PILE DRIVING: A

Noise is (pile) driving them crazy Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Downtown residents are appealing to the city and Bosa Development to put them out of their misery by minimizing noise from pile driving. Bosa Development is working on the Pier West site at 660 Quayside Dr., where 43- and 53-storey highrises will be built. “It’s really quite alarming. I can’t hide anywhere. I am retired

now. Nowhere in my condo can I get away from the noise,” said Carnarvon Street resident Debbie L’Abbee. “I don’t know what the decibel level is, but it just makes you feel very anxious. It’s this pounding. It’s the bang, bang. It’s like torture.” While she understands noise is inevitable from construction sites, L’Abbee hopes Bosa will do what it can to “significantly” reduce the noise. Having lived through pile driv-

ing at the RiverSky construction site in 2016, Columbia Street resident Ann Phelps wrote to city hall before work began at Pier West and asked that low impacts from pile driving be a condition of the city’s approval. Since pile driving started on the site about two weeks ago, she said the noise has been unbearable. “I work from home generally, but not anymore,” she said. “There’s no way you can work from home.”

In a Jan. 8 community update to neighbours, Bosa stated it is aware noise is a concern to residents and businesses in the area and it’s working to minimize disruption as much as possible. “Bosa Development apologizes to its neighbours for the noise caused by impact hammering at 660 Quayside, and we are working to minimize it as much as possible, including doubling construction crews and changing our schedule to complete the work as

quickly as possible,” Dan Diebolt, Bosa Development’s vice-president of development, said in a Jan. 22 statement to the Record. “We also thank the community for its patience during the construction of a residential project that has technical and safety demands rarely undertaken in Metro Vancouver, namely, building a shoring wall under water that will separate the site from the river.” Continued on page 12

Condos eyed for Royal Towers site

Application proposes two large towers that are 36 and 40 storeys high, connected by a six-storey podium Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal Towers Hotel may have been a happening place in its heyday, but a new plan is in play for the prominent site. Built in 1961 as a hotel, the seven-storey building at the corner of Sixth Street and Royal Avenue is currently home to 135 residential units and a private liquor store. In December, the city’s land use and planning committee received a preliminary application from Domus, which is pro-

We want to make sure we are getting the right development application.

posing to build a mixed-use residential, retail and childcare development on the property at 140 Sixth St. “It’s a very large site, centrally located in the city, in very close proximity to downtown New Westminster,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “We do think the time has come for that site to be looked at, but we want to make sure we are getting the right development application that fits that site where it sits and can contribute to the city.” According to a staff report on the preliminary application, the proponent is proposing to build 36-storey and 40-storey towers, which would be connect-

ed by a six-storey podium. Along with residential units, the project would include space for a non-profit child care and 1,340 square metres (14,426 square feet) of commercial space. The preliminary plan includes commercial space fronting on to Royal Avenue and Sixth Street, including a liquor store facing Sixth Street and a restaurant at the corner of Sixth and Royal. It also includes a corner plaza at Sixth and Royal and a pedestrian mews that provides a public pedestrian connection between Sixth and Seventh streets. The overall permitted density on the site is 5.2 floor space ratio (a 7.02 FSR is proposed) and a residential density of 3.0 FSR is permitted (a 6.84 FSR is proposed). In exchange for increased density, the applicant is proposing to provide 40 non-market units, space for child care, 106 rental units (which is 80 per cent of those currently offered on the site) and a to-be-determined voluntary amenity contribution. Cote, one of three council members on the land use and planning committee, told the Record the project has a long way to go before it reaches the point of becoming “a real application” to be considered by city council. He said the proposal received a “mixed reception” at the land use and planning committee meeting, where concerns were raised about the amount of affordable housing being proposed and the height of the towers. “There was a recognition that it is a site that is contemplated to be high-

PIECE OF HISTORY: The Royal Towers was built as a hotel in 1961. rise, but the height was being pushed beyond even the local context of the area,” he said. “The second major issue was the affordable housing component. There was definitely appreciation and support of there being an affordable housing component to the project, but there was a feeling the percentage of units was not high enough in terms of what the city hoped to achieve on that site.” The 40 units of non-market housing being proposed represent 4.3 per cent of the total units proposed for

the project. A staff report states that 71 to 84 affordable housing units would be required to meet a range of 7.5 and 10 per cent. “The city is going through some work on developing some inclusionary zoning policy, and we wanted that development to be more in line with our thinking of that policy, which will likely put us closer to 10 per cent of the units being affordable housing units,” Cote said. In addition to addressing the committee’s concerns about the heights of the two

towers and the number of non-market housing units to be provided in the development, the applicant will need to address a variety of issues raised in the staff report before the project will be considered by the committee and council. If the pre-application inquiry proceeds to a formal application to the City of New Westminster, the proponent would need to submit rezoning and development permit applications to the city. “I definitely think it is a site that will be redevel-

oped,” Cote said. “The Royal Towers has a long history in the community, but the building isn’t what it used to be. From the city’s perspective, the residential component in that building right now has moved to more of a rental and shortterm rental component, and that’s one reason why the city is very eager to make sure that an affordability component is a big part of the new project and that any tenant relocation, when that discussion comes, is certainly a big part of that discussion.”

TRAFFIC

School district to rent 11 parking spots near QE Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district has taken its first step towards alleviating the traffic problems around Queensborough schools. To help clear some of the congestion away from Queen Elizabeth Elementary, the school district will rent 11 parking spac-

es from nearby Roma Hall. Those spots will be available to parents for pickup and drop-off.The move is a short-term solution and will cost about $600 a month, according to secretary-treasurer Kim Morris. It’s expected that parents will be able to use the spots at Roma Hall within the week, Morris noted. But, beyond the next cou-

ple of months, Morris said staff will need direction from trustees about longterm solutions. Morris presented the board with two possible options to ease the troubles along Salter Street.They’ve been in development since November, when trustee Mary Lalji urged fellow trustees to address what she called dangerous traffic

problems in front of Queen Elizabeth and Queensborough Middle schools. The first solution would cost an estimated $120,000 and would see the number of fixed parking stalls at the elementary school drop from 49 to 43 and the number of drop-off stalls increase from five to 14, according to Morris. The second solution

would increase the number of parking stalls from 54 to 65, including 40 fixed stalls and 25 drop-off stalls, and would cost an estimated $170,000. But trustees weren’t prepared to make a decision this week. “My concern is that I’m not quite convinced yet that that’s the right approach. I think the board should per-

haps consider shifting from what seems like a pro-traffic approach to a traffic-calming and pedestrian-safety approach,” trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal said. Other trustees agreed. The board decided to postpone a decision until February, when staff is expected to present more information on the proposed solutions.

