Emotional visit for Xeni Gwet’in Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A visit to the old courthouse and a former cemetery site in NewWestminster was an emotional day for members of the Xeni Gwet’in First Nation. Xeni Gwet’in First Nation is one of six Tsilhqot’in communities that make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation. Tsilhqot’in Chief Ahan was executed in NewWestminster in 1865, but it’s unclear where he was buried, with locations near the old courthouse in downtown and a former cemetery on the high school sites being considered potential sites. “It was emotional,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who recently accompanied the visitors to the both sites. “It was very powerful.” The visitors intend to visit NewWestminster again on July 18, 2019, which will be the 154th anniversary of Ahan’s execution in NewWestminster. Ahan was one of six Tsilhqot’in chiefs sentenced to hang for their roles in the ChilcotinWar. “He was a hero. All of the six chiefs were heroes,” Puchmayr said. “They were defending their land.” In March, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued an apology on behalf of the federal government, saying the six chiefs were leaders of a nation and were acting in accordance with their laws and traditions.That followed a 2014 apology by then B.C. Premier Christy Clark for the “wrongful” executions of leaders who were “engaged in a territorial dispute to defend their lands and their peoples.”

Puchmayr, who has spearheaded efforts to create a sister community relationship between the city and the Tl-etinqox government, has been invited to witness Trudeau’s visit of their declared title lands in November. It will be the first time in Canadian history that the prime minister will meet with the people and address the wrongs of the Chilcotin War of 1864/65. When meeting with the Xeni Gwet’in delegation, Puchmayr showed them maps from the city’s archives that showed the new high school isn’t being built on land once home to a cemetery. Xeni Gwet’in Chief Jimmy Lulua, who was among those who visited NewWestminster, expressed a desire to be part of a local committee that will be discussing ways of honouring and memorializing the cemetery site. While visiting the site of the old courthouse on Carnarvon Street, talk turned to the presence of the Judge Begbie statue in front of today’s courthouse. Begbie had presided over the murder trial of five of the Tsilhqot’in chiefs, who were found guilty and sentenced to hang in 1864. “We were standing in front of the old courthouse, and Judge Begbie’s statute was right behind us,” Puchmayr said. “Some believe Begbie should be there as a reminder, but there should also be recognition of Ahan. Most of the Tsilhqot’in people think that the statue should be taken down, just like the Law Society did in Vancouver when they took the Begbie statue down.”

The City of New Westminster’s new economic development plan has crossed the finish line. Council recently adopted the Future Forward plan, which has been in the works since the fall of 2016. The plan has four main goals: establish New Westminster’s reputation as an ideal location for both start-ups and established businesses to thrive and grow; drive New Westminster’s commitment to delivery of a positive business experience at city hall; secure diversity in the local economic base through recruitment, retention and expansion activities; and support livability initiatives that make New Westminster a great place to live, work and invest. “The supporting actions focus on marketing and promoting the city as a place for business, solidifying key stakeholder relations and development of collaboration initiatives while laying the foundation for continued economic growth,” said a staff report. “Furthermore, business retention and attraction efforts focus on the key sectors of education, health care and technology and creative.These sectors share well-paying jobs and growth potential, critical factors for business in the larger Metro Vancouver region.” Continued on page 8

ning. It wasn’t about the film at that point; it was about listening to Betty.” he two filmmakers realized early on that January’s experiences as a trans woman of colour deserved an exploration of their own.They tracked down other trans women of colour and included them in the film, too. “We wanted to talk to people who could have led a life like January’s,” Gress said. “We needed that part of it.” The message about the precariousness of life for trans women of colour – in particular those who, like January, end up in sex work – was an important one for Sangha. “I think a lot of people still pass judgment on choices they make in their lives,” Sangha said. “It’s survival sex work, and there’s many different reasons why trans women end up in survival sex work.” Sangha notes trans women often face difficulty getting hired. “January tried to get hired at different places and she wouldn’t get hired. People didn’t feel comfortable around her and they wouldn’t hire her,” he said, adding he would sometimes try to talk January out of pursuing sex work. “She would say, ‘Are you going to buy my groceries? Are you going to pay my rent? How am I going to survive?’” Sangha said the film helps drive home the message about trans safety and sex worker safety. “When someone dies, she’s not just a statistic, a sex worker who’s killed,” he said. “She had an impact on her friends, her family, her community. … No one has the right to kill you just because you’re in the sex trade.” That was an important underlying message for Gress and Son, who wanted to make it clear that trans women of colour live a very particular set of hardships, but without creating a film that dwells on those hardships.

“We wanted to step away from a lot of the ways that trans women of colour are portrayed,” Gress said. “Let’s step away, let’s talk about her. … It wasn’t about the murder, it wasn’t about her death; it was about her. She was a person.” or Sangha, the film was a success. “They really did a fitting tribute to January,” he said. “It’s a really authentic, really real film about a really loving person, and it comes across as that.” Sangha said he and January’s other friends are finally starting to move on, a little, from her loss. He’s still reminded of January every time he crosses the Pattullo from Surrey to NewWest. “I feel like I’m going to see January, but she’s not there,” he said. “I still get emotional, I still get sad. I still feel, am I ever going to see her again?” SHERVancouver lost its spark for awhile after January’s death, Sangha said. January was a huge part of the group, serving as its social coordinator, and not having her there left them adrift. “We basically shut down after she died.The group just couldn’t function.We just didn’t feel like celebrating and having parties,” he

said. But, slowly, they’ve built up their work again – they have peer support groups, crisis counselling, a float in theVancouver Pride parade and in theVaisakhi parade. In January’s name, they’ve also set up the January Marie Lapuz Youth Leadership Award, given annually to a person between the ages of 16 and 30 who has demonstrated commitment to and leadership in the LGBTQ community. Now, My NameWas January is another way Sangha can honour his friend. He’s been submitting it to film festivals all over the continent with great success (see a complete list of its achievements at www.newwestrecord.ca), and he’s hoping it will make its way into libraries and educational institutions to serve as a learning resource. Gress hopes the film can continue to educate people about the experiences of trans women. “The big picture was to encourage change,” she said. “We kind of hoped it would strike some sort of change, or at least make people more open-minded. By showing people she was a person, we might strike change that way.”

