SCHOOLS

May Day classes moved to after school Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Preparations for this year’s May Day celebration are moving ahead, but not without a few changes to the 149-year-old tradition.

This year, participation in the folk dance and May Pole dance will be considered an extracurricular activity, with all instruction taking place outside of school hours, according to superintendent Karim Hachlaf.

“The time taken over the six weeks after spring break leading up to May Day has proved to present itself with a number of challenges,” he told trustees at a school board meeting this week.

Challenges have multiplied since the restoration of class size and composition language to teachers’ contracts, according to Hachlaf, and with smaller classes and more split classes, it’s become increasingly difficult to coordinate dance instruction during the school day.

This year, Grade 3 and 4 students who want to take part in the May Day dances will practise their routines twice a week after school.

The instruction will take place from 3 to 4 p.m.

“It will run right after school so we don’t present any challenges around child care or supervision, and the principals on site will be seeking volunteer support,” Hachlaf said.

The changes come less than a year after Hachlaf presented the previous school board with a re-

port following last year’s May Day event.

In the report, he said the total costs of putting on the event, including Royal Suite expenses, staff hours, transportation and more, came to $26,690.

It was in this report that Hachlaf also recommended that the dance lessons for Grade 3 and 4 students for future May Day events take place outside of school hours while the Queen’s Park Stadium event and school assemblies remain unchanged.

“There is tremendous support from staff and the community on the continuation of May Day, so we will be soliciting that support.

Staff support to help with the dance instruction at schools, and we certainly are open to community support to help with that instruction, in fact, we welcome it,” he said.

“We want to continue that work together.”

This year’s May Day is happening Wednesday, May 22 at Queen’s Park Stadium.

New West students go on climate strike Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

About 50 NewWestminster Secondary students marched out of class last Friday as part of a global student strike demanding action on climate change.

The worldwide demonstration was inspired by 16-year-old Swedish student and climate activist Greta Thunberg who, in August 2018, was thrust into the spotlight when she organized the first student strike against climate change in front of the Swedish Parliament Buildings.

Thunberg was invited to speak at the UN Climate Talks in Poland in December and at theWorld Economic Forum in Davos in January. Last week she was nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.

“She inspired an international movement and I wanted our school to take part in that,” said Karter Deedman, organizer of the NewWestminster Secondary School student strike.

Deedman is in Grade 10 at NWSS and was one of about 50 students who left school Fri-

WALK FOR CHANGE: About 50 New Westminster Secondary students walked out of class Friday morning to demand tougher action on climate change. The protest was part of a worldwide student strike.. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE

day morning to march in protest against climate change.

“Climate change is a problem

that everyone is facing, and we really need to make sure everyone in our city and in our country and all

over the world knows about it so that we can work together to solve it,” she said.

Students marched around the high school chanting “Change the system! Fight the system! Fix the system!” while passing drivers honked in support. Some students carried signs calling on society to do more to fight climate change.

“Every single city needs to show that it cares so that we can make our country care about it.

Even though we’re a small city, it’s important that we show that we have a voice,” Deedman said.

At Monday’s city council meeting, council directed staff to report back on climate actions that could be taken by the City of NewWestminster.

This includes updating existing city plans to reflect new targets contained in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, new ways the city could help achieve its targets and new ideas to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

“I’m very proud of that and now I’m hoping that the rest of B.C. will consider doing that too,” Deedman said of council’s motion.

FACILITIES

City aims to open new Sportsplex by spring of 2020 Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A replacement for the Queen’s Park Arenex is on track to open this time next year – and to last longer than previously planned.

On March 11, city council received an update about the Queen’s Park Sportsplex project, which is nearing the end of the conceptual design stage.The 12,000-square-foot building will be located on the old reservoir/ tennis court site in Queen’s Park, next to the newly completed skate park.

“We are excited that we are finally at the stage where we are talking about final designs for replacement of the Queen’s Park Arenex,” said JayYoung, the city’s manager of recreation services.

“The Sportsplex will be able to accommodate all the programs that took place at the Queen’s Park Arenex.That includes the gymnastics, the trampoline, ball hockey, the preschool program, daytime programs such as Motoring Munchkins and drop-in sports such as badminton and volleyball.”

The Arenex was destroyed in December 2016, when its roof collapsed. Since then, programs offered at the Arenex have been scattered to various temporary locations.

According to a staff report, the Sportsplex will include a reception

area, universal washroom/change room, storage space for gymnastics and trampoline equipment and an 8,000-square-foot gym, which is smaller than the Arenex.

