Trustees approve an 11-per-cent pay raise Raise will help offset federal ‘taxation hit’ Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Trustees have approved an 11-per-cent pay increase to help offset possible lost wages thanks to changes in the way elected officials’ remuneration is taxed. The tax changes were announced by the Government of Canada in 2017 and came into effect in Jan. 1, 2019. Before this year, only 67 per cent of an elected official’s remuneration, also called a stipend, was taxed, while the remainder was paid tax-free to recognize possible personal expenses. Now the government is taxing the entire stipend and allowing trustees to claim some expenses as deductions. At a school board meeting last month, some trustees said they were concerned about the possible impact the tax changes would have on their overall take-home pay. Trustee Maya Russell asked staff to return to the board table with information on what other school districts are doing in response to the tax changes. “We need to make the income whole and adjust for this taxation hit, because we’re not looking at an in-

crease; we’re looking at a significant decrease because of this taxation change,” she said at a January meeting. A staff report presented to trustees Tuesday night recommended the 11-percent increase and that this increase be a one-time adjustment, effective Jan. 1. The proposed increase, which would offset the impact on trustee stipend, would range from $154 to $185 per month, or $1,848 to $2,220 per year, but it does not take into account variable factors like a second income from a career, according to the report. The one-time increase will cost the district $17,699.Trustees’ pay will rise from $22,320 to $24,775, the vice-chair’s pay would increase from $23,876 to $26,502, and the chair’s pay would rise from $25,432 to $28,230. The increase was approved unanimously by all trustees present, including Russell, Gurveen Dhaliwal, Danielle Connelly, Mark Gifford, Dee Beattie and Anita Ansari.Trustee Mary Lalji was not present. About 15 other school boards in B.C. have approved some type of pay adjustment to offset the tax change.

City Beat HOUSING

Uncertain future for aging homes

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A 1984 strata building in need of costly repairs could be replaced by a new residential development in downtown New Westminster. Kinnaird Place, a 61-unit strata building at 65 First St., is currently proceeding with a “wind-up” process and is seeking to sell the property for development. The site is next to Albert Crescent Park and is surrounded by a variety of housing forms, including highrises. Planner Mike Watson said Anthem Properties has an option to purchase the property and would like to build a 24-storey apartment building with a two- to sixstorey podium at the base of the tower that contains 60 units. The city’s density bonus regulations support the consideration of a residential highrise with a height of up to 24 storeys and a density of up to 4.0 floor space ratio (FSR). As part of a two-stage preliminary application review, staff presented the city’s land use and planning committee with information about the wind-up and development considerations, including the additional 1.05 FSR density proposed in the podium. Nick Kasidoulis, a director of development with

FUTURE TOWER? Kinnaird Place has fallen on hard times and needs millions of dollars in repairs. Anthem Properties, said the strata has been trying to find a buyer for a couple of years because it will be facing some “significant” maintenance costs over the next two to three years. He said a building condition report states $2-million worth of repairs is required in the building. “We have been working with the strata to find a solution,” he told the committee. “The solution we have come up with for them to be able to come out whole at the end of this or be able

to find some kind of housing security after they sell their units, we have proposed an additional density of 1.05 FSR on the site to be able to give them the value that they want out of their site.” Kasidoulis said a tower is proposed at the north end of the site on Agnes Street, with the building wrapping around the west side of the site with townhomes.The increased density being proposed would be in 60 units on the south and east sides of the property, with one option proposing they be

60 market rental units and another suggesting 40 condo units and 20 affordable housing units. Since 20 to 25 of the units in the strata building are currently rented out to tenants, the developer plans to work with the city to provide those residents with resources to relocate to new homes, including compensation and moving costs. A representative of the Kinnaird Place strata council told the committee that around 86 per cent of the building’s owners support the sale of the building.

“I have had owners in this building already approach me,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I think the building is going through some challenges and some particular maintenance things, and has been a stressful process for the people in the building because it’s been in limbo for a couple of years.” Coun. Mary Trentadue said she’s not against the density being requested, but wondered about the possibility of townhomes being part of the housing in the podium. “I would like to know

how many townhomes would be rental, because we haven’t seen that as yet come forward in a proposal,” she said. “I think that would be a really important amenity, to not only have one- and two-bedroom suites available for rent, but also townhomes. I think we are missing that.” Cote said the density being proposed is consistent with the downtown community plan. Trentadue and Cote supported a staff recommendation that the land use and planning committee support further consideration of the proposed additional density, within the height limit of 24 storeys. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, one of three council members on the committee, said he couldn’t support the recommendation without more information from staff about the wind-up process and the plan for tenants. He said he doesn’t have a high degree of comfort about displacing tenants, having seen what happened to his in-laws when they were in a similar situation and 80 per cent of owners in their strata building wanted to sell. “They signed an agreement to sell,” he said. “Within a couple of months, the real-estate market spiked so high – it actually went up 40 per cent. Before they even got their money, the entire market passed them by.”

