Scooters stolen from seniors Cornelia Naylor cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

Two local seniors have been grounded after two separate thefts of mobility scooters in New Westminster this month. “My independence is gone,”West End resident Peet Parrest told the Record. “It’s like stealing somebody’s crutch or cane. It’s hard to imagine that someone would take your mobile chair, that they would be that heartless.” His chair had been secured to a post in the carport of his Hamilton Street home with a “substantial chain,” Parrest said, but thieves used bolt cutters and made off with the mobility device last Tuesday, leaving only a single link of the chain. On Sept. 1, a 76-year-old Brow of the Hill resident’s black $4,000 Shoprider Trailblazer scooter was stolen from a parking garage in the 900 block of Fifth Avenue, according to Sgt. Jeff Scott.

“If you see an ad for these scooters online or throughout the city, please let us know,” Scott said. “The owners of these mobility scooters need them to get around and run errands. To think of someone stealing these for personal gain, which limits another person’s sense of freedom, is sad.” Parrest’s Pride Go-Chair was black with pink accents on the base and worth about $3,400. It might be dead by now, though, since the thief failed to take the electrical charger that goes with it. Swapping stories with other disabled people, Parrest said he gets the impression people with disabilities are being targeted. “It’s very easy for someone to follow me in that chair from midtown to my house and know that the chair is there and then take it,” he said. Anyone with information about these thefts is asked to call New Westminster police at 604-525-5411.

WET AND WONDERFUL: The rain came, but so did lots of people for the annual New Westminster Terry Fox Run, which started at River Market. Organizer Kathy Jones said the event drew 210 walkers, runners and wheelers with 40 volunteers, including one participant who participated in her 36th (out of 38) Terry Fox Run. The local event has raised over $18,000 this year to date and more donations are still coming in online, including two people who raised $5,000 each. “I think Terry would be well pleased with the remarkable support shown by the New West participants who showed up on a very wet Sunday morning at the Quay,” Jones said.

Two more join the race for mayor Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

And now there are four. When the nomination deadline closed on Friday, New West residents Jimmie Bell, Nikki Binns and Harm Woldring had all thrown their name into the ring to run against incumbent mayor Jonathan Cote in the Oct. 20 civic election. “I feel that I can get more people interested in council,” Bell said, when asked why he’s running for mayor. “That’s our big problem. We don’t have enough participation by the folks that own property here and rent property here.” If Bell’s name sounds fa-

miliar that’s because he has ran for mayor, councillor and school trustee in the past, under the name James Bell. In 2011 and 2014 Bell ran for both city council and school board and in 1996 he ran for mayor. While the mayors’ council on regional transportation supports the construction of a new Pattullo Bridge, Bell isn’t keen on the idea because he fears wider travel lanes mean more traffic will come speeding into New Westminster. Instead, he’d prefer that work be done to extend the life of the existing bridge and large trucks be banned from using the Pattullo.

“That bridge is quite suitable for pickups and cars, not tractor-trailers.They can go on two big bridges on either side, but they are not going to do it,” he said. “As soon as the new bridge is in, they are going to swarm it.” If elected mayor, Bell would like to find a way of moving city hall elsewhere and redeveloping the existing site.When told the city no longer owns the Anvil Centre office tower, he said “it’s a shame” because it would have been an ideal location for city hall. “We should be thinking about developing that site where the present city hall is,” he said. “I’d like to see

city hall become a research centre, anything but what it is, so it would employ people. I just want to see it utilized to generate tax dollars.” Binns, who grew up in New West and has raised her seven children in the city, said someone suggested she run for mayor and she decided to go for it. “I am becoming more and more concerned with the way we are building things around our city,” she said. “We used to care about our livability, and it just seems that we are not anymore.We have got huge traffic issues.We have minimal access to amenities.” Continued on page 7

New award honours memory of Santa Larry Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new award is honouring the memory of a man known to thousands of local kids as Santa Claus. Larry Tamkin, who passed away in March, was known as Santa Larry to many families, having served as Santa at Woodward’s and Royal City Centre in New Westminster for 45 years. Along with his Santa duties,Tamkin was an actor, musician and long-

time volunteer at Olivet Baptist Church. Dale Darychuk, a New Westminster resident and lawyer, met Tamkin after Tamkin’s wife Susan (a.k.a Mrs. Claus) painted a picture of the sunflowers Darychuk grows at his home. “There was a lot more to him than what we saw with Santa Claus,” Darychuk said. “He was a real contributor to the community.” Darychuk said he was disheartened to hear of Tamkin’s death and thought

NewWest races feature plenty of newcomers Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Thirty-four candidates will be competing for spots on city council and school board when voters go to the polls in New Westminster on Oct. 20. When the deadline for nominations closed on Friday at 4 p.m., the preliminary declaration of candidates indicated four candidates will be running for mayor, 14 for city councillor and 16 for school trustee. Along with incumbent Jonathan Cote, residents Nikki Binns, Jimmie (James) Bell and Harm Woldring are running for mayor. The council race features four incumbents and 10 newcomers: Chinu Das; Daniel Fontaine;Troy Hunter; Mike Ireland; Patrick Johnstone (incumbent); Jaimie McEvoy (incumbent); Paul McNamara; Nadine Nakagawa; Benny Ogden; Chuck Puchmayr (incumbent); Angela Sealy; Mary Trentadue (incumbent); Ellen Vaillancourt; and Bryn Ward. Aside from incumbents Mark Gifford and Mary Lalji, the majority of candidates who have thrown their name in the ring to run for school trustee are newbies: Anita Ansari; Dee Beattie; Danielle Connelly; Gurveen Dhaliwal; Alejandro Diaz; Lisa Falbo; J.P. Leberg; Cathy McCallum; Scott McIntosh; Maya Russell; Cyrus Sy; Steve Tsonev; and Douglas Woodward. Former trustee Lisa Graham, who did not seek re-election in 2014, is also seeking to reclaim her former seat on school board.

