CRIME

Charges laid in $300,000 city drug bust By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Nearly a year after police seized a cache of drugs and weapons from locations in New West and Surrey, charges have now been laid against six people connected to the investigation. The investigation that led to the seizures began more than a year ago when the New Westminster Police Department’s street crime unit started looking into drug dealing operations in the city. Several months later,

local police, along with other agencies, executed several search warrants at locations in New West and Surrey. The searches turned up an undisclosed amount of heroine containing lethal levels of fentanyl and pure fentanyl.The estimated street value of the drugs was $300,000, New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott said at the time. Police also seized firearms, including assault rifles, a shot gun and a sawed-off shot gun, and replica firearms were also taken during the searches, as well as a number of

vehicles. On Wednesday, Scott announced six people had been charged in connection with the investigation. Charges range from drug trafficking and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking to possession of a firearm. Charged are Surrey residents Neil Naidu, 31; Manisha Lidhar, 25; Pahul Lidhar, 20;Tyler Sandhu, 28; Eric Hanif, 32; and Chilliwack resident Matthew Sharafi, 24. Naidu remains in custody until his next court appearance.The remaining accused

have been released until an upcoming court appearance. “These kinds of investigations take a lot of experience and expertise from detectives, and our street crime unit along with our partnering agencies have successfully recommended multiple drug offence charges,” Scott said in a press release. “We take these offences very seriously, which is why our street crime unit has devoted the time and energy to stop drug dealers from profiting in our city.”

Up Front EDUCATION

McBride to be razed Seismically unsafe school will be completely replaced by 2021 By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

It was an emotional day for parents at Richard McBride Elementary School. Education Minister Rob Fleming was at the school Friday to announce that the 89-year-old school would be replaced by a brand new, $22.6-million school, set to open January 2021. “It’s about time,” said Jen Arbo, vice-chair of the McBride parent advisory council (PAC). Arbo, along with the entire McBride PAC, have been advocating for a new Richard McBride for several years.The school was built in 1929 after a fire destroyed the original school. It has the highest seismic rating – H1 – meaning in the event of an earthquake it has the highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure. It would be irreparable after such a disaster. “We know if an earth-

quake hits, our students and our school communities have to be safe and I know that McBride and the New Westminster school district had, for a long time, been asking me for the attention of the provincial government to make this building safe,” Fleming announced to parents, staff and students gathered at McBride Friday morning. “It’s exciting, it’s overdue,” Arbo said after the announcement. “I think it’s really nice to feel heard as a parent and a community.” Arbo’s son is in Grade 4 at Richard McBride, and by the time it opens in January 2021, he will be in middle school. But that’s OK, she told the Record. “Schools are a community asset. I vote here. I’ve had indoor soccer practice. I’ve come here for multiple reasons that have nothing to do with my kid being in school here. Continued on page 6

NEW SCHOOL PLANS

Open house reveals more NWSS details By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Curious parents and residents dropped by an open house on Saturday to get a glimpse of what the new high school will look like once it’s built. The open house was the last of two events planned for the final round of community consultation for the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project. Renderings show a 215,000-square-foot school divided into three levels that will include at least 56 classrooms, a 280-seat theatre, seven collaborative learn-

ing spaces, three outdoor spaces, a three-court gym, a Wellness Centre and a Friendship Centre. There will also be bike lanes surrounding the school that connect to the City of New Westminster’s existing infrastructure and bike racks and storage for 200 bikes. Pick-up and drop-off locations will likely be at Sixth Street and Eighth Avenue and there is a proposal to install a new traffic light on Eighth Avenue mid-block between Eight and Sixth streets (by the Moody Park arena and Massey Theatre). The open house was part of the final round of pub-

lic consultation for the new high school project.The community has until March 15 (today) to provide feedback on three main components: outdoor spaces, pedestrian cyclist access and pick-up and drop-off areas. Construction on the project is expected to be complete in spring 2020. It will officially open to students in September 2020.The new school will be home to 1,900 students from Grade 9 to 12. Kirk and Co., a Vancouver-based communications and consulting firm, is leading the consultations and will have a report ready for the school district by this

City Tweedsmuir gets seismic funding Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Staff at École Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary School breathed a sigh of relief last week after the province announced the school would receive funding for much-needed seismic upgrades. At a press conference on March 9, the Ministry of Education announced it is giving the school district $6.1 million to fund repairs to Lord Tweedsmuir as part of the ministry’s seismic mitigation program. “I’m so thrilled to be here today to share in the excitement to discover that Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary School will benefit from a major seismic upgrade. We’re all very grateful to know that safety is a priority, and we welcome the news,” Tweedsmuir vice-principal

