City takes aim at renovictions Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster is attempting to put an end to “heart-wrenching” renovictions.

On Monday, city council endorsed a new rental housing revitalization initiative that includes several components – a rental replacement policy to slow the redevelopment of older purpose-built market rental buildings; a rental revitalization tax exemption to incentivize the maintenance and protection of existing rental buildings; and new business licensing requirements to prohibit renovictions. If approved, New Westminster will have the first municipal bylaws in the province that impose restrictions and fines for renovictions.

Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services, said renovictions are becoming more commonplace in New Westminster, and staff is aware of renovictions occurring in at least 15 rental buildings, affecting at least 315 units, in the past two years.

Mayor Jonathan Cote said rental housing is an important piece of the housing stock in New Westminster, where just over half of residents are renters.

“In many regards, our past policies have been successful and we have been leaders in the region, but I think the one area that our community has really struggled with is renovictions,” he said. “Having over 300 households be evicted through the process of renovictions, I think has been really heart wrenching on

the community and something that we as a local government have really struggled with.”

While renovictions should be governed through the province’s Residential Tenancy Act, Cote said New Westminster has faced “considerable frustration” in recent years because the recommendations it’s put forward to better protect renters have not led to changes to the Act. He said a provincial task force recently recommended putting an end to the practice of renovictions, but provided few specifics.

“I think the urgency from New Westminster’s perspective, it’s almost like every month we hear about another building that is faced with renovictions,” he said.

The proposed initiative includes two components: ! The rental replacement policy would require redevelopment of existing purpose-built rental buildings to replace existing rental units as a condition of rezoning. ! The rental housing revitalization program would reduce the incentive for renovictions and promote the maintenance of purpose-built rental buildings through revitalization tax exemptions for securing, maintaining and revitalizing of existing rental units.

It would also create business licensing restrictions against renovictions.

In addition, the city will introduce fines for actions such as imposing an excessive rent increase, and evicting tenants without permits or without relocating tenants.

River Market asks city for changes

Business owner says it’s not only difficult for people to access the market but can be downright dangerous Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Getting to River Market is not only challenging – it can be downright unsafe.

River Market representatives appeared before city council Monday night to outline challenges people are having when trying to access the waterfront, offer ideas to improve the situation and seek the city’s help.

The RiverSky project is currently under construction to the west of the market, and site work has begun on the Pier West development to the east of the market.

Jenny Cashin, who owns Mid-Century Modern Home in River Market, said it’s not only hard for people to access the market while construction is underway, but it’s also dangerous.

“I see the danger in that area every single day,” she told council. “I cringe. I wait for people to get hit. It is extremely dangerous.The (construction) site keeps expanding.The passage for vehicles keeps shrinking.

There aren’t flaggers, hardly ever. It’s not safe.”

River Market’s property manager Salim Hassan and office manager Alice Cavanagh provided the city with some “quick-fix ideas” for 2019, including allowing public parking along Quay-

side Drive (where construction crews currently park), designating stalls on Front Street (behind the Salvation Army Thrift Store) for riverfront visitors and directing developers to move construction crew parking to areas outside the riverfront so shoppers have access to those spots.

“The way the situation is right now is River Mar-

ident growth; and making walking access for people with wheelchairs and strollers easier and more comfortable.

While they’re excited about the growth that’s coming to the riverfront district, River Market officials urged the city to help minimize the pain during construction.

A recent survey found

ket is in the middle – there is construction happening on either end. All modes of transportation are currently being affected.The Q to Q ferry is the only thing that is not affected,” Hassan said.

“Many of our shop owners are reporting decreasing sales.”

River Market representatives also presented council with a number of longer

term ideas to improve access to the waterfront for the next three years, including working with TransLink to reinstate a bus stop once located by River Market.

Other suggestions included: installing better wayfinding signs from downtown to the riverfront; reviewing the downtown parking strategy to incorporate new information about business and res-

that many people were frustrated in their attempts to get to the waterfront.

According to River Market, there were 680 public parking spaces around the riverfront in 2011, but that is expected to drop to about 200 by 2022.

New Westminster city council directed staff to explore the ideas put forward

by River Market and to refer the presentation to appropriate city committees.

Council also directed staff to take immediate action to address the issue where it’s possible.

“We are well aware and concerned, obviously, about some of the immediate construction challenges because the River Market really is going to be surrounded by some rather significant construction projects over a pretty lengthy period of time. One project is coming to completion now but right on the heels of that, another project is starting,” Mayor Jonathan Cote told the Record prior to the meeting.

“We think in the longterm, both of those projects are going to be a real positive impact on the River Market, but during construction we fully recognize it’s putting a lot of pressure on the tenants in the River Market. “

Grant needed to help fund new pool Theft from vehicles is Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is hoping senior levels of government will sink some cash into the future New Westminster Aquatic and Community Centre project.

On Monday, council received two reports related to the facility that will replace the existing Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre, one seeking council’s endorsement for an application to the Canada Infrastructure Program – British Columbia and a commitment from the city to spend at least $39 million on the project.The second report related to the city’s plan to borrow funds for the project, which requires council support for a loan authorization bylaw and a

temporary borrowing bylaw.

