Famous cat BenBen and family facing renoviction Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A cat once known as the saddest cat on the internet would be downright despondent if he knew what was happening to his family.

New West residents Sandy Windover and Adam Tutt adopted BenBen in 2016, when the stray was taken to an animal hospi-

tal with a crushed spine, puncture wounds, infected lacerations and a damaged ear. He was dubbed the “saddest cat on the internet” when a photo of the ailing kitty was posted online, but he’s gone on to live a good life with his “hoomans” and feline friends.

But the fate of BenBen and his family is up in the air, after his owners received an eviction notice

from Harron Investments Inc., the owners of Tiffany Place Apartments on Fourth Avenue.

“Adam and I got a notice of eviction due to renovations in our apartment building,”Windover told the Record. “In the last year, the apartment has entered a new no-pet policy. Under the Residential Tenancy Act they have to offer us our suite back un-

der a new agreement. So they are going to take our pet policy away and increase our rent substantially.There’s nothing we can do about it.”

While they’d heard stories of evictions occurring in other buildings in the area, they didn’t see it coming as they know of buildings in far worse condition and some bathrooms had been reno-

vated in the building last summer.

Although the couple could move back in to their suite after it’s renovated and pay the new rental rate, they’re not prepared to be separated from their fur babies.

“They will honour the no-pet policy for everyone moving back in,”Windover said. “It’s a completely new lease agreement.”

City helps family after ‘Grinchian’ action

Tree-service contractor removed Christmas lights from Queensborough home, but the city has since put them back Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A grinch may have tried to trim a Queensborough resident’s Christmas spirit, but the city showed heart and quickly righted a wrong.

A tree-service crew contracted by the City of New Westminster arrived at Lance Murdoch’s South Dyke Road home recently to trim a tree – and did so only after removing Christmas lights he’d hung in the tree on the weekend. Murdoch’s wife was home at the time and questioned the crew about the removal of the lights, but they were determined to do the job they’d been hired to do.

“This crew took a pretty significant amount of the tree off and all my Christmas lights down,” Murdoch said. “I had a lot of lights on that tree.They took all of them off.”

While the tree is technically on city property, Murdoch said it’s located in his small front yard. He contacted the city to express his concerns about the “truly Grinchian move” that left the tree with far fewer branches and no lights.

“They did everything but show up in little green furry outfits and take my Christmas lights away,” he told the Record Tuesday. “I felt like little Cindy Lou Who yesterday.”

Concerned by what had occurred, Murdoch contacted city hall and spoke with someone in the parks department.

“She ultimately agreed it was

a mistake and they were going to talk to their contactors and let them know that that is not an acceptable way to treat homeowners, that they probably should have just left it and come back at a later time,” he said. “If they don’t do the work, they don’t get to bill – I

get it. But it was really mean-spirited.”

But in a scene reminiscent of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, when the Grinch returned to Whoville and returned all the items he’d taken from the Whos, a crew returned to the Murdochs’

house on Tuesday afternoon.

“The city showed up today and completely restrung the tree,” he said. “As far as I am concerned, they did everything they could to make it right today, which is all I ever wanted. I am just trying to make the neighbourhood look

nice.”

City crews returned to the Murdochs’ home again on Wednesday to replace a string of lights that wasn’t working properly after being removed from the tree and rehung on Tuesday.

“Not sure what happened, but it goes off and on somewhat intermittently, likely damaged somehow,” he said. “The lights were put on differently than I had, but overall it is similar.”

Erika Mashig, the city’s manager of arboriculture, horticulture, parks and open space planning, said the tree was being pruned as part of a scheduled pruning on the block. Pruning takes place at all times of year, but she said the best time to prune live branches is in the dormant season.

Following the incident, Mashig said the contractor was lined up to reinstall the lights for the homeowner, but the city’s electrical department had a truck in the area and reinstalled the lights. She said the city will continue to reiterate protocols with contractors.

According to Mashig, if the resident is home, the appropriate action would be for the contractor to knock on the door, announce the work that is to be performed on the tree, ask if the lights may be removed to perform the necessary work and offer to reinstall the lights after the work is complete.

If the resident isn’t home, she said the work should be delayed until the crew is able to contact the resident.

Groups rally to oppose suggested changes to grants Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster is taking another look at its partnership grants after community groups and council members sounded alarms about what’s being proposed for 2019.

The City of NewWestminster distributes funds annually to groups through several different grant programs, including partnership grants, where reductions from past years’ grants were proposed for some groups and oneyear grants were recommended instead of the three-year terms that have been given to some groups in the past.

Colleen Ponzini, the city’s acting chief financial officer, said partnership grant requests for 2019 were “significantly higher” than in previous years, and the committee struggled to come up with some guiding principles on how to handle the requests.

“There is a couple of things that are going on here.There’s a

lot more dollars being requested.

There are organizations that have multi-year terms but are also asking for additional funding on top of the multi-year amounts that they have been granted in the past,” she told council. “And there were five new ones that were never in the requests in the previous years.”

In addition to recommending that two of the grant requests be considered as part of the city’s operating budget, the committee recommended cuts to other grants.

“We tried to say, we will cut the new ones as well, add them all in and try to come up with some kind of percentage reduction across all of those particular organizations so that we can come up with a total that is a little bit more palatable than the entire request that was asked,” Ponzini said.

For 2019, 23 organizations submitted applications for $1.1 million from the partnership grants program, which had $485,000 to disperse.The staff recommendation considered at Mon-

day’s council meeting was to approve $524,200 in city partnership grants – $39,000 more than the grant committee had been allocated to disperse.

Several groups, including the Arts Council of NewWestminster, had requested three-year terms for

their grants.

