EVERYBODY’S A CRITIC: Someone defaced the New Westminster skate park with graffiti criticizing the design of the new facility.

City forced to scrub skate park on eve of opening Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster is taking steps to make sure its new skate park is cleaned up in time for this weekend’s grand opening after vandals painted graffiti on the facility.

Instead of the colourful tagging that often adorns skateboard facilities, someone used paint to critique the new skate park in Queen’s Park, by painting comments like “New West didn’t

want all transition,” “All transition and no street is a disgrace to skateboarders” and “What about the Kids?”The tagging occurred sometime over the weekend.

“It’s actually the second time it’s been tagged,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation.

“The first time it seemed to be a memorial to somebody.This time around it seems to be somebody who is taking exception to the way the skate park was designed and some of the features

that were not included.”

The city has reported the vandalism to the New Westminster Police Department.

“The interesting thing that’s happened is somewhere out there in the social media world, disappointment has been expressed about the fact that it was actually tagged, and I believe some speculation may have been made about who might have been behind it,” Gibson said.

“We have referred all of that over to the New Westminster Po-

“So that is the standard that we have held down in Queensborough and are carrying it forward up in this area as well. It’s largely driven by the boarders themselves, and in part by us wanting to have clean and presentable spaces.”

The city will officially open the skate park in Queen’s Park on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Along with mayor and council, DJ Vinyl Ritchie will attend the event that also includes activities and displays, giveaways and prizes, a barbecue and a concession.

lice.They will address the situation in whatever way they need to.

Obviously, vandalizing civic property isn’t something that we want to support.”

While skate parks are often covered in graffiti, Gibson said the city’s goal is to keep the new facility free of paint.

“Most skateboarders will tell you that they don’t want tagging on the skate parks themselves, because when you put paint on the bowls it affects the performance,” he told the Record.

City Beat RECONCILIATION

Council votes to remove Begbie statue Two councillors vote against the motion, saying they support removing the statue but want more dialogue first

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A symbol of the colonial era will likely take up residence in the city’s work yard until it finds a new home.

City council voted 4-2 Monday in favour of removing the Judge Matthew Begbie statue from in front of the provincial courthouse on Carnarvon Street.

The city will also engage in a conversation with the Tsilhqot’in Nation about the history and legacy of Begbie and the effects his decisions had on generations of their people. It will also work with the city’s museum and archives, the community and the Tsilhqot’in Nation to find an appropriate place for the statue and engage in a process of consultation to find an appropriate place to tell the history of the Chilcotin War. “This motion does the opposite of erasing history. It provides an opportunity to tell the whole history, including the voices and perspectives of the Indigenous people,” said Coun. Nadine Nakagawa, who put forward the motion. “We have to ask ourselves: What perspective is history told from? When we defend this history, we are defending the rights of the colonial narrative to be the only perspective that’s told.”

Nakagawa said the city needs to respond to a request by the Tsilhqot’in chiefs in 2017 to remove all namesakes of Begbie, who was the first chief justice of the Colony of British Columbia. As it stands, she said the statue does not provide any context on who Begbie was, so the motion provides an opportunity to tell more about who Begbie was, both the good and the bad.

The Tsilhqot’in National Government announced Wednesday

BYE BYE BEGBIE: New Westminster city council voted on Monday night to remove this statue from in front of the provincial courthouse on Carnarvon Street. PHOTO RECORD FILES

it fully supports the decision by council.

“From the Tsilhqot’in perspective, Judge Begbie represents a legacy of betrayal, pain and tragedy for our people,” said Chief Joe Alphonse, in a statement. “Removing Judge Begbie’s statue from public spaces does not remove him from history, but rather recognizes our history and our experience as Indigenous peoples.

We are grateful for the leadership shown by the New Westminster City Council and for the understanding and compassion for our

people that this decision reflects.”

In 1864, Begbie presided over a murder trial in Quesnel of five Tsilhqot’in chiefs who were found guilty and sentenced to hang.The following year, a sixth chief, Chief Ahan, was tried, convicted and sentenced to death in New Westminster – in a spot not far from where the statue stands.

In 2014, the provincial government apologized to the Tsilhqot’in Nation for the wrongful execution of the six chiefs. In 2018, the federal government fully exonerated the chiefs of any wrongdoing.

“These were actually chiefs, they would be like premiers of provinces in a nation. Say we went to war with Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, and then we decided we wanted to have some peace talks and we brought those six premiers to British Columbia to have peace talks, but when they crossed our border we arrested them, shackled them, tried them and executed them.Would that judge still be standing in a courtyard somewhere in British Columbia? Would there be reconciliation

to that injustice more rapidly than now?” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “The time has come.This has to happen.”

Councillors Nakagawa, Puchmayr, Jaimie McEvoy and Mary Trentadue supported the motion, while councillors Chinu Das and Patrick Johnstone voted against it.

(Mayor Jonathan Cote was out of town.)

Johnstone and Das said they fully support truth and reconciliation but feel more dialogue should take place before the statue is moved, including with the Tsilhqot’in Nation. (In addition to eight delegations at Monday’s meeting, many people commented about the issue on social media in response to news coverage about the motion to be considered by council.)

“I frankly don’t think we have had these conversations in this community,” Johnstone said. “I think we have spent a weekend on social media and we have spent a couple of hours in this chamber having a discussion about this subject. I don’t think we have truly engaged with people who need to be engaged in this discussion. I am afraid actions we take now are going to undermine our efforts to have that true engagement.We are going to close those ears before we have even invited them in to have a conversation.”

Several residents who spoke at Monday night’s council meeting supported removing the statue.

“I want my kids to learn the names and faces of people to aspire to be like, who fought injustice, who were honourable people and were admired in their communities,” said Tasha Henderson.

“They need to know and understand the history of how we got here, but they do not need to glorify men like Judge Begbie.”

City releases details on cost and scope of reconciliation consultant Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The city has hired a consultant to help develop a plan for reconciling its past and present relationships with the Indigenous community.

