NEWSMAKER OF THE YEAR

JonathanCote:Mayorstepsintonewroles NewWest’s mayor won re-election in a landslide and established himself on the regional stage

It doesn’t seem that long ago that Jonathan Cote was a freshfaced council candidate amid a crowd of much-older colleagues. A decade later, he’s poised to become a power player in regional politics. With a number of Metro Vancouver mayors opting not to run in the 2018 election, and other incumbents losing their seats, Cote easily won back his seat and is now the fifth-longest-serving mayor in the region. At the ripe old age of 39, he’s a veteran politician in the Lower Mainland – and our Newsmaker of theYear. Cote first appeared on the local political scene in 2005. He won a spot on council and two subsequent terms before taking on incumbent mayor Wayne Wright in the 2014 election and winning. This fall, Cote trounced three other mayoral candidates to secure a second term as mayor. Cote, who has a master’s degree in urban studies from Simon Fraser University and is a bit of a policy wonk, is rarely short on ideas, whether it’s creating task forces to delve into matters like affordable housing and transportation, campaigning with initiatives like 50 ideas in 50 days or suggesting New West implement initiatives he’s seen in other cities, such as placing furniture in public places for residents to enjoy. As good as his ideas may be, Cote has seen firsthand some of the challenges that go with implementation. Despite his desire to connect New Westminster by building a pedestrian/cyclist bridge between the Queensborough and Quayside neighbourhoods, that project proved far too costly for the city. And speaking of city coffers, Cote leads a council that’s hearing from more and more residents

such as those associated with the sewer, water and electrical utilities, the city could be looking to spend – and borrow – millions of dollars. If money grew on trees, that wouldn’t be a problem. Citizens look to Cote, as mayor, to find the right balance between the needs of a growing community and the financial limitations of

taxpayers. Cote, who hopes to champion issues like transit and the housing crisis at the regional level, will have a front row seat for discussions on the region’s transportation and transit; he was recently elected chair of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation – the group responsible for

considering TransLink plans dealing with transportation service levels, major capital projects, regional funding and borrowing limits. Cote has a talent for taking differing viewpoints and trying to find common ground – a skill he will surely need to put to the test in New Westminster and at Metro Vancouver in the year ahead.

City STORY OF THE YEAR

Thecivicelectionandthewindsofchange Change was in the air before the final verse of Auld Lang Syne rang out on Jan. 1, 2018. A civic election often signals a time for renewal for a city.This year’s race did not disappoint, and that’s why the 2018 civic election is our News Story of theYear. AN EARLY START With the 2018 municipal election still months away, a new civic slate was already busy readying itself for the October election.The new contender was the New Westminster Progressive Electors Coalition Society, and it promised, if elected, to bring new ideas and diverse opinions to city hall. And with longtime councillors Lorrie Williams and Bill Harper announcing they weren’t going to run again, there were at least two seats up for grabs on council. It didn’t take long for the New West Progressives, led by founding member Daniel Fontaine, to go after the stronghold labour-endorsed councillors had on New Westminster City Hall. “We need to have different perspectives,” Fontaine told the Record in January. “We need to have some folks on council that are not all from the same political organization.” But by the time the campaign was in full swing, it became clear the change residents wanted went deeper than political stripes. DIVERSITY FOR THE WIN According to 2016 census data, 39 per cent of the city’s population is from a visible minority population; taking into account the city’s 3.3 per cent Aboriginal population, that brings the total up to 42.3 per cent “non-white” residents. But that diversity was not reflected among the city’s elected officials, and this year’s crop of candidates set out to change that. Team Cote school board candidate Anita Ansari, whose family hails from Pakistan, told the Record during the campaign that the lack of diversity in the city’s elected officials was an important consideration for her in deciding to run. “I have a daughter, and I want her to be able to imagine to be mayor of someplace.Whether she chooses to or not, I want the possibilities to be open for a

