s not just Queen’s Park.There are heritage houses all over New Westminster.This virtual tour covers those,” said Nancy O’Connor, a board member with the society. “When we are finished or up-todate, we will have about 200 houses on the site.” Each spring, the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society hosts the Heritage Home Tour, where owners of heritage homes open their doors to the public.This year’s tour is set for Sunday, May 27. “Its time has come,”
O’Connor said of the digital tour. “I think it opens it up to a whole lot more people who might be interested in actually going on a physical heritage homes tour, or at least finding out the history behind these houses.” Following a demonstration of the new walking tour app at its annual general meeting on Feb. 20, the society held a soft launch of the app on Feb. 25, giving people a chance to pull out cellphones, open the app and follow along as they toured some homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. “It works really well. People were impressed,” O’Connor said of the tour. “They were really impressed.You see a picture of the house and a little mini history.” People can access the tour through the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society’s website at www.newwestheritage.org.

council meeting. The walking tour, launched during Heritage Week 2018, is one of a number of new initiatives being considered by the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society. A refresh of the society’s website is being done this spring. “It will take our existing website and make it a bit more user-friendly,” O’Connor said. “It’s five years old. It’s been great, but if we want to go in a new direction where we are offering more and making it easier for people, well we have to go with the times, because a lot of changes have happened in the last five years.” Steve North, the society’s new president, is keen on expanding the society’s offerings to the community and utilizing the fount of information that exists within the society,
O’Connor said. “There’s lot of people out there I think who would like the information; maybe they’re not tour goers, and we’d like to go beyond the tour as an organization.This is the first step. The tools are there. It’s
now deciding on the best avenue to do this. Offering workshops? Offering special speaking sessions? Or maybe having small tours that are examples of craftsman houses – maybe there are five houses on a summer tour with a smaller group?”
she said. “It’s like any society – they have to evolve to what other people are expecting as well, not just stay with the same tried and true, because there is too much to offer.”
RETAIL POT SALES
Closing the door on cannabis – for now Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The City of New Westminster has temporarily closed the door on cannabis sales – but will soon welcome input on how it should be sold in the city. City council recently approved a zoning amendment bylaw that clarifies that the retail sale of non-
medical cannabis is currently unlawful in New Westminster. “The last thing we want to do is have some businesses that may not quite fit our regulations but slip in before we get those in place, and then we are stuck in a very awkward legal position,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said at a recent public hearing. “Tonight really is about
keeping the door closed at this point, but we fully acknowledge that legalization is going to be coming this summer and we want to make sure that we are prepared in early fall to make sure we have the regulations to allow retail sale of cannabis.” Cote said the zoning amendment bylaw is intended to close the gap and
ensure no cannabis retailers open before legalization occurs. He said the city will continue to work at creating a framework that is going to permit the retail sale of cannabis. “We do need to make sure that we get those regulations right and take the time to connect with different groups in the community to make sure we set that
up,” he said. The federal government is set to introduce a Cannabis Act by July 2018, which will allow Canadians to buy non-medical cannabis from retailers who’ve been authorized to sell the product. The city has been working on a framework for regulating cannabis, which addresses five areas that may fall under municipal juris-
diction: cannabis retail sales and consumption establishments; non-medical cannabis production facilities; business licensing regulating; public consumption; and personal cultivation. Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said the city will be doing public consultation in the next couple of months, Continued on page 10