The gym will accommodate all of the programs that were offered at the Arenex.

“Now that we have council’s endorsement for the scope of the project and the schematic design aspects of it, we are moving ahead 100 miles an hour to get that design finalized and get all of the appropriate contracts awarded so we can get construction underway,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation.

In June 2017, council approved the development of a 24,000-square-foot structure that consisted of a fabric membrane over a rigid metal frame, but by mid-2018 the city was pursuing plans for a 14,000-square-foot building over a metal frame.The new plan consists of a steel structure with a steel frame and steel exterior.

“We started off with a fabric structure. It was something that was fairly inexpensive but it also had durability issues.The timeframe for the lifespan of the fabric structure was about 25 years.

It is also maintenance prone as far as keeping it clean,” said Don Driedger, the city’s manager of major projects. “It lacked a little bit of design flexibility that we really needed to create something

that would look and fit into the Queen’s Park setting.”

According to Driedger, the city expects to go out to tender in the summer, begin construction at the end of August and complete the building in early 2020.The Sportsplex has a budget of $5.5 million, with $4.4 million coming from insurance money related to the Arenex, $1.1 million coming from grants and the balance coming from city reserves.

While the city is working toward a March 2020 completion date for the facility, Gibson said

it will have a more accurate timeline once it awards the construction contract, as the contractor will commit to a specific timeline.

He said the steel structure will be more durable and have a longer lifecycle than what was previously proposed.

“We are not referring to it as a temporary facility any longer,” Gibson said.

While the size of the gym is smaller than what was first proposed, Gibson said it will still accommodate all the programs that had been offered in the Arenex.

“It’s mainly trying to balance costs versus funding versus our programming expectations,” he said, when asked why it’s smaller than previously proposed.

“The actual size of the floor area that will be used for programming is not significant enough that it’s going to have an impact on the core programs that have ran there in the past. In some cases we are in a slightly better position because we have generally a higher ceiling over the entire building than what we had in the Arenex.”

City New parklet in the works

Above and beyond

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new gathering place is coming to Brow of the Hill this summer.

Council has endorsed a design concept and location for a new parklet at 1010 Fifth Ave., which is adjacent to St. Barnabas Church.

Council directed staff to proceed with implementation of the parklet for summer 2019.

The city will spend up to $15,000 on the parklet, which will encompass an area that includes the grass boulevard, a section of sidewalk and two parking stalls.

“The parklet is designed to encourage neighbourhood gathering and includes social seating, bicycle parking, and informal play elements for children,” said a staff report. “The church committee has suggested that the city include an outdoor neighbourhood notice board or communal library.The committee also expressed interest in a joint celebration to launch the parklet that coincides with National Aboriginal Day.”

Help pilot our strategic plan

We welcome and value your ideas as we set out on a journey to develop a strategic plan that will inspire student learning into 2024.

Coun. Nadine Nakagawa questioned if the parklet would include greenspace.

“I would really like to see if there are opportunities to have additional greenspace and trees added to this parklet, because we do know the Brow is underserved,” she said.

In February 2018, Alice Cavanagh and Rick Vugteveen of the Brow of the Hill Residents’ Association urged the city to introduce some short-term and longterm initiatives aimed at improving the livability of the

neighbourhood.

Erika Mashig, the city’s manager of arboriculture, horticulture, parks and open space planning, said she’s corresponded with representatives of the Brow of the Hill Residents’ Association, and they were pleased to know the city’s tree-planting strategy is underway.

“It is a well-treed area,” she said. “At this point, we were planning on a neighbourhood planting of plants, vegetation. No trees specifically because it is a constrained site.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

Council takes measured approach to pot stores

If you want to know how the City of New Westminster measures up to other cities when it comes to cannabis stores, just look next door to Burnaby.

The City of Burnaby has done little-to-nothing on approving these stores, despite pot now being legal in this country.

The city has basically said it won’t even entertain any private stores until a government pot store is approved (and they will only allow a maximum of

four government stores despite the city having a population of 248,000). So, basically, maybe a couple of stores will be approved in the coming years.

And, once again, we remind people that pot is now legal in this country.

Meanwhile, little ol’ New Westm has shown it is taking a measured and sophisticated approach.

The city considered 22 potential locations for cannabis retailers and whittled that list down.

Following an evaluation process, staff recommended five applications for retail cannabis stores, including four private stores – Maple Leaf Greenery at 71 Sixth St. (downtown); Muse Cannabis – 532 Sixth St. (uptown); the Herb Co. Cannabis Store – 451 East Columbia St. (Sapperton); and Westcanna – 710 12th St. – and one public store to be operated by B.C. Cannabis Stores at Queensborough Landing Shopping Centre.