“We at the Arts Council of New West understand that city budgets are tight and the committee for this grant program chose to use a formula that appeared to make the cuts equitable,” said Stephen O’Shea, executive director of the

Arts Council of NewWestminster.

“However, straight-across-theboard cuts to funding doesn’t take into account the value for dollar that the city is receiving from various partners.The arts council’s programs reach thousands of people in the city.”

O’Shea asked council to return the arts council’s grant to current levels and to provide a three-year term.

“I have a lot of problems with this one,” Coun. Mary Trentadue said about the recommendations. “I am really challenged by the fact we have made fairly significant cuts to organizations that rely on this funding and have been doing work in the city for a long time.We are just about to roll out the arts strategy where we are going to rely on a lot of our partners to help us fulfil some of that work, yet we are cutting their grant applications.”

Council agreed to refer the report back to staff, so new recommendations can come to council as early in January as possible.

City City set to borrow for pool

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is taking steps to borrow millions of dollars to fund a replacement for the Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre.

In preparation for applying for grants from senior governments for the future New Westminster Aquatic and Community Centre, the city is amending its fiveyear financial plan (2018 to 2022).

“Today’s amendment to the five-year financial plan is really allowing to put us in position so we can apply for the grant, which is a necessary process,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “But I think given the scale and size of this project, a lot more information reporting does need to come in terms of the implications of the different options council is going to be considering. No doubt, I anticipate that our finance department is going to be presenting more of that information in upcoming meetings.”

New Westminster resident Christopher Bell recent-

ly appeared before council with a number of questions about the financial plan, financing of the new facility, size of facility to be built and the amount of money the city will borrow to finance the project.

“How current is the city’s cost estimate of $108 million for the project, and when was that cost estimate created?” he said.

Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said the city is currently using Class D cost estimates, which are “quite elemental” in nature and were developed earlier this year.

“We are working through the process right now in what we consider to be called the schematic design phase,” he said. “At the conclusion of that phase of work we will be able to prepare a more detailed cost estimate, which will be referred to as a Class C cost estimate. On that basis, we will be using those figures as part of the city’s infrastructure grant application.”

Gibson said the availability of senior government funding may “weigh heav-

ily” on the choices the city has in terms of the scope of the project. Once the results of that grant application are known, which is expected to be some time in 2019, he said council will be in a positon to confirm the final scope of the project.

The city had been proposing to build an eightlane pool but later directed staff to pursue two design options – a community recreation facility, as well as an enhanced competitionhosting capacity, but only if the city is successful in obtaining a “significant” federal government grant.The move came after citizens and members of the Hyack Swim Club appealed to the city to build a 10-lane pool to meet future growth in New Westminster and to enable the facility to host major competitions.

According to a staff report, the enhanced design option is expected to cost about $114 million.The city will be moving forward with a loan authorization bylaw that will identify the maximum amount of debt the city expects to incur for the project.

City Province urged to take more steps to prevent renovictions Continued from page 1 Windover believes the province needs to take action to stop buildings from evicting tenants and charging much larger rents if they’re able to move back in. She’d also like to see legislation preventing property owners from banning pets, saying her four cats cause less damage than some homes with one dog or children.

“The fear for us not having a home is stressful,” she said. “As well, (we are) as spreading awareness for our neighbours with pets who will be displaced, and they don’t have the social media or the large internet community that we have.”

While BenBen may have nearly 300,000 followers from around the world on Instagram and almost 40,000 Facebook fans, even that’s not enough to spare him and his family from renoviction. In an attempt to find housing that would allow them all to stay together, the family launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with their impending move, and exceeded their $10,000 goal within 12

hours.

“We started a GoFundMe because we were not financially prepared for this eviction,”Windover said.

“The GoFundMe is to help with relocation fees for our family, so we don’t have to be separated.That would mean potentially moving costs, a storage unit, a damage deposit on a rental unit or to help go towards us buying a property where we can all stay together.”

With a low vacancy rate among rental units and some buildings having a nopet policy, the family has been unable to find a new place thus far. Some folks have reached out to them on social media about potential homes but nothing has been firmed up at this time.

In addition to contacting the Residential Tenancy Branch about their rights, the couple has also confirmed with city hall that the building owner has the proper permits in place to do the work.They’ve been told the evictions in their building will be done in blocks of units, but eventually all units will be reno-

John Stark, the City of New Westminster’s senior social planner, said the renoviction issue is a council and staff priority, and the city is exploring a range of

options to address renovictions. He said the city was also awaiting the findings of the province’s Rental Housing Task Force, which may include recommendations to address renovictions.

“To date, city staff are aware of 12 buildings and 215 tenants being impacted by renovictions in New Westminster,” he said in a Dec. 10 email to the Record. “Staff suspect there

Opinion OUR VIEW

Two important warnings to keep everyone safe

We know that this is the time of good cheer and positive vibes, but we’re going to cut into that for a moment to pass along a couple of useful warnings on timely topics.

The first warning comes from Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh, the top cop at the Burnaby RCMP detachment.

It’s about replica guns and the consequences of flashing one around in public.

Last week, RCMP responded to reports of a road-rage incident during which a gun had reported-

ly been used in a threatening manner towards a driver.The incident was at 10th Avenue and Kingsway, police said, and officers located the suspect’s vehicle inVancouver.

After conducting a “highrisk arrest” of the suspect, officers found a replica firearm in the vehicle, police said.

In October, local Mounties responded to reports of a group of youths drinking alcohol at Edmonds Park.

Upon arrival, they spotted a handgun on the ground, took immediate action and arrested two of the youths

for possession of a firearm.

The weapon turned out to be a BB gun.

“I want the public to know calls involving firearms will result in a considerable police response,” Burleigh said in the release. “It can be a BB gun or a replica, our police officers will treat them as real until they can prove they’re not.”