GOOD WEATHER FOR DUCKS: Accent Inns teamed up with the BC SPCA to invade Moody Park in New Westminster last Saturday, with a giant 20-foot rubber duck and half-a-dozen seven-foot rubber ducks.

Future housing developments will need charging stations Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New developments in New Westminster will soon be required to include electrical vehicle charging infrastructure. Following a public hearing on Monday night, city council supported a zoning amendment bylaw that would require new residential buildings to require a Level 2 (208 to 240 volt) energized outlet for all new residential parking spaces, excluding visitor spaces. The bylaw takes effect April 1, 2019. In addition, the city will also require all new commercial and institutional buildings with 10 or more parking spaces to provide 10

per cent of these spaces with access to a Level 2 outlet. “I think this is definitely a step in the right direction,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “The reality is, when you own an electric vehicle, the vast majority of your charging happens at home. In a single-family neighbourhood, that’s usually quite easy to accommodate but in many multi-family buildings it is actually very difficult. Given that in the city of New Westminster a large number of our residential units are multi-family units, I think it’s important that we get ready. Really, the shift toward the electrification of our vehicles is actually going to be a trend that is going to increase significantly over the next number

of years.” According to a staff report, sales of plug-in electric vehicles have increased in the past three years and represent 1.5 to two per cent of new car sales in B.C., with demand for some models exceeding supply at lo-

cal dealerships. It’s projected that electric vehicles will represent five to 20 per cent of all vehicle sales by 2024, 25 per cent by 2030 and 50 per cent by 2040. If residential units aren’t able to accommodate electric vehicles, Cote said that

will limit the number of people who buy electric vehicles and will cause issues in the city. A staff report states access to charging at home or work is a key factor in people’s decision to purchase an electric vehicle, so equipping new residential buildings with the capacity for electric vehicle charging is key in the transition toward zero-emission vehicles in New Westminster. The report states it’s much more cost effective to provide electric vehicle charging capability at the time of construction, rather than retrofitting buildings postconstruction. “This bears itself out in terms of the challenges experienced by local residents

within existing strata condominium buildings that have purchased an electric vehicle, but cannot convince their strata council to allow for necessary EV charging wiring and equipment at their parking stall, even when the owner has agreed to cover the full cost of equipment and electrical connection,” said the report. “For these residents, the only option for charging their vehicle is a limited number of public charging sites in the city.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who owns an electric vehicle, said the initiative will help take vehicles using fossil fuels off the road. “I would like to have seen it a little bit sooner, but it is now becoming law,” he said.

Some things just become obsolete.

Group wants pot bubble zone The City of New Westminster is expecting a high degree of interest from potential cannabis retailers. On Monday, council approved an updated Cannabis Retail Rezoning Policy that will be used for considering applications from potential cannabis retailers.The city will consider a

Correction

In a June 27 Record article (New Westminster council supports modular housing project at tense public hearing), comments were incorrectly attributed to Jack Makolewski. The quote says: “Within one year of the women moving into this project, we will all be looking back and we will wonder what all the fuss was back in 2018.We will wonder why it was there were certain people who spread fear and misinformation in our communities, as they did in Sapperton four years ago.” The Record regrets the error.

blend of public and private operators in different parts of the city, with five expected to open in the first year. Kim Deighton, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said it’s anticipated the first retail cannabis store could open in New Westminster in April or May 2019 but that’s not set in stone. She said the city hopes to start accepting applications soon after cannabis is legalized on Oct. 17. “There is a scoring system in place.The top five will rise to the top and they will be given the green light to go forward with a rezoning,” she said of the review process. The city will divide applications for cannabis retailers into four geographic areas – downtown, uptown, Sapperton and all other locations, such as 12th Street and Queensborough. The Sapperton Business Association, however, is urging city hall to create a bubble zone preventing the sale of cannabis in that neighbourhood. Gordon Hobbis said the association is concerned

about the sale of cannabis in a neighbourhood that’s home to Royal Columbian Hospital, the Elizabeth Fry Society and other service providers, as people accessing those services may be dealing with addiction and mental health issues. He said the group is also concerned about potential issues related to consumption of cannabis in public places, as enforcement is already a challenge for the city. “We think that this possibility that open consumption with marijuana would create an even less desirable business environment,” he said. “We think, with these two concerns, Sapperton is not the right location to put one of these businesses.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone believes the biggest concern related to the legalization of cannabis is nuisance issues related to public consumption. “Residents are going to have to let us know what their problems are with nuisance use,” he said. “I can’t say it’s going to be an easy problem, but we are aware it’s a problem.”

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY September 20, 2018 7

City UBCM passes local motions Making roads safer for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists was on the City of New Westminster’s agenda at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Several city councillors attended the Sept. 10 to 14 convention in Whistler, where delegates attended sessions on a variety of topics, heard from leaders including Premier John Horgan and voted on a variety of resolutions put forward by cities across British Columbia. “We put in five resolutions. All of our resolutions passed, most of them unanimously,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “One that Coun. (Patrick) Johnstone brought in was

to update the Motor Vehicle Act to improve safety for all users.” New Westminster’s motion sought support for modernization of the Motor Vehicle Act, by moving forward on the recommendations in the Road Safety Law Reform Group of B.C.’s position paper, Modernizing the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act. Other resolutions put forward by New Westminster included changes to the Strata Property Act, changes to the Tobacco and Vapour Control Regulations so it’s consistent with new regulations relating to cannabis and support for the province’s plan to create 20 community health centres.