Last week, however, council voted four to three to consider the Queensborough Cannabis Co. Ltd.’s application instead of the government store in Queensborough Landing.

Burnaby has put its entire pot eggs into the government store basket, but New West has found that the government application was underwhelming.

City staff evaluated all of the applications using a checklist that includes items related to: location and land

use; business operations, nuisance and security; and esthetics (such as signage, windows and gates).

Not everyone approved of the process. Unsuccessful applicants complained to council about not making the cut.They voiced concerns about the tabulation of the scores, the tiebreaker criteria used to select the successful applicants, erroneous calculations in a city report, and inability to access original documents to see how applicants scored

in the evaluation checklist.

But as Coun. Patrick Johnstone said to the unsuccessful applicants, “This is not the end of the road for people who have not gotten through this first group.This is just the first group that are going through a public hearing.”

The city will hold a public hearing on April 29, at which time council would also consider third reading and adoption of the bylaw.

Now it’s your time to comment.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP policies are slowing economy

For the first time since it took power in 2017, the BC NDP government can see economic storm clouds gathering.

And, ironically, the predicted slowdown is largely attributed to its new taxation measures.

Two financial institutions released economic analyses that zeroed in on B.C.’s economy, with both projecting it will slow down significantly due to the cooling of the province’s real estate market.

Central 1 Credit Union concluded the province’s economy will have three years of weak growth after several years of robust annual growth of more than three-per-cent GDP. Its deputy chief economist, BryanYu, said “economic growth is being held hostage by the housing market slump, which is deeper than previously forecast.”

As a result, Central 1 is now forecasting the provincial economy will grow by just 2.2 per cent in the coming year, then 2.4 per cent in 2020 and 2.8 per cent in 2021.

TD Economics had a more pessimistic assessment, projecting B.C.’s economic growth to be just 1.4 per cent this year and two per cent next year. Again, the chief villain is the slumping real estate sector.

“B.C.’s deepening housing market slowdown is likely to put a larger damper on growth this year,” it said.

“The province’s housing market has been the most hard-hit by the implementation of tighter rules, rising interest rates and B.C. government policy measures.”

To be sure, neither of these projected scenarios constitute being anything close to a recession, but this may spell bad news for the government’s three-year fiscal plan.The lower the economic growth, the fewer tax dollars are available.That plan projects an increase of almost $4.5 billion in tax revenue over that period.

What’s disappointing is that measures such as the speculation tax, the increase in the foreign buyers tax and the higher tax on high-end homes were supposed to make housing more affordable. Instead, while house prices have dropped, they haven’t dropped to an affordable level.

So it now looks like the government’s housing policies are not only not meeting the affordability targets, but are having the biggest impact at slowing down the provincial economy This might not come back to haunt the NDP. Both financial institutions are predicting employment levels will remain high with the government’s infrastructure program considered to be providing a cushion to any slowdown.

As well, the BC Liberals continue to struggle to find their identity as an Opposition party and party leader AndrewWilkinson has had a bad run of foot-in-mouthitis in recent days.

But after experiencing relatively sunny days during their first 20 months in office, things may be about to get a little darker for the NDP government.

Mural was no laughing matter

A fraudster working a door-to-door scam could have used a little more market research in February.The youth posed as a Midget hockey player selling 50/50 tickets for the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association. His shtick didn’t fool parents at two homes where actual minor hockey players lived. One parent didn’t recognize the name of the team the scammer said he was on but recognized his “coach’s” name as that of former Vancouver Grizzlies coach Brian Hill. At another house, the scammer said he played on a team that just happened to be the one the resident’s son played on.The man took back the money he’d donated and called police.

May Day feels outdated in a time of reconciliation Editor: Re: Dance lessons for New Westminster’s long-standing May Day will happen after school, Record, online, March 14 May Day has always felt inconsistent from, and actually in conflict with, the inclusive and supportive community we joined a couple of years ago. I understand that families who settled here and started this celebration feel very invested in preserving it.

However, New West is no longer the same place it was 150 years ago. The New West I have been invited into and embraced by is progressive and rich in diversity. As far as the recent changes announced, I applaud the district for taking this direction. In a time of reconciliation, our students should not be forced to participate in a celebration of colonialism.

Nor should our educators be reinforcing traditional gender identities and roles. May Day is not inclusive or representative of our community and, as such, voluntary participation that does not take away from instructional time is the only reasonable solution.

in B.C. to cover for the elimination of Medical Services Plan premiums.

