City Beat INVESTIGATIONS

Five New West cases remain unsolved Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The BC Coroners Service is looking for the public’s help identifying human remains found in NewWestminster dating back to 1978. There are currently just under 200 unsolved and active cases involving unidentified human remains in B.C., and five such cases in NewWestminster, according to the coroners service. The agency has now created an interactive map in hopes of generating new leads in the cases and one day closing the investigations. “By reaching out and engaging members of the public with the launch of this innovative tool, it’s our hope to gain new investigative leads that will lead to the identification of these unidentified individuals and bring closure to their families,” said Lisa Lapointe, chief coroner, in a press release. The map, which covers all of British Columbia, includes information on the nearly 200 unsolved cases involving unidentified human remains, with the earliest going all the way back to 1953. In NewWestminster, there are five outstanding cases of unidenti-

fied human remains, according to the information provided. They include: ! A 27-year-old Caucasian man. His remains were found on Oct. 3, 1978 along the edge of the Fraser River near the entrance to Sapperton Landing. Investigators believe he died six months before his body was found. He was five feet and seven inches tall. (case no. 1978-CFU-001). ! A woman between 30 and 50 years old. Her remains were found June 12, 1991, along the edge of the Fraser River between the SkyTrain bridge and the Pattullo Bridge, but investigators believe she could have been dead for up to a month before the discovery. She was five-feet, five-inches tall with black hair, and she was wearing a blue cardigan and pink sweater with a large eagle on the front and blue denim jeans, a buckled leather belt and size-eight running shoes. She had a scar on her wrist and had on a Cardinal watch and a stud earring with the head of a unicorn (case no. 19910225-0952). ! A man between 18 and 30 years old. His remains were found Feb. 1, 1978, on Front Street between Church and Fourth streets.

Investigators believe he died 20 to 50 years before his remains were discovered. He was between five feet and five feet and six inches tall (case no. 1978-CFU-003). ! A man between 18 and 35 years old. His remains were found in the Fraser River near the eastern tip of Annacis Island on July 20, 1990. Investigators believe he died one to five years before his body was found. He was five feet eight inches tall (case no. 19900223-1194). ! An Aboriginal-Asian man between 30 and 50 years old. His remains were found Aug. 15, 2001 in the Fraser River near the east end of Poplar Island. Investigators believe he died one to two weeks before the remains were found. He was between five feet three inches and five feet eight inches tall. He had one Coloradobrand beige fleece jacket, a beige T-shirt,Tip Top-brand grey T-shirt and Radizion-brand 34-inch black pants (case no. 2001-0216-0751). Anyone with information or questions about any of the investigations displayed on the interactive map is asked to contact the special investigations unit at BCCS.SIU@gov.bc.ca and to quote the file number provided.

New West seeks walking supremacy over Burnaby Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster and Burnaby are going toe to toe for a golden shoe in the Walk30 challenge. This year marks the second time the neighbouring cities have taken part in the Walk30 Burnaby/New West challenge to promote walking.The goal is to get people walking 30 minutes a day. “We have an official trophy now which is a spray-painted gold shoe that was on display at Anvil Centre because we were the proud owners. Now we have to defend our championship,” said Reena Meijer Drees, a member of the New Westminster Walkers Caucus. The challenge is divided into schools and community divisions – with the community winner selected on a per capita basis because New Westminster’s population is much less than Burnaby. During the five-week challenge, people track the number of minutes they walk, but there’s no need to walk long distances. “You get to choose which city you want your minutes to go to – Burnaby or New West,” said Meijer Drees. “You don’t have to live or work in these cities.We have got people who have signed up friends from across the country.” Officials from New Westminster

and Burnaby gathered for a media launch on Tuesday. “We’re proud to continue our support for Walk30,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote in a press release. “Walking is such as great way to get around, allowing people to get to know their community, to improve their health, and save money on transportation costs.” Between April 8 and May 10, registered participants will track and share their walking minutes

online. “Taking the steps toward a healthier lifestyle is a great move for personal health and helps keep the air clean, too,” Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley said in a press release. “I hope everyone finds a way to fit more walking into their days.” Last year, more than 3,200 people tracked nearly 700,000 minutes of walking over the five-week challenge, for an average of 27

minutes a day. Burnaby had about 2,388 participants who walked 324,402 minutes and New Westminster had about 874 participants who walked 362,198 minutes – with New West winning the Walk30 Challenge Cup. “The mayor of Burnaby is totally into it and wants to challenge,” said Meijer Drees. “This is going to be like a showdown between the politicians.” Aside from bragging rights,

Hurley issued another challenge to New Westminster at Tuesday’s launch, with the mayor of the “losing” city having to serve a meal at a location of the other’s choosing. “If New Westminster is successful, the mayor of Burnaby will be coming to serve a meal at the Union Gospel Mission. If Burnaby is successful, I will be serving lunch at the South Burnaby Neighbourhood House,” Cote told the Record. “It’s a fun challenge to get the mayors and the councils motivated to help promote the Walk30 challenge.” Schools, companies and organizations are invited to form classroom or staff teams and challenge other teams to see who can walk more. “It’s a great program. New Westminster is a very walkable community, but do sign up for the Walk30 challenge,” Cote urges residents. “I am quite confident New Westminster is a more walkable, friendly community, but I think we need to show our stuff. I am hoping New West residents can engage like they have in past years in this challenge and participate in the program.” For more information or to register for the Walk30 challenge, go to www.walkerscaucus.ca/ walk30-burnaby-newwest.