Debbie Ramen said at the event. The school was built in 1936, with an additional classroom block added in 1943, and is the school district’s number 2 priority when it comes to seismic projects (Richard McBride is number 1). The original portion of the school, including the gymnasium, has a H2 seismic rating and is at high risk of damage or structural failure if there was an earthquake. It would likely not be reparable after an incident, according to the province’s seismic mitigation program. “While many of us appreciate the many aspects of our 81-year-old building, it’s also exciting to know that with the upgrade addressing structural risks in our gymnasium and classroom block there will come a very welcome facelift,” Ramen said.

We’re all very grateful … that safety is a priority Six portables will be brought in to accommodate students while the school is upgraded. Construction is expected to start this summer and repairs should be

completed by fall 2020, according to the ministry. Last year, the school district received nearly $1.3 million from the Ministry of Education to conduct mechanical upgrades and roof repairs/replacement at the school.The funding was allocated under the ministry’s school enhancement fund, with the district contributing $230,000 from its annual facilities grant.

City

Athletes call for third arena Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Lacrosse, ringette and hockey players are urging city council to construct a third rink in the Royal City as soon as possible. Better practice and game times, more access to public skating and increased opportunities for local sports groups to host tournaments are cited as benefits associated with a new ice sheet in New West. Sydney Christiansen, a 13-year-old ringette player in the Burnaby New Westminster Ringette Association, said a new arena would help attract more young athletes in New West to the sport of ringette. She said some ringette teams currently have to share ice for practices and some have to travel to Burnaby for practices, which can be problematic, especially for people who live in Queensborough. Tyson Nielson, a player with the New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association, said a new arena would cre-

ate new opportunities for local lacrosse players. “Most of our tryouts are in Burnaby. Most of our players have to skip school to get to them,” he said. “This could be resolved with a new arena in New Westminster.” Nielson said a third arena would provide more flexibility of floor times for practices and games and help the youngest lacrosse players whose games must be played at outdoor lacrosse boxes. “In the spring, their games can be rained out mostly,” he told council. “A new arena would make sure these kids could play their whole year without having it rained out, so they could get their fair share of floor time and not always have to deal with the weather.” Colburne Connolly, 13, said players with the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association would benefit from a third ice sheet as it would provide opportunities for more development camps in the summer. He noted New West kids cur-

rently compete against associations that have yearround access to ice. “We could also have more time for development throughout the whole year with more access to ice times,” he said. “If we have another sheet of ice, our practices might not have to be so early – like 5:30 a.m. That makes it really tough to go to school and be awake all day.” Because of the limited ice time in New West, Connolly said some families have left the New Westminster league to join private hockey clubs so they have better practice times. “Those are the lucky ones whose parents can afford it,” he said. “A lot of kids don’t even get the chance to play because their parents can’t make the schedule work or can’t afford to go to private clubs.” Last fall, more than 500 people signed an online petition spearheaded by New West resident Daniel Fontaine calling on city council to put the issue of a new arena on the ballot in Octo-

ber’s civic election. Fontaine said local sports groups subsequently made a presentation to the parks and recreation committee, where they made a “compelling case” for why a new arena shouldn’t be buried in a 20-year planning document and should be accelerated. With the city’s official community plan calling for thousands of new residents in the coming years, he said more and more people will be using the city’s arenas and recreation facilities. “This will be adding even more pressure on the existing buildings that are running at maximum capacity,” he said. “In my opinion, you simply can’t add all these people without having a proper plan to ensure they have recreational facilities as well.” Bernie Lehman, vicepresident of New Westminster Minor Hockey Association, said there’s a “real need” for an expansion to Queen’s Park Arena. Council referred the matter to staff for a report.

Opinion OUR VIEW

No more talk – let’s just let 16-year-olds vote Premier John Horgan says he’s going to look at a proposal to allow 16-yearolds to vote and “see if it fits.” Well the suggestion has our vote. As Andrew Weaver, leader of the B.C. Green Party, pointed out, political parties tend to build their party platforms on who turns out to vote. “When we look at election campaigns right now, most people typically cam-

paign to the demographic they know that will vote. Which is the 65-to-74 (age group), 75 per cent of them turn out.That’s why we hear campaign promises to reduce hip and knee replacement lineups, frankly, because it’s targeting a demographic.” He’s absolutely correct. Advocate organizations such as Generation Squeeze have been pointing out for years that societal problems that are impacting young-

