FEED THE BIRDS

Four-year-old Elsa Huang makes friends with some pigeons at the Quay on Sunday, as the early spring weather coaxed residents out of hibernation for at least part of the weekend. Residents hoping to enjoy some outside time this weekend may be in luck. Although the forecast is calling for some rain on Friday and Saturday, it’s meant to clear up for partly sunny weather in time for Easter Sunday – with temperatures reaching a high of 12 C for the holiday weekend.

THE CHANGING CITY

New West eyes new model for health care A new community health centre could help ease strain on overstressed hospital emergency rooms tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council is keen on the concept of having a community health centre in the Royal City. A delegation of medical professionals and professors from the faculty of health sciences at Simon Fraser University recent-

ly appeared at a city council meeting to encourage New Westminster to support the creation of a community health centre in the city.While there are many community health centres across Canada, the only one in British Columbia is REACH, which opened in East Vancouver in 1969. “The main attributes of a community health centre involve community gover-

nance, community engagement and community accountability,” said John Calvert, an associate professor in the faculty of sciences at SFU. “They involve using an interdisciplinary team of health-care professionals that try and ensure the services that are provided are integrated and are very broad in scope in terms of the types of professionals involved. Community health centres deal

with the whole issue of the social determinants of health and wellness.” Instead of treating people once they’re already ill, Calvert said community health centres help people through prevention, outreach, community education and health advocacy. The centres provide a range of services Continued on page 3

Up Front ON THE RIVER:

It was a make-yourown-fun moment for the volunteers at Fraser River Discovery Centre when photographer Lisa King stopped by Saturday to check out what was happening for spring break. The weather outside may have temporarily discouraged local families from checking out the fun, but the volunteers weren’t averse to playing a blow-up dice game called Journey of the Working River. The family fun continues at the Discovery Centre this weekend, with Easter celebrations set for Saturday, March 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kids can hunt for sturgeon eggs throughout the centre and even take a picture with the “Sturgeon Bunny” before he hops away. Arts, crafts and treats will be available for free with admission to the centre. Check out www. fraserriverdiscovery.org for all the details, or stop in to the centre at 788 Quayside Dr. PHOTO LISA KING

HERITAGE PRESERVATION

City gives homeowners a break on windows Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council will give a Queen’s Park resident a break on the costly replacement of windows on a heritage house. The owners of 318 Fifth St. applied for a heritage revitalization agreement to allow the addition of a 1,623-square-foot laneway house that’s 69 per cent bigger than what’s permit-

ted. As part of the application, they agreed to restore and provide long-term legal protection of the 1908 John and Adelaide Jardine House through a heritage revitalization agreement and a heritage designation bylaw. A staff report noted that the existing vinyl windows that were installed in 2000 would be replaced with wood-frame windows as part of the restoration.The homeowners recently spoke

to the city’s land use and planning commission about the project and expressed concern about the financial and environmental impacts of replacing the windows within the recommended timeline. A quote indicated the cost of replacing windows on all four sides of the house at Fifth and Blackford streets would range from $121,285 to $147,025. A heritage consultant opposed a pro-

posed wood veneer treatment that would be applied over the top of the existing vinyl windows as an interim solution. “I think that this applicant has gone a long way to preserve their home and keep it attractive and to put the work into a heritage home that is required. I have a hard time requiring that windows be replaced, just in order to satisfy an HRA. It just doesn’t make

sense to me in an environmental sense,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “There is nothing wrong with the windows.They are working as they should be now.” Council supported an option that the windows on the Fifth Street and Blackford Street frontages be replaced within 10 years, and the windows on the other two sides of the house be replaced at the end of their life.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the house is being designated, so the city will benefit from the preservation of the heritage home. He said the project also benefits the community in that it meets other goals the city is trying to meet. “It is meeting those gentle infill and family-friendly housing goals that we are trying to create in our single-family neighbourhoods,” he said.

New West council eyes community health centre Continued from page 1 including medical care by physicians and nurses, dentistry, pharmacy, counselling, social workers, immigrant and refugee services, multicultural family services and community outreach. According to Calvert, there are more than 300 community health centres across Canada. He said research done in Ontario showed the centres have done a good job of reducing demand on emergency departments because peo-

ple are able to get more of the services they need in the community without having to go to the hospital for a crisis that could be better handled at a community health centre. New Westminster resident Agnes Black, a registered nurse and a health-care researcher, said she works at St. Paul’s Hospital and is well aware of what happens when community health centres aren’t available to meet people’s needs. “People end up in the

emergency department when those needs could be better be met by an interdisciplinary team at a place like a community health centre,” she said. “I’d love to seek one in New West.” During the 2017 provincial election campaign, the NDP indicated community health centres were an important part of its healthcare reform package, Calvert said. “Strong local interest may be a factor in encouraging the provincial government

We think this is a great model that has huge potential to say, ‘Yes, New Westminster is a good place for us to consider placing one of these new centres.’That’s our pitch here,” he told council. “We think this is a great model that has huge

potential.” City council will approach the provincial government about establishing a community health centre in New Westminster. Council also supported a motion by councillors Bill Harper and Jaimie McEvoy to direct staff to support the province’s initiative to establish 20 centres across the province and to direct the Union of B.C. Municipalities to consult with the province and health region to develop proposals for im-

plementing the centres in municipalities interested in hosting new community health centres. Harper said he’s personally experienced the community health model, as his youngest son was born at REACH in East Vancouver. “The community health centre model is like a onestop shopping,” he said. “It’s one that actually facilitates the total health of the patient.That’s what appeals to me the most.”