The finance minister says the elimination of medical services premiums will lower employer expenses. How so? The City of New Westminster paid $768,839 to medical services, in 2017. Total payroll for 2017 was $54,736,772. The employer health tax is 1.95 per cent. This new tax amounts to $1,067,367, an increase of $298,528 or 38.8 per cent which has to be paid for by the taxpayers.

The City of New Westminster has no choice except to increase all taxpayer property taxes to cover for this outrageous increase, once again proving that the NDP government did not do any research on the outcome of this tax, showing why Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and soon to be Alberta never ever to have an NDP government manage their tax dollars, again.

NOW HIRING Great Contact Centre Opportunities

New dog park for downtown Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Downtown dogs will soon be moving on up the hill to Simcoe Park.

The site of the temporary off-leash park at 813 Carnarvon St. is being redeveloped, so the city has been on the hunt for a new location.The lower portion of the downtown dog off-leash area is set to be relocated to Simcoe Park.

The city considered several locations for a new park, including the central part of Simcoe Park (which is at 122 McInnes St. near Fraser River Middle School), the southeast corner of Simcoe Park (which is closer to Royal Avenue and Eighth Street),Toronto Place Park and a space on Clarkson

Street under the SkyTrain line. A staff report states that 51 per cent of residents who filled out online surveys and open house feedback forms supported a location in Simcoe Park.

“I am challenged by the idea that we don’t have a dog park below Royal Avenue in the dense part of downtown,” said Coun.

Patrick Johnstone. “I think in this city it is going to be difficult to take away that dog park from the part of downtown that is growing the fastest. I know that Simcoe is close to much of downtown, but that hill and crossing Royal Avenue is a barrier to a lot of people.”

Council approved a staff recommendation to relocate the lower portion of the downtown dog off-leash

area to the “central” location in Simcoe Park and to continue evaluating the potential for a dog park below Royal Avenue. City staff will start implementing the offleash area in Simcoe Park this spring.

Johnstone said the city needs to move forward with the proposal, but wants staff to continue looking for opportunities in the downtown because it’s “really important” to create a dog park below Royal Avenue.

“I don’t want to be prescriptive right now, but I can think of a couple of spots that may or may not belong to the city that are underused urban spaces that would be excellent for dog parks or for small dog runs, at least,” he said.

Community HOMELESS IN THE CITY

He hands out survival kits to those in need Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Spending time in orphanages as children has given two Lower Mainland men a firsthand appreciation of the security that comes with having a roof over their heads and food in their bellies.

NewWest resident Henning Nielsen is the founder and CEO of One More Time, and Coquitlam resident Don MacMillan is the non-profit’s president. Since it was formed 15 years ago, One More Time had fed thousands of meals to needy folks in New Westminster, Burnaby, Surrey and the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.

“One of the reasons this is important for us, both him and I spent time in orphanages when we were younger,” Nielsen said.

“We know from the other side that it is not always smooth riding.”

Launched as a one-time event in 2005, One More Time soon started serving meals to 100 to 150 people people every two to three weeks. Nowadays, the leaders and a team of volunteers help feed and support folks in need several times a week at feedings and clothing events in parks, on street corners and in back alleys.

According to Nielsen, One More Time has served more than 125,000 hot meals and has given out more than 25,000 sandwiches and drinks to folks who are living on the streets. In the past couple of years, it has been giving out winter surviv-

al kits that include a sleeping bag, winter jacket and a backpack or duffle bag filled with assorted items folks may need.

“Everything that is in the bag, in the winter kit is always brand new – the clothes, the blankets,” Nielsen said. “It’s important that it is brand new stuff.”

Several nights a week, Nielsen hits the road after 11 p.m. to disperse kits to people who don’t have a place to stay for the night.

“Most of the time, the bullies always seem to get a room because they are aggressive enough. But the young, the elderly, the mentally ill, people like that, don’t seem to get a room and they sleep in other places,” he said.

“We give them a sleeping bag, a real good jacket and a survival kit.We have all kinds of things that go in it. Some churches will let them stay overnight on their benches because they have clean sleeping bags.”

The survival kits are filled with a variety of items, including food like pepperoni and noodles, toiletries like toothbrushes and toothpaste, a thermos that people can use to make the noodles, socks and toques, a raincoat, cutlery, hand heaters, water and a $5 gift card to Tim Hortons so people can buy something and get hot water for their noodles.

