New West eyes history with sister city plan Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is hoping to become the first Canadian city to establish a sister city relationship with a First Nations community. On Monday, council unanimously approved a motion authorizing the mayor and city clerk to sign agreements to bind the city into a sister community relationship with the Tl’etinqox (Anaham) government, if an agreement is accepted by that government.While Chief Joe Alphonse, tribunal chief of the Tl’etinqox government, has expressed interest in a relationship with New West, it still needs to be voted on by the Tl’etinqox government. “This is a Canadian first,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy. “This is the first time a Canadian municipality has adopted a sister city-type relationship with a First Nations community. It’s another New Westminster first – not officially yet, but it’s about to be. I think we can be proud of that, but the real thing is to carry on that relationship and carry on that reconciliation work on an ongoing basis, which this will do.” Mayor Jonathan Cote said New Westminster has several sister cities in different countries, but this would be unique because it’s dealing with a First Nations community in British Columbia. He said the “historic” sister city relationship would really connect to the

truth and reconciliation process that the city is currently going through. “I think it’s going to be a meaningful way that we can engage in the discussion about truth and reconciliation and our relations with First Nations communities that are living in New Westminster but also outside the city in the province of British Columbia,” Cote said. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who spearheaded the idea, said the motion ensures resources are available to send a small delegation to Anaham to sign an agreement or to cover expenses so a delegation can come to New West.The city anticipates a one-day trip to sign the agreement would cost $2,000 for a delegation. “I should add that Tl’etinqox was hard hit by the fires in 2017, when we brought them the fire truck,” Puchmayr said. “They suffered huge costs.” Puchmayr has visited the community in the Chilcotin to help deliver police cars and a fire truck that were no longer needed in New West. “I think we have such a unique opportunity to be reaching out, as opposed to across the ocean, just across the province and creating these relationships.There is so much we can do.We are so much closer.We can be more interactive in what we do with sister city relationship,” he said. “Reconciliation is one of the most difficult things. There is no real textbook on reconciliation.”

Trustee retiring after 39 years

Michael Ewen leaves a profound legacy on the NewWestminster school district ! Story by Cayley Dobie

ichael Ewen was 24 years old when he first ran for the New Westminster school board. He was in university and dreamed of being elected to the legislature. School board was his first stepping stone. But Ewen lost. It was his one and only election loss, and, after 39 years on the New Westminster school board, he’s ready to retire. NEW WESTMINSTER ALL HIS LIFE Ewen was born and raised in the Royal City. He attended Richard McBride Elementary School and graduated from New Westminster Secondary School in 1972. He even studied at Douglas College. “I was actually taking a master’s degree in working class history and was planning to go work in the labour movement and go into politics – that was the goal,” he said. His first shot at public office came in 1978 when NDP MLA Dennis Cocke approached him about running for city council. But Ewen didn’t want to run for city council; it didn’t interest him, so he opted for school board. In the late ’70s and early ’80s, the New Westminster school district was a small district with eight elementary schools and one high school, and it was suffering from declining enrolment.There was even talk of closing three of the city’s smaller schools – Connaught Heights, F.W. Howay and Hume Park, according to Ewen. At the board level, like other school districts in the province, the role of the trustees was simple: oversee the administration of the district and let the superintendent do the rest, and superintendents were assigned to school districts by the Ministry of Education. “It was very much an administration-driven system,” Ewen said. But not everyone was happy with how the education system was run, and some districts, including New Westminster, started to push for change. A SECOND CHANCE Ewen’s second chance at a spot on the New Westminster school board came in 1979, one year after his failed attempt. (Back then, school board elections took place every year, alternating between three trustees one year and four the other year.) With dreams of becoming an MLA still top of mind, Ewen put his hat in for the ’79 race.This time, he won. He was 25 years old. “I was actually the secondyoungest person ever elected in the province – the youngest was 23,” he laughed. Back then, trustees were just beginning to flex their muscles, and

he and his fellow trustees, including eventual New Westminster MLA Anita Hagen, were looking for a way to make the community the focus of the public education system, he said. “The large districts – Vancouver, Surrey – had been given permission to hire their own superintendents, and New Westminster, at that point, had an appointee from Victoria,” he added. So the New Westminster school board asked the provincial government for permission to hire its own superintendent, and the province agreed. It was the second superintendent hired by the board that would be a game-changer for education in the city, according to Ewen. Mary Lyons wasn’t a typical choice for superintendent; she was a woman, and she wasn’t an administrator – she was an educator, Ewen said. “It changed things significantly. I think the thought back then was the districts needed to be run, and the learning part was left up to the schools and the teachers; it wasn’t so much a school district function,” he said. HIS NEW LOVE Ewen didn’t expect, when he started his tenure as trustee, to love education as much as he did. His father was a principal in Burnaby and had warned him not to go into education, but Ewen didn’t listen. Being a trustee was an exciting experience, one that provided Ewen with an opportunity to get a hands-on appreciation for education. “I got into the schools, I liked what I saw, I thought it looked like fun.Turns out it is fun,” he said. Two years after he became

a school trustee, Ewen started teaching elementary school in Surrey, and 37 years later, he’s still there. Ewen’s passion and love of education have served him well as a school trustee and teacher. Even when the opportunity finally came for him to run for MLA, Ewen declined and instead continued to serve as a trustee. LEADERS IN EDUCATION “People don’t realize that New Westminster has been on the cutting edge of education in the province,” Ewen said. One thing he is particularly proud of is how the school district has embraced alternate programs. Currently, the school district offers three alternate programs in New Westminster – POWER Alternate Secondary School, SIGMA (ages 16 to 18) and the Royal City Alternate program (for ages 13 to 16). While other districts, according to Ewen, saw alternate programs as a temporary solution for struggling or troublesome students where they could go “get fixed and go back to the real school,” New Westminster didn’t. “And at that point, in the ’80s and ’90s in particular and early 2000s, that was the common model,” he said. “Whereas our approach was always: ‘who cares how you graduate?’” Being on the “cutting edge” still comes with its share of challenges, according to Ewen. One of his biggest frustrations has been, and still is, the school board’s “struggle to encourage change and adaptation” throughout the entire district. “We’ve done it mostly through alternate programs,” he said.

Programs like the district’s outdoor school, the brainchild of former New Westminster Teachers’ Union president Grant Osborne, and the fine arts mini-school offered at the high school were passion projects led by teachers, Ewen said, and many were disbanded when teachers left or funding got tight. SCHOOL BOARD POWER Ewen served the majority of his time as trustee during a period when the school board held the balance of power in the district.They had the ability to hire and fire, if needed, and trustees weren’t afraid to ask questions of administration or overrule them. One instance stands out in Ewen’s mind. In 2013, at the peak of the district’s financial woes (when it owed $2.8 million from the 2012 school year and was anticipating a $1 million deficit), district staff recommended the board cut elementary band from the city’s westside schools until a new middle school was built. The school board opposed the recommendation and voted unanimously to keep the programs. This kind of push-back is something Ewen thinks is missing at the school board these days. He wants to see trustees hold administration accountable when it’s needed. WORDS OF WISDOM As Ewen prepares for his final month-and-a-half as a school trustee, he admits being a trustee today is very different than it was in 1979. “It fundamentally changed in the 1990s,” he said. Everything became partisan, and the “old days” when politi-