City Council has adopted a rate structure that reflects the same rate increase implemented by BC Hydro. The new rates reflect an across-the-board 3% rate increase, effective April 1, 2018. Although both residential and commercial rates are being revised to reflect the same rate increase, the amount of any increase in monthly electricity bill will vary depending on the amount of energy used. The electricity bill for a residential household using 1,000 kWh per month will increase by $3.43 to $117.87 per month. Even with the new approved rates, the City of New Westminster utilities rates remain on average amongst the lowest in North America.

District gets new superintendent Karim Hachlaf has taken over the top education job in NewWest Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

There’s someone new at the helm of the New Westminster school district. The school board announced earlier this month that current associate superintendent Karim Hachlaf has been hired as the new superintendent of the New Westminster school district. Hachlaf takes over from interim superintendent Bev Rundell, who has been in the role since January following the retirement of former superintendent Pat Duncan in December. Hachlaf will officially take over on April 1. “We are thrilled to see Karim take our district to the next level at this particularly exciting time in the history of New Westminster schools,” said board of education chair Mark Gifford in a press release. “Although the board was impressed by the excellent

quality of candidates who New Westminster, the work stepped forward following ethic that he’s demonstrata Canada-wide search by ed, and his vision of eduPFM Executive Search, Mr. cational leadership.

Lorenz’s final day with the New Westminster school district is May 31.

Lorenz worked for the Vernon school district as associate secretary-treasurer before being hired in New Westminster in 2014 as assistant secretary-treasurer to replace outgoing director of finance Sheldon Lee. He became secretarytreasurer later that same year following secretarytreasurer Al Balanuik’s departure.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Is spring break really a ‘break’ for families? Spring break is drawing to a close as New Westminster students experience their last couple of days off school (and an Easter weekend to boot). But whether this twoweek-long break has been a time of refreshment or a stress-filled scramble for extra child care depends very much on perspective. Most school districts – although not all – have moved from a one-week break to a

two-week break in the past decade. There’s no particularly sound educational reason for that. The longer break began as a cost-saving measure to help cash-strapped school districts operate within tight budgets.When classes aren’t in session, school districts save on overhead like fuel, lights, heating and costs for casual employees such as teachers on call.

Of course, some of the largest costs faced by school districts – pay for regular teachers, for instance – aren’t impacted by spring break because salaried employees are paid based on hours of instruction throughout the school year. There’s an argument to be made that money isn’t really saved by a longer spring break – just shifted, from the general provincial taxpayers to families, who

now find themselves paying for extra child care and activities or taking time off work. Not to mention the potential burden on employers – particularly in small businesses – who face the problem of multiple employees seeking the same days off. While many families – particularly those with a parent at home, a parent who happens to be a teacher, or those with flex-

ible work schedules and the means to take off for a sunny vacation – welcome a longer spring break, others find the added week a strain. It’s not hard to see that people such as working single parents will be most challenged, and it’s the most vulnerable kids – those who will spend most of their break in front of a screen, or whose families rely on social supports at their school –

who will find a longer break more challenging. Before the two-week spring hiatus becomes something that’s “always been done,” it’s worth considering who’s really getting the break here and who’s been left dealing with the impacts of this downloading.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Peek backstage at B.C.’s drama

There is no question the B.C. political events of last spring and summer were drama of the highest order. The incredibly close election result, which remained uncertain for days.The historic and emotional confidence vote, which saw a B.C. government fall from power for the first time in more than 50 years. The momentous visits to Government House by two political leaders, with one replacing the other as premier of the province. And the emergence of a tiny third political party that ultimately decided just who was going to lead this province going forward for what remains an uncertain time. Collectively, they represent perhaps the most exciting and fascinating period of modern B.C. history and merit a special, penetrating deep-dive into what happened. And that’s exactly what two B.C. press gallery reporters have provided. Richard Zussman and Rob Shaw’s new book, A Matter of Confidence: the Inside Story of the Political Battle for B.C., is a sensational account of sensational occurrences and reads like a page-turning political thriller, the outcome of which seems uncertain until near the end. Zussman, a reporter at Global News (he wrote the book while working as a CBC reporter) and Shaw, a Vancouver Sun columnist, did not have much time to pull this project off. They were facing a tight deadline of just a few weeks last fall and immediately set to interviewing pretty well