City COURT

Man gets 10-year sentence for home invasion

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

One of two men found guilty of a violent home invasion in New Westminster in 2016 was sentenced to 10 years in prison last week. Stephen Smith, 23, of Coquitlam, was handed a decade-long sentence in B.C. Supreme Court on Jan. 18, according to a police press release. It came

more than two years after he and another man forced their way into a home on Queens Avenue. The incident happened on July 6, 2016, in the 400 block of Queens Avenue. One person suffered significant injuries in the attack, but by the time officers arrived at the home, the suspects were gone. New Westminster Police poured considerable re-

sources into the investigation and were able to track down and arrest two men the day after the attack. Smith and Victor James, 25, of Port Coquitlam, were charged with aggravated assault, break-and-enter, unlawful confinement, robbery and possession of property obtained by crime. In May 2018, Smith pled guilty to possession of property obtained by crime and

two counts of attempted fraud, and James also pled guilty to possession of property obtained by crime. They stood trial on the remaining offences and, in June 2018, were found guilty of break-and-enter, aggravated assault, forcible confinement and robbery. James has not been sen-

tenced yet, according to police. “We are pleased with the outcome of this trial and are hopeful that the victim is able to find some closure now that it is over,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release. “We take violent incidents such as this extremely seriously, and we will leave no

stone unturned to ensure that suspects who engage in these types of crimes are held to account before our justice system.We are committed to keeping this city and our citizens safe against those that would seek to do them harm.”

CRIME

Police investigate as bullet casings found at school Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster police are investigating the discovery of bullet casings at Queensborough Middle School. Police say that on Jan. 11, staff reported damage to two exterior doors at the school as well as bullet casings nearby. Police have confirmed the damage appears to be caused by a firearm. It’s believed the damage was discovered when staff returned to the school after winter break on Jan. 7, according to a police press release. “There is no current risk to the public or to students, and the (police department’s) youth resource unit along with the crime suppression team continue to monitor the school both during and after regular hours,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release. “We are currently searching for and reviewing video surveillance, and we are NEW LISTING

working closely with our community and school partners to ensure all students, staff and neighbours are safe.”

“The safety of our students, staff and community members who visit our site is our top priority.The damage to the doors did not occur while school was in session.We will continue with our regular check of the school grounds and building prior to the start of the school day, and continue to provide vigilant supervision outside during nutrition break and lunch blocks. Any further concerns will be reported to the police,” Nasato wrote. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police at 604525-5411.

There is no current risk to the public.

In a statement sent out to parents on Wednesday, Jan. 16, principal Lisa Nasato wrote “there have been no indications of further damage” to the school.

City DEVELOPMENT

Proposal aims to polish Columbia ‘jewel’ Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The owners of the Columbia Theatre are prepared to invest hundreds of thousand of dollars into a feasibility study to assess the possibility of building a hotel and residential tower above the heritage theatre. Tricor Pacific Land and Redic Developments have submitted a pre-application review to the city regarding a proposal to build a 22-storey mixed-use residential and commercial development at 530 Columbia St. In addition to building a tower with 70 to 80 hotel units and 155 residential strata units, the proponent is proposing to retain and restore historic elements in the interior and exterior of the atmospheric-style theatre that opened in 1927. “We are working with a jewel that’s very dusty and has not been properly maintained,” Adel Bellemlih,Tricor’s founder and managing director, recently told the

city’s land use and planning committee. “The whole idea was, let’s make this whole list of community benefits happen through the polishing and rejuvenation of this jewel, and let’s make people appreciate it and let’s make it become again the centrepiece of what used to be a bustling Columbia Street.” The Columbia Theatre is “struggling to stay alive” in its current form, Bellimilih said. “It is not a slam dunk,” he said of the project moving forward. “It is a complex project. It helps that we as a developer all have a very strong technical background.” Bellemilih said the project requires a “uniquely collaborative process” between the city and the developer to ensure it works technically and economically, and meets the community’s objectives. He said his company is willing to invest in a feasibility study, before even submitting a detailed application. Staff sought feedback

PRIME LOCATION: The Columbia is on prime downtown real estate. from the committee on questions such as including a hotel at the site and allowing “significant density” beyond what’s currently permitted. “I am not terribly concerned by the FSR (floor space ratio). I understand why it would be as high as it is – it’s a small site. I think

that the proposal is a very exciting one,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “I think the Columbia Theatre needs this kind of proposal in order to survive.” Along with Trentadue, Mayor Jonathan Cote and Coun. Chuck Puchmayr expressed support for having a hotel at the site, for

considering density beyond what’s available under current zoning and for preserving heritage elements of the Columbia and allowing the community theatre to be a continued use at the site. Britney Quail, a heritage planner with the city, said this site is currently protected by a heritage designation

bylaw for the exterior of the building. Conservation covenants also protect the front façade on Columbia Street and interior elements, including about 40 plaster works and mural features. Quail said a lot of work still has to be done determining what’s possible in this space in terms of restoration. She said staff have always approached heritage revitalization agreements by thinking about the balance of heritage benefits to the community compared to the zoning relaxations provided to the applicants. Committee members also provided staff with some feedback on questions concerning “significant relaxations to parking, loading and servicing” requirements for the project. The project is proposing 80 parking stalls in two levels of above-grade parking and three levels of below-grade parking on Front Street.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Don’t freak out over pay hikes for politicians If there is one issues that riles people up when it comes to politicians, it’s how much money they earn. And we don’t get it. Sure, we understand why people want to know what politicians get paid, but we don’t get why people freak out over pay raises. They are drops in the bucket when it comes to overall government budgets. There are far bigger things to get upset about when it comes to how politicians spend money. How many multi-million-dollar pet

projects have we seen in this province that have become over-budget boondoggles? We mention this because last week two different discussions happened over how much New Westminster politicians get paid. One involved the pay for city council. 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 remuneration 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 mu-

nicipal officer’s allowance starting on Jan. 1, 2019. In Richmond, for example, this elimination prompted the city to make pay adjustments for mayor and council. Other civic leaders are considering pay hikes to cover the tax changes. We imagine the report will suggest the same thing, and we urge people to not freak out if the wages of mayor and council go up. It hardly seems fair for mayor and council to see what could be a dramatic reduction in pay just because the feds made a tax change.