Preserve May Day, says candidate Continued from page 1 While more and more buildings continue to be built in New Westminster, Binns doesn’t think the city’s infrastructure and amenities have kept pace with development. Binns said she didn’t have a chance to participate in the process to update the official community plan, which provides a roadmap for how the city will develop in the years ahead, but wants to work to improve the city’s

amenities and livability. May Day is also on Binns’ radar. “Part of my focus will be

May Day as well – just preserving our history,” she said. “I really think community is key and important.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

Law needed to oust politicians who are convicted

Imagine if a politician on Burnaby city council was convicted of a crime, such as sexually assaulting a teenage girl. Did you know that the rest of council and the public are powerless to force that politician off of council? It’s true. The nearby community of Pitt Meadows found itself in the same position when a man named David Murray, who was a city councillor at the time, was convicted and then sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment for sexually assault-

ing a 14-year-old girl almost two decades ago. He was convicted in 2017 and resigned amid public pressure four days later. But he didn’t have to. “No other community should have to deal with that,” Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker told delegates at last week’s annual meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. “It can’t just be business as usual.” Current provincial legislation doesn’t have measures in it to force out politicians convicted of criminal acts. In response to the Murray

situation, the UBCM approved a resolution that local council members be put on unpaid leave from office upon conviction for a criminal offence.That leave would continue until the end of the period allowed for appeal of such a conviction or the end of the appeal process. The resolution also came with an amendment – that conviction for acts of civil disobedience should not bar a public official from remaining in public office. That amendment was narrowly passed.

Vancouver Coun. Adriane Carr suggested the civil disobedience change. “They are acts of a good social conscience,” Carr said. “I would not want to see those officials barred from public office.” Civil disobedience often results in contempt of court charges against protesters who disregard court orders. The charge is a criminal one – and one that protesters against the Trans Mountain pipeline have faced after the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued an injunction on demonstrations

at Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby work site. Vancouver mayoral candidate Kennedy Stewart, who is a former Burnaby member of Parliament, pleaded guilty to contempt in May. Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May also pleaded guilty to criminal contempt in May for her role in a pipeline protest. Smithers Coun. Frank Wray disagreed on removing civil disobedience. “As lawmakers, we set a poor example when we choose which laws we should support and which

we should not support,” Wray said. The amendment does create a hazy situation, but it seems doubtful a contempt conviction for protesting would create the kind of paralyzing situation that the Murray conviction did. We’re happy with the overall resolution. It’s needed – now the provincial government needs to act and change the Community Charter and Local Government Act to protect communities from these types of situations from ever happening again.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

LNG could scuttle Green-NDP deal

The strength of the relationship between the BC NDP and B.C. Greens is about to be tested on two fronts. While the two parties disagree on issues, there has been little consequence from those disagreements. For example, the Greens have been demanding since Day 1 of their agreement with the NDP that ridesharing be introduced.The NDP is dragging its heels on that, and life goes on for both parties. The Greens want to move quickly to shut down (or relocate) many fish farms, but again the NDP has delayed taking any action until after the next election. And let’s not even get into the NDP’s decision early on to continue construction of the Site C dam. But two looming issues may ultimately strain their relationship, which props up the government. One of them is the speculation tax, and the other is the LNG project in B.C.’s northwest corner. Green party leader AndrewWeaver appears ready to use his opposition to both in different ways. He intends to introduce amendments to the speculation tax when it is unveiled in the upcoming legislative session (that’s assuming the NDP doesn’t back down in response to widespread criticism of the tax). He could, for example, introduce an amendment that gives cities and municipalities the option on being covered by the tax or not. Where things could get interesting is if the BC Liberals like what they see from

Weaver and vote in favour of his amendments.Together, the two parties can beat the NDP government in a vote. Or perhaps the Liberals, many of whom dislike Weaver, will opt not to support anything he does and keep enough of their caucus out of the house to allow the government to defeat them. But even if the amendments fail and the Greens (and the Liberals) combine to defeat the original bill, it will not result in the NDP falling from power, since individual bills (with the exception of the budget) are not considered confidence votes.The LNG issue may be more problematic for the Greens as it runs directly counter to its core philosophy.The final investment decision for the LNG Canada project near Kitimat is expected to be made in October. CanWeaver support a government embracing an industry that he insists will make it impossible for the province to meet its climate emission targets? He threatened on Twitter last Christmas that he would ensure the NDP government would fall should it approve an LNG project. He has softened his tone – now he wants to see the government’s climate action plan before passing final judgment – but not his opposition to LNG. Weaver can have some fun with the speculation tax, but the problems associated with LNG will sorely test his continued backing of the current government. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Casual coke dealers caught A trio of drug dealers at the College Place Hotel weren’t exactly discreet about peddling their merchandise, making them easy pickings for New Westminster police. In February, police got a tip about drugs being sold from a room in the hotel.When officers went to check it out, they found a door to one of the rooms open. Inside, in plain view, were seven grams of cocaine ready for sale, according to police. Officers quickly arrested a 20-year-old New West man, a 30-year-old Burnaby man and a 19-year-old Burnaby woman.The trio were all charged with possession of a narcotic.