Burleigh went on to say “imitation firearms are not toys” and urged parents not to buy them as gifts.

GET A DETECTOR The second warning is

from a senior paramedic, who is encouraging homeowners to buy carbon monoxide detectors and inspect their appliances following a spike in recent poisonings.

Leon Baranowski, paramedic practice leader with B.C. Emergency Health Services, says the colourless and odourless gas can be emitted from fuels including wood, gasoline, coal and propane when they don’t burn completely.

“At this time of year, as people start to turn on their water heaters, their gas appliances, fireplaces and panel heaters in unventilated

spaces, carbon monoxide has the potential to build up in that environment. Over time, that can start to overcome patients and affect them,” Baranowski said.

Last week, 13 people with carbon monoxide poisoning were taken to hospital from an office building inVancouver.

There were at least another three cases in the Lower Mainland in the past week, said Emergency Health Services communications officer Shannon Miller.

Paramedics in the province respond to about 100 cases of carbon monoxide

poisoning over the course of the year, she said.

Baranowski said patients at the lower end of the spectrum can present cold and flu-like symptoms, including a dull headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

Carbon monoxide detectors are between $50 and $100 to purchase, and when the alarm sounds, that means it’s time to get out of the building quickly.

So there, two warnings about simple ways you can prevent bad stuff from happening.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan, Trudeau get close over tax The thorny issue of taxing carbon has split this country’s political leaders and further pushed Premier John Horgan and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau into each other’s arms.

Just days after his government released its plan to tackle climate change and wean much of B.C. off fossil fuels, Horgan found himself at a First Ministers’ conference occupying a lonely perch with the prime minister as other premiers castigated the idea of having any kind of tax on carbon.

The doom-and-gloom message coming from the likes of Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is a bit hard to take from B.C.’s perspective.To hear them tell it, a carbon tax would wreck their provincial economies.

However, the province that leads the country in economic performance, job creation and employment levels (B.C.) has – wait for it – a carbon tax, and has had one for 10 years. It was increased again this year, and Horgan’s government plans to increase it by $5 a tonne each year until 2021, when it will sit at $50 a tonne.

At the meeting, Horgan tried to point out that a province could have a carbon tax and a flourishing economy at the same time.

B.C.’s success with the tax – there has been a slight reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since it was introduced, allowing for population growth – no doubt has helped convince Trudeau

that putting a price on pollution is the way to go.

There is some political irony here: the BC NDP ran against the carbon tax during the 2009 election and found it was a losing position.The party is now the biggest champion of the tax.

We’ve gotten use to the idea of taxing carbon.The tax is no longer “revenueneutral” (it was tied to an income tax cut when Gordon Campbell first introduced it), but there hasn’t been much of an outcry about that.

The NDP now intends to use revenues from the tax to fund so-called “green” initiatives that will aid in cutting emissions, including the creation of a large fund to allow large-scale industries like forestry and mining to draw back some of their carbon tax payments if they can be used to lower their operation’s carbon footprint.

It is unclear whether there will continue to be strong public support for a carbon tax once it hits $50 a tonne, but it is certainly possible.

Particularly so if Trudeau can stare down provincial opposition to it.

Another bad summer of wildfires and rampant flooding will further bring the need to fight climate change.

In the meantime, Horgan and Trudeau will consider each other their most valuable political ally. And that will likely spell good news for B.C. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Dumb egg prank blinds woman It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.That old adage was just a saying for 30-year-old Dawn Marie Busser until a juvenile prank badly damaged one of her eyes. Busser and her husband were leaving a Columbia Street pub at about midnight when a car passed them and her left eye exploded in pain. Someone in the vehicle had hit her in the face with a raw egg.The impact smashed the lens of her eye, and pieces of eggshell lodged themselves behind her eyeball. Surgeons had to remove the lens and eggshells during a delicate operation, and Busser was left partially blinded as she waited for an operation to attach a new artificial lens over her cornea.

Opinion MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Woes continue for the Pier Park elevator The City of New Westminster sent out a tweet last Thursday that drew a brilliant response.

The tweet said the Westminster Pier Park elevator was out of service, but crews were working on repairing it.

“Evergreen tweet” was the droll response from Coun. Patrick Johnstone.

It’s funny because lately it has seemed like the elevator has been broken a lot based on my memory of recent city tweets.

But is that actually true?

I contacted Jim Lowrie, director of engineering for the city, to get hard numbers and an explanation.

According to Lowrie, the elevator has been broken nine times in 2018 – including three times since the beginning of November. Seven out of the nine total breakdowns are due to vandalism. Lowrie said the time it takes to get the elevator running again ranges from a few hours to two days – but estimated the average time out of commission is about a day.

Lowrie said the vandalism issue is troubling and the city is looking at options to try and deter it, including possibly installing security cameras.

“It is an issue we’re concerned about,” he said.

The city considered vandalism when it designed the elevator. In 2016, Mayor Jonathan Cote told the Record that the city opted for a glass elevator that’s fully visible as a crime-prevention measure.

Now the city might have to spend even more money on cameras or other measures.

The elevator has had a troubled history.

Its construction was delayed nearly a year due to such issues as parts not arriving on time, coordination issues between the parties involved in the project, and changes made to the size and design of the elevator.

I guess you could say the elevator project has had its ups and downs (#dadjokes).

Then, just a week after the elevator opened in March 2016, a malfunctioning circuit board led to its closure.

The overall goal of the elevator is good.

People with accessibility issues, as well as those with bikes and strollers, are frequent users of the elevator, which is a good thing.

But now the city is looking at possibly curtailing some of the later hours of the elevator due to the vandalism, Lowrie said.

The city is now looking at building a ramp crossing at Sixth Street for the Pier West project, possibly by the end of 2019, providing an option for the times the elevator is down, Lowrie said.