cians of all stripes would criticize each other for hours before heading out for a beer were gone, he said. And things have only gotten worse since 2001, when things became “hyper-partisan,” he added. “I remember getting called in to Joyce Murray’s office, called in as chair of the board, and she railed against a single trustee – not chair or vice-chair, but a trustee who had been critical of the government, and that was just beyond the pale.That just never happened,” he said. Since then, he’s watched the power dynamic between the board and senior admin shift and the cooperative model he and other trustees built slowly degrade. And while he’s confident the new senior admin team – led by superintendent Karim Hachlaf – is ready to work collaboratively, he’s not sure how eager the new trustees are to ask hard questions. “The last four years haven’t been as much fun and as productive, from my perspective.They’ve worked well for the school board, but I have a different view of trusteeship than the majority of the board, and that’s fine. I can live with that,” he said. ‘SPAWN OF THE DEVIL’ So what does a 39-year school trustee do when he retires? Spend more time with his two loves – his family and his garden, of course. “There are two or three things happening at the same time: I’m looking to retire as a teacher sometime this year, and I think it’s a nice transition,” he said. But just because he’s retiring doesn’t mean he’ll ride off into some sunset, he said. He’s already looking forward to the election race and is excited to see a new and diverse group of trustee candidates step forward. “I look at the people who are running, and I think it’s a good cross-section of the community, it’s a good representation of the community,” he said. As for legacy, Ewen admits not everyone thinks of him fondly. One fellow trustee went so far as to call him the “spawn of the devil,” he recalled. “I’ve generated a lot of negativity over the years, and a lot of support, too, but a lot of negativity because people look at one person and go, ‘You know that Michael Ewen,’” he said. But he can’t help it. “I can be combative,” he admitted. “I’m passionate about kids and learning and providing support for their learning. I’m passionate about making sure teachers and support staff have the tools to do the jobs. I don’t think we should ever apologize for being passionate.”

City Mayor, councillor debunk report on city spending Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new report by the Fraser Institute states that the City of New Westminster spends more per person than many cities in Metro Vancouver, but city officials say the report is flawed as it doesn’t consider the “oddity” that is the city’s electrical utility. The report, Comparing Municipal Government Finances in Metro Vancouver, 2018, compared 17 of 21 municipalities in Metro Vancouver on a number of factors, including government spending, revenue and debt. The Fraser Institute claimed that West Vancouver had the highest level of government spending in 2016 at $2,583 per person, followed by New Westminster at $2,225 and Vancouver at $1,944, while Surrey was the lowest at $1,057. But Mayor Jonathan Cote said the report’s numbers are inaccurate because it doesn’t take into account the city’s electrical department. He said New Westminster “has the oddity” of being the only municipality in the region that runs its own electrical utility. “If we were to include BC Hydro’s costs in all of the other municipalities, you would see that New Westminster’s position on the graph in spending would actually be much more in the middle of the pack,” he said. “I think that’s just

an oversight that the Fraser Institute was not aware of, that we have that unique situation, but it really does skew the numbers quite significantly.” Cote acknowledged there are areas, such as policing and parks and recreation, where New Westminster spends more than the average of other municipalities to provide “enhanced” services for citizens. “Definitely having your own police force, we do know that you do pay a premium for that. But you do get a police force that is able to respond more to the local concerns and engage in the community than the communities that have an RCMP service,” he said. “We know that there is probably about a 10 per cent premium to having your own municipal police force, but in my opinion I think that’s a premium that has good value in our community, and I think we are incredibly well served.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone voiced concern that the Fraser Institute puts “a patina of analysis” around the data but doesn’t provide any context for the data. “Putting numbers out does not help inform,” he said. “Actually putting context with numbers is where information comes from.” While there is value in making fair comparisons, Johnstone said that’s not the case with the Fraser Institute’s study. “Be aware if compariIf you’ve always wanted to be a backyard farmer but didn’t want the hassle of dealing with city hall, you’re in luck.

sons like this are comparing apples to apples – I guess that’s the message,” he said. “It does sometimes take a little extra work to do that comparison. I am happy to talk about our numbers. I think we do stand up really well. Our budget is comparable to other cities in the region. Unfortunately, analysis of this kind of thing is difficult because municipal budgeting is a complicated and arcane thing.” To be fair, Johnstone said the Fraser Institute would

need to dig deeper into the data and consider anomalies, like the electrical utility, in the municipalities. “Including the electrical utility with our expenses and our revenues does not allow an apples-to-apples comparison,” he said. “If you take the electrical utility out of it, then that provides a more fair comparison.” The Fraser Institute’s report, which used data from 2007 to 2016, included a summary of its analysis about New Westminster,

including developer fees (2007 to 2016) per new resident – $6,991. New Westminster ranked 16th.The Metro Vancouver average was $14,346. Johnstone said he isn’t surprised that New Westminster ranked low in terms of fees for development, given that the report was based on old data from 2007 to 2016. “It’s no secret that a decade ago New Westminster was very low in what it did as far as collecting den-

sity bonuses and amenities from developers. I think that is an identified problem that the city had, and it’s something that we have addressed. If you look at the 2016 data, you will find we are getting better.We have made changes on that in order to improve that,” he said. “We recognize that issue. I think what we are seeing here is a bit of a record from a decade ago when we really didn’t collect, honestly, enough fees.”

es greater than 108 square feet.While property owners will still need to comply with the B.C. Building Code when building greenhouses, the city believes that exempting the requirement for a building permit for hoop greenhouses provides

an incentive to support local food production. “We have resolved the 100-square-foot greenhouse space, so if you haven’t seen this already, look it up online and contact city hall and start building your greenhouses,” said Coun.

Opinion OUR VIEW

A little turnover will do New West some good

One of the big stories last week in NewWestminster was the announcement that two long-serving members of council were retiring. LorrieWilliams and Bill Harper said they will be retiring after a combined 29 years on city council. Many politicians are retiring across MetroVancouver.There’s been a wave of mayors who are stepping aside, including such heavy hitters as Gregor Robertson inVancouver, Linda Hepner in Surrey and Greg Moore in Port Coquitlam.

Some say they are just ready to move on, while others have cited the new four-year term as one of the main deciding factors – although, in some cases, perhaps bad polling numbers are really the blame (looking at you, Mayor Moonbeam). Adding that extra year has meant a much larger commitment from civic politicians. Civic politics is one of those areas in which members of council can often stay in office as long as they like – some for decades. In NewWestminster, school

Civic politics is one of those areas in which members of council can often stay in office as long as they like. trustee Michael Ewen is retiring after serving in office since 1978. Civic politicians stay in office for long periods for several reasons. One is that they might simply be doing a great job and voters like them. But it can also be a matter of chronically low

voter turnouts. Name recognition is a powerful thing, and it can be difficult for new candidates to get their name out there with voters. It’s really difficult for new candidates to topple incumbents, unless there is that one issue that polarizes enough people to make

a change. Incumbents hold the advantage because their role means they are everywhere, year after year. There’s something to be said for having experienced politicians being re-elected to run a city.That kind of consistency can be good. With so many mayors not running, the MetroVancouver regional government in particular could probably use some experienced mayors staying on. But there’s also a crying need for new blood to come on board every election.

Which is what was so impressive about what Coun. Williams said when she made her announcement. “You look at your life and think, maybe it’s time. It’s been 16 years, five elections.When you think about that, you think that is a long time,”Williams told the Record. “There are some awfully good people in New Westminster. I don’t mind making room for them.” Oh, if you read this and think we need term limits – that’s a drastic step we don’t support.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

We need some entrance music In the aftermath of June’s long public hearing into the women’s modular housing project in Queensborough, people were speaking out about how changes were needed by NewWestminster city council in how people interacted with it. Apparently some who came to support the project changed their minds because they felt intimidated by members of the audience. I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what happened, and this column isn’t about that night. Frankly, from what I’ve seen and from what reporter Theresa McManus has told me, NewWest council is one of the friendlier groups of politicians out there. I attended one of Mayor Jonathan Cote’s affordable housing events, and it was about as user-friendly a civic event as I’d ever seen. What the comments about the public hearing did bring up is an issue I’ve thought about ever since I started covering public meetings waaaaaaaay back in 1989. It’s about how many politicians forget just how intimidating it is for a citizen to approach their government representatives in the public realm. So many times I’ve watched as nervous citizens walk up to the microphone and face stone-faced politicians who look about as welcoming as my daughter does when I ask if I can come into her bedroom to talk about her boyfriend. I’ve seen people’s hands shake as they hold a piece of paper with their notes.

