Council reaffirms support for rental-only zoning

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council is standing by its plan to use rental-only zoning on six strata buildings in the city – despite warnings that the move could end up costing taxpayers millions of dollars through court action. In January, council approved a zoning amendment bylaw that designated 12 city-owned properties and six private properties for residential rental tenure.While the six private properties had been built as stratas, they have been op-

erating as rentals for years – and the city wants to keep it that way. In addition to clarifying some aspects of the residential rental tenure zoning, the new bylaw corrects some errors by the city, according to staff. Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services, said the zoning restricts the occupancy of the units to rental only, so residential units with this zoning cannot be occupied by the owner.The exception is where a unit was already occupied by the owner of a property before the zone was put into place.

As part of Monday’s public hearing, the city received more than 200 pieces of correspondence, including many form letters from people supporting the bylaw. Representatives of the six buildings and the Urban Development Institute (UDI) and two local residents spoke against the proposal at the public hearing. “The impact of your decisions, as well as the result of the petition currently against this council (for) this policy is being watched very closely. Our members, investors, financial institutions will now question whether the city in the

future, without consultation, will quickly downzone other properties in terms of tenure, land use or density,” said Anne McMullin, president and CEO of the Urban Development Institute. “New Westminster’s previous deserved reputation as a reliable municipality for future commercial, industrial, strata or rental housing projects is at incredible risk.” Through freedom on information requests, McMullin said the UDI learned the city had been working on the initiative prior to the October 2018 civic election and had identified the impacted

property owners, something she said contradicted what city officials told the UDI and building owners after the city introduced the original bylaw. “This is the most unfair, not transparent consultation and communication we have had with any municipality in my years working at UDI,” she said. “The trust between the development community and the city has been deeply eroded by this. I can’t recall another time we have had to rely on FOIs to decipher the intent of local staff and council.” Continued on page 3

City Beat PARKS

Brow residents want city to buy empty lot

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Brow of the Hill residents are petitioning city hall to preserve greenspace in their neighbourhood by buying a piece of property that may soon be up for sale. Melanie Dubowits, a member of the Brow of the Hill Residents’ Association, has signed a petition urging the City of New Westminster to buy the empty lot at 1009 Cornwall St. Dubowits, a mom of three “very active boys,” lives across the street from the empty lot. “I definitely saw a need to preserve green space, keep the trees in the neighbourhood, and ensure that my kids had a safe place to be kids, that wasn’t a 15-minute walk from our house,” she said in an email to the Record. “Along with the stats that show our area has the lowest amount of park space per resident and a large number of apartments and condos, we also have a low mature-tree count. I see kids from the apartment building on 10th street at Cornwall playing in the grass on a busy road with no place to play close to home.” Brow of the Hill residents have launched an online petition calling on the city to act now to purchase and protect this green space as a permanent park.The petition is found at www. change.org (search for Brow of the Hill). “It has come to our attention that 1009 Cornwall will be listed for sale on the open market within weeks. This existing green space, and with it our neighbourhood’s best opportunity for a new park, will soon be gone. However, all hope is not lost.The property owner has confirmed that they

PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER are willing to sell to the city for fair market value,” said the petition. “We also know that the city has considered purchasing this property in the past.” Brow of the Hill residents are calling on their neighbours and other concerned citizens to join them in demanding action before it is too late. Residents set up a table in front a house next to the site that was on the May 26 Heritage Homes Tour, in order to get signatures for their petition and raise awareness about the issue. “For nearly 40 years the empty lot at 1009 Cornwall St. has been used as passive green space for our neighbourhood.This beautiful little sanctuary is the home of mature walnut and

ginkgo biloba trees that are over 100 years old.The natural environment provides home to urban wildlife and

much-needed respite from the heat in an area with little green space,” said the petition. “This is the per-

fect location for a permanent neighborhood park. Just imagine having a place nearby for kids to play or