City Carnarvon highrise gets approval
New homes: A proposed development on Carnarvon Street would provide affordable housing for seniors who have been involved in the performing arts, as well as market rentals in a separate highrise on the site. Council will consider the application following a March 5 public hearing. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Project would offer housing for veteran performing artists Continued from page 1 said. “We are really proud of the association with the arts that we can bring to this project.” Gary Glacken, executive director of PALVancouver, said the group’s mission is to provide members of the performing arts community with affordable housing in a vibrant and creative community setting. “We have an unmet demand right now of 100plus people right now on our waiting list who have been pre-qualified,” he said. “Many of those people are actually living in NewWestminster now.”
A mixed-use development has been given city council’s stamp of approval – at least four years after it was first proposed. Following a public hearing in council chambers on Jan. 29, New Westminster city council gave third reading to a bylaw that will allow a 33-storey mixed-use highrise development to be built at 618 Carnarvon St.The
development at the corner of Sixth and Carnarvon/ Clarkson streets will include 262 residential units, 5,665 square feet of at-grade commercial space, a 938-squarefoot pocket park at the corner of Sixth and Clarkson streets and 13 townhouse units and parking built atop the SkyTrain guideway, which will be enclosed in the vicinity of the project.
Following the public hearing, council unanimously supported third reading to a bylaw to rezone a number of properties at Sixth Street and Carnarvon and Clarkson streets to Comprehensive Development District (618 Carnarvon St.) When voting on the rezoning, council members stated the site is already
zoned for a highrise, and suggested a taller and narrower building is better for view retention for neighbours.They also supported the provision of amenities that will benefit the community and noted two- and three-bedroom units and townhouses are needed by families. – Theresa McManus

City Councillor wants city to consider ethical investing Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A New Westminster councillor is concerned the city’s investment policy may be at odds with some of the city’s values. Council recently received a staff report about proposed changes to the City of New Westminster’s investment policy. According to a staff report, the city’s practice is to hold most of its investments in the Municipal Finance Authority’s pooled investment funds. Coun. Patrick Johnstone expressed support for ethical investments and divestment in fossil fuels. He said the city has supported resolutions through the Union of B.C. Municipalities to the Municipal Finance Authority to provide options for divesting itself of investment in fossil fuels. “It hasn’t really gotten anywhere,” he said. “The Municipal Finance Authority, with whom we invest about $120-million, the bulk of

The right connection changes everything. In 2017, almost 400,000 people across the Lower Mainland lived better lives because of some exceptional local heroes. Thanks to over 500 workplace campaigns and more than 3,500 volunteers, United Way donors will again be making a real difference for children, families and seniors in 2018.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Shift to the left with something for everyone After half a generation of seemingly being suspended on the right, the pendulum of B.C.’s budgeting swung left this week. Some of the measures in the NDP’s budget are just common sense that was badly overdue: forcing transparency in home ownership, targeting speculators and money launderers, ensuring people pay the taxes the rest of us are required to. Others are more aggres-
sive social policies – $5.2 billion in spending, including $1.6 billion for housing and $1,200 monthly childcare subsidies for low-income families. And then there are health-care improvements, more teacher hires, boosts to skilled trades training and a freeze on B.C. Ferries fares. Some are describing it as something of a Robin Hood budget as most tax will come from those with the most wealth.
School taxes will be going up for homes valued over $3 million.The province is also raising the foreign buyers tax from 15 to 20 per cent and expanding it from Metro Vancouver to include the Fraser Valley, Greater Victoria, Nanaimo and the Central Okanagan Regional Districts. And, of course, there is that steep tax hike on luxury vehicles worth more than $150,000. The NDP is counting on
The NDP is counting on the fact that no one is going to start a GoFundMe page for luxury car owners ... the fact that no one is going to start a GoFundMe page for luxury car owners or wealthy home owners. And they’re right. The government estimates their new measures will bring in the billions in
revenues needed to pay for the rest of their growing social agenda. But those revenues could falter if these policies have their intended effect and knock some sense back into our housing market.
Now we watch and see. Response from critics has so far been frankly muted. No budget will please everyone, but it seems the NDP managed to deliver a tax-and-spend bill that will fix some major holes in the safety net without spending too much of their own political capital. Quite the coup indeed.
INBOX LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Who listens when residents speak?
Dear Editor: Last night during the advisory planning commission meeting at city hall, more than 150 residents voiced our opposition to the proposed development at 616-640 Sixth St., in person and through correspondence. The reply from the commission was oddly reminiscent of Justin Trudeau’s response to B.C.’s opposition to the Kinder-Morgan pipeline; we hear your concerns, but we know what is best for your community, so too bad. I hope any developer or city representatives opposing the pipeline can see the irony. I and many other residents have done our best wading through many bylaws, policies, and various other documents to ensure that our opposition is backed up by facts and logic. We are not anti-development; we are for fair and rational development. No one is going to argue that putting people near amenities is a bad idea. We will argue that densifying areas that are already near saturation, when there exist many streets with significantly less density nearby, is unfair and unreasonable. Why does a two-lane, one-block street with five residential towers and the largest mall in the city need a sixth tower’s traffic added on? We are tired of feeling like our voices are falling on deaf ears. We have pointed out a number of policies that this proposal is at odds with; we have 135 signatures on our petitions; we brought the biggest turnout to an advisory planning commission meeting in recent memory; and the vast majority of comments from past consultations were in opposition. Still the city and developer have yet to respond to our concerns beyond telling us that this is “density done right.” The
promised ongoing traffic study should be completed before we continue with this project. How many people do we need before our concerns are considered action-worthy? Or is it that we don’t have the support of the Uptown Business Association or local real-estate magnates? Indeed, they voiced their support, and it was heard loud and clear. I am very concerned that the city has its mind made up on this and is jumping through the required hoops out of necessity. The Woodward tower residents did not receive notification of the commission meeting until four days before. They did not receive notification of Orr Development’s open house on Jan. 31. No less than two city staff and one developer representative last night had the gall to tell us the traffic impacts will be “negligible.” I’ll leave it up to you to decide if a 37 to 41 per cent increase in peak-time traffic volume is indeed negligible. These facts do not illustrate an open, democratic and competently run consultation. The actions of Orr Development and the city are prime examples of why our society is wrought with lack of trust in politicians and businesses. I call on the city and Orr Development to act with the professionalism and integrity we expect of our government and businesses. Despite challenging odds, we will fight on.