You don’t have to be a parent to be a trustee Editor: My doors are getting knocked on almost every night with all of these new candidates and I am painfully aware that an election is coming. Is this making me bitter? The other night I had a school trustee candidate come knock on my door. She was engaging, eloquent and had this excitement about her. She talked about why she was running, what she was passionate about and her professional, community and educational background. I could feel her passion but I saw it quickly fade away when my immediate and only followup was “do you have kids?” My husband and I went into the kitchen and just asked ourselves why we even cared if she had kids. There she was, standing in front of us in the pouring rain - confident, passionate and with this impressive history - but we shut it all down with our one meaningless question. My neighbour asked her the same thing and I bet you so did every other door. Heaven knows being a parent doesn’t automatically make you an expert at anything. Please consider this a public apology on my behalf to every young candidate, especially the women, who have bravely put their hats in the ring in hopes of creating great change but have to put up with meaningless and insulting questions about their personal reproductive choices. We’ve been socialized to believe that only

You’ve Written a Will… certain kinds of people belong in public office, but what I’ve noticed lately is strong community leaders and the ones that are bold and creating big change are overwhelmingly young women. I will be rethinking my doorstep manner and will be reaching out to this candidate who I greatly undermined to let her know she has my support. New Westminster, consider this the next time you’re annoyed the bell is ringing once again. Shannon Griffiths, New Westminster

Tax hikes, spending has voter ready for change Editor: It’s convenient that the mayor of New Westminster has banded together with a coterie of “like-minded, but independent” councillors running in the next civic election under the name Team Cote and had the names listed in the newspaper – voters can cut the list out and use it as a reference for knowing who not to vote for when they go to the polls. After three years of unbridled spending and tax increases well in excess of the level of inflation to pump up the wage packets of civic employees and fund some of the ugliest public art to ever appear in a cityscape, not mention a development policy that will ensure that one day the only people able to see the Fraser River will be the ones living in the “iconic” condo towers lining its banks, it’s time to say no to Team Cote and Co. Enough is enough. Ian MacNeill, New Westminster

City EDUCATION

Local schools keeping up Enrolment in local French with ﬁlling teaching jobs immersion is on the rise Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

As other school districts across the province struggle to fill teaching positions, New Westminster has proven to be an attractive option for prospective teachers. Since March 2017, New Westminster has been actively recruiting new teachers to help fill vacancies in the district caused by the 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision that sided with B.C. teachers over language in their contract regarding class size and composition. The district’s recruitment strategy is competitive, but it’s the size of the district itself that’s proving to be the biggest draw for teachers seeking employment, according to superintendent Karim Hachlaf. “It has a lot of appeal to staff,” he told the Record. “Our ability to connect

with new teachers in terms of our geography and just the climate of a small district and having that community feel has been feedback we’ve received from our new recruits.” Since May, the district has posted 158 teaching positions, and it’s been able to fill them all. It’s also filled 140 education assistant positions in recent months, according to Hachlaf. “Our team has done a great job of our ongoing recruitment effort and of managing all the postings, and that certainly has intensified over the summer months as well, as we get ready for September,” he said. “We’ve done very well to not face some of the shortages faced across the province.” New Westminster, however, hasn’t been immune to the shortages plaguing the province’s teacher-on-call lists. Last year, there were

instances where school administration had to cover for a sick teacher, Hachlaf said. Because hiring is an ongoing process, teachers on call are finding themselves with full-time employment. This means the teacher-oncall list needs to be replenished regularly, according to Hachlaf. To avoid empty on-call lists New Westminster is hiring on-call teachers on a contract basis to ensure they have a committed pool of TOCs, Hachlaf said. “We’re still in a good position with our on-call team for teachers for the start of the new year, but it’s an ongoing process; it never ends,” he added. And that’s the case with recruitment in general in the district.With school back in session, Hachlaf said he and his staff will know soon if they need to hire more teachers or support staff.

According to a group that advocates for French-language learning in the province, French immersion enrolment in New Westminster is on the rise. Enrolment hit nearly 1,000 students in the 2017/18 school year, according to Canadian Parents for French BC andYukon (CPF BC andYukon). “French immersion is a well-established and highly regarded program,” said

Diane Tijman, president of Canadian Parents for French BC andYukon, in a press release. “Designed to help students become functionally bilingual by the time they graduate, the program’s effects are very real, empowering young people and opening doors in so many different ways.” In New Westminster, French immersion students accounted for 12 per cent of the total student body.This is above average when compared to enrolment across

the province, which saw about nine per cent of students across B.C. enrolled in French immersion in 2017/18, according to CPF BC andYukon. The New Westminster school district has offered early French immersion since 2003. French immersion is available at École Qayqayt, École Lord Tweedsmuir and École Herbert Spencer elementary schools, École Glenbrook Middle School and École New Westminster Secondary School.

Help clean up the Queensborough shoreline Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A shoreline cleanup in Queensborough is making a move to be a zero waste event. The Queensborough Special Programs Committee has partnered up with Zero Waste Canada to help clean up the mess created by human activities along the South Dyke Road shoreline and to take action to reduce plastic waste. The cleanup is on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (sign-in takes place at Thompsons Landing Park on South Dyke Road, between Boundary Road and Dockside Court). “Since it began, this shoreline cleanup has a history of being innovative, starting with the invasive plant pull eight years ago, followed by planting native shrubs,” said site coordinator Laurel Wright. “Members of the Queensborough Special Programs Committee are pleased to take on new steps to reduce our own waste and impact on our environment as part of the shoreline cleanup.” This year’s event is BYOB – BringYour Own Bucket. Participants are encouraged to reduce plastic waste by bringing their own bucket to pick up trash (instead of

using a plastic bag), their own reusable cup (instead of a single-use plastic or paper cup for refreshments) and their own reusable gloves (instead of using disposable latex gloves). “I have seen firsthand how our cleanup efforts have made a great impact on the health of the river and the foreshore,” said Wright, who lives near the cleanup site and has participated in the event for eight years. “Each year we concentrate on an area in greatest need, including removing invasive plants that are interfering with the natural habit. Removing blackberry is a multi-year commitment, and we need many hands to help out.” Wright said the shoreline cleanup gives participants an opportunity to connect with nature that is part of this community and to provide safe, new habitat for the animals that are being squeezed out of it. “Last year we built and put up bat boxes,” she said in a press release. “This year we are looking at bird habitat needs.” To sign up for the shoreline cleanup or to get more details, go to www.shorelinecleanup.ca/ cleanups/4jemg or visit the Queensborough Special Program Committee’s Facebook page.