Public speaking is rough at the best of times, but when you’re pleading with municipal politicians to not pave over farmland or begging them to approve a new recreation proposal, it’s that much tougher. Council members are usually seated in a half-circle behind microphones – often with the mayor sitting higher than everyone. I’m told that New West actually redesigned the council chambers so the mayor and councillors sit at the same level as the public. It’s symbolic, but it’s a good kind of symbolic. An intimidating atmosphere is one reason why some people avoid approaching councils. I’ve rarely ever seen a politician extend a courtesy smile or words of encouragement for nervous-looking speakers. It’s probably because they don’t want to come across as being biased, although I’m sure some like that sense of control. My heart sometimes breaks for the people struggling to express themselves. I wish more could be done to make these events more welcoming. I joked on Twitter that each speaker should get to pick their own entrance music.Who wouldn’t get pumped up listening to their favourite jam as they walked up to the microphone? It’ll never happen, but something needs to be done to produce the kind of atmosphere in which citizens feel freer to take part in the democratic process. Follow Chris Campbell @shinebox44.

Too many girls fighting The first rule of fight club is don’t let the principal find out. Three separate fights over a period of two weeks led to the suspension of eight girls at New Westminster Secondary. One of the fights – in the smoking pit, and over a boy -involved a knife, but no one was injured. Principal Alasdair MacKinnon was near the scene and saw the brouhaha begin. Two weeks earlier, six girls were banished after a scuffle between six girls broke out in the Moody Park Arena parking lot.

Letters City is doing a great job with the Quay planters Editor: I am writing today to congratulate the City of New Westminster gardening department for the wonderful work they do year after year and season after season with the planters on the Quay. We (my husband and I) have lived on the Quay for three-plus years, and from the day we first walked the Quay, we both remarked at the terrific colour and imagination used by the gardeners who work tirelessly planting bulbs and then changing everything over as the seasons change. It is a remarkable undertaking that has to be done by workers who love their jobs. I don’t have any idea who or when the decision was made to spend the money and the manpower providing the enjoyment for everyone who jogs, rides, power walks or simply saunters the boardwalk for the pure enjoyment of being able to follow the mighty Fraser River for a couple of kilometres and get a bit of exercise and maybe a cup of coffee at the River Market, too. Thank you, New Westminster city gardeners, your diligent work is not going unnoticed by this lucky stroller. Lesley Gilchrist, New Westminster

Floralume looks like it’s fromWar of theWorlds Editor: Re: Floralume added to Front Street staircase, Record, Aug. 16 I see the $70,000 was well-spent dressing up

the abhorrent Front Street emergency escape stairwell. I guess a leftover set piece from the movie War of the Worlds was available? That’s on top of the $200,000-plus it cost to build that behemoth. No worries though – the mayor and council are watching the purse strings fastidiously. What’s that? You say your property taxes went up this year? That’s because they are spending our money on all the things you would expect them to be spending on, such as roads. By their own admission (in 2017), they confirmed the road infrastructure was being neglected and still very little is being done. The emergency escape stairwell on Front Street sat unserviceable for almost a year. A true emergency escape would never be non-serviceable. The city spent (money) tearing down half the parkade because I guess one half was an eyesore but not the other half? I suppose spending a couple hundred thousand on that emergency escape that sat unused for so long will look so much better. This whole debacle demonstrates the detrimental effects of this mayor and council. They solicit for an increased and secured line of credit so that they may have the funds to spend at whim on items of little to no practical need. The effect on us is higher property taxes to pay for this nonsense. This mayor and council continue to show little regard for the taxpayer. Devon Webb, New Westminster *Editor’s note: According to the City of New Westminter, because it demolished the western portion of the Front Street parkade, it was required to replace the existing fire exit ramp and stairs for the adjacent building in order to comply with the building code.

City Puchmayr to seek seventh term

City is looking for more diversity on committees

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr is hoping seven is his lucky number. The incumbent councillor has announced his name will once again be on the ballot when voters go to the polls in the Oct. 20 municipal election. He served as a councillor from 1996 to 2005, was New Westminster’s MLA from 2005 to 2009, and after retiring from politics following a lifesaving liver transplant in January 2008, was re-elected to council in the 2011 and 2014 civic elections. “I feel really healthy. It’s almost 10 years on gifted time.What better thing to do than to continue to give back to your community?” he told the Record. “I feel that I have been very effective, and I have a lot of support from the community to continue.” If elected to another fouryear term in October, Puchmayr would be the current longest serving member of city council at 20 years. He said there are still is-

Now and then: Having served on city council for 16 years, incumbent Coun. Chuck Puchmayr is hoping to be re-elected for another four-year term in the fall civic election. He’ll soon be dusting off old signs, including this one from the 2011 election. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

sues he’d like to take on as a councillor, such as helping to establish a sister community relationship with the Tl’etinqox government and increasing the availability of city data. “We have been working very hard on open government.We actually won a national award for our work on open government,” he said.

“I want to continue that. When I leave council, I would like to have a government in place that is a government that a citizen would like to see.That’s one that has full disclosure and openness, and easy access to data.Whether it’s comfortable or whether it’s uncomfortable data regardless is irrelevant. I think that the citizens deserve an open

government.” Having worked on “dysfunctional” and divided councils in the past, Puchmayr said he’s “very concerned” about the new New West Progressives slate and the impact that some of its candidates it could have on the city. Puchmayr said he’s proud to be endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council.

New Westminster residents applying to serve on city committees in 2019 may find they’re being asked to provide more personal information than in the past – and here’s why. In an effort to better reflect a diverse community, the city is taking steps to try and identify individuals from a variety of backgrounds for the city’s advisory committees. Staff suggested the recruitment form could ask applicants to identify their gender identity and their ethnic background, if they so desired. “My request is for more – more information about people,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy. “I think that involves tick boxes or something like that.” While the steps outlined by staff may help identify applicants from various cultural communities, McEvoy said it doesn’t indicate if a person is disabled or is LGBTQ, which socioeconomic category they fit into or whether they’re renters or homeowners.

“My request is that it be more specific in allowing people to provide more information about themselves so that when we are appointing our committees we can strive to achieve, with better information, that those committees start to look like the community as a whole,” he said. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he wants the forms to be clear that the information is being collected solely for the purpose of helping the city address the issue of diversity on committees. “I think it’s an important first step,” he said. “I think this is not the entire job to be making sure that our committees represent our community, but we have to start collecting this data or we are not going to get anywhere as far as moving in that direction.” In February, council approved a motion by Coun. Chuck Puchmayr that the city allow for a minimum of one First Nations representative per committee.

City B.C. Pen history restored Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster unveiled a piece of its “hidden history” this week. The city held a ceremony on Wednesday commemorating the unveiling of the newly restored B.C. Penitentiary Cemetery, which is located near 245 Francis Way in the Victoria Hill neighbourhood. “The B.C. Penitentiary Cemetery is a bit of hidden history in New Westminster,” said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy, chair of the B.C. Penitentiary Cemetery task force. “We want to acknowledge the past, educate, and inform future generations of those buried here and fulfil our municipal responsibility of maintaining our cemeteries.” For the past two years,

the city’s task force has been working to uncover the history hidden on this site that has remained inaccessible for several years as a result of construction in the Victoria Hill site.With construction completed and a new public path installed to access the cemetery, the city created a task force to oversee the physical restoration of the cemetery. In addition to identifying the locations of many unmarked graves, the project included removing, hand cleaning and reinstalling headstones. The B.C. Penitentiary, which was a federal prison that operated in New Westminster from 1878 to 1980, is located in the Glenbrook Ravine parklands. According to a press release from the city, the cemetery was established in 1913 for burials of inmates

who were not claimed by family or friends. Burials continued here until 1968. At the unveiling event, guests were able tour the restored cemetery, discuss the history of the site with McEvoy and city staff and view the newly installed interpretive signage. The New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society included the cemetery at the former B.C. Penitentiary on its list of the Top 10 endangered sites in the city in 2007. McEvoy, who was a heritage researcher and director with the heritage preservation society at the time, compiled the list. The path to access the cemetery begins 135 metres south of the intersection of Memorial Drive and Francis Way, which is behind the Parkside tower in the Victoria Hill neighbourhood.