every player – major and minor – about what had happened, while memories of the historic events remained fresh in everyone’s minds. The result is a lively, behind-the-scenes tale brimming with new anecdotes and marvellous detail. Where to begin? One of the more vivid scenes describes how NDP campaign director Bob Dewar hit upon the idea of scrapping the tolls on the Port Mann Bridge, a move that many think ultimately handed the NDP enough ridings in suburban Metro Vancouver to win the election. Another bit of drama captured with riveting new details was the night then-Premier Christy Clark, having lost a confidence vote in the legislature, visited Government House to meet with Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon. The authors paint a picture of a political leader almost desperately trying to cling to power or force an election, only to glumly realize the game was over. In addition, the account of NDP leader John Horgan being summoned to Government House has some great moments. After Clark left, Guichon’s private secretary, Jeremy Brownridge phoned Dewar (at this point Horgan’s chief of staff) and told him: “Bob, this is your million-dollar phone call.” Dewar grabbed Horgan and off they went for that momentous visit. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Have a cool one withVenus Pub-goers will eventually have an outdoor patio where they can enjoy a cold drink on a hot day. On the road to becoming a licenced watering hole, the owners of Venus Restaurant approached the city for permission to build a patio at the back of the future pub.The vision was to relocate the existing restaurant to an area currently used as a banquet room while the new pub would take up the restaurant area at Sixth and Blackford streets.The patio would be located at the back of the pub and would be screened in and surrounded by landscaping. (Today the pub is River’s Reach Pub.)

Opinion ‘Incomplete’ report on new secondary school disappointed district Dear Editor: I am deeply disappointed with your “Special Report: New school is already too small” (the Record, March 22). In collaboration with my project team, I have spent months recently engaging with our community in public small group meetings on our new secondary school and not once, has a reporter from the Record attended these discussions. Rather, a short impromptu interview with me at a school event and an interview with one other community member has formulated an incomplete report, which requires clarification for our community. First, our new secondary school scheduled to open in September 2020 is not too small and will be able to accommodate all of our incoming students. The Province of B.C. is supporting the largest school investment in B.C. history, which will accommodate 1,900 Grade 9 to 12 students and will provide a state-of-the-art learning environment. As we consider our future short-term enrolment growth, we will need to adjust our international student population. While we will be unable to maintain our current international student enrolment, it remains a vital and important program for our school district and community at large. The New Westminster school district is a leader in Canadian international education, and we are one of Canada’s longest running public

school international education programs. As we look at future long-term enrolment projections for our school district, our school board will be actively engaged in creating a long-term facilities plan which considers future enrolment growth for all of our schools. In considering a variety of options, we are committed to working with all of our partner groups, including the City of New Westminster, which has been very supportive of our capital projects. Looking ahead as the new superintendent of the New Westminster school district, the real and exciting “special report” is this: “With the support of our provincial government and board of education, we have announced three major capital projects, which include our new secondary school, a new McBride Elementary and a seismically upgraded Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary School that will forever change our school district and equip our students with safe and innovative learning environments.” Karim Hachlaf, superintendent, New Westminster school district Editor’s note: The Record’s education reporter has attended two open houses for the New Westminster Secondary School replacement project, most recently March 10. The “short impromptu interview” referred to in the letter was a 14-minute conversation that took place prior to an event at the high school because the superintendent had not returned the reporter’s calls throughout the week. The conversation took place on the record.

Cat’s ashes stolen from uptown Burger King Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby cat owner is hoping against hope for the return of a beloved feline’s ashes after they were stolen from a New Westminster Burger King on St. Patrick’s Day. Zsuzsa was a private cat with knowing yellow-green eyes and the softest fur, according to owner Jennifer Steel, who got the tabby as a kitten in 2006. “She was a bit of a loner,” Steel said. “She just stuck to herself. Her favourite spot was sitting in the window, looking outside.” The 12-year-old cat wasn’t spayed until later in life, according to Steel, but never mothered a litter of kittens despite many a latenight liaison. “She got around,” Steel said with a laugh. “She got called names by my friend.” Not shy of adventure, Zsuzsa once had to get one of her teeth fixed after she lost it in a fight. And, even in death, Zsuzsa wasn’t done with adven-

tures, according to Steel. The tabby was put down at the Vancouver SPCA Hospital earlier this month after a brief battle with cancer, and Steel’s brother, Rowan paid $125 for a private cremation through the Until We Meet Again pet memorial centre.

I am hoping in a big way that Zsuzsa’s ashes will be returned. No questions asked.

He agreed to pick up and deliver the cedar box containing Zsuzsa’s ashes to Steel on March 17, but he stopped for a burger on the way at the New Westminster Burger King on Sixth Street. When he got up to leave, his bags (one of which held the cedar box) were gone,

according to Steel. She and her brother have since looked in every bin and dumpster in the area and searched the mall across the street, she said, but to no avail. New Westminster police have obtained security video footage showing the theft and are working to identify a suspect, according to department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott. “It’s still under investigation,” he said. “If what was in the bag was an urn containing the ashes of a deceased cat, that’s concerning.That’s something we would really like to get back for the owner.” Police have told Steel it’s unlikely the ashes will be found, she said, but she’s holding out hope. “I am hoping in a big way that Zsuzsa’s ashes will be returned. No questions asked,” she said. “I was just looking forward to having her on my bedroom dresser and just knowing she’s still here, even though it’s her ashes, something tangible.”

Missing friend: Above, Zsuzsa in better times. A cedar box containing the Burnaby cat’s ashes, like the one pictured at left, was stolen at a New Westminster Burger King on St. Patrick’s Day, according to owner Jennifer Steel. She is appealing to the public for help finding the box. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

Cops nab distracted driver twice – within seven minutes Some people just don’t learn. That’s the police department’s conclusion after slapping the same driver with two tickets in seven minutes for using his phone behind the wheel.