In February, the city hired the Castlemain Group to develop a communication and relationshipbuilding process where all parties can share their experiences and their vision for reconciliation.

“The consultant was to work with Indigenous groups, city council and staff to develop recommendations aimed at improving communications and fostering relations with Indigenous communities and organizations hold-

shop are presented to the city and a draft reconciliation framework is recommended, is expected to be complete by March 2020.

Phase 3, which is about engaging community voices toward a reconciliation framework in New West, would include a community engagement forum.

Following the forum, the consultant will incorporate all of the feedback to produce a final reconciliation framework and action plan for the city’s consideration.

In recent weeks, Coun. Nadine Nakagawa, with input from Coun.

Chuck Puchmayr, has presented motions related to truth and reconciliation, including the motion detailed in the above story.

City Beat HISTORY

UBC student doing deep dive on May Day history Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

As kids get ready to dance around the May Pole later this month, one grad student is diving into the history of New Westminster’s long-standing May Day event.

This September, Georgia Twiss will begin her Master’s project at the University of British Columbia on the history of May Day and the role of the May Queen in the colonization of B.C. Twiss grew up in Fort Langley, a community that also has a May Day celebration, but she didn’t know much about the event’s history in the region. (This year will be Fort Langley’s 97th May Day and New Westminster’s 149th.)

It wasn’t until a trip to the New Westminster Museum during her undergrad studies at Simon Fraser University that she learned how important May Day was to early settlers, especially those living in New Westminster.

“The May Queen and the May Day parade was everywhere,” she said of her trip to the museum.

But it was the May Queens who had Twiss “particularly transfixed.”

“These are the faces of young girls, and those kind of historical characters aren’t usually teased out within B.C. history. … I was really fascinated by these young girls and what their role was and why they were, essentially, the face of New Westminster that was being displayed,” she said.

Twiss, who studies gender and history, said her initial research on May Day, which eventually became her honours project, showed that May Day’s inception was born out of a need to reinvigorate the community.

“They masked it as this day for children, but in reality it’s much more a community-building event,” she said.

On May 4, 1870, 11-yearold Nellie McColl was crowned the city’s first May Queen during the inaugural

Royal wave: Connaught Heights student Betty Sutton was crowned May Queen alongside classmate and Royal Consort Liam Banziger during the 148th May Day celebration last year. PHOTO RECORD FILES

May Day event held at the Sapperton Cricket grounds near present day Glenbrook Ravine Park.

“From the beginning, the

May Queens represented something else, they weren’t just this kind of figure of the coming of spring, it was this kind of promise of the con-

tinuity of settler authority,” Twiss said.

“The May Queens were used, essentially, to illustrate this idealized feminin-

ity. So, what the girls of the city should aspire to, which was this idea of purity, innocence, grace, beauty, and they wanted these girls to fit this mould so that, in the future, they would ensure the future generations of society would maintain that kind of colonial standard.”

Twiss hopes to uncover more about the May Queens, but her ultimate goal is to show people that local history is just as important as the history of a country or an empire. “(Local history) has these complex stories that need to be teased out, and places like New Westminster, which is tiny, hold larger truths,” she said.

“The May Queens were all young girls, and their role within the settler colonial project is something that’s quite often silenced.”

Twiss received a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council to fund her research. Follow Twiss’ project on Twitter @themay queens.

MYTHBUSTER #6 – I CAN’T START WALKING Truth: If you are not used to walking, it may take a while to get into a routine. But the good news is that there are many steps you can take to start walking. Here are just a few: • Park further away from your office • Get off the bus a few stops early • Walk to a nearby store for small purchases • Take the stairs instead of the elevator • Go for a walking meeting instead of meeting in the board room • Walk to school with your children to help squeeze in extra ‘family time’ amid busy schedules Remember to gradually increase your walking activity to avoid injury – “know your limit, walk within it!”

Opinion OUR VIEW

More detail needed on these bold reconciliation steps We have great respect for New Westminster embarking on a “deep dive” to get at the truth so it can tackle reconciliation.

City council last week approved a motion by Coun.

Nadine Nakagawa, with input from Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, that includes a number of steps for the city. ! Making it mandatory for all city staff to attend training on the history and legacy of residential schools. ! Providing mayor and council with training to understand the legacy of resi-

dential schools and colonialism. ! Undertaking research to better understand the historical actions of the city as they relate to First Nations. ! Ensuring this research respects and incorporates the experiences and stories of the First Nations that claim the territory upon which New Westminster is built to ensure the history isn’t told from a colonial perspective; and sharing this information with the National Centre for Truth and

Reconciliation. ! Providing the community with opportunities to learn the history and legacy of colonialism in New West. ! Establishing a formal territorial acknowledgement built from the information learned from First Nations during the research process, and having the territorial acknowledgment approved

by First Nations that claim the territory before it’s formally adopted by the city.

These are all laudable steps for New West, which is one of the few cities in B.C.

taking the hard road on this issue.

Having said this, there are far too many unanswered questions with this motion to let them just slide.

The city is already spending money on consultants to develop a framework for truth and reconciliation.

Councillors Chinu Das and Patrick Johnstone both expressed concern about how the initiatives would mesh with work that’s already underway by the consultants.They supported tabling the motion and

meeting with staff and consultants about how it dovetails with the work that’s already underway and ensuring work isn’t being duplicated.

Johnstone said such a discussion would help develop an “understanding of what the resources are going to be required” in carrying all of this out, adding that this motion could “potentially represent a step backwards” in the process because it could create uncertainty about the role of the consultants and city staff.

We agree.Taxpayers need to know what kind of price-tag this is going to involve and we’re thankful at least one council member brought up the issue of “resources.” It seems absurd to not take a breath and meet to ensure everyone involved is clear of how it will all work together.

Like we said, we applaud the city’s efforts on truth and reconciliation, but the public deserves far more detail than what is being provided.

MY VIEW FRANK O’BRIEN

Affordability tough when you’re alone In MetroVancouver, the most expensive rental housing market in Canada and one of the least affordable for homebuyers on the planet, about one-third of the homes have just one resident.

