City Beat DEVELOPMENT

Brewery District eyes swap in zoning

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Wesgroup Properties has been unable to find a “unicorn” tenant, so it’s proposing changes to the Brewery District. The city’s land use and planning committee recently considered a proposed zoning bylaw amendment that would convert 200,000 square feet of health-services density to “omnibus zoning” density in Building 8 in the Brewery District. In exchange,Wesgroup would make Building 5, which is under construction and near completion, 100-per-cent secured market rental and would make Building 7, a proposed 32-storey mixeduse tower, into 100-per-cent secured market rental and include 50,000 square feet of health-related commercial floor space. Ryan Thé,Wesgroup’s vice-president of development, said the ability to convert 200,000 square feet of Building 8’s density, or twothirds of the building, to omnibus zoning would allow for a “much broader range of uses” so the project can better respond to market demands. “I truly think the proposal has a benefit for everyone,” he recently told the committee. “There’s no net new density being proposed.The density is staying within the building site as it’s zoned and is simply transferring from one land-use category to another. It creates housing options.” Thé said Wesgroup is “highly motivated” to find some commercial tenants

MIXED USE: The Brewery District is a mix of housing, commercial, offices and more in one neighbourhood. for Building 8, regardless of the zoning that’s in place. “We’d love to see this building fully tenanted with health services, health uses. It’s been over a decade looking for that unicorn tenant,” he said. “TransLink was one of them.We feel very, very fortunate that we were able to land them.” Thé said the proposal would help Wesgroup complete the eighth and final building at the Brewery District. “We believe it is near impossible to enable this development with the current zoning, and we ask that council and staff consider this proposal as far as a way of enabling this – effectively unlocking this site,” he said. The Brewery District is a master-planned, mixed-use

development on the former Labatt Brewery site at East Columbia Street and Brunette Avenue. “Buildings 1, 2 and 3 are completed.What that’s brought to the city is

To me, omnibus means it could be anything.

220,000 square feet of general office, with TransLink’s headquarters and the transit police and a small amount of strata offices, and roughly 80,000 square feet of health-care-related uses, including the Health Sciences Association building, quite a

small amount of the Fraser Health Authority and some supporting services, the majority doctors’ and dentists’ offices,”Thé said. “In terms of residential, Building 4 is complete – 114 strata units. Buildings 5 and 6 are under construction. Under permit review is Building 7 – currently slated for 225 strata units.” Building 8 was originally zoned to provide 300,000 square feet of health services space, which could include general offices.Wesgroup has worked with Fraser Health Authority and other companies regarding potential commercial opportunities in the building but has had no success. “Demand really just continues to be underwhelming,”Thé said.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he’s concerned about replacing the health-services density with the omnibus zoning because he fears Wesgroup will go with whatever brings in the highest return for the developer and not what fits best with the city’s long-term vision for the area. “I think it is too early in the game to write off the health-care office components of that, especially with the fact we are going to almost be doubling the work force on that site,” he said. “We are going to be bringing in key health-care components into that site with the expansion of the hospital site. I think this is premature, for me.To me, omnibus means it could be anything.”

Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services, said staff believes what’s being requested is an “overall win” for the community.While there is a potential negative impact in relation to the city’s commercial and economic development priorities, she said the proposal would benefit the community by creating two new market rental buildings at a time when a housing crisis exists. Coun. Mary Trentadue said she’s willing to be flexible but doesn’t want to lose commercial opportunities at the site because she thinks it will be required in the area. “I would be inclined to support the omnibus – I am happy to broaden the use so that it’s not just health services, as long as it’s commercial. I am concerned about having the omnibus turned into residential because I think that is not what was intended originally,” she said. “I am happy to see the secured market rental come into play in a bigger way here.” Mayor Jonathan Cote noted there have been some changes since the Brewery District was approved. At that time, Cote said, it anticipated that Royal Columbian Hospital’s expansion would likely take place on this site, but that is not happening and all of its expansion needs are happening on the hospital site. He said that’s “a changing dynamic” the city needs to consider. The land use and planning committee referred the issue back to staff.

Free pad and tampon dispensers approved for schools Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster made history last week by becoming the first school district in the province to fund free pad and tampon dispensers at all its schools. Starting in September, there will be at least one coin-free dispenser on every floor of every school.The dispensers will be installed in girls’ washrooms and in all universal washrooms. The set-up cost is estimated at about $9,784, which includes the cost of

purchasing 30 coin-free dispensers and enough pads and tampons to stock them, according to a report presented to trustees at the district’s recent operations policy and planning committee meeting. “The important thing for us was that the units can be moved as we’re building new schools,” secretarytreasurer Kim Morris said. The dispensers that will be installed at New Westminster Secondary and Richard McBride Elementary will eventually be moved to the new schools

when they open. The cost to stock the dispensers is about $7,000 per year, depending on use, Morris noted. Trustees said given the reasonable cost to install and stock the dispensers, they were happy to approve purchase and installation.Trustees also asked that staff reach out to the school principals and parent advisory councils to make there’s some communication between school administration, parents and students. The decision comes

one month after Vancouver mom and Douglas College teacher Selina Tribe appeared before the school board to ask trustees to support installation of free pad and tampon dispensers in school bathrooms. Tribe said the current practice at most schools expects girls to have their own period products and if they don’t, they have to seek out a counsellor, nurse or school administrator to get a pad or tampon. “You’re asking girls, who are bleeding, to go walking down stairs, across the

school to try and find somebody,”Tribe said. “Then they have to go trotting back up to the bathroom, clean themselves up and deal with this. I think it’s outrageous, frankly. When you consider that the boys go into the bathroom and they have ... all their bodily needs covered, but the case is not the same for the girls.” HOW MANY DISPENSERS WILL EACH SCHOOL HAVE? !