The infractions happened on March 13 while two police officers were heading out to do traffic enforcement. On the way, one of the officers spotted a driver using a cellphone.The driver was pulled over and is-

sued a ticket for $368, according to New Westminster Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott. Meanwhile, the second officer, who had continued on, was checking for distracted drivers in the 600

FRESH CHOICES

block of 20th Street. After a few minutes, the same driver passed by. He was once again using his cellphone and was promptly pulled over, according to Scott. “For someone to receive a violation ticket for distract-

ed driving and then seven minutes later get caught allegedly doing the same thing seems like a flippant disregard to the safety of others,” he said. The first incident happened at 12:20 p.m. and the

second at 12:27 p.m.The driver was issued two tickets for using an electronic device behind the wheel for a total fine of $736 and eight demerit points. – Cayley Dobie

New children’s book highlights social justice Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

A new children’s book by New West company Peppermint Toast Publishing hopes to get kids thinking about social justice. Written by Linda Grace Smith and illustrated by Emmi Ojala, One Too Many approaches social issues with kindness. It addresses children’s rights to shelter, clothing, health care, food, water, education, safety and belonging, and aims to help children learn about social justice, and feel empowered to take action. Ten per cent of the book’s proceeds will be sent to charitable and non-profit organizations that advocate for children’s rights.You can find the book for $12.60 at pepperminttoast.com. JOURNEY WITH WATERCOLOUR

Watercolour has always been an important medium for helping artist Shameem Khan’s ideas take shape. He used watercolour for sketching in his career as an architectural designer, but the medium took a backseat when he swapped his brushes for keyboards and a mouse, completing more of his designs on a computer. But winning an award for his art at a Nanaimo art festival last year inspired him to paint again. A Journey is on at Plaskett Gallery from April 3 to 30, transporting viewers around the globe with Khan’s paintbrush, through intimate street cafes, sixlane highways and rugged mountain monasteries. The gallery is located at the Massey Theatre and is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. and during all performances. ART OF LIFE AND DEATH

An exhibition by the Arts Council of New Westminster and the New West Hospice Society hopes to make conversations about death, dying and grief more common and a little easier to have. From Life to Death presents work from 14 artists on themes about their personal journeys through life while considering their mortality, and what they have learned from those who have died. The exhibition is at the Community Art Space at the Anvil Centre and runs from April 3 to June 1.The opening reception will be held on April 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. There is a free workshop related to the exhibition April 7 from 3 to 4:30 p.m., where Dr. Doris Barwich and Joshua Dahling will be presenting. The Anvil Centre is at 777 Columbia St.

Come hear the music play at Cabaret Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

Before Lauren Bowler goes on stage, you’ll find her behind the curtain getting into character, visualizing where she is going and what she needs to do, playing over the first few scenes in her mind. “If I have to sing in a show, there’s usually one song I have to stand backstage and recite all the lyrics to,” she says. “I suspect it’s going to be Don’t Tell Mama.” Bowler has been a professional actor in Vancouver for 15 years, and starting on April 12 she’s playing Sally Bowles in Royal City Musical Theatre’s production of Cabaret. It’s frivolous, raunchy and fun, juxtaposed with heavy political themes. The musical is set in 1931 Berlin, a city transitioning from the centre of avant-garde culture to the site of Hitler’s growing regime pre-Second World War. Cliff, an American writer, finds himself in the Kit Kat Klub on his first night in Berlin. He meets the rowdy ensemble at the cabaret, including dancer Sally Bowles. Cliff and Sally begin a relationship and live together in the guesthouse of Fraulein Schneider, who becomes the target of antiSemitic crimes. As the story unfolds, characters discover friends belong to the Nazi party, and hate crimes become the norm. It’s a bold, terrifying and beautiful piece of theatre, says Bowler.The costumes include fishnet, lace, lingerie and severe makeup. The music too, says Bowler, adds to the themes and whole experience, meant

to evoke an emotional response. “It’s dark and brooding and gorgeous, but it’s also willing to sit in these uncomfortable places and make people truly feel,” she says. Her character derives her self-worth from dancing at the cabaret and performing for her clients. And while she knows the political climate is darkening, she clings to her identity as a dancer and the fun, playful

Onstage What: Cabaret, presented by Royal City Musical Theatre When: April 12 to 29, with previews April 12 and 13 and opening night April 14. Where: Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. Tickets: $48 regular, $39 seniors/students, $29 children 13 and under. Call 604-521-5050 or see www. ticketsnw.ca. community at the cabaret. “Sally’s not stupid, but she also knows how to live, and she only wants to hang on to the fun and crazy, zany community she’s found in Berlin where she can truly be herself,” she says. “She’s witty, she’s smart, and she’s quick. She knows how to get what she wants. ...The club is her escape as well.That’s where she feels she is valuable.” Bowler tries to understand the characters she plays, but there’s a lot about Sally she has difficulty empathizing with. “It’s hard to play some-