EXPO TUGGER REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT

CENTURY HOUSE ASSOCIATION THRIFT SALE

Starting the week of April 1st 2019, the Tugger Pilot House will be dismantled and removed to make way for a new play structure that will be installed between May and August, 2019. The current structure has reached the end of its life cycle due in part to structural corrosion. Staﬀ have collaborated with Contexture Design to develop a design concept for the replacement of the Tugger. The design concept is inspired by a tugboat hauling a large barge loaded with materials, a common sighting along on the Fraser River in New Westminster. The new design will continue to serve as a gathering place on the Riverfront, with enhanced play value for children. Project timelines are an estimate. For more information on the project, please visit our website at www.newwestcity.ca/expotugger or contact the City of New Westminster at 604-521-3711 or info@newwestcity.ca

MYTHBUSTER #1 – WALKING IS DANGEROUS Truth: The chance of getting hurt as a pedestrian is very low, with 4 injuries per 1,000,000 walking trips. This is lower than the chance of getting hurt as a driver or passenger (7 injuries per 1,000,000 driving trips). Walking can prevent diseases such as heart disease (48,681 deaths in Canada in 2012), stroke (13,174 deaths) and diabetes (6,993 deaths), all of which kill far more Canadians than pedestrian fatalities (396 deaths in Canada in 2012). Furthermore, there are many steps that you can take to be safer, such as wearing visible and reﬂective clothing, paying attention when you walk (no looking at your phone!) and making sure you have enough time to cross the street at intersections. More safety tips are available at the walking page on the City of New Westminster website: www.newwestcity.ca/walking

City SAFETY

New West police give out treats to good drivers Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Good drivers in New Westminster were in for a surprise Monday morning. New Westminster police officers were out patrolling the streets around École Herbert Spencer Elementary School, but, instead of targeting speeders, the officers were looking for drivers sticking to the 30-kilometreper-hour speed limit in front of the school. The initiative was part of a partnership between the New Westminster Police Department’s traffic unit and ICBC to help promote road safety as kids head back to school after spring break. Officers were stationed at Sixth Avenue and First Street with their radar guns watching for good drivers. When they spotted someone obeying the speed limits, they pulled them over for a little chat.

“Given it’s April Fool’s Day, we’re rewarding good drivers with $10 Starbucks gift cards,” Const. Curtis Heath told drivers before handing them the gift card. Many drivers were a little shocked to get pulled over before the officers told them why.The event was orga-

nized to help “reinforce safe driving habits and recognize those who strive to make the roadways safe,” according to a press release. ICBC provided the cards, with Starbucks chipping in some extra cards to show their support.

Opinion OUR VIEW

A tale of two New Westminster noise complaints

An interesting social experiment was played out recently on the Facebook page of the Record. We posted two letters to the editor – both dealing with noise complaints. One resident was upset about train noise from the rail yard at the waterfront. Another resident was upset about the noise from pile driving connected to Bosa Development’s Pier West project. One letter garnered sympathy and the other did not – at all.

Guess which one drew the least amount of sympathy? Yep, the letter about the train noise. People responded that the trains were there first and people shouldn’t be surprised they are noisy. That is technically accurate, but seems a little simplistic and cold-hearted. For one thing, people who have written to the Record about train noise say they understand they moved next to it and that noise is going to happen. But they also say the noise has got-

ten worse because the trains are left idling for excessive amounts of time. Many of the letters say all they want is a reduction in the amount of noisy idling. That seems like a reasonable request, but commenters are having none of it. By contrast, people’s complaints about pile-driving noise have been met with great sympathy. Those who live near the Pier West project are fed up with the constant banging at 660 Quayside Dr.

Council recently extended the hours Bosa is allowed to work as a way to speed up the pile driving. The city’s construction noise bylaw restricts construction activities that may create noise and negatively impact the community to be done between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturdays. Council granted Bosa an exemption from the construction noise bylaw, which will allow work to be done between 8 and 11 p.m. Monday to Friday

and 6:01 and 8 p.m. on Saturdays until April 13. This exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw will allow Bosa to do pile driving using the vibratory hammering system and preparation work along the riverfront – but it won’t allow the use of the noisier type of pile driving – impact pile driving – after 8 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The city has received complaints from downtown residents about noise and vibration from the die-

sel-impact pile driving, light intrusion and construction work being done outside permitted hours.The city has issued the company with nine bylaw offence notices for work done in violation of city bylaws – five for working outside permitted hours and four for light intrusion. Hopefully the noisiest work will be over soon at Pier West. As for people who live near the railyard, they seem to be out of luck – and sympathy from the public.

MY VIEW JOE FOY

Chief Ahan worthy of school name In the early days of the SecondWorldWar, Britain was the last European democracy left to face the Nazis.The others had fallen to Hitler’s armies or chosen to stay neutral. Churchill sought to give hope and courage to his people when he said these true words: “Nations that went down fighting rose again, but those who surrendered tamely were finished.” I think of Churchill’s words when I think of the Tsilhqot’in Chief Ahan. When Ahan and the other Tsilhqot’in chiefs went to war in 1864, their nation was in an even tighter bind than Churchill. In 1862, a devastating smallpox epidemic, brought to FortVictoria by an influx of miners from San Francisco seeking Fraser River gold, had swept up the coast and along mountain trade trails into the Tsilhqot’in villages - decimating the population. Gold had been found first in the Fraser Canyon in 1858 and then later in what would become the mining boom town of Barkerville. By 1864, the heavily armed foreign miners had swarmed into the territory. When a road crew began clearing a second access into the territory via Bute Inlet and the Homathko River, it set them on a collision course with Ahan and the other chiefs who subsequently went to war. Ahan could not rain down fire bombs on the towns of his opponents as Churchill did. Nor did Ahan and the other chiefs have a vast army at their command.They fought with old muskets, knives and hatchets.Their