Opinion OUR VIEW

Hydro meddling by BC Liberals is really costing us

The BC Liberals are currently not in government, so it’s weird how the party could have had such a bad five-day stretch last week. Normally it’s the party in power that suffers political misfortunes. The party took a hit on Feb. 12 when one of its MLAs, Linda Reid, was replaced as Assistant Deputy Speaker of the B.C. legislature by Coquitlam-Burke Mountain’s Joan Isaacs. Reid’s role as Assistant Deputy Speaker became contentious after a report was released by Speak-

er Darryl Plecas in January.The report looked into spending by two high-level legislative employees and raised questions about expense reports and a missing investigation into a retirement allowance that allegedly happened under Reid’s watch. Reid’s own travel expenses were also brought into question. Reid has denied any wrongdoing. Things got worse on Valentine’s Day when a report commissioned by the British Columbia government said BC Hydro custom-

ers will pay $16 billion over the next two decades because the Crown utility was pressured to sign long-term contracts with independent power producers – including those that had donated heavily to the BC Liberals. Minister of Energy Michelle Mungall commissioned the report, which blames the previous BC Liberal government for creating the problem. The report says the Liberals manufactured an urgent need for electricity but restricted BC Hydro from producing it, forcing

the utility to turn to private producers and sign lengthy contracts at inflated prices. Former B.C.Treasury Board director Ken Davidson authored the study, which estimates the cost to the average residential BC Hydro customer will amount to about $4,000 over the next 20 years, or about $200 per year. Davidson recommends all future energy purchases be made at market rates and finds BC Hydro must be allowed to meet supply obligations through a reasonable level of market

trading, rather than by generating all electricity within the province. Mungall says he also concludes the long-term deals forced upon BC Hydro were mainly with run-ofriver producers, whose power is primarily available during spring run-off, when B.C. doesn’t require it. “B.C. didn’t benefit. BC Hydro customers didn’t benefit. A small number of well-placed independent power producers benefited, and customers were stuck with a 40-year payment plan,” Mungall said.

Meddling with Crown corporations is nothing new to B.C. politics. BC Hydro and ICBC have been used as political pawns for decades – including when the BC NDP was in government. It’s time for the meddling to stop. Ratepayers are fed up with getting gouged with higher rates due to mismanagement stemming from political gamesmanship – such as pilfering revenues in order to balance the provincial budget.

Baby quarantined for his birthday Stefania Seccia is fired up. Like, I’ve never seen her this fired up before and I used to work with her in a newsroom – a place where people are constantly fired up. But this is her son, Max, we’re talking about. Max turned one year old on Tuesday, and instead of having a party with all of their friends and family, this Burnaby family has had to quarantine him – because some parents didn’t get the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine for their own children. Stefania received a call from a nurse on Friday telling her that Max was exposed to measles during a Feb. 1 visit to BC Children’s Hospital. You’ve likely heard about the recent measles outbreak inVancouver. Cases have been linked to three unvaccinated children who had travelled toVietnam. Baby Max is especially vulnerable because he was born premature and spent a month in an NICU.This means if he contracts the measles, then he is at a high risk of developing things like encephalitis, seizures or pneumonia. His hearing could also be permanently damaged.The measles can also be fatal for people in this high-risk category. So, yeah, Stefania is fired up and speaking out so other parents won’t make the same mistake of not vaccinating their children. “We were really looking forward to Max’s birthday and doing things a normal family does,” said Stefania, who says the days are agonizing watching for

symptoms until he has finished the quarantine period. “We’re going to spend his birthday worrying.We have to watch and wait. It’s infuriating. In this day and age, we shouldn’t have to do this.” It’s all so unnecessary.We used to lionize the medical pioneers who invented these vaccines – now the antivaxxer movement is defecating on their memories. Stefania says people trust celebrities more than scientists. The father of the three unvaccinated kids said in an interview that when his children were younger, he was worried vaccines could cause autism.That is baloney, of course – it’s been thoroughly debunked. But facts don’t seem to matter in a time when people are trying to boost their egos by thinking they’re smarter than scientists. “I associate anti-vaxxers with flat-Earthers and climate-change deniers,” Stefania said. “So I’m willing to speak out to counter them.” Stefania is hoping B.C. Premier John Horgan will hear her family’s story and change policy, with some sort of mandatory vaccinations. Ontario, New Brunswick and Manitoba make it mandatory for attending public schools. I’ve met Max. He’s adorable and I will be worrying along with his parents. This has got to stop. People need to wake up. Government needs to make some changes. This is madness.

Riders trapped by power lines Five passengers were trapped for two hours in January after two 12,000-volt power lines dropped onto the roof of the transit bus they were on.The lines fell on the bus after a three-ton truck backed into a power pole on Begbie Street, causing the transformer to short out and explode, according to police. “There were two loud explosions, sparks were flying and the sky lit up,” said Brent Hawthorne, who had been waiting for a bus with about 14 others when the crash occurred. He said the people waiting for the bus hit the ground when the transformer exploded.The incident also shut down SkyTrain for two hours and knocked out power in the area.