CRIME

Warrant issued in Iced Capp case Stories by Cayley Dobie cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Police have identified the man caught in a surveillance footage screaming at employees at a New Westminster Tim Hortons last month. Alan Sam Deguillaume, 28, is wanted on a B.C.wide arrest warrant for assault and mischief after an incident at the Tim Hortons location at Shops at New West at Eighth and Carnarvon streets on Sept. 6, according to a press release from police. The incident happened at about 7:20 p.m. Officers were called to the restaurant following reports of a disturbance inside. In surveillance footage of the incident, the suspect is seen verbally attacking staff before eventually pouring the Iced Capp on the counter and knocking the register onto the ground. Police say the alter-

cation began when the suspect ordered an Iced Capp, and he complained to staff that the order was wrong. Before fleeing the scene, police allege the suspect kicked and punched another customer who had tried to intervene in the incident. Deguillaume was iden-

Man arrested in connection with possession of child porn Police are recommending charges against a New Westminster man in connection to the discovery of images depicting child sexual abuse. The man’s arrest comes after a month-long investigation that began on Aug. 14. Police were tasked to look into six separate reports of images of child pornography circulating in the city, according to a police press release. Investigators identified three locations in NewWestminster where these images were being stored and, as a result, executed nine different warrants at three homes

in the city. Officers seized and analyzed computers, tablets, cellphones, modems, external hard drives, USB flash drives, routers and other electronic devices, noted the release. One local man was arrested following the searches, and police have recommended charges to Crown counsel. Police say several other individuals are still being investigated. “Often times offenders think that viewing these images is victimless, but the sad truth is that these are images and videos of real

children being sexually abused,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release. “Our major crime unit has devoted countless hours investigating these crimes, which we take very seriously.” Charges have been recommended to Crown counsel against the individual arrested, and officers are continuing their investigation into other persons of interest, according to police. The Record asked for more details about the suspect and the investigation, but police did not respond by deadline.

Opinion OUR VIEW

We don’t mind grovelling to get you to vote Saturday Well, it’s that time again. The time when we ask you, dear citizens, to vote. Perhaps “ask” is too subtle a word. How about beg? Plead? Grovel? OK, we’ll go with grovel – we are grovelling on bended knee with tears streaming down our faces to get you to vote this Saturday in the civic election. Sure, we’re debasing ourselves, but we don’t mind if that’s what it takes to get you off your duffs and into one of the convenient poll-

ing stations. It’s embarrassing, really, that we have to do this. There are people in countries that don’t have free, democratic governments who have never had the chance to vote in an election.There are others who do get to vote, but in elections that are rigged by despots. But not you.You live in a society in which your local government spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold free elections. They advertise the dates in which you can vote and in-

clude a list of all the candidates. They print up handy cards with all of the information.They even hold voting sessions on multiple dates just to make sure you have some options. They hand it all to you on the proverbial silver platter. And yet ... roughly three out of every four eligible voters won’t bother to take a few minutes every four years to mark a ballot. It’s enraging, really. It forces us to use precious space on our opinion page to grovel so you’ll exer-

cise your democratic rights. And it’s not like it’s for no reason. Civic elections receive the lowest voter turnouts out of the big three elections, despite having politicians who are the most accessible out of those levels of government. Most months you can see them live right in your own community. Then there are the things that civic politicians have some or total control over. Property taxes. Road infrastructure. Housing. Sidewalks. Recreation facilities. Schools. Garbage collec-

tion. Recycling. Community events. You can’t seriously tell us you don’t care about those things. Then there are the candidates.This year we have a diverse group of people who have put their names forward.They come from all walks of life and cover a wide range of the political spectrum. Some of them have been in power for a long time – maybe too long for your liking. Some are newbies on the political scene – maybe too new for you to feel comfortable

with. If you don’t think your vote matters, remember that some of these races might be really close. Your single vote could be the deciding one for a candidate you like. Our point is that some of these people are going to be elected, so you might as well take part in voting for those who seem to be worthy. Stay with the old guard you think have been doing a good job. Or help sweep in some new blood if you want changes. Whatever you do, don’t sit at home.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

The politics of the carbon tax

Can the BC NDP government’s plan to hike its carbon tax to $50 a tonne by 2021 hold up in the face of a growing number of premiers opposed to it? Doing this is presumably a cornerstone of the NDP government’s climate plan (which I noted here last week will be released later this fall). Evidence shows raising the price on carbon usage is the most efficient way to lower greenhouse gas emissions. However, as a tax on carbon grows in size, it can become a political hot potato. Certainly, conservative premiers in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan think so. Doug Ford, Scott Moe and Brian Pallister all oppose the carbon tax. Joining those three leaders in opposing the tax is Alberta United Conservative leader Jason Kenney. This mounting opposition presents a challenge to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has vowed to introduce a carbon tax set at $20 a tonne starting in 2019, and rising to $50 a tonne in 2022. Ford and Moe have threatened to go to court to block such a federal tax. Barring a successful legal challenge, the whole issue of a carbon tax will become a nasty political fight between at least a half dozen provinces and the federal government. All of which will put B.C. Premier John Horgan in a potentially strong position when it comes to provincialfederal relations. If Trudeau sticks to his