The second pay discussion happened when New West school trustees discussed accepting a 1.6-percent pay raise – which works out to an extra $30 for trustees, $32 for school board vice-chair and $35 a month for the school board chair per month. According to school district policy, what trustees are paid is adjusted annually based on Vancouver’s consumer price index. Trustee Mary Lalji argued trustees shouldn’t receive a raise at this time. That’s an admirable senti-

ment, but considering how little money we’re talking about, it feels more like political grandstanding than good policy. People always talk about how valuable the roles of mayor, councillor and school trustee are. If that work is so important, why do so many taxpayers argue against compensation commensurate with the work? Like we said, there are always things politicians spend money on that are worth getting mad about. Their remuneration should be way down the list.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Knives ready for NDP leader

Byelections at any level are rarely game-changers, but in an unusual twist, we have two such contests underway in this province. The stakes are huge in both races. The federal byelection in Burnaby South may determine the political future of federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, who is running there even though he hails from Ontario.The man he replaced as party leader,Tom Mulcair, has already mused publicly that the “knives” will come out should Singh lose. Singh insists he will remain leader even if he does lose. In a sense, he can’t really say anything different because to do so would look weak.While the riding was won by the NDP in 2015, the margin of victory was fewer than 600 votes so it can hardly be considered a safe seat. Further complicating matters is the sudden emergence of Richard Lee, who won the Burnaby North riding for the BC Liberals in four straight elections. He was named as the new candidate Saturday after the resignation of Karen Wang. Lee is no pushover, obviously. Former Premier Gordon Campbell once jokingly told me “we don’t really know how Richard always wins but given that he does, I’m not going to ask questions.” I still think the odds favour Singh in this battle (being a party leader brings some swagger with voters) but it’s going to be close on Feb. 25. If he loses, we will

see if Mulcair’s talk about knives proves to be true and his leadership becomes threatened. Across the pond in Nanaimo, voters will head to the polls on Jan. 30 to elect a replacement for longtime NDP MLA Leonard Krog, who quit to successfully run for the Nanaimo mayoralty. On paper, this should be a no-brainer win for the NDP.The party has won 11 of the past 12 elections there and Krog’s margin of victory has averaged around 3,300 votes the last four general elections. But byelections are often weird political events.Voter turnout is usually low and, in this province, the sitting government rarely wins byelections (just two of the last 24 of them have gone the government’s way). In any event, an upset victory by the BC Liberals would produce a tie in the provincial legislature: 43 seats each for the B.C. Liberals and the ruling NDP/ Green Party alliance. As I noted in this space a couple of weeks back, such an outcome would not necessarily trigger an immediate election (the Speaker would vote with the government to break any tie on a confidence vote) but it would more than likely lead to one in the spring of 2020. Such are the potentially pivotal outcomes of these two byelections. Given what’s at stake in both of them, perhaps voter turnout will finally be achieve adequate levels.

Councillors argue over condoms A delegation complaining about the distribution of condoms to sex workers in the city ended with two councillors exchanging harsh words about conflicts of interest in September. A resident appeared before council to complain about the Lower Mainland Purpose Society giving out condoms to sex workers. He said Coun. Lynda Fletcher-Gordon was in a conflict of interest because she worked for the society. Fletcher-Gordon rejected the complaint, saying she didn’t profit from her employer handing out the condoms. She then noted the man and Coun. Cal Donnelly had business dealings that could be considered a conflict.

Editor: B.C.’s new climate plan signals an exciting vision for a clean economy. British Columbians can take pride in the fact the CleanBC strategy contains several policies far ahead of the curve in Canada and North America. In just over 10 years, all new homes and buildings will be low carbon. In just over 20 years, all new cars sold will be zero emissions. CleanBC prioritizes innovation and skills upgrading – with dollars to increase capacity to produce renewable fuels in B.C., and provide training so we have the workforce to construct low-carbon buildings and repair electric vehicles. This puts B.C. on a path to getting 75 per cent of the way to our 2030 target for reducing carbon pollution. We still expect to see a plan that demonstrates how we will fully meet B.C.’s climate targets. With other provinces faltering on climate action, B.C.’s climate strategy brings hope for all Canadians concerned about the well-being of their families and communities.” Karen Tam Wu, B.C. director, Pembina Institute

Protect kids from smoke Editor: Re: Most British Columbians back proposed ban on smoking in apartments, Record Opinion, Jan. 17 The recent polling results on British Columbians’ views on smoking clearly show that the

majority of people support a ban on smoking in multi-unit dwellings. This is one can easily conclude due to the widespread understanding that exposure to secondhand smoke poses risks to the non-user. What remains to be discussed is how do we also better protect the health and rights of children living in homes where their parents select to smoke and thereby expose them to serious harm? If we move to protect some children, but not all, then such a ban could we deemed not only unfair but unconstitutional. Pamela McColl

Ask hard questions Editor: Re: Youths urge New West council to support permanent residents’ right to vote, Record online Landed immigrants make up around 14.5 per cent of Vancouver’s population. These are people who pay taxes, are effected by political decisions, can donate to political campaigns and volunteer. They can have kids in school, but not be allowed to vote for school board. To become landed you must go through an expensive process similar to becoming a citizen. A landed immigrant can already do 99 per cent of what a citizen can. I think it’s a good conversation to have, to weigh the potential gains and potential detriments. To determine if there is a good reason why they shouldn’t vote other than “because that’s how we’ve always done it.” It’s the 21st century now, we can ask hard questions. Melissa Roth, Facebook

GOVERNMENT

Man wants action on carts Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A Queensborough resident is appealing to the city to curb wayward shopping buggies from being dumped in the community. Bill Plummer said he’s made reports about shopping buggies being dumped in locations in Queensborough, including ditches, to the city through the SeeClickFix app and calls to the engineering department. “It wasn’t until I accosted the mayor on the street, then I got a response,” he said. “It was quick. I was very happy with that.” But the problem persists, said Plummer, noting it’s not unusual to see a dozen discarded carts in a threeblock section of Boyd Street in Queensborough. He appeared before city council on Jan. 14 to ask the city to consider a “cart containment bylaw” like those in place in some municipalities or to fine retailers whose carts are dumped in the

community. While it’s hard for people to take shopping carts from the Walmart in Royal City Centre, Plummer said it’s not as challenging in Queensborough. “The one on Sixth Street has a cart containment system, so if you take the shopping cart off the property the wheels lock.The one in Queensborough has a system, but it’s not working,”

he told council. “So what happens is people come and then they take carts off the property to go binning, then they go to the bottle depot. They get their money and they leave their carts there.” According to Plummer, many of the carts are dumped along Boyd Street, which has a concrete barrier on one side of the sidewalk and a ditch on the other side. As a result, he said cy-