Speculation tax is the worst form of taxation Editor: An open letter to New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy: As my representative in the British Columbia legislature, I would appreciate a response from you in regards to some issues in regards to the speculation and vacancy tax. We received our declare now notice and immediately felt “presumed guilty” until such a time as we file the notice and then being pronounced “innocent” once exempted from the speculation tax. Why was the required information not obtained from the Land Titles Office as a direct source to the government of property ownership? Why was the information not obtained from the BC Assessment Authority as they also have the information of property ownership? What happens in the event that one residence is in the name of one person and another residence is in the name of the partner/wife/husband/ child? Would this avoid the speculation tax? Why was Whistler granted immunity from the speculation tax? (Whistler has been known for a long time as an area where contractor workers and others cannot find lodging and at times some workers are living in their vehicles.) What is the difference between the Whistler exemption and other resort areas that are subject to the speculation tax? Who would rent a property for a six-month period and then move out, having to find another location for another six-month period as sub-

jected to by the speculation tax guidelines? Minister Darcy, this is the worst form of taxation that I have ever seen, and I have worked in the tax world for 35 years. Frank Benoit, New Westminster

Land value capture policy is worth exploring Editor: Re: New Westminster aims to protect rental housing on 18 sites, Record, Jan. 29 Dale Darychuk recently penned a letter for the Record arguing that ... affected rental building owners should be compensated for the resultant devaluing of their property. While this point certainly merits consideration, such compensation would only be fair and just if it were to work both ways. If we hold that property owners should be compensated for losses due to zoning amendments, we should also hold that property owners must likewise compensate the city for any gains in the speculative value of their property that result from zoning changes (or public infrastructure projects). A model of this latter idea can be found in Vancouver councillor Christine Boyle’s recently proposed land value capture policy; indeed, such a policy may be worth exploring in New Westminster. What is unequivocally clear, though, is that it is only just for risks to be shared if the rewards are as well. Elliot Rossiter, New Westminster

Chief leaves New West for top Transit Police job Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

After working his way up the ranks of the New Westminster Police Department, Chief Const. Dave Jones is trading in his badge for a new one from the Metro Vancouver Transit Police. New Westminster Police announced last week that Jones had accepted the position of chief officer with the Transit Police after 37 years with the NWPD. “Nothing in my career has brought me more pride than serving as the police chief for the City of New Westminster. I will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to protect and serve a community I value so much.” Jones said in a press release. Jones’ first gig with the NewWestminster Police was as a reserve constable 1982. He was hired as a full-time officer in September 1986, and in the 1990s he led the initiative to deal with the influx of crack cocaine dealers.

In March 2000, Jones was promoted to inspector and served as the officer-incharge of the patrol division and support services division before being promoted to deputy chief constable in October 2009. Two years later, in March 2011, Jones was made chief constable of the New Westminster Police Department after his predecessor, Lorne Zapotichny, retired. Jones is the only officer to have been promoted through all the ranks of the department and has been recognized for his dedication to policing services in Canada. He’s received the Chief Constable Commendation, the Senior Officer’s Commendation, the Queen’s Jubilee Medal and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal and was named a Member of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces medal, according to the press release. There’s no word yet on who will replace Jones at the helm of the New Westmin-

ster Police Department. He officially starts his new job with Transit Police on April 1. “I am extremely humbled, honoured and excited to be given the opportunity to lead the Metro Vancouver Transit Police as their new chief officer,” Jones said in the release. “I’d like to extend my thanks to interim Chief Barry Kross for the great work he has done. I look forward to working hard to further Transit Police and TransLink’s commitment to safety for everyone who uses the transit system.”

Saying goodbye: After 37 years with the New Westminster Police Department, Chief Const. Dave Jones is leaving for a new job at the helm of the Metro Vancouver Transit Police. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Innovation Week focuses on accessibility Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is shining a spotlight on accessibility at its upcoming Transportation Forum. The Transportation Forum, one of the events being held during Innovation Week, will focus on addressing the question: How accessible is accessible?The forum, which will consider the broader issue of transportation planning, is on Thursday, March 7 at Anvil Centre from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. According to a press release from the city, the transportation forum includes workshops and speakers who will focus on planning transportation for all ages and abilities across all modes, and uncovering whether planners are treating “accessible” as a box that needs to be checked or a deeper process of making transportation truly welcoming for all. “Access to public transit can have a real impact on our quality of life, but for some, accessing and using the public transit system presents an obstacle,” said Kevin Desmond,

CEO of TransLink, which is sponsoring the forum. “At TransLink, we’re constantly thinking about solutions to make our system even more inclusive and accessible to meet the needs of our customers.We’re very pleased to see the City of New Westminster engage on this critically important component to transportation planning as the theme for the 2019 Innovation Week.”

The day’s lineup looks truly innovative ...

Stan Leyenhorst, who has been a quadriplegic for 40 years and brings a first-person perspective to his work as an inclusive design specialist, will lead the morning’s discovery session. The panellists for this session include CNIB board member and blind athlete Gary Steeves, New Westminster Coun. Patrick Johnstone, accessibility advocate Asifa Lalji and Citizens for Accessible Neighbourhoods’ executive director Heather

McCain. “I am pleased to be moderating a panel with representation from people with varied lived expertise,” Leyenhorst said in a press release. “The City of New Westminster has put together a great day of learning which I am looking forward to attending.This is a great early step in creating a regional conversation to make universal accessibility a more comprehensive and integrated part of navigating cities.” Elise Roy, whose TEDx talk,When We Design for Disability,We All Benefit, has more than 1.1 million views, will give the afternoon’s keynote address. Roy, who is a deaf, human-centred designer, former lawyer and motivational speaker, has given talks at the United Nations, the World Bank, Microsoft and the U.S. Institute for Peace. “I am honoured to have been invited to speak to the participants at the Transportation Forum and look forward to bringing them a message on the importance of inclusion and why accessibility matters,” Roy said. “The day’s lineup looks truly innovative and forward-

thinking.” This year’s Transportation Forum also include experiential activities, group work to develop strategies and a display/information area where municipalities, educational institutions and organizations will display their challenges, learnings and initiatives they’re working on. Tickets for the transportation forum are $34.99 and

available at www.innovatenewwest.ca. Now in its third year, Innovation Week runs from March 2 to 8 and features activities for people of all ages and backgrounds, including: theYouth Exploration and Experimentation in Technology Festival (March 2 and 3); PechaKucha New West speakers’ series (March 2); the New

Westminster Business and Tech Meetup networking event (March 4); the Innovation Forum (March 6); and the Advancing Women in STEAM symposium (March 8). To get more details about all of the Innovation Week events and to register, go to www.innovatenewwest.ca.