Competing claim ‘rubbish’ Michael Sone, editor of a book on Burnaby’s pioneer history, put a couple New Westminster noses out of joint in August when he proposed Burnaby had better reason to call itself the Royal City than New West since Robert Burnaby was related to the royal family, while New West’s claims to fame were mere commoners: native sons Raymond Burr and Bruno Gerussi. Ald. Sandy Thompson called the claim “utter rubbish,” while New West historian Archie Miller said Sone was “grabbing at straws.” “Queen Victoria herself named us after her favourite part of London,” he said.

In the unfortunate event that a resident has greatly over-extended themselves and so exhausted these options, then they can no longer afford to live within the QPHCA. And so what then? Well, take a look at the growth of New Westminster’s communities that are outside of the QPHCA. There are plenty of more affordable options just minutes away, which do not require one to maintain a rather expensive home; and there is certain to be many potential buyers of the heritage property that will be happy to live in and maintain it properly. Perhaps members of the QPHCA should form a HOA to enforce proper maintenance and to provide a means of collectivising the burden of cost. Many of New Westminster’s residents reside within strata arrangements which operate in such a manner, and if maintaining the heritage look and feel of the neighbourhood is of such
Fireplaces aren’t the worst of city’s evils Dear Editor: To those of you who are saying that fire places are among the great evils of society, it’s time to get a life. How about we band together and stop the smoking of cigarettes, manly raspberry vape and the soon-to-be smoking of “legal” pot on the streets and other public places? Those three right there pose some of the great annoyances that waft through my window. Not to mention their potential health issues. How about noise of motorbikes and other purposely loud motor vehicles? Illegal left-hand turns into crowded crosswalks. Speeding. Or litterbugs. How about storefront owners who don’t clean up after their customers. People peeing and pooping in my back alley. Mass condo building. Lack of parks. Lack of educational support at all levels. Lack of green space … Most people who own a fireplace use it only a handful of times a month. Are fireplaces efficient? No. Should they be used during a low air-quality period? Likely not. New Westminster has many more issues to worry about before we start banning something as simple as a fireplace. Shawn Ridout, New Westminster