FOI requests on the rise

clists and pedestrians trying to travel through the area push the carts aside so they can get by – and they end up in the ditch. Mayor Jonathan Cote said abandoned shopping carts are an issue, but particularly in Queensborough. He said there is a cost to the city to have to have staff attend and pick up the carts, and suggested staff could look at “a little bit more aggressive” strategies. “It’s not just a Queensborough issue. It happens in the uptown as well,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “Some of the stores have taken initiatives and put systems on that prevent the cart from travelling great distances; some haven’t.” Puchmayr said the shopping carts are worth $400 to $500 each, but some retailers would rather buy a new one than pick them up when they’re taken off site. Council directed the engineering department to consider policies that could address the issue.

The New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service generates the most Freedom of Information requests from city hall, but a couple of other departments aren’t far behind. Staff recently presented city council with a report on requests under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act for 2017 and 2018. The report showed the city received 87 requests for records under the act in 2018, which was more than the 66 requested in 2017, 65 in 2016 and 72 in 2015. “Requests have increased 24 per cent over the last three years,” said the report. According to the report, the city received 27 requests for records relating to the fire department in 2018, closely followed by engineering and engineering operations at 26. Next up were planning (16), building permits and inspection (14) and bylaw and licensing (12), with other departments trailing far behind: parks and recreation (sev-

en); legislative series (six); finance (four); animal services (four); the mayor’s office (two); administration (two); communications (two); human resources (two); and information technology (one). New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service also topped the list of requests in 2017 with 17, followed by building permits and inspection at 16 and engineering and engineering operations at 14. Planning (eight), animal services (seven), parks and recreation, legislative services and finance (three each) bylaw and licensing, and communications (two each), and administration and the mayor’s office (one each) rounded out the list of requests in 2017. “The requests for the fire department jumped in 2017 and 2018 as applicants are increasingly asking for photographs, notes and audio tapes beyond the incident report,” said the staff report.

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.

City DEVELOPMENT

City has ﬁned Bosa three times for infractions Continued from page 1 After testing a variety of equipment to determine the best and safest way to accomplish the job, Diebolt said Bosa determined the primary method will be vibrator hammers, which don’t generate significant noise, but impact hammers will be required at times. Bosa said impact hammering – and other activity that generates excessive noise – won’t be done outside of regular working hours. In addition to increasing the size of its workforce as a way of completing the work as soon as possible, Bosa is seeking the city’s permission for extended work hours on the site (7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Saturday.) but that request has yet to be considered by the city. According to Bosa, impact hammering will happen about twice a week, and be completed by the end of March. “We are a couple hundred of metres away – it’s 110 decibels at our front window.That’s at 8 o’clock at night,” Phelps said. “There are people with little children that can’t do their homework.There is nurses and police officers and cocktail waiters that are up really late at night that can’t sleep past 7 a.m. Because there’s no way you can sleep in that. No way. I just think they knew this was going to happen and they should have told the community. I personally would have sold last year if I had known this was going to happen.” Emilie Adin, director of development services, said the city has received a variety of complaints about the project, including the level of noise (from pile driv-

derstanding is they have not been able to meet those requirements because of the site challenges and site conditions that they encountered on the site.We are in consultation with them. Our engineering team and other staff are exploring all options with them to make good on the commitments

they have made to the community, but they were voluntary commitments.” Adin said some residents believe other cities are making pile-driving requirements a condition of issuance of development permits, but the city doesn’t have the authority to do that. She said there may be

a possibility of addressing pile-driving concerns as a condition of future rezoning applications, but that wouldn’t apply to this project. “The rezoning was already in place for Pier West so we couldn’t retroactively make it a condition of rezoning,” she said

ing and other construction activities), vibrations from pile driving, light intrusion from the construction site and hours of the work taking place at the site. She said the city investigated complaints that construction was occurring outside of permitted hours (not for pile driving) and has issued Bosa with three fines totalling $1,000. “I have been surprised to hear how challenging the site conditions have been. I have been empathetic of all parties, including the affected residents.We certainly are hopeful to find a way forward that meets the residents’ needs,” Adin told the Record. “We haven’t given up hope but we are finding it technically difficult to re-

solve.” In response to complaints about noise and vibrations from pile driving on downtown development sites, the city approved changes last year that included restricting the use of diesel-impact hammer pile driving equipment over 30,000 foot pounds and reducing the hours that pile driving is allowed on Saturdays (to between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.) “The building bylaw amendments that relate to the type of technology that can be used, those come into effect on March 1, but Bosa did voluntarily make commitments to use other pile driving techniques themselves, even outside of the bylaw requirements process,” Adin said. “My un-

City Families ‘outraged’ over loss of youth worker Cornelia Naylor and Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster and Burnaby families are outraged that youth struggling with addictions in the middle of an opioid overdose crisis are losing an outreach worker who’s forged ties with them for two decades. For about 20 years, Marilyn Benning has worked as a youth addiction outreach worker in New West and Burnaby. She’s spent the last 12 years or so at Fraser Health’sYouth Substance Use Outreach Services program, providing outreach services for many New Westminster families, and she has been a lifesaver for marginalized kids battling serious addiction and mental health issues, according to clients and their families. “This position is invaluable because it does save lives. I know that,” said alternate education teacher Wayne Meadows, who works in the New Westminster school district’s Sigma program. ‘REALIGNING’ Earlier this month, however, Benning’s clients and their families learned her program had been cut and the funding moved to external contractors: Odyssey I run by the Boys and Girls Club in North Burnaby and SHARE Family and Community Services in Coquitlam. Fraser Health officials say the decision was made because the health authority had gotten feedback from the Burnaby Child and Youth Mental Health Services Local Action Committee and school districts