guns and introduces a new tax next year, Horgan will essentially be his only important ally among provincial premiers. Horgan may be able to use this scenario as a notso-subtle form of leverage in extracting things from the Trudeau government. Infrastructure funding over and above what has been promised seems likely, as does even more money for spill protection along B.C.’s coast. A potential fly in the ointment is if Trudeau blinks, and B.C. is left as the only province in the country with a carbon tax that will keep getting more expensive as time goes on. What would be the impact on the B.C. economy if this province has a $50 carbon tax and pretty well everywhere else has nothing resembling one? Presumably, the impact would not be a positive one when it comes to attracting investment in all kinds of economic sectors. I can’t see Horgan folding his cards on this, even if Trudeau caves. He needs a carbon tax – and a big one at that – to allow the LNG Canada project to fit within his climate plan. However, he may need the prime minister to hold his nerve and bring in that tax over the objections of so many premiers. Carbon taxes can be politically dicey, but they are increasingly vital to have any chance at fighting global warming. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Work begins on Justice Institute Dignitaries from Victoria and the Lower Mainland gathered in New West for a sod-turning ceremony for the new $34-million Justice Institute. Established in 1978, the JIBC trains police officers, firefighters, paramedics, sheriffs, probation officers and others in the justice and public safety services.The main campus had been in Vancouver, but local MLA Anita Hagen fought to have the school brought to New West. After a two-year site selection process, officials picked the old Douglas College site at the corner of Eighth Avenue and McBride Boulevard. Construction was set to begin in August and be completed by late 1994.

Woman of colour finally feels ‘seen’ on the ballot Editor: Women of colour are empowered but do not receive the same airtime as white women. Diversity is like sprinkles on a cake – you can add as little or as much as you would like, even opting for none at all. Representation is being an essential ingredient of the cake. In this civic election, I finally feel “seen” on the voting ballot. Everyone deserves to be represented in their communities. Jodie Ortega, New Westminster

‘Absurd’ to think Q to Q being set up for failure Editor: Re: Q to Q is being set up for failure, Record letters, Oct. 11 As someone who has been vehemently advocating for a fixed link between Queensborough and Quayside in the form of a mixed-use bridge (pedestrian, bicycle and passenger LRT), the Q2Q is a service that I have been critical of in the past. However, let me be clear and unequivocal, it is not being set up for failure by council – and there is no evidence to support such an absurd claim. Council has worked incredibly hard, harder than any other previous council I can account for in my 20-plus years of living in this city, to make this work and build a lasting link to the Queensborough community. They have done so despite the many chal-

lenges that are inherent to transportation projects within this region, as well as the budgetary constraints that they have been left with due to previous negligent councils, and they’ve succeeded in creating a connection between our communities that we are all proud of. This project is still in a “testing” phase. That is, the city and contractor are still in the process of collecting and analyzing data which will ensure that any future and permanent solutions don’t turn this vital link into a “Fast Ferry Fiasco.” I am sure that we can all sympathize with wanting to get it right the first time. Proper, prudent research takes time. It takes patience. I kindly ask that we afford council the opportunity to see this out. Nicholas Page, New Westminster

HCA has been good for the Queen’s Park area Editor: Re: Where is New West’s most soughtafter neighbourhood? Record online, Oct. 5. Just read this short, yet insightful story that states that Queen’s Park is the most searched and sought-after neighbourhood in New Westminster. It is comforting to know that the Heritage Conservation Area has not resulted in the dire consequences that some residents feared. In an uncertain market, Queen’s Park remains competitive and sales indicate buyers are drawn to the neighbourhood, either unfazed by the HCA or attracted to it because of its heritage merits.

City EDUCATION

New West school district set to hire additional staff Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school board recently approved $500,000 in extra funding to hire more staff at local schools. The decision was made in September after senior district administrators approached the school board to ask that $500,000 from the 2017-18 school year’s surplus be used to alleviate “immediate staffing pressures,” according to a staff report. The funding gives staff flexibility to address staffing

pressures in schools beyond what is mandated in a collective agreement.The first step is to identify where the need is, and so the district’s learning services team set out to determine where additional support would be a benefit, according to the district. “The classrooms of 2018 are complex and diverse. … The ability to draw on these funds, thanks to the support of the board, could, for example, allow us cover additional educational assistant or teaching support beyond the ministry formula for designated students where

our learning environments and student needs could benefit,” reads a statement from the district. The Record asked what schools the new staff would be assigned to and what kinds of positions they would be, and, according to the district, it’s an ongoing process with some positions already posted and more expected later this fall. Enrolment for the 201819 is sitting at 7,200, which is higher than predicted in February, and so the district will also be hiring for any additional staff that comes out of that as well.

Plan moving New West to ‘next level’ Continued from page 1 Retiring councillor Bill Harper noted the city didn’t even have an economic development strategy a decade ago. He said the new plan is a “step up and a step forward” for the city.

“We have come a long, long way,” he said. “It has really paid off in terms of the development of our tax base, which was actually being eroded with the disappearing of sawmills and things.To re-energize ourselves as a city and

to build those relationships with the business community, I think has been a huge success.What this plan is is moving to the next level. It’s moving to a higher level of participation by the city in the development of the economy here.”

Community

New Westminster named an ‘age-friendly’ city Maria Rantanen

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster has been recognized for being age-friendly, both in its services and its infrastructure. After being recognized by the Alzheimer’s Society in 2016 as the first dementia-friendly community in Canada, the Royal City was recognized by the provincial government on Saturday as being “age-friendly” at a ceremony at Century House, the seniors centre opened by Princess Margaret 60 years ago. Last Saturday, New Westminster joined other communities like Harrison Hot Springs and Pitt Meadows with a provincial “age-friendly” recognition. Judy Darcy, New Westminster MLA and Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, presented the AgeFriendly certificate to the mayor of New Westminster. The designation is a result of the extensive training and education for city staff to be helpful and supportive of seniors, and the physical infrastructure improvements throughout the city, Darcy said. “It’s on-the-ground initia-

tives. It’s not just talking the talk, it’s walking the walk,” she said. “We really want to encourage, as a province, other communities to do that.” New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté is proud of the training and education as well as the initiatives within the city to ensure that all aspects of city services take into consideration that 15 per cent of the population of New Westminster is made up of seniors. “We have a long history in the community of looking at all our actions in the community through the lens of the seniors community,” Coté said. Staff, council and various agencies in the city underwent extensive education and training to integrate the perspective of seniors, including their mobility challenges, into all functions of the city, including city planning, recreation, Century House – even the police were given training to be mindful of the stresses around wandering dementia patients, Coté pointed out. “There has to be a recognition that we want to be a community that serves our residents, young and old –