CRIME

More pile-driving noise likely on the way

Crime spree nets charges

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Noise and dust could be on the rise when construction is underway on a grain terminal across the river in Surrey. Fraser Grain Terminal has informed some Quayside residents about work that’s starting at 11041 Elevator Rd., which is adjacent to the Fraser Surrey Docks site across the river in Surrey. Beginning Feb. 11, pile driving is beginning on the site. “This work is required to construct the foundations for the terminal,” said a letter to residents. “The first phase of this work will occur for approximately one

week.The second phase is scheduled to commence in late February and will take approximately three weeks to compete.We will provide notifications for any additional pile driving occurring after March 2019.” In addition, a number of other construction activities will be taking place on the site during the next four months, including sheet piling, which “uses vibration to secure a ground-retaining structure.”This work is expected to begin in early February and take about three months. According to Fraser Grain Terminal, the hours of work for construction activities will be consistent with the port authority’s ap-

proved hours of construction, which is from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday (excluding statutory holidays.)

“A temporary increase in noise and dust levels around the project site is anticipated during construction, and our goal is to help minimize

disruption as much as possible by using industry best practices,” said the letter to neighbours. “Neighbours may hear construction noise typically associated with this type of work including sheet piling and pile driving for ground-improvement activities.” In January, the City of New Westminster heard from numerous downtown residents who were concerned about the noise of pile driving and construction activities at a site on the waterfront. Last November, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority approved the construction work, which is expected to be complete in December 2020.

A 50-year-old New Westminster man is facing a laundry list of charges connected to four robberies between Dec. 5, 2018, and Jan. 7, 2019. Police say four small businesses in New Westminster, Coquitlam and Burnaby were robbed by a man who wore a face mask and demanded money. The suspect was arrested on Jan. 29 in New West. He was located at his home and taken into custody with help from the Emergency Response Team, according to a press release.Warren David Bonsell has been charged. – Cayley Dobie

City TRANSPORTATION

Taxi companies look to expand New West ﬂeets Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWestminster isn’t planning to put the brakes on plans to add more taxis, but city councillors believe more wheelchair-accessible vehicles are needed in the city. Council has given three readings to a commercial vehicle amendment bylaw that would permit Royal City Taxi Ltd. and Queen City Taxi Ltd. to increase the number of vehicles in their fleets. Council will give community members a chance to comment on the

proposal, which would result in an increase of 11 taxis, at an opportunity to be heard on Monday, Feb. 25. A staff report says taxi companies wanting to add vehicles must receive approval from the Passenger Transportation Branch and then get support from local government via an amendment to the commercial vehicle bylaw.The addition of nine taxis would mean Royal City Taxi has 71 licensed, while the two additional taxis requested by Queen City Taxi would bring its fleet up to 19. “I don’t think there are

hicles. But more importantly, I don’t think there are enough accessible vehicles.” While he doesn’t want to “reduce the speed at which new vehicles are brought on board,” Johnstone said he’d like the city to write to the Passenger Transportation Branch and the Minister of Transportation to remind them the city previously requested more accessible vehicles. “This was not something we did willy-nilly.This is something that came from our access ability advisory committee, people who do rely on the taxi system,” said Johnstone, who chairs

enough taxi vehicles operating in NewWestminster,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “The wait times are

long. It is often difficult to get a taxi at busy times in NewWestminster, so I don’t think there are enough ve-

Input sought on plan to borrow $30 million New West residents have until March 11 to voice objections to the city’s plan to borrow up to $30 million for electrical infrastructure. On Jan. 28, council gave three readings to the electric utility infrastructure loan authorization bylaw that provides the authori-

ty to borrow up to $30 million, but the bylaw can’t be adopted until the city gets the approval of the electors. That’s why the city has initiated an “alternate approval process” to determine the electors’ views on the proposal and has launched a 30-day period for submit-

ting/receiving elector response forms. According to a staff report, the city may proceed with the loan authorization bylaw, unless at least 10 per cent of the city’s estimated 50,616 electors tell council they don’t want the city to adopt the bylaw.

The city has been developing plans to build a new electrical substation in Queensborough to address the city’s future electricity needs. In 2015, a report recommended that a new substation be built in Queensborough to address growing load demands.

the committee. “People with disabilities do rely on it more than other people, partly because of the unreliability of the alternative transit system we have in the city. I think we are supporting our access ability advisory committee by asking for more accessible taxies.We have already asked; we have not received.” According to the staff report, 13 (21 per cent) of Royal City Taxi’s vehicles and four (24 per cent) of Queen City Taxi’s vehicles are wheelchair-accessible. Based on those numbers, staff recommended council support the application.

6 THURSDAY February 14, 2019 • New Westminster RECORD

Opinion OUR VIEW

Rise in local overdose deaths a sign change needed British Columbia experienced another record year of drug overdose deaths in 2018 with at least one person dying on all but 11 days. Those are the devastating numbers released by the BC Coroners Service.They show that despite all the efforts made to raise awareness about the dangers, too many people are still dying. The death rate is another tragic record number, although it has perhaps

reached a plateau, as the percentage jump is minimal compared with previous years. In 2018, there were 1,489 suspected illicit drug overdose deaths, compared with 1,487 in 2017. In New Westminster, the number of drug overdose deaths jumped to 34 from 25. “The illicit drug supply is unpredictable and unmanageable, and fentanyl is now implicated in 86 per cent of overdose deaths,” BC Cor-

oners Service chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said. But, she stressed, 77 per cent of the deaths are of regular users, which could serve as a warning to people who might want to use drugs recreationally, but are at risk of not getting what they think they’re buying on the street. Lapointe said the illicit drug fatality rate now far exceeds the motor vehicle, suicide and homicide death rates combined.