... the reality is that the system is biased toward the older voter and it shows in a myriad of ways ... er generations, such as the lack of affordable housing, have been shunted to the backburner as older voters’ needs or wants are addressed. And, yes, we know many older voters certainly don’t feel like their wants

are always addressed, but the reality is that the system is biased toward the older voter and it shows in a myriad of government policies. It makes perfect sense to have 16-year-olds vote who are inheriting, in many

ways, a system built on sustaining an imbalanced status quo. Will this mean politics will be turned on its head? No, probably not. Apathy exists across generations, and we suspect it will take decades before the number of young voters actually correct the age imbalance. But, engaging young people in the democratic process will have side benefits. It will offer them a sense of

engagement and empowerment that is currently lacking. It will also recognize that just because you’re young doesn’t mean that your opinions and commitments are of less value than someone who is older. It will also, potentially, allow older voters a chance to truly hear what younger voters think. It’s a good thing. Let’s just do it.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Politics plays out at the gas pump Don’t look now, but the cost to fill up your car at the pump may eventually be tied to next year’s provincial election in Alberta. That’s because Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has doubled down and has matched her chief political rival in the jingoistic sweepstakes over the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. United Conservative leader Jason Kenney has been saying for months that if elected premier (a very real possibility) his government would reduce, or even completely ban, oil shipments to British Columbia if the B.C. government were to attempt to halt the pipeline project. Last week, in a move that seemed to stun the B.C. NDP government, Notley’s government made the same promise in its throne speech.That speech was unusually stinging in its characterization of the B.C. government’s position on the pipeline project and warned in no uncertain terms that the Alberta government is prepared to get rough. The speech proudly mentioned that the Alberta government won the “wine war” with B.C. and several times referred to B.C. acting “illegally” when it came to the pipeline. Notley says her government is preparing legislation, to be tabled fairly soon, that will lay out a plan to reduce oil shipments from the province.That throne speech evoked memories of former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, who limited oil shipments to the East in

response to the federal government’s National Energy Program. Lougheed won that battle (as have two other Alberta premiers over the years), and the federal government eventually backed off from trying to grab much of Alberta’s oil and gas revenues. Clearly, both Notley and Kenney think they can win a similar fight with B.C. The throne speech, after mentioning Lougheed’s legislation, offered this threat: “We will not hesitate to invoke similar legislation if it becomes necessary, owing to extreme and illegal actions on the part of the B.C. government to stop the pipeline.” It is not entirely clear whether Alberta is on firm legal ground. Section 92(A) of the Constitution clearly gives provinces the right to control the export of their non-renewable resources such as oil and gas, but it also stipulates that any such action “may not authorize or provide for discrimination in prices or in supplies exported to another part of Canada.” However, any move by Alberta to restrict oil shipments could quickly wreak economic havoc in B.C. while the courts sort out the jurisdictional arguments. Drivers in Metro Vancouver recently got a taste of what a decrease of oil supplies can do to the price at the pump. Prices jumped to around $1.50 a litre after the Parkland (formerly Chevron) refinery in Burnaby shut down for a few Continued on page 9

Opinion Let me keep my fireplace and I’ll give up the car Dear Editor: Regarding this fireplace debate, I have a suggestion for the city. Why not ask people to choose which emissions-producing property they are willing to part with to promote better air quality? No, I’m serious. Call it nostalgic, but I would rather give up my car than my wood-burning fireplace. The former was a recent purchase since the SkyTrain has become uncomfortably crowded during peak hours and I wanted a less anxiety-ridden commute to my Vancouver workplace. The latter was a major selling feature when I bought this condo seven years ago and remains a source of holiday enjoyment. Surely it’s more reasonable to rid the streets of a vehicle than it would be for me to potentially retrofit or convert to electric, and probably damage the custom mason and woodwork that now highlights a cherished home feature that we use four to six times a year. Just show me where to sign and I’ll brave the SkyTrain again. Michelle Hancock, New Westminster