City symposium celebrates women in STEAM Women in STEAM will be front and centre at New Westminster’s 2019 Innovation Week. The City of New Westminster is celebrating Women in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) with a symposium on Friday, March 8 at Anvil Centre.The full-day sym-

posium will feature speakers and panels to explore what’s working, and examine what’s needed and how to connect women and STEAM using arts-based creativity and computational skills. “Every organization can learn something about the value of continuing to advance women in STEAM-

based fields, starting with why the ‘A’ is important in Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics,” said Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer. “Our work at the City of New Westminster with both Innovation Week and events in support of gender equality has highlighted the need for a regional conversation

in order to create the lasting systemic change we need. I hope to see representation from government, business, non-profits, and residents.” Sessions at the symposium will include themes like: Why Does Industry Need STEAM?,When Barriers Collide, and Holding Space For STEAM. Aoife MacNamara, dean

in the faculty of communication, art and technology at Simon Fraser University, is giving the event’s closing keynote address. “This full-day conversation will highlight ways to advance women in technical and scientific fields,” said a press release about the event. “The modern economy is increasingly being

driven by innovation sectors like science, technology and engineering, and while their demographics are changing, women remain under-represented in many of the key fields which are the new engines for growth and innovation.” Tickets ($24.99) and information are available at www.innovatenewwest.ca.

ELECTIONS

Students urge council to expand voting privileges

Permanent residents are currently not allowed to vote Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Permanent residents in Canada may be able to work, volunteer, pay taxes, and campaign and donate to election campaigns, but what they can’t do is vote. Several Sajedeh Zaki, a NewWest resident who moved to Canada six years ago, said young people’s voices need to be heard. “If this motion of Lost Votes is passed, in terms of us permanent residents, we will be able to vote,” she said. “It also encourages young people to be more involved in what is happening in the city or even the federal level.” Since moving to Canada with his family when he was 16, Raunaq Singh has served on city committees and participated in elections. His Social Studies 11 teacher “hyped” the electoral process and Canadians’ ability

to vote, but when he was 18 he was surprised to find out he was unable to vote. “That unfortunately is the reality for a lot of permanent residents, thousands of permanent residents who live across the province,” said Singh, who will soon be able to vote as he’s taking his oath of citizenship this month. “It simply doesn’t make sense to me why someone … who lives here, works here, volunteers in our communities and also pay taxes, why they should be unable to have a say in their governance, why they shouldn’t have a say in who represents them.” Coun. Nadine Nakagawa put forward a motion in support of the FreshVoices’ #LostVotesYVR campaign. The resolution, which will go to the Lower Mainland Local Government Association convention and then the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, would

ask the province to make the necessary changes that would allow permanent residents to vote in municipal elections in B.C. “Permanent residents are active members of our community in every sense of the word,” she said. “They volunteer.They live here.They donate money to causes and they are involved in the same way that citizens are.” Several council members said they met people during the 2018 election campaign who told them they were unable to vote because they were permanent residents. The issue is one that hits close to home for Coun. Chinu Das, who immigrated to Canada 40 years ago and wasn’t able to vote for 20 years because she was a permanent resident. “I felt like I was silenced for 20 years,” she said. “That shouldn’t be the case. I really think this is long overdue.”

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8067, 2019 WHAT IS BYLAW NO. 8067, 2019 ABOUT?

The Infill Housing Program, which includes laneway and carriage houses, and infill townhouses and rowhouses, was implemented concurrently with the adoption of the Official Community Plan (OCP) in October 2017. As part of implementing the OCP, the City is undertaking monitoring and review to assess the success of the program. As part of this review, an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is proposed to improve the design of detached accessory dwelling units (laneway or carriage houses). These amendments include: • Reduced required rear lane setbacks, • Larger permitted garage spaces for fully accessible units, • Additional permitted area for covered front entry landings, • Additional permitted area for un-covered upper level decks, • Additional permitted area for externally-accessed bicycle storage. Attend: City Hall Council Chamber, 511 Royal Ave., New Westminster, BC V3L 1H9

Further, an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is proposed to remove the current area exclusion for a garage attached to a main house in the Single Detached Residential (RS-1) zone. Attached garages would still be permitted, but they would be included in the maximum permitted floor area, similar to the existing regulations in the Neighbourhood Single Detached Residential (NR-1) zone, which is consistent with the intent of the laneway and carriage house program. The Zoning Bylaw would also be amended to improve the design of infill townhouses and rowhouses by removing the maximum floor area permitted below grade in the Infill Townhouse and Rowhouse Residential (RT) zone. An overall maximum above grade floor area would still apply.