The same economics apply whether it is a car or a home: one person travelling alone in a vehicle represents a much costlier per capita commute than 30 people sharing a bus.

When it comes to housing, the affordability factor is simply much more pronounced. A single person attempting to rent a home will have a harder time affording it than if he or she is sharing the cost with at least one other person.

For homebuyers, it means coming up with the entire down payment, qualifying for the mortgage payments, plus paying condo fees or maintenance costs, all from one pocket.

WhileVancouver is exceptional due to its home prices, the home-alone trend is hampering housing affordability right across the country.

The number of Canadians living alone has more than doubled in the past 35 years, making single-person households the most common type, a new report by Statistics Canada confirms.

This group is now larger than the one composed of couples with kids, as well as the category of couples living alone – and the trend toward solo living is accelerating.

Vancouver, with an estimated 31 per cent of homealone households, has one of

the highest rates in Canada.

Young adults are the hardest hit by social isolation in MetroVancouver, according to theVancouver Foundation’s Connections and Engagement report, released in December 2017.

This April, Joyce Murray, MP forVancouver Quadra, hosted an event on how to reduce loneliness inVancouver and make the city a friendlier place.

It is no longer your elderly widowed aunt who is living solo.

It is just as likely to be your buddy or your niece.

The fastest-growing age group living alone is those aged 35 to 64, according to Statistics Canada’s demography division.

It also reports that onethird of those aged 20 to 34 were in a relationship, but each partner lived in his or her own place.

Among those in the middle-adulthood years of 35 to 64, the proportion of those living alone but attached is 20 per cent.

No surprise that StatsCan also discovered that a substantial number of single adults were paying more than 30 per cent of their income for shelter, considered unaffordable.

So what’s the solution?

Buddy up. Find a lover. Make amends with your family. Swap your social media network for real people in real life. Learn to share your life and your roof.

We suspect housing affordability, and Canadian society, would be the better for it.

Frank O’Brien writes for Western Investor.

Begbie motion isn’t about being‘politically correct’ Editor: Re: New Westminster councillors want to remove the Judge Begbie statue, Record, May 3 Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” I support the process council is taking to address truth and reconciliation and build relationships with First Nations, including the Tsilhqot’in Nation. By bringing representatives from all parties together to discuss an appropriate way to tell the whole truth of our province and city’s history we get closer to achieving the goal of reconciliation. The suggestion by Tl’etinqox Chief Joe Alphonse to add statues of the chiefs to the square makes sense. This isn’t “changing our past” as some may suggest. This isn’t about being “politically correct.” It is about being historically truthful in a way that honours all of our citizens.

Rick Fabbro, New Westminster

‘Hanging judge’an unfair, slanderous title for Begbie Editor: Re: New Westminster councillors want to remove the Judge Begbie statue, Record, May 3 Before you take any action, please inform yourselves of the whole story of the judge’s interactions with First Nations.

The meticulously researched biography of the judge – The Man for a New Country, by the late David R. Williams – is very clear on how highly

Begbie valued (Indigenous people). The most directly relevant section is chapter seven, which includes a comprehensive and balanced account of the trial of the Tsilqot’in men accused in the “Waddington Massacre.”

Begbie was never called, or considered, a “hanging judge” in his lifetime. That truly slanderous label was invented four years after his death and based on a completely fictitious tale in Canadian Magazine. Begbie was not an advocate for hanging; among the cases before him in which the jury found the accused guilty of murder, he urged reprieve and clemency in half of them.

When Begbie sentenced the six Tsilqot’in men to death for their killing of the roadbuilders and others, he was adhering to the laws of both Britain and the First Nations. He had learned to speak Tsilqot’in fluently; he interviewed Klatsassin, one of the accused, and also spoke with the whole group in court. In his Bench Book, he recorded, “I asked them what their law was against murderers. They replied, ‘Death.’ I said, ‘Our law just the same.’”

Begbie was a great admirer of First Nations, writing, “My impression of the Indian (the term in use at that time) is, that they have far more intelligence, honesty, and good manners” than many people of any European country, “England included.” Encouraging reconciliation is important work.

Engaging in a conversation with the Tsilqot’in Nation about Begbie’s history and legacy is an excellent plan, but only if it is based on objective truth. Please ensure that you are all aware of all the facts before you remove the statue and do a grave disservice to the history of B.C. Marlyn Horsdal, New Westminster

City City staff to receive training Continued from page 3 A week earlier, council approved a motion that included a number of actions for the city, including: making it mandatory for all city staff to attend training on the history and legacy of residential schools; providing mayor and council with training to understand the legacy of residential schools and colonialism; undertaking research to understand which Nations have a relationship to this land and to better understand the historical actions of the city as they relate to First Nations; and providing the community with opportunities to learn the history and legacy of colonialism in New Westminster.

Puchmayr, who previously spearheaded efforts for the city to create a sister-community relationship with the Tl’etinqox (Anaham) and to donate aging fire trucks and police cars to the Tsilhqot’in First Nation, said not all work being done on truth and reconciliation will be handled by the consultant.

City Beat CITY HALL

New West promotes Ponzini to finance director Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster didn’t have to go too far to find its next director of finance.

Colleen Ponzini, who has been working in the city’s finance department since 2007, has been named as the city’s new finance director. She has been serving as the city’s acting director of finance since Gary Holowatiuk retired in early 2018.

“Colleen is a certified general accountant and a certified professional accountant,” said a statement from the city. “Her experience, expertise and commitment to New Westminster make her an ideal choice for this senior management position.”

According to the City of New Westminster, the city retained the services of an executive search firm and engaged in a comprehensive recruitment and selection process for the position. City council approved Ponzini’s appointment as

the city’s new director of finance at its April 29 meeting.

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to contribute to the community in this capacity,” Ponzini said. “We have a great team at the city that works diligently to deliver a multitude of services. Financial guidance and oversight is a key function of that team, and I’m honoured to be leading it.”

Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer, said the city’s policy is that all directors’ and the chief administrative officer’s positions are posted nationally.