A staff report states the grant program is allowing municipalities to submit one application and will fund up to 73.33 per cent of the eligible project costs (40 per cent from the federal government and 33.33 per cent from the provincial government), but the municipality must commit to funding the remaining 26.67 per cent.

Because of the “magnitude” of the local project and the amount of money that senior governments will make available in British Columbia, staff said the city may need to contribute more than 26.67 per cent of the project costs.

“It is recommended that the city ask for the maximum funding of 73.33 per cent, or of the total estimated eligible project cost for

the project that incorporates the augmented competitionhosting components, which would require that the city commit 26.67 per cent of eligible costs towards the project,” said a staff report.

“This totals approximately $39 million.”

Last summer, city council directed staff to pursue two design options for the facility – one that includes eight lanes, a lazy river and other components, as well as an “enhanced design option” that includes 10 lanes so the facility could host major provincial- and national-level swimming events.

Council agreed to support the enhanced option if it was successful in obtaining a “significant” grant for the project.

According to a staff report, it’s currently estimated

it will cost $103 million to build the New Westminster Aquatics and Community Centre, with the enhanced design option costing about $114 million.The city expects to fund about $20.4 million from reserves, with the remaining coming from debt – thus the need for loan authorization and temporary borrowing bylaws.

The city anticipates senior governments to make announcements about successful applications to the federal/provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure program in the fall of 2019.

Once the loan authorization bylaw is approved, the city would be able to borrow up to $93.6 million for the new facility.This doesn’t commit to borrowing all of this money, but ensures it’s available if needed.

on the rise, say police Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A spike in thefts from vehicles has prompted New Westminster Police to urge residents to remove all valuables from their vehicles and lock their car doors.

In the past week, police say they’ve received 39 reports of thefts from vehicles in the city, including 13 from the Sapperton area between Richmond and East Columbia streets and from Hospital Street to East Eighth Avenue.

Three vehicles were also stolen in the area from secure underground parking lots, according to police.

“We want to remind the public to lock their car doors and remove any valuables from their vehicles,” said New Westminster Police Sgt. Jeff Scott. “When you enter a secure underground parking lot, make sure that no one follows you in, and if you notice any suspicious people walking in your parking garage, call the police.”

This isn’t the first such warning police have issued. In December, New Westminster Police Chief Const. Dave Jones met with Queensborough residents about thefts in that neighbourhood, including thefts from vehicles. His advice to residents was to make sure they lock their vehicles and remove all valuables.

City

Consultant to review New West council pay

One reason city staff recommended an external consultant be hired is a change in the federal municipal officer’s allowance Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

What kind of pay increase will members of New Westminster city council get in 2019?

That remains to be seen.

New Westminster city council has approved a staff recommendation to hire an

external consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of council remuneration in comparison with peer municipalities to determine the appropriate pay for 2019 and to update the council remuneration policy.

While the city normally reviews council pay every

four years using a “multiple linear regression analysis” and applying a wage increase based on the Consumer Price Index, staff recommended the city hire a consultant to review council remuneration because of changes made to the Income Tax Act. A staff report stated the

federal government amended the Income Tax Act in 2017 to eliminate the current one-third tax-free municipal officer’s allowance starting on Jan. 1, 2019.

“In order to address this issue and to assess if there are other considerations, staff recommends that the city retain an external con-

sultant to conduct an independent and comprehensive review of council remuneration in comparison with peer municipalities to determine the appropriate remuneration for 2018 and to update the current policy,” said the report.

“The updated policy is expected to be available in

According to the city’s 2018 statement of financial information, Mayor Jonathan Cote received $108,592 in total remuneration in 2017, while New Westminster councillors each received around $46,000.

Cost includes electronic voting books, labour and advertising Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

We don’t yet know how much candidates spent on their 2018 election campaigns, but we do know how much it cost the city to put on the election.

Jacque Killawee, the City of New Westminster’s city clerk and chief election officer, said the city spent a total of $269,850 on the 2018 civic election.

Here’s the breakdown of those costs: electronic voting books, tabulators, location rental, contracted services and supplies – $156,595; labour – $94,373; advertising (including design costs and printing) - $13,847; statutory notices – $3,178; and general supplies – $1,857.

According to Killawee, the labour costs include staff who worked on election day and at advance voting, as well as a five-month election assistant position and overtime for union staff who worked on election days (mainly on Oct. 20).

Salaries of Killawee, who NEW LISTING

And just how do New Westminster’s election costs compare to neighbouring municipalities?

According to figures released to TheTri-City News, Coquitlam spent $307,000, which included: electronic voting books, tabulators, project management, support and supplies ($157,100); labour ($126,200); voter card mail outs ($6,000); a Get Out

Opinion OUR VIEW

Fix poverty, not just the design of donation bins

Do clothing donation bins belong in New Westminster?

New Westminster city council has asked staff to report back on the situation regarding donation bins in the city and steps it could potentially take to improve safety.

Councillors, discussing the issue Monday, said they’re sympathetic to the concerns over bin safety but want to avoid a “kneejerk reaction” to the issue.

At least eight people have

died in Canadian donation bins since 2015.The latest known tragedy in B.C. came on NewYear’s Eve, when a 34-year-old Vancouver man was found stuck in the opening of a bin near Ambleside Park.