saying the duplication of outreach services at BurnabyYouth Substance Use Outreach Services, Odyssey and SHARE was confusing. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the health authority was “realigning” its resources in New West and Burnaby. “By reallocating funding to Odyssey I, parents, teachers and others now have one point of contact to refer youth to outreach substance use services in Burnaby and New Westminster,” she said. But the New Westminster school district says it was not consulted. In a statement, the district said it was “concerned about the ramifications of the re-alignment for the well-being of children and families.” About 35 people, including parents, clients, an alternate education teacher and a youth employment counsellor appeared in front of the school board’s Jan. 15 operations policy and planning committee, urging the district and board to oppose the move. Meadows, who was at the meeting, said he was “still in shock” after learning Benning’s position was being cut. “It’s an invaluable resource for me personally to help me in my job in dealing with the kids I’m dealing with,” he said. One of Benning’s former clients agreed. “Not only are we here, but our families are here and thriving and we’ve got jobs and we’re living our lives and that’s because of these services, and we believe if we cut these services we don’t know what’s going to happen to the youth of our community, our

it?” Klaver asked. “I don’t know. Do you think something good’s going to happen?” Her fears are not unfounded, according to Kirsty Peterson, a longtime employment counsellor who has worked closely with Benning. Even if a youth addiction outreach worker is hired at Odyssey, a lot of clients have said they’ll refuse to go, according to Peterson. “Youth build relationships with the people they work with.That’s sort of the bottom line of youth counselling,” she told the Record. “The services are important but the relationships that they build and the trust they build is what keeps them engaged.”

YOUTH AT RISK: Parents are concerned about what will happen to youth struggling with addictions after learning about changes to how outreach services are being handled. PHOTO ISTOCK communities,” she told the committee. Fraser Health maintains the services aren’t being cut – the funding is simply being moved to other organizations doing the same work. “Odyssey I is an experienced services provider, already offering outreach substance use services for youth in Burnaby and New Westminster,” Juma said. To ease the transition, she said Fraser Health has extended the transition period till the end of February. “We understand change can be difficult, but we believe this will make it easier for parents, teachers and others to refer youth in need of outreach support,”

Juma said. ‘IT’S NOT THE SAME’ Benning won’t be moving on to Odyssey, however, and Burnaby parent Andrea Klaver told the Record the service Odyssey provides is not the same thing kids have been getting from Benning. “They will tell you that they’re outreach workers because they leave their building sometimes to go for school appointments,” Klaver said. “That’s not the same as someone that’s out in the community all the time building relationships. You can use the same word for it, but it’s not the same.” Benning did not respond to a request for an inter-

view from the Record, but Klaver said the outreach worker was not looking to move on to another job in the health authority. “She doesn’t want to go anywhere. Fraser Health is yanking her job,” she said. Klaver said she is “f***ing outraged” at the health authority’s decision and the impact it will have on kids, including her daughter, who struggles with addiction and had known Benning for about a year before “working up enough courage to even meet with her.” “What will happen to my daughter and all the other kids when Marilyn’s service gets yanked and there’s nothing similar to replace

WARNING Klaver fears the consequences could be dire for her daughter and other youth when Benning leaves. She has started a Facebook page, Fraser Health A&DYouth Services cuts, and signed an online petition aimed at Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Judy Darcy (MLA for New Westminster) and Premier John Horgan. The petition, which had 392 signature by Wednesday, calls on them to re-instate the youth addiction outreach worker positions. Klaver also has a personal message for health officials responsible for the decision and those who could step in to stop it but don’t. “Those kids that die because of your decision, their blood is on your hands,” she said. “If it’s my kid, you better believe I’m going to be knocking on your door with a picture.”

NWSS construction is on time and on budget

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Construction of the new $106.5 million NewWestminster Secondary School is moving along on time and on budget, according to the school district. Project officer Grant Lachmuth, BlackWolf Consulting Inc., and the district’s director of capital projects, Dave Crowe, were at the school board’s operations and policy planning committee meeting last week to update trustees on the replacement project. “Contract expenditures on the project to date are approximately $23.1 million – that contract expenditure is on track with where we should be at this phase of the project,” Lachmuth said. In the past month, crews installed new water, sewer and electrical lines as well as foundation and footing work. Construction on the east wing of the school has also begun, with the structural steel now visible.The shear wall, part of what makes the school seismically

safe, and the elevator shaft have also been installed, reported Lachmuth.

That contract expenditure is on track … “I’m pleased to advise that during the ongoing works on the foundation and footings, the earth

works that we’ve done, there’s been no archeological and no environmental issues or concerns,” he said, referring to concerns about what might be buried on the site. The current school, which opened in 1949, sits on a cemetery that was used between 1860 and 1920 as a potter’s field where bodies of the poor, prisoners, stillborn babies and mentally ill patients fromWoodlands and Essondale – which lat-

er became Riverview – were buried.The land was also used by Chinese, Sikh and First Nations communities to bury their dead. The new school is being built behind the old school, where the Mercer skatepark was.This location was chosen as part of the school district and Ministry of Education’s commitment not to build over any possible bur-

Show explores dance, architecture and being Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Sitting silently in a darkened theatre and watching performers under stage lights: It’s how most of us envision watching a dance performance. MACHiNENOiSY is setting out to change that with the world premiere of its newest work at Anvil Centre, coming to NewWestminster as part of the PuSh Festival Feb. 2 to 7. Fragile Forms will see the audience move to various locations around the Anvil Centre with the dancers, experiencing what’s described as a “360-degree” work created specifically for the building. “I think they’re going to experience a lot of things differently,” says Delia Brett, co-artistic director of the dance company. The work is inspired by the writings of Finnish architect and theorist Juhani Pallasmaa, who explores ideas of architecture and the sensing body: how we experience the spaces we’re in with all of our senses – not just sight – and what impact that has on our experiences and our selves. For Brett and her artistic directing partner, Daelik, exploring that notion meant stepping out of the confines of a black-box theatre and into what Daelik describes as a “messier space.” In many ways, Brett admits, the Anvil Centre is the opposite of the kind of space they initially envisioned working in. “It’s impressive, but at the same time, it’s also very cold and sterile; there’s lots of glass, lots of hard surfaces,” she says, noting Pallasmaa focuses not on architecture that’s designed to impress but on what architecture