She couldn’t say how many people applied for the job but was told the response was high.

“We interviewed several candidates, and Colleen did really well,” she said.

“For council, Colleen has a real technical rigour about the budget. She understands it, she understands the numbers behind it.That gives council a high degree of confidence. I think that was the biggest one from a

council perspective. From my own perspective, she is technically proficient.What I really value about Colleen is she is unapologetic when it comes to financial rigour. She is thorough that way.You get the sense that she has a very, very good handle on all the budgets.

I think that gives a lot of us confidence and comfort because you know she knows what’s behind the numbers,

she knows the assumptions behind the numbers, all of that.”

Ponzini takes on the role at a time when the city is contemplating borrowing funds for major infrastructure projects, including the New Westminster Aquatic and Community Centre and a new electrical substation in Queensborough.

“I think council also appreciates the fact that we are

going through an historic period of looking at some of the debt with these larger projects.When that happens, council and the community need to know that the director of finance really understands the financial systems behind it, understands the level of debt, understands how to manage it for us. It’s important, especially right now with the kind of projects that we are looking at,” Spitale said.

“With that, there is debt behind that.You need your treasurer to really understand how that works for the city and also explain it in a way that council understands the choices behind that.”

Ponzini joined the city in September 2007 as manager of financial services and was later promoted to senior manager of financial services. Before working for the City of New Westminster, she served in senior roles at the City of Prince George and in financial accounting positions at Metro Vancouver.

“We are a small city. Opportunities don’t come up very often, and so we understand some of the challenges around that,” Spitale said.

“Staff need to see that people from within can work hard and get the recognition and then are eventually able to go after these promotions and succeed in them.”

While Holowatiuk served as the city’s director of finance and information technology, Spitale said the city has removed the IT function from the position for the time being.

“We are doing an internal review on IT, especially in the context of the work we are doing with Intelligent City, the work we are doing around innovation and BridgeNet, all those bigger initiatives,” she said. “Council thought it would be a really good time to get a better understanding of where is IT and IT services and technology going. So, that is what we are doing right now.”

Musical revue explores the many faces of love Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

It may be a day off from school, but don’t bother telling that to all the students who are buzzing with enthusiasm as they filter in to the Massey cafeteria and dance studio.

They’re part of New Westminster Secondary School’s new musical theatre fundamentals course, and they’re hard at work rehearsing for the program’s upcoming musical revue, What is Love?

“We’re exploring the trials and tribulations of love: the highs and lows, and different types of love,” explains teacher Frances Monteleone.

The class includes more than 30 student performers in grades 9 through 12, along with three who are studying the technical theatre side. Unlike the full musical theatre program offered in alternate years at NWSS – which leads to a full-scale, staged production of a Broadway musical at Massey Theatre – this one’s a non-auditioned program, which welcomes students at all skill and experience levels.

Monteleone started this course to give students – especially graduating seniors – a chance to perform onstage in the “gap year” between full-scale musicals.

She and the students brainstormed what they wanted to include in the show, starting with a list of a hundred or so songs and narrowing it down from there.The revue will include a variety of solos, duets and group numbers that run the gamut of Broadway repertoire from the classic to the contemporary – expect such

highlights as You’re the One That IWant, from Grease; Gimme Gimme, from Thoroughly Modern Millie; Agony, from Into theWoods; For Good, fromWicked; and a mashup of I Feel Pretty, from West Side Story, and TLC’s Unpretty.

The songs will be woven together thematically with a script written by Monteleone, and students are taking the lead as choreographers and vocal captains for each of the numbers.

“It’s definitely more student-driven,” said Monteleone. “It gives them a sense of ownership; they’re so invested in the show.”

Among the senior students who have taken on leadership roles this time out is Grade 12 student Megan Lee.The 17-year-old was part of the cast for last year’s NWSS production of Crazy forYou – where, she says, she discovered her love for musical theatre. Megan has studied dance and sung in choir for years, but the musical was her first taste of what it was like putting all her stage skills together.

“I really wanted to continue with musical theatre as long as I could,” she said. “I love it because I’m able to be a mentor and a leader to a lot of the younger kids. …

I remember being in Grade 9 and just being so scared. I looked up to the older kids a lot. It’s nice to be able to be one of those kids.”

Another senior in the cast is Grade 12 student Olivia Fryer, who was previously in the school productions of Legally Blonde and Crazy forYou. “I couldn’t go my last year in high school without performing,” she said.

The 18-year-old said finding herself in a leadership

role has been eye-opening.

“That’s been difficult, but it’s also been a great experience,” she said.

For Olivia, who has taken voice lessons and sung in chamber choir, it’s the dance part that has been the most challenging aspect of performance. But she says she’s changed a lot since she was in Legally Blonde in 2017.

“I couldn’t dance to save my life,” she said with a laugh. “I’ve definitely gotten better as the years went on.”

Grade 11 student Skye Wilkinson – whom Monteleone describes as a true “triple threat” – was also part of both Legally Blonde and Crazy ForYou, and she too has found herself step-

ping up as a leader this time out. An experienced dance student and now teacher at Dance Matrix, Skye is also a trained operatic vocalist, studying privately with Lois Weninger.

It gives them a sense of ownership

There was no doubt in her mind she wanted to be part of the class this year.

“I still wanted to do musical theatre here because I love the teachers so much,” she said. “Whatever level

we’re at, this class is really good for us.”

She said every student, from the newcomers on up, is bringing their best to the table all the time.

“This class, it’s honestly the most dedicated group of people I’ve ever worked with,” she said. “Everyone’s just trying their hardest.”

For Lauryn Savela, a 16-year-old Grade 11 student, this class is her first foray into musical theatre.

She came into the class on Monteleone’s recommendation – “she heard me sing once and said, you have to do musical theatre.”

Lauryn is gearing up for a solo in the show – Sondheim’s Losing My Mind – and says the process of put-

ting the revue together has been a collaborative effort by everyone in the class.

She’s hoping people will turn out to the show to see the results of all their hard work “I just want them to know how much work every single person has put into this show, and as a result we have something really, really good,” she says.