By the numbers, most deaths involve males using alone in private residences. This is why so much effort has been put into raising awareness about not using when you are alone. In 2018, 71 per cent of those people were aged 30 to 59. Males accounted for 80 per cent of all suspected overdose deaths. So, apart from what’s being currently done, what changes can be made to government policy to save

lives? The province’s chief medical health officer says the numbers indicate the time has arrived to deliver access to regulated opioids to those at risk. Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said the numbers continue to be distressing. She said work to prevent deaths continues, with 140,000 naloxone kits to reverse opioid overdoses distributed and overdose

prevention sites and drugtesting services now available. But it’s not enough, she said.What’s needed is access to a regulated, clean supply of drugs so users can stay alive and possibly move toward treatment and recovery. There is heavy resistance to this idea from the “just say no” crowd. Clearly, that approach isn’t working. It’s time to have a public debate to stop this epidemic.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Indigenous views ignored

As Trans Mountain protests get set to resume, a growing schism is being played out between the environmental protest movement and various First Nations. While non-aboriginal protesters find it easy to take on natural resource companies and various governments, they may find it much tougher to pick a sustained fight with First Nations who support the projects they oppose. While many First Nations oppose the project, more than 30 First Nations actually support it as an economic development vehicle. And First Nations leaders are starting to speak out in favour of other projects, such as the LNG Canada project up north.This is an important development because, up until now, many First Nations have opted not to participate in the public debate on these kinds of projects. The First Nations LNG Alliance is getting more vocal in its support. Its CEO, Karen Ogen-Toews, recently penned an op-ed piece. “I’ve seen our people, first-hand, living in real poverty,” she wrote. “I’ve seen the social issues, the astronomical unemployment rates, the child-welfare cases, the suicides, the addictions, the low levels of education, the poor housing conditions.” Addressing those issues, she pointed out, is the reason why 20 First Nations along the pipeline route support the project. Crystal Smith, the chief councillor of the Haisla First Nations, recently took aim at a First Nations um-

brella organization that has aligned itself with the environmental protesters. “Given the large First Nations support for the Coast Gas link, I am disappointed that the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs is choosing to stoke the flames of the conflict regarding the Wet’suwet’en issue, rather than stand in support of 20 Nations which have signed agreements for the natural gas pipeline,” Smith told a Natural Resources Forum in Prince George. Cheam First Nation leader Ernie Crey, in particular, has been critical of both First Nations and protesters who oppose Trans Mountain. “I respect the grey beards in the Indigenous community but their opposition to the petroleum sector is harming us & will undermine the future of our young folks who want & need jobs,” Crey recently tweeted. “The future belongs to the young, not to those of us who are either retired or near retirement.” And former Haisla councilor Ellis Ross, now a BC Liberal MLA, had this to say on Twitter: “I see that some environmentalists think that to aid in their campaigns against resource projects in B.C., all they need do is scare up a few hereditary chiefs and use them as they would a wreath of garlic to fend off vampires.They best think again.” You can expect this schism between First Nations and the environmental protest movement will continue to widen – not shrink.

Kathy Cherris.The council approved the installation of a total of eight roundabouts on 21st, 22nd and 23rd Streets between Ninth Avenue and Edinburgh Street.The diverters were the first phase of a plan to cut down growing commuter traffic in the neighbourhood. “We’ve had terrible accidents on 21st, and those diverters will certainly cut that down,” said Mayor Betty Toporowski.

NewWest council are a bunch of money-grabbers Editor: Re: New West should compensate rental building owners for lost value, Record, Letters, Feb. 3 I agree with your comments, Dale Darychuk, and would like to piggyback on your thoughts. The city itself may be considered a moneygrabber when it comes to vulnerable populations. What I’m talking about is constantly raising taxes and utility charges. I’ve raised this issue before with members of council and the mayor. They all listen but are not responding to the concerns of seniors who are also property owners. I feel like a broken record but have been taught that persistence is often rewarded, and I will be persistent. Our pensions go up very minimal amounts; in fact, my municipal pension is limited to a two-per-cent annual increase, which may be adjusted if the pension fund investments have performed well. I’m fortunate that last year the fund investments did do well, and I received a whopping 2.1-per-cent increase. But the costof-living increase is beyond that point, and my property taxes and water/sewer/garbage and power bill will go up only five per cent this year, if I’m lucky. Oh yeah, I can get a wee break on the water/ sewer/garbage if I live alone in my property, but if I rent out a portion of it to try to keep my head above water with these city taxes, I don’t qualify. And now, it looks like if I happen to get a bad

tenant, I’m up that proverbial creek without a paddle. I – and I’m sure most property owners who are seniors in this city – have worked very hard and scrimped and saved to have the peace of mind of owning our own home so we won’t be tossed out on the street in our elder years, only to discover the city is adding “refuse” to the proverbial creek. Come on, City of New Westminster, you’ve helped renters, you’ve helped the homeless, you’ve helped marginalized women, you’ve helped countless other groups – we senior property owners need help too. Mary Gagnon, New Westminster