SENIORS FESTIVAL: Roots, soul and blues band Lesismore brings their musical stylings to the stage for the Seniors Festival on Saturday at Century House. The city earned a provincial “age-friendly” recognition at the festival. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER and you have to be able to access services,” Coté said. As an older city, much of New Westminster was built before accessibility was a priority, so the city has had to do work to retrofit older buildings. And accessibility should be “paramount” in designing all new buildings, Coté added, “not only to meet the minimum standards, but to exceed and always be thinking of that.” New Westminster was the first community in B.C. where every single intersection had a curb letdown, Coté pointed out, something they accomplished just this past year. “That was a conscious effort over the past four years to basically ramp up our sidewalk budget and put that as a priority,” he said. “A sidewalk isn’t helpful if

you can’t get down to the street.”That, he added, can help both seniors and families who are pushing a stroller. Coté said when making decisions, city officials have to recognize there are many different people of different ages that will use the facilities. He has himself learned through the training, for example, by getting into a wheelchair himself, how small things like a crack in the sidewalk can be a problem. Coté was on hand to receive the award from the province on Saturday, and he said it’s the result of work done over the long-term. “I don’t think it’s something the city has earned overnight – I think it really is over the past decade, New Westminster has done a lot

of actions to kind of lead up to this point,” Coté said. Sylvester Helmink, who is 90, was at the Seniors Festival and said he was impressed by the festivities. While he said he feels he should volunteer more with Century House and its activities, he enjoys attending their events. “It’s the friendliest of any them – we’re like one big family,” Helmink said. Looking to the future, Century House needs to make sure they’re integrating all seniors, including recent immigrants and First Nations seniors, said Robyn McGuinness, manager of seniors and youth with New Westminster Parks and Recreation. “I would hope we can reach out and we can support seniors from First Na-

tions, or collaborate with them,” she said, adding that all parks and recreation facilities should be representative of the community. Century House is run by the City of New Westminster’s parks and recreation department and by the Century House Association, a charitable society that oversees 45 volunteerled activity groups. Century House Association has 2,200 members and is co-located with the youth centre, with whom they share space.There are 300 volunteers, including 20 who help in the kitchen. Century House is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. It was opened in 1958 and has had four additions since then.

Advertorial

TEAM COTE RECORD WORTHY OF OUR VOTE Councillor, Chuck Puchmayr

As someone who has diligently served the citizens of New Westminster since 1996, both as a city councillor and as a member of the Provincial Legislature, I can say without a doubt that this current city council has been the most productive, open and respectful that I have ever witnessed in my 22 years of public service.

This council has made New Westminster a national leader in open government and public access to open data. Our city council is also open to anyone wishing to speak without onerous advance scheduling.

We have become a top 21 Smart City in the world by working with learning institutions, business organizations and The bold move to reduce the 13 proposed the technology community. The ambitious high rise towers on the waterfront down to creation of Bridgenet, a high speed fibre only 2, and then turn the land into a mulit- provider, is creating high paying tech jobs award winning park is just one example of in our city. the leadership shown by this group.

New schools and seismic upgrades are a result of our great working relationship with the current provincial government. Now Queensborough is next line for needed infrastructure funding.

any cost to the New Westminster taxpayer, has a convention center so successful that it is booking years in advance. It’s New Media Gallery is unique to Canada and is one of the highest drawing galleries in the province. We have witnessed this city go from crime, drug use, and homelessness to one of exciting opportunities and community engagement. Our council has made great strides to move us in a positive direction.

That is why this election is so important. In this election, we are being challenged by a group calling themselves progressives. They are working hard to confuse voters by using branding meant to resemble the NDP. They have attacked Team Cote candidates with misinformation and nasty Vancouver-style attack ads. Don’t be fooled by this. Team Cote’s group of independent council and school board candidates will keep moving this amazing city forward in a modern transition that will remain inclusive, transparent and respectful.

Looking for change at School Board & City Hall? ideas that will help strengthen our rapidly growing community! Our current Mayor and his slate of politicians control 100% of the council and a majority on the school board. They are counting on low voter turnout to return to power - as only 28% of New West residents cast their ballot in the last election. Make your voice heard and please be part of the change and vision our city needs to prepare for the future.

MacGregor said playing host for this version of The Amazing Race taught him as much as the other participants. “You can’t do the manager role on your own,” he said. “All the answers are out there on the front-line. If you include and communicate with people, they’ve got great suggestions.” In January, just before the game started, he shifted his workday to start at 6:30 a.m. in order to overlap with the night staff and discuss any issues that arose overnight – a practice he cred-

Institute. One of the biggest plot twists was how important culture-building, not just information-sharing, became as the game went on. “Teams got together at each other’s homes or through social networks to strategize, learn, solve and complete tasks required,” MacGregor said. “The race itself was complex and kept me sincerely busy, but the outcomes are astounding.” Some of those outcomes include rolling out a new delirium protocol, code red education, and front-line staff creating processes to