CHECK IT OUT What is Love? will be onstage at Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St., on Wednesday, May 22 and Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $12 and $15, including fees, available through www.ticketsnw.ca.

Community New West filmmaker explores the Salish Sea Returning screens at the Anvil Centre this Saturday as part of Discovery Centre speaker series Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

If you eat, shop or play in New West, you can get a deal on an upcoming screening of a documentary film about the Salish Sea. Returning is being shown at Anvil Centre Theatre on Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. as part of Fraser River Discovery Centre’s Biodiversity Speakers Series.The event is a fundraiser for both the Fraser River Discovery Centre and Vancouver Bird Week.

Returning documents a two-year sailing journey by local scientist Rob Butler as he looks for answers to the question:What would it take to reconnect to the Salish Sea? The Salish Sea is three bodies of water straddling the border of Canada and the United States – the Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait and Puget Sound.

According to a press release, the Salish Sea is home to everything from the endangered southern resident Orca whales to thousands of migratory birds and unique plants, as well as cultural attractions that are found nowhere else in the world.

While nearly two million people live near the Salish Sea, few feel connected to it – and Butler wanted to find out why.

“That was a mystery to me, and one I wanted to solve,” said Butler, an ornithologist, author, filmmaker, artist and adjunct professor of biological sciences at Simon Fraser University. “We have so much available to us that is literally outside our backdoor…why can’t more of us embrace that?”

The New West resident put together a crew to sail the Salish Sea on board SV Ark Angel, with the expedition including visits to Hornby Island, Mitlenatch

Island, Savary Island, Pender Harbour and Thormanby Island in Canada.They also travelled on V Springtime from Bellingham to Yellow Island, San Juan Island, Port Townsend and Orcas Island in the United States.

“Returning began as a sailing journey where we searched for people whose lives and livelihoods were connected to the natural world of the Salish Sea,” Butler said in a press release. “Along the way, we were able to talk to people like artist James Harry from the Squamish First Nation, designer Michael McNamara from Hornby Island, naturalist Phil Green from the Nature Conservancy of Washington, and oyster farmer Greg Wood on Denman Island. All provided their different perspectives on the Salish Sea.” Since completing and releasing the film that was

At sea: Returning, a film that documents a two-year sailing journey by local scientist Rob Butler, is being shown at Anvil Centre Theatre on Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. as part of Fraser River Discovery Centre’s Biodiversity Speakers Series. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

more than two years in the making, Butler has been screening Returning in Salish Sea communities to rave reviews. It’s also scheduled to run on the Knowledge Network.

“The whole trip – and the results of it – were truly an

inspiration and gave me so much hope for the future,” Butler said. “There are so many opportunities to reconnect to the Salish Sea, and the results can be increased health and happiness for all of us.”

Tickets to the screen-

ing are $10 or less, and half price for New Westminster residents who eat, shop or play in the Royal City.

Five ways parents can help their kids feel comfortable at the dentist 1. Be a positive role model. Children frequently learn by example. If they see their parents being diligent about dental care, they’re more likely to embrace proper oral hygiene. Bring children to your own dental appointments so they understand the process and become familiar with the type of equipment used.

2. Stick to the first-tooth milestone. Take your child to the dentist on or about when his or her first tooth erupts. Early dental visits will get kids used to going to the dentist and prevent minor problems that may lead to more complex dental issues.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

We provide outstanding dental care for your teeth.

5. Consider using your dentist. Some parents like to take their children to a pediatric dentist, but it may not always be necessary. Many family practices cater to patients of all ages, and the familiarity of the office may help make children feel more comfortable.

Speak with your dentist about the ages they see.

3. Read books about the dentist and role play. Information can allay kids’ fears about the dentist. Read books together about dental visits and act out possible scenarios with your kids. Give kids toy dental health tools and have them practice exams on you and vice-versa.

4. Be supportive and instill trust. Avoid telling your child that everything will be okay. If a procedure is needed, this could affect his or her trust in you and make the dental office an even greater source of anxiety. Simply be supportive and offer a hand to squeeze or a hug if your child needs you.

Community Amazon gives a boost to New Media Gallery The New Westminster New Media Gallery just got a boost for its efforts to introduce local children to the world of arts and technology.

The gallery and its Learning Lab has received a $10,000 donation from Amazon to help fund STEAM programs (Science,Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) for local schoolchildren.The donation will be used to make gallery and Learning Lab programming more accessible and affordable to those who would otherwise be unable to attend.

“Amazon’s donation will enable more young people to access and learn next-gen skills through hands-on activities,” said Gordon Duggan, one-half of the director-curator team at the New Media Gallery, in a press release. “By equipping students with critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills, our students of today will be the innovators of tomorrow.”

Director-curator Sarah Joyce noted in an email

that the impact of the gallery’s arts and technology programming was illustrated in the recent New Media Gallery Mayor’s Challenge Race, held as part of the youth festival during the city’s Innovation Week in March.Teams created and controlled mini-racers using Little Bits technology.

“A team of little girls won,” she wrote – the team in question having dubbed themselves the Charging Cheetahs. “They were up against the seasoned mayor’s team, led by (city councillor) Patrick Johnstone, as well as a number of old-

er kids. A few of these little girls had taken NMG arts and technology workshops and were familiar with using technology.We were thrilled to have them win.”

The success of that race dovetails with Amazon’s aim to expand educational opportunities from kindergarten to post-secondary, with a special focus on making STEAM education accessible to young girls, underrepresented minorities, and those in under-served and low-income communities.

The most recent $10,000 donation builds on a $15,000 endowment that

Amazon made last March to support high school students studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics at New Westminster Secondary School.

“At Amazon, technology and innovation fuel our

business, and we recognize that the jobs of tomorrow require a stronger aptitude for STEAM skills,” said Carla Nash, general manager at Amazon. “That’s why we’re proud to be a member of the New Westminster

community and to support local STEAM education programs that empower young people to build, imagine and innovate.”