The District of West Vancouver has decided it will temporarily seal off clothing donation bins across the municipality until safer alternatives can be found.

The non-profit that operated the bin that the man died in – Inclusion BC –

has also said it’s removing all 146 bins it has in B.C. We do not know much about the man who died, but we can only guess he must have been truly desperate to try wriggling into the narrow hatch.

According to the BC Coroners Service, there have been five deaths in clothing donation bins in our province in the last four years.

If it had been a defective child’s toy that led to someone’s death, there would

be a recall already, so we’re glad to hear New Westminster intends to take a closer look at the issue.

The overall effectiveness of the bins is up for debate.

Some of the donated clothing winds up in the garbage, and what little of it does get put to use is often sold to for-profit resellers.

But the bins are a revenue stream for charities, which are not in a position to say no to revenue.

This is why we’d suggest the province offer up some

transitional grants to help the affected charities with the hard costs of upgrading to safer bins.

Inclusion BC has asked the University of BC’s mechanical engineering Capstone Project course to work with its Canadian bin manufacturer to design a new bin that would address safety issues and ensure a public safety standard.

But while newer and safer donation boxes may result in some lives saved, this is still ultimately treat-

ing the symptom of a larger problem.

It was this time of year when Dickens told us to beware of ignorance and want.

It is a gargantuan task to ensure everyone has a home, treatment for addiction and mental health, and enough to eat.

But until that time comes, no one else should have to die, trapped in a bin put out under the auspices of helping the less fortunate.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Political ugliness only getting worse The federal election is still 10 months away, but there are growing indications it is going to be a bitter campaign based on the ugliness currently out there.

The disturbing rancour on social media will bleed into the campaign. It is being pushed by fringe elements of the political right.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has become the main target of a particularly vicious kind of attack. Aspects of the political right have taken their rhetoric beyond criticism of government policies to an almost alt-right kind of intolerance.

A Facebook group calling itself the “Yellow Vest Canada” boasts 100,000 members, and some of them have been posting death threats against Trudeau.

“Shoot the mother already,” read one post.

“Trudeau needs to be shot,” read another.

TheYellow Vests appear to be loosely associated groups of people who are united in their anger at Trudeau and issues such as what they consider “illegal” levels of immigration.

Yellow vest-clad protesters showed up at Trudeau’s visit to Kamloops last week.

Expect to see them take on a larger presence as the campaign gets closer.

But the venom goes beyond Trudeau. I got a taste of some of it when I tweeted that I was impressed with Trudeau’s willingness to hold town hall meetings and face the inevitable heckling.

The reaction that tweet received was revealing.

It made an astonishing 150,000 Twitter “impressions” and was commented

on by almost 6,500 people.

I checked many of the comments, and while a lot were supportive of Trudeau, there was a torrent of venom that had little to do with public policies and was more focused on the PM in a personal way.

In fact, a comparison could be made to the mocking, negative attacks the U.S. Republican Party relentlessly aimed at Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Something similar is developing here.

The fact that so many people weighed in to attack a particular politician (I’ve had some fairly big responses to my tweets, but nothing approaching this) suggests there is an organized effort mounting to ensure that Trudeau is associated with relentless negativity and is seen as being on the defensive as much as possible to defend his reputation.

Throw in potentially divisive issues such as immigration, multiculturalism and climate change, and the stage is being set for an election campaign that will be poisonous, to say the least.

The federal NDP, beset by fundraising problems and lacklustre leadership, seems to be sinking below the waves, and a chunk of its voting base will likely stay home or turn to the federal Liberals.

This will panic the federal Conservatives, who will likely push further to the right.

In many ways, the federal election campaign has already begun.There are times you may want to avert your eyes.

Boy terrorized in local park A teen troublemaker living near Moody Park terrorized an eight-year-old boy there in October.The boy had been riding his bike back through the park after going to the store when he passed a group of teens. One of them jumped out in front of him and said, “Hey, you’ve got a sucker in your mouth, you big baby. Got any more candy?

You must be rich.” He punched the boy in the throat and pushed him off the bike. At the urging of his friends, he then drop-kicked him before a girl yelled at the group to stop. A passing cyclist escorted the crying boy home. Police said the troublemaker had caused them “more than a few problems” before.

City hall needs to put the Christ back in Christmas Editor: As a resident and homeowner in New Westminster, this Christmas was very enjoyable for me and my family.

However, the streets were anything but festive.

The reason I mention this concerns the lack of any signs of “merry Christmas.”

One can only assume the (local business) owners were ignorant of all of us Christians who believe in keeping the Christ in Christmas.

We went to midnight mass at (a) church – in big, bold letters was a sign: “Keep the Christ in Christmas.” Congratulations.

The one place that really made me wonder was city hall. In (previous) years, they always had “merry Christmas” in big, bold letters. This year, missing in action.

Apparently, Mayor Cote and his group of union supporters felt it was no longer needed. They can be secure for a few more years.

Hopefully, the “Progressive party” will replace them. Come on, Christians.

Stewart Thompson, New Westminster

PR result a real pity Editor: If I wanted to hold a referendum to give the myth of choice, but designed it so it would fail, I would hold it soon after the municipal elections when Christmas is on people’s minds.