WHY ATTEND? “The past year has seen an overwhelming increase in

public visibility around gender-based violence, and specifically sexual violence and harassment within a variety of settings, from Hollywood to college campuses from #MeToo to #Times Up,” said Lisa Smith, sociology instructor and event organizer. “To some extent, this issue is not new. At the same time, the public nature and intensity of conversations has been impacted by the rise of social media as a forum, as well as key shifts in politics and society

more broadly.” Smith said the organizing committee behind SHIFT is aiming to provide a space where people can confront difficult truths, ask difficult questions and engage in supported dialogue about gender-based violence in a safe, inclusive and caring environment. “We need more spaces like this,” she said in a statement to the Record. “And more importantly, we need opportunities to connect with good, thoughtful well-

A passive recreational area near the Fraser River seems to be the most popular park plan for Poplar Landing site. City staff recently updated council about the results of an open house, where residents were asked to share ideas for the redevelopment of the site at 1400 Quayside Dr. Once home to a mill, the Poplar Landing site, which is jointly owned by the City of New Westminster and Metro Vancouver and is already home to a wastewater storage tank, is destined to have housing and the Muni Evers Park. When asked for feedback about their preference for midrise towers and a large park or lowrise buildings and a compact park, 42.3 per cent liked the midrise/large park plan, 18.9 per cent were neutral and 38.7 per cent disliked the idea.That left 37.3 per cent liking the lowrise/ compact park approach, 27.3 per cent being neutral and 25.5 per cent disliking.

A staff report stated the results suggest a “marginal number” of respondents prefer the midrise/large park approach, but the overall results don’t show a strong preference for one option over the other. The open house also sought to get input about the types of amenities community members would like to see in the future Muni Evers Park. Walking trails were at the top of the list (90.9 per cent of respondents) of amenities deemed to be very important or important, followed by naturalized areas (86.4 per cent), riverfront pier (83.5 per cent), lawn with seating elements (83 per cent), offleash dog area (74.3 per cent), playground (61.3 per cent), biking trails (58 per cent), sports courts (44.3 per cent), outdoor exercise equipment (42.4 per cent), a pavilion (39.1 per cent) and a bike pump track (17.6 per cent) “The results suggest a preference for passive recreational opportunity and an off-leash dog area(s) with a more naturalized character and the ability to get

closer to the Fraser River,” said the staff report. “Regarding park amenities, more active recreational opportunities may have been more frequently cited if there were more participants 29 or younger or parents or guardians with younger children.” According to the report, 40 per cent of the 113 survey respondents were over 50 years

There are many diverse views about what the city should do …

of age, 48 per cent were 30 to 49 and two per cent were under 29. Based on conversations with people at the open house, organizers deemed many of the attendees to be residents of stratas adjacent to the site. Other feedback indicated people want open views to the river (90.1 per cent), foreshore and habitat enhancement (89.8 per

cent) and a ramp/stair connection from the ground level to the Third Avenue overpass (76.9 per cent). About 16 of the attendees highlighted concerns about lack of parking as an issue. “Based on input from the public, it is clear that there are many diverse views about what the city should do in regards to development of this site,” said a report. “Feedback from the consultation process indicated that further work will be required, including a financial viability study, to find a balanced approach to the built form and the park configuration.There may also need to be further consultation with underrepresented groups such as youth, families with younger children and renters, possibly in the form of focus groups.” The city and Metro Vancouver will continue to work on plans for the site. It’s expected that a conceptual plan for the site could be ready for public feedback in the late fall or early winter.

Theatre lovers in New Westminster, get ready for a good season. The Royal Canadian Theatre Company is bringing its 2018/19 season back to the Royal City, starting with a production of Arsenic and Old Lace in October. Joseph Kesselroff’s black comedy – a classic Broadway hit starring Boris Karloff before it was adapted for film with Cary Grant – is scheduled to be onstage at the Anvil Centre Oct. 18 to 20. Jacqueline Becher, Michael Charrois and Steve Weller star as the two dotty sisters and their menacing nephew. Then, for the holiday season, the company is set to present Hansel, Gretel & the Strolling Players, a traditional British panto written and directed by Ellie King. It’s set to be onstage at the Massey Theatre Jan. 4 and 5, 2019. The season will wind up with the farce A Bedfull of Foreigners, March 15 and 16 at the Anvil Centre. Dave Freeman’s comedy is described as “Fawlty Towers meets Benny Hill.” Ticket series savers are available for $79 for all three plays, or $55 for seniors and students, with extra deals for family packs and groups.

MOSAIC program helps out newcomer students Settlement workers work with students and families to adjust to educational challenges found in Canada Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Settlement workers are making a huge difference in the lives of newcomers to Canada – and local schools. MOSAIC, a registered charity that’s been serving immigrant, newcomer and refugee communities in Greater Vancouver for four decades, has been partnering with the New Westminster School District on the Settlement Workers in Schools (SWIS) program.The program strives to help newcomer students and their families adapt to Canadian life and education during their initial years in Canada. “Last year we served over 520 clients, with four staff alone,” said Ghada Tallia, manager of MOSAIC’s Settlement Workers in Schools Program. “We help all the 12 schools that are in New West.We manage all their clients in our program.” Settlement workers help

feel welcome and fully engaged within their new community. “What my program does is we assist newcomer students and their families adapt to life in Canada through one-on-one consultation.We do workshops for children, parents and grandparents.We support groups for youth and parents.We do mentoring for youth and parents.We do some field

trips,”Tallia said. “We have a lot of volunteer opportunities for people who want to go out there and learn.We do life skills and leadership training for youths.” Now in its fourth year, the Settlement Workers in Schools program will continue for another three years. “We are kind of the liaison between the parents, the students and the teachers,”Tallia said. “We kind of facilitate things because sometimes it’s difficult for the teachers to understand the situation with the kids, especially with the language barrier.That becomes a big issue.” Settlement workers speak a variety of languages, but can also borrow staff from MOSAIC’s language centre if interpreters are needed to help with students who speak other languages. “The schools have given us great feedback and said it has made a huge difference with the relationship they