I asked Johnstone what he thought about the situation, and he was customarily frank.

“To me, it makes the point that elevators are not always the best accessibility option in outdoor areas, and is part of the reason I pushed for a ramp instead for the new overpass at Sixth,” he said.

That seems like a good assessment.

It’s up to you to decide if nine times in one year is a lot. It might not actually be a lot.

It just tweets that way.

New West trustees tussle over assignments

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Not everyone at the school board table was in favour of making a first-time trustee the new liaison for New Westminster Secondary.

At a recent school board meeting, school board chair Mark Gifford was tasked with assigning school liaisons and representatives to the district committees.

What has been a non-event in past years, went off the rails when Gifford attempted to appoint trustee reps for the district’s elementary and middle schools and high school.

Using requests by some of the trustees, Gifford went through the list of schools, assigning trustee Maya Russell, who is serving her first term on the school board, to the high school.

Trustee Mary Lalji objected and said past practice has been to have the board chair serve as the high school liaison.

“The chair is usually the I have a significant govertrustee for the high school,” nance experience, and I remarked Lalji, who attend- think I am more than capaed the meeting over speakble of serving in that liaison erphone from the B.C. Secrole to the high school,” she ondary Schools said.

Gifford made Dhaliwal the trustee liaison for both ’Boro schools after she expressed interest in the positions.

But Lalji, who had been the trustee liaison at Queen Elizabeth during her first term as school trustee, argued there should be two different trustees covering the two schools.

She said she hoped to stay on at one of the Queensborough schools to continue the work she’d started during her last term.

Russell, however, said it made sense to have the same trustee liaise with both schools, particularly with the current concerns over traffic safety in front of the schools.

“I think it’s ludicrous one trustee couldn’t represent both schools in Queensborough,” she added.

Gifford agreed and con-

firmed Dhaliwal’s assignment to Queensborough Middle and Queen Elizabeth.

Correction

In ‘A closer look at the new child-care funding program,’ published Dec. 6, it was reported that in 2017, the Ministry of Children and Family Development announced a $33-million investment in new child-care spaces across the province of British Columbia. That was incorrect. The ministry is investing $221 million over the next three years to support the creation of 22,000 new licensed child care spaces.

The announcement was made in July of this year.

Deli owner helps Guatemalan animal shelter Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A local restaurant is doing what it can to help animals in need this holiday season.

For the third consecutive year, Leona Green of Greens and Beans Deli will be joining fellow New Westminster residents Angela Kerslake and Lorrie Williams for a Christmas vacation in Guatemala where they will be supporting animals at Animal Aware Guatemala’s shelter. Kerslake, a NewWestminster-based lawyer, is a longtime supporter of the animal shelter.

Green, who owns Greens and Beans Deli with her son Matthew, is once again collecting donations to buy food for the dogs that call the shelter home.

“I have been collecting money for dog food. Last year I was hoping to get 100 bags and I ended up getting enough money for 177 bags,” she said. “It was amazing. I couldn’t believe

it. People are just wonderful.”

Green is hoping to exceed last year’s total of 177 bags by the time she departs for Guatemala on Dec. 24.

“It’s a lofty goal. Last year I thought 100 was a lofty goal.To get 177 knocked my socks off,” she said. “For $28, it makes you feel good – that’s what it costs for a bag of dogfood in Guatemala.”

With the cash she collects, Green will buy the dog food from a wholesaler in Guatemala.

“It lasted two months for 400 dogs,” she said of last year’s campaign. “They are trying to make it last. Guatemala is not like here.The people who live in Guatemala don’t have the money to help them.”

Green said there have been times when dogs at the shelter have had to eat cat food, which isn’t great for them, so she’s happy to be able to help. She’s looking forward to visiting with the

dogs at the shelter during the upcoming visit.

“We buy big boxes of dog treats at the wholesaler.Whenever we go there, we try to give every dog a treat on each day that we are there.They line up and we give them their treat but they change places so you are not sure,” Green said.

“It’s always hard to keep your pockets full.You are always running back to get more. I bought us all fanny packs so we can fill them up and get out there and feed them. It’s just bedlam when we do it too. All the dogs start barking.You’ve got 400 dogs barking, waiting for their treat.”

Greens and Beans raised about $800 for the animal shelter from a tip jar, with those funds going to things other than dog food. Along with 400 dogs, the shelter is home to about 80 cats.

Donations can be dropped off at the Greens and Beans at 143 East Columbia St.

98-year-old New West resident gets a jury summons Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Bill Ward is pretty sure he won’t have a hard time getting out of jury duty.

Last week, the longtime New Westminster resident received a jury summons, but he suspects he’ll never have to set foot in a courtroom.

“I just have to give them my age – when they see my age, they won’t want me anyhow. I am not interested. I am 98,” he said. “I’ve done it. I don’t need to again.”

According to the provincial government’s website, receiving a jury summons in the mail doesn’t mean someone has been selected to serve as a juror, as the next step is to go to a jury selection where jurors are chosen for a trial. Summons are mailed to people who are on the provincial voters list.

NOW $548,800!!!

It’s the third time Ward has received a jury summons.

Years ago, he served as a juror on a murder case.

“I was called up again, but they rejected me a couple years later,” he recalled. “The defence lawyer, he challenged me. Once they challenge you, you were out. I guess he thought I wouldn’t vote the way he wanted.”

Now, 98-and-a-half years old,Ward isn’t interested in jury duty at this point in his life.

“When I got the letter and saw it was from the ministry, I thought, what the heck have I done now?” he chuckled. “I don’t even known why they would send it to me.

They must have a record of when I was a juror.”

NOW $579,900!!!