woman of colour,” she said. New West Progressives school board candidate Cyrus Sy agreed. “I always felt that most elected officials, especially in New Westminster, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of visible minorities,” he said. “One of the values that I have when it comes to government is that I think it should represent the community makeup. In New Westminster, 40 per cent or so are visible minorities. It only makes sense that our elected government reflects that.” On Oct. 20, voters proved they too were looking for more diversity on city council and school board. Visible minority candidates found their way not only into office, but to the top of the polls. Nadine Nakagawa, a selfdescribed millennial of Japanese descent, finished the night atop the council polls, while Ansari topped the school board race. Nakagawa was joined on

council by fellow newcomer Chinu Das. Ansari was elected to school board, alongside Gurveen Dhaliwal. Dhaliwal said, as a woman of colour, it’s particularly important to her to be able to connect with a diverse community. “When I speak to somebody in Punjabi, and I’m able to communicate the complexities of SOGI in a language they understand, then they feel connected to the school system, and it’s so exciting,” she told the Record. THE FUTURE IS FEMALE Perhaps the biggest change the election brought the city was the shift from a male-dominated school board. With incumbent trustees Jonina Campbell, Casey Cook, James Janzen, Michael Ewen and Kelly Slade-Kerr all deciding not to seek re-election, the race for school board was wide open.

By the time the dust had settled on election night, there were five new faces on school board and the overwhelming majority were female. “There’s so many women!” Dhaliwal shouted on election night. Dhaliwal was one of five women elected to the school board. She and running mates Ansari and Dee Beattie topped the polls, with Danielle Connelly, Maya Russell and Mary Lalji also joining them at the board table. Gifford, one of seven men who ran for school trustee, was the only male candidate to win a seat on the school board. “Mark’s going to be so surrounded by women he isn’t going to know what to do,” Beattie said on election night. These changes say a lot about representation in politics in New Westminster, and we’re excited about what the future holds for our city.

City YEAR-END AWARDS

Honouring the good, the bad and the weird THE SIZE MATTERS AWARD This goes to the Hyack Swim Club and proponents of a 10-lane replacement pool for the future aquatics centre facility that will replace Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre.While city council was on a path to build a pool with eight lanes, that plan took a bit of a detour after delegations made a case for building a 10-lane pool.Will the feds come through with funding for the pool?Will the city actually build a 10-lane pool? We should know answers to those questions later in 2019. THE SEEING RED AWARD (ALTERNATIVELY KNOWN AS THE GREEN WITH ENVY AWARD) This goes to politicos and community members who bickered over the colour orange during the municipal election campaign.The New West Progressives electors group riled up folks who have long considered themselves “progressives” with the group’s name – and took it a step further when they chose the colour orange for its advertising. Critics, including labour-endorsed candidates and their supporters, complained that the Progressives had intentionally used a colour affiliated with the NDP to confuse voters, while the Progressives stated the colour was bold and long associated with the NewWestminster Hyacks.We don’t quite buy that explanation, but it’s just a colour – time to move on to the issues. THE MOST ENGAGING POLITICO AWARD This goes to NewWest city councillor Patrick Johnstone, who blogged at nwimby.blogspot.com before being elected to council in 2014 and has carried on with his wordy ways. Not only does Johnstone blog about every single council meeting and major issues in the region (now at

patrickjohnstone.ca), but he’s quick to respond to comments on social media. We may not always agree with what Johnstone has to say, but we give him kudos for really engaging with folks online. For those who prefer to engage in person, Johnstone has been known to set up his Ask Pat stand at local community events to chat with community members about issues of the day. THE BEST USE OF A ROOT VEGETABLE AWARD This goes to mayoral candidate Jimmie Bell, who produced a giant radish at an all-candidates meeting in October when discussing the loss of farmland in Queensborough. THE FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS AWARD This goes to NewWestminster, a longtime NDP riding that’s finally enjoying some perks of an NDP government.While the Liberals put a number of projects, like the Royal Columbian Hospital expansion and replacement for NewWestminster Secondary School, in motion while they were in government, NDP politicians have already visited NewWest on a number of occasions to announce funding for projects in the city. Since being sworn in in July 2017, NDP visits to NewWest have included an appearance by Premier John Horgan in February to announce the province would pay for a replacement for the Pattullo Bridge and by Education Minister Rob Fleming in March to announce funding for a replacement for Richard McBride Elementary School. THE BAD NEIGHBOUR AWARD This goes to Schnitzer Metal Recyclers, where fires broke out on barges containing crushed vehicles and appliances – sending plumes of smoke into the air in August and October. Along with air quality, crit-