Post: Legislative Services Department 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster BC V3L 1H9

Community GOVERNMENT

New West wants province to tackle poverty Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster wants the province to use its ABCs to tackle poverty. City council has endorsed the B.C. Poverty Reduction Coalition’s ABC plan and agreed to encourage the provincial government to develop and implement a provincial poverty-reduction strategy that includes measures proposed in the ABC plan. Council also committed to working with the provincial government in implementing the plan. “I think we all are aware that B.C. has had one of the

worst child poverty rates “The plan also acknowlin the country for many, edges that municipalities many years. In fact, one in can’t bear sole responsibilifive kids still live in poverty,” ty for this work. In fact, sensaid Coun.

Coun. Jaimie McEvoy

believes the city can play a leading role in pursuing this issue though the Lower Mainland Local Government Association, the Union of B.C. Municipalities and the provincial government. “This is an important motion. I think it’s quite consistent with our strategic plan that we pursue this and try and be a leader in changing provincial policy,” he said. “I can tell you that while the rate of child poverty is one in five, when you look at the actual breakdown of that you get a lot bigger numbers in some areas. For visible minority children, the rate is

23 per cent. For Aboriginal children off-reserve only, it’s 30.9 per cent and for recent immigrant children it’s 44.9 per cent. So child poverty rates in British Columbia are big, in terms of the average, but they are through the roof when you start looking at some of the specific groups that are affected.” In addition to urging the province to take strong action to address homelessness, Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city’s motion also states New Westminster wants to partner with the provincial government on the strategy. He said that’s important because it’s

through partnerships between the different levels of government that gains will be made to address poverty. “I think this is a welltimed motion. I think we all recognize that the provincial government is currently working on a poverty-reduction strategy, which is probably long overdue,” he said. “I think the time to push to make sure this strategy is as bold and as aggressive as possible. From a city perspective, it’s in local communities that we often see the negative impacts of poverty in our local neighbourhoods.”

MUSIC

Cellist joins symphony for Elgar concerto Edward Elgar’s haunting Cello Concerto in E minor is the centrepiece of the next New Westminster Symphony Orchestra concert. The orchestra is onstage for its first concert of 2019 on Sunday, March 3 at 2 p.m. at Massey Theatre. The concerto is Elgar’s last notable work, written in the aftermath of the First World War. It didn’t achieve widespread popularity until the 1960s, when a recording by Jacqueline du Pré caught the public imagination and became a classical bestseller. “The concerto is, for the most part, contemplative and expresses sorrow for what is now past with its haunting melody,” says a press release about the concert. Joining the orchestra for the occasion will be cellist Bo Peng, the current junior orchestra director of the VSO School of Music. Peng, who holds a master of music from the Eastman School of Music and a performer’s diploma from Indiana University, has performed at summer festivals and master classes around the world. Rounding out the concert will be Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 1 in E minor and Carl Maria von Weber’s Der Freischütz Overture. “Der Freischütz is an opera that embodies everything that goes into establishing the German romantic opera style, covering folk material, mysticism, magic, distance (and foreboding) places, danger and a strong dose of the supernatural, replete with Faustian overtones,” the release says. The symphony is dedicating the concert to the memory of its longtime friend and supporter, local arts promoter Tony Antonias,

“whose tireless efforts have contributed greatly to the longevity of the orchestra,” the release says. The orchestra, under the direction of Jin Zhang, is now in its 75th year. Massey Theatre is at 735 Eighth Ave., and the con-

cert is by donation. See www.newwest symphony.net for more details about the orchestra. The musicians will next return to the stage May 5 with Viva España.

Community Amber Alert whiners need to check priorities Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Late-night knocks at the door, phone calls during dinner and friends coming and going without notice at any time of day. When I was growing up, interruption was just a part of life. But today, even if it’s a life-or-death situation, people just don’t seem to want to be bugged – and it’s becoming a real problem. Thanks to technology, we can now silence phone calls, ignore texts and complete transactions without having to talk to a live person. Playdates no longer exist without pre-determined plans, and few families have home phones – making those oldschool interruptions nearly obsolete. While we’ve become comfortable with the controlled communications that have resulted from these changes to technology, it seems as though we’ve forgotten about the importance of spontaneity, faceto-face interactions and the unspoken rule of helping others. On Feb. 14, an Amber Alert was issued across Ontario, notifying the public of the abduction of an 11-year-old girl in Toronto and pleading for the public’s help to locate the lost child. Unfortunately, the authorities were unable to save the girl in time; her body was discovered at her father’s home later that night. She was deceased. The search ended with devastating results and a disappointing outpouring of

complaints from the public. Many of these people felt compelled to call the police – not to help with the search, but to complain of the late-night interruption received through their devices. In response to more than 300 complaints received as a result of the late-night wake-up call, media relations officer Const. Akhil Mooken of Ontario’s Peel Regional Police shared in a tweet, “I can’t even begin to describe how disappointing and upsetting it is to read the comments, emails and calls to our communications bureau complaining about receiving an Amber Alert late at night.” Disgusted by the disregard for a system that literally saves lives, an outpouring of objections hit the headlines, calling out the whiners who seemed to be more worried about a good night’s sleep than the life of a missing child. What kind of society have we become if people are more concerned about being interrupted than looking at an unexpected message that could potentially save a life? Amber Alerts, a wireless emergency alert system designed to locate children who have been abducted,

have saved 934 children (as of October 2018) through widespread messages shared through highway signs,TV station “text crawls,” and direct messages to the devices of those living in the affected areas.The immediate speed of the spread of the alert and the ability to cast a wider net when it comes to making the public aware of the missing child case are just some of the benefits. It’s a system that works. The complaints about the Amber Alert notifications are an important wake-up call for us all that living uninterrupted lives may not be worthwhile in the long run. While we may enjoy the comforts of closing ourselves off from interruption, we need to remember that sometimes a knock at the door, or an unexpected notification, may be a call for help that must be answered. I say keep the alerts coming because if disrupting my sleep could potentially save a child’s life, it’s more than worth the interruption. No loss of sleep could compare to the devastation of the loss of a child. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant. Find her Twitter and Instagram at @bitsofbee.