small army included halfstarved women and kids – survivors of smallpox. Nonetheless, they stood and fought for their country. And when the colonial government got a hold of them through dishonourable means, Ahan and the other chiefs were not treated as leaders of an opposing country come to negotiate the peace. Instead they were hanged – a heinous act that B.C. and Canada have now apologized for. It is no coincidence that the Tsilhqot’in people in a landmark ruling have recently become the first First Nation in B.C. to take back title to a portion of their country. And they are working to get the rest of their country back no matter how long it takes. And it’s also no coincidence that the language of Chief Ahan is still spoken in Tsilhqot’in communities – no small feat when the terrible purpose and impact of the colonial government’s residential schools are understood. It seems Churchill was right – those nations that go down fighting are the first to rise again. If the Tsilhqot’in would allow us in the old colonial seat of power, New Westminster to name our school after Chief Ahan - a war hero who was unjustly hanged in our town - we would be fortunate indeed. We can only hope that they will have mercy on us and allow us to do so. In this way, may we be better able to reflect on the true nature of our past and hope for a better future. Joe Foy is a NewWestminster resident.

Police create own trading cards

Got it, got it, need it, got it. New Westminster police jumped on the trading card bandwagon, planning a series of cards that would feature its officers. Like hockey or baseball cards, they were to include a photo and information, like the officer’s assignment and their favourite sport.The cards also included a safety message. “Kids get to know you, and you get to know them. It’s a positive tool to bring us closer together,” said Const. Bruce Ballingall, the officer in charge of coordinating the cards.The first officers to get cards were Const. Gwen Ranquist and Const. George Charpentier. Getting cards for the whole department was expected to cost $2,000.

Chief Ahan a poor choice Editor: Re: School naming will reflect inclusion, diversity: trustees, Record, March 28 As the New West school board decides on a process to evaluate school naming proposals, I would like to suggest that Chief Ahan is a questionable candidate for such an honour. The chief was one of six who decided 150 years ago that a road being built across their territory was sufficient provocation to declare war and then kill 19 innocent non-combatants. The chiefs knew that murder was then a hanging offence. The suggestion that their surrender was induced by false promises of immunity may raise questions about colonialist honour, but it does not change the fact that chief’s conduct was, to say the least, not of the sort which we usually honour. Yes, I know, several politicians have apologized for the hanging of the chiefs, and absolved them of any crime. Let me gently suggest that this attempt to reverse history was driven less by legal considerations than by political ones. Richard Estey, New Westminster

Keep NWSS name Editor: Why change the name of New West Secondary School at all? It already reflects inclusion in its student body. It has had previous changes to its name, from Vincent Massey (grades 7-9), Lester Pearson (grades 10-12) to New West Secondary in 1967. Why another one? It seems that many of our neighbouring Lower Mainland secondary schools don’t object to a

school name that reflects its city or location. I would like to see New Westminster’s school keep its name. Loree Baker, New Westminster

Park being ruined

Editor: Last year, I wrote the open letter for you regarding my concerns that changes would destroy the natural look of our beautiful Glenbrook Ravine Park. When I contacted the parks department of the City of New Westminster, they told me that no trees would be moved. For many years, I was enjoying walking around our tiny, beautiful Glenbrook Ravine Park, as it was the last park in New Westminster that looks like a natural one. Lots of trees, shrubs and birds. Moody Park and Queen’s Park do not have this natural look and it’s overcrowded with people. So, as the weather improved, I walked to the Glenbrook Ravine Park and could not believe my eyes - somebody did such an improvement: removed all plants, covered the ground, logged three big trees, removed some shrubs and cut the bottom branches of the trees around the lovely pond so dogs and kids have now full access to the water to chase and annoy all wildlife in the pond. So what will be next? Plastic grass? Metal trees? Or a highrise in the park? Why is it allowed for dogs to swim in the pond? I hope the parks department will install a railing around the pond to protect the wild life living in the pond: ducks, turtles, frogs and fish. And I hope they will stop to destroying the last tiny areas in New Westminster with a natural look. Olga Savchuk, New Westminster

City COURT

Suit alleges couple owes $100K to New West senior Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

A 94-year-old former NewWestminster citizen of the year is suing a Mission couple for $100,000 to recover what she alleges are unpaid loans. Mona Forsyth was the coordinator of the NewWestminster food bank and recognized for her longtime volunteer work with a Citizen of theYear Award in 2009. In a notice of civil claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Forsyth says Jodi Jones and Iain Slark asked to borrow money and that she lent them $50,000 in July 2017 and another $50,000 three months later. Both amounts were repayable on demand, according to Forsyth’s claim, but Jones and Slark have refused to pay her back. The couple, however, maintains both $50,000 payments were a gift. Forsyth and Jones were

“very close friends having a relationship resembling that of a grandmother and granddaughter,” according to the couple’s response to the civil claim, and Forsyth had offered to give her $50,000 to help her buy a home. Forsyth had then signed a note saying the money was a gift “and will never have to be repaid,” according to the couple’s version of facts. When it was discovered

Jones and Slark’s home needed extensive renovations before they could move in, Forsyth had offered to give them another $50,000, they said. “At no time material to this action did the plaintiff advance any funds to the defendants on the condition that such funds were to be repaid,” states the couple’s response to civil claim. None of the allegations has been proven in court.