An Amazing Racestyle competition at Royal Columbian Hospital’s 5 South/5 North wing was the “ultimate communication game” and earned the team an Above and Beyond Innovator Award from Fraser Health. Chris MacGregor had just begun his job as manager at Royal Columbian Hospital when he participated in a regional care and discharge planning summit. Inspired by the theme of engaging an interprofessional team in care and discharge planning, he returned to 5 South/5 North with the idea of the competitive race. “I didn’t realize just how engaged they would be. I didn’t expect the competitiveness,” he said. “It was just like the show.” Inspired by the popular reality series, MacGregor worked with JenWest, a clinical nurse educator, to design different “geographical” routes with clues requiring teamwork that led to a specific goal, with the added challenge of roadblocks

and U-turns. Each of the 12 self-selected teams of six consisted of four nurses, one doctor, plus one more staff member.To spread the game’s lessons with the entire unit, bonus points were awarded for sharing with those who weren’t on one of the teams. For the first route, which took place in the grounds of Royal Columbian Hospital, teams worked collaboratively to understand care and discharge planning, leading to the launch of structured interprofessional rounds where nurses now report on their patients daily. Among other tasks, quality improvement projects, performance planning, and a stairclimbing challenge were incorporated too. “One team climbed the CN Tower more than 120 times by the end of the race,” MacGregor said. The other race routes took participants, virtually speaking, to South Korea for the Olympics, then Australia, Brazil, and back home to collect photos of hospital staff with “I am the patient experience” photos, for a project inspired by the Beryl

New West actor scares crowds at Fright Nights For a performer who loves improv and Halloween, nothing could be more fun than Fright Nights at the PNE. A New Westminster actor is among the creepy costumed characters bringing this year’s annual Halloween extravaganza to life. Anthony Trombetta is plunging himself into full monster mode for his turn at Fright Nights, which runs on select nights until Oct. 31. Trombetta used to be the artistic director for the Guild Theatre in Whitehorse, where he started running annual haunted houses. In a press release, he noted Halloween has always been his favourite time of year, so upon moving here he jumped at the chance to work at Fright Nights. “Scaring people became an itch I never knew I needed to scratch,” he said. Trombetta describes the event as “like a Mardi Gras for horror fans.” “Generally everyone comes together in the spirit of getting the crap scared out of them,” he said. Plus, he noted, the Fright Nights crew spends the time to make sure each costumed character has a professionalquality look before heading out to scare audiences. This year’s Fright Nights event includes eight haunted houses, live shows and, of course, the chance to ride 20 fear-inducing rides. The haunted houses include Bloodshed, a dilapidated cabin that’s home to a family of ruthless mutant murders; the Haunted Mansion, which promises a paranormal experience that’s not for the faint of heart; 3D experience of Car-n-Evil; and the Keepers Doll Factory, with a creepy lineup of characters roaming the halls in search of human sacrifices.

Arts & Entertainment New exhibition opens at Amelia Douglas Gallery

Opening reception for Face It! is set for Oct. 26 Faces are in focus in the next exhibition at Amelia Douglas Gallery. Face It!, an exhibition of work by Coquitlam artist Ornella Maruccio-Belhomme, runs from Wednesday, Oct. 24 to Saturday, Dec. 15 at the gallery at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus. An opening reception is set for Friday, Oct. 26 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., with an artist’s talk at 6:30 p.m. The exhibition is a collection of 32 pieces that share faces as a subject.The pieces use a variety of mediums and techniques, including fabric and paper collages, oil paintings on canvas and wood, watercolour paintings and hand-quilted textile panels. “I play with forms and materials until I reach a final composition, which, in some ways, will remind me of ‘perfection,’” MaruccioBelhomme said in a press release. “In my creative process there are no limits for inspiration, which can come as far as the depth of my memory and soul – the shape of archetypal forms – or from the space around me, in the shape of natural and human forms.” Maruccio-Belhomme is from Italy. Influenced by her father, who was also an art-

ist, she studied fine arts in Rome and went on to get a master’s degree in architecture. Until recently, her artwork has only been housed in private collections in Italy, Belgium, the U.K. and Canada. “We are thrilled to showcase Ornella in one of her first public gallery exhibitions,” said Krista Eide, arts events officer at Douglas College. “After a lifetime of making art, she is now bravely stepping forward to

share her multimedia artwork with a wider audience, and the aptly named Face It! is a unique body of work years in the making.” Amelia Douglas Gallery is on the fourth floor north at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave. It’s open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. See www.douglas college.ca/artsevents.

Night at the Museum gives kids a chance to explore the museum by flashlight, listen to some spooky stories about New West, make a creepy craft to take home, and play some oldtime Halloween fortunetelling games.

RETIRING COUNCILLOR GIVES BACK Lorrie Williams has been sharing her good fortune with community

groups far and wide. During a tour of a local warehouse facility in New West, the retiring city councillor learned that the company sometimes destroys or donates items that can be returned to the manufacturer. She submitted her name, thinking she might get lucky and get some household goods or diapers that she could donate to Monarch Place, a local transition house for women and children fleeing violence. “I got 100 lawnmowers,” she said with a laugh. After signing an agreement saying she wouldn’t resell the lawnmowers,Williams got to work distributing them to non-profits and churches around the city. Instead of being destroyed, Williams is thrilled she was able to find good homes for the lawnmowers. “People are sure delighted,” she said. “They are cordless.They are 16-inch – they are not big ones so they are not heavy.They are very manoeuvrable so you can get them around anywhere.” SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, NOV. 3 The Century House Association’s popular craft sale and tea is the place to be for crafts and gift ideas galore.You’ll find pottery, books, jewelry, hand quilting, original artwork, variety crafts, a bake sale, a white elephant sale, raffles and an

afternoon tea at the event that takes place on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 620 Eighth St. If you have items to donate to the sale, you can drop them off at Century House from Saturday, Oct. 27 to Friday, Nov. 2 at noon.