ics have expressed concern about the impact that pouring water onto the burning metal has on fish in the Fraser River below the barges. We’re not experts in scrap metal, but surely Schnitzer and the Port ofVancouver, which leases the site to the U.S.-based metal recycling and steel manufacturer, can do something to prevent future barge fires. THE CITY WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF EVERYONE WERE MORE LIKE THEM AWARDS These go to several local residents who have contributed to the community in different ways. Last year, NewWest resident Kyle Routledge launched an initiative to enhance the Glenbrook Ravine by removing invasive species and planting native plants. This year he led the initiative, now supported by New Westminster Environmen-

tal Partners, which saw volunteers spend several days working in the ravine – all with the goal of enhancing this beautiful space for all to enjoy. Dee Cavanagh warmed our hearts – and the bodies of those in need – with her Chase the Chill initiative this December. In addition to knitting many toques and scarves on her own, Cavanagh sought (and received) donations from other crafters and dispersed them at a yarnbombing event at Hyack Square earlier this month. A big bouquet to Reena Meijer Drees for keeping the Poppy Project going for a second year. People involved with the project make and collect donations of handcrafted poppies that now adorn a blanket that makes the rounds in the city around Remembrance Day. The art installation aims to honour all Canadians who

have experienced the horrors of war. And speaking of poppies, we salute Col. Karen Baker MacGrotty, honorary colonel of The Royal Westminster Regiment, who is the lead organizer of the No Stone Left Alone event. Now in its second year, the event rounds up volunteers who place poppies on military gravestones in Fraser Cemetery in recognition of the sacrifices that fallen soldiers and veterans have made serving Canada. Lest we forget. Kudos also go out to the Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard, which

held a fundraiser in November 2017 to buy a gravestone forWilliam Stevenson, a FirstWorldWar veteran who died in 1939 in New Westminster and was buried in an unmarked grave. Along with buying a gravestone for Stevenson and unveiling it this November, the campaign raised enough money to buy gravestones for other veterans who were buried in unmarked graves in NewWestminster. To all of these citizens, and to everyone else quietly making a difference in the community, our thanks.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Some resolutions we’d like to see for our community The presents have all been opened. You are (hopefully) over your turkey coma. Now what? It’s time to start thinking ahead to 2019 and making some resolutions. We have a few suggestions about things you can do that will make life a lot better for yourself and those around you. Here is our list of 2019 resolutions. ! Pay attention – When you are out and about in traffic, please pay attention to what’s around you. It was

a deadly year for road fatalities on our local streets.The victims ranged from drivers to cyclists to pedestrians. No matter which one of those you are, you need to pay better attention – especially drivers because you are driving the most dangerous vehicles.We don’t want to see any more victims. ! Be part of the solution – To the opioid epidemic, that is. Stop thinking it’s just a Downtown Eastside issue. People from all walks of life are dying. Close to 1,500 are dead in B.C. alone due to the opioid crisis, 4,000

across Canada in 2017 – numbers that are likely to be repeated, if not exceeded, by year’s end. A whopping 81 per cent of overdose deaths in B.C. have been linked to fentanyl, with men between 19 and 59 being most likely to die.There are two ways to be part of the solution. One refers to people who use drugs – don’t use alone.Two-thirds of overdose deaths were people using drugs alone. The second refers to people getting a naloxone kit and learning how to use it in case somebody around

you – be it a friend, family member or stranger – overdoses.You could save a life, and that would be a great thing to happen in 2019. ! Vote – It wasn’t exactly a banner year for voter turnouts, either in the municipal elections or the referendum on changing our voting system. City elections had voter turnouts hovering around 30 per cent across the province. In the referendum, it was just over 41 per cent, despite the fact that the ballot was literally mailed to homes. All people had to do was check a few boxes, put