The 15-year-old realized she adored singing at the age of four, when she could sing all the words to Disney’s High School Musical. “I would just be singing all the time around the house, annoying everybody,” said Thomas.

Then, on April 24, it’s the season finale of The Dive, the sitcom-inspired show that features Al Lafrance, Morris Bartlett, Allison Melech and Devon More as four oddball characters who gather at their favourite bar. Way Off-Broadway Wednesdays shows start at 7 p.m., and doors to the back room open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is on a pay-whatyou-want basis (except for the Story Slam, which has $5 entry), and reservations are recommended at 604759-0819.

Community PARENTING

Don’t forget to talk to your sons about consent, too Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I turned on Thursday night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy (titled: Silent All TheseYears), I anticipated the usual tear-jerking storyline that can be expected each week from the hit drama TV series - the relationship woes and medical mishaps of the show’s main characters. This episode focused on a standalone story that reached beyond the usual script –tackling a sensitive subject and leaving a lasting impact on the viewers, writers and even producers of the show. Taking a three-pronged approach, the episode addresses the topic of consent and sexual assault.The spotlight shone specifically on a stunning scene where a team of female doctors and nurses literally stand together to support a sexual assault victim around, but there was another scene that stuck with me long after the credits rolled. Early on in the episode, Bailey and Ben discover that their son Tuck has just started dating and through various hints in the dialogue, the audience anticipates

“the talk” to occur and to be of the usual “the birds and the bees.” In the memorable scene, Ben and his stepson Tuck are sitting together at a cafe counter, sipping on sodas and biting into burgers, when Ben asks Tuck if he knows about consent and what it means.When Tuck shrugs his shoulders and tries to answer the question, Ben responds with an explanation that resonates equally with the boy in the

If she says time out, you time out. scene and the parents who are watching from the other side of the screen. Ben begins with an anecdotal sports scene. He explains how during a game, the players will be going at it, but when the whistle is blown and a time out occurs, no matter how into the game they are, all play stops. He explains, “No matter how much fun they’re having, everything stops,” and then Ben says, “If she says time out, you time out. No questions asked.That’s consent.” He follows that with,

“She can change her mind at any time. It’s game over,” explaining that the moment she stops having fun, the fun must stop. As my oldest approaches her teen years, I’ve been careful to caution her about consent, sharing the steps she should take to avoid potentially dangerous situations – not to be afraid to say “No!” or “Stop!” – to always go to the bathroom with a friend, and to make sure that she listens to her gut when it comes to interacting with her peers in social settings. I keep the conversation open and ongoing because I want to do my best to keep her safe. But what I realized after watching this episode was that I should be having ongoing conversations with my son about consent as well. Whether it’s explaining how to get consent, how to stand up to those who are harassing others, or how to say “No!” in uncomfortable situations, the consent talk is one that we should be having with all of our kids – not just our daughters.

Community Reduce, reuse, upcycle at this new weekend market Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestreocrd.ca

New West residents have a chance to support community and sustainability through reuse at a new market taking place this weekend. Sari Stenerson is organizing this Saturday’s Reuz market, which is a swap meet with a reuse focus.The

sale will feature a variety of vintage items, clothing and household goods, as well as upcycled items including coffee thermos/water bottle slings and cutlery cases made from upcycled clothing and fabric. “There are so many items that people are throwing away,” said Stenerson, a New West resident. “There are people who need a ven-

ue to buy things. It’s just to make less waste.That’s how my idea came about.” Reuz is on Saturday, April 6 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at École Glenbrooke Middle School, 701 Park Cres. Admission is $2 (free for kids 12 and under.) A bottle drive being held at the entrance to the market is raising funds for the Down Syndrome Research

Foundation. “All the bottle collection money that they raise goes towards the Down Syndrome Research Foundation,” Stenerson said. “When you bring your bottles, you get a free admission ticket.” The market will feature more than 20 tables of thrifted and upcycled items, including two social enter-

prise vendors that hire people with barriers to make upcycled products. “One of them is called the Common Thread.They are in Vancouver.They make products from commercial castoffs like banners in the city and extra fabric.They help employ people who have language or work barriers,” Stenerson said. “There is also anoth-

er vendor that is a social enterprise in the Philippines – they make jewelry out of magazines, leather and stuff like that.” One More Time, a New West-based charity that provides food and emergency kits to homeless people in the Lower Mainland, will be raising funds for its programs by selling items at one of the tables.

UNCORKED

WHAT’S HAPPENING? The 12th annual BC Uncorked is taking place on Saturday, April 6 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Anvil Centre. The festival’s main focus is to showcase B.C. wineries and the local food scene. WHAT IS BC UNCORKED? Attendees aged 19 and older will be able to enjoy wine samples and foods samples from participating vendors. More than 250 wines from over 55 B.C. wineries and light appetizers from more than a dozen restaurants, caterers and food companies will be available for sampling. Spit buckets and water jugs (to rinse your glass) will be provided. “The guests that attend are food and wine lovers,” said organizers in an email to the Record. “Some of them are new to this world, but quite a few are experienced tasters who are excited to attend and essentially take a

tour of some of the best B.C. wineries in one evening.” Tickets are $75 and include admission, light appetizers and wine samples. WHY ANVIL CENTRE? The festival has been held at venues in Port Moody and Coquitlam in the past, but has outgrown each of those locations. Organizers selected Anvil Centre because of its central location and proximity to SkyTrain, which allows the event to broaden the demographic and attract guests from around the Lower Mainland and provide them with a great “safe ride home” option. ARE THERE ANY OTHER NEW WEST CONNECTIONS TO THE EVENT? Sure thing. Pacific Breeze Winery, which is located right here in New West, is one of the wineries taking part in the event. Local food companies participating