have with the parents,”Tallia said. “The students have done much better now that they have been able to communicate with the parents.” Along with MOSAIC staff, volunteers also help newcomers adjust to life in Canada in a wide variety of ways, including facilitating English conversation circles, teaching different pro-

grams, providing informal language support, supporting MOSAIC’s many events and more.They work with seniors, families, women and job seekers and others in classrooms, offices and workshops. “We have tons of volunteers,”Tallia said. “Under our volunteer program they have to go and do a crimi-

nal record check.They register there and tell us what they like.We have about 35 offices – different programs. Whatever their passion is, we look at what we have open.” For more about MOSAIC’s programs for newcomers or to volunteer, contact www.mosaicbc.org.

Autumn is just around the corner. If you’re looking for some indoor entertainment to ward off the upcoming colder temperatures, how about a binge watch? Here are some suggestions for some of the newer releases of television shows at New Westminster Public Library. If you’re a fan of Margaret Atwood, don’t miss the

CBC’s adaptation of the 1996 novel Alias Grace.This miniseries focuses on Grace Marks, a domestic servant in 1843 Upper Canada who is investigated and tried for murder. If you don’t mind a bit of science fiction with your spy adventures, give the first season of Counterpart a try.This espionage thriller evokes the tension and intrigue of the Cold War and stars J.K. Simmons in a dual role as two versions of the

same man. If you miss the supporting characters of The GoodWife you’ll be happy to know that there’s now a spinoff. Christine Baranski’s Diane Lockhart returns in The Good Fight and continues her legal adventures with both new and familiar colleagues. If comedy is more your style, try the first season of Atlanta, which tells the story of Earnest “Earn” Marks as he navigates his life and the music scene of Atlan-

ta, Georgia. The show stars Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino), who won Emmys for his portrayal of Earn as well for directing the first season episode B.A.N. If you’d rather catch up on your old favourites rather than start something new, NWPL also has copies of ongoing shows. For more suggestions visit the library in person, email us at AskUs@nwpl.ca or call us at 604-527-4666.

OUR PAST

What could you buy downtown in 1877? Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Henry Holbrook was a prominent citizen and businessman in early New Westminster. In the fall of 1877, Holbrook’s store was featured in a large advertisement in the local paper. Perhaps a look at the goods for sale and

available to the city’s residents in September 1877, would be in order. For hardware, the store was singling out items at low prices such as long handled shovels, scythes, forks, spades, and in particular, axes starting at $1.75 each. In wines and spirits there was quite an interesting list including madeira, various

brandies, Jamaica rum, port and sherry, gin, Old Tom, Irish and Scotch whiskey, and more. In the grocery line, Mr. Holbrook offered an “assortment of groceries of the finest quality for sale” along with a selection of goods from Cross and Blackwell of London. And for “fresh arrivals,” there was quite an assort-

ment of goods: “Gentlemen’s English underclothing, shirts and drawers, from $1 to $3,” hosiery, ladies’ dress goods, Irish linen and “an assortment of cutlery from Sheffield,” among others. And so we went shopping at Mr. Holbrook’s store in New Westminster of September of 1877.

No, boredom won’t turn your kids into criminals Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I hear the words “I’m bored” spew out of one of my children’s mouths, I cringe, but I also welcome the challenge. Boredom is where creativity blooms. It’s an important reminder to think outside the box, to discover new interests and to carefully consider why the state of boredom has evolved so quickly in the first place. In an age of overscheduled kids, an interesting perspective has emerged when it comes to the association between scheduled extracurricular activities, boredom and the urge to commit crimes. According to a study conducted by Ipsos, seven-in-10 parents believe that young people commit crimes because they have nothing to do and nowhere to go. Many parents that I’ve spoken to in my own circles seem to feel the same way. There appears to be a common belief among parents that it’s a crime for kids to be bored - quite literally. The North Vancouver School District recently won a case against the parents of four teens who set fire

to the roof of an elementary school, causing approximately $70,000 in damages. As a result, the parents of the 13-year-old boys will have to cover the costs to repair the damages caused by the rooftop bonfire. While I agree that the parents should take financial responsibility for the costs accrued by the act of arson committed by their children (who as minors, are still the responsibility of their parents), I have been surprised by the comments from other parents that have ensued as a result. Many parents seem to believe that “bored kids” are to blame for the crime committed. Some express relief that their children are enrolled in several sports and other extracurricular activities so that they’re kept busy and out of crime’s way. I think overloading the after-school calendars of kids primarily to keep them out of trouble is a hefty price to pay, and a misguided contingency plan. I’d like to think that my children refrain from criminal acts because I’ve taught them to respect the property of others, not because I’ve kept them busy during their after-school hours. I won’t make assumptions about why the boys who have been charged with the

act of arson in North Vancouver chose to set fire to the school roof, but I don’t believe that “they were simply bored” is the answer either. There are many great benefits to enrolling kids in sports and keeping them busy with activities, but if a child’s day is jam-packed with scheduled activities and screen time, there is also a risk of missing out on the opportunity to explore their imaginative, creative, and intuitive tendencies. When it comes to kids committing crimes, the problem doesn’t lie in the boredom itself, but in the children not learning how to channel that boredom in a safe and healthy way. If parents present themselves as positive role models, set boundaries for their kids, teach them that there are consequences for their actions, and provide them with the right tools to engage in safe forms of self-entertainment, boredom can be the backbone to a child’s success, not the breaking point to put them behind bars.

now underway is designed to focus attention on the rights enshrined in the United Declaration of Human Rights. Individuals or groups in Metro Vancouver can apply for grants ranging from $500 to $2,000. “If you have a bold, innovative idea that promotes a specific human right, or educates people on their rights, we have up to $2,000 to support you,” says Hazel Postma, chair of Human Rights Internet (HRI). Individuals, artists, community associations, schools and non-profit groups can apply for the grants via a simple online application at www.hri.ca.The deadline to apply is Oct. 15. “HRI was established more than 40 years ago to connect groups working on human rights issues around the world,” Postma said in a press release. “Our mission is to provide information and to educate people on human rights, from freedom of opinion to the right to an education, to work, to have the basic necessities of life.” If the pilot grant is successful, it will be rolled out in Toronto and Ottawa in 2019. “We don’t know what to expect in the way of applications, but we have tried to make the process as simple as possible so that students, neighbourhood groups, immigrant societies and so on can, with a little financial help, inspire and educate others about our human rights, ” Postma said.