the forms into an envelope and drop them into a slot. The 43rd federal election happens on Oct. 21, 2019. Please get informed about the issues and exercise your democratic rights. ! Read the article – This is a personal one for us. When deciding to vent against something in a newspaper, please, do us a favour and actually read the article. Like, all the way through.That way you’ll know if what you’re angry about has actually been addressed in the article.We feel that, if enough people

do this, the world will be a much calmer place. Basically, this means do your research before getting outraged.We all benefit from that. ! Get involved – Our community has so many ways to get involved, and if more people gave even a few extra days a year, the impact would be tremendous.This ranges from joining a committee to volunteering for an event to just going around your neighbourhood picking up garbage. Being involved will make you feel connected.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Greens lose big with PR result

The big-tent parties can heave a sigh of relief, while the B.C. Green Party can only look on despairingly as its best chance at escaping the political margins has vanished. British Columbia may have also dodged a bullet that could have allowed the rising intolerance gripping much of the world to gain a foothold. Those are my main takeaways from the recently concluded referendum on electoral reform, which saw voters decisively kick to the curb the idea that a proportional representation model for electing MLAs was a preferred option. It is the third time in the past 15 years that voters have rejected the idea of getting rid of the current firstpast-the-post system. Given the fraying of democracy in so many places, where minority interests disproportionately wield power over a collective majority, I am not surprised at the outcome. Our current system usually produces stable, fairly moderate governments. After all, can anyone make the argument that any of the governments led by W.A.C. Bennett, Dave Barrett, Bill Bennett, Bill Vander Zalm, Mike Harcourt, Glen Clark, Gordon Campbell, Christy Clark or John Horgan were or are really horrible or extremist? Of those administrations – all elected under FPTP – only the Vander Zalm regime could arguably be labelled a bit extreme, and that was really only regard-

ing the abortion issue. Moving to a PR system would have allowed fringe parties to potentially hold the balance of power in the legislature and conceivably be able to push around larger parties that received more votes but need the support folks on the fringe to hold power. In other words, the minority would have held the keys to the car and could insist on taking turns driving it.The price to pay in order to form government could have been a steep one, or one that could prove offensive to so many people. The political fallout of this failed scheme is unclear. The Greens lost the most, since they had the most to gain from a change to PR. One has to wonder whether the enthusiasm within the party itself will begin to wane with no big PR payoff. But will it wane to the point of withdrawing its support for the BC NDP in propping it up into power? I doubt it. I think their partnership will continue. The NDP will wear this referendum loss, but only to a point. For the vast majority of the voters, this wasn’t even an issue, so I can’t see it coming back to bite the New Democrats too hard at the next election. No, the chief certainty is that electoral reform in this province is dead. Now everyone can get on with solving much more urgent and pressing problems. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Riverboat casino a real gamble The Royal City Star, a riverboat casino docked at the New West Quay, opened with a gala reception attended by 800 people, some in period costume, in October.The casino welcomed its first customers the following day, drawing nearly 10,000 visitors in just 18 hours.The Star, a 1994 Mississippi riverboat refurbished to resemble the sternwheelers that once plied the Fraser River, had four decks, two licensed lounges, 300 slot machines and 30 gaming tables. Eager gamblers started lining up at 7 a.m. on opening day, three hours before the boat was opened for business. Mayor Helen Sparkes christened the vessel with the traditional smashing of a bottle of champagne.

National news: New Westminster made national headlines for all the wrong reasons after video surfaced of an incident at a local Tim Hortons. PHOTO SCREENGRAB

YEAR-END AWARDS

Iced Capp meltdown goes viral TAKE A CHILL PILL AWARD A New Westminster Tim Hortons made national news in September when police released surveillance footage of a young man losing it over what he alleged was a poorly made Iced Capp. The incident happened at the Timmies on Carnarvon Street.