include the Boathouse restaurant, El Santo, Paddlewheeler Pub, Piva Modern Italian and Truffles Fine Foods. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW? BC Uncorked, which is being produced by West Coast Experiences, is supporting the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation in a number of ways. “The arrangement we have with the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation includes a number of on-site initiatives hosted by their team such as a wine wall auction, silent auction and 50-50 draw. One-hundred per cent of the funds from those initiatives go to RCHF,” said an email from West Coast Experiences. “In addition, we also have an arrangement for a portion of door ticket sales to be donated to the RCHF.” I’M SOLD – WHERE DO I SIGN UP? Tickets and information about BC Uncorked are available at www. bcuncorked.com.

Dark comedy at Bernie Legge The Vagabond Players are sinking their teeth into a dark comedy in April. The theatre company is presenting Detroit, by Lisa D’Amour, onstage at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park from April 6 to 27. The play is set in a suburb outside a city that might be Detroit, where suburban couple Ben and Mary see signs of life at the deserted house next door and invite their new neighbours, Sharon and Kenny, over for a barbecue. As the action unfolds, we learn that Sharon and

Kenny met at rehab, that they’re both unemployed and that they don’t own a stick of furniture. But Ben and Mary’s nice white house and backyard filled with the accoutrements of the good life conceal a different story: Ben has lost his job as a loan officer and is starting a new job, ironically with a website that helps people in debt. Mary works as a paralegal but doesn’t earn enough to pay the bills. “With so much distress simmering under the surface, the quintessential American backyard party

turns into something more dangerous – and full of potential,” says a press release. Natalie Schreiber and Kurtis Maguire star as Mary and Ben, with Ashley Chodat and Alex Ross as Sharon and Kenny.Warren Johnson returns to the Vagabond stage after many years with an appearance as Uncle Frank.The production is directed by Jeremy Heynen. Tickets are $17, or $15 for seniors and youth, with $12 previews on April 4 and 5. See www.vagabond players.ca or call 604-5210412.

Community Howay spring fair raises big bucks for the PAC Cayley Dobie CLASS ACT

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The F.W. Howay Elementary School parent advisory council raised a whopping $550 at its recent spring fair. The fourth annual event was held on Saturday at River Market. Student crafters and community members alike were welcome to rent a table to sell their

goods. “We had a great day,” PAC member Garry Self wrote in an email to the Record. “This year, we had 20 vendors, 14 were local home-based businesses and six of them were Howay students and their families.” One of the students, eight-year-old Gage Whitfield, was at the fair selling handmade street hockey balls, which he’s called G Street Hockey Balls, Self added.

The money raised is used by the PAC to help pay for events and programs for kids at Howay. (See photos from the fair online at newwestrecord. ca.) RAISE THAT MONEY! The parent advisory council at Lord Kelvin Elementary School is trying to raise money to buy and build a swing set for the school and community atlarge.

“Currently we have no swings available, the only ones in the neighbourhood are toddler swings at Moody Park. Swings are great ways for children to learn about physics and body awareness. Some find swinging very soothing,” Kelvin PAC chair Quinn Phoenix wrote in an email to the Record. The PAC needs to raise $6,000 to get the swings and so far they’ve got $2,200. They’ve planned two up-

coming events to try and get to their goal. Buck-a-bag Book Sale: Friday, April 12 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Book donations can be dropped off at the school between 3 and 4:30 p.m. before April 11. Spaghetti Dinner and Dance: an all-inclusive event for the whole community. It’s happening Friday, April 26 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. (dinner is served until 7 p.m.) in the school gym and tickets are $3.There will be a

DJ, door prizes and a raffle. The PAC is looking for donations of all sorts (prizes, volunteer hours, etc.) Anyone interested in lending a hand can email Phoenix at qtphoenix@hotmail.com. Tickets are on sale now. Is your school or PAC planning a fundraiser and looking for community support? Have education-related news or announcement to share?

(The originally announced date of Feb. 23 was changed as it conflicted with a celebration of life for longtime New Westminster arts promoter Tony Antonias.) The workshop will give participants a chance to explore the power of writing about the significant places in their lives and to create poetry that explores important locations in their lives and in the community. “Maybe that important place is your local park, store, café or historic site, or maybe it is a place that is much more personal to you,” says a write-up about the workshop. Hill, who is the Royal City Literary Arts Society’s president, is the author of The Narrow Road to the FarWest:Travelling NewWestminster by Postcard, a book of poems about locations in and around New Westminster. The session costs $15 for Royal City Literary Arts Society members and $25 for non-members. The workshop is in Room 417 at the Anvil

Leona Green may not be able to walk on water – but she’s got a knack for improving the lives of folks from all walks of life. The NewWestminster resident is set to receive a B.C. Community Achievement Award, which celebrate British Columbians who go above and beyond in their dedication and service to others and who devote time and energy to making their communities more caring, dynamic, beautiful, healthy and unique.The province established the B.C. Achievement Foundation in 2003 to celebrate excellence in community service, enterprise, arts and humanities. “What doesn’t she do?” said former city councillor LorrieWilliams, who nominated Green for the award. “I wrote in one of the letters that she helps hospitals, animals, the homeless, sports teams, church groups – the only thing she doesn’t do is walk on water.”