Council showed strength with renoviction rules Editor: I wanted to express my thanks to New Westminster city council for having the strength to pass the new renoviction bylaws. I could feel a collective sigh of relief by renters of the city that someone is finally looking out for renters. Our family was greatly affected by this incredible greed, as my 83-year-old mother was evicted after living in the same building for over 20 years. It severely affected her mental and physical health, and she hasn’t been the same since. I myself was living under constant fear of the same fate. I understand renos have to take place, but you shouldn’t be able to just say “We want to reno, so you’re out.” Mike Smith, New Westminster

City SCHOOLS

Focus on impact of absences, say teachers Stories by Cayley Dobie cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Teachers’ Union wants school trustees to consider the impact of teacher absences on students and staff when analyzing the district’s monthly report on absences and coverage. The report, prepared by Robert Weston, the district’s director of human resources, lists the number of teachers and education assistants who were absent in the previous month and

how many are covered by a teacher on call or substitute. According to the most recent report, which included both November and December, there were 61 enrolling (classroom) teacher absences not filled by a teacher on call in November.That number rose to 67 in December.Those absences are then covered by non-enrolling teachers or school-based administrators. “So what is the impact that has on our staff, and, more importantly, what is

that impact having on our students?” New Westminster Teachers’ Union president EricYoung asked trustees at last month’s school board meeting. Young said trustees should “consider a different number” when looking at the data. He said they should combine the number of enrolling and non-enrolling teacher absences that weren’t covered by a teacher on call. “If you look at November, it’s 142 teaching days that were not covered by a

ing teachers, which include teacher librarians, teacher counsellors and learning support teachers, is a challenge. Only about 23 per cent of non-enrolling teacher absences are covered by a teacher on call each month compared to 86 per cent of enrolling (classroom) teach-

ers, he added. As for education assistants, in November there were 314 absences, with only 53 per cent covered by a substitute. In December, there were 363 absences of education assistants, and 72 per cent of those absences were covered, according to the report.

Pilot project to live stream school board meetings Folks will soon be able to watch the board of education in action from the comfort of their own home. At Tuesday night’s operations policy and planning committee meeting, trustees gave the green light to a plan to live-stream the meetings. It will cost the district an estimated $2,900 to buy the equipment necessary to start broadcasting the meetings, including $900 to purchase a camera and tripod, $1,200 for a microphone and $800 for an HDMI capture card, according to the report. Staff would arrange the camera start (and stop) the broadcast, and the plan is to use the district’s Google Education account to stream the meetings live on itsYouTube channel. This will be a four-month pilot project to gauge the public’s interest in the initiative. If, after four months,

trustees want to make changes to the hardware or software used, that’ll be decided then. If there’s enough interest from the public during the four-month trial period, staff will review the project to determine if any improvements or modifications should be made. If no

one tunes in, the equipment can be used in a school. Staff also recommended a communication plan be established to make sure everyone in the community knows about the live stream and will also develop a way for the public to provide feedback on quality and accessibility.

‘Johnny X’ is ready to rrrrrumble Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal City Defenders will be fighting for the city’s honour against Team USA as part of an actionpacked Rumble Month. Johnny X (a.k.a. Mayor Jonathan Cote) and Mr. India (Rish Koya) will be competing as tag-team partners, the Royal City Defenders, in one of the main events at Royal City Centre on Saturday, March 30. The pre-show is from 4 to 6 p.m., with the main show running from 6 to 8 p.m. “This one is a big, big show,” Koya said. “This is the one I want everyone to know about Royal City Wrestling.We are not a wrestling company, we are a building-the-community company.We are a bringingthe-community-closer-together company.” While Cote has served as a guest referee and as Mr. India’s manager at past Royal City Wrestling events, Koya said the city’s normally mild-mannered mayor will be donning a specially made outfit and wrestling with Mr. India, a former heavyweight champion with All Star Wrestling, when they go up against Team USA – Azeem the Dream (Azeem Mohammed) and the Ideal Reflection (current All Star Wrestling champion Christopher Ryseck) at the big event. “They have been talking smack about New West forever.They have been talking smack about myself and Johnny X,” Koya said of Team USA. “They specifically take shots at our elderly, at the parents of the kids. It’s not cool at all.We are going to shut these guys up come March 30.We will defend the honour of New

West – that is what the Royal City Defenders do.” The evening’s other main event is the 20-person Rumble match, which features wrestlers from British Columbia,Washington State and back east, as well as six brave New Westies who will be attending Learn to Wrestle sessions in preparation for their debuts in the wrestling ring: Liz Murphy, a server at River’s Reach; Jay Schreiber and Andres Markward from Steel & Oak Brewing; Dr. Drew Jamieson, a naturopathic doctor from Polo Health; Paolo Zenone, coordinator at the New WestYouth Centre; and James Marshall of Strongside Conditioning. “They are physically wrestling, performing. First