Video footage shows the man verbally attacking staff before he pours the Iced Capp on the counter and knocks the register to the ground. Police allege that before the man fled, he attacked another customer who had tried to intervene in the incident. A month later, a suspect was caught in Powell Riv-

er and brought back to the Lower Mainland where he was charged with two counts of assault and one count of mischief under $5,000. The moral of the story? Maybe next time you should just order a Double Double and call it a day.

City SCHOOLS

Trustees look to city to help solve traffic woes

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster school trustees are counting on the mayor and city council to be able to help put an end to the traffic chaos that erupts around Queen Elizabeth Elementary and Queensborough Middle schools every day before and after school. After a month of deliberation, school board chair Mark Gifford sent a letter on behalf of all trustees urging the city to address traffic safety concerns around the two schools, specifically along Salter Street. “As a location with severe site constraints, including limited sidewalks, crosswalks or traffic signals, we are witnessing growing conflict between pedestrian and vehicle traffic compounded by tremendous growth,” Gifford wrote. “We are looking for guidance and support from the city to improve the current design and infrastructure concerns.” Trustee Mary Lalji has been pushing for improvements to Salter Street since September. She wanted the school board to approve the creation of a joint task force with the city and other stakeholders to tackle the traffic problems around the Queensborough schools,

but her fellow trustees felt a task force wasn’t the right direction. Instead, trustees decided to write a letter to the mayor and, in the meantime, directed district staff to contact the city to see what it would take to resolve the traffic problems. Earlier this month, superintendent Karim Hachlaf told trustees he’d been in contact with an architect to see if any modifications could be made to the parking lot at Queen Elizabeth Elementary School to improve dropoff and pickup at the school. “The architect was able to draft up right now three options in ways that we could not lose parking spots, but maximize a dropoff area,” he said. “Those drawings are draft right now, but the options considered are a roundabout, around the existing parking lot, including a pullout along Salter.” No details on cost or what the modifications would look like have been released yet. But the Queensborough Residents’ Association wants a solution that’s more immediate. Association president Laurie Moore and director Laura Ranalletta were at a combined education and

Crisis line set for busy season Ever notice how the holiday season starts a little earlier each year? From Black Friday sales that start on Thursday, to holiday music on the radio the morning after Halloween, the stress that often accompanies this time of year can creep up on those who experience mental health and substance use challenges during the holiday season. The good news is that help is just a phone call away. The 24/7 Fraser Health Crisis Line (604-951-8855 or toll-free at 1-877-820–7444 ) provides immediate, free and anonymous emotional support, crisis intervention and community resource information to people of all ages, 24 hours a day, every day. “During the holidays, we usually see an uptick in calls related to depression or anxiety, often associated with an increase in isolation.We also have people who are worried about being able to afford gifts for their kids, or wonder how they’re going to survive their first Christmas without their loved one,” said Dr. Anson Koo, program medical director of mental health and substance use at Fraser Health, in a news release.

operations policy and planning committee meeting earlier this month to share their ideas on how to address traffic safety concerns on Salter Street. Ranalletta, whose kids attend the elementary school, said there’s been talk about asking the owners of the

nearby Roma Hall if parents could use its parking lot for pickup and dropoff. “People in our community have initially put out feelers to see if the Roma Hall would be interested,” Ranalletta told trustees. “It’s a banquet and event space that’s typically only used on

the weekends and the odd weekday, but never during dropoff and pickup. “That parking lot – that would take care of the problem.” Trustees applauded the association’s initiative and gave the group their full support to move forward on

the Roma Hall idea while they wait to hear from the city about other potential solutions. Staff is expected to provide an update to the board of education in the new year on their discussions with the city.