Community EDUCATION

Students ditch the cars for walk-to-school event Cayley Dobie CLASS ACT

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Students at Queen Elizabeth Elementary chose the path less travelled during a walk-to-school event in April.

Kids were encouraged to walk, ride or scoot to school in an effort by school administrators to teach the community about park and walk options and safe routes to school for Queen Elizabeth kids.

But the ultimate goal was to reduce the amount of traffic congestion in front of the school during morning drop-off, according to Queen Elizabeth Elementary School principal Paul Manville.

Students were given special passports they took to different stations around the school to get stamped.

You can see more photos from the event online at newwestrecord.ca.

SAVE THE DATE Mark your calendars, folks, the annual spring carnival at École Qayqayt Elementary School is happening Wednesday, May 29.

The spring carnival, now in its third year, is organized and hosted by the school’s parent advisory council.

Proceeds from the event go to the PAC, which in turn helps support programs and extra-curricular activities at the school.

The carnival is on from 5 to 8 p.m. at the school.

There will be games, face painting, a cake walk, raffle prizes, food and lots more, according to a notice. École Qayqayt Elementary School is at 85 Merivale St. HAPPY VAISAKHI! Students at Queensborough Middle School celebrated Vaisakhi with their very own party.

Vaisakhi is an annual celebration marked by Sikhs and Hindus. It started in

India’s Punjab region as a harvest festival and then, in 1699,Vaisakhi became a time to commemorate the creation of the Khalsa, which was formed by Guru Gobind Singh.

At Queensborough Middle School, the Punjabi language students treated the school to a special assembly, featuring Bhangra dancing, speeches on the importance of Vaisakhi and a short trivia game about the celebration, according to an email from one of the parents.

The day was organized by Punjabi teacher Deep Sangra and volunteers Manjot Kaur and Simran Grewal with support from principal Lisa Nasato.

Parents were invited to the celebration as well as trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal, who was a special guest.

Community Hyack unveils new float to kick off a busy May Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Hyack Festival Association revealed its new float at NewWestminster City Hall on Monday night.

The unveiling of the new float, which has a theme of Shining Bright in the Royal City, occurred before the meeting where the city proclaimed May 20 to 26 as HyackWeek in NewWestminster.The float will appear in the 48th annual Hyack International Parade on May 25 and will also travel to 11 other parades throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Okanagan.

May is a busy month for the Hyack Festival Association, as it organizes and supports events including the Hyack International Parade, the Uptown Street Festival, the May Day tea and picnic, the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery’s anvil salute onVictoria Day, a rose planting ceremony and hospitality banquets for guests attending the parade.

According to Hyack, the theme Shining Bright in the Royal City is intended to recognize and reflect the many people who keep New Westminster unique by volunteering hours upon hours to sustain the city’s rich cultural traditions, while also celebrating diversity and re-

minding everyone to share their inner sparkle with the community.

FOCUS ON WATERFRONT The ever-changing New Westminster waterfront is the focus of this month’s NewWestminster Historical Society meeting.

University seeks participants for new hearing study.

Connect Hearing, in conjunction with Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph, are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. Of particular interest to the researchers is identifying how we listen. There is a current theory that divides people into two “listening groups”. People in the first group need to put more effort into their listening, while members in the second group aren’t easily distracted. It’s the people in the first group who will look for

a solution to their hearing loss sooner than the second group, even though the level of hearing loss could be very similar. The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help. You’ll be playing an important part in a study that will further identify the key factors impacting hearing difficulties and better understand their influence on the treatment process.

Community Abstract works in new exhibition at Queen’s Park

Art lovers are invited to check out the newest exhibition at the Gallery at Queen’s Park.

Garey Shergill’s The Places We Can’t Remember runs until Sunday, May 26.

A write-up about the show notes that it features a series of abstract works that explore “the pull and play of form” and the role of muted

colour in conjuring memories of travel and fleeting impressions of place.

“When I think back to all the places we have travelled, what I remember most is you and the colours that surrounded us. I close my eyes; you are walking beside me, my hand in yours, and time stands still for a moment,” says an artist’s state-

A New Westminster dancer will be in the spotlight for Coastal City Ballet’s upcoming Swan Lake.

The production is onstage at the Vancouver Playhouse on Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 p.m., and again at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey on Saturday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m. Izabel Pearce, a 14-year-old New West resident, is part of the cast: she’ll be one of the swans and will also dance in the mazurka.

Izabel, who moved to New West from the U.K. at the age of eight, is the youngest dancer in the production. She also happens to be a professional actor; her first movie role was as Blake Lively’s daughter in the 2015 movie The Age of Adaline.

She joins a cast of emerging Canadian and international dancers in the fulllength ballet production, featuring choreography by Irene Schneider and led by artistic director Katrina Bois.

“Swan Lake is one of the only ballets that you can see again and again.Whether it’s your first time or your hundredth, the experience is truly magical,” Bois said in a press release. “Schneider’s Swan Lake was designed to be seen over and over again because you find little details in it each time that make it exciting and fresh.”

Tickets for the shows range from $19.95 to $59.95. For Vancouver tickets, buy through vtixonline.com or call 604-

Community Signing a ‘baby-nup’?

Yeah, good luck with that Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

There’s nothing a parent wants more than to equally share the draining duties of parenthood. Some will grin and bear the brunt of the workload without complaint. Others will exhaust themselves in their quest for balance, but, if you get to the point where a signed “baby-nup” is the only way to ensure an equal effort, I’m sorry to say you’re out of luck.

CBS NewYork first introduced the concept in an interview with a group of parents exploring the ways in which they delegate duties to ensure equal parenting participation.The conversation grew from there, addressed by media across the world – many asking if you would sign a baby-nup.

The baby-nup is basically a next-level agreement that stems from the idea of a

chore chart – where a list of the tasks to be done is created and then each person is delegated to complete their duties on their designated day.The difference is, a baby-nup takes this idea one step further.

According to The Loop, “It’s a prenup without any money.The baby contract splits up responsibilities between parents, but it’s not that serious. It’s in no way legally binding.The document is more like a flexible guide that allows parents to reshape and modify the responsibilities.The purpose of a baby-nup is so that both parents equally fulfill the role of a parent.”