I would design a complicated referendum, rather than a simple one. Do you want to keep

first past the post or would you support the single transferable vote as recommended by the Citizens Assembly democratically chosen some years ago?

I would let the first-past-the-post supporters frame it as revolutionary and scary rather than the norm. What a pity. We will have to wait several years for another chance.

Cultural divide on display Editor: Re: Disaster averted for guinea pigs, Record, Dec. 27 My husband and I recently returned from South America, and in the countries we visited – Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia – guinea pig is a staple food, particularly for celebrations.

As a tourist, you can find it on menus. And as an adventurous tourist, you can find them in cages or sacks in Indigenous markets. Apparently, they are delicious, and we saw them served roasted on a stick – head, feet and all. I didn’t try one, but only because the high altitude during our travels interfered with my digestion – at least that’s what I tell myself when we have guinea pigs as pets.

During our incredible travels, we had great guides who have university degrees, speak English well and have vast depths of historical, flora, fauna and cultural knowledge. I sent one of our of guides the guinea pig article saying that we thought he would find this quite funny due to our cultural divide. He wrote back and said, “In Ecuador, they will be served with potatoes and boiled eggs the same day they got rescued.”

Pay raise passes for school board trustees Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster school trustees will be paid an extra 1.6 per cent in 2019, but not everyone at the board table is happy about it.

Secretary-treasurer Kim Morris presented trustees with the annual remuneration report at Tuesday night’s operations policy and planning committee meeting. According to school district policy, what trustees are paid is adjusted annually based on Vancouver’s consumer price index.

The adjustments are effective Jan. 1 of every year and do not require board approval.

This year’s adjustment will see trustees paid an ad-

ditional 1.6 per cent, which works out to an extra $30 a month for trustees, $32 for school board vice-chair and $35 for the school board chair.

But trustee Mary Lalji argued that trustees shouldn’t accept the raise at this time.

She proposed that trustees decline the increase this year, but her colleagues did not agree, slamming her for suggesting they pass on the increase.

“I realize as a woman of colour with a remarkable amount of education, I have a lot of privilege at this table. I have enough privilege that, per cent wise, living in Vancouver and being very, very blessed in this city, this doesn’t affect me right now.

I can’t make the decision on

the assumption that everyone at this table carries that same amount of privilege,” trustee Anita Ansari said.

“I would like everyone to recognize their privilege that they carry when they’re making decisions on remuneration policy, looking at it just from the lens (and) position they occupy in the social space.”

Trustee Maya Russell echoed Ansari’s sentiment.

“I do not support digging away at the compensation because really, since the days of Magna Carta, we have been saying that you don’t have to be landed gentry to have a say in decision-making and having reasonable compensation is actually, I think, a really, really important part of that prin-

ciple.”

Trustee Dee Beattie, who is retired, noted that being a trustee was her only job.

The remuneration she receives is not an add-on or top-up like her colleagues, she said.

“It devalues the work we do when we can’t stand up and say that we’re entitled to $50 a month,” she

said (the raise works out to about $30 per month).

“I really find it offensive that this motion has been put forward.”

Lalji said the motion wasn’t meant to devalue the work they do as trustees but rather to show the community the board prioritizes the education of its students.

“I strongly believe that in-

In all, the school district paid more than $25.6 million in 2017/18 to employees who made more than $75,000 plus an additional $28.5 million to staff who earned less than $75,000.

This is a slight increase over the previous year, when the school district spent about $23.8 million and $27.9 million, respectively.

The 2017/18 report also includes what the previous school trustees were paid. Most trustees were paid $22,187 each except for Mark Gifford and Kelly Slade-Kerr, who made $24,512 and $24,507, respectively.The pair were paid slightly more than their counterparts because they were chair and vice-chair.

The number of New Westminster school district employees earning more than $75,000 continues to grow year over year.

Two hundred and seventy seven people were paid more than $75,000 last year, compared to 262 employees the year before, according to last year’s statement of financial information report, which looks at remuneration and expenses paid by the school district between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

Of the 277 employees listed on the report, 40 of them earned more than $100,000.This includes principals John Tyler (New Westminster Secondary), Ken Millard (Lord Kelvin Elementary) and Kathleen Chad (Richard McBride Elementary) and senior district staff like superintendent Karim Hachlaf and

School board approves review of special education Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The NewWestminster school district will soon embark on a comprehensive review of its special education programs and services.

The board of education gave the green light to a proposal presented by trustee Maya Russell at a committee meeting this week.The review will be a full-scale investigation into the district’s special education system, Russell said.

“I am so excited to be putting this forward,” she told fellow trustees. “In NewWestminster, we have great schools, we’ve got great teachers and wonderful staff, and we have exceptional students.We have, I think, a big opportunity to serve our students better in the area of special education.”

Russell said she has heard from parents of students with special needs about concerns they have with programs and services of-

fered to their children. Some experiences have been so bad that families have opted to pull their students from the district altogether.

“I think there is substantive issues, there’s training, there’s quality, there’s evidence, there’s evaluation, and I think underneath all of it there’s, in some cases, really broken relationships between families of students with special needs and schools and a real lack of trust, and that’s not where any of us want it to be.We want to change that,” Russell said.

Trustee Mary Lalji agreed.