Not this time: Longtime New West resident Bill Ward, 98, isn’t too keen on the idea of serving jury duty. It’s the third time in his life that Ward has received a jury summons.

You Wear It Well needs a hand to help grads Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

For the past eight years, the organizers behindYou Wear ItWell have been providing students from all financial backgrounds with the chance to pick out something to wear to their grad parties, but now they need help from the community in order to help even more students.

“We’re currently hoping to add Delta to the mix, but we’re a little bit short of funds right now so that’s why we’re contacting everyone we know to put the word out,” organizer Darcey Sudeyko told the Record.

The NewWestminsterbased charity serves students in NewWestminster and Surrey (Surrey’s local organization, the Surrey Princess Project, folded in 2015).YouWear ItWell collects donated formal clothing and accessories throughout the year and hosts a boutique day in the spring for students who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford to attend their grad party.

The boutique day happens every year in March, and it’s a special day for students who attend, according to Sudeyko.

“We’ve seen the difference it can make,” she said.

“We’ve had sort of a Cinderella moment where we saw kids that were coming in and they were very insecure and very self-conscious and they would leave with this sort of renewed selfconfidence.”

They would leave with this sort of renewed self-confidence

The students arrive and are matched with a personal assistant who helps them shop for everything they’ll need for their grad party, including dresses, shoes and accessories. And it’s not just for girls, either. Boys are also included in the boutique day.

Once the student has chosen his or her outfit, they head over to the hair and makeup stations for a makeover.Tailors and seamstresses are also on hand to make sure the clothing fits perfectly.

Last year, 60 students took part in the event, which was held at Fraser River Middle School.

“We have a school liaison person and she’s been in contact with all the counsellors at all the schools in NewWest – the high school and the alternate programs – as well as the schools in Surrey.We haven’t dealt with the kids in Delta yet because we’re not sure if we can afford to take them on,” Sudeyko said.

If they don’t raise enough money to cover the Delta kids, theVancouver-based Cinderella Project will be taking them on instead, she added.

Sudeyko said the charity is hoping to raise $10,000 to help pay for more inventory, renting a venue, providing food for the day and buying items to put in gift bags for

the students. So far they’ve got about $5,000, she said.

“We give gift bags to the kids every year, with personal items like toothpaste and makeup and that kind of stuff,” she said.

YouWear ItWell recently obtained its charitable sta-

tus, so folks who make monetary donations will receive a tax receipt, Sudeyko said.

The charity is also accepting clothing donations, particularly plus-size dresses and large-sized women and men’s shoes.They’re also in need of more men’s clothing

items, Sudeyko said.

Donations can be made online through a portal on the charity’s website or contacting Sudeyko directly.

First-of-its-kind event aims to build relationship between police, students Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A lucky group of New Westminster students got the chance to test out their culinary skills at a special event at Fraser River Middle School last week.

Cooking with Cops, held on Dec. 5, was a first-ofits-kind event hosted by the New Westminster Police Department and the school district and was organized

by Const. Gerald Lau, the police department’s school liaison officer for elementary and middle schools in the city.

Lau partnered with Quirina Gamblen, the school district’s director of instruction for programs and planning, to develop the framework for Cooking with Cops.

The goal of the event was to help build a relationship between local police officers and kids in the city, and to showcase the importance of food as a community-building tool.

“Hopefully this is a launching pad,” Lau said.

November, leaving organizers with just over a month to put everything together, Lau said.

“Where there’s a will, there’s a way,” he laughed.

A call was put out to every elementary and middle school in the district to see how many kids were interested in taking part.The response was overwhelming, according to Lau. More than 80 kids wanted to take part, but only 20 kids were able to participate because of the limited space.They were separated into groups of four and paired with an officer from the New Westminster Police Department.

Each team was tasked with preparing a different meal, which they then got to serve to their families at the community dinner later that evening.

Lau and Gamblen hope to see this become part of a

regular series of events cohosted by the police department and school district.

B.C.’s natural gas supply may be limited this winter

Reduce your use

Due to the rupture of the Enbridge-owned natural gas transmission pipeline earlier this fall, B.C.’s natural gas supply will be restricted this winter. Although Enbridge has repaired their pipeline, it is operating at a limited capacity, meaning B.C.’s natural gas system may be challenged during times of peak demand this winter. Where possible, reduce your use by lowering the thermostat, shortening showers and washing laundry in cold water. Every bit you save helps ensure we have the natural gas to keep homes warm and businesses working. fortisbc.com/reduceyouruse

The gallery is hosting an exhibition of work from the Arts Council of New Westminster’s permanent art collection, running until Dec. 16 and then from Jan. 2 to 27.

The gallery is closed from Dec. 17 to Jan. 1.

The collection consists of artwork in a variety of styles and mediums from vari-

ous artists and patrons that have been connected to the arts council over the past 50 years.

“This year’s exhibition is a curated selection of natural landscapes and floral still lifes from the permanent collection,” a press release says. “The styles of the different works range from abstraction to hyper-realism, exploring the subject matter in oil, acrylic and watercolour paint.This selection of paintings and prints serves

as an homage to the Gallery at Queen’s Park’s unique natural setting, and during our winter season, this exhibition offers a gentle reminder of the richness and vibrancy within nature.”

The gallery is in Centennial Lodge. It’s open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m. and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

Arts & Entertainment

Enjoy arty winter wonders at Anvil Centre Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

It’s time to throw open the doors, liven up the space and make everyone feel at home.

That’s the driving force behind a new seasonal extravaganza coming to downtown NewWestminster in December: the Anvil Centre’sWinter Celebrations, running Dec. 18 to 29.

The arts, cultural and conference centre that dominates the corner of Columbia and Eighth streets opened in September 2014 – but, for many residents, the shiny new building, with its dazzling glass and marble, remains unfamiliar.