Got an anxious child? Check out this parents’ night out Cayley Dobie CLASS ACT

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The school year is in full swing and with that comes another batch of Parents’ Night Out events. The first event of the school year is happening Monday, Oct. 29 at the Justice Institute of B.C., 715 McBride Blvd.The topic for the evening is: Understanding and Managing Anxiety for Children andYouth. Hosted by the Parents’ Night Out committee and the New Westminster Police Department, these events are meant to inform and engage parents on topics affecting their kids.This month’s talk will include a presentation by Dr. Kristin Buhr, who works at the North Shore Stress and Anxiety Clinic. “Dr. Buhr specializes in assessing and treating anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic

stress disorder, self-esteem issues, stress and depression,” notes an event writeup. “The event will focus on recognizing anxiety, as well as strategies and tips for supporting a child suffering from anxiety.” The event runs from 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. It’s completely free, but registration is required (and if you miss out on tickets, you can line up outside the auditorium, and at 6:15 p.m. any unclaimed tickets will be released). For more information or to sign up go to tinyurl. com/parentsnightoutOctober. Childminding is available. Email Maylen Crespo at mcrespo@fsgv.ca to book a spot. HAPPY HALLOWEEN École Herbert Spencer Elementary school’s parent advisory council is once again hosting its annual Halloween Howl on Thursday, Oct. 25. Admission to the familyfriendly event is $2 per person and there’ll be danc-

ing, bingo, crafts, pumpkin bowling, 50/50 and a raffle, and a costume contest (so bring you’re A-game). And we can’t forget about the pumpkin carving contest. Bring your carved pumpkin to enter it into the contest. The Howl is on from 6 to 8 p.m. at the school, 605 Second St. DONATIONS WELCOME There’s still time to help Lord Kelvin Elementary school reach its fundraising goal for the 2018 Terry Fox Run. Students and staff completed their annual run in September, but the school is still accepting donations until the end of October.

Go to tinyurl.com/Kelvin FoxRun to donate.

OUR PAST

Autumn fun in city’s early years Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

When you look through the history of a town, you’ll often notice the changing ways in which special days and seasons were recognized and celebrated. In early NewWestminster, what made up the regular, recurrent, anticipated events during the fall months? Forming the foundation of autumnal activities, there were the crops, the harvest, and the days when products of the land started to arrive, frequently to great excitement and anticipation, at the local market.Tables, shelves and bins were full. Loaded wagons crowded nearby. Livestock milled about in pens and corrals. During the years in which the Provincial Exhibition took place in New Westmin-

ster, the anticipation of the exhibits, livestock shows, crop and products displays, entertainment and special events, grew throughout the summer months, peaking in the fall when the fair was held in Queen’s Park. Linked with the events in the city was the harvest in the valley, and fall often included a special set of excursions on the river. Sternwheel steamboats took residents to a variety of farms and agricultural areas along the river from its mouth to Chilliwack.This was an exciting opportunity to see the fields, sample many different products, and simply have fun prior to the arrival of winter and the river’s icing up. Also connected to riverboats and autumn was the beginning of the process of winterizing the vessels and

preparing places to shelter the boats out of the main channel, where they would be protected from the icy conditions to come. Of course, many years of the city’s early history included celebrating Halloween.There were usually bonfires, parties, and gatherings with entertainment, special foods, sweets, fireworks, and frequently plenty of mischievous youthful antics.There are wonderful descriptions of large homes and private schools decorated to great spooky, scary effect. This is but a brief glimpse of an early Royal City autumn.Then, as now, the months of fall were marked by cooler weather, changing colours of the trees, memories of the summer past and anticipation of the winter ahead.

Arts & Entertainment Wordsmiths of New West, these events are for you A ‘Dead Poets’ reading and a workshop in using tarot in your writing are among this month’s highlights Good news, word nerds: The Royal City Literary Arts Society has a busy month ahead. Here are a few of the events coming up for lit lovers in the city. TELLERS OF SHORT TALES The monthly Tellers of Short Tales event, which is designed to engage fans of the short story genre with emerging and published writers, is holding a special Halloween edition on Thursday, Oct. 18. The session, which runs from 6 to 8 p.m., will be all open mic for this one month – so if you have a favourite spooky or Halloween-themed story to share, here’s your chance. (In fact, organizers note that any story will do, but if your story is spooky, so much the better.) The session will be hosted by LozanYamolky and Janet Kvammen, and it’s happening in Room 417 at the Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St.

WRITING WORKSHOP Writers are invited to check out Using Tarot in Your Writing, a workshop led by Isabella Mori. It’s happening Saturday, Oct. 27 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St., Room 413A. Mori will look at a number of techniques for using tarot cards in your writing – from using a card as a simple prompt, to getting the cards to suggest ways to deal with any difficulties you may have in your writing life. You can bring your own tarot cards if you have them, but Mori will bring a wide variety of images inspired by her collection of 60-plus tarot card decks. The fee is $15 for members, $25 for non-members. Email secretary@rclas.com to register ahead. POETS WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE Janet “Lady Raven” Kvammen will host this year’s edition of the Po-

ets Wanted: Dead or Alive event on Sunday, Oct. 28 in the backroom at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St. The session, which runs from 2 to 4 p.m., will feature poetry by Candice James, who will be launching her new book The 13th Cusp. There will also be an

open mic, where people are invited to read their own dark, eerie, mysterious poetry or share the work of a “dead poet” of their choice. Prizes will be awarded for best costume, and admission is free. WORDPLAY NEW WEST Julia Schoennagel hosts

the next Wordplay session on Thursday, Nov. 1 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Network Hub (upstairs at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr.) It’s a special Day of the Dead edition, featuring tarot card writing prompts, as well as the New West Artists’ Black & White art show for inspiration.

Wordplay is an idea-generating series, not a critique group, so just bring along your own writing tools and paper and get ready to have some fun generating first drafts. See www.rclas.com for details of all the society’s programs and events.