Politics at the pump

Continued from page 8

weeks for maintenance. About 60 to 70 per cent of all petroleum products used in Metro Vancouver are delivered through the existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which originates near Edmonton. Energy analysts think the price at the

pump could easily jump to a mind-boggling $3 a litre in a fairly short period if Alberta deploys its nuclear option. And prices could increase quite quickly and dramatically if any prolonged supply problem takes hold. Now, the threats coming from Notley and Kenney are, for now, just that: threats.The B.C. government hasn’t actually done anything concrete – yet – to block the project, other than preparing a reference court case on whether it has the power to in some way regulate what flows through the pipeline. That is one of the arguments offered by Environment Minister George Heyman in response to Notley’s threat.That, and that he doesn’t think she will actually take any action. I think Notley is content to let the threat linger for a while before actually carrying through on it. But as that election draws closer, Notley will need to be seen as fighting for Alberta’s interests. There’s no question that limiting oil shipments would play extremely well with the Alberta electorate, and British Columbians would suddenly become very familiar with the implications of an oil shortage. And if gas prices skyrocket because Alberta turns off the tap, you can be sure the debate over the Kinder Morgan project will shift from tanker traffic and pipeline spills to an old-fashioned consumer argument about what it costs to fill up the car. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

City

Citizens group working on future of May Day Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

While May Day is safe for 2018, a group of local residents is committed to doing what it can to protect the tradition for years to come. Rocky Suffron, Nikki Binns and Lisa Graham have formed a Citizens May Day Focus Group, with a goal of exploring what May Day could look like in the years ahead and determining who is responsible for various aspects of the event. “Basically we want to ensure May Day doesn’t die,” Graham told the Record. Last fall, the school dis-

trict’s May Day task force surveyed 203 district employees and found there is “little general support” for May Day and “meagre support” for the Royal Suite. Along with recommending May Day remain school-based celebrations for 2018 and 2019, the task force recommended the district discontinue the practice of selecting a Royal Suite and that the board support transferring responsibility for the Royal Suite to a community organization. A subsequent survey completed by 789 parents, residents, non-residents, students and others found

There is so much interest. … I get a ton of people saying: What can I do? Can I come? Are there meetings? people were split on the task force’s recommendations: 47 per cent agreed responsibility for the celebration should be transferred to community organizers, 45 per cent disagreed and nine per cent were undecided. Feedback on the Royal Suite was similarly divided. The citizens’ group is currently gathering information to try to determine who

is responsible for the various pieces of the May Day celebration and assess the financial requirements of putting on the event. “Once you have an idea of where we are currently at, you know where we can go next,” Graham said. “It makes it easier to put together a roadmap for future ideas and decisions and things like that.”

Currently, the City of NewWestminster, the New Westminster school district and the Hyack Festival Association all have roles in the May Day event and contribute funds to various components of it. Members of the citizens’ group have met with the mayor and the interim school superintendent, but are hoping to line up meetings with Hyack and the school board. “It absolutely begs cooperation to achieve it,” Graham said. “It was the school district’s own idea that the community pick it up.We have got to have information.”

Along with the three executive members, the citizen’s group has a “mini caucus” of about 15 people and has been approached by many other folks seeking information and wanting to get involved, Graham said. “We haven’t even put anything out.This is just through word of mouth,” Graham said. “There is so much interest. I have 15 already super committed. I get a ton of people saying: What can I do? Can I come? Are there meetings? My answer is not yet, we have got time. It’s not like we are rushed to get this achieved for this May Day.”

Royal Suite coordinator Karen Baker-MacGrotty said generations of Royal City citizens have en-

sured New Westminster’s May Day tradition continued through good times and hard times, including the Great Depression and two world wars. “This annual celebration has been enjoyed, we calculate, by hundreds of thousands of participants and spectators throughout those years,” she said. “May Day has evolved along the way and new things introduced, changes of venue and various activities to reflect the times, yet, when you look back, the essence of the day, the core fundamentals and the traditional components remain relatively un-

said May Day began in 1870, when the city was no longer the capital, the gold rush was over and the city was deeply in debt. “The population plunged to only 500 people, and the city’s future wasn’t looking so bright at that point in time,” he said of the impetus for the celebration. “It was during this low point in the city’s history that a group of local citizens organized New Westminster’s first May Day to cheer the city’s disheartened residents up.There was a parade, games, sports, a free lunch and, of course, the city’s first maypole dance.That was al-

News ‘Suspicious circumstance’ brings cops to Moody Park Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Police officers were at Lord Kelvin Elementary School Tuesday morning to reassure families they aren’t at risk after a suspicious incident the day before. Monday afternoon at around 4 p.m., NewWestminster officers were dispatched to the area around 10th Street and Fifth Avenue following a report of a “suspicious circumstance” involving a white van, according to a police press release.