“I think that every motion that addresses student need not only deserves, but requires, support from the board,” she said.

While the review was supported unanimously, it won’t get started right away.

Instead, trustees have directed superintendent Karim Hachlaf to put together an implementation plan to help shape the review.

What will the review include? ! Examination of the district’s tiered service delivery model, learning services handbook, policies and administrative procedures ! Gathering and analysis of available data from a wide range of district sources ! Research on promising practices and the evidence base from other jurisdictions ! District-wide consultation plan to learn from parents and caregivers, students, teachers, staff and interested community organizations ! Review of in-service opportunities to support staff development ! Plan for ongoing consultation and engagement

It’ll also include a monetary component outlining what effect the review will have on the 2019/20 budget.

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 8078, 2019

6:00PM

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL:

The City of New Westminster is proposing to restrict the tenure of all housing units on 18 properties to residential rental tenure in perpetuity, using a new provincial rezoning authority that assists local governments in deterring rental evictions.

WHAT IS ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENT NO. 8078, 2019 ABOUT?

The purpose of the amendment is to add site-specific residential rental tenure zoning to 18 properties. Six of the properties are at 214 Agnes Street, 211 Eleventh Street, 514 Thirteenth Street, 723 Twelfth Street, 215 Tenth Street, and 425 Twelfth Street. These buildings are stratified but have always operated as rental buildings and are considered to be part of the City’s existing purpose-built rental housing stock. The amendment will preserve the units in these buildings as rental. The following additional 12 undeveloped properties are owned by the City: 200 Fenton Street, 232 Lawrence Street, 350 Fenton Street, 345 Fenton Street, 358 Fenton Street, 362 Fenton Street, 366 Fenton Street, 370 Fenton Street, 374 Fenton Street, 378 Fenton Street, 382 Fenton Street and 380 Thirteenth Street.

Hope: The Watoto Children’s Choir is coming to New Westminster on its Canadian tour, with a Jan. 19 concert at Connaught Heights Pentecostal Assembly. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Children’s choir travels with a message of hope A choir that tours in support of vulnerable African women and children is coming to New Westminster.

The Watoto Children’s Choir is on tour in support of its new album, WeWill Go, with a six-month crosscountry Canadian journey.

The singers will perform on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 6 p.m. at Connaught Heights Pentecostal Assembly, 2201 Eighth Ave. Watoto is an NGO in Uganda that raises money to support abandoned and orphaned children and vulnerable women in Africa.The choirs, which have been travelling around the world since 1994, are focused on sharing a message of hope through a colourful production that shares the personal stories of women and children in story and song.

Among the young singers is Jackie, an 11-year-old who was abandoned at age four and was found by a Good Samaritan before Wa-

toto became her home and family.

“I heard that Canada is very cold.When I travel on the choir, I want to play in the snow,” she said in a press release. “I dream of becoming a teacher when I grow up, so on tour, I will continue to help my friends

Community Why parents should get on board with kid-free flights Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

There are three parenting woes that top my mostfeared list – lice, vomit and flying on a plane with my kids.

A trifecta of cringe-worthy experiences that most parents dread and most will likely experience.

Kid-free airplane passengers may think they’re the only ones who detest the idea of being seated beside a weeping wee one, but the experience is equally – if not more – terrifying for the parents of those fussy children.

I’m hesitant to bring my three children on an airborne long-haul, worried that a meltdown would make the flight unbearable for the surrounding passengers.The anxiety that this causes parents can be unbearable – anxiety that only occurs as a result of intolerant people who don’t realize that bawling babies are not a direct result of bad parenting.

Last February, a viral video was shared by a passenger on a flight from Germany to New Jersey, showing a “demonic” child having a mega-meltdown mid-flight.

As a result, frustrated onlookers placed complaint calls to the airline, begging for child-free flights.

Complaints such as this one are regularly making headlines, causing a debate surrounding the offerings of airlines. Should child-free flights be offered as an option, or should all passengers have equal access to all flights?

IndiGo, an India-based airline, introduced a childfree Quiet Zone, aimed at creating quieter sections for business travellers who are looking to get work done without the interruption of crying tots. On hearing the news, many parents protested the new zoning options, claiming “intolerance” and “segregation.”

While I don’t think sectioning off the plane into adults-only and familyfriendly seating options would resolve the problem of child-induced noise pollution, I do think that the idea of child-free flights is worth consideration. Offering a few rows to guests who are 12 years or older won’t make a difference when it comes to quieting surroundings, just like offering smoking and smoke-free sections would be counterintuitive.

Noise travels.

But similar to familyfriendly restaurants and adults-only resorts, I see no harm in separating the two based on personal preferences and lifestyle choices.

I once travelled fromVancouver to Florida, forced to

fly with my puking, crying two-year-old son on my lap because our flight was full and the airline was unable to reassign our seats so that we could sit side-by-side.The worst part of the trip wasn’t that my child had suddenly become ill, it was the glares that I received from fellow passengers that made the flight so unbearable. No one was willing to switch seats, and I felt isolated for an incident that was out of my control. Perhaps if those unfriendly onlookers had chosen to fly on an adults-only flight, my experience would have been more pleasant.