Community Keep your germy hands off our babies Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

A new baby is a beacon for attention. Strangers can’t help but peek at your little pride and joy, commenting on how cute they are and asking prying questions. For new moms, the added attention can be daunting. I can still remember taking my first-born baby for her inaugural stroll through the park.When one stranger reached into my stroller and stroked my baby’s head, I cringed, but then retracted. I didn’t like that someone I didn’t know was touching my baby without my permission, but I thought that maybe I was just being a neurotic first-time mom. While our interaction with the handsy stranger left me feeling uncomfortable, the impact soon passed. Unfortunately for some parents, the same scenario could have had far more damaging effects. Recently, an image of a

“No Touching” sign dangling from the handle of a car seat has gone viral on social media.The sign reads, “NO TOUCHING.Your germs are too BIG for me,” sparking debate between parents. The stroller and car seat tags were designed by Johanna Ackerman, who started Tags4Tots in hopes of protecting her nephew who was born with a heart defect. If he were to get sick, his life would have been put in jeopardy, so she created a solution to keep strangers from spreading unwanted germs. Later, Johanna’s niece, who was born premature, contracted a cold, causing an infection in her tiny body.This inspired the set of tags designed specifically to keep hands off preemies. After years of selling a product designed to keep preemies safe, the creator of the tags gave birth to a baby born 10 weeks early. She continues to create signs in hopes of protecting children from unwanted illnesses, this time from a personal

perspective. While some agree that it’s a necessary diversionary approach to pawing passersby, others think it’s just a money grab for germaphobes. Comments such as, “Children need germs, their bodies need it to fight off sickness,” are sprinkled in amongst complimentary posts on the company’s Facebook feed.

With the cold and ﬂu season in full swing, new babies are at a high health risk

In response, a reply from Tags4Tots reads: “You will probably see a lot of people saying how kids ‘need’ germs and I just wanted to say that our signs protect premature babies and babies who are (immunocompromised). But, we also give

peace of mind to those with newborns and babies.These help from unwanted contact germs from well-intended strangers. Unfortunately, we don’t know what could be on the hands of someone. The most common germs found on the hands of people randomly tested included e-coli, norovirus, and MRSA (staph).” With the cold and flu season in full swing, new babies are at a high health risk, as they are too young for immunizations. For those babies with health concerns, passed germs can have a life-threatening impact. For healthy children, germs aren’t all bad, but there’s a big difference between bouncing your baby between familiar family and friends, and having them stroked by strangers. Look, don’t touch, and perhaps the signage would no longer be necessary. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Community Don’t worry, gardeners, your outdoor fun isn’t over yet Gardening with Mark

Mid-October is an interesting time of year in the Canadian garden. Experienced gardeners take advantage of the cooler temperatures, moisture in the soil and perennial plants that are slipping into dormancy and are ready to divide and multiply next spring. Beginner gardeners are knocking the dirt off their knees and cutting the grass “one more time” before they pack it in. We are here to suggest that there is still more fun to be had in the garden. Here is how: 1. Spring flowering bulbs. You plant brown, dormant bulbs now and create a show of colour next spring. Simple. Right now, the selection of Dutch flowering bulbs is at its best.The longer you wait, the lower the selection.The fact is, there is one boat that comes from the Netherlands each fall to Canada.That’s it, so get your bulbs soon. Besides, the sooner that you plant them, the better performance come spring. 2. Dig and divide.The mature hosta in your front yard is in a giving mood right now.Yes, plants have moods. All mature perennials with a fleshy root can be dug up, divided and replanted around your yard.

Or you can give the divisions away to friends and neighbours.We recommend that you use a sharp flatbladed spade or a dividing knife. Dig up the whole hosta or a large portion of root from your monarda, Shasta daisy or echinacea, etc. Split the root in half, and half again. If it is especially big, you can split it one more time, to create up to eight healthy plants from the mother plant. Save money and populate your garden, or gardens in your community. 3. Prune.This is the best time of year to prune a cedar hedge. All evergreens lend themselves to fall pruning: junipers, boxwood, yews, spruce or pine. Prune fall flowering shrubs, like a rose of Sharon, now. Leave the hydrangea until spring. 4. Lawn fertilizing.You have heard us say it before: the most important application of fertilizer for your lawn is now, in the second half of fall. Quality lawn food, like CIL 12-0-8, helps grass roots build up natural sugars in the root zone, reducing the chance of snow mold and increasing your lawn’s ability to bounce back in spring. 5. Leaves. Rake leaves off your lawn and onto your garden, covering the surface of the soil up to 12 centimetres thick when dry and four centimetres when wet. By late spring, earthworms will have pulled them down

into the soil and improved soil composition by converting the leaves into nitrogenrich earth worm castings. If you have an excess of fallen leaves, run your lawn mower over them while they are on your lawn, with the wheels set as high as they will go. Many leaves will mulch right into your lawn. If you have a quantity of leaves, you can rake up the mulched leaves onto your garden.We recommend that you mulch oak leaves to help them break down quickly.

All evergreens lend themselves to fall pruning If you have more leaves than you can use in your garden, add them to your compost and offer them to neighbours who can use this free soil-conditioner/fertilizer. 6. Harvest. Be sure to harvest all fruits and vegetables as they ripen. Our short

FREE

days and cool nights can induce disease, so it is incumbent upon you to keep on top of your harvest. Feed the spent plants to your compost bin. 7.Tropical plants. If you haven’t brought your tropical plants indoors yet, be sure to do it this weekend. We recommend this be done in September, however, better late than never. Place your tropical plants in a sunny window for the winter and apply insecticidal soap if insect problems occur.

Finally, leave your “winterizing jobs” until November. It is too early to wrap evergreens in burlap, hill up roses and apply rodent repellant to fruit trees. More on that later.