The report said the van was “accelerating quickly in the area, leaving tire marks,” according to NewWestminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott. “At the time, it was unclear if there was a criminal offence or if it was a vehicle stunting. Because it was unclear what had happened, we closed the road to capture the roadway evidence,” he wrote in an email to the Record. Investigators spoke to witnesses and collected video evidence.They have since determined no criminal of-

fence took place and there was no threat to public safety, Scott added. “Some social media posts seemed to exaggerate on what had happened, and we want to clarify any misinformation that may be circulating,” Scott said. On Tuesday, school liaison officers were at Lord Kelvin to speak with parents and kids about the incident. “We wanted to provide an opportunity for any concerned parents to ask us questions, and for us to reassure them of their family’s safety,” Scott said.

Police impound speeder’s car A young driver had his car impounded in February after he was caught going more than double the posted speed limit along Brunette Avenue. New Westminster police officers recorded the driver going 123 km/h along Brunette Avenue in a 50

km/h zone.The driver had his novice licence and had two passengers with him in the car when he was pulled over, according to New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott. “These were highway speeds on city streets, which

is extremely dangerous and puts everyone at risk. Speed is a major factor in collisions, and is an easy thing to eliminate: just slow down,” Scott said. The driver was issued a $483 ticket and his car was impounded. – Cayley Dobie

EXPLORE THE FRASER RIVER ON SPRING BREAK Kids can journey through the Fraser during spring break at Fraser River Discovery Centre. The centre’s spring break 2018 event takes children aged two to 12 on a journey into the past, by making daily “stops” along different places Simon Fraser visited during his journey down the Mighty Fraser. During the week and on Saturday, kids will be given a Passport to the Past booklet that lists daily activities, games, films and exhibits to check out for the day. Day 1 (March 20) features a look at Prince George, with subject days looking at Quesnel (March 21),Williams Lake (March 22) and the Lower Mainland (March 23).This all leads up to the big event on Saturday, March 24, which will be a combination of the

The program, being offered on Tuesdays from 10 to 11 a.m., is free with admission to the centre, and registration isn’t necessary.

Catch Grammy Award winner in Friday night performance The Up Close Recital Society is kicking off 2018 with a performance by Grammy Award-winning mandolinist John Reischman and the Pine Siskins. Reischman is set to take to the stage on Friday, March 16 at 8 p.m. in a show at Centennial Lodge, Queen’s Park. Reischman, regarded as one of the premier mandolinists of his generation, swings between reinventions of traditional old-time tunes, deconstructions from bluegrass repertoire and compelling original tunes. “Most of all, he’s an understated visionary, the kind of master craftsman whose music is virtuosic without ever being flashy and who is renowned for his impeccable taste and tone as an artist,” a press release says. “John Reischman embodies the true spirit of acoustic music in the 21st century.” Reischman is joined by the Pine Siskins, a group of world-class instrumentalists that includes Trent Freeman on fiddle, Eli West on guitar and Patrick Metzger on bass. The John Reischman performance is the first of four planned recitals in 2018. Coming up on May 31 is Waxwing, featuring Peggy Lee on cello, John Bentley on saxophone and TonyWilson on guitar, at Old Crow Coffee. On Oct. 10, guitarist Itemar Erez and Hamin Honari on percussion will perform at Centennial Lodge. On Nov. 29, pianist John Stetch is set to perform at Old Crow Coffee.

Canadian play gets a contemporary makeover Isobel’s journey resonates more to me with the status of Indigenous people …

Commission and the Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls,” Fogal said in a press release. “Isobel’s journey resonates more to me with the status of Indigenous people in Canada and the long oppression, the long silencing and ig-

noring.” Before casting the play, Fogal reached out to Thompson to ensure the playwright supported her take, and Thompson’s response was “absolutely.” Fogal also consulted with Natalie Knight, an Indigenous instructor at the college, and with actor Kayla Krishna, who plays Isobel.The production has also received support from local First Nations elders. The play also includes student actors Etella Keenan, Madison Severyn, Marina Cindrich, Emma Davis, Amanda Dinelle, Meghan Hallam, Leah Lueneberg, Dani Brekke, Christian van Geyn and Alex van Geyn. It also includes alumni Christian Krushel and Ian Duck. Tickets are $20 general, or $10 for seniors, students, matinees and Talkback Tuesdays. Buy at lionin thestreets2018.bpt.me.