“I just drive around. After 15 years I know where they are located, where they try to get a dry place to stay,” Nielsen said. “If you go out after 11:30 at

Homeless in Metro Vancouver Metro Vancouver’s 2017 homeless count, conducted over a 24hour period in March 2017, reported 3,605 people were found to be homeless, which was a 30 per cent increase from the 2014 count. Of the 3,605 people who were identified as homeless, 1,032 had no shelter and 2,573 had shelter at places such as shelters, transition houses and safe houses.

The study found that: 72 per cent of those counted were male, 27 per cent were female and one per cent were of another gender; 16 per cent were youth under 25 and 21 per cent were seniors over 54; 34 per cent of respondents self-identified as Indigenous/Aboriginal; 83 per cent reported at least one health condition and 52 per cent reported two or more health conditions.

The 2018 Youth Homeless Count in Metro Vancouver, conducted in April 2018, found a total of 681 youth and children were experiencing homelessness, with 643 youth aged 13 to 24 living independently of their parents or guardians and 38 under the age of 25 living with their parents or guardians. Thirty-five per cent of the 681 youth were sheltered in a shelter, safe or transition house or detox facility or recovery house, while 64 per cent had stayed outside in a vehicle, in a makeshift shelter or tent, in an abandoned/ vacant building or were couch surfing and staying in temporary indoor accommodations.

HELPING OTHERS: New West resident Henning Nielsen is the founder and CEO of One More Time. PHOTO THERESA MCMANUS night and start looking around, you’ll be amazed how many people are on the streets in Burnaby and New West, sadly.”

One More Time raises money for the food programs and emergency kits through fundraisers such as dances, raffles, carwashes, clothing sales, silent auctions and bottle drives.

Nielsen hopes the kits

help folks living on the street get through the nights a little better.

“People can’t afford it, so there are more people on the streets,” he said.

“It’s not easy surviving in the Downtown Eastside.

It’s easier here in New Westminster and Burnaby.

Nevertheless, hungry is hungry and cold is cold.”

After 15 years of help-

ing homeless people, Nielsen had hoped the number of people on the street would be decreasing, but it’s not working out that way.

“When we started 15 years ago, I thought I could solve all the problems,” he said. “Now I just know I can only help a little and make it better.”

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY March 21, 2019 13

Community Douglas library to get an upgrade The library at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus is about to get a $4 million facelift.

The renovation project will see the existing library upgraded to include new collaboration spaces and quiet study and group project areas, according to a press release.

The renovations will also include upgrades to the library’s fire sprinklers and air conditioning system as well as new LED lighting.

“Douglas College is continuously exploring ways to make our students’ experience more productive and engaging,” said Douglas president and CEO Kathy Denton. “The new space will be brighter and will integrate with today’s latest technology.”

The Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training has provided $2.35 million to the project, with the remaining $1.65 million being covered by Douglas College’s capital reserve, according to the re-

lease.

“Students need to spark their imaginations so they’re inspired to discover and excel, and that’s why we’re investing in libraries with the latest tech and design,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training, in the release.

“Libraries are places students come to re-energize and fuel their minds, so we want these learning spaces to be as supportive as possible. It’s all about making life better for students so every student can reach their full potential.”

The bulk of the work will be completed during the summer semester to “reduce the impact to students,” according to the college.

The project is expected to be complete in the fall.

In the meantime, services provided by the library and learning centre will be relocated within the New Westminster campus and Anvil Office Tower.

Vagabond Players Presents

Puzzle coming soon

The story of a taken-forgranted suburban mother with an unexpected talent for jigsaw puzzles is the March offering for Last Mondays at the Movies.

The Arts Council of New Westminster’s film series continues on Monday, March 25 with a screening of Puzzle, directed by Marc Turtletaub.

The film stars Kelly Macdonald (known as the voice of Merida in the Disney Pixar movie Brave) as Agnes, a housewife who has

reached her early 40s without ever venturing far from home, family or the tightknit immigrant community in which she was raised by her widowed father.That begins to change when Agnes receives a jigsaw puzzle as a birthday gift and discovers she has a gift for puzzles.

In pursuing her new hobby, she meets Robert (played by acclaimed Indian actor Irrfan Khan), a reclusive and wealthy inventor who recognizes her talent

and recruits her as his partner for an upcoming world jigsaw tournament.

Puzzle is adapted from the Argentine film Rompecabezas (Spanish for Puzzle) by writer-director Natalia Smirnoff.

It’s on screen at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m.

You can buy tickets in advance at www.ticketsnw.ca or pay cash at the door.

HALIBUT IS BACK.

Indigenous art on display An Indigenous artist’s exploration of her heritage is the foundation of the next exhibition at Amelia Douglas Gallery.