City Should vehicle charging stations be mandatory? Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
NewWestminster city council is charged up about the idea of including electric vehicle charging stations in new developments in the Royal City. Council has directed staff to review and report back to council on options to implement requirements for electric-vehicle charging in new developments. Mayor Jonathan Cote said a number of neighbouring municipalities, including Port Coquitlam and Richmond, have passed new by-
laws mandating that new developments have a certain number of electrical vehicle charging stations. Given NewWestminster’s urban location and the fact that the majority of new development will be in multi-family units, he said it’s something the city should address. “More and more as we move into the future, I think our vehicles are going to be more likely to be powered by electrification, but if residents don’t have access to be able to charge them, that could cause some serious challenges, particularly with multi-family units,”
Cote said. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said NewWestminster does lag somewhat behind on this issue, in part because the city may be overthinking what it needs to accomplish. “I really don’t believe that there is this need to go really high grade and put in expensive charging units for every parking spot. I think you can accommodate that quite easily by ensuring parking spots have access to electric plug-ins,” he said. “We are not putting a really onerous position forward to new buildings, but we are also making it so each
of these units have a simple 110-volt charging, which is absolutely adequate. If you
sleep overnight, your car will charge overnight. I think sometimes we overthink it
and we delay implementing things because we are trying to go too big.”

Closing the door on cannabis Continued from page 3 with a goal of presenting a final draft framework to council before the summer break. At the public hearing, longtime New Westminster resident Frank Wilson urged the city to consider adopting a bylaw similar to what’s been adopted by the City of Vancouver. As a security professional, he supports the majority of Vancouver’s bylaw. “I just feel very strongly that sometimes it’s better not to reinvent the wheel when it’s been properly made already,” he said. Ehren Richardson, vicepresident of the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries,
said the organization helped with the implementation of bylaws in Vancouver and Victoria. He said the association has learned some lessons along the way and would like to help New Westminster develop its bylaws. “I have been through the wringer.There is a lot to learn,” he said. “I am hoping that we can pass along some of that knowledge to you so the folks that set up shop here will ultimately have a much more effective and streamlined path to regulating access.” In the next couple of months, the city will conduct online surveys and host consultation events. Coun. Mary Trenta-
due believes New Westminster could really benefit by learning from other cities’ experiences and hearing from people and organizations that have been involved in the issue. “Council will be making decisions about things that are fairly new ground for us,” she said. “I think the more input we have the better decision we will be able to make and the less mistakes. I think that we don’t want to make mistakes about this particular plan.We also don’t want businesses to have to suffer through our mistakes. I would recommend that people contribute as much as possible.”

Thelma Siglos, CPA, CA, recently received the organization’s Distinguished Service Award. Siglos is a financial integrity consultant, specializing in forensic accounting investigations.

Community A night of classic rock supports hospice society The NewWestminster Hospice Society is raising funds for its future endeavours with a little help from its friends. This weekend’s Life Aid concert features musicians performing music by some of the most influential acts in rock, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and U2. Life Aid takes place on Saturday, March 3 from 8 to 11 p.m. at the Columbia Theatre, 530 Columbia St. “It’s raising funds for the hospice society, specifically to go forward with our Compassionate Cities program,” said Dale Darychuk, a member of the society’s board of directors. “That
is to train people to assist other people who are going though bereavement or are in that situation.” NewWest resident Michael Dunn has previously produced Great Gig in NewWest shows at venues around town. He said this weekend’s show has an ensemble cast featuring four outstanding vocalists: DiegoViramontes, JoshWyper, George T. Montebruno and Cathy St. Germain. In addition to supporting the hospice society, Darychuk said attendees will enjoy a great night out. “Musically, it’s going to be a wonderful night,” said Darychuk, who attended one of the Great Gig in
NewWest shows. “The one I went to at Anvil Centre, the music was terrific.Very accomplished instrumentalists and vocalists.” The NewWest Hospice Society has also partnered with the Arts Council of NewWestminster on an exhibition that aims to normalize conversation and messages about dying, death and grief. From Life to Death runs at the Anvil Centre Community Art Space from March 31 to June 1, with an official opening on April 5. See www.newwesthospice .ca.

Major university hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada.
Why participate in the hearing study?
Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the
need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.
If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study. * Pichora-Fuller, M. K. (2016). How social psychological factors may modulate auditory and cognitive functioning during listening. Ear and Hearing, 37, 92S-100S. † Study participants must be over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids. No fees and no purchase necessary.