Police rally residents in Queensborough Goal is to have residents take an active role in preventing crime

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Police are encouraging Queensborough residents to take an active role in keeping their neighbourhood crime-free. About 20 people turned out to the Queensborough Community Centre last week to hear from Chief Const. Dave Jones and other officers about crime prevention efforts in their neighbourhood. The meeting was organized by the Queensborough Residents’ Association after nearly a dozen residents living in the Port Royal neighbourhood had items stolen from their vehicles. The evening included presentations by Jones, Const.Wendy Bowyer, Jennifer Sanford, from the crime prevention unit, Jeff Tannar, forensic video analyst, and Stuart Eng, IT and video analyst for the police department. Bowyer, who lives in Queensborough, said the community has already done a good job developing its own crime prevention tools, including starting a private Facebook page for the neighbourhood, moderated by the residents’ association. “You guys really have a Block Watch program now

Community YEAR END AWARDS

Ewen steps away after nearly 40 years THE RETIREMENT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU AWARD Known for his fiery opinions and staying power, former school trustee Michael Ewen surprised everyone when he announced he wouldn’t seek reelection this year after serving 39 years on the New Westminster school board. Ewen was first elected to the board when he was just 25

years old. It was 1979 and the school district had only eight elementary schools and one high school and was suffering from declining enrolment. During his tenure, Ewen helped transform this little district into one of the most thriving districts in the province. He and his fellow trustees (he’s worked with dozens) didn’t always get along, but that never

bothered Ewen. He admits not everyone liked him; one trustee went so far as to call him the “spawn of the devil,” he told the Record back in August. “I can be combative,” he admitted. “I’m passionate about kids and learning and providing support for their learning. … I don’t think we should ever apologize for being passionate.”

Michael Ewen retired

Cuddles: Queen’s Avenue Preschool student Sawyer Barbon is shown with Windy, one of two rescued guinea pigs found out in the cold. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Disaster averted for guinea pigs Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A chance encounter between strangers may have averted a tragic ending for Wind and Windy. Donna Ross, head teacher at Queen’s Park Preschool, was recently walking to work when she met a man who was walking his dog. He told her he’d seen two guinea pigs in the Queen’s Park bandshell. “We went over there and these guinea pigs were huddled together, shivering and scared,” Ross said in a press release. “There was some food on a newspaper, but they seemed to be abandoned pets someone didn’t want anymore and left there in the cold.” Together, the two strangers coaxed the frightened creatures into a small Tim Hortons box and took them to the preschool. After a visit to the vet, where they got a clean bill of health, a hair trim, a bath and some mite

medicine, Ross said the guinea pigs returned to the preschool where they became an “instant sensation” with the students. “The kids treat them like rock stars,” she said. According to Ross, staff of the non-profit preschool paid for the veterinarian and other costs related to the guinea pigs and several families were quick to donate items for the care and shelter of the two eight-month old females, who were named Wind and Windy by students. “Fortunately, it turned out well for Wind and Windy, but it easily could have ended in disaster,” Ross said. “We definitely encourage people to reach out. You don’t have to leave your unwanted pets in the park. There are places and people who can help.” The New West animal shelter can be reached at shelter@newwestcity.ca or 604-519-2008 (or 604-5264691 after hours).

Celebrating Seniors

Give a senior in your life the gift of your time A provincewide awareness campaign has been taking aim at reducing social isolation among B.C. seniors during the festive season – but it’s a message worth remembering into the new year. The B.C. Care Providers Association’s Gift of Time campaign is working to raise awareness about the loneliness and social isolation many seniors face during a time when many families and friends are celebrating.

The campaign reminds people to reach out to seniors living in a care home, or living alone at home. “There is no easy solution when it comes to the challenge of social isolation among seniors, but raising awareness is a vital first step.We hope the #GiftOfTime awareness campaign kicks off an important conversation,” association CEO Daniel Fontaine said in a press release. “When people are celebrating the festive

season with loved ones, this is the best time to remind the public to reach out to a senior.” If you don’t have time to visit, the association notes that even spending a few minutes on a phone call can brighten the lives of many

B.C. seniors. “Studies have shown that social isolation for seniors has severe health impacts that increase the burden on the health-care system,” said a press release from the association. “It is shown that those who are more con-

nected with their family and friends lead longer and healthier lives.” While Christmas Day is behind us, there’s still time to reach out to the seniors in your life as 2018 comes to an end and people prepare to celebrate the new

year. Additional information and resources on the subject of social isolation among seniors, including copies of the campaign advertisements can be accessed at www.bccare.ca.