can evoke through its more intimate, sensual aspects. Fragile Forms works to find those intimate, sensory experiences in both the Anvil Centre’s very grand spaces and in its smaller, more utilitarian areas as well. “That’s kind of what we’re trying to do, is direct the audiences to these discoveries,” Daelik explains. The audience is separated into two groups of 15, moving simultaneously through the building along different paths. As people follow the performers, Brett and Daelik are hoping they will experience both the idea of performance and the building itself in a different way. “How do we create more meaning from this art for people?” Brett says. “It’s not just about showing them how well we can dance and how well we can move.” She points out that the very act of walking changes the experience for the audience members. “Something happens to you when you walk,” she says. “You’re engaged with that movement. Just their own physical engagement will alter their perspective.” Likewise, seeing things from different angles – standing at the edge of a railing looking down, for instance – changes the performance. Daelik notes the show allows people to see the building in ways they wouldn’t usually experience, likening it to the feeling of being backstage in a theatre. “You feel a little bit more included; you feel you’ve been let in on part of the process,” Brett says. As in a theatre, the technical aspects of the show are integral to the experience – but in a radically different way than they would

be within the confines of a black-box space. For sound, Brett notes, an intercom system offers speakers throughout the building, giving them endless possibilities as the show moves from place to place. Plus there’s the change in ambient sound from the central lobby area – where, from upstairs, you can hear the proverbial pin drop on the main floor – to the more dampened sound in other areas. Lighting, too, is much more complex than in a theatre. “There are ways in which you can feel the effects of light – natural light, fluorescent light – in ways that you can’t get in the theatre,” Brett says, noting it will draw people’s attention to how light and shadow affect their day-to-day lives. “It’s huge and profound, the way

light shapes our experience.” In order to integrate the performance fully into the space, Brett and Daelik chose to create their work with a team, working from the beginning with visual artist Natalie Purschwitz, architectural collaborators Peeroj Thakre and Henning Knoetzele ofVancouver’s ph5 architecture inc., and sound designer Nancy Tam. (Lighting designer Conor Moore joined the process

later.) At each stage, Brett and Daelik took the perceptions and ideas of the other team members to use them in their creation of the physical movement. “The other perspectives are provocative,” Daelik says. “They send you places you may not have considered.” The two are hoping the show will attract a diverse audience: PuSh Festival reg-

ulars, who appreciate the festival’s commitment to work that takes risks; fans of contemporary dance; aficionados of architecture and design – and, perhaps most of all, the broader New Westminster community. Brett hopes the show will help to open up Anvil Centre to a new audience, particularly people who have never entered the building or who may not realize what’s contained beyond street level. “We’re hoping they’ll have a chance, through our show, to experience it in a unique way,” she says, adding the Anvil Centre itself can look so imposing that people may not feel they belong. “Since it’s here to stay, we want to create a little bit more of that sense of welcome.” See an extended story at www.newwestrecord.ca.

Sing with your neighbours If you’re a fan of Choir! Choir! Choir!, then this one’s for you. The first New West Sings! event is coming to River Market on Thursday, Jan. 31. The pop-up choir event is being held in the spirit of Choir! Choir! Choir!, the Toronto phenomenon that started as a weekly drop-in singing event and has since become an international sensation – with major art-

ists dropping by to lead the crowd in singing. New West Sings! will work in a similar way:You RSVP to the event, you find out what songs are being sung (We Built This City and Downtown), and you have a chance to look at posted videos of the songs in advance. On the night of the sing, local artists – the a cappella quintet Quayside Voices – will provide instruction before the crowd

launches into singing. Quayside Voices will also perform. New West Sings! has partnered with River Market and Downtown New Westminster BIA to offer the event, and everyone’s invited. The whole thing is scheduled to take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Search for the New West Sings! event on Facebook for details.

Community Toy drive honours Santa Larry Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Royal City residents rallied around a cause near and dear to the heart of Santa Larry. Larry Tamkin was wellknown to generations of local families, having served as New Westminster’s Santa for 45 years, first at the old Woodward’s department store and then at Royal City Centre. In honour of Tamkin, who passed away on March 4, Royal City Centre held the Santa Larry toy drive from the time Santa arrived at the mall on Nov. 24 until he returned to the North Pole on Dec. 24. Lindsey Zinn, a marketing associate with Strathallen, said the mall has had toy drives in the past before, but believes the latest toy drive had an “overwhelming” response because it was held in honour of Santa Larry.Tamkin’s wife Susan (aka Mrs. Claus) was touched by the response to

the toy drive. “It was a very moving experience,” she said in a statement to the Record. “Many people came to share stories and tears about Santa Larry. I saw small children putting toys in the bin. So moving.” The toys will be dispersed to the pediatric ward at Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster Family Place, the Lower Mainland Purpose Society and St. Barnabas Church. SING AT ST. BARNABAS Community members are invited to sing, break bread and share prayers at a new initiative at St. Barnabas Church. “The Sacred Singing Circle is a gathering open to all people,” said Emilie Smith, parish priest at St. Barnabas. “It will be a chance to connect with our deepest selves, with our circles of community and with the Divine who has no name.” The first circle is taking place on Sunday, Jan. 27 from 1 to 3 p.m. at St.

In memory of Santa Larry: Local residents supported a toy drive in honour of Santa Larry in a big way. The toys will be donated to a number of local groups. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Barnabas Church, 1010 Fifth Ave. Smith, who recently retuned from a Music That Makes Community intensive workshop, and Patti Powell, a well-known community choir director, are leaders of the circle. “Everyone welcome, from everywhere, from any tradition or any place on the journey,” said a notice about the initiative. “No need to ‘know how to sing.’”

New West talent earns Ovation nominations Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster talent has once again come up big in the 2019 OVATION! Awards nominations. The awards celebrate the best musical theatre of 2018 in the region, and Royal City Musical Theatre is once again a major player. Its production of Cabaret, which ran at the Massey Theatre in April, has a slew of nominations, including Outstanding Community Production of a Musical, Outstanding Music Director (James Bryson), Outstanding Direction (Valerie Easton) and Outstanding Choreography (Easton). Christopher David Gauthier picked up a nomination for costume design and Robert Sondergaard for lighting design. The production also has several performance nominations to its credit, led by Lauren Bowler for the Amy Wallis Outstanding Lead Performance in a Musical – Female award and Andrew Cownden for the Denis Simpson Outstanding Lead