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A celebration of life has been set for longtime New Westminster resident Tony Antonias. Antonias, 89, passed away on Jan. 25 at Royal Columbian Hospital. In addition to being the creator of numerous jingles, including the award-winning $1.49 Day ad for Woodward’s, Antonias was a tireless promoter and supporter of local events – contributions that led to his being a recipient of the city’s Bernie Legge Cultural Award in 2000, the New Westminster Citizen of theYear in 2006 and a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in 2013. A celebration of life is on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. at Massey Theatre in New Westminster. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Royal City Musical Theatre or Massey Theatre Society are appreciated. THRIFT SALE SET St. Barnabas Thrift Store

It’s having a $5 a bag clothing sale on Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1010 Fifth Ave. LONGTIME NEW WEST RESIDENT PASSES AWAY Condolences to the family and friends of longtime New Westminster resident Bert “Bertie” Houston who passed away Jan. 31 at the age of 95. Born and raised in New Westminster, Houston worked with the city’s electrical department for many years. He was also a member of the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery for nearly five decades. Houston was also inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame and was said to be one of the game’s greatest penalty killers. He spent most of his

career with the New Westminster Salmonbellies, but also had brief stops with the New Westminster Adanacs (which were a New Westbased team once upon a time) and the Vancouver Burrards. “Bertie was 27th on the Inter-City Lacrosse League all-time scoring list when he ended his 18-year, 74-game career in 1959,” stated an overview on the hall of fame website.

Dance company brings the sights and sounds of Cuba to the Massey

We are offering 10% off the entire store including sale items.

Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

In Cuba, dance isn’t just something you learn; it’s something that’s born into you. “I think that we dance before walking,” laughs Lizt Alfonso, on the phone from her office in Havana. “We love playing music before walking.” Don’t take that to mean, mind you, that there isn’t a great deal of dance training in Alfonso’s life. She may not quite have been born dancing, but she started formal training in the form of ballet classes at age four and hasn’t looked back. Alfonso is the founder and general director of Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba, an internationally acclaimed company that’s bringing its Cuba Vibra! show to the Massey Theatre on March 8. The show, which includes 17 dancers and eight musicians, presents a tour through some of the “best of the best” moments from various shows in the company’s repertoire in a style Alfonso describes as “dance fusion.” It incorporates elements of flamenco and African dance with popular rhythms from Cuba past and present – chacha, mambo, rumba, salsa – with a blend of contemporary dance and ballet. “It is the way that we are: very colourful with a lot of passion,” Alfonso says. The show is joyful and celebratory, she says, but with stories that also speak of more sombre subjects: the impacts of war; the journeys of refugees by sea in search of new lives – whether that’s from Haiti to Cuba, from Cuba to the U.S., or from Africa to Spain. The live musicians onstage are integral to the show, Alfonso says, and they bring a far different vibe than simply having recorded music. “Music live is very good because they can feel every-

She hopes the audiences who see CubaVibra! experience the many facets of Cuban life not just through the dance, but through the music, the scenery, the costume design, the lighting. “We have so many influences here on this island, it is amazing,” she says, adding that she strives to create the feeling that the audience is inside the stage, with the performers. “It’s very interesting for us, the way that people connect with this show. …You can see the audience, that they laugh, or they clap, or they cry, it depends.” She says audiences in the U.S. and Canada, in particular, have responded with pin-drop silence to aspects of the show. “People are totally quiet, and then they start to bravo and to clap,” she says. Besides dazzling audiences around the world, Alfonso has also earned international recognition for her work both with her dance company and its associated dance school, which has more than 1,000 students starting at age six.

OUR PAST

Captains added colour to city life Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

At a recent talk at the Fraser River Discovery Centre, we focused on stories of various “captains and characters” on the Fraser River. Captains John Irving and William Moore were good at what they did, but they were also frequently cantankerous, especially when it came to interacting with each other. In the spring of 1884, Captain Moore wanted to unload a freight cargo at a wharf at Port Hammond that was apparently owned by John’s company. Moore thought the wharf was public; Irving said it wasn’t, and off to court they went. John Irving was also known to be superstitious. He paid close attention to the operations of his vessels, who or what was carried on board, and apparently what might be combined on a trip. On one occasion when he was overseeing the loading of steamboat at Chilliwack he would not allow a parson to get on board as a passenger. An argument ensued with increasing strength, but Captain John won out.

Irving, it was reported, stated: “A parson and a grey mare should not travel together. He had carried such a combination on three separate occasions, and on each occasion, he had met with an accident, and as he had a grey mare aboard at the present time … parsons were barred.The parson was, in fact, left protesting angrily as the boat drew away from the wharf.” It was not unknown for some captains to actually race each other in order to get to the docks and ports ahead of the other guy.The following story of such activity is from a local paper of 1889: “Steamboat rivalry. Alarming collision on the Fraser River. On Sunday when nearing Fort Langley, the sternwheel steamers William Irving and Gertrude locked guards and ran down river in that position for several minutes. On arrival at Langley the Gertrude ran into the Irving, smashing guards and doing about $200 worth of damage.The steamers sheared off. Someone on the Gertrude gave the Irving an ovation with a raw egg, which he threw at the latter’s commander.”