Business Development company opens new HQ at Anvil Centre MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Century Group recently showcased its new digs on the 10th floor of Anvil Centre. The family-owned, mixed-use real estate development company recently held an official opening of its new corporate headquarters in the Anvil Centre Office Tower at 11 Eighth St. “NewWestminster is at the centre of MetroVancouver and on the leading edge of change, with a rich heritage,” said Century House president Sean Hodgins in a press release. “We were attracted here, just like many new residents and new workers are, with NewWestminster’s excellent transit accessibility, its revitalized and vibrant historic downtown and its picturesque Fraser River waterfront.” The move to NewWest comes after three years in Surrey City Centre, where the company completed the mixed-use project Civic Hotel and 3 Civic Plaza, next to

the Surrey Central SkyTrain station. Vancouver architect Gair Williamson and interior designer Karin Bohn of House of Bohn designed the 15,000-square-foot office space that takes up the entire 10th floor of the Anvil Centre Office Tower.Williamson’s concept for the space was that of a city within a city. “The approach to the open concept design of the office layout is one of the districts, with hallways as avenues and boardwalks – all walkable and reminiscent of the urban plan with ‘publicprivate’ spaces that inspire a sense of community,” said a press release.

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

Recently, it seems that there have been big swings in home prices within a given year. Are we just in a lull for values at the current time, or is the sky really going to fall?

You’re bang on! For the past few years there has consistently been a DERRICK THORNHILL 60-90 day period of high demand Park Georgia Realty and upward pressure on pricing. Then, bang, it’s over and the slide for demand and pricing sets in. This is partially due to government’s efforts to slow the market. Every new hurdle brought in to slow the market has been followed by a 6-9 month waitand-see response from buyers. Then, the market assimilates: demand rises, prices pop a little, then in comes another effort to correct our real estate crisis and the buyers climbs back on the fence waiting for the sky to fall. Its not going to fall! If the government would just step back and let the market dictate its own direction, I believe it would ﬁnd its own balance. Hot tip: Buy now and sell in Feb!

QUEEN’S PARK PET HOSPITAL

The holidays are a wonderful time to make new memories with your family and pets. Here are some tips that will allow your pet to stay safe this holiday season: • . . . . Chocolate and anything sweetened with xylitol can be very dangerous for your pet. Make sure to keep your pets away from the table and unattended plates of food. Secure the lids on garbage cans and do not put wrapped presents under the tree that contain chocolate or other food. • Kitties love this sparkly, light-catching “toy” that’s easy to bat around and carry in their mouths. Cats may swallow tinsel and ribbon, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, severe vomiting, dehydration and possible surgery.

What are ceramides?

Ceramides are lipids (aka fat molecules) that are found in high concentrations within cell membranes. Lipid’s have one of three functions -- they make up part of the structure of a cell’s membrane, KATIE MARSHALL storing energy or signaling actions in cells. Ceramide is a structural and signaling molecule. It is made up of a fatty acid called sphingosine and is located within the membrane of cells, in great concentrations. Ceramides are located in the top layer of the skin and hold skin cells together, much like mortar holds bricks together in a brick wall. They are the body’s natural moisturizer and help form the protective waterproof barrier to help plump the skin, retain moisture and protect skin from pre-mature aging. Ceramides also help the skin protect against environmental aggressors like irritants, pollution and dry air.

• Don’t leave lighted candles unattended. Pets may burn themselves or cause a ﬁre if they knock candles over. Be sure to use appropriate candle holders, placed on a stable surface. • Keep wires, batteries and glass or plastic ornaments out of paws’ reach. A wire can deliver a potentially lethal electrical shock and a punctured battery can cause burns to the mouth and esophagus. Shards of breakable ornaments can injure your pet’s mouth and digestive tract. • Securely anchor your Christmas tree so it doesn’t tip and fall over, causing possible injury to your pet. Tree water may contain fertilizers that can cause stomach upset. • Some pets love the comings and goings of the holidays but others do not like their routine disrupted. Provide pets with a sanctuary room where they can relax if things become overwhelming. Use pet calming pheromones like Feliway or Adaptil and play soothing classical music made for pets. Discuss options for safe calming supplements and medications with your family veterinarian.