Performance in a Musical – Male award. Nominated for their work in Supporting Performance categories are Cheryl Mullen and Damon Calderwood, while Jennifer Lynch earns a nod in the Outstanding Ensemble Member (Female) category. The Kit Kat Girls and Boys are also nominated in the Special Award category (which honours outstanding work that doesn’t fall into a particular category). Ryan McNeill Bolton and Mike Kovac are also nominated in the Special Award category for their fight choreography on multiple productions, including Cabaret (along with Little Miss Glitz, Cinderella, 42nd Street and Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street). Other NewWestminster connections abound in the list of this year’s nominees. Peter Jorgensen is nominated in the always competitive Outstanding Direction category for his work on Gateway Theatre’s It’s a Wonderful Life. That production also earned a host of other production and performance awards, including

Outstanding Professional Production. The Outstanding Choreography category also features local residents Keri Minty for her work on Capilano University’s Anne of Green Gables, and Nicol Spinola for Theatre Under the Stars’ Cinderella. NewWestminster’s ColleenWinton is nominated in the AmyWallis Outstanding Lead Performance – Female (Small Theatre) category for her work with the Snapshots Collective production of Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Two locals also earned Outstanding Newcomer nominations: Amanda Lourenco for her work in Theatre Under the Stars’ Cinderella, and Caleb Lagayan for his performance as Gilbert Blythe in Capilano’s Anne of Green Gables. Winners will be announced at the 15th annual OVATION! Awards ceremony and show, coming Sunday, Jan. 27 to theVancouver Academy of Music. See applausemusicals.com for a full list of nominees.

Community Let’s end the mommy wars It’s time to stop fighting over who has it tougher: stay-at-home or working moms Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

As I write this, I’m mentally running through my must-do list for Monday. Remember the bass clarinet for my oldest daughter’s band practice, write a cheque for her volleyball jersey deposit, and sign the field trip permission forms for her class ski trip. Enrol my son in spring soccer, reschedule his dentist appointment, and return his library books that are nearly past due. Register my youngest for kindergarten, remember to put her favourite dress in the dryer so it’s ready when she wakes up, and pick up some more sandwich meat for school lunches. These are just a few of the things on my list and none have even touched on the running to-do list that I have for my upcoming work week. When it comes to man-

aging the household, the list of menial tasks for parents is endless – working or not. But there seems to be this ongoing desire to differentiate between the status of modern-day moms, with people constantly asking: “Does she work outside the home, or is she a stay-athome mom?” And then passing judgment based on the response, assuming that one role has it harder than the other. This dated debate has dragged on through the decades, and continues to come up in conversations today. In a recent interview, Catherine Reitman (creator, executive producer, writer and star of CBC’s comedy series Workin’ Moms), was asked, “Who has it worse: working moms, or stay-athome moms?” and her answer was spot on. She began by sharing that she has been on both sides and that whether you’re a working or stay-at-home parent, the juggling act re-

Recycling questions? BC RECYCLING HOTLINE 604-732-9253 1-800-667-4321

mains the same. She explains, “As a stayat-home mom, I just never felt present with my child, I always felt this guilt and longing for selfish development.” I know firsthand that for a stay-at-home mom, it can be easy to lose yourself in your familial responsibilities. Reitman explains, “there

This dated debate has dragged on … has to be something that is strictly mine, where I can exercise my identity” – a key to surviving the selfless act of devoting your time entirely to your children. She continues, “As a working mom, it’s also impossible because you’re constantly longing for your child, you’re feeling guilty about where you are and

what you’re missing.” On her show, Workin’ Moms, viewers often see Reitman showing the darker side of returning to the corporate world after maternity leave, pumping in the restroom and missing out on milestones while trying to make her mark in the working world. Reitman concludes, “The landscape is an impossible one, and I have a lot of compassion for both sides.” Whether working, or stayat-home mom, parent to one child, or mom of five, the question should never be which role is tougher, or who has it worse. Instead, we should commend her on how she manages to keep it all together. Show compassion, don’t question a woman’s worth. Regardless of parental status, the juggle is real.

TRACK AND FIELD

Schultz makes surprise jump to Georgia

NewWestminster heptathlete transfers from Kansas State to red-shirt with NCAA reigning champions

There will be no new Nina Schultz records set this year – at least on the NCAA circuit. New Westminster’s and Canada’s rising track star made a surprising move last week when she transferred to the University of Georgia, midway through her third year at Kansas State. It means Schultz, 19, will redshirt this current season and won’t compete on the Div. 1 university

circuit until 2020. Georgia’s women’s track and field team is the current reigning NCAA national champion. It was part of a two-athlete announcement for the Bulldogs, who received the commitment of javelin thrower Ahmed Magour also last week. “Nina and Ahmed are great additions to our team and we look forward to having them perform

at a high level with us during the 2020 season,” Georgia head coach Petros Kyprianou said in a press release. “Both are world-class athletes with personal records that could potentially help our teams win again.They both are very serious student-athletes who care about winning NCAA titles and being on Olympic teams.” In her time at Kansas, the New West Spartans Track and Field

Club product delivered the mail in her major events, finishing second in the pentathlon at the 2018 NCAA Indoor championships, and placed seventh in the outdoor nationals in the heptathlon. As a freshman, she finished second in the heptathlon at the 2017 NCAA outdoor meet, after debuting at the 2017 NCAA indoor nationals with the third-best score for pentathlon. A four-time All-Ameri-

can, Schultz established new KSU marks in both events. She set multiple personal bests that put her No. 7 among all-time performers with 6,133 points in the heptathlon and 4,502 points in the pentathlon. Schultz also posted a high jump clearance of 1.85 metre and distance of 6.39m in the long jump. The Big-12 Outstanding Continued on page 25

CURLING

Rink ramps up for playdowns Royal City foursome eager to test their limits against older rivals

Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

For the defending provincial boys’ under-18 curling champions, the more things stay the same, the more they change. The components of the team that’s based out of the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster are the same, but how they’re used is different.