The chore chart idea is definitely a plan that could help to keep things in order – that is, if both parties are fully on board.

The baby-nup, though, is taking it a step too far. It’s one thing to agree to share duties and quite another to see those promises through by relying on a contract that

binds you to your child-related chores. Plus, if you’re planning on co-parenting with someone, do you really need a signed document to confirm they’re going to be all-in?

Parenting is unpredictable.When you’re in it, it’s all hands on deck.When a baby is up in the middle of the night, I can’t imagine parents pausing to check the agreement to determine whose turn it is to take on the task of tackling a latenight feed. If anything, that would only make matters worse.

As a person who loves to have everything planned out, I can understand a parent’s desire to try to take control by creating a contract, but if you think a baby contract is going to ease all of your parenting problems once your child arrives, baby, you’re dead wrong.

‘I believe cello can save the world’: Ian Maksin returns A Russian-born, Chicago-based cellist who’s known for breaking musical boundaries is making a return to New Westminster.

Ian Maksin is returning to the stage at the Columbia Theatre on Thursday, May 16 as part of his Pacific Northwest tour.

Maksin is a cellist, composer and multilingual vocalist who has developed his own unique genre by blending elements of different styles and singing in nearly 20 languages.

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia into a multicultural family, Maksin began playing cello at age six at a school for gifted children at the Leningrad Conservatory. He continued his education at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City, where he moved on his own at the age of 17.

After many years working with symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles in the classical realm, Maksin chose to chart a new musical path – fusing styles from music of all sorts that he had listened to as a child.

“At some point I realized that music was much more than just a compilation

Guest conductor Kathleen Allan will lead the choir in music by Jeff Enns, Arvo Part, Gustav Holst, Benjamin Britten and more.The centrepiece will be an eight-movement cantata by Canadian composer Jason Noble that adapts Lewis Carroll’s 1871 Through the Looking Glass into a contemporary metaphor of being drawn into a deep abyss of technology

and social media.

Andrew Staniland’s On the Surface ofWater, which closes the program features an iPhone instrument to be played by the audience.

Among the singers will be some familiar New Westminster faces: Barbara Paul, longtime music teacher at Lord Kelvin Elementary School; Carolyn Shiau, a pathologist at Royal Columbian Hospital; and Vaughn Chauvin, a pharmacist and owner with Indigo Pharmacy Group.

Concert time is 7:30 p.m., with a pre-concert talk at 7 p.m. Regular-priced tickets are $30, or $25 for seniors and students, $10 for youth.

POETRY WORKSHOP The Royal City Literary Arts Society is inviting everyone to have some fun with words at an upcoming poetry workshop.

Angelica Poversky leads the interactive workshop on Saturday, May 18 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Anvil Centre (Room 417), 777

Columbia St. Participants are invited to “introduce spontaneity, creativity and delight” into their poetry through the workshop, which includes activities that centre around performance and improvisation – including clowning.

“With exercises such as crafting a ‘rid-list,’ exorcising old grief through comedic performances, and stream-of-consciousness poetry writing, this workshop will not only hone in on the development of poetic skill, but also serves as a way to cope and continue,” says a write-up about the workshop.

The workshop costs $15 for members, $25 for nonmembers. Pre-register at secretary@rclas.com, or check out www.rclas.com for information.

Play challenges stereotypes about intellectual disabilities A new theatre production in New Westminster is hoping to challenge misconceptions about adults with intellectual disabilities – and their right to romance.

Romance, Relationships and Rights is onstage at the Anvil Centre Theatre, 777 Columbia St., from May 15 to 17.

The performance was created by and with self-advocates, supported by the Community Living Society and based on research from the UBC Centre for Inclusion and Citizenship.

A press release notes that the production challeng-

es audiences to think differently about how we value, respect and support adults with intellectual disabilities and their right to romance and intimate relationships.

“Whether or not people live with a disability or limitations, we all have the right to a relationship, to say no, to take action, and the right to friendships and to romance,” said Larissa Gunkel, an actor and co-creator of the show, in the release.

Gunkel was among a group of self-advocates who came together to develop scenes based on themes and issues they face in their lives.

We all have the right to a relationship Leyton Schnellert, co-director and co-producer of the show, described the experience as “social justice theatre by the community, for the community.”

It began in the fall, when workshops were held for self-advocates to develop their acting skills; in January, they identified the key topics and issues they want-

ed to address. After that, students and theatre professionals worked with them to develop the theatre piece and mentored the actors and technicians involved.

Catherine McLaren, a UBC student who’s the assistant stage manager, lauded the process.

“This invigorating collaborative experience has shown me how accessible and adaptable theatre can and should be,” McLaren said in the release.

Business Restaurants offer support for New Media Gallery Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Two local businesses are teaming up to support one of their neighbours.

Piva Modern Italian and El Santo restaurants have joined forces to donate $15,000 to the New Media Gallery in Anvil Centre.

“Piva recognizes that New Media Gallery is one of a kind in the Lower Mainland,” said Christopher McFadden, Piva’s managing director. “We are lucky to have it in our community.”

New Media Gallery directors Sarah Joyce and Gordon Duggan were presented with the cheque by McFadden and Alejandro Diaz, managing director of El Santo.They were supported by Chef Subraaz Abdullah, a partner in Piva.

“I am happy to support New Media Gallery as it gives NewWest a unique identity and sense of pride,” Diaz said in a press release.

“Art brings community members together to solve problems and build relationships; it makes us think more deeply.”

New Media Gallery, one of the most visited galleries in the Lower Mainland, features works by artists from around the world in free, ground-breaking exhibitions.

“A sincere thank you to these two extraordinary restaurants for reaching out to support a unique civic art gallery,” Duggan said.

“Your generous donation will strengthen the gallery and significantly affect the continued development of our Learning Lab with enhanced arts and technology programming.”

The gallery provides children and adults with a chance to develop imaginative and critical thinking in the Learning Lab, a place where arts and technology thrive.