Chapan Snares Rabbits, featuring work by Michelle Sound, is on at the Douglas College gallery until April 20.

Chapan Snares Rabbits is a collection of nine pieces inspired by Sound’s heritage – she is Cree and Metis, and a member of the Wapsewsipi Swan River First Nation in Northern Alberta.The exhibition includes dyed deerhide drums painted with gouache and metallic paint, as well as other mixed-media works created with canvas, wood and acrylic paint.

“Chapan is a Cree word that means your greatgrandparents and also means your descendants,” Sound said in a press release. “My chapan was a midwife and healer who further supported her family with a trapline of rabbit snares. I am inspired by the many Indigenous women who continue to adapt, create and remain the backbone of our families and

communities.”

Sound completed her bachelor of fine arts degree at Simon Fraser University and her master of applied arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. She’s the current aboriginal program assistant at Emily Carr.

“Michelle Sound’s beautiful, thoughtful pieces function on a few levels: as expressions of family history and identity, as contemporary examples of traditional craft, and as explorations of the cultural and historical roles of both Indigenous

women and the craft materials themselves,” said Krista Eide, arts events officer at Douglas College, in the press release.

Amelia Douglas Gallery is on the fourth floor north at Douglas College’s New Westminster campus, 700 Royal Ave. It’s open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed Sundays).

“She evolved Fraserside’s practicum placement approach into a pipeline program to recruit and maintain volunteers and staff, and she developed the concept and infrastructure for Fraserside’s recruitment of Knowledge Philanthropists.

Under her leadership, Fraserside received the Not-ForProfit Business of theYear – Over $1 Million 2015 Platinum Award from the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce.”

Since taking on the role of Fraserside’s CEO in 2012, Edmonds has led Fraserside in the development of a strategic plan and helped create the infrastructure needed to measure and grow the agency.

“An experienced social worker and administrator, Lynda brings a unique combination of head and heart to her leadership of Fraserside Community Services Society,”Tamara Hunter, a member of Fraserside’s board, said in a press release.

“It is an honour and achievement for Fraserside

to have Lynda be selected as a nominee this year.”

According to a press release from Fraserside, Edmonds has led the nonprofit to sustainable fiscal management and culture change, while enhancing its grassroots mission to support Metro Vancouver’s vulnerable people.

Cellphones shouldn’t be banned in classrooms Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

I was trying to corral my kids into the car for school when I called out to my tween, “Leave your phone at home, please. No need to bring it to school,” to which she cooly replied, “I need it for class, mom; the teacher lets us use them for research.”

True or not, it felt as though my hands were tied.

I didn’t like the idea of her bringing a device, but I didn’t want her to fall behind in the classroom as a result.

According to Canadian Press, Ontario will be officially announcing a cellphone ban in all public school classrooms – starting in the 2019-20 school year – making it the first province in Canada to prohibit the use of cellphones during school time.

Many wonder if B.C. should follow suit.

Those for the new policy suggest the ban will have a positive impact on the classroom, stating the time spent behind desks should be focused solely on learning important instructional subjects such as reading, math and writing.

Those opposed believe cellphone use should be incorporated into the classroom lessons, teaching students important life skills and responsible use, as opposed to enforcing an allout ban.

I agree screen time has become an epidemic in today’s society, but I also believe screens are not something we can entirely avoid.

As a self-employed writer, editor and marketing consultant, my work days are spent almost entirely relying on screen time. From spreadsheets to Google docs to messaging apps to photo editing programs, my job wouldn’t exist without the technology that happens to also put a thorn in my side when it comes to monitor-

ing the time spent on the same devices by my tween.

Many schools spend the year raising funds to fill computer labs with muchneeded screens so students can learn from technology, so a ban on bringing those same screens from home, which could potentially serve the same purpose, seems contradictory.

I believe there’s such a thing as bad screen time (time-wasting video games and self-esteem-blowing social media platforms), but there’s also good screen time, which allows students to access an unlimited catalogue of research resources in the palm of their hands.

I say stop trying to take the devices away entirely and start teaching self-regulation and responsible use instead – in the real world, devices aren’t going away anytime soon.

Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor, and marketing consultant.

SALMONBELLIES

’Bellies up grit factor NewWest adds impact defender from Ontario Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Not overly big at six-feet tall and 170-pounds, Orangeville, Ont. native Jeff Henrick does play a lot larger.

And, according to New Westminster Salmonbellies general manager Dan Richardson, his play off the ball is something that will be a welcomed addition to the Western Lacrosse Association team.