The European chafer, first discovered in New West in 2001, is destructive to lawns and boulevards because the chafer grubs feed on the roots of grasses at certain times of the year and skunks, birds and other creatures dig up the grass to feed on grubs in the fall and winter. Each spring, the city offers a subsidy program for the purchase of nematodes, which are applied to lawns where the chafer has been found. Nematodes are microscopic worms that attack the chafer grubs. “This is a longstanding program that we have had in place for many years,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

“It’s unfortunate. It did look like the issue was getting a little bit better a few years ago, but the last couple of years we certainly have seen increased participation in the program. Anecdotally, looking around the community I have noticed a lot more yards struggling with this issue as well. I think it’s a worthwhile program for the city to continue to be able to support.” Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said the presence of the European chafer in the region appears to have originated in New Westminster. He said the city started the nematode subsidy program in response to an outcry from residents. “That program has been continued since 2008. Our usage statistics will show anecdotally that the prevalence and impact of the chafer in our community has ebbed and flowed through the years,” he said. “It was in a bit of a downturn back

as recently as 2013/2014, where as staff we were gearing up for actually suggesting the program be suspended, but then suddenly the chafer took a bit of a resurgence and its impact became again more prevalent within the community, and the subscription rate to the subsidized program also increased.” The city has a $10,000 budget for the annual subsidy program, which provides 250 packages of nematodes to residents. Residents receive a 50 per cent discount on the purchase of nematodes, to a maximum of two packages per home, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Starting March 16, single-family residents can pre-order subsidized or full price nematodes packages through Garden Works at Mandeville or GardenWorks at Lougheed. They won’t be available for pickup until June or July. For more information, visit www.newwestcity.ca.

New West biz helps non-proﬁts access grants Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A New West-based software company is helping non-profits across Canada to access much-needed funding from various sources. Incorporated in 2015, Grant Advance Solutions, which has an office on Columbia Street, has nearly 800 clients across Canada, including more than 200 in B.C. “Grant Advance provides grant funding research and writing tools,” said Guy McPherson, co-founder and CEO of Grant Advance Solutions Inc. “It’s a software service. Our clients subscribe to our service. They basically do a monthly payment to access our software.” Using a complex but easy-to-use search engine, McPherson said the service helps non-profits find good matches for funding partnerships, such as grant foundations and charitable trusts. “We scratched an itch that was needed,” he said of the company’s growth. “When people have seen what we have to offer, whether they buy it or not – they just go, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing, I didn’t even know anything like this existed.’We have had a re-

ally incredible positive response from the non-profit sector.” McPherson said the company is committed to working with clients to help them master the software and coach them if they encounter any problems. “We are really committed to making sure this is a winwin-win, both for the company and our staff and certainly our clients,” he said. “It’s the non-profit world – we don’t want to be making money on their backs. We want to help them to get more money to do the amazing stuff they do.” Grant Advance Solutions is offering a corporate social responsibility award and will be partnering with one new Canadian charity each month, by providing one year of free access to its fund-developing software. “We are not simply providing free memberships, our staff is also volunteering time and expertise to work with 12 new non-profits this year, providing instruction in grant writing, access to research tools and oneon-one training,” McPherson said in a press release. “The first recipients of our CSR Award are Wolf Awareness Inc. in Golden, B.C. and the British Columbia Society for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse located in Vancouver.We are very excited to start working with these two amazing organi-

zations.” For more information, visit www.grantadvance. com.

Steel & Oak expansion gets go-ahead from city Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Steel & Oak Brewing Co. will soon be serving its award-winning brews to more craft beer enthusiasts. New Westminster city council recently considered a zoning amendment that would allow Steel & Oak to expand the seating in its lounge from 30 to 50 people. James Garbutt, co-owner of Steel & Oak, said the 20-seat increase would allow the brewery to accommodate more occupants, including folks who like to bring their kids to the brewery, and employees. “For us, having 20 more people will allow us to hire four more craft beer enthusiast employees,” he said. “It will allow us to have more room for community events. It will allow us to have better food programming, which we’d like to have. … It will allow us to compete with some of our craft brewery counterparts that have upwards of 230 people occupancy.The additional revenue that we will gain from it will be reinvested in the business.We plan to buy more equipment and continue to grow, and we hope you support it.” After approving the zoning amendment for 1319 Third Ave., city council passed a resolution in sup-

port of the increased seating, which will be forwarded to the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. When originally discussing the application, Coun. Bill Harper suggested the city may need an overall policy around brew pubs. “These things are getting more popular, getting bigger. My understanding is there are some people interested in moving into the city and creating brew pubs,” he said. “The real question is whether or not we should have a policy around it.” Harper suggested it may be useful for the city to have a discussion about the kind of brew pubs it would like to see in the city and what restrictions should be in place, particularly when they’re located near residential areas. Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development

services, said it’s part of the planning division’s mid- to long-term work plan to develop a policy about brew pubs. “Currently we have had some preliminary inquiries regarding small-scale breweries in other commercial areas, but we haven’t had an application go through yet,” she said. Teed said small cottage breweries are currently only permitted in industrial areas in New West, but the review would consider whether they should be permitted in commercial areas. Coun. Mary Trentadue believes the city needs to explore how to streamline its processes so local businesses like Steel & Oak don’t have to go through such a lengthy and onerous process to get a small increase in seating in its lounge.