Aug. 26 marked the 65th wedding anniversary for longtime New Westminster residents Don and Evelyn Benson, who celebrated the occasion with a big bash at their property on Keats Island.The couple met at Duke of Connaught High

School (now the site where city hall is located), got engaged after graduating in 1952 and married the following year. Through the decades, they’ve each been recognized for a variety of achievements and contributed to a lengthy list of endeavours in New Westminster.We don’t have enough space to cover them all, but here’s a sampling of some of their contributions: * Evelyn, a former New Westminster Citizen of the Year, taught at New Westminster Secondary School, where she helped found a school jazz choir with Charlotte Diamond. * Don’s contributions to lacrosse resulted in him being name a life member of the New Westminster Minor and British Columbia lacrosse associations. He helped spearhead an effort that led to New Westminster hosting (with Burnaby) the 1973 Canada Summer Games, competed and medaled in masters track and field events, was named the City of New Westminster’s poet laureate in 2000 and promoted to poet laureate emeritus in 2007 Together, the Bensons helped create the Royal City Musical Theatre Company, organized the First Night event on NewYear’s Eve 1995 and helped start local track clubs. Both Bensons are authors of several books. “Don and Evelyn Benson raised five children in a family heritage home which has been in the family since 1905.They now have 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren,” said a write-up submitted to the Record. “Six months a year, the Bensons enjoy their 10-acre waterfront property on Keats Island where they welcome friends and family every summer. The cottage, the guest facilities and the impressive landscaping represent over 35 years of hands-on work by Don and Evelyn and their extended family.”

Business Pizza Pizza expanding into B.C. with New West location Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Pizza Pizza is kicking off its expansion into British Columbia in the Royal City. The company, which operates more than 750 locations across Canada, recently opened its first B.C. location in uptown New West.The New Westminster Pizza Pizza opened at 527 Sixth St. on July 10. “New West was selected as of one of the initial locations of our B.C. market entry because of its ideal location that can service both our dine-in and take-out customers in the area,” said from Philip Goudreau, senior vice-president of operations and development at Pizza Pizza Limited. “Based off of our market research, we thought that the family-oriented, yet business feel of New West would be the perfect location for our first Pizza Pizza restaurant in B.C.” The opening in New

Westminster marks the start of the pizza franchise’s expansion across Greater Vancouver, where locations are slated in Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey in 2018 and 2019. For more info, visit www. pizzapizza.ca. PIZZA BIZ CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING And still on the topic of pizza, Morgan Ruff is hoping seven is a lucky number for Pappa Leo’s. The 21-year-old Coquitlam resident had worked at Pappa Leo’s in Port Coquitlam for four years when the company owners offered him the opportunity to purchase the New Westminster location. He recently held a grand opening celebration of the Pappa Leo’s seventh restaurant at 102-450 East Columbia St. “I did not hesitate,” he said in an email to the Record. “This experience is very exciting and educational. I am putting in 12-hour days every day, seven days a week. I am meeting lots of

new people, and New West is definitely my home away from home.” Ruff is a 2015 graduate of Dr. Charles Best Secondary School, where he enjoyed marketing and business classes. Aside from two classes at BCIT, he had no business-related experience before opening the seventh Pappa Leo’s franchise in Sapperton last June. “Our pizza is cheesier,

meatier, thicker and tastier,” he said, when asked what makes Pappa Leo’s pizza different from other restaurants. CARTWRIGHT WINS AWARD Cartwright Jewelers Ltd. recently picked up some hardware from the Canadian Jewelry Group. The New West business, which has been family

owned and operated since opening in the Royal City in 1933, was named Western Canadian Retailer of the Year by the Canadian Jewelry Group, which consists of 121 stores across Canada. Owner Susan Cartwright Coates said it’s beneficial to have a forum where she can exchange ideas and information with her peers. “The award was given at our annual AGM which is

held in Toronto.The award is comprised of several factors, participation with the other members, support of our suppliers, attending the AGM, educational seminars and buying show,” she said in an email to the Record. “It is a great honour to be recognized within the jewellery industry, for what I do is truly a passion to me.” Send business news to Theresa, tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca.