I take no offence to people wanting to separate themselves from children and would find it more comforting to travel amongst passengers who have openly opted to travel with families on board.

I think it’s fair for adults to want to travel without the burden of a boisterous brood and would appreciate having an option to choose based on my own needs.

Parents shouldn’t find the flight changes offensive – they should embrace the idea of unifying through a family-friendly flight option, lessening the opportunity for hostility and welcoming a change that could benefit all parties involved.

Arts & Entertainment International Guitar Night returns to Massey Theatre Four top international guitarists are set to make a return to New Westminster.

The International Guitar Night tour is returning to Massey Theatre on Thursday, Jan. 24 for a 7:30 p.m. concert.

Also in the spotlight will be Turkish guitarist Cenk Erdogan, known for his groundbreaking work in fretless guitar.

Stricagnoli was signed

by U.S. label Candyrat Records at age 22, and his debut videos for the label made him an Internet sen-

Samuelito (Samuel Rouesnel) started his classical guitar training at the age of seven at the Conservatoire de Caen in Normandy, France, and his first concert took place on his 16th birthday on the national stage of Caen, broadcast by France

Télévisions.

Erdogan, meanwhile, studied music composition at Istanbul Bilgi University and, in 2008, recorded his first album, WITH. Tickets for International Guitar Night at the Massey are $35 regular, $25 for seniors and students, or $15 for children under 18, available at www.ticketsnw.ca or 604-521-5050.

We’ve rounded up five of the must-see choral concerts that will be coming your way this year. So take note of these dates, and get your tickets soon – before the rest of the world figures out what we choir geeks have known all along: that choral music is in fact the coolest music around.

bask in the sun, take in the dazzling neon lights, and then contemplate in the brilliance of the night sky, all through an evening of song,” says a write-up about the concert.

The co-owned, co-directed seven-member ensemble will feature repertoire from such diverse artists and composers as Rajaton, Electric Light Orchestra, Edward Elgar, Don McLean and Imogen Heap.

chestras, jazz groups and international artists.

They’ll be onstage at Massey Theatre thanks to the efforts of Quayside Voices, a New West-based a cappella quintet that will also perform as an opening act.

Business Dungeons and Dragons fans, this shop is for you Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

If you’ve been watching Stranger Things and are curious about Dungeons and Dragons – or just happen to be interested in fantasy, mystery or “weird” stuff – you may want to make a trip to 12th Street.

Since opening at 630 12th St. about a year ago, Cackling Cactus Curiosities has been selling a variety of “mysterious, haunting or just downright weird” merchandise related to Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering, Pathfinder and more. New West resident Stefan LeBlanc opened the shop last year after returning home from university in Indianapolis, where he double-majored in journalism and critical communications/media studies.

“I just got out of college, got my degrees and came back home and wanted to open up a shop. It’s been my dream for quite a while.

It combines all my interests – Dungeons and Dragons, trading cards, collectibles, interesting things,” he told the Record. “I have had quite a few people stop by and say they really like the atmosphere of my shop.”

Cackling Cactus Curiosities is a place where people who are interested in Dungeons and Dragons, Final

Fantasy, Magic the Gathering, Pathfinder and similar pursuits can find kindred folks – and a nonjudgmental atmosphere.

“It’s a pretty safe haven for those kind of people,” LeBlanc said. “I keep a cozy atmosphere here. A lot of people come by just to talk and chill out.

Along with selling a variety of merchandise, Cackling Cactus Curiosities provides a space where people can enjoy these pastimes.

It has nightly events where people can play Magic the Gathering (Fridays), Dungeons and Dragons (Tuesdays,Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays), Pathfinder (Wednesdays) and Warhammer (Sundays).

“Whether they are veterans to these sorts of things or want to understand what all the hubbub is about, they are more than welcome to stop by, have a chat, take a look around and see if they’re interested in joining one of the events,” LeBlanc said. “Our drop-in D&D, it’s a nice mix of people who

are brand new and people in the neighbourhood who have been playing for years.

We like to keep it pretty casual here.”

Cackling Cactus Curiosities is open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2 to 9 p.m.,Thursdays from 2 to 10 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. People are invited to pop in to take a look around or get more details on special events or the shop on the Cackling Cactus Curiosities page on Facebook.

SHARING THE WARMTH Folks helped by services at the Lookout Society will be warmer this winter thanks to two local Realtors.

Patti Goss and son Wes Goss collected socks for the society at their annual client appreciation Christmas party at Taverna Greka on Dec. 13.They’re grateful to all of the 200 guests who contributed almost 400 pairs of socks.

Well done!

Popular brunch spot set to move in to River Market digs Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Angelina’s Dutch Café is making a move – but it isn’t going far.

The popular breakfast and brunch restaurant is moving from its current home at 960 Quayside Dr. into new digs in River Market at 810 Quayside Dr. It’s moving into the space that was the home ofWild Rice, which closed on Dec. 31.

“We have been bursting at the seams in our current location, so finding a new, larger space so close by in the wonderful River Market is a great move for us,” Eric Missouri, owner of Angelina’s Dutch Café, said in a press release. “After 17 years, as our customer base has grown, we’ve become so busy at our current space and really needed a larger location.This space at River Market is perfect for us and we know our customers will love that it’s directly facing the river.”