We have a checkyour-ego-at-thedoor approach. Hayato Sato has slid into the leadership role, while former skip Dawson Ballard is now the second. Joshua Miki has moved up to third and Burnaby’s Troy Chong remains as the lead. The squad is still coached by Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame member and Miki’s father, Bryan. Sato said coming off an otherwise successful season that somewhat fizzled when the team finished ninth at the Canadian U18 championships in Saint Andrews, N.B., last April, the members wanted to “try something new” for this season. The revised mix seems to be paying off. Team Sato recently finished third at the B.C. junior curling championships in Vernon two weeks ago, against older, more experienced curlers. In fact, they narrowly missed qualifying for the

final when they fell in the semifinal to Erik Colwell’s Vernon rink in an extra end, 11-10, after they had rallied to tie it in the 10th end. The squad will soon begin regional playdowns leading to this year’s U18 provincial championships in Juan de Fuca, and at the end of February they’ll be representing British Columbia at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer. Sato said now that everyone on the team has settled into their new roles, they’re hitting their stride right when it matters most. But, he added, changing the mix wasn’t just about results this season. “We’re trying to become players who can do a bit of everything for our transition into men’s curling.” For Sato and Ballard, who are both 18 years old, that elevation to junior men is imminent, while Miki and Chong are both 17. Ballard, who received last year’s Gordon Hooey Memorial scholarship award, is a volunteer coach at RCCC. Sato said his leadership style relies on communication while his playing style is conservative, awaiting opportunities to pounce on opponents’ mistakes. Miki said those qualities have resonated with the team. “We have a check-yourego-at-the-door approach,” he said. “We’re all on board.” Sato said talking out shots and strategies amongst the team as a game unfolds allows everyone to concentrate on curling’s fine

MAKING A POINT: Third Joshua Miki and skip Hayato Sato make up half of the Royal City Curling Club team that will represent B.C. at the Canada Winter Games in Red Deer next month. PHOTO MARIO BARTEL details, like how the rock is rotating on turns or whether there’s any inconsistencies in the ice that can affect the trajectory of a shot, which can make or break a result. “We all just do it as a group,” he said. Miki said that’s helped keep the team together as a unit. And it’s helped them weather disappointments like last spring’s nationals or their heartbreaking loss in Vernon. In fact, Sato said, those setbacks will help them be better prepared this year. “Knowing what it’s like to be at a national competition will really help us play the best,” he said.

Numbers no impediment Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The team isn’t as large as it was in their two-year run as B.C. champions. But New Westminster Secondary’s wrestling squad has some solid potential heading into the last few meets before the B.C. qualifiers, head coach Gord Sturrock said. The roster is at about a dozen this year, down from last year’s 15 who made a valiant attempt to three-peat as B.C. senior boys champions. This year’s lineup includes Dan Dordevic, who won bronze last year and finished third at nationals (under-19). “The team is pretty young and numbers are kind of low, but there’s some good po-

tential,” noted Sturrock, who has been aided by NWSS alums Connor Pattison and Hossein Shidfar this season. This year’s team has seen three girls join the program, including Willow Beyea, a competitive rugby player who has picked up the grappling art quickly. At the Burnaby Central Wildcat Invite last week, she finished third in her 90-kilogram division. Dordevic won his heavyweight division, while teammate Forrest Xu, a Grade 10 newcomer, placed third. Placing second in their respective divisions were Kevin Giroux, in 70kg, and Titgol Jok, in 78kg. Andros Dancey finished fourth in the 70kg competition.

MINOR HOCKEY

Perfect run for Royals

In the season where it’s better to give than receive, the New Westminster midget A Royals made like Grinches. The hockey squad captured back-to-back tourney titles, facing off against larger associations en route to the hardware at the Richmond International and Coquitlam NewYear’s tournaments. Competing in the popular, 73-team Richmond event, New West rolled undefeated through six games to claim the Tier 3 title, edging Peninsula 2-1 in the final. Josh Domingues and Brennan Ryan supplied the goals, while netminder Matthew Forero stopped all but one shot. The team’s run saw

them outscore the opposition 32-8, with Ash Rutherford tallying seven goals and Domingues six during the run. Sukhdeep Sumra chipped in a pair of goals and five helpers. Both Daniel Jacinto and Forero would collect a shutout. The defence was a major reason the team kept the opposition in check most games. Just a few days later, New West jumped back into the fray and launched their run at the Coquitlam tourney. They racked up a 5-4 win over Sooke to start the tourney, followed by wins over North Van, Langley and West Van to draw into the semifinal against Cowichan Valley. Forero backstopped the team through some tense

moments in a 2-2 game that went to a shootout. With their netminder stopping three straight shots, the Royals advanced on Noel Wong’s goal. The final pitted New West against Sooke, and the rematch proved to be just as hard-fought as their previous encounter.Wong gave the Royals a 1-0 lead, and Liam Bates locked it up by cashing in a breakaway with two minutes left to play to seal a 2-0 win and the tournament title. As well-rounded an effort as it was, the win at the Coquitlam tourney was aided by a couple of key call-ups, bantam centre Ben Nottingham, defenceman Logan Earle,Teo Petkovic and Olexander Slupskyy.

Lorraine Reinhardt, VCC

Born July 17, 1950 Yorkton, Saskatchewan At Rest January 12, 2019 Delta, British Columbia It is with profound sadness and sorrow that we announce the passing of Pat Jacques. Pat passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Saturday, January 12, 2019 in Surrey Memorial Hospital after an 11 day battle due to complications from pneumonia. Pat was born on July 17, 1950 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan to her parents John and Anne Shuparsky. She was the oldest of three children. Pat and her sisters Isabelle and Doreen grew up on a farm in Wroxton, Saskatchewan before moving to Regina in the early 1960s. In 1965 Pat started attending Balfour Tech High School in Regina. It was there, in 1967 that she met her husband Ron. They dated and were married, October 10, 1970. In 1972, they moved to Prince Albert, which is where their oldest son Ian was born in 1975. In 1977, the family moved to Saskatoon. In 1980, the couple was blessed with twins, Monique and Kevin. They lived in Saskatoon for 11 years before moving to Vancouver in 1988. In the Vancouver area, Pat worked as a bank teller, and as a sales representative for an office equipment company, before joining the Coquitlam NOW newspaper in the early 1990s. Pat had a rewarding and distinguished career with the NOW newspaper as an award-winning sales associate. She retired after 20-plus years with the newspaper. Throughout the years, Pat and Ron travelled extensively seeing the world with their children, but primarily together on 23 cruises. Pat also travelled with Ron sharing in his passion for sports, primarily with his love of coaching and playing competitive softball. Pat’s other passions included cooking and spending time with her family and friends. She and Ron loved to host and entertain and their gatherings were full of great food, great wine, laughs and great experiences. Pat is loved and cherished by hundreds of friends. She is survived by her husband Ron of 48 years, son Ian, son Kevin (Inna), daughter Monique (D’Arcy), grandchildren Payton and Declan, sisters Isabelle (Alan), Doreen (Lorne), along with several nieces, nephews, cousins and aunts. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Surrey Memorial Hospital for their tireless efforts in Pat’s health battle. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Arthritis Society at: https://arthritis.ca

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