body making choices that you don’t necessarily agree with as an actor, but she believes she’s making the right choice, so I have to champion her,” she says. “But I also think she has a huge amount of love to give, and there’s a compelling desire for positivity and fun and exuberance that is amazing, and sort of enviable in a way.” Cabaret was revolutionary when it first opened in the ’60s, based on the novel Goodbye Berlin by Christopher Isherwood, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. It’s fun and energetic, but it’s also one of the first musicals to tackle serious issues, says play director and choreographer Valerie Easton. “WorldWar II was still close to a lot of people at that time. ... (It) was quite ground-breaking to put in a musical; you know, people think of musicals as being light and funny, so to put that subject matter in a musical was quite new,” she says. “The story is about imperfect people, and for a musical, that’s slightly different than something like Oklahoma or Carousel.” And though the play is now more than 50 years old, what stands out for Easton is that the topics will still be relevant to contemporary audiences. “It’s a very powerful story, and it’s quite uncanny how it relates to how we are today, and what’s going on with women’s rights, with racism, and ... there’s a lot of worry about power struggles,” she says. Easton says she thinks the audience will enjoy the music.

Piva honors Joe’s passion for farm fresh ingredients, traditional Italian cooking and exceptionally prepared food and drink with a modern approach.

Celebrating Seniors

Leaders sought for new program Century House needs five youth and five seniors to work on projects

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Century House Association is looking for leaders to help plan a number of projects in New Westminster. The association has received a grant from the New Horizons for Seniors’ program to host Meeting in the Middle, a community-based intergenerational leadership project. Century House is currently looking for five project leaders, five youth leaders and five senior leaders who will form a “pod” and work on five community-based intergenerational leadership projects. “Those three people design and implement a project around a theme,” said Shelly Schnee, a recreation programmer at Century House. “They organize the project for other youth and seniors.Those three people are in charge of designing the project and inviting youth and seniors to partic-

ipate.” The deadline to apply for Meeting in the Middle is Friday, April 13. Participants must be able to commit to the entire project, which runs between May 2018 and January 2019, and expect to commit about 70 hours over the duration of the project. An honorarium is available to successful candidates. “What we are doing right now is looking for project leaders, youth leaders and senior leaders.We want people to apply for those positions,” Schnee said. “We have an advisory committee – there is seven seniors, four youth and two staff on the advisory committee.That group of people will interview all the applicants and will put together the teams.” In 2013, Century House and the New WestYouth Centre held a 10-week artbased intergenerational project, Heart 2 Art. Successful applicants will work in a group of three (a

project leader, a youth and a senior) and deliver a community-based intergenerational leadership project for youth and seniors in the community. “I think it’s a really exciting opportunity,” Schnee said of the intergenerational project. “We had such success with Heart 2 Art and this framework of a youth and a senior and a project leader.” Under the leaders, the teams will work on projects in five different areas: community projects; outdoor art projects; culinary pursuits; nature; and technology. The leaders in each pod will work as a team to plan their projects. “We have the five basic ideas – if you look at those ideas, it could be anything. Then the project team of the project leader, the youth leader and the senior leader, they get to figure out what that’s going to look like,” Schnee said. “They have some supply funds.They

have a little bit of a budget to execute those projects.” Once the leadership pods have designed the five projects, they will put out a call for participants from the community. “The minimum will be five youth and five seniors, but maybe for example, Pay it Forward is doing projects out in the community, so maybe they can have a larger group.You don’t want to make the group too large that the cool stuff doesn’t happen, but at the same time you want to benefit as many youth and seniors in the community as you can,” Schnee said. “It’s up to the pod leadership to make those decisions because they are going to be designing the projects.” Application forms for the Meeting in the Middle leadership positions are available at Century House, 620 Eighth St., or online at new westyouth.ca.

Creativity & Children A great mix

That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in New Westminster. The New Westminster Record, local businesses and organizations, and the New Westminster school district, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section. Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages. The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students. The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the New Westminster Record and another Design an Ad section is complete.

The ads are also on display at Royal City Centre from March 30th. I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success! Publisher New Westminster Record

At New Westminster Schools, we’re proud of the exciting things happening across the district. We started 2018 with a brand new vision of New Westminster Schools as a “place where students love to learn” - and the evidence is everywhere that we are well on our way! Our students are engaged and it shows. Kindergarten and elementary school kids across the district, for instance, are now gaining hands-on learning experience in maker spaces that give them a chance to take up hammers and drills to make birdhouses, xylophones, benches and more. That means they are gaining not only practical skills, but problem solving and design thinking skills too. And they’re doing it with the help, guidance and mentorship of visiting high school students. It’s a cross-district, crossgrade and cross-curricular approach to learning that speaks volumes about the ability of our district to work together in new and inspired ways. A hands-on approach to learning is key at the middle and high school levels too. Our embrace of technology supports inclusion for all of our students. Robotics, laptops, 3D printers, and digital media arts give students innovative and creative ways to demonstrate learning in any number of academic subjects – and that’s a good thing!

Our journey toward Reconciliation continues as we learn to “...Our wonderful understand our history with diversity is a Aboriginal peoples, to change our relationship for the better, and to constant source ensure the success of our Aborigof pride” inal students. From Pow Wow dancing to salmon feasts, and from smudges to traditional rites of passage, students are experiencing the living cultures of First Peoples and embracing Aboriginal principles of learning in all subject areas. It’s a journey of many steps, but we have begun… Our educators’ embrace of innovation reveals a deep dedication and commitment to making learning relevant and engaging for all of our students. Their teamwork in exploring new approaches - in technology, in social and emotional learning, in student empowerment and more is truly inspiring. We are also making huge strides in our capital projects program, with construction now underway on our new high school, and the fantastic news this month of seismic upgrades for École Lord Tweedsmuir and a new school for Richard McBride.