“He’s tenacious on defence and I’ve heard a lot of great things about him,” said Richardson of the 21-year-old lefthander. “He’s got some grit and some toughness, and those were areas where we wanted to improve.”

Henrick, who wrapped up a five-year career with the storied Northmen franchise last summer, was the No. 1 overall pick at the recent Major Series Lacrosse draft, selected by the lowly Cobourg Kodiaks.

A third-year player at Ohio State, Henrick made a request to Cobourg for a transfer west, and New West was there to pick up the pieces.

“We followed the CLA (Canadian Lacrosse Association) transfer guidelines, which is player driven,” said Richardson. “(Henrick) went to Cobourg, (he got) permission to talk to teams and we reached an agreement.”

Last season, he tallied six goals and 10 assists over 20 games, while racking up 70 penalty minutes.

He also played on the Canadian team at the 2016 Under-19 World field lacrosse championships and is familiar with New West’s Logan Schuss.

“With the addition of Henrick and (Justin) Salt, we’ve really strengthened our defence.These guys are not complementary pieces, but impact players.”

Richardson also hinted at a possible agreement that will see the return of Pennsylvania-based Kevin Crowley to the offensive side.

The WLA season begins May 23 when Langley visits Queen’s Park Arena.

It was her older brother’s thing, and she just wasn’t enjoying the time submerged in the water.

But now when she emerges from a practice and looks to the future, the teen is glad that her parents got her started.

It’s leading Lau to the next big challenge, which is as a student-athlete at the University of Michigan.

“I actually highly disliked it when I was young, I was like five years old and I just kind of got into it because of my older brother (Xavier),” she recalls. “Whatever he was put in, I was put in as well. I at first didn’t like it, but I gradually started to get some results and I started falling in love when I was six or seven.”

Those results were just the tip of the iceberg, as Lau has charted a course nationally for a few years – including last year when she was a member of the Canadian junior swim team – and now internationally, when she embarks on the NCAA competition circuit.

She’s shown at various levels of meets that new frontiers are noth-

ing to worry about.

At the Ontario junior international meet last December, she registered the top Canadian time in the 400-metre freestyle, only trailing a trio from Britain. At the same meet, she won the 1500m free and scored silver in the 800m free, posting a faster second half than the winner.

The New West Secondary student has enjoyed a sharp six months in the pool, building on club records and her own national standing. In the Canadian long course rankings, Lau sits first in the 400-, 800- and 1500m freestyle events. She also holds the same three positions in the short course versions, as well, with a three-day meet in Toronto last December where she nailed down those times.

It’s a long way from when she finally caught the swimming bug, taking the plunge first with the Burnaby Barricudas and then the Burnaby Mountain Mantas summer clubs.

“I started seeing results, placing on the podium or personal best times and that was a lot of fun to see. As I progressed and swam older I started making national teams or swimming worldwide basically.”

It carried her to Fiji and Israel last summer as part of the Canadian junior team. She began by finishing ninth in the 800m free at the Junior Pan Pacific championships in Fiji, then competed in the 7.5kilometre 16-17 women’s open water event at the World Junior championships in Israel.

As you get older and wiser, you go from just training to training to win.

This year, she was presented with one of a handful Victor Davis Memorial Awards, including a $1,500 bursary, to recognize her accomplishments and impact in the pool.

As her Hyack Swim Club coach sees it, Lau has an ability to focus on exactly what she needs to get done in each race.

“She’s always been ranked highly (in Canada) in all her events, either at the top or top four.When you’re in that position of always being in the top, the outcome of the race

is different,” noted Mark Bottrill.

“You are expecting to win. As you get older and wiser, you go from just training to training to win. She has to take that next step, and that’s what (coaches at Michigan) will be working on.”

With a regimen that sees her hitting the pool 24 hours a week, 48 weeks of the year, dedication is obviously an asset. It’s going to be helpful as she shifts to a different world, with new coaches, new teammates and new challenges as a freshman with the Wolverines. “(A scholarship) is like such a big help for my family, and it’s been such a dream to swim down in the States, where I’m going,” she says.

“It’s been such a wild ride, with the help of the school and my family, and hopefully I’ll have a real good four years down there.”

She gives a lot of the credit to her coaches, Andrew Lennstrom and Bottrill with the Hyack club, on guiding her onto this competitive path.

“They really pushed me to train harder, to race harder, and I represented my country internationally and nationally. I just thank my coaches (Bottrill and Lennstrom) Continued on page 25

Royal City rinks place second For a pair of Royal City Curling Club rinks, the run for the roses ended up falling just short.