“I don’t feel like I really deserve it,” Green said of the award. “The things I do, I do because I can. For instance, I donate soup to the shelters – but I make six kinds of soup a day.What’s it to make a seventh? And I deliver it there, but it’s on my way home. I am not going out of my way. I go to Guatemala every year to help the dogs, but I am lucky that I have a friend there who has a house there. I am lucky I can help the dogs down there the way I do because I have such wonderful customers.” Aside from December when tips left at Greens and Beans go to staff, money left in tip jars at the deli go to various charities. “We do a lot of stuff, but I couldn’t do it without having the deli and without having such wonderful customers,” Green said. As part of her nomination package,Williams also gathered letters of support from various groups Green has supported and community leaders, including the mayor, the police chief and the

Brick & Mortar closing doors Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The well-known New Westminster home décor boutique Brick & Mortar Living is closing its doors after seven years in the city. Jenn Pistone and her daughters Julia Dewhurst and Emma Nash opened the store at 42 Begbie St. on May 1, 2012, selling locally

We tried valiantly to ﬁnd a space ... made goods including jewelry, home décor, gifts, trinkets, wedding goods and art. The women announced lastWednesday in a post on social media they will be closing the store for good on May 1. “We’re pretty convinced that we have the most loyal customers in the Lower Mainland. Closing our shop

was not an easy decision to make, we want you to know that,” read the announcement. Brick & Mortar Living has been at its current location at 42 Sixth St. for nearly three years. Before that, they were at 52 Sixth St., a location they left in October 2016, when the building’s developer, Citypoint Developments, wanted to set up a sales and presentation centre for its 33-storey, mixeduse tower proposal for 618 Carnarvon St. Challenges finding a secure and affordable location is one of the reasons Brick & Mortar has decided to close its doors.To continue operating, the owners would need to restructure the business “in order to keep up with the rising costs of running a ‘Brick & Mortar’ shop in this beautiful and developing city.” “We tried valiantly to find a space that would work for our unique business and unfortunately, we came up short. Although we

really good people.” While Brick & Mortar Living will officially close on May 1, the closure doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the business altogether. The owners said they hope to return one day, once they’ve collected their thoughts. “If fate should have it, we will be back,” they wrote.

ASK A LICE SPECIALIST

Q A

What are the signs or symptoms of head lice?

Some people may have lice and no symptoms at all. For most people though, these are what people notice most: 1. Itchy head and scalp. This is the skin’s reaction to the bites. For some it might be barely SAEA VIVIAN noticeable, for others it is hard to miss. 2. Tickling feeling in the hair. If you feel movement in your hair, it could be lice. BUT, if you’ve already had a “lice encounter”, your mind will always jump to this, even if it’s just the wind outside. 3. More noticeable at night. At night, we’re resting so the lice aren’t being disturbed. If you have lice, you will likely notice it more at night. 4. Sores on the head. These are caused by scratching and can sometimes become infected. If you do have lice, best to deal with it quickly.

Now that spring has arrived, many of us are looking to get back out on the water paddling. In addition to ensuring that our boat and safety equipment are working and ready, JIM GOVETT we need to make sure our bodies are also prepared for paddling. Kayakers and canoers are at risk of suffering shoulder dislocations, rotator cuff injuries, back and other injuries if they are not adequately ﬁt. Strength of the core, back, arms and legs are all important in preventing injuries. Flexibility of the trunk, and hamstrings will allow paddlers to reach the correct postures, and reduce stress on their bodies.

ASK A DENTURIST

Q A

Can I sleep in my dentures?

Denturists normally advise that you do not sleep in your dentures. Removing your dentures at night gives your gums and bone a chance to rest, relax, and breathe from the pressure of the denture during the day. If you have remaining teeth on PATRICK MARCELO the opposing jaw to your dentures, your denturist may recommend that you keep your denture in at night to prevent damage. You should never wear your dentures 24 hours a day without preforming proper oral hygiene. Gently massaging your oral tissues after removing your denture helps to promote blood ﬂ ow which in turn keeps your tissues healthy. Dentures should be cleaned at night and stored in water overnight night to keep the acrylic in the best shape possible and to prevent bacteria accumulation and growth.

PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT CENTRE OF B.C. Learning disability is one of the most common diagnoses made by registered psychologists who work with school-aged children. It is an invisible disability that can affect children of all ages, languages, and levels of cognitive ability, including those who are exceptionally intelligent (gifted). Learning disability begins as a problem in one area (remembering sounds that go with letters, difficulty reading words). This can branch into other areas, such as difficulty learning or retrieving math facts. About 50% of students with a reading disability (dyslexia) also have a math disability (dyscalculia). Most of these students struggle with a weak working memory and have poor organization skills. Collectively these challenges affect academic self-esteem, focus, attention and new learning. Reading, writing and math disabilities can emerge later in middle and high school, and sometimes university. The challenge of learning increases with the shorter time limits, more complex text and demands for faster reading and writing. The higher task demands can bring about anxiety and doubt about abilities and performance. By grade 3 and through to university, the signs for a learning disability are obvious: reading disability students are not able to sound out or read words or have slow word reading, spelling is poor and written expression is affected. In math disability - students are not able to commit math facts to long term memory and cannot find the correct response to very basic math. They mix up steps in multistep operations and use immature finger counting strategies similar to younger children. Undiagnosed and untreated learning disability leads to significant life-long problems with learning, low self-esteem and increased anxiety, depression, and school drop-out. Love Learning Psychoeducational Centre of BC (Lovelearningpacbc.com) can transform your child’s learning from a doubtful worrier to a student who loves learning. Once assessed, if there is a need, your child will be able to access the specialized materials, instruction, strategies, and technology your child is entitled to under the B.C. Special Education Ministry guidelines for students with learning disabilities/giftedness/intellectual disability. We offer 8 - session mindfulness group to reduce school-related anxiety and improve focus.