We will defend the honour of New West time ever, hopefully it’s not the last,” Koya joked. “No, they’ll be fine.They are pretty stoked. It’s performance, but you have to be concerned about safety.We are going to teach them everything ahead of time.” Some youth from the New WestYouth Centre will also be participating in the Learn to Wrestle program during spring break and will be featured in a pre-show event. The wrestling matches are just part of an actionpacked month of events that Royal City Wrestling has planned in March for Rumble Month. “It is going to be pretty intense,” Koya said. “We’ve got the ring inside the mall for the entire month.We

are going to be using it as our stage.We are going to be doing all these different community events.” Planned events include: a New West Has Talent feature, an Ask the Expert series and a What’s Happening in New West segment. The events will take place in the ring in Royal City Centre every Saturday in March from 1 to 2 p.m. “It is going to be run like a variety show.We will do a New West Has Talent segment, then I’ll bring on an expert.We might do a wrestling match.Then we might bring on an event organizer to talk about their cause. A little wrestling and some other surprises during these events,” Koya explained. Royal City Wrestling welcomes suggestions about topics people want to hear about in the Ask the Expert series and performers of all ages who wanting to share a talent. Community members can email ideas to royalcitywrestling604@ gmail.com “The whole idea is I want to create some interaction with the community, bring people closer together and do it in a fun way,” Koya said. “For the first time in Canadian history, we have a mayor that’s actually physically wresting in a match. That’s never happened before. I want to celebrate that. At the same time, let’s take it up a couple of notches and let’s start bringing folks closer together.” If you can’t make it to the mall but want to check out the various events, they are being livestreamed on Facebook Live and Twitch TV. Several local businesses are planning to livestream the Royal City Rumble on March 30, including the Terminal Pub, the Legion

She worked her way through the club system as a comic, being turned away at doors because there was “already another woman on stage.”The owner and producer of Laughter Zone 101 knows how important it is to make space for different voices – and she’s once again proving that with F if for Funny Too, coming to the Anvil Centre on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. “By creating shows featuring comics with diverse backgrounds, lived experiences and perspectives, Bannister is opening the doors to audiences that felt previously unwelcomed, and providing a new platform for some truly incredible comics to perform, sharing their stories and voices with an audience in a way that traditional theatre simply can’t,” says a press release about the event.

Arts & Entertainment DANCE

Coastal festival coming to New West Five-day celebration of Indigenous dance is at Anvil Centre Feb. 20 to 24 Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

It’s never just about dance. For Margaret Grenier, executive and artistic director of the Coastal Dance Festival, the five-day celebration of Indigenous dance has always been very much deeper than simply a chance to publicly perform new work. Grenier, who is of Gitxsan and Cree ancestry, knows how deeply the art of dance is intertwined with all other aspects of Indigenous culture, and she knows how crucial it is to never forget how close some of that culture has come to vanishing. That message is inherent in all the work she does with her company, Dancers of Damelahamid – and it’s shared with all the other Indigenous performers, from across Canada and elsewhere in the world, who take to the stage for the festival. “People respond to all of the artists who are doing the work they’re doing, because most of us know these practices within our generation, the previous generation, have been close to being lost. It’s something that we care for, and we know how easily it could happen again,” she says. “The audience can feel that.They can feel how important that is to the artists.” This year marks the 12th annual festival for Dancers of Damelahamid, a company that was started by Grenier’s parents, Ken and Margaret Harris, in the 1960s. “When I was a young girl, I grew up in Prince Rupert and along the Skeena River area, and my parents led a festival there for about two decades,” Grenier recalls. “At that time for me, it was a huge part of what I experienced and what connected me to the dance practice I grew up in, so I really saw the value in that.” The current festival, formerly known as the Coastal First Na-

tions Dance Festival, began in Vancouver in 2008. At the time, Grenier says, her festival was pretty much the only opportunity to present traditional Indigenous dance; that’s changed greatly in the last three to four years as interest in traditional practice has blossomed. Today, the festival sits in the context of the broader societal conversation around reconciliation and what that means for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. “For me, there are many ways we can engage in that conversation,” Grenier says. “In sharing through the arts, it’s something that resonates at a level that comes from the heart.That’s why, for me, it’s so important.” Each year, the festival makes an effort to draw performers from a variety of locations, not just from B.C. but beyond. Past years have seen performers from such farflung locations as New Zealand, Ecuador, Peru, Australia and Hawaii. This year, Grenier is excited to have on board a number of Montreal-based artists, including singers Émilie Monnet and Nahka Bertrand, and dancer-choreographer Barbara Diabo and daughter Emily Diabo, who will share a tribute to Mohawk ironworkers. Also featured will be theWagana Aboriginal Dancers from Australia’s Blue Mountains, outside of Sydney, led by Jo Clancy. “Jo’s work is really unique and beautiful in that she works specifically with young Indigenous girls who would not otherwise have had an opportunity to practise within their own culture,” Grenier says. Grenier also works hard to ensure that her festival builds a community of performers who return year over year. Squamish-based company Spakwus Slolem will return this year, as will the Flying