The New Westminsterbased college is putting an end to smoking on campus starting Sept. 1.The ban will extend to chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes, vaping and cannabis and include the New Westminster and Coquitlam campuses, as well as Douglas College’s training centres, parkades and parking lots. “We are dedicated to providing a healthy and safe environment for both employees and students, as well as the community around Douglas.This change lets us join the growing ranks of public institutions that are going smoke-free,” said Nancy Constable, director

of safety, security and risk management, in a press release. The decision comes after a campus-wide survey revealed more than 75 per cent of respondents were bothered by secondhand smoke, while 23 per cent of smokers who responded said they wanted to quit, according to the press release. Douglas College plans to support smokers looking to quit by providing them information on smoking cessation programs. Currently, smoking is allowed in designated areas on campus. The new policy would see these designated areas removed. The ban would not include burning substances for Aboriginal and cultural purposes (i.e. smudging),

notes the release. A facts sheet provided by Douglas College recommends students who must smoke go off campus to do so. However, it encourages smokers to exercise caution, especially at night, and to stay in groups and in welllit areas. People caught smoking on Douglas College property or on campus after Sept. 1 will be asked to stop or leave the property. If they refuse, they could be found in contravention of the student conduct policy, which could result in sanctions including suspension, community service, educational sanctions, restitution or verbal and written apologies. There is no monetary fine.

More words start with the letter ‘S’ than any other letter. But if you have a hearing loss it can feel as though those words have been removed from your hearing dictionary.

Arts & Entertainment Vagabond actor living out his Hollywood dream Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Boris Bilic was a 16-yearold high school student when he started making the pages of this newspaper. He was a student in Richmond at the time but quickly became an active part of New Westminster’s theatre community when he started working with Vagabond Players – with roles in the comedy Alone Together and the Shakespearean romp Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) in 2014. There, the young actor met people who would become some of his closest friends, with whom he went on to form Alchemy Theatre and stage Shakespearean productions at the Vagabond Players’ Bernie Legge Theatre in the summertime. With Alchemy, he had a chance to play Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 2015, which he lists as his “all-time favourite” role. With his New Westminster acting experience under his belt, Bilic headed off to Los Angeles, where he studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts – which boasts a long list of Hollywood luminaries among its alumni. Now the just-turned-21year-old Bilic is living in L.A. to pursue his acting career full-time. He has already landed the lead role in two feature films – one of which is premiering on Amazon Prime later this year and the other of which has been submitted for the Toronto International Film Festival. His own short film, No Surprises, also just earned a few awards in its first festival, the Festigious Film Fest – including a nod for Bilic for Best Original Story, one for Audi Finn for Best Ac-

tress in an Indie Film, and an honourable mention for Ben Fisher for Best Actor in an Indie Film. “It’s super humbling, and it makes (me) even more excited to see where the movie goes in the future,” Bilic wrote in an email. He corresponded with the Record by email from his home in L.A. An edited version of that interview appears below. (For the full version, see www.tinyurl. com/BorisBilicNW.) How did those experiences onstage in New Westminster help you grow and develop as a performer? Until I found Vagabond, the only things I had acted in were my high school drama club and an acting workshop I was taking at the Gateway Theatre for a few years. Getting the chance to act in a professional environment and with people who weren’t always my own age and were much more experienced than me was both extremely challenging and extremely beneficial.… As someone who had hardly auditioned for anything and now does it on a regular basis, I had no idea what I was doing. … I almost didn’t go to my first audition altogether. New Westminster was 30 minutes from where I lived at the time and I just kept coming up with excuses. … But the act of not letting myself think about it anymore and just doing it was the best thing I could have done, and it showed!.The director later told me that I was the best person to read for him that day. Getting over that initial fear of putting myself out there started a drive in me that’s been steadily gaining momentum

ever since. What made you decide to make the permanent move to L.A.? How did you feel about the idea of leaving Canada? My parents helped me enormously. It was never even really something I even considered was possible as a career, or something you could study in an actual accredited university until late in high school. Obviously it was intimidating at first, but I have some of the most supportive friends in the world, and they really made sure that I knew I was doing the right thing. I felt really confident. How did you find the two films that you’re playing the lead in? Can you give us any details

about them? The first film I’m playing the lead in is called Afterthought, and it’s a coming-of-age story about a juvenile delinquent who becomes jealous of his best friend getting her life together, and I get to play the villain, Avery, who’s the son of a wealthy music producer, a real Draco Malfoy type.That one will be getting released on Amazon Prime later this year, and is aiming to do a run at TIFF and Sundance in 2019.The trailer is available now on Youtube.The other is called Survival Box, and I can’t say too much about the plot unfortunately, but it’s been submitted for TIFF 2018, and my character,Travis, is much more of a comic relief, and very different to the one I play in Afterthought,

which was a real treat. Is L.A. what you expected? Harder or easier than you thought it would be? A bit of both. It’s definitely much harder in the sense that you can never get a sense of how competitive it truly is, because it’s almost a case of being in the centre of it all and not seeing how far the forest goes. But I guess that also makes it feel easier, because, like I said, I’m just trying to focus on my goals and my ambitions, and by taking it one project at a time, I feel like I’m going at a really good pace. What’s your acting dream? What’s the one thing you could achieve that would make you say, “Now I’ve made it!”?

I have hundreds of ideas of things I want to make, and projects I want to be a part of, and people I want to work with, and I know that those things are always going to be there. As long as I’m on the right path and enjoying the journey and not giving up, I consider it a success. If I had to choose one thing though, the big dream is to be in the Marvel cinematic universe. However, if being an actor has taught me anything, it’s to be appreciative of the moment, celebrate every achievement and learn from every loss, regardless of how big or small. I think just the act of following a dream is “making it,” so I guess I am living the acting dream. Find out more about Boris at his website, www.boris bilic.com.

Arts & Entertainment Art explores trauma and healing

A new perspective: Work by Suzanne Laird is on display at the Gallery at Queen’s Park from Sept. 5 to 30. An opening reception is set for Wednesday, Sept. 5.

Suzanne Laird looks at issues through a feminist lens in new exhibition Artist Suzanne Laird wants to shift perspective from a place of pain and hurt to one of healing. Laird’s work is on display in Shift, a new exhibition at The Gallery at Queen’s Park, running from Wednesday, Sept. 5 to Sunday, Sept. 30. An opening reception is set for Sept. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Her work denotes tones of tension between fragility, vulnerability and strength, both in forms of subject matter and in the physicality of the materials,” said a press release from the Arts Council of New Westminster. “Explored through the lens of a feminist perspective, she uses art as a platform for sharing fragmented

narratives of trauma and its transformative aftermath.” Laird works in mixed media, primarily in textiles and plaster, with a combination of two- and three-dimensional works on display. Anyone interested in finding out more can also talk to Laird at the arts council’s next Inter/action event, set

for Sunday, Sept. 16 from 3 to 4 p.m. The Gallery at Queen’s Park is in Centennial Lodge. It’s open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m. and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, see www.artscouncilnewwest. org or call 604-525-3244.