“Everybody at the Anvil, and myself included, we’ve all been hearing the community saying that in many ways they don’t feel like it’s got anything for them,” explained Jessica Schneider, executive director of the Massey Theatre, who’s overseeing theWinter Celebrations.

Schneider noted that although there are parts of the Anvil Centre that have become popular – the New Westminster Museum, the New Media Gallery and the arts programming that happens in its many upper-floor studios and activity rooms – there still doesn’t seem to be a feeling that it’s truly a public space.

“There’s nothing quite like activating the lobby and the ground level,” she said.

Enter theWinter Celebrations, which will have the ground level buzzing

with activity every day – with music, dance, arts and crafts, kids’ activities, meditation and yoga sessions, story and poetry readings, fashion shows and more.

All the ground-level activities will be free, including a community stage that will feature a variety of cultural and arts performances. Upstairs will see a variety of ticketed events in the theatre, from a professional staged reading of A Christmas Carol to a hip hop dance party and a family ceilidh.

“It’s a huge showcase of

It can become one of our great traditions …

NewWestminster talent, from young to old and everybody in between professional and amateur, student and emerging artist,” Schneider said. “It’s a chance to make that place really feel lived in. I just wanted to break that open and make that possible.”

A major component of the celebrations will be a WinterWorld art installation that’s being created

by Omanie Elias, an artist who works out of 100 Braid Street Studios and who’s also well-known as a set designer (you’ve seen her work with Royal City Musical Theatre Company).

“It’s a luminary labyrinth set in the snow,” Schneider said, noting the installa-

tion is based on the Northern European tradition of setting lanterns out in the snow in spiral or labyrinth patterns. “Everybody goes out on the tundra and walks the labyrinth in the dark of night.”

With the Anvil Centre’s glossy white marble lobby standing in for the snow, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the same meditative experience.

The events will kick off with an opening night singalong and performance on Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. – featuring singers from a roster of local choirs, with a performance by the QuaysideVoices a cappella quintet to cap off the evening.

With different events happening every day, and the celebrations open from 1 to 7 p.m. daily (except Dec. 24, 25 and 26), Schneider is hoping that people will make return visits to the centre to experience it all.

A highlight of the free, ground-floor events will be Snow Globe Dances, featuring a variety of professional dance performances (including contemporary and hip hop) within a “snow globe” – and yes, there will be a snow machine blowing snow on the dancers.Those will happen at 4:30 p.m. daily from Dec. 19 to 22.

At 5:30 on those same days, visitors can experience Global Harmony, with pairings of local professional performers that fuse the sounds of different cultures (think tabla and saxophone, erhu and cello).

A bar will also be oper-

ating for “Festive Mixers” every day from Dec. 19 to 22, and Schneider is hoping that people will turn out with their group – whether that’s a group of co-workers, artists, neighbours or family members – and join in a collegial celebration.

“It’s meant to be a place that you would come every day, if you could, and try something, and just be there,” Schneider said, noting it’s not just about sitting and watching a scheduled performance. “It’s meant to be more social than that, more of a networking, connecting place.”

Schneider isn’t sure what kind of turnout to expect for this inaugural year, but she’s hoping it will catch on with businesses, organizations and residents alike.

“It’s going to be real-

ly grassroots, and we really hope that everybody checks it out and brings friends,” she said. “We can build on it for next year, and it can be-

come one of our great traditions in NewWest.”

Community Gingerbread house earns top prize for local centre

November 29, 2018 – January 5, 2019

Theresa McManus COLUMN TITLE

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An award-winning gingerbread house created in the Royal City is now appearing on Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt RegencyVancouver.

Kiwanis Care Centre recently took the top spot in the corporate category of a gingerbread contest held at the Hyatt, which raises money for the Make aWish Foundation.The entries are on display at the hotel’s Gingerbread Lane display until Dec. 29.

Jennifer Quan is the support services manager at Kiwanis Care Centre, where she oversees the kitchen, housekeeping and laundry services. A Red Seal chef who formerly worked in hotel and airline kitchens, Quan comes up with a gingerbread concept and assembles the creations but sometimes gets a helping hand from kitchen staff in baking the gingerbread.

“This was my first entry. I was kind of shocked to win first prize,” she said.

“I do this for Kiwanis every year for the residents. People say, ‘You can go enter it. It’s for the Make aWish Foundation.’ Basically people go down and take a look.

They vote for the People’s Choice.”

Quan’s winning entry for the Hyatt contest features a village made up of different houses, but she also created a gingerbread cruise ship for the care centre. She estimates she spent close to 100 hours in November working on the creations.

SOCK DRIVE The folks at Greens and Beans Deli are helping out one of their fellow neighbours in Sapperton.

On behalf of the New West-based Camp Kerry Society, the staff at Greens and Beans is also holding a sock drive that’s collecting men’s and women’s socks. On Christmas Eve,

folks from the society will go toVancouver’s Downtown Eastside and hand out socks, jackets and cookies to people in need.

Donations can be dropped off at Greens and Beans at 143 East Columbia St. THANKS FOR THE TRANSPLANT Coun. Chuck Puchmayr was part of a team that popped into to Royal Columbian Hospital to thank hospital staff for their efforts to support organ donation across B.C. Operation Popcorn is B.C.Transplant’s annual program to deliver festive packages of popcorn to staff in intensive care units, emergency departments and operating rooms in nearly 30 hospitals around the province. Puchmayr was part of a team that visited Royal Columbian Hospital on Dec. 5 and Burnaby Hospital on Dec. 7.

“It was fantastic,” Puchmayr said. “As always, it is sometimes a pretty moving operation when you are talking to the nurses and the staff.They get emotional when you are telling your story.”