National Institutes of Health. (2010).
It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Q A
Can I sleep in my dentures?
Denturists normally advise that you do not sleep in your dentures. Removing your dentures at night gives your gums and bone a chance to rest, relax, and breathe from the pressure of the denture during the day. If you have BRIAN KO remaining teeth on the opposing jaw to your dentures, your denturist may recommend that you keep your denture in at night to prevent damage. You should never wear your dentures 24 hours a day without preforming proper oral hygiene. Gently massaging your oral tissues after removing your denture helps to promote blood flow which in turn keeps your tissues healthy. Dentures should be cleaned at night and stored in water overnight night to keep the acrylic in the best shape possible and to prevent bacteria accumulation and growth.

Q A
How does my dental care change when I’m pregnant?
Some women experience gum inflammation (gingivitis), which causes bleeding upon brushing or flossing. This is due to hormone DR. AJAND NOBAHARI changes during pregnancy and is reversible. It is important that teeth and gums are well maintained through at-home oral care and in-office cleanings. Prevention is key and minimally invasive dental work is generally safe during pregnancy. If needed, treatment will be determined by the severity of the problem. Dental issues that are not urgent can wait until after birth or be treated during the 2nd trimester when risk of treatment is lowest. More acute issues like pain, swelling, or infection may need to be treated ASAP. Your overall health contributes to your baby’s overall health.

The opening weekend of Innovation Week was a hit – despite a massive dump of snow on the opening day. Innovation Week, which is being celebrated Feb. 23 to March 3, includes a wide variety of events for folks of all ages, many relating to this year’s theme of transportation.While attendance at the opening night reception on Feb. 23 was a bit low because of snow, those who made their way to city hall enjoyed an impressive digital performance. Despite the snow, only one team cancelled its participation in the annual hackathon, which was held at Anvil Centre on Saturday and Douglas College on Sunday. Judging the event were: Jesse Dougherty, general manager of Amazon Vancouver; Kurt Pregler, CIO for TransLink; Dave Teixiera, a member of the Douglas College board of directors; Mayor Jonathan Cote; and Lisa Leblanc, the city’s manager of transportation. Team Heartbreakers, who developed an innovative app that could allow users to better plan their trips using multi modes, took top spot in the hackathon, winning $750 cash and a mentorship pack valued at $4,000 from local business Terra Tap Technologies. “Amazon is proud to once again support the city’s Innovation Week and to sponsor Hack Our City,” said Dougherty. “This event brings together the New West community to think big about new ideas and to invent and simplify solutions to problems through the use of open data.We are very happy to be a part of the community in New Westminster and are excited to see what transportationthemed apps and projects come out of the hackathon at Douglas College.” You still have time to check out Innovation Week events including a Livable Cities event (today) and Inspiration Day and Pecha Kucha New West (March 3).

Trophy’s inspiration a Hyack story
Provincial wrestling hardware, currently residing in NewWest, has Royal City roots By Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
It’s an imposing trophy – a sculpture in ivory white of two male figures locked in battle. One of them is definitely winning. Over the past 45 years, this heavy piece of rock and wood is what B.C. high school wrestlers have been grappling for, an award presented to the best senior boys team at the provincial championships. The New Westminster Secondary Hyacks team enters this weekend’s meet as the two-time defending champions, and would like nothing more than to keep it at home. A home in more ways than one. What few knew until five years ago, was that the trophy’s origins are firmly cemented in the Royal City, too. New West senior Harvey Tuura said his impulsive idea in 1971 to buy and donate the sculpture, which was later mounted on a trophy base created by a Hyacks wrestler, was to inspire. “Well I was a classical scholar at UBC, and, when I saw it, I thought it applied to wrestling; it would be a way to promote wrestling,” said Harvey. “I was looking to promote wrestling as (our
family) had three boys and three girls. … That’s a copy of a Roman trophy that is a copy of the Greek trophy. I can’t trace it any further than that.” It’s origins aren’t nearly as important to the story as that inspiration. The Tuura family – especially the three boys – were deeply entrenched in wrestling at NWSS. On a summer trip down to California in 1971, the Tuuras had anything but school on their minds, after another successful wrestling win by the hometown Hyacks – or so most of the family thought. Once Harvey saw the sculpture in a storefront window at their Disneyland hotel, he saw an impressionable prize – and darn the cost. “(Dad) saw it in the hotel lobby, and he bought it there and blew our budget on that,” recalled Mark Tuura last month as the current Hyacks team met with members from the early ‘70s squad. “My mom freaked out. That trophy was $300 back in ’71.” The family of eight – with three sons and three daughters – made room in the family station wagon for the hefty model and brought it north. When the elder Tuura showed it to then-NWSS teacher and
wrestling coach Barry Callaghan, the idea was molded to present it as the goal for every high school boys team. Callaghan had already seen the program grow and establish itself as a mat heavyweight with B.C. crowns in 1969 and ’70.That string would continue – although they’d win the provincial team championship just once more in 1974 – with the Tuura boys a big