Time to tame tech-addicted tots Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

“When you were a kid, what did you do for fun?” NatureValley posed this question to three generations of “real families” in a hard-hitting commercial that aired in 2015 and has worked its way back into the viral video rotation on Facebook. In response to the question, grandmas and grandpas offer endearing tales of blueberry picking and fishing. Moms and dads share their stories of playing street hockey and fort building outdoors. And then – cue the record scratch – today’s generation of children are asked the same question. Their response? A jolting unanimous vote for video games. In the commercial, one teenaged boy even shares, “Whenever I feel upset, I play video games, and I feel normal. It’s really wonderful!” In viewing his response (on a tablet nonetheless), the boy’s mom

and grandfather wipe tears from their eyes.You can see it on their faces, and the sorrow seems to seep through the screen to us guilt-ridden parents who are watching in awe through our own devices. The message is received loud and clear: we, as a generation, are failing our children. Just when you think you’ve lost all hope in humankind, the final words glow across the screen against the background of a young boy galavanting gleefully through the woods: “Nature has always been a part of childhood. Let’s make sure it doesn’t stop with us.” Great marketing, but an even greater message. When I first watched the ad, I immediately felt guilty. I wondered to myself: Is that what my children would say if asked the same question? Am I letting them have too much screen time, and, more dreadfully, are they sharing this reality with others? I was surprised by the

reactions of other viewers when scrolling through the comment thread of the shared video.While I had assumed that other parents would react similarly, some of the viewers seemed to have completely missed the message. “It’s not even safe for children to be playing outside and doing the fun physical things that other generations had the opportunity to do.

We need to remember to unplug

This generation will become more and more isolated,” expresses one woman in a recent comment, totally off base and misinformed on the safety stats of today. “There were only three or four TV channels back then, and there was nothing else to do. Now there are so many, they don’t have to play outside!” shared another commenter, obviously the

result of a screen-raised generation. I know it’s just a wellcrafted ad, but it serves as a great reminder, not that our children have become helpless, tech-addicted robots, but that we, as the parents, need to regain control. It’s time to take away the screens and send them outside to play. I think that special connection with nature many of us experienced as children still exists today; it’s just that, as parents, we’ve been presented with more obstacles, that have hindered our efforts to keep that connection strong for our kids. There are great benefits that come with technology, but it has also become all-consuming – not only for our kids, but for us as parents, too.We need to remember to unplug and put more effort into nurturing that much-needed connection with nature. For our kids and for ourselves. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Celebrating Seniors

What do care workers need in our aging society? Maria Rantanen

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Cities are getting older, and researchers at SFU are trying to start conversations about how to deal with an aging population and the workers who will look after them. The study, entitled Workers in the Aging City, is looking at the “development and conditions of work in the eldercare sectors” both in Vancouver and Shanghai and is being led by Kendra Strauss, an associate professor and director of the labour studies program at the Burnaby Mountain university. The study is examining the work being done by inhome caregivers, home support workers, residential assistants, care aides, community health workers and care assistants. Vancouver is an aging city – demographics show the number of residents older than 60 is increasing, which is resulting in pressure on

health-care labour. Currently, the majority of care aides are over 45 years old, immigrants and racialized women with few labour market options, Strauss pointed out. “We’re trying to see how Vancouver will try to cope with these circumstances in the long-term,” Strauss said. Even the high cost of real-estate is affecting residential care as pressure mounts on non-profits to sell their facilities to private, for-profit residential care providers that develop expensive, high-end care. The most vulnerable are low-income seniors and single women who don’t have any assets to pay for private care. China is also aging rapidly, Strauss pointed out, and the one-child policy that was in place from 1979 to 2015 has created a lot of stress on the tradition whereby children look after their aging parents and grandparents.Those adults who were the result of the

one-child policy are now often looking after two parents and four grandparents. There is also a lot of societal change as people move away from their families in rural areas into the cities like Shanghai. Strauss said she hopes this research will start a conversation about the delivery of seniors care – a vision for elder care. “It affects all of us – we’re all going to get old,” Strauss said. “(This study is) trying to move the conversation forward.” But, she added, it shouldn’t just be a conversation about throwing more money at the system, rather, a dialogue about creating a holistic system that targets money where it’s needed. The focus of the research is partly on wages, but it is about more than that. Other issues that have been identified are scheduling and contract flipping, whereby private care providers change contractors. But the elder-care system

Caregiving: Researchers at Simon Fraser University want to hear from health-care workers who work with seniors as part of a study called Workers in the Aging City. PHOTO THINKSTOCK

is expensive and requires adequate funding in order to provide care for an aging population. “If we don’t have a broadbased and fair tax system that provides services,

we end up paying in other ways,” Strauss said. Workers in the Aging City is two years into a fiveyear grant, funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities grant.

Strauss and her team of researchers are asking health-care workers to participate in their survey, which can be found at www. sfu.ca/eldercareworkers.

HYACKS Varsity & Junior Varsity

2018 Varsity Preview

VARSITY

You don’t defend a championship, you attack it. And that will be the mindset of the 2018 Hyacks, after capturing their first Subway Bowl AAA Varsity Provincial Championship. The team lost a small but extremely talented group of seniors, but still have a number of key starters returning this fall.

Three key players return to the offensive backfield: Kinsale Philip returns for his 3rd year as the Hyacks starting quarterback, while running backs Broxx Comia and Michael Kingsley were also impact players a year ago. Kingsley finished 2nd on the team in scoring last season with 7 TDs and led the Hyacks with 127 yards and 2 TDs in the Provincial Semi-final win. Expect the Hyacks to be more balanced this season, with receivers like AJ Chol and Zachery Northgraves.

Evan Nolli returns to anchor both the offensive and defensive lines. He will be joined by names such as sophomore Vishaan Narayan, Pavan Kainth and Daniel Dordevic. Philip, along with Shaye Rathjen and newcomer Titgol Jok will lead the linebacking corps. The secondary will be led by returning starters Comia and safety Arjun Bal. Greyson Planinsic along with newcomers Austin Galbraith, Isaiah Daniels and 3-4 others will make this an extremely deep and competitive group. Defensively this group should be every bit as good as last year’s unit. The Hyacks open the season ranked #3 in the Provincial rankings, in what should be a wide open year with as many as 5-6 teams with a legitimate chance to take home the crown. The majority of the current senior class has now won two provincial titles in the past three years, and hope to graduate in style, by once again winning their final game.

Festival salutes grandparents who are raising grandkids Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Folks of all ages are invited to celebrate International Grandparents Day in New Westminster. The Parent Support Services Society of B.C. is holding its fourth annual Grandparents’ Day Festival and Stroll on Sunday, Sept. 9 at River Market.The event, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., is a family event that includes live music, entertainment, kids’ games, community information tents and a fundraising walk and silent auction. “All families are welcome,” said Bella Cenezero, the society’s director of Circles and Community Development. “There are lots of events happening there, lots of resources for grandparents and children, activities for children.” While International Grandparents Day is a day to celebrate all grandparents, the society urges people to think about the growing number of grandparents

and other relatives who are taking on the role of parenting when the parents are unable to do so. The City of NewWestminster has proclaimed September as Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Month in the city, noting it’s estimated that more than 13,000 children in British Columbia are being raised by their grandparents or other relatives because their parents are unable to do so due to reasons such as death, mental health issues, substance misuse (including the current opioid epidemic), incarceration or violence in the home.While research shows that there are benefits to children being raised by relatives, the city’s resolution states that grandparents face grief, isolation, financial hardship and worry about how to provide long-term for their grandchildren. Cenezero said the provincial organization provides services for adults who are in a caregiving or parenting role, including grandparents, through its support

circles that are based on a self-help model. It also has a support line that grandparents who are raising grandchildren can call to get support and information about their rights and their responsibilities. “They really need that support because they are facing a lot of challenges,” she said. Grandparents who are raising their grandchildren may have a lack of financial resources and may need to go back to work after retiring. “They are dealing with their adult children who are unable to parent their grandchildren.They have

lost their support network – a lot of their peers don’t want to associate with them with having children around them.They have let go of their opportunity to enjoy

They have lost their support network …

their vacations or travels and they have to be looking after their grandchildren,” Cenezero said. “The grandchildren are also facing a lot of challenges and issues.They have lost their parents. A lot

of them are having some special needs or behavioural challenges.” According to the society, a 2009 survey found that these children have often experienced trauma, with 68 per cent of kids in grandparent-raising-grandchildren families having physical, emotional or behavioural challenges. A 2005 Canadian study found that one-third of grandparent-headed households with young children had annual incomes of less than $15,000. When the city was first asked to proclaim Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Month, Cote said he

was unaware of the large number of grandparents in that situation. “Often these children come from a variety of different circumstances but some come from very challenging circumstances,” he said. “We really appreciate your work and the support that is desperately needed for grandparents in this situation to be able to take on child-raising responsibilities.” For more about the event, visit www.grgstroll.ca or call 604-669-1616.The Grandparents Raising Grandchildren support line is at 604558-4740.