At New Westminster Schools, good things really are happening!

Megan, Fraser River Middle School, Grade 7

Our wonderful diversity is a constant source of pride, and never more so than during last week’s Multicul-

tural Week at Lord Kelvin elementary school - where no less than half of the school’s students come from countries other than Canada. During the Parade of Cultures, children from Eritrea to Syria and from Holland to China, wore their traditional costumes in an expression of joy that was palpable. What an inspiration!

Celebrating Seniors

Society says all seniors need a safe place to stay Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Seniors Services Society is trying to ensure seniors aren’t forgotten in British Columbia’s poverty reduction strategy. In response to concerns that B.C. has the highest poverty rate in Canada, the province is developing a poverty reduction strategy that will include targets and timelines to address the issue.The society has provided the province with input about strategies it believes could help reduce poverty among seniors. “The recent statistic is there is 100,000 seniors living below the poverty line in B.C.,” said Kara-Leigh Bloch, the society’s executive director. “That is quite significant, so they need to be factored into what strategies will eliminate the issues we are talking about – people having to make choices between relieving pain and paying their rent.That shouldn’t be.They should be able to be thriving and

feel well, if they are able to, with whatever medication they need.” The society, which employs outreach workers who provide one-on-one assistance to seniors who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, regularly hears

Some of them are just falling through the cracks… from seniors who are unaware about different programs that may be available to them to reduce their rent – and leave them with a bit more money to spend. “In some cases, depending on what their rent is, if they are locked into a pretty low rent because they have been a tenant it might really make a difference,” Bloch said of the programs. “For those that are recently moving and paying in this extremely high rental market,

they are basically having to make decisions on what are they going to do with their income.” Bloch said struggling seniors often share heartbreaking stories about choices they make regarding their limited funds, such as skipping meals, stretching a small TV dinner into two meals or being unable to buy personal care items such as pain or arthritis medication that isn’t covered through Pharmacare but would provide some pain relief and improve their quality of life – all so they can pay their rent. Some can’t afford to buy incontinence supplies, so they

avoid potential embarrassing situations and stay home – becoming more and more isolated. “It is absolutely tragic that this is the tribute to the seniors who have built the communities we live in. Some of them are just falling through the cracks unnecessarily,” she said. “We need to pull together as a government, service providers, as a whole collective and figure out ways to ensure that those who are mainly marginalized because of income barriers, that they have opportunities to thrive and have an amazing wellbeing.” SAFER – Shelter Aid For

Elderly Renters – is available to seniors aged 60 and up who are paying more than 30 per cent of their gross (before tax) monthly household income towards their rent. Details (including an online calculator to check if you qualify, are available at www.bchousing. org/housing-assistance. The Senior’s Supplement is designed to ensure a guaranteed income for B.C. residents aged 65 and up who are receiving the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement/Old Age Security or federal allowance. If an eligible senior’s income is below the level guaranteed by the province, the supple-

ment makes up the difference. “It’s quite astonishing when we get a call from someone, when they finally hit rock bottom or something tips them over and we realize they didn’t know about SAFER subsidy, or they didn’t file their taxes so they didn’t get the extra top-up that the federal government gives called the GIS – the guaranteed income supplement,” Bloch said. “We are able to help them.” For more info go to www. seniorsservicessociety.ca or call 604-520-6621.

AS WE AGE

Knowledge, Skills & Confidence Cancer: Thriving & Surviving Self-Management

Organization wants feds to focus on seniors The Canadian Association for Long Term Care is calling on the federal government to focus on seniors’ care as a national priority. In response to increasing demands on the health-care system resulting from a rapidly aging population, the association’s board of directors supported three strategic priorities for the federal government at its annual general meeting in February: ! Allow care providers to access federal infrastructure funding in order to modernize aging care homes across Canada. ! Invest in a new standardized digital data collection system that would allow the federal government to better compare provinceby-province outcomes and quality of care. ! In partnership with the sector, develop a new panCanadian health human resources plan to meet a criti-

cal shortage of frontline care workers. “The increased challenges and complexities facing Canada’s care providers as a result of changing demographics is enormous,” said New Westminster resident Daniel Fontaine, who was recently elected chair of the Canadian Association for Long Term Care. “We have no doubt the federal government understands this challenge, and we need to be ready to take the next step in improving care by investing in better homes for residents to live in, and improved abilities for homes to measure outcomes.” The Canadian Association for Long Term Care is a national organization comprised of provincial associations and long-term care providers that deliver publicly funded health-care services for seniors across Canada. “We must also work to-

gether right across the country to ensure there is an adequate supply of workers in the long-term care sector,” Fontaine added. “Without a coordinated effort, we simply will not have the ability to recruit and retain adequate numbers of workers

… we need to be ready to take the next step in improving care…

to take care of Canada’s seniors over the next decade.” According to the association, Statistics Canada anticipates the number of seniors aged 65 and older will rise by 25 per cent by 2035, and the number of seniors aged 80 and older will double between 2011 and 2036.