Two teams representing the New West club ended up second at the 2019 B.C. under-18 curling championships in Victoria last week.

Team Sato, coming off a gold medal win at the Canada Winter Games, were unable to stop Team Colwell of

Vernon, Kamloops and Invermere in a 9-4 decision in the boys final.

The Sato team includes skip Hayato Sato, third Joshua Miki, second Dawson Ballard and lead Troy Chong of Burnaby.

On the girls side,Team Taylor put in their best effort but were waylaid 10-2

by Kimberley’s Team Buchy in the u18 girls final.

The Royal CityTunnel Town joint team, which includes skip Jensen Taylor, third Meredith Cole, second Keira McCoy and lead Chelsea Taylor, traded points with their rivals until the fourth end when Buchy stole two and added five in the sixth to finish it.

Team Taylor posted an impressive come-from-behind 6-5 win to advance.

Continued from page 24 and both of them have been such a big help, not only with my swimming, but my private life as well.”

Bottrill, who has seen a lot of great swimmers hit the water over 31 years of coaching, anticipates the challenges of the NCAA, where she is joining the No. 2-ranked program in the nation, will not dissuade Lau from her goals.

“She likes to race and the NCAA pro-

grams have far more dual matches that Canadian universities.There’ll be more opportunities to compete.There’s going to be adversity, but she’s not one to shy away (from it),” Bottrill says.

That’s part of the excitement she’s anticipating, Lau says.

“It’s always a big challenge, but I’m up for it. It’s like, juggling school and swimming have been hard, but I’ll make do.”

WIGGINS, Walter George (Wally) On March 5, 2019 Wally- grandpa and friend passed away peacefully (at age of 90) at Royal Columbian Hospital, New Westminster. Wally was born in Dagenham, England on December 29, 1928. He immigrated to Canada in 1958 where he secured work in BC with the New Westminster Parks & Recreation Department until his retirement in 1990.

He enjoyed sports such as tennis and soccer. He loved children and volunteered at the Armstrong Elementary School Library where he was fondly referred to as the “Book Doctor”. He spent many years coaching children’s soccer and attended many of his grandchildren’s sporting events. He was an organized man of integrity, honesty and accuracy. He exercised his outstanding memory by solving crossword puzzles, reading volumes and memorizing peoples’ names. He grew up on Classical music, loved to attend symphonic concerts. He memorized many works and knew when the orchestra made mistakes. Wally will be greatly missed by relatives in England, friends, and

by Doreen and her children, Eric (Laura); Lita and grandchildren Calista, Eamon, Marina and Haley.

Praise for George Derby Centre In Praise of the George Derby Centre

by William Jenkins of Burnaby, BC. My wife, Claire Jenkins, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2006 and Alzheimer’s in 2014. Both diseases progressed to the point where I could not manage her care at home even with significant assistance from contract nurses and Fraser Health home services. On February 22nd, 2017, she was admitted to the George Derby Centre for long term care in Burnaby (GDC).

I attended Claire at the GDC daily except for one break in the summer of 2018. I was there from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. every day from mid-August 2018 until she died peacefully on March 13th, 2019, so I was able to observe the workings closely. For the two years that she lived at GDC, Claire received excellent care and I want to acknowledge this and thank the hundred or so staff members who looked after her in the Main North Wing. These GDC employees are dedicated, hard-working, qualified people who provide a cheerful, loving environment for the residents.

In a large facility housing 300 residents, there are many tasks to perform daily. The GDC is kept spotlessly clean, meals are cooked and served on time, care attendants are busy and attentive, nurses and doctors handle medical needs, several staff members lead activity or entertainment duties, volunteers assist where they can, and management holds it all together, keeping a sharp eye out and taking corrective action when any problem arises.

The staff members are both cheerful and loving.

I’m sure they take justifiable pride in their work.

Training and self-improvement are everyday functions.

In short, the BC Government and Fraser Health, the Board and Management of GDC should all be very satisfied with the services that the staff members at GDC provide. With the concern that a huge increase in the number of people who will need long term care will occur when the baby boomer generation matures, GDC’s structure and operations should be a model to be replicated across the province. The facility itself is bright, with many windows looking out on wooded areas. The rooms are small, of course, but are perfectly adequate.

In any case, this note of praise is intended to say thank you to the many people who helped Claire live at GDC for the past two years and to encourage the provincial government and Fraser Health to consider building more not-for-profit facilities to meet the coming need. %/*3%"(3*.+% & -)##)4!',5$)52104