Workplace violence an issue for health-care employees Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Workplace violence isn’t much of an issue for most workers – but it’s still an issue that needs addressing in many fields. The latest call for better protection of workers from violence is in health care. The BC Nurses’ Union is calling for security in every unit at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam after two nurses were recently assaulted. One was treated for severe facial injuries while the other suffered head injuries after being sucker-punched. This is not a new request, though, as the nurses’ union has been asking for more help to prevent violence in the workplace for several years. The Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam has been identified as one of the four most violent work sites in health care, with patients

waiting who have been deemed too at-risk to be in public, or patients awaiting a diagnosis, explained Christine Sorensen, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union. “If they’re at-risk to the public, they’re at-risk to staff,” she said, adding that

If they’re at-risk to the public, they’re at-risk to staff

these are the most clinically challenged patients. “Nurses go to work with the intent to provide the best possible care.” Sorensen said the nurses from the forensic unit tell her that they see violence on every shift, from being pushed, yelled at or pinched. She said having

protection officers, security guards, on each unit, would help de-escalate situations that might potentially harm the health-care staff. “I don’t think it’s too much to ask to protect the health and potential life of your staff,” Sorensen said. Statistics from WorkSafe BC show that the health care and social services sector has the most claims resulting from violence in the workplace. Over a 10-year period, from 2006 to 2015, there were 9,231 violencerelated claims filed with WorkSafeBC by health-care and social service workers, which accounted for more than 60 per cent of all violence-related claims to the provincial body. The sector experiencing the second highest level of violence was education, but this only accounted for eight per cent of violencerelated claims. Nurses aides, health-care Continued on page 33

Violence is a daily concern Continued from page 32 assistants and patient-service associates accounted for 41 per cent of all healthcare/social services violence claims, while 18 per cent of claims came from registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses. Social and community service workers also accounted for 18 per cent, while licensed practical nurses accounted for 13 per cent of violence-related claims. WorkSafeBC includes in these statistics people working in hospitals, long-term care facilities, home and community care, ambulances, transition homes, facilities dealing with at-risk youth and counselling and other related social service jobs In 2015, of the 9,165 total health-care claims by health-care and social service workers, 13 per cent were related to violence. Claims from this sector accounted for 63 per cent of loss-time claims. Sprains and strains to the back, shoulders and wrists

are the most common type of injury, accounting for two-thirds of the total, and this resulted largely from kicking, hitting or beating. Sorensen said her union has been sounding the alarm on violence in health care since 2014, and she is “disappointed” that more hasn’t been done by the provincial government despite promises. Sorensen said some employers have expressed concerns that having protection officers in the units would interfere with the therapeutic care, but she said a protection officer could help de-escalate and regain control of the situation. For too long, she said, government, health authorities and even societies have asked, “isn’t this part of your job?” “It is not part of a nurse’s job to be assaulted – or any health-care worker,” Sorensen said. In addition to the four top-priority worksites, the BCNU has identified six other sites for violence pre-

vention, including Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. The other five are Mills Memorial in Terrace,The Views in Comox, Royal Jubilee in Victoria, Penticton Regional Hospital and Hilltop House, a long-term care facility in Squamish. Kendra Strauss, a director and associate professor of the Labour Studies Program at SFU, said with an aging population, acute care needs have increased and are complex. As part of a study of workers in aging cities, researchers are hearing that workers say they are rushed and short-staffed, Strauss said.This causes stress for the patients and may cause them to lash out. “The issues of violence is being raised by workers themselves,” Strauss said. They need to be able to establish routines and maintain those routines as well as have stability in staffing to minimize the impact to patients, Strauss added.

For more than a century, the union presence in B.C. has improved the lives of all working people. The new province-wide Community Beneﬁts Agreement continues this tradition. All workers on key public-sector construction projects will get fair wages, fair treatment and a high standard of workplace safety. Local hiring will mean good jobs for women, Indigenous people and apprentices, leaving a legacy of skills and practical experience. On Labour Day 2018 we pay tribute to those who built B.C.’s labour movement as a force for positive change, and we look forward to a time of opportunity for all. Join us.

Working people and their families will be celebrating in communities across the province this Labour Day long weekend. It’s the end of summer, and the one day in the year where workers’ contributions to our economy, our social well-being and our communities are recognized. Thousands will be participating in labour-organized events in communities across the province. In the Lower Mainland, many union members will spend the day at the PNE fair with their families – where they’ll be joined by Premier John Horgan. For me, this Labour Day is dedicated to two struggles – one where working people are on the picket lines fighting for fairness and respect at work, the other for better employment standards protections to safeguard vulnerable workers from exploita-

Time to level the playing ﬁeld Continued from page 34 enforcement, and tied the hands of government officials so that they couldn’t proactively investigate violations. The labour movement in B.C. has a proud tradition of fighting to improve wages, conditions and protections for all workers – including those who aren’t currently union members. A recent example is our Fight For $15 Campaign, where we successfully mobilized support to give B.C.’s lowest-paid employees a raise by increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. We believe that improvements to basic employment laws to better protect workers are long overdue.That’s why these changes are a key element in our new Level the Playing Field Campaign launched earlier this year, which also seeks to: " Restore fairness and balance in the labour code to remove barriers imposed by the BC Liberals for workers to join unions to improve wages and conditions; " Make workplaces safe

and improve workers’ compensation payments for those who are injured or killed on the job; and " Provide better access to apprenticeships and training to tackle skill shortages and create opportunities for future workers. Our proposals for employment standards reform focus on ensuring that all workers have access to paid

Forcing workers to go to work sick is bad for all of us sick leave.We recently surveyed more than 1,300 workers in B.C. on the topic of sick leave. Nearly half the workers we heard from do not have access to paid sick leave. Many of these were younger, part-time and lower-paid employees who can’t afford to lose pay. No paid sick leave means that when workers are ill, most of them go to work – and it’s not just that they

need the income to make ends meet.We found that many aren’t permitted to take an unpaid sick day unless they can find someone else to replace them. Forcing workers go to work sick is bad for all of us because it reduces productivity, lengthens recovery time, makes others sick and can even put people’s lives at risk.We call for paid sick days to be made available to all working people in the Employment Standards Act. Our new NDP provincial government has made a number of important commitments to improve the lives of working people in B.C.We believe that can be accomplished through better employment standards, safer workplaces, fairness and balance in labour laws, and better access to apprenticeships and skills training programs to create more opportunities for good-paying work. We need to level the playing field for workers sooner, rather than later. Irene Lanzinger is president of the 500,000-member BC Federation of Labour.