ASK A REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Q A

When is the best time for children to begin to learn to read and do math?

Over 38 states have mandatory screening for reading disability or dyslexia in kindergarten. Kindergarten is an excellent time to screen children for reading disability (dyslexia) MAUREEN MACKINNON- or math disability (dyscalculia). Targeted evidence-based instruction in sound/letter MCQUARRIE, PH.D. awareness, counting procedures and number sense can start right away with fun games and activities. This is much better than waiting until grade 3 to ﬁnd out that your child cannot read or perform math. Kindergarten and grade 1 is a “sensitive learning period” where kids respond rapidly to evidence-based instruction in phonological awareness, the rules of counting and number sense, more so than any other time. Early instruction in literacy and numeracy closes the gap for kids who start school with no exposure prior to school entry and improves reading in all children, including those with English as a second language.

Community Where are the urban salmon hiding? He knows Photographer-biologist will share the results of his urban salmon research in a talk Saturday at Fraser River Discovery Centre Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An international biologist, photographer and storyteller is coming to New West this weekend to share the results of a three-year effort to determine where the salmon are hiding in Metro Vancouver. While wild, Pacific salmon are often in the news these days, one of the reasons Fernando Lessa undertook the Urban Salmon Project was to document the wide range of salmonids that are living in Metro Vancouver. “My overall goal was to create awareness for the salmon,” he said in a press release. “I’m passionate about the freshwater environment, and when I realized that most people were not aware of how close salmon are to us, I decided I

had to do something.” As part of the project, Lessa visited more than 25 creeks and rivers in West and North Vancouver,Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and Langley. Five species of salmonids – Chinook, Sockeye, Pink, Coho and Chum – were found in our local waters. “As usual, I started this project with online research – finding the story of the places, historical and updated information, those kinds of things,” he said. “Then before actually coming to the water, I visited the locations and checked out hazards, access points, etc. to be sure I will be able to get what I want. Once I was happy, I came back with my diving gear and camera. I was very lucky to have support and help by many streamkeeper groups.” Lessa documented all of

these salmon species and other amazing underwater life in more than 200 photographs, many of which are included in a coffee table book he’s produced to commemorate the project. Copies will be for sale at his presentations and online at www.urbansalmon.com/ book. “The book was an important way to get the story registered and maybe reach some people that are not used to getting information online,” he said. “As well, I think that the pleasure of flicking through a book will never be matched by the internet, so I wanted people to have the same enjoyment I had exploring the Metro Vancouver waters.” Lessa is now sharing the results of the Urban Salmon Project with communities and groups around Metro Vancouver.

Our urban neighbours: Wild Pacific salmon often make headlines, but few understand the wide range of salmonids in Metro Vancouver. Fernando Lessa wants to change that with the Urban Salmon Project.

Lessa will be speaking about his project on Saturday, April 6 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the Fraser River Discovery Centre, 788 Quayside Dr. Attendance to the event is included with

admission to the centre. “We are very excited to have Fernando join us,” said Stephen Bruyneel, Fraser River Discovery Centre’s director of external relations and development. “Wild

Kell nets curling gold

Newcomer finds success in first sweep of the rink Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Four previous attempts reaped a lot of great memories and a bronze medal. A few weeks with a broom brought home the gold for Sam Kell. It’s just part of the crazy world of sports. The fifth-year student at Douglas College capped a tremendous collegiate athletic career as a member of the Royals women’s curling team, which captured the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national title two weeks ago in Fredricton, NB. Kell, 23, could honestly say she didn’t see it coming, having never curled prior to the provincial championship earlier this year, when the team knocked off Camuson College for the right to represent B.C. While she knew which end of the rock was up, Kell professes she was a raw rookie when it came to playing the game. “One of my friends curls and she goes to Douglas. She’s wanted to get a team going at Douglas for a long time. … They needed a fourth so she asked if I wanted to try it. I said, ‘OK, I’ve never curled before but I’m willing to try – long as you know I’m here to have fun.’They just needed a body,” she recalled. “It was another chance to possibly go to another nationals, so how could I turn that down.” That the team, which was ably led by skip Kayla MacMillan, third Patty Wallingham and second Sarah Loken, had the components to challenge for a title wasn’t in doubt. But getting someone who could contribute and not be a drag on their performance was vital. Cue Kell. “The first game I was a little bit nervous at provincials, a little jittery but not overly nervous. I didn’t have anything to lose. Just go out and try my best, I made a couple of shots there and it was good,” she said. “The team was fantastic – the Continued on page 32

WOMEN’S SOCCER

New West’s gold run halted by Delta Shorthanded Rush unable to extend Cup string to a sixth championship Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There’s no doubt they had the try and the desire. The New Westminster Rush just didn’t have enough bodies, when it came right down to it. The Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Classic 2 powerhouse Rush suffered their first loss in a Cup final on Sunday, falling 2-1 to Delta United. It ends a five-year win streak in the title match, where the squad had a strong track record of rising for the challenge to bring home the hardware.