Puchmayr, who underwent a lifesaving liver transplant on Jan. 23, 2009, said transplant recipients are happy to visit the hospitals.

“We remind the emergency services and the hospital staff about the impor-

tance of organ donation,” he said. “We think it’s important they see the other end of it.When they are identifying people for donation or when they are in ICU helping people recover from transplants, they see the pretty traumatic side of that equation.What we like to do is go there and show them the successful end.”

COOKING FOR CHARITY Some ofVancouver’s top chefs joined forces to raise funds for a NewWestminster-based charity.

OnoVancouver, a culinary consultancy organization, and Silver Chef, a hospitality financier, recently raised $10,000 for the Dan’s Legacy Foundation.

“We’re absolutely thrilled with the support we received from Chefs in the Hood and all their sponsors,” said Barbara Coates, executive director of Dan’s Legacy. “The funds raised are earmarked for our Dan’sWarehouse program, which will provide job skills training for youth aging out of care in British Columbia. As the entire program will operate under the supervision of our specially trained therapists, we predict successful outcomes.”

The money was raised at the second Chefs in the Hood event, a collaborative pop-up dinner that bought together some ofVancouver’s top culinary talent.

Arts & Entertainment New West actors in pantomime musica intima

sings in New West

King Arthur’s Court offers family fun at Metro Theatre until Jan. 5 New Westminster residents are featured in some key roles when Metro Theatre presents its annual holiday pantomime.

King Arthur’s Court is onstage Dec. 14 to Jan. 5, with a preview show tonight (Thursday, Dec. 13).

It features the talents of New West actors Megan Greenwood, as Guinevere; Sue Sparlin, as Merlin; and Scotia Browner, asYoung Arthur.

They’re joined by fellow locals Gillian Myers as Lady Elizabeth and Chris Coulter as Sir Smarty Pants, while New West’s Katie-Rose Connors is the musical director.

The panto uses song and dance to retell the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table – borrowing from parts of Camelot and parts of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The panto features young Arthur meeting Merlin and being educated, then maturing, meeting Guinevere

and forming the Knights of the Round Table.These knights, however – featuring such gallant characters as Sir Round and Sir Cumspect, among others – are a dysfunctional and argumentative group, and it’s Arthur’s job to get them to collaborate. Burnaby actor Colton Fyfe takes the lead as the adult Arthur.

There’s also a fire-breath-

ing dragon with throat problems, along with the mainstay of any panto performance – the “Dame,” i.e. a man dressed as a woman (James T.Walker). In this case, it’s Mrs. Baker, the castle cook (not a good one), who has a few kitchen malfunctions along the way.

Plus, naturally, the audience is invited to cheer and jeer at the forces of good

“The FRDC is the only place dedicated to telling the stories of the Fraser River” - Mark Angelo, Founder, BC and World Rivers Day

The FRDC looks at the Fraser River from a triple bottom line perspective, because the mighty Fraser will only be sustainable if we balance its environmental, socio-cultural and economic uses. Examples include our Fraser River Dialogue series – which has hosted discussions with over 300 citizens on such important issues as wild salmon, emergency response, flood management, land use and LNG – and the new BioDiversity Speaker series involving professors from local universities.

If gyms aren’t your thing, try something new and cool like taking classes at the Vancouver Circus School at the River Market. They offer a wide variety of disciplines, such as aerial silks, hoops, trampoline, tumbling, handstand workshops and contortion. Not only is it guaranteed to impress

no matter your training level you can get your toning or heavy duty workout in. Plus, their monthly membership means that you can go to as many classes as you’d like: just close your eyes, escape the cold and pretend you’re in the Bahamas.

your friends, you’ll gain a ton of muscle and core strength, and supply you with a steady stream of Instagrammable posts.

Cloud 9 Specialty Bakery Of course, baked goods aren’t always healthy; but these baked goods from Cloud 9 Bakery are healthier, so that should count for something, right?

They carry an array of gluten free, vegan, nut free and dairy free products that are made fresh every day, like cupcakes and cookies. If you have a sweet craving, don’t feel guilty about dropping by here and picking up a quick snack!

Coast Protein Crafting a sustainable, conscientious food market is more important than ever, and Coast Protein has gradually been winning over retailers with their greener protein options. Beyond ordering online, you can catch their packaging team right here in New West!

Chiefs on major roll since Mac’s invitation The Northeast Chiefs have been on a roll since earning tourney invite

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Emboldened by a major invitation, the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs are eager to build a full head of steam for the coming weeks ahead.

After all, when you earn a formal invitation to one of the biggest midget hockey tournaments in Western Canada, you want momentum on your side.

The Chiefs have won five of their last six games since learning they would be competing at the Mac’s AAA Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary, which begins during the last week of December.

In that time they’ve outscored their B.C. Major Midget league rivals 37-16, including a pair of wins last weekend over the South Island Royals.

“It is always one of the goals we have at the start of the season, and this will be my fourth (Mac’s) since joining the organization (as an assistant coach),” said coach Jeff Urekar.

It’s not just any tourney, either. Stacked with many of the best midget-aged teams from across Western Canada, central and western U.S. and European clubs, the Mac’s is renowned for being

scouting central during the final week of the year.

The Chiefs are playing well and have shown over the past month that the berth was deserved.

In Saturday’s 6-3 win, Jack Steffens tallied twice as the Northeast squad built up a 3-0 lead in the first period. South Island answered back in the second and pulled within a goal, before defenceman James Bohn fired in the eventual gamewinning goal.

Quinton Hill, Sam Schofield and Dylan Wilson rounded out the offence, while Burnaby netminder Michael Harroch collected the win.

Harroch was back in net Sunday to backstop the 6-1 decision. In that contest, Nicolas Roussel counted a pair of goals and two helpers to spark the team past the ninth-place Royals.