Like many parents, I want to believe my nine-year-old daughter will grow up in a world that allows her to reach her full potential. A world in which she, along with her peers, will be able to find decent and meaningful work; a world in which she will be able to build a future that includes a home and a family of her own; a world in which she will not be discriminated against because of her race, gender, sexual orientation, ability or any other characteristic. However, where we should be seeing progress, recent setbacks are cause for concern. In fact, a recent poll by Angus Reid found that more Canadians believe their children’s generation will be worse off than their own. I want to comfort those who harbour these fears by telling them the country’s

unions are working hard to bring progress back. Much of my work is motivated by the conviction that unions are helping to build a better world for all of our children. After all, it is they who will inherit the legacy we leave behind. We can all be optimistic because the advances unions make have wider implications across all of society, positively impacting every worker and their family. Unions have won paid maternity and paternity leaves, shorter work weeks and safer workplaces. More recently, unions have secured better public pensions, a ban on asbestos and much more. These days, we are advocating for a number of causes that will have a tangible impact on the bottom line of many family budgets.We are working on winning prescription drug coverage for everyone; we are helping prepare workers for a green economy; and we are ad-

vocating for pay equity and harassment-free workplaces. All of these issues matter because the health and well-being of our communities matter.That’s why Labour Day means so much to me and to countless others. It’s a day to remember what we’re striving for. I’m proud of our progress but keenly aware of the challenges ahead.There are conservative forces across Canada insisting on rolling back social progress and wanting to put barriers back up for working folks while making it easier for the rich to get richer. These forces threaten our collective future and potentially hinder the contributions we are making towards building a brighter future for every child.What they can never do is weaken our determination in helping make Canada a better place for all.

28th Annual Salute to Labour Unions

Workplaces are safer and better because of unions Chris Campbell ccampbell@newwestrecord.ca

A story came through my Twitter feed recently about Japanese workers. Some of them are literally working themselves to death. One woman was found dead with her cellphone in her hand – she had

logged 159 overtime hours in a month.The pressure on many urban office workers in Japan is to work longer and longer hours – to the detriment of their physical and mental health. They even have a word for it – karoshi, meaning occupational sudden mortality – which is alarming all on its own.

We North Americans might scoff at that ever happening here, but I don’t think workers in some industries are that far off. Look, for instance, at the tech industry.There are countless articles detailing the unreal expectations placed on many software developers to not leave the office and keep working

to finish looming projects. Many of these companies offer free food, ping-pong tables and comfy couches – not really out of the goodness of their hearts but to make it easier for workers to stay at work. Apart from long hours, there is also the issue of workplace safety that is putting many employees at risk. The worst example is perhaps a few years ago when an overloaded van carrying farm workers crashed with multiple fatalities because there were no real seats – just homemade wood benches – and no seatbelts. I personally covered the death of Maple Ridge gas station attendant Grant De Patie, who was killed trying to stop someone trying to pull a gas-and-dash stunt. It was believed that DePatie was trying to stop the driver because he feared being docked pay to cover the cost of the stolen gas. He was run over and dragged to his death. I mention all these examples because I want to give

a shout-out to all of the organized labour and advocacy groups that are out there working to protect people. The Labour Day holiday in Canada arrived at a time when print workers in Toronto were battling just to get a nine-hour day (yes, nine hours). It was also at a time when workers feared losing their factory jobs to automation.

Take a moment to thank all of these groups … As you can see, 1872 (the time of the first known Labour Day event) might have been a long time ago, but in 2018 people are still dying on the job, working too many hours, and fearing that their jobs will be replaced by automation (hello driverless cars and our future robot overlords!). The death of the farmworkers in that van pro-

duced new workplace regulations that were pushed by advocacy groups representing such workers. Grant’s Law requiring pay-at-thepump changes came directly out of the De Patie family’s lobbying of the provincial government (although, sadly, the BC Liberal government later allowed those changes to be watered-down throughWorkSafe BC). Other advocacy groups are fighting to ensure federal temporary foreign workers are not exploited by unscrupulous fast-food outlet owners who find ways to claw back their wages. And, finally, there are many unions working to ensure their members are protected, as well as lobbying various levels of government to pass regulations to protect workers even further. So on this Labour Day, take a moment to thank all of these groups and unions out there making the working world a better and safer place. Follow Chris Campbell @shinebox44.

Williams eyes retirement Theresa McManus ARDOUN TOWN

Coun. Lorrie Williams makes retirement sound like paradise. A retired teacher,Williams successfully ran for city council in 2002. After five terms, she’s retiring after this year’s civic election and plans to do some travelling and volunteering. “I have just volunteered for Aunt Leah’s Place. I am going to be washing dishes on Sunday, after their foster kids’ meal,” she told the Record. “Every Sunday they cook a meal for the kids.” In 1985,Williams founded the Canadian Harambee Education Society, which helps supports the educational efforts of girls in Africa. In November,Williams will leave for a month-long trip to Kenya to work on her Canadian Harambee Education Society project, and in December she will join local business women Angela Kerslake and Leona Green on a trip to Gua-

temala, where they will volunteer at an animal shelter. Next fall, she’ll visit China to attend the wedding of one of the first women to come to New Westminster as part of an educational program offered to female students in Lijiang, China.

sive municipal planner and has considerable experience, not only in planning, but in building inspections and bylaw enforcement. From a process perspective, Emilie has direct experience with streamlining municipal processes and implementing customer-service initiatives.” Adin has also been an instructor at Royal Roads University, where she taught courses such as planning in communities for a low-carbon economy, land-use and environmental planning, and sustainability and building complete communities. According to Spitale, Adin has experience in some areas deemed to be priorities in New Westminster, including: waterfront revitalization (from the work the City of North Vancouver has been doing with the Shipyards and Lonsdale Quay); progressive and innovative work on housing (coach houses, sensitive infill, etc.); sustainability (having worked on district energy systems in North Vancouver); and First Nations relations.

OUR PAST

Sixth Street properties have a storied history Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Many people travelling up Sixth Street in New Westminster will have noticed another development project marked by signage in the 200 block.The area in question has been a prime restaurant location in this city for many years with names such as La Rustica, La Lorraine and La Spaghetteria being prominent. The two houses at this location that were used as restaurants also had interesting historical connections to the community. For the home furthest up the hill, the most well-known resident was W.C. Chamberlin, who was a jeweller and watchmaker on Columbia Street. If you remember visiting the New Westminster Museum and Archives when it was on Royal Avenue behind Irving House, you might have seen some large,

very ornate display cases in the gift shop area.These were former showcases from Mr. Chamberlin’s store. For the much larger home, near the corner of Welsh Street at Sixth Street, the most prominent residents would be Mr. and Mrs. C.A.Welsh who operated a number of general provisions and grocery stores in the area known as “The People’s Grocer.” The Welsh family was prominent in the community with a variety of groups and connections. Mrs. Welsh – Maude – was a former May Queen (1881), involved with the Council of Women, theYWCA, the board of the Royal Columbian Hospital, and the board of governors of UBC, among others. Mr.Welsh – Charles – also had numerous affiliations including the Harbour Board, Masonic Lodge, the board of trade, city council, police commis-

sion, the Kiwanis Club, the B.C. Lacrosse Association and the Salmonbelllies, and he was a trustee of the Minto Cup. They were deeply involved in many aspects of the region and were widely loved and appreciated.They also had a great dedication and love for each other. If you visit their grave in Fraser Cemetery you will note another interesting detail in their story: they died on the same day. One night at their home on Sixth Street, Mr.Welsh suffered a heart attack. Maude found him on the floor and telephoned for assistance.When help arrived, they found Mrs.Welsh also deceased along with her husband. After a long life together, they died within minutes of each other. An interesting family story, all part of a local city block and its community connection.