IN THE LIBRARY

Uptown neighbourhood is no stranger to change Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

The uptown area of New Westminster certainly has a lot of things happening, including a major project at the public library, a large store addition in Royal City Centre and ongoing discussions surrounding a development just up the street from Sixth and Sixth. In looking through uptown’s history we can follow many changes, watch the evolution of the overall landscape and note the developments that played prominent roles, often encouraging the influx of other endeavours. In the 1890s, the Moody Park area had a golf course and shooting range, and sheep were allowed to graze there to keep control of the grass. In the 1920s, the automobile was becoming more important, so it was necessary to have facilities for fuel and service.

Early gas stations appeared at Sixth Avenue at Eighth Street, Eighth Avenue at Sixth Street, Sixth Street at Fourth Avenue and Sixth Avenue at Second Street. In 1921, a change took place at the Sixth and Sixth corner with the sale of property.The Britannia Grocery and Wadsworth and Deardon, butcher shop, were sold, but the latter remained and the rest of the property was considered for a drug store.This is the Waves location of today. Across Sixth Street, the corner in 1929 would be home to a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. In time it was replaced by Safeway, and today this corner holds the CIBC. In 1930, the telephone company arrived uptown. The phone company purchased a large block and announced that, not only would they develop in the uptown area, but they would move their full operations from Clarkson Street

downtown. Up Sixth Street a block or two in 1946, the new medical arts building was drawing attention. An article noting the changes uptown stated: “The successful completion of the Medical Arts Building exemplifies the progress experienced by our community in the past few years and will particularly enhance Sixth Street as a shopping centre.” In 1959/60 this area saw a couple of fast food establishments open for business. Right next door to the new public library that opened uptown in 1958 was the Dairy Queen. A few blocks away at Sixth Street at Seventh Avenue was the Big S Drive In, a popular place for burgers.

New West curler ﬁnds gold in game’s birthplace By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

As part of Canada’s Tyler Tardi rink, New West’s Sterling Middleton has enjoyed the perks of winning. Now he knows the peak. The Langley-based Tardi rink bested Scotland’s Ross Whyte Team 6-5 last week for the men’s

world junior curling championship title in Aberdeen, UK. Considering the litany of titles the crew has won, this one is definitely different. It took an extra end, but the Canadian team edged out the host, Scotland’s Ross Whyte rink, 6-5 for the top prize on Saturday. While they trailed twice, 1-0 and 2-1, early, Canada gained tempo-

rary control with three points in the sixth end, followed by a steal of one in the seventh. Ahead 5-2, the Tardi team witnessed the Scots rally, counting a single point in the 10th end to tie it 5-5. On the last rock of the extra end,Tardi’s draw was good enough to score one point and give Canada the win. “At the worlds it was really, real-

ly fun to go play. Of course, Scotland, being the birthplace of curling with such deep history there, was a cool place to see where the sport started,” said Middleton, a second-year student in Douglas College’s sports science program. “(Scotland) had probably 100 times more fans than we did.They were really loud and rowdy and made a lot of noise for them,” he

noted. “We didn’t let it bother us; we just did our own thing and got a little bit of a lead early and that kind of quieted down the crowd a bit. All in all, it made for a very exciting game.” The Scottish comeback, while it didn’t rattle the Canadians, underscored the intensity of the play at that level, Middleton said. Continued on page 27

Sophomore success for Schultz NewWest track star finishes second at NCAA indoor finals As a sophomore, Nina Schultz would permit no slump. The Kansas State University track and field star delivered a stellar performance last week at the NCAA Indoor championships in College Station,Texas. By accumulating a set of new records, from personal to school marks, Schultz exited as an All-American for the second straight season. “It was cool knowing that I am becoming part of K-State history, and hopefully I can build on that because I still have two more years,” Schultz Being out said in a press re“Being out here again lease. here again was was just just a good experience.” a good The New experience Westminster native finished second overall in the pentathlon with an accumulated 4,467 points, a new record for the KS program, while improving on last year’s 4,340 points. She topped the high jump, the pentathlon’s second event, with a jump of 1.84 metres. Schultz would register the second-best mark in long jump, at 6.21m, and put up a new personal best in the 800m race, with a time of 2:19.58, good for eighth overall. In the other events, Schultz placed third in the 60m hurdles, with a time of 8.29 seconds, and 11th overall in the shotput, with a throw of 11.53m. It was the third time in her two-year university career that Schultz, a product of the New West Spartans club, had made the All-American honour roll (indoor and outdoor track). “Overall, I think that she (Schultz) had a really solid meet,” said K-State director of track and field and cross country Cliff Rovelto in a press release. “It is her second-best (pentathlon) total ever, and she scored significantly higher than she did last year. She is just a lot better. She has had a great year.”