GABE, 2 YRS

Male white bully breed dog. Chad is such a happy guy! He loves meeting humans of all kinds, and wants to show off his goofy nature with an audience. Meeting other dogs can be a bit more of a challenge for him, so he will need owners who can help keep his emotions in check. Chad has shown us he can make doggy friends, but dog parks will not be his scene. Chad would love a yard to run around in. Given his excitability and jumpy nature, we would like to see him in a home without young children. Chad is neutered, tattooed, and vaccinated. Call us to make an appointment to visit him!

Male mastiff mixed breed. Gabe is quite a handsome dog, and he definitely turns heads as he is a big boy, weighing in at 70+ kg! Gabe had loving owners, and lived inside the home, but unfortunately, other than seeing dogs from a distance on his regular walk, he did not get a lot of exposure to different environments, children, or other dogs. Therefore, he will need a new home without children, cats, or other dogs. He can probably make dog friends, but he will need an owner who can help him with his socialization. Gabe is very playful and goofy. He would love a fenced yard as dog parks will likely not be in his future. Gabe is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Call us to make an appointment to visit him!

These two cats are so sweet and gentle, even after many upheavals in their lives. Peaches can be quite shy, but is affectionate. Spartacus is more outgoing and quite enjoys a lot of attention. Both cats love to play and snuggle. They would do best in a quiet home. They are spayed & neutered, tattooed & microchipped, vaccinated and have even had dental cleanings. The adoption fee for the pair is $264 + tax.

Long-haired smokey grey handsome kitty. Chai is such a character! Originally found as a stray, Chai is looking for a home where he can have safe outdoor access (perhaps a catio?), as he likes his daily walkabouts. We would like to find a more rural home for him as he’s a little too friendly with neighbouring families. Chai prefers to be the only cat, but can peacefully co-exist with a respectful dog. Chai is pretty independent, but does like to climb onto your lap occasionally. Since he can play a bit rough, we don’t think wee children would be wise. Chai has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and has had a dental surgery. Proudly sponsored by

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Momentum in Douglas’ court for provincials

Focused on finishing top-two at B.C.s, defending champs fueled by strong chemistry, veteran presence Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

If they hoped to be in a groove for the playoffs, the Douglas College Royals women’s volleyball team got that and more in Saturday’s regular season finale. In a home-and-home series against Capilano University, Douglas emerged with 3-1 and 3-2 decisions to finish the year at 18-6 and on a six-game win streak. “I feel it was real beneficial to be in that situation, we came away pretty confident,” Douglas head coach Jeff Ross said. “Ever since we lost to (Vancouver Island) a month ago we’ve kind of played stronger.” The No. 3-ranked team in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association, the Royals are on course for big things this season, but are fully aware that it all comes down to court play – and this weekend at the PacWest provincial championships. That’s exactly what they’ve pushed for all year long. Douglas, with a lineup loaded with returning veterans from last year’s national silver medalists, has weathered some storms to get to this point, but none that knocked them off their charted course. They’ve rolled up six straight wins since dropping the first two games of the new year – to archrival Vancouver Island, who also beat them last year in the national final. “We want to get to the nationals, and that’s been our aim from the beginning,” said Ross. “Losing those two games after the (winter) break was probably a good thing.Teams tend to be a bit sloppy coming back and that’s pretty much what happened.” With their 3-2 triumph on Saturday over Capilano University, Douglas College showed that no matter the situation, they can bring the noise. The New West-based team was pushed to match point and appeared poised to drop

their seventh match of the season before a huge block by third-year setter Abby Mitro to trigger a comeback that saw them score the final four points. On the strength of Vania Oliveira’s kill they went ahead 13-11, and finished it on

two Cap attacking errors. If there was a message in the mix, being as the game was of no consequence to the standings, it was that the Royals have the means and ways to get the job done – no matter what that job is.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Hyacks win Mainland opener

NewWest has no easy route to a provincial berth Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

One down, a gauntlet still to go. The New Westminster senior boys basketball team kicked off the 4-A Lower Mainland tournament on Tuesday with a relatively easy 86-60 triumph over Eric Hamber, but now enter a dragon’s den to keep their provincial hopes moving forward. Wednesday’s contest against No. 6-ranked Vancouver College, played past the Record’s deadline, will put the next wheel in motion. “It’s crazy – they’re loud, noisy and very partisan,” New West coach Ted Cusick said of the College fans. “If you like high school basketball, that’s the kind of atmosphere you like

to play in.” Decidedly underdogs having gone unranked all season, the Hyacks will need their best effort to unseat the Fighting Irish in their own domain. Seeded No. 5 after finishing third in the Burnaby-New West district, the Hyacks were the only local team to exact a win from the preliminary games. No. 9-seed Moscrop fell 6562 to Killarney, while No. 10 Churchill knocked off No. 7 Burnaby North 88-81. David Thompson blasted Burnaby Central 87-44 – but in the double-knockout tourney, everyone lives to play another day. New West has faced the Fighting Irish twice this year, both losses.The most recent setback, a 95-76 loss in Janu-

ary, was closer than it appeared, said Cusick. “They thumped us badly in the first meeting,” remarked Cusick, who started his bench in that December contest. “We played them pretty well (last month) but they got some late points to make it look worse than it was.” Against Hamber, New West saw 13 of 15 players put up points for the first round win. Luke Burton cashed in 22 points and three rebounds, while AJ Chol netted 10 points. Grade 10 guard Caleb Johnson netted nine points, while Jaxson Stocker registered nine assists. “I think we played reasonably well, but mostly it was because we were bigger and taller,” said Cusick. “We didn’t play our Continued on page 33

With 15 players from last year’s provincial champions in the lineup, the Royals can chalk experience on their side. “Last year’s result was motivation but not something we wanted to dwell on,” said Ross. “We’re a more experienced team.”