“It was a hard pill to swallow, considering how hard the team played,” remarked New West coach Gord de Graaf. “Losing sucks at any level.You get a taste of winning and you want it to go on forever.” When the two teams met early in the regular season, the Rush were without their starting goalkeeper and only had nine players on the field, resulting in a 2-0 win for Delta. Although they had the numbers, New West was without one of its key leaders – Liz Porter – as well as another starter serving a red card suspension from the previous game. The Rush got on the board first,

thanks to Kelly Di Stefano’s teamleading 14th goal of the season. New West, which finished second during the regular season with a 9-2-2, one-point back of first place Abbotsford and tied with Delta, held the lead entering the second half.That’s when the game changed course. De Graaf said it all came unraveled after Delta tied it, and his team seemed to run out of gas. “We were gassed,” he said. “When you’re missing key drivers it’s hard enough.The sun came out, it warmed up and I thought it was going to be tough to get the jump back.”

The Rush have been a power in the Div. 2 circuit since making the jump from Div. 3 a handful of years ago. Founded by a bunch of New West Secondary grads looking to stay connected, the team has demonstrated heart and talent in establishing a mini-dynasty. “You don’t have to push them. They have an amazing work ethic and really gelled from the first moment they came together,” said de Graaf. “I hope the entire team is back next year, because I know they want to get back (to the final) again.”

Sutton plants notches extra-end win in club ﬁnal

Team Sutton brought the hammer and nail in their arsenal for the B.C. Club Challenge championship in Abbotsford last weekend. Team Sutton, a men’s team from Royal City Curling Club, captured the tourney title, emerging from a 12-team battle over three days. It was the 20th anniversary of the competition,

which previously was combined with the Pacific International Cup (PIC). Team Sutton, which features third Will Sutton, skip Cody Johnston, second Bruce Currie and lead Christopher Summers, were declared champions after a close 6-5 extra-end win over Delta’s Team Klitch.

Meanwhile, two Royal City rinks are preparing for next week’s AMJ Campbell Van Lines B.C. Mixed Curling championships in Vancouver. Steve Kopf’s rink captured the No. 1-berth during the Family Day playdown. Also in the competition is the Nicholas Umbach rink.

Curling newcomer celebrates team win Continued from page 31 coach (Katie Witt) was amazing. She was very positive the whole time, my teammates were very patient and taught me the whole way through – once I got something they’d push me to try something new.” Douglas began the nationals in a 0-2 hole, having struggled with jet lag and getting accustomed to the New Brunswick ice. On the second day, things came together. They went on a roll that didn’t end until the final, where against Alberta’s champion they found themselves deadlocked 3-3 after six ends.The Royals broke the stalemate and walked away 7-5 victors. Kell, who is working towards becoming an elementary school teacher, says her athletic past – which also includes three trips to ringette nationals – was definitely a benefit. “I like to think I pick up sports pretty well, but I never thought I’d be picking up a sport and go straight to nationals.That’s pretty crazy. “I think just being part of a

team and having that competitive drive still. Knowing how to communicate with people and know when to have fun – I think I brought an element of fun to the team, just with nothing to lose kind of thing. Usually I’m a lot more focused and intense with my sports. It was a case where I was just relaxed and had some fun with it.” Getting a gold medal – to accompany the bronze she picked up with the Douglas women’s soccer team in 2016 – was icing on the cake. “To finish my CCAA career with a gold is a perfect way to sum up everything.Yeah, I didn’t put a lot of time in this particular sport, but I had put in a lot of time in everything else, so it was a long time coming for me. It was a nice conclusion for my career, I think.” A three-year captain of the women’s soccer team who is up for female athlete of the year, Kell is revelling in the moment. “I definitely don’t think I’ll be very competitive in (curling) anymore.This is a pretty good place to retire on.”

United on a roll YALETOWN

Lincoln Gunning put the spring in the United Rugby Club’s step last week, scoring a try and converting five others as his squad powered past Cowichan 60-12 in Div. 1 action last week at Hume Park. Gunning had his hand in a lot of the

offence, with Jacob Collins collecting a pair of tries. Also crossing the tryline were Cain Beebe, Ian Gill, Joseph Patko, Gianmarco Petrozzi, Hans Stander, Chris Turenne and Bruce Wong.

PISKORIK, John May 15, 1931 - March 26, 2019 With great sadness we announce the passing of John Piskorik on March 26, 2019. John was a man of great integrity and warmth, who was proud of his many accomplishments as a Chartered Accountant and Rotarian. He will be greatly missed by his loving and caring wife Marie-Helene Fekete-Piskorik, step-children Rose Gutenberg (Tony), Michael Fekete (Kelly); grandchildren Emily, Sarah, Olivia, Lucas, Spencer and Micah; nieces Tamara Piskorik and Jayne Eyford; nephews Randi Piskorik, Robert Piskorik, Brian John Piskorik and Paul Dagnolo; and great-niece Kyra Dutton-Piskorik. John was born in Powell River, British Columbia, the eldest of 3 children. He was predeceased by his first wife Eva (Dagnolo), his second wife Maria (Praslicka), his brothers Michael and Steve, his step-daughter Anne Shannon (Fekete), and his niece Teri Meyer (Piskorik). John was raised in New Westminster and attended JC Trapp Technical School. Following his studies at UBC, John joined the accounting firm Touche Ross & Co and subsequently co-founded Piskorik, Baker and Zacher, in Langley. He retired from BDO Dunwoody in 1993. John was a charter member of The Rotary Club of Langley Central, and a board member of the St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation and the Normanna Care Home. Postretirement, John returned to New Westminster where he enjoyed spending time with his family and daily walks with close friends. John was passionate about his walking group, the New Westminster Walkers, and cherished the many friendships that it fostered. A Funeral Mass and reception was held on Monday, April 1st at 11:00 am at St. Peter’s Catholic Church in New Westminster. Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel, 604-521-4881