“Jin Shin Do” means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit.” Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques, to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the “Qi” or energy, and improve vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress, and trauma related problems. Jiro Murai, the founder of Jin Shin Jutsu sought solitude while ill, for seven days in the mountains. When he was well again, he dedicated his life to the research, practice and understanding of how Life Energy and Source Flows, flow through the body. Through Jiro’s studies, he revived a many centuries old healing art that had long been forgotten. Iona Teaguaden, a psychotherapist, developed Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® which includes meridians, and Source Flows, based on years of scholarly research, spiritual guidance, and from her experiences with hundreds of clients. SEE: jinshindo.org for more information. According to Iona, there is no stronger conductor of Qi than the human hand. Many people are not aware of this technique, and yet is registered in many countries. Many individuals who have experienced the work understand the value of what it can do, from everyday people to martial artists, yogis, and meditators. Various practitioners and people who come to understand how valuable the feeling of deep relaxation is, appreciate what Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure promotes: a pleasant trance state, in which one can relax and move out of the head and into the body, accessing feelings and inner wisdom.

Q A

How do I keep my dog cool in the hot weather?

Dogs should be walked at cooler times of the day. Walk your dog on grassy surfaces when the DR. MANJU ARORA pavement is hot. Concrete and asphalt heat up quickly and can retain heat for hours. Even when temperatures start to drop, these surfaces still may be too hot for walking. Make sure pets always have access to shade or bring them inside on very hot days. Turn on the air-conditioning or use plenty of fans on hot, humid days to prevent heat stroke. Offer plenty of fresh water. Don’t leave your pet in the car. The temperature in a vehicle gets dangerously high in a few minutes, even with the windows open. Place a towel on hot car seats to protect your pet from burns.

Q A

What is Melasma?

Melasma is a form of facial pigmentation stimulated by hormone disturbances, like pregnancy and birth control pills, and UV exposure make it worse. However, the underlying hormone KATIE MARSHALL responsible is melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH). This hormone increases the production of melanin, which is responsible for darkening the skin. Melasma appears on the face, especially on the cheeks, bridge of the nose, forehead and upper lip. Melasma is a very common patchy brown, tan, or blue-gray facial skin discoloration, usually seen in women in the reproductive years. The best treatment approach to treating Melasma is antiinﬂammatory - slow and steady by balancing the hormones. Tyrosinase inhibitors, like SepiWhite, suppress Melanin Stimulating Hormones. Vitamin A products with retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate, and retinyl propionate help correct DNA damage within that melanocyte in addition to your zinc-based SPF.

Q A

Now that the market is cooling is it a good time to buy or should I wait until spring for lower prices?

It’s a great time to buy right now! I’m always amused when the market cools and the public thinks it’s the start of the big tumble in prices. The condo market has ﬁnally cooled enough DERRICK THORNHILL to be able to negotiate a purchase Park Georgia Realty without having to stick your neck out to own something. For the ﬁrst time in 2 years I am seeing more condos sell under asking than over asking. With all the young people trying to get in the market, it’s nice to see them be able to do their due diligence with proper subjects and conditions and still end up in an ownership position. The detached market has increased listing activity and that means more choices. Both of these markets are still holding their own for sale prices. In fact, New Westminster’s detached homes were one of the only markets in the lower mainland that saw increased sales in July 2018 compared to July 2017.

Sports Spartans’ rising star embraces magniﬁcent seven Dan Olson dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There’s no doubt that success can be contagious – just ask the New West Spartans’ rising track star Caleigh O’Flaherty. The teen has proven in her first serious season as a heptathlon athlete how one win can lead to another. The 15-year-old North Vancouver native wrapped up a tremendous first season in the seven-sport event, capturing a bevy of personal bests (PB) and finishing fifth overall at the Legion national championships in Brandon, Man. earlier this month. Each taste of success only whetted her appetite for more. At least, that’s how it unfolded after O’Flaherty nailed a new best time in the first event – the 100-metre hurdles. “I think when you have a good event and already have some points under your belt, that it totally helps your mind space in the next event, knowing that I don’t have to jump a PB to make up for that, I can just

jump and have fun. I don’t have to throw this far,” said O’Flaherty. Funny how fun often is matched by PBs.The St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary athlete established four of them in Brandon in the women’s under-18 division, beginning with the 100m hurdles in 15.54 seconds. That new personal mark brought a smile to her face and set the ball in motion for more of the same. “That really set the tone for the whole competition,” she said of the hurdles. “High jump was next, and I got a season’s best in that, which I was really happy about. Shotput, which is one of my favourite heptathlon events, also went really well with a personal best, and the 200-metre was awesome – another PB, which was a crazy day for me.” Three new career bests already marked the national championship as a great success.While the second day began with respectable results in both the javelin (10th overall) and long jump (eighth), O’Flaherty capped it by legging out a

top time of 2:31.00 in the 800 metres. She left the Legion nationals with a pair of silver medals (200m and 800m), a bronze (shotput) and a fifth-place finish (100m hurdles) and the sense the wind was in her sails. “I knew it was going to be possible because I had been working so hard and my coaches have been working

so hard for me, helping me and training me non-stop and adding another practice day for me. I knew this heptathlon was going to be better than the one at provincials, but I didn’t know it was going to be that good,” she said. She credits the past year of training under the Spartans’ coaches,Tatjana and Besnik Mece, who were in-

strumental in coaching New Westminster native and NCAA pentathlon medallist Nina Schultz to realizing her potential. A year ago, in O’Flaherty’s first trip to the Legion championships as a midget (under-15), the experience was quite different, with just three events on her schedule. “Last year wasn’t as good

as I was hoping, but I had a really fun time.We did a relay and we came fifth… I competed in the 80m hurdles and unfortunately had a little tumble. I also competed in the 200m hurdles but just wasn’t in the right headspace after my fall,” she said. Still, at that time O’Flaherty was considered to be a two- or three-event athlete who was searching for a specialty. Flash forward to a few months ago when the Meces suggested she revisit the whole menu of events for her repertoire. “When we were looking at it this year, we realized that every year I had specialized in a heptathlon event,” she said. “So we just thought, ‘Well I can jump, I can hurdle, I can run.We’ll work on javelin. I can throw a shotput with enough training, why wouldn’t this work? Why not at least try?’ “We just decided to jump in the deep end and do one (pentathlon). It worked out really well, and we decided let’s do it.This is what we’re going to focus on now,” O’Flaherty said.

PHELAN, Mary (Gifford) September 3, 1918 - July 16, 2018 We are deeply saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Mary, our dearly loved Mom, Grandma, “Great Gram,” aunt, and friend after a very brief illness. Mary was born into the Gifford and Wintemute families - early New Westminster pioneers - and grew up surrounded by lively, industrious characters and “good souls.” Mary was predeceased by her beloved husband Bob, sisters Norma and Gerry, niece Becky and many cousins and friends of whom she was very fond. Mary will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her devoted daughters Kathy (Doug) and Debbie; adored grandchildren Heather (Ivan) and Dean (Robyn); much loved great-grandchildren Katelyn, Jonah, Nate, Matteo, and Sebastian, brother-in- law Chuck Adams, many nieces, nephews, friends and extended family. Our amazing mom endured the challenges of advancing years with dignity, grace, and her delightful wit. For nearly a century, she graced us with her warm, loving presence and steadfast support. In her inimitable manner, Mary slipped quietly away on a beautiful summer morning with a joyful, peaceful heart. The family would like to express sincere gratitude to the staff at Victoria Heights for their devoted care over the past 10 years. In lieu of flowers, donations to BASES Family Thrift Store, 7825 Edmonds St., Burnaby, V3N 1B9 (cheques payable to BASES) or Guildford Park Secondary Scholarship Fund (“GP Spirit Award” in memory of Mary Gifford and Bob Phelan): cheques payable to Surrey School District Scholarships c/o Guildford Park, 10707 146th St., Surrey, V3R 1T5. Mom generously supported children and various educational initiatives throughout her life. A Celebration of Life will be held at Victoria Heights, 230 Ross Drive, New Westminster at 2:00 p.m. on September 5th, 2018. (An earlier Celebration of Life was held at Queen’s Ave. United Church on July 20, 2018).