Angelina’s, a family-run restaurant that has been op-

erating in NewWestminster since 2002, serves contemporary and traditional Dutch cuisine, including pannekoek and waffles. It will continue to open at 6:30 a.m. daily at its new location.

The plan is for Angelina’s to close in its current location and reopen in River Market the next day – April 1. In addition to expanding itsWestern Europeaninspired menu to include freshly squeezed juices and freshly made soups, Angelina’s is embarking on plans to open for dinner with a

First win of 2019 a boost for Royals Douglas College rallies in win over Langara Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

After two losses opened up the new year, the Douglas College Royals women’s basketball team was looking for a reboot.

They got it, but it didn’t come easy.

Douglas recorded its first win of 2019, rallying to top the Langara College Falcons 6865 to stay apace of the race for second place in the PacWest league.

It all came together thanks to a strong fourth quarter, when the Royals caught fire and rallied on a pair of free throws by firstyear guard Cassandra Brinn.The two from the line came after Langara had staged its own comeback to take a 65-64 advantage with 34 seconds remaining.

Seventeen seconds later, the Falcons’ Eloise Faehndrich was tapped with a foul that put Brinn in the shooter’s spot. Having missed a pair of free throws in the second quarter, the Richmond native redeemed herself and put her team in the lead for good.

“We were down by eight and then up by four in the fourth, but it all came down to the final minute,” noted Douglas coach Steve Beauchamp. “(Brinn) had missed two free throws earlier and a wide open layup, so for her to get another chance to put us back ahead, and then to do it, was pretty nice.”

The Royals spent the first 33 minutes of the game in a deficit, trailing by eight to start the final quarter. And while they charged back and claimed the lead with a spirited run, Langara did its own march in reversing that lead in the game’s final minute.

After Brinn’s two free shots, Malena Mokhovikova added a block and a key rebound, then sank a free throw herself to create a two-point cushion.

Considering the slow start, and a pair of losses the week before that kicked off the second stage of the season, the Royals coach was pleased to see the Royals reply with a win, even if it did cause a few more grey hairs.

“It was certainly one of those games fans enjoy,” said Beauchamp. “We dug ourselves a hole but found a way to keep close.”

Rachel Beauchamp, last year’s PacWest Player of theYear, set the tone with 26 points, including 16 points in the second half, as well as 15 rebounds. Mokhovikova cashed in 15 points, 11 boards and seven blocks, while Brinn finished with seven points. Coming in off the bench was New West’s Devin Strome, chipping in three points, a rebound and a steal.

For Langara, New West native Stephanie Von Riedemann tallied five points and five rebounds.

Getting a win after last week’s sweep at the hands of the Capilano University Blues (6845, 61-53) was crucial in the fight for second place. At 5-4, Douglas is just two points back of the Blues but in a three-way tie for third spot, six points back of the first-place Vancouver Island Mariners.

Turnovers add up in Hyacks loss

NewWest senior boys face string of ranked teams and build case for playoff run Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It was a tale of two cities, but both aiming for similar destinies.

Monday saw the Burnaby South Rebels knock off the New Westminster Hyacks 10091 in senior boys basketball, in a league game where the temperature rose as the game went on.

Looking early like a Burnaby South rout, the Hyacks flashed their own shooting skills to shrink a 20-point deficit to pull within four points before the visitors regained control.

From New West’s perspective, a rash of turnovers and a handful of unconverted layups played a painful role in a tight and energized battle of Burnaby-New West league rivals.

“We’re not bad, but we’re still a ways away,” remarked New West coach Ted Cusick.

“We break the press a little better now.We had a tough time over the holidays with the press against some real tough teams.

Now we’re breaking the press and that’s out of the way, but now we have to play defence.

“I’m not sure how you spell that word.”

While the last comment was a joke, to catch the likes of Burnaby South and Byrne Creek – provincial finalists last year and the kind of programs you need to measure yourself against in preparation for a playoff run – is a serious task.

New West refused to toss in the towel despite trailing 57-39 at halftime. After the Rebels hit the first bucket of the second half, it looked like a long slog.

But the Hyacks clutched up and went on a 20-8 run, then carved another few points off the deficit on back-to-back treys

by Simon Cruz early in the fourth quarter.

With the gap at just four points, the boisterous crowd in the Pearson gym brought the noise. Burnaby South, however, shouted back with nine straight points for a more comfortable buffer, which would hold up the rest of the way. “(New West) came out flying that second half, they really brought it to us,” noted Rebels head coach Mike Bell. “We talked about getting at it, keeping what we established and work-

ing on that, but they took it to us. … (Our) kids kind of struggled because we were playing kids out of positions. It was kind of hard but we’re seniors so we need to be able to handle that.”

Luke Burton led all Hyacks with 22 points, while guard Mo Al-Ghreibawi cashed in 17 points, including 11 in the third quarter. Cruz finished with 14 on the night.

“We really wanted to win this game because we’re in the same district,” said Burton, a Grade 11 forward. “We never like to give up.We’ve been down 20plus before, so we tried to bring the intensity and bring it back.”

While the Rebels parked sixfoot-eight centre Aidan Wilson on the bench for the second half after he reported some soreness to a lingering injury, and were without star forward Sasha Vujisic, who has missed the past seven weeks due to a knee injury, New West had its own holes.