Team captain Dante Ballarin, a New West native, and Logan Kurki were coming off a major achievement the night prior – both made their B.C. Hockey League debuts as callups for the Coquitlam junior A Express on Saturday.

They made their presence known by each scoring a goal in the Express’ 8-4 win, with Ballarin’s standing as

the game winner.

“It was great to see them both get on the scoreboard,” said Urekar. “They’re all

working towards climbing the junior hockey ladder, and we’re extremely pleased when our players get these

opportunities.”

The third-place Chiefs travel to Kelowna to play the fourth-place Rockets

this weekend to wrap up the first half of the season.

From bench warmer to guard in the spotlight

Hard work and perseverance helped elevate Hyacks’ co-captain to a starring position on the hoop team Dan Olson

Not all opportunities are created equal.

But when a good one appears, the more determined players grab it for all they’ve got.

New Westminster’s Mo AlGhreibawi is doing just that.

The co-captain of the Hyacks senior boys basketball team, AlGhreibawi has high expectations for this final season – as do his teammates. On paper, the feisty underdogs of the Burnaby-New West league have a lot of the components that could see them give provincial finalists Byrne Creek and 4-A champion Burnaby South some restless quarters.

However, staying with those highly ranked rivals for a full 40 minutes? Let’s say there are doubters around.

None of them are wearing orange and black, however.

Al-Ghreibawi knows something about being unranked, having

spent most of the past three seasons as a support player with limited floor time.

Those experiences, however, didn’t define him. But they did motivate him.

“It’s always tough just sitting and watching, especially when you’re part of the team and want to get in,” Al-Ghreibawi said Tuesday after his team racked up a

This is my first year getting big minutes, so it’s really exciting for me.

comfortable 97-76 exhibition win over visiting Centennial. “It just made me want to work harder for (this) year, more than anything to push me more in the summer and offseason to keep grinding

and just trying to get better to get where I am now. I feel proud in myself now that I’m here.”

“Here” is a starting role with the club, where his teammates put his name forward as one to lead.

It’s also a position from where he can be a good influence and help in the team’s pursuit of a lengthy playoff run.

Make no bones about it, watching others play is not only difficult, but for some it’s a hard pill to swallow. But the Grade 12 point guard says he made it pay off and isn’t about to take a step back.

“Guys can take it one of two ways; some people get frustrated and don’t want to play anymore; and some people get benched and take that as motivation and inspiration and that’s what I chose to do with it,” he said.

He was in good form Tuesday, as New West broke open a three-point game early in the second quarter with an 11-3 run that included one of Al-Ghreibawi’s three treys on the night. He fin-

ished with 15 points, while teammate Ethan Rivas powered to a team-high 20 points. Luke Burton chipped in with 14 points.

It came on the heels of the team’s 1-3 record at the Cariboo Hill tourney, where head coach Ted Cusick chose to sit his starters and give the floor time to his bench.

While they bettered the host squad 88-72, New West’s ‘B’ team dropped a pair of games to No. 7-ranked Vancouver College by an aggregate of 205-147, with the Vancouver school playing all its regulars.

“We lost to Vancouver College twice, and they didn’t sit their guys,” noted Cusick. “We’ll remember that – and we meet them first round in the Terry Fox Legal Beagle (in January).That will be a fun one for us to remember.”

For Al-Ghreibawi, watching from the sidelines this time was different.

“I feel it was a good learning experience for both the bench

and the starters, and it was a real good idea by coach, because some games the entire bench doesn’t get in. Having an entire tournament dedicated to them was definitely a good idea, and good for their confidence.”

He’s been there. Having watched last year’s team fall short at the Lower Mainlands was difficult, wanting to be on the floor and help be a difference maker.

Using his own experience as a tool to support his fellow teammates is the sign of a leader.

“In junior I was on the bench, I was like the sixth man. I felt I could have started then but my coach thought otherwise,” he said.

“I know what it feels like.This is my first year getting big minutes, so it’s really exciting for me. I’m definitely trying to make sure they know I understand what they’re going through.”

His emergence as a sparkplug wasn’t set in stone, but with a new coach coming in – Cusick last Continued on page 36

New West primed to be the underdog

Continued from page 35 coached senior boys three years ago, but took over from Arno Richter last spring – there was a fresh chance.

“He was on the second string last year, and I thought back in April, he may have trouble making it,” recalled Cusick.

“I had my doubts about it because he was way down the list and didn’t play much. But he worked on it over the summer. His shot improved and he’s a smart player. He was smart from Day 1. He’s just worked out real well. I’m really happy with him.”

The team faces plenty of obstacles before playoffs arrive.The first pitfalls are some tough league opponents – led by the aforementioned highly ranked Burnaby South and Byrne Creek. New West hosts its annual Bob Gair Classic, starting Dec. 19 with the likes of Alpha, A.R. McNeill, Maple Ridge and Enver Creek in attendance.

On Boxing Day, the squad heads to Seattle to play in

the Franklin Tournament of Champions, where they have been plugged in as the host’s first opponent.

No doubt, the Franklin Quakers expect a game where they can ramp it up and excite the home crowd. Cusick said the Hyacks go with their eyes wide open.

“The home team, we play them first, so we’re cannon fodder,” said the bench boss, who is in his 46th year of high school coaching, including his second stint at NWSS. “That’s fine. It’ll be a packed house and we’ll get demolished, supposedly.That’s going to be fun.They’ll learn so much by watching, plus we’ll travel as a team, live as a team.”

It’s part-and-parcel with being an underdog, Al-Ghreibawi said. And he embraces that.

“I like being the underdog, it’s really so rewarding when you come out, all odds against you, and you topple the team you’re going up against,” he said.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