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

When is my pet a senior? What signs should I be watching for?

Depending on the size and breed of your pet, senior wellness testing is recommended starting at 7 or 8 years of age. Senior pets should have a wellness examination and labwork every 6 months as dogs DR. MANJU ARORA and cats age much more quickly than we do. Wellness testing allows us to detect problems early and gives us a baseline for each individual pet. Your senior dog or cat should be checked by a veterinarian if you notice any of the following changes: • Increased or decreased appetite or drinking • Increased urinating • Behaviour Changes (for example cats who are usually affectionate may seek more time alone if not feeling well or vice versa) • Stool changes (soft or liquid stool or less than one bowel movement a day) • Skin Lumps • Difﬁculty running, jumping or stiffness

ASK A NATUROPATH

Q A

I am thinking of having a baby soon, is there anything I can do now to get ready?

First of all, congratulations! This is an exciting time. To answer your question: ABSOLUTELY! I recommend (if possible) all prospective parents do preDR. STEPHANIE PELTZ, ND conception healthcare for a minimum of 3-4 months before trying to get pregnant. During this period, a man’s sperm are being built from scratch, and a woman’s egg is being recruited and maturing for release. Research shows pre-conception care can improve ease of conception, reduce risk of miscarriage, and positively impact the health of babies for years to come. This program is tailored speciﬁcally to every patient’s unique needs. It involves some form of detoxiﬁcation, assessment and optimization of nutrient status, stress management, lifestyle coaching, the prescription of any indicated naturopathic remedies (including herbs, vitamins, and minerals), potentially acupuncture, and fertility awareness through tracking menstrual cycles. This is one of my favourite aspects of my practice!

Q A

How can a window covering help with energy efﬁciency, cold air, insulation and/or sound absorption?

A window covering such as cellular/honey comb shades are one of the LACEY & CLAY TIERNEY best options for energy efﬁciency as they create an air gap between the room and the window. Inside the honey comb design, there is a high quality polyester which aids in sound absorption. In addition, they are one of the only products with a top-down/bottom-up option which provides tremendous versatility – they can be made very large to suit New Westminster’s modern high-rise population.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY December 27, 2018 21

Arts & Entertainment Holiday panto onstage at Massey Families and folks of all ages are invited to turn out for merriment and mayhem when Royal Canadian Theatre Company brings its traditional British pantomime back to New Westminster. Hansel, Gretel and the Strolling Players is onstage Friday, Jan. 4 and Saturday, Jan. 5 at the Massey Theatre. Ellie King, a.k.a. the “Queen of Panto,” brings a newly written script to life featuring all the action expected of a holiday panto-

mime.The story follows Hansel and Gretel, who live with their father in the town of Understrudel, where the apple crop has failed for the past five years. When the silly and entertaining Strolling Players come to town, they play their part in foiling the dastardly plans of Mistress Grimm.While Honey Crisp and Billy fall in love, and Dame Lotta Wobbledart teaches her new students, Hansel and Gretel are led into the woods, unknow-

ingly headed towards a dastardly fate. Can the Good Fairy, Queen Bluebird, win the day and save the children? Or will King Raven and Witch Grimm turn the children into servants forever? As with all panto performances, the audience can cheer the good guys and boo the bad guys, plus enjoy all the cheesy puns and jokes, music and magic that they’ve come to expect. This year marks the debut of a brand-new “dame”

– the tradition of a man dressed up as a female character, this time played by James King. A New Westminster family is front and centre in this year’s cast, as Stephen Elcheshen plays King Raven, with Kerri Norris as Livia Grimm and their children Aeron as Hansel and Cayleigh as Gretel. Massey Theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave. For tickets, see www.ticketsnw.ca or call 604-521-5050.