Arts & Entertainment Have your say on the city’s newly revised arts strategy

GARDEN LEVEL OASIS $499,000

Reworked plan up for public comment on Oct. 27 Artists, arts groups and community members are all invited to turn out at the Anvil Centre to learn more about the city’s revised draft arts strategy. The city released its arts strategy, Our Arts Impact 2018-2023, in April, but city council voted to send it back to the drawing board after negative reaction from the arts community. At the time, Coun. Mary Trentadue, who chairs the city’s arts commission, described the document as “not fully baked.”The city sent it back to a new incarnation of the arts strategy task force – a group made up of city staff and representatives of the arts community, along with a consultant – for reworking. Now it’s coming to the public for comment. A meeting is set for Saturday, Oct. 27 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. at the Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St. (third

VOLLEYBALL

Hyacks’ big hitter leading court challenge

Nicholas Toews has starred on Team BC and won a provincial beach volleyball title Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Being in the right place at the right time is always a good practice. For New Westminster’s Nicholas Toews, it’s taken just a bit of an adjustment. A starter with the high school’s senior boys volleyball team,Toews made a conscious decision at the team tryouts to sacrifice his strongest position to bolster the team’s depth. Now, outside hitter is the right place, even if it’s a fairly new place for the Grade 11 student athlete. “I thought there’s already a couple of setters trying out so why not give them a bit of a chance and maybe improve my game in other areas,” said Toews, who spent the previous five years almost exclusively at setter. “The biggest adjustment is definitely passing. As a setter you’re always kind of hidden behind players, always in the shadows and never really practicing the pass, so learning to pass at a reliable and consistent rate is definitely something of a challenge.” It’s not often a provincial-level player makes such a concession, but, as Toews says, it was all about the team. The teen is coming off a very busy summer of volleyball, including making the provincial team as a setter and winning a B.C. beach volleyball title. Learning a new position seemed to be a risky exercise, but Toews saw it as an interesting challenge. The Hyacks began the season with some positive vibes from the Douglas College tournament a month ago, registering a solid win over Fraser Heights and some strong play all around. Although they didn’t build on that at the UBC tournament, and dropped their league opener two weeks ago, 3-0 to No. 6-ranked 3-A rival Moscrop, neither saw New West with a full lineup.They were also edged 3-1 by Alpha. It’s not expected to be an easy ride, but the aim is to build and get stronger to qualify for the Burnaby-New West league playoffs, with a top-three finish earning them a spot at the Lower Mainlands. A good run would do wonders confidence-wise for a roster that includes four Grade 10s. In a school where football and basketball loom large, and volleyball trails nearly a handful of sports in the high-profile depart-

HEAVY HITTER: New Westminster’s Nicholas Toews is coming off playing big games for Team B.C. and a provincial beach volleyball title, and hopes to guide the Hyacks senior boys team to a playoff spot. PHOTO DAN OLSON ment, any strong showing could be chalked up as a moral victory. Toews, however, is looking for more. “Momentum is probably one of the biggest factor in the game, especially professional play,” said Toews. “If someone makes an insane dig, an insane kill that gets the point, the whole bench, the whole team is going to go wild, and the momentum has changed significantly.” He gathered his own momentum by surviving a lengthy Team BC tryout route this summer, including a four-day camp in Kamloops, to be selected to play for the province’s 16-under team two

months ago in Richmond. Alin London, England, has done its though the team finished its run in share of moving around. last spot, it was a learning experiNew West has been the home ence that is going to pay off down base, however, just as setter was the road, he said. the younger Toews’ “It was a little dechosen spot. Nick is a big, moralizing because Stepping aside to big presence on take on a new posilosing every game when you put your tion showed a lot of our team. heart out there kind character, the Hyof crushes you, but acks coach said. volleyball’s all about “When I first attitude.You really walked into the just have to stay positive.” gym for the tryouts I saw (Toews’) Toews was introduced to the presence there,” said first-year sport by older brother Jakob while bench boss Billy Lee. the two were students in Malaysia “He is willing to play a different six years ago. position so that he can give anothThe family, which had spent the er opportunity to other people. It’s previous handful of years residing just that mindset that’s amazing.

“I was a mediocre player, and I would never had given up my position for someone else. He’s just a very humble person.” From his new vantage point, Toews does bring a different impact to the game. As the team’s most vocal leader, leaping into a nice pass for the kill is quite something when successful. “I’d say the biggest momentum rush is definitely getting a huge kill, a huge kill is amazing,” he said. “On top of that if you get a huge kill against someone who is an amazing blocker that is a big boost.” While beach volleyball is a different game, with just two players per side digging and smashing outdoors, the past summer’s provincial 16u win was another case of being in the right place at the right time. He and partner Markus Wong have been together in club for five years, but only the past two seasons dug their heels into the beach game. “I thought we just clicked the whole tournament. It was definitely tough, we played against some very good teams but in the end we were just very good and took it away,” said Toews. “On the beach you’re getting all the touches. On the court you can get a point where you don’t touch the ball but still win the point. (But) on the beach you’re destined to touch the ball every single point.” Although playoffs are circled as the goal this year – with anything else that comes with it – the lanky teen said playing a positive role with his team and absorbing everything that comes with being a leader is something he embraces eagerly. Making the move from setter was about confidence, as well as sacrifice. “I try to connect the team with my voice so every single point I’m trying to speak up, do whatever that can encourage the team. If you’re silent on the court, you’re probably not winning that point,” he noted. “Through volleyball, I hope to be a more well-rounded person, just my personality in general. I strive to be social and meet new friends. In the game, I like to expand my game knowledge and experience on the court.” Lee said there’s no doubt that Toews can make the adjustment. He’s hoping it won’t distract any possible university scouts from sizing the player up as a potential recruit, either at his regular position or the new one. “Most of our sets are going to Nick, even though he’s never played outside hitter before. He’s doing an amazing job, and doing a lot of kills for us. Even at back row, he’s hitting most of the balls over the net and killing most of the balls for us. Nick is a big, big presence on our team,” said Lee.