TRADITIONAL STORIES: The Dancers of Damelahamid are bringing this year’s Coastal Dance Festival to the Anvil Centre for the first time, Feb. 20 to 24. The festival includes daytime programming for families and children, plus evening gala performances, all celebrating traditional Indigenous dance and music. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Gwitch’in Fiddler, Boyd Benjamin, and singer-songwriter Kevin Barr, a popular duo fromYukon. The Git Hayetsk Dancers are also set to make a return. The inclusion of singers and musicians is a natural extension of the Indigenous dance culture, Grenier notes. “Our dance, our music, our regalia, everything is very much interconnected,” she says. Her own company, too, will take centre stage to perform an excerpt, in full regalia, from their new work, Mînowin – a commission by the National Arts Centre, the Cultch and other theatres that will lead to a national tour this coming year. This year’s festival has a strong focus on female performance, Grenier notes. “It seemed like this year there was a really strong presence of women at the festival, which is something that just worked out.

I think that’s going to be a really beautiful part of this year’s festival,” she said. Grenier is looking forward to introducing all the performers to a new audience this year, in this first-ever appearance in NewWestminster. Previous events have taken place at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, but, with seismic upgrades underway at the museum’s Great Hall, the company needed to find a new home this year. Grenier is thrilled to have made a connection with the Anvil Centre, which she calls an “amazing facility.” She says the theatre is the perfect venue for their ticketed evening events, while the conference centre space is ideal for the weekend afternoon events. Moreover, she noted, the NewWest location will allow them to reach new audiences in outlying areas of the region, for whom the UBC location would have been too far.

She’s hoping that people from all walks of life and of all ages will turn out to take in some of the performances. For Grenier, the experience of staging the festival is at once a public effort and a uniquely personal one; as an artist, she says, it’s impossible to separate her artistic practice from her identity as an Indigenous person. “That identity, for me, is very much founded in this practice, which has connected me to land, which has connected me to language, which has connected me back to various communities’ oral histories,” she says. “There’s something within the practice, it’s so much more than choreography and song composition.What’s being carried in the work that’s being done is the telling of stories, of history, of where these communities are coming from.” See www.damelahamid.ca for all the details.

Arts & Entertainment MASSEY THEATRE

Playwright on hand for reading at gallery The Savage Society is presenting the third in a series of play readings at Massey Theatre. A reading of Little Red Warrior and His Lawyer, by Kevin Loring, is on at the theatre’s Plaskett Gallery on Sunday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m. The play is by Kevin Loring, artistic director of the

Savage Society and artistic director of Indigenous theatre for the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Loring will be on hand for the reading and a talkback after the show. Little RedWarrior and His Lawyer is described as “a satirical fable about power, politics and procrea-

tion.” Little Red, who’s the last remaining member of his tribe, discovers one day that the development firm Smith, Smyth and Goldsmithe has violated his traditional territory. He attacks one of their engineers, gets arrested and is assigned a court-appointed lawyer. Since Red no longer has a

place to stay, the lawyer and his wife invite him to stay with them. “But as they soon find out, when you invite a coyote into the coop, don’t be surprised if he walks away with your chickens,” says a write-up about the play. The cast includes Sam Bob, Dave Deveau, Craig

Biosimilar Medicines:

A Game Changer for Patient Care

Over the past 50 years biologic medicines have revolutionized the treatment and prevention of many disabling and life-threatening diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, inflammatory digestive disorders and cancers. But biologic medicines are also expensive. BC PharmaCare and employer-sponsored benefit plans want to expand their coverage of patients to include more innovative new medicines, but they also need to manage costs.

BIOSIMILARS AVAILABLE IN BC:

BIOSIMILARS ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS A biosimilar biologic drug, or biosimilar, is a drug demonstrated to be highly similar to a biologic drug that was already authorized for sale.2 Health Canada evaluates all the information provided to confirm that the biosimilar and the reference biologic drug are similar and that there are no clinically meaningful differences in safety and efficacy between them. 3 Health Canada ’s rigorous s tandards for authorization mean that patients and health care providers can have the same confidence in the quality, safety and efficacy of a biosimilar as any other biologic drug.4

Benefitting from Biosimilars

Biosimilar Medicines Support Health Care Sustainability and Patient Care Fortunately, an important solution to this challenge has arrived in Canada. Patents on many biologic medicines have expired, and other manufacturers are now able to produce these medicines. These are called biosimilars. Several biosimilars have been reviewed and authorized for sale by Health Canada, and many more submissions for new biosimilars are under review. Biosimilars have been a standard fixture in patient care in Europe for more than a decade, and more than 700 million patient treatment days have been recorded.1 Canadians and British Columbians now have the opportunity to embrace the full benefits of biosimilar medicines.