“We’re grateful that these two distinguished restaurants in NewWestminster have come together to recognize the important con-

tributions New Media Gallery has made in advancing world-class culture in the city,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a press release.

Diaz, a NewWest resident, was pleased that El Santo could partner with Piva to provide funds for the New Media Gallery.

“The community gives to you, you give back,” he told the Record.

A father of three, Diaz is impressed with the handson approach Duggan and Joyce have taken with the gallery.

“There is always something different,” he said.

“You sometimes go to some galleries and it’s scary for kids, but they really make it friendly.Which other gallery would you have the people in charge of that going to every exhibit and telling you everything about every exhibition? Every time you go, they go to every space and they tell you everything about the exhibits.”

Angelina’s Dutch Corner has taken up residence in River Market, after outgrowing its former home at a nearby building. As part of the move a larger space that was formerly occupied byWild Rice, the restaurant plans to add dinner service to its popular breakfast and lunch menu.

Amaranthus, a new plantbased restaurant being operated by El Santo owner Alejandro Diaz and El Santo chef Sam Fabbro, is open for business in River Market.

Its menu features items like fried Brussels sprouts, roasted beet and carrot soup, a veggie burger, chocolate rosemary cashew cake, rosemary salt churros and beet cream soda.

Fabbro said Amaranthus is doing a partnership with the IMPACT Parkinson’s centre, which provides programs and services to people with Parkinson’s and their families.

In addition to a fundraiser for the organization, he said Amaranthus is donating

RUGBY

Douglas player headed to the Hall A star with the New Westminster-based Douglas Rugby Club, Kelly McCallum proved to be a star at every level onwards.

Now, the one-time Royal is B.C. Sports Hall of Famebound, with an induction ceremony coming later this month for the Surrey native.

McCallum was a standout on the women’s rugby field, playing in two women’s rugby World Cups and amassing 30 caps for the national program.

She is the first female inductee for rugby.

Having shown a flair for sports during her school years, McCallum didn’t enter

CLOSE CALLS: New West men in the 30-plus division faced off with Central City on Sunday at Queen’s Park. PHOTOS JENNIFER GAUTHIER

the rugby sphere until she was a student at Douglas College.

Expecting to see her friend’s game with the Douglas men’s side, McCallum instead inadvertently caught the women’s match.

Immediately attracted to the game, she signed up and earnestly went about becoming the team’s best player.

Captaining Douglas from 1999 to 2002, McCallum led the premier side in winning two of four provincial finals, and was recognized with a couple of Outstanding Back and MVP awards. She was also named B.C. Rugby Union’s Player of theYear in

2001-02, the first woman to receive such an honour.

McCallum would play her first game for Canada in 2001 against the U.S., kick-starting a run that would last six years and 30 games, including appearances at the 2002 and 2006 Women’s Rugby World Cup. She wore the ‘C’ with the national women’s XVs during 16 matches, and proved to be a stellar role model for veterans and newcomers alike.

Off the playing field, McCallum has been a regular role model as well. She’s coached at various levels, helping spearhead a girls’ rug-

by program at Elgin Park nearly 20 years ago, and coached in Japan and New Zealand, where she now resides.

In 2005, Douglas united with Pocomo to become the United Rugby Club.

In 2015 McCallum was inducted into the B.C. Rugby Hall of Fame as the first female player to receive such an honour.

The induction ceremony, which will also include the 1968 New Westminster Salmonbellies, will be held May 23 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

LACROSSE

‘Bellies pull off big trade GM Dan Richardson stocks up on offence and defence Dan Olson dolson@newwestrecord.ca

You can’t accuse New Westminster Salmonbellies’ general manager and president Dan Richardson of not going to extreme lengths to put his team over the hump.

With the Western Lacrosse Association’s 2019 season just a month away, Richardson continues to dial it up and bring in some highly coveted talent.

Following on the footsteps of last week’s announcement of the return of Kevin Crowley, New West announced this week the acquisition of the playing rights of two 25-year-old Ontario players, Austin Shanks and Darryl Robertson.

Both are members of the Rochester Knighthawks, plying different ends of the floor.

Shanks sits fourth in team scoring with 21 goals and 22 assists over 12 games.

A speedy defender, Robertson has contributed two goals and eight assists in 14 games.

“Both have been well-coached growing up in Whitby,” said Richardson of the duo. “They know how to play, they’re both good Each player team guys.” on our team In fact, while their travels have been entwined has the throughout their young goal and careers, Richardson said expectation the move to acquire each’s rights, from their to win.

Ontario Major Series’ teams, was done individually. It wasn’t a case of of a package deal. It just worked out that way, said Richardson.

“They both wanted to come out west and help a team win the Mann Cup,” he said of the two righthanders.

Shanks was a first-round selection of Rochester in 2017, earning his way onto the NLL All-Rookie team last season.

Both were part of Whitby’s Minto Cup championship win in 2013, where the Warriors defeated the New West juniors at Queen’s Park Arena.

That New West junior squad included Anthony Malcom and Justin Goodwin, while Alexis Buque was in net for Whitby.

Adding them to the lineup adds a hard-to-dismiss element of depth that Richardson says is necessary to get beyond the playoffs.

“It’s been proven time and again, you can’t have enough good players,” he noted. “These (moves) have really improved our depth.You’re going to get injuries, so you need guys who are good and ready to go. Our defence is very solid – with the likes of (Brett) Mydske, Mike Messenger, (Curtis) Hodgson, (Justin) Salt, (Reid) Mydske, (Brendan) Ranford, Quinn McKay… Robertson is as fast as a defender as you’ll see, and it allows us to put Malcom into a transition role.

“This is about winning.We had a pretty good team that got swept (in the first round) last year. It happens – like Tampa Bay (in the NHL playoffs), you can’t really expect to ease up on the gas pedal.

Each player on our team has the goal and expectation to win, to get in the Mann Cup.” The regular season begins May 23, when New West launches its 130th season against Langley at Queen’s Park Arena.