Community Kenyan high commissioner speaks at New West dinner tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Lorrie Williams recently recruited Kenya’s high commissioner to attend a special dinner in the Royal City. John Lanyasunya, Kenya’s high commissioner to Canada, attended a dinner at St. Barnabas Church on March 8 in honour of International Women’s Day. More than 60 people attended the event that also included a silent auction and a raffle. Long before becoming a city councillor,Williams founded the Canadian Harambee Education Society (CHES) to help improve the quality of life of women and their communities in Kenya and Tanzania by providing secondary education scholarships for girls who couldn’t afford to pay secondary school fees. When she learned Lanyasunya would be in Vancouver to attend the World Rugby Sevens Series, she invit-

A COMMUNITY MOURNS A man known to Record readers for his colourful opinions on a variety of issues recently passed away from cancer. While E.C. (Ted) Eddy moved to Coquitlam a few years ago, his heart remained in the Royal City, where he was involved in groups like the Quayside Community Board and the Hyack Festival Association. “He was part of the Hyack membership,” says friend Maureen Albanese. “He always used to have his T-Bird in the Hyack Parade. He had a convertible T-Bird. Continued on page 42

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

How will the annual 2% speculation tax affect our market in 2018?

The province’s brain child “the speculation tax” will definitely affect some British Columbians. It was announced in March, however it will not be finalized until fall. This will have people owning two properties, a vacation home DERRICK THORNHILL and a principal residence, second guessing Park Georgia Realty themselves as to whether to sell the vacation home now to avoid the impending tax and take advantage of the spring / summer market or sell their principal residence a few years earlier than planned. Some may choose to move ahead with their retirement plans to occupy that vacation property ahead of the new tax burden. The result should be a run on sales of vacation properties throughout the province. If your timeline is right this could be a great year to pick up that second property, pull the plug on the big smoke and sail into retirement at little ahead of schedule. If you are in this position and are considering selling your principal residence, feel free to give me a call!

Q A

We are considering removing our kitchen/ dining room wall. Is this possible?

Any wall can be removed. There are factors that affect the difficulty and cost of the job. One factor, JACOB NEUFELD is what’s inside the wall? Air ducts, Owner Operator plumbing pipes, gas lines, and electrical wires are all things to be aware of when removing a wall. Most important - Is it a load bearing wall? Walls that hold up your house are called bearing walls. The rest of the walls, the partition walls, are simply there to divide rooms. If the wall is load bearing, you have to take special precautions to support the structure. Ceiling or floor joists that are spliced over a wall, or end at a wall, mean the wall is bearing. If you’re not sure, hire a contractor or structural engineer to help you figure it out.

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

My cat is scratching from ﬂeas. What can I do to get rid of them?

Talk to your veterinary team about liquid products that are applied to the skin on the back of the neck once a month. DR. MANJU ARORA These products are over-thecounter, and can be purchased without a prescription. This small amount of liquid kills fleas on contact and controls all flea life stages, and is waterproof. It is important to treat all pets in the household. Thoroughly clean your home and your cat’s bedding to eliminate flea eggs and larva. Cats and dogs can also scratch for many other reasons (such as allergies). If your pet continues to lick or scratch after a flea treatment, or if the skin does not look normal, book an appointment with your veterinarian.

Q A

Is Heart Disease still considered the leading killer or adults over 65?

Yes, according to the CDC, heart disease remains the leading killer of adults over age 65, accounting for 489,722 deaths in 2014. As a WENDY J SCOTT chronic condition, heart disease RN, BScN, MA affects 37 percent of men and 26 percent of women 65 and older. As people age, they’re increasingly living with risk factors, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol, that increase the chances of having a stroke or developing heart disease. Dr. Bernard’s advice for addressing this senior health risk not only helps with heart disease but can improve senior health across the board: “Exercise, eat well, get a good night’s rest. Eating well means eating in a fashion that will allow you to keep a healthy weight with a wellbalanced and healthy diet.” www.everydayhealth.com

Jr. ’Bellies bolster right side on eve of camp NewWest acquires Delta sniper with eye on Minto run

By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Everyone understood that the upcoming B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season would be a year of transition for the New Westminster Salmonbellies. You don’t take a franchise player like Connor Robinson out of the lineup – now graduated to the senior ranks – and not feel an impact. But the ’Bellies are making sure that ‘transition’ doesn’t exclude competing. With a few key off-season moves, including this week’s acquisition of standout righthander Tre Leclaire, New West has continued its commitment to be in the Minto Cup conversation and challenge Coquitlam for the provincial mantle. “You’re never going to replace a Connor Robinson, he’s also a generational type player,” New West general manager Warren Goss told the Record. “Now, what we’ve added in two players, righthanders, (players who) are going to really complement our strong left side.” Leclaire, 19, was acquired for New West’s 2019 first round midget pick and cash, a deal signed off on by new Islander general manager Matt Disher.The righthanded sniper, who sat out last year after making a splash in his freshman season with the Ohio State Buckeyes of the NCAA, has already established himself as a junior A impact player, finish- Zoned in: Newly acquired junior Salmonbellies’ Tre Leclaire, shown closing in for a shot with the Delta Islanders two years ago, is a big part of the club’s ing second in the league scoring race as a 16-yearoffence.