Patients with chronic diseases typically use a biologic medicine for many years. As such, biosimilars cannot fully contribute to health care sustainability unless patients on existing original biologic medicines transition to biosimilar medicines. Such transitioning is a common practice in Europe as proactive biosimilar policies have been implemented by governments. This has generated a wide body of real-world evidence that provides confidence in the established European practice of transitioning patients from an original biologic drug to a biosimilar.5 Health Canada recommends that such a decision should be made by the treating physician in consultation with the patient and taking into account available clinical evidence and any policies of the relevant jurisdiction.6 In turn, policies adopted by governments and employee-sponsored benefit plans are to be responsibly informed by clinical evidence.

The Bottom Line Patients and clinicians can have confidence in biosimilar medicines. Biosimilars are reviewed and authorized for sale by Health Canada, they are as safe and effective as the corresponding original biologic drug, and can provide tremendous value to British Columbia’s health care system. Transitioning patients from original biologic drugs to new biosimilar medicines is a responsible choice for those who manage drug budgets, and will help to ensure patient access to essential treatments for years to come.

LACROSSE

Pre-draft deal only real splash for ’Bellies Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Without a pick to call their own in the first two rounds, New Westminster Salmonbellies general manager Dan Richardson got to play spectator as his counterparts plucked names at the Western Lacrosse Association’s junior draft last week in Langley. When he did finally get to call a name, the ’Bellies GM was happy to find a player

that could be a good fit – although not for the near future. “We had our eye of a few players, so when we got our pick we were pleased to get (Tanner) Poole,” said Richardson of the 21st selection in the day. “He’s an eastern kid who caught our eye, and when you’re looking to strike in the third round you are looking long-term, not short-term.” A lefthanded shot, Poole was a late ad-

dition to the New West junior lineup last summer. Over five games, the six-foot-tall forward sniped a goal and three assists. Between the lines, he contributed with his speed With his hometown Barrie Lakeshores, Poole counted 17 goals and 97 points during a five-year run before coming west. The first overall pick was Coquitlam junior Christian Del Bianco.The two-time Minto Cup MVP netminder was grabbed

by his hometown team. The first round also saw New West junior Keegan Bell go to Victoria with the sixth pick and Burnaby select defender Graydon Bradley with a pick they acquired from New West in last week’s Justin Salt trade. In the sixth round the ’Bellies grabbed Jake Richardson from Langley, followed by Scott Barker with the 49th pick. Both are considered long shots but with some potential, said New West’s GM.

WRESTLING

Hyacks get a hold of medals at zone meet

Four NewWestminster wrestlers emerge from LowerValleys with gold Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Secondary’s wrestling team gathered momentum heading into this week’s provincial championships in Langley, thanks to a strong result at the Lower Fraser Valleys in Port Moody last week. Behind gold-medal efforts from Daniel Dordevic,Titgol Jok and Nathan Saenz, the Hyacks placed a close second in the boys’ overall standings, just two points

shy of first-place Centennial. The program, which won the boys provincial wrestling title in 2016 and 2017, has built a strong, larger team after a slight down year. Dordevic, a Grade 12 student who picked up a bronze at last year’s provincials, defeated St. Thomas More’s C. Peluso in the heavyweight division. Jok, who primarily played basketball last year while attending Byrne Creek, emerged as the Valley champion in the 84kg divi-

sion, beating STM’s Luke Perizzolo in the final. In the 90kg event, Saenz defeated Riverside’s Jason Son. Adding to New West’s medal tally was Alec Lakusta, who scored silver in the 66kg division, edged only by Heritage Woods’ Devin McCrae. A year ago, Lakusta finished fourth at the provincials. Kavin Giroux placed third in the boys’ 70kg division, as did Forest Xu in the heavyweight competition.

On the girls side, the Hyacks’ Willow Bayea took gold in the 90kg division, as the lone female athlete registered. Serena Ring, meanwhile, picked up silver in the 69kg category, falling to Pinetree’s Emily McLane in the final. Rounding out New West’s results were Andros Dancey, finishing fourth in the 74kg class, Paige Mercier, who placed fourth in the girls’ 64kg division, and Alex Ewin, who placed fifth in the boys 60kg division.

The road map may still have a few blank spots, but the New Westminster Hyacks are aware of what’s ahead as they hunt for one of the few berths to the provincials. Falling to Burnaby South 94-64 on Monday in the Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball league playoff final, New West will need to come better prepared if it hopes to weather the storm at the Lower Mainlands tournament, head coach Ted Cusick said. “(Burnaby South) put it to us.They played well and we didn’t,” noted Cusick. “We started the game off with a dunk, and I thought ‘Well, here we go,’ but Burnaby ran up the next 12 points.” Although they only trailed by six after one quarter and 11 at halftime, the Hyacks had no answers against the Rebels’ two post players, Sasha Vujisic and Aidan Wilson, and were thrown for a loop by some strong three-point shooting. “We struggled against their big guys, and then they lit it up with something like 11 threes,” added Cusick. “I didn’t prepare for that.” Burnaby South cashed in 31 points in the third quarter to run away with it. “Our game plan didn’t come to fruition, unfortunately,” he said. “We came out flat and nervous and just didn’t play well.” Ethan Rivas counted 16 points for New West, while AJ Chol netted 12 points and six rebounds, and Mo AlGhreibawi added 11 points. Both Chol and Rivas were named to the playoff all-star team. Finishing second in the BurnabyNew West league guarantees an opening home game for next Tuesday (Feb. 19), although the seeding for the 12team Lower Mainlands won’t be completed until Sunday.