part of that. Ivan, who like Mark would go on to play for the New West senior Salmonbellies, came first and won four annual B.C. division titles. He was followed by Mark and Leif, each winning their share of provincial gold. Callaghan, who retired a number of years ago but remains in contact with many from the old wrestling team, said it was a process but he had the support of the school and the parents. “We worked hard.We use
to run 50 sets of stairs in the Massey gym before practice started, and it got pretty intense in here.They might have grumbled early on, but they could see, ‘Hey, this hard work is paying off,’” said Callaghan. “If it wasn’t for Callaghan, there wouldn’t be a trophy.You can print that for the world to see,” said Harvey, 90. Mark notes, however, his dad’s eagle eye and decision to purchase the statue was equally inspired and incredible. “I was doing the (budget) on the trip, writing everything down to keep track of the gas so I knew the price. (Dad) blew the budget in one whack, but like he said it’s the best money he’s ever spent.” As current Hyacks coach Gord Sturrock notes, the prize’s design is less Roman than Greek, and a scene more of the pankration form than wrestling. One of the figures is about to submit to defeat.The victor, one arm extended and the other twisting his opponent’s wrist as though to inspire an ‘uncle’ surrender, is chiselled like a modern-day movie superhero.The extended arm has been repaired at least once after snapping off in a time of celebration. No matter its original design, Continued on page 10

Led by second-year right side Vania Oliveira, Douglas delivered a firm rebuke to its top rival by scores of 25-20, 25-12 25-20, locking up the top provincial berth to next week’s national championships in Grande Prairie, Alta. “I think it’s part of the experience – our team really became stronger together about half-way through the semester, in a game against VIU,” noted co-captain and libero Claudia Corneil. “We know what we were up against and really it was for us to dictate and control our game.” Oliveira, a native of Brazil, mashed a match-high of 11 kills in the decisive match, while Vicki Schley counted 10 and Caet McCorkell drove home nine. Providing some memory-induced inspiration was the fact VIU handed Douglas a similar defeat one year ago. “Last year we were a little unfortunate as there was just one team (from the finals) that advanced to the nationals,” said Royals coach Jeff Ross. “The players kind of took that and used it, so it was a little bit of redemption.” Having posted the league-best record at 21-3, Douglas earned a bye into the semifinals, where they met Capilano University. While they slipped in the opening game, falling 18-25, the New West team responded as the No. 1-ranked squad in Canada with three straight wins (25-13, 25-14, 25-18). “It had to do more with nerves. Capilano had already played and we were still settling in. But once that set was over we just rocked and rolled after that,” added Ross. Picking up the tourney MVP award was Oliveira. Earning all-star honours were setter Jane Kepler and Schley. The Royals will play the host Grande Prairie Wolves on Wednesday. MEN RISE TO REPEAT FOR BRONZE The Douglas College Royals men’s volleyball team emerged from the PacWest championships as bronze medallists, thanks to a 3-1 victory over Capilano University. Outside hitters Reid Marriott and Justin Faester helped the Royals take control of a 1-1 game, with Faester picking up Man of the Match honours. Marriott was named an all-star.