Hyacks grads a hit on gridiron recruiting circuit

By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

A few years ago, when Isaiah James was in Grade 9, it began to dawn on him he had a shot at playing football at the university level. That dream has come true for the New Westminster Hyacks lineman, and for several of his teammates. In the fall, James will be part of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies program after signing a letter of intent earlier this month. “In Grade 9, coach (Farhan) Lalji started talking about how I was more developed than the rest of the players in my class. He started saying I had a real shot at playing university ball, so it just really took off from there,” said James, who was a provincial allstar on offence and recorded 27 tackles and two sacks on defence as a senior. Two of the players he might end up going grill-to-grill this fall on the gridiron were teammates on the 2017 B.C. high school AAA championship.The team’s most valuable player Sammy Sidhu and best back award winner Sebastien Reid are heading to the University of Calgary Dinosaurs. Sidhu was a provincial all-star and a Ca-

nadian Football Chat second-team allCanadian. He rushed for 1,077 yards and scored 15 touchdowns as a running back, and had 86 tackles and two quarterback sacks on defence. Reid was also a provincial all-star and a CFC first-team all-Canadian, racking up 1,862 all-purpose yards in his lone year as a Hyack, including 910 in kick returns. As a defensive back, he made 30 tackles and led the province with seven interceptions. The team’s Sidoo Family scholarship winner, tight end and linebacker Finn Stark, has also found a great landing spot, signing with the University of Toronto Blues. In addition to his exceptional blocking, Stark averaged 24.6 yards per catch and scored four touchdowns. Running back Lucas Sabau, who scored the decisive two-point convert on the final play of the B.C. final, is sticking close to home at Simon Fraser University. In two seasons with the varsity Hyacks he had 1,677 rushing yards and 15 TDs, and was a provincial all-star in 2016. Sabau will be joined at SFU by a former Hyack, defensive back Rochon Bhattacharya, who graduated in 2016 and played the last two seasons at West Hills Junior College

Signs of the times: The New Westminster Hyacks’ graduating class are committed to good programs going forward; from left, Isaiah James (University of Saskatchewan), Sebastien Reid and Sammy Sidhu (University of Calgary), Lucas Sabau and 2016 NWSS alum Rochon Bhattacharya (SFU) and Finn Stark (University of Toronto).

in Coalinga, California. “It’s safe to say this is our biggest number, but it’s a championship class and when you have that kind of team success then the individual goals and achievement start to follow,” Lalji told the Record. “(Being a championship team) helps on a number of levels because you get more attention for your program; there’s more collegiate scouts coming to the big games and paying attention to what you’re doing. ” The six-foot, 270-pound James weighed an offer from another Husky squad, Saint

Mary’s University in Halifax. But ultimately Saskatchewan, where he has a few friends on the team and is closer to home, won out. “I love the team aspect of (football). All my best friends right now I played football with and are going off to university,” said James. “It’s a real roller coaster ride when you’re playing against a good team, too.” His new head coach is Scott Flory, a Saskatchewan native who was a CFL all-star lineman with the Montreal Alouettes. Flory was sold after sitting down with Continued on page 44

Continued from page 43 James and his mother to find out what makes the big kid tick. “He’s an outstanding young man, first and foremost.That’s important to me as a coach in recruiting,” said Flory. “He’s got talent and tenacity on the field as well. I’m looking for a guy that loves football.That’s kind of the No. 1 criteria I’m looking for.” Lalji said Sidhu, who intends to study engineering, had a lot of choices because of his academic marks. “They’re both (Sidhu

and Reid) very good athletes.We’ve been watching them for the past couple of years,” said Dinos coach Wayne Harris. “We know the program there has been extremely strong. “Sebastien is very athletic and fast, a great returner. He should be a great defensive back for us as well. Sammy is very explosive. As a football player and a provincial champion in wrestling, he just shows that toughness and physicality to be able to play at the (Canadian university) level.” Lalji said James being the

first Hyack to Saskatchewan and Stark the first to U of T is the latest evidence of how much Canadian schools are paying attention to the New West program. “Truthfully, we’ve always had a lot of attention. It just so happens those players chose those schools. Saskatchewan has recruited our kids before,Toronto has recruited our kids before. It just so happened to work out those are the first kids we have signed with those programs. Both of those kids had other options as well,” said Lalji.

Royals battle hard in nat ﬁnal It was the best of times, it was the secondbest of times. The Douglas College Royals finished an incredible season with a run to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s men’s basketball championship final, falling to the Seneca College Sting 86-73 two weeks ago. Leading by three after one quarter and a single point at halftime, the New Westbased Royals saw Seneca make its move with a strong third quarter, where the Toronto team outscored Douglas 30-22 to grab a seven-point advantage. In the final quarter, the B.C. champi-

ons put it all on the line and pulled within two points, 71-69, before the Sting regained momentum for its first national title. The Royals got 20 points and seven rebounds from Burnaby native Reese Morris, while Kameron Johnson counted 18 points. Both were named to the first all-star team. Contributing eight points and 13 boards was second all-star team selection Noah DeRappard-Yuswack. In the semifinal, Douglas dropped Montmerency 93-87, thanks to a huge third quarter where they outscored the Quebec champion 31-15.