Royals get slim edge on M’s Douglas women split two-game series in Nanaimo Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Chalk it up to the rivalry. No matter where they meet, it seems Douglas College and Vancouver Island University are always locked in a heated battle, especially when framed on the soccer pitch. It was no different this weekend, as the women’s teams split a pair of games in Nanaimo. Douglas took the first game 3-2, before bowing 1-0 in the followup a day later. The Royals, defending provincial champions and hosts for the 2018 national tournament, didn’t let the Island home advantage wear on them in Saturday’s opener. And while they surrendered the opening tally, the visitors showed a flare for a quick comeback en route to their second win of the season. “We didn’t get too caught up in the score and we came back quickly each time,” remarked Douglas coach Chris Laxton. Down 1-0 just 12 minutes into the contest, Douglas tied it on Taylor Wettig tally at the 26-minute mark. A minute later, Sofia Flores-Aguilera gave the Royals their first lead by capitalizing on a Mariners miscue. Five minutes into the second half, Vancouver Island drew even on Malorie Hanson’s tally. But once again, a quick reply changed the game.This time, just three minutes after Hanson’s tying goal, league scoring leader Mikayla Hamilton put the Royals up for good. Both goalkeepers – Douglas’ Alexa Gazzola and VIU’s Melanie Osborne – finished with six saves on the day. Hamilton’s marker was a nice strike that highlighted her growth as a finisher, Laxton said. “(Hamilton) has shown a lot of composure and focused on the technique, rather than just putting balls at the net.” In Sunday’s rematch, the teams battled through a scoreless first half before Dawson netted the lone goal of the game three minutes into the second frame in the Mariners’ 1-0 win. The Royals ramped up the offence over the second half, especially after they fell behind, but couldn’t put anything past Osborne. “It was pretty much a stalemate, but VIU came out better defensively and took away the chances we were getting (in the first game),” remarked the coach. “(Dawson’s) shot was a very good shot but it was a bad giveaway from us.We’ll learn from that.” Douglas, in first at 2-1-1, hosts Capilano University on Saturday, 1 p.m. at Coquitlam Town Centre, then head to Capilano on Sunday.

Hyacks batten down the hatches Defence, turnovers give NewWest advantage en route to win over Abbotsford Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Decisively dominant, the New Westminster Hyacks defence laid down the law Friday and proceeded to handcuff the Abbotsford Panthers’ offence. The end result was a pretty convincing 40-6 exhibition win for the defending B.C. champions, as they celebrated the annual Homecoming game festivities. And while there was plenty of pomp and circumstance before the opening kick-off, the big noise was the game itself, and how New West executed its gameplan to a ‘T.’ It all centred around a defence that gave no quarters, held the Panthers to 76 yards of offence, and generated enough turnovers – seven -- to supply a Pillsbury franchise. “Defensively, our group played pretty much lights out,” remarked Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji. “(Abbotsford wasn’t) getting much of anything, big, small or otherwise.We were swarming.They have a big physical line and we did a good job

of getting after them and getting into the back field to make it hard on their running backs and quarterback.” Outside of a couple of kick returns, the Panthers were held captive and limited to a single third-down converted chance. They did return their first kick deep into New West territory, but the Hyacks defence shut that down quickly. At the other end, New West opened the scoring when quarterback Kinsale Philip dashed 48 yards for six points. Defensive back Ajay Chol made it 12-0 with a 25-yard interception return before the end of the half. He would begin the second quarter with a 52-yard TD catch from Philip, upping the lead to a comfortable 19-0 score. Into the second half, another Abbotsford turnover led to Philip’s one-yard QB keep, and was followed by Shaye Rathjen’s 39yard fumble return. It stood at 34-0 and looked like a whitewash. The lone blemish came on the kick return after Rathjen’s major, when the Panthers’ Ryan Street gathered up the kick and rambled

right, 90 yards into the New West end zone. While the Hyacks continued to threaten and had two majors called back due to penalties, the final score came from Mahtab Garcha’s nine-yard dash with six minutes remaining. Even with some impressive drives to the list of highlights, New West’s win, which put them

Our defence was like lights out all game. 2-1 overall, 1-0 in conference play, was all about the defence. “I think a lot of really good turnovers – our defence was like lights out all game,” said Philip, who finished with eight pass completions on 13 attempts for 87 yards, and 64 yards garnered on eight runs. “The only points they got was on special teams. Our offence was executing but they were blitzing a bit more than we anticipated. It was a real-

ly good game and I think we improved in a lot of areas.” Because Lalji had made a point of how the week previous’ win – a regular season-opening 36-14 decision over Carson Graham – had its share of flaws, the team was focused on putting out a clean, lean performance. Beyond a few second half offside penalties that wiped out a pair of majors, the effort was efficient and on task, which gave the coach cause to smile, and credited his quarterback for setting the tone. “Last week I think we let the crowd affect our emotions and we took some dumb penalities and did some dumb things,” said Lalji. “(Against Abbotsford) we really focused on what is important, and that’s the performance; it wasn’t celebrating for the fans and all the non-football related things. Kinsale did a really good job to keep his emotions and make sure others did, too.” New West finished with 264 total yards and limited Abbotsford to just 76 and just three first downs.

Seven turnovers set tone for Hyacks

Continued from page 36 up a game-high four tackles, while defensive playerof-the-game Evan Nolli,Titgol Jok and Rathjen had three apiece. Grade 10 Vishaan Narayan, meanwhile, continued to impress on both sides of the line. “Evan was strong and Vishaan was really, really good for a second straight game. He’s only a 10th grader so he’s only going to get better,” said Lalji. “I thought he was dominant (on the defensive line), but right across the board, Evan, Saahil Bhambra, Darrio Cade, or any of the guys we rolled through there they played well.” Now, it’s back to regular

season play with a game in North Vancouver against 1-1 Handsworth, who fell 36-19 to Mount Douglas last week. Getting away from nearperfect home conditions, where more than 2,000 fans turned out despite a rainy forecast, will be another test for the reigning champs. “(Handsworth) is a good team,” noted Lalji. “(Receiver) Keelan White is one of the best players in the province, and he may be the best skilled player in the province so we’ll have our work cut out with him.They’ve got some other good pieces, so the meat grinder of the AAA west (conference) begins.”

Royals’ Race sets pace

The Douglas College men’s soccer team maintained its grasp on first place in the PacWest circuit, thanks to a five-goal weekend from Race Williams. The third-year Royal tallied three times in a 4-2 doubling over Vancouver Island University on Saturday, and chipped in two a day later in a 3-3 draw against the same team. Burnaby’s Edris Najm tied it with 20 minutes remaining.