Schultz builds steam heading to NCAA finals
Momentum could be Nina Schultz’s middle name. The New Westminster native will head into the NCAA national indoor track and field championships next week in Texas with a bunch of it. Coming off a strong month in competition, Schultz will aim to keep the good results coming. Last week in Iowa, the sophomore captured the Big 12 High Point Award for the second time in her college career, leading her Kansas State University Wildcats to the podium. After placing second in the long jump, Schultz nailed a personal best in the high jump with a jump of 1.85 metres, exceeding her previous best of 1.82m. Minutes later, she placed fourth in the 60m hurdles with an NCAA qualifying time of 8.27 seconds. “I think the biggest battle is always
mental.We are physically prepared to come and do well,” Schultz told a KSU reporter. “Overcoming mental barriers is always a tough thing to do, but I was prepared to push myself.” Now, the one-time B.C. high school track and field champion and New West Spartans product will line up to compete in the pentathlon at the NCAA championships, beginning March 9. Her score of 4,502 points three weeks ago at the Texas Tech Shootout was an NCAA-best total and personal best, and ranked seventh all-time in Div. 1 history. “I am hoping to just go in and improve on my score from earlier this year. I do not like to go into competition worrying about placing so I think if I execute my events I will be able to place pretty well,” the 18-year-old said. A year ago, Schultz placed third at the indoor championships.
New West trophy a coveted prize Continued from page 21 the modern inspiration continues to work. “When you go to the B.C. wrestling championships, the kids all hang around it looking at it,” said Harvey, who presented it and revealed the story behind
his anonymous donation five years ago. “That’s the part that makes me really happy. I achieved exactly what, unlike some ideas that pop in your head, what I wanted, which was to promote wrestling.You see the kids looking at it, you know the kids want it.”

Hyack girls on provincial stop
By the time you read this, the New Westminster senior girls will either be building momentum as a quarterfinalist, or looking for some bounce back. The basketball squad is
competing this week at the provincial championships at the Langley Events Centre. They opened up Wedenesday against Semiahmoo (after the Record’s deadline), with a win catapulting them into to-
day’s quarter-final at noon. To follow the Hyacks journey at the championships, go to http://bit.ly/2GNNRIn, or at www.bchighschoolbasketballchampionships.com.

THOMPSON, Thora “Amma” Kapitola Amma was our sunshine. She sang “I was born about ten thousand years ago, there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know”. She was extraordinary, she was a cheeky monkey, we adored her.
WALK−IN CLINIC Central Park Medical Clinic is pleased to announce that we now offer walk− in/same day appointment available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm starting March 5, 2018. 104−3965 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 1Y8 Telephone#: 604−434−8781
She loved to sing, dance, have fun and eat chocolate but every day she made sure she made someone else’s day a little brighter. She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Janet, Diane and Karen, her “precious little darlings” Patricia (granddaughter) and Christopher (grandson) and very close cousins, nephews and nieces. Amma was predeceased much too early by her beloved husband Murdo Thompson and son-in-law Doug Webb, and outlived many close friends and relatives including her dear friend and sister-in-law Katie McAskill. Amma was of proud Icelandic decent and born on December 15, 1924 in Lundar, Manitoba. She often told people she was named after Thor, the God of Thunder. She grew up in Lundar, as a strong prairie woman, and moved to Winnipeg and then Vancouver in 1953 where she met and married Murdo. They made their home in North Burnaby. She spent her last days at Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby where she had volunteered for decades and where her name is on wall for her years of service. She had been Burnaby’s Star Volunteer more than once. Amma resonated selflessness, compassion and kindness with a twinkle in her eye and a heavy dose of mischief. She turned strangers into friends and even when over ninety with a failing memory, reached out to others and was a warm and engaging conversationalist with a great sense of humour. You will always be in our hearts and in our pockets. Amma always wanted to “put up a party” and that is what we will do for her. A Celebration of Life will be held on March 3 at 2 p.m. at First Lutheran Church 5745 Wales, Vancouver. Please wear something blue. Dance party to follow at Karen’s.