Six-foot-seven Misho Rusov is still recovering from an injury, while Kirk Bothwell, at six-footsix one of the team’s more consistent players, was recuperating from a bruised tailbone suffered at last week’s Terry Fox Legal

Beagle.

It created some tough matchups for New West. But they gave it a valiant try.

“I had to go to man-to-man because their shooters were killing our zone.We came back, and I feel good about coming back.They’re the No. 6 team in the province,” said Cusick.

It’s been a steady diet of ranked opponents for the unranked Hyacks.

They didn’t fare well, at least in the win column, at last week’s Legal Beagle, going 0-3.

However, Cusick said the exercise has really shown that the distance for New West squad to the upper echelon is within reach. “(The Beagle) was good for us.We had a No. 1-ranked team (Lord Tweedsmuir) and lost by 15. In the past five days we’ve played five top-10 teams and only got blown out once.Turnovers, that’s what hurt us.”

New West’s next test comes on Monday, when they visit Burnaby Central in another league test.

Late rally lifts United past ICSF

The New Westminster under-16 boys Royal United were unfazed by a big deficit on Saturday.

They were inspired by it.

Trailing ICSF 3-1 with 20 minutes remaining in their Div. 2 cup playdown contest, New West rallied with three late markers to pull out a dramatic 4-3 win.

Braian Rusi capped the comeback by dribbling past two defenders before plugging the ball in the lower corner.

Making the comeback possible were Nick Saraiva,Tru Jean-Vallis and Luiz Antunes De Souza Neto.Turning in strong defensive games were Ryo Sakai, Rohen Sarai, Mansur Sarvari and Miel Valkenborg.

New Royals make adjustment

Continued from page 26 the Royals had some credentials to protect entering the season. But a nearly complete turnover has meant there is a rejuvenation occurring in the New West campus gym.

“To be honest, I’m pretty pleased with the progress,” said coach Beauchamp. “We only have two returning

players, so that’s 10 players who are new to college ball.

They are experiencing a different game, the physicality and back-to-back schedule that wasn’t a big part of high school game.”

The Royals visit Camosun College in Victoria this weekend for two games.

As that was the team that handed them a disappoint-

ing loss in last year’s provincial semifinals, there is a recent history that could work as motivation. But having just two holdovers from last year’s lineup makes that a stretch, noted Beauchamp.

“There’s still half the season to go, so I think the lessons of the first half will hopefully pay off from here on.”

EMPLOYMENT

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES KAY, Isabel P. February 5, 1924 − January 6, 2019 Eldest daughter of Richard and Doris James, sister to Joan and Betty, Isabel was "Captain of the Green team" at her school and worked as a young woman "on the buses" during the Blitz. Later, she met her husband, Gerry, a Canadian navigator and Squadron Leader of 3 Group Tactical Bombing, at the Hammersmith Palais. When she refused his invitation to dance, Gerry asked her to give him three good reasons why not. Isabel chose to only give him two. They were married in St. Mary’s Church on October 26, 1946, remaining husband and wife for 68 years.

In 1947, Isabel and Gerry returned to Canada and made Burnaby their home. Isabel worked at the Westminster Club and at Cunningham Drugs. On March 1st, 1951, they welcomed their daughter, Deborah.

Isabel liked bowling and tennis, opera and crosswords; she loved fashion, dancing, and handsome crooners. She was also an avid CFL football fan who supported and suffered her BC Lions. Isabel enjoyed returning to England to visit with family, especially Betty, Albert, Val, Jan, Paula, Lauren, and Adam. Isabel will be missed by family; friends; her great−granddaughter, Emma; granddaughter, Elysia (Melissa); as well as Debbie and Jack − who marveled at Isabel’s impromptu "Que Sera Sera" solo and who are forever grateful she insisted Debbie "phone his number one more time".

Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff who took excellent care of Isabel at Burnaby General Hospital’s fifth floor and Palliative Care ward where she passed peacefully in the wee hours, a month shy of her 95th birthday.

'*## &*3$<!" 9!&*/

The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control vegetation, including noxious weeds and invasive plants, on ballast, rights-ofway, station grounds, yards, and around buildings, shops, material storage areas, crossings, and bridges using the principles of integrated pest management. The pest management methods proposed for use include hand removal and cutting, weed trimming, mowing, brush cutters, chainsaws, and the use of pesticides.

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which PMP applies.

The PMP applies to BNSF property within their New Westminster Subdivision, and is located in proximity to the communities of White Rock, Delta, Surrey, Vancouver and New Westminster.

The common name and examples of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl (Navius), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex DF), flumioxazin (Payload), glyphosate (VP 480), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade), metsulfuron methyl (Escort) and triclopyr (Garlon XRT).

Application methods include: wick/wipe on applications, truck mounted shrouded spray boom, back pack/hand held sprayers, power hose and nozzle, squirt bottles and injection tools.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2024.

A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail at: BNSF Railway, 400 Brunette Avenue, New Westminster, BC (contact Grant Nightengale, 604 520 5266) or by contacting the Agent listed above.

“A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant (c/o Art Guite Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above) within 30 days of the publication of this notice.”