WINTER GAMES

Royal City duo head to Games New Westminster is sending two athletes to chilly Red Deer for the 2019 Canada Winter Games, which open on Friday. Competition will take place in 21 sports between teams from Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. Over half of Team B.C.’s 251 athletes and coaches bring with them valuable experience from previous B.C.Winter or B.C. Summer Games. A pair of Royal City ringette players – Kristen Hunter and Brooke Valancius – will wear B.C. colours as part of Team B.C. at the competition, which runs until March 1. The city’s Shasta Trampoline Club will be represented by Burnaby’s Declan MacLean. Going as mission staff is Courtney Lott. Team B.C. finished third behind Quebec and Ontario at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George with 88 medals – 21 gold, 34 silver, and 33 bronze. “I can’t tell you how proud I am to lead a group of dedicated athletes, coaches and sport staff to the 2019 Canada Winter Games,” said Team B.C.’s Chef de Mission Jennifer Scott. “We have done all we can to prepare our team. Now it’s their turn to put all that practice into competition. I’m excited to watch our team perform at the Games.” At the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Games, 19 Team B.C. alumni were part of Team Canada.

OBITUARIES A Heartrending Tribute to My Son

ANTONIAS, Tony Born in Port Pirie, South Australia, 12 January 1930. Passed away peacefully at Royal Columbian Hospital on 25 January 2019, listening to his beloved classical music. Loved son of George and Helen Antonias (both deceased) and admired brother of Koula (deceased), Vicki, Thecla, Irene and Bill. Brother-in-law to Andrew (deceased), Jack (deceased), Con and Peter. Uncle and great uncle to their many respective children. Loving lifelong companion to Pat MacPherson. Always keen to hear news from home, Tony never forgot where he came from, and visited regularly through the years to reconnect with his family and friends. He will be sadly missed.

NERADA, Jamieson Lloyd December 16, 1965 – January 8, 2019 My cherished and gentle Jamie has now sadly gone from me, leaving to take his very special place in heaven where his spirit will continue to shine. He has left behind so many kind medical staff from Vancouver General Hospital, Burnaby General Hospital, and Fraser Health Community Respiratory Services. With untiring energy they looked after Jamie’s severe and numerous overlapping autoimmune disorders, with which he struggled so bravely. He had made many friends along the way, including his long time pharmacy staff that looked after his needs with such personal care. In respect to Jamie’s wishes, I want to convey to those who took part in his countless medical visits a special “thank you and God bless” from both Jamie and I, namely: Dr. G. Thauli N.P. L. Christoff Dr. S. Kwan (ICU) Dr. D. Telio Dr. A How Leo (Therapist) Dr. N. Khalil Dr. W. Yu Dr. N. Brunner and team M. Galpin Dr. T. Winstone Kathryn Lawson Dr. M. Lee Lauren Lawson . Dr. G. Sing (IBD) . Throughout his life, Jamie was very kind and thoughtful, considerate by nature, of quiet demeanor and respectful to all. “How much you tried to help me, as sick as you were, and then apologize for failing your small task”. My heart belongs to you forever, dearest “Jame”. You are the most precious treasure that there was ever to be in my life, always my guide and inspiration.

His family extends a special thank you to Tony’s many friends in Canada, and to the nursing staff who showed him such care and compassion. Tony fully embraced his “adopted” home of New Westminster with zest and enthusiasm. His artistic interests played out in his passionate support for and promotion of the arts and cultural community. Some of his favourites included; The Massey Theatre Society, Arts Council of New Westminster, Vagabond Players at the Bernie Legge Theatre, Royal City Musical Theatre, The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, The New Westminster Symphony and The Raymond Burr Society. Honours returned to Tony through receiving the Bernie Legge Cultural Award in 2000, followed by the New Westminster Citizen of the Year in 2006. Tony left his mark on people and places through the medium of radio advertising and in his extensive volunteer work. He was a constant presence at and contributor during New Westminster City Council meetings. Tony’s volunteer work at Royal City Canada Day Celebrations and on Seniors Day was an extension of the same spirit of giving developed through his long career at CKNW radio. His radio colleagues were loved like family. To anyone who automatically whistles the tune when they hear the words; $1.49 day, Woodwards, please give a nod to Tony, the creator of this inspired jingle, which in 1964 won one of “The World’s Best Broadcast Advertising” for the Hollywood Advertising Club. It ran for 35 years and Tony was recently lauded on the 60th anniversary of its creation. Tony was also a proud recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in 2013. It is truly a person’s family and friendships which enrich a life and so Tony was richly blessed. Many have felt his loss deeply, for his presence was unforgettable. Cherished friends and family eased his last days at the hospital, either by physical presence or, if unable to visit, through heartfelt wishes and messages. A celebration of Tony’s life will be held February 23, 2019 at 2pm at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted by either the Massey Theatre Society or the Royal City Musical Theatre. From his family, Vale Tony, always remembered and in our thoughts. Memory eternal.

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.