Douglas digs its way to national silver Reigning B.C. champs run aground as rivals Mariners prevail for Canadian title

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Like an onion, the layers of experience all add up to something valuable. There’s also an occasional tear shed while peeling it. The Douglas College Royals ventured to their first Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association championships in a decade, and, when the dust settled, silver was what they earned. While the gold was within their grasp against their B.C. final rival Vancouver Island University (VIU), falling 3-1 is being chalked up as something to build on, not to fester about. “We came in and played some very good (volleyball).We were up against some very strong teams and for all our players it was a new experience,” remarked Douglas head coach Jeff Ross of

the tournament in Grande Prairie, Alta. “There’s no doubt it was a valuable experience, and I’m pretty pleased with how we handled each challenge.” The final was a rematch of the PacWest final just two weeks earlier, where the Royals picked up their first B.C. crown since 1995 with a 3-0 sweep of VIU.This time, the Islanders – who have medalled at five of the last seven nationals – came out gunning. They took the first two sets, 25-19 and 25-20, before the New West squad countered with a 2523 win to extend the match.VIU would close it out 25-16 for the national crown. Despite a lot of knowledge and first-hand experience on their opponent, the fact that the core of the Mariners placed third at last year’s CCAA championships as a reference point was a major asset, said Ross.

“That kind of experience matters a lot in this (situation),” he said. “There was a lot going on; you’re getting accustomed to a new gym, surroundings and competition, … and I think by the end of it we just ran out of gas.” In the final, fourth-year Vicky Schley racked up seven kills and 19 digs to earn the team’s Player of the Match award. Digging themselves out of a hole wasn’t something new, at least for the tourney. In the semifinal, the Royals dropped the opening set 24-26 to Humber College before rebounding with three straight wins (25-16, 25-23, 25-23) to play for gold. The semifinal was a monster game for second-year outside hitter Vania Oliveira, who mounted a one-woman wrecking crew with 20 kills, 21 digs and three blocks.The Brazillian, who would be the lone Royal among the All-

Canadians announced during the championship, was in fine form throughout the tourney to pick up a first all-star team honour, alongside libero and co-captain Claudia Corneil. Contributing 11 kills and 19 digs in the semifinal was freshman Caet McCorkell. In the quarter-final, they silenced a hometown crowd by topping Grande Prairie 3-1 (2523, 22-25, 25-21, 25-18), with Corneil recording 21 digs, Oliveira delivering 19 kills and Schley adding eight kills and 16 digs. Jane Kepler, behind seven kills and five digs, picked up the Player of the Match award. Kepler would the named to the CCAA second all-star team for her performance on the week. Douglas College would close out the tournament by being presented with the Exemplary Leadership Award.

No problem. “We have our game plan and we have our strategies, and we play what works for us,” said Middleton. “Some countries were more aggressive, some more defensive playing against us, but we didn’t change anything.We adapted to whatever the opposition wanted to play us.” Another factor was the team competed at last year’s world juniors, where they

finished fifth after losing a tie-breaker. “It helped us a ton. There were a couple of the same teams there, so we were familiar with how to play them,” said Middleton. “It’s not always going to be a struggle but a distraction being Team Canada, the team that everybody wants to beat.We had a little bit more time to prepare this year and just changed a couple of things, and it obviously paid off in the end.”

BODNER, George It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Uncle George at the young age of 93. He was born in 1925 and moved to New Westminster 5 years later. George was the fifth born of 6 children and was the last surviving sibling. He was extremely proud to have been a member of the Canadian Military during World War II. George was a Millworker for 42 years in New Westminster before happily retiring. He is survived by his sisterin-law Vi Bodner and friend Al Peterson. George was loved dearly by his niece; Colleen and nephews; Ken, Craig, Casey and Arnold. He was also a wonderful Grandfather to Bryce, Shaylene, and Amber. Being a man of humour, George was always able to see the positive in everything. He danced his way through life and is now dancing with the angels. George’s Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date.