Karwicki nets gold off bounce Jordan Karwacki and Maveric Romaniuk picked up a gold to lead the Shasta Trampoline Club at its annual Aaron Johnson Memorial meet in Burnaby last week. Karwacki captured a pair of firstplace results, winning the men’s Level 6, 17-and-under trampoline, as well as Level 5’s double mini event. Romaniuk posted the top score in Level 5 for 16-and-under, at 136.205, edging out Madison Eagle of DGC by two points. Other gold medals were recorded by Jordan Wilmshurst, in Level 6, and Maro Bruno, in senior men’s trampoline. Bruno also placed second in double mini. Scoring silver for Shasta were Julia Ellis, in Level 3, and Clare Hardjowasito, in Level 5, 17-and-over. Eleni Papakyriakopoulos placed second in double mini Level 5. Also earning top-four marks were Hardjowasito, in double mini, and Declan McLean, in junior men’s trampoline.

Route gets Royal City athlete on target with technique tougher for Javelin thrower a finalist for Sport BC’s high school athlete of the year honour Hyacks under-18 javelin thrower in Canada. Mario Bartel editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Continued from page 32 system well at all, so that’s something we can do better.” A win Wednesday would put the Hyacks into next week’s semifinal (Feb. 27 at the Richmond Oval), against the winner of Killarney and Burnaby South. However, a loss to College would send them on a longer route, requiring them to win Friday against Burnaby Central.The Lower Mainland only has three berths for the B.C.s, March 6 to 9 in Langley. Either way, New West has to get past a ranked opponent – either No. 2 Burnaby South, No. 4 Kitsilano, Van College or No. 7 St. George’s. Cusick knows there are surprises occasionally. “We’ve got a shot.We’re starting to play better and I’m happy with how the boys are working.The kids are pumped, heck, even I’m pumped for it.”

Jarrett Chong knows he’s doing well when he doesn’t hurt. Eight years of throwing a javelin has taken a toll on the 18-year-old Royal City Track Club athlete. Any mistake or variation in the measured movements of cocking his arm, planting his foot and pivoting his upper body and right arm forward to achieve maximum distance can result in pain to his elbow or lower back that’s so searing he can’t even sit down. But when everything goes right, when his motions are smooth and his technique perfect, Chong said it’s gratifying to watch the javelin sail straight and far down the field. “Sometimes the easiest throws are the best throws,” he said. Last year, there were a lot of easy throws. The Port Coquitlam resident won the provincial high school championship 800-gram javelin event on a throw of 55.47 metres. A few weeks later he whipped a lighter, 700gram javelin 66.82 metres at the Pacific Invitational in Langley, attaining theYouth Olympic standard. It led to him becoming the top ranked

Those achievements have earned Chong recognition as a finalist for high school male athlete of the year at the Sport BC Athlete of theYear awards that will be handed out March 13 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel in Vancouver. Chong didn’t set out to become a javelin thrower when he took up track and field at nine years of age. He trained and competed in all the events, but it was the throwing that really caught his fancy. Chong began focusing on those. But as he grew — or rather, didn’t grow — javelin took more and more of his attention. “It’s a lot about size,” Chong said of throwing heavy implements like the discus and hammer, or putting the shot, adding he was especially encouraged when he saw an athlete from Taipei who was just an inch taller than him toss a javelin 96 metres at an international meet. Chong, who trains with the Royal City Track and Field Club in New Westminster, said throwing a javelin far is about technique.That means constant repetition of the motions that go into a throw, from picking up the javelin, to the blocking phase when his foot plants and his arm

comes forward, to his release. To prepare his body for such a regime, he does full-body workouts in the gym, as well as gymnastics and swimming. “It’s all geared towards the technical aspects,” Chong said, adding his inattention to that side a few years ago led to his elbow and back injuries. Chong said being a javelin athlete can be a bit of a solitary existence.

He generally trains on his own, under the guidance of Royal City’s Kevin Smith, and there usually isn’t a lot of competitors in his event, especially at local meets. But there’s also a spirit of camaraderie and support amongst the javelin throwers. “You’re competing against each other, but you’re also trying to beat your personal best or pass your goals,” he said. “The support and encouragement really boosts me.”

BABINGTON - Isabel Joyce, (nee King) “JOYCE”, age 86, formerly of New Westminster passed away peacefully in Kamloops on February 14, 2019. Joyce was born August 26, 1932 in Wilkie Saskatchewan before the family moved to White Rock, BC in 1936. Joyce graduated from Semiahmoo High school in 1950, starting her career as a bank teller. Joyce retired from the telecommunications industry as an executive secretary at the age of 72. After retirement, Joyce loved to volunteer her time at Century House, in New Westminster. Preceded in death by her parents Reuben Roy King, Isabella King (nee Gavel), and all nine of her brothers and sisters. Joyce is survived by her loving daughter, Susan Dawn Folinsbee, her husband John and grandson James; loving son, Jeffrey Donald Babington and granddaughters Brianne Jennifer and Krystle Dawn, numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. The family are thankful for the wonderful care given by Dr. Susan D. Vlahos, also the staff at Royal Inland Hospital. No services will be held at this time as Joyce will be interred with her mother, father and siblings at the Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery in Surrey, BC. Celebrations of life will take place in the spring. Joyce was a long-time supporter of the SPCA and if desired, friends may make memorial contributions to the Kamloops SPCA, or to one of the fund-raising campaigns to rebuild the famous White Rock Pier, a place Joyce loved so much. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com