a place for a quick retreat under the shade of mature trees.Think of the community that could be built.” In February 2018, a delegation from the Brow of the Hill Residents’ Association appeared before city council to appeal to the city to introduce some short-term and long-term initiatives aimed at improving the livability of the neighbourhood by planting more trees and creating more parks.They noted that the neighbourhood continues to densify and accommodate more residents, but the city has created little greenspace in Brow of the Hill for decades. After reading a newspaper article about the residents’ association’s hope of having more greenspace and parklets in the Brow of the Hill neighbourhood, Dubowits said she and her partner thought it would be fabulous if the vacant lot could be used as a pocket park. “This lot is perfect for something like this,” she said. Dubowits said residents recently learned that the property was going up for sale and felt it was the perfect time for the city to increase the amount of greenspace in the Brow of the Hill, which needs more park space. While she’d be happy if the lot was left as-is – and maybe mowed once in a while – Dubowits said she’d love to see the property include a play structure for kids, a pathway through the site and a community garden for residents living in apartment buildings in the area. She said there’s also talk about seeing if the trees on the site could be designated as heritage trees.

‘See you in court,’ building owner warns council

Continued from page 1 After an hour-long public hearing, council gave third reading to the zoning amendment bylaw related to residential rental tenure zoning. “See you in court,” said one building owner. After council approved the original bylaw, the registered owners of all six strata properties petitioned the Supreme Court of British Columbia to declare bylaw 8078 to be illegal and/

or void, to impose an order quashing the bylaw and to pay costs of the legal action. In July 2018, the province enacted a new authority allowing local governments to enact residential rental tenure zoning so they could protect rental units in existing and future apartment buildings as a way of increasing the supply of rental housing in their communities.While some cities plan to apply the zoning to new construction, New West-

minster was the first city in B.C. to apply the rental residential tenure zoning to existing rental housing stock. Scott Cressey of Cressey Development said the downzoning left owners with no choice but to sue the city. “You are sending a message out to the business community that you are not trustworthy. I don’t think that is the message you want,” he said. “You want to encourage people to build

rental.You want us to build rental.You want other people to build rental.” Gerry Sair said his family has paid “a great deal more in property tax” through the years in order to keep the family-owned 16-unit building on 12th Street stratified. He said the Community Charter states that property owners are entitled to compensation for loss or damages if a municipality injuriously affects their property by the exercising

any of its powers. According to Sair, the bylaw effectively reduces the value of his family’s property, as it now only has value as rental. He said the city has caused measureable economic loss to his family and owners of the other buildings. “A recent appraisal found that the effect of the bylaw was to reduce the sale value of individual lots by a very substantial amount.There are over 230 strata lots di-

vided amongst the six holdings. A conservative estimate is that the city may be on the hook for over $20 million in compensation,” he said. “Let’s think about that – $20 million, maybe more. I think it’s 236 lots. That’s a great deal of compensation you have to pay. Actually it’s not you – it’s the taxpayers, the hardworking people of New Westminster that have to pay that money. And why?”

City Mayor leads campaign for more transit funds Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation is calling on voters to play a role in curing congestion in Metro Vancouver. In the months leading up to October’s federal election, the Mayor’s Council is urging all major parties to commit to curing congestion by creating a Congestion Relief Fund, which would provide funding for sustainable investments in public transit, roads, bridges and active transportation. “Our message is very clear and straightforward. We in this region need permanent, predictable funding for public transit so we can help cure congestion and keep Metro Vancouver moving,” said New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote, chair of the Mayors’ Council. “The fact is, our region has been experiencing tremendous growth, and that growth is expected to continue.” Cote said the Mayors Council launched the Cure

Congestion campaign in April and is now launching the next phase of the campaign, which seeks to engage Metro Vancouver voters and residents in sending a message to federal officials about the importance of predictable, stable funding for public transit. He said the campaign won’t be fully successful unless Metro Vancouver residents engage in it and provide feedback to federal parties. “We need residents to be able to tell the story and make the call for better transit in the Metro Vancouver region. By using a simple email tool that we will be launching today, all residents in Metro Vancouver will be able to directly communicate and help support the cure congestion campaign,” he said. “Together we can make a difference.” At a May 23 press conference held to launch new voter engagement tools at www.curecongestion.ca and a new video advertisement on social media, representatives of a number of Lower Mainland organiza-

tions joined members of the Mayors’ Council to support the initiative, including the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition, Simon Fraser University, UBC and Hub Cycling. “With campuses in Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver, having a dependable and efficient transportation system that works for everyone is vital for Simon Fraser University and the communities we serve,” SFU president Andrew Petter said in a statement. “Further stable federal investments in transportation infrastructure, as contemplated by the Mayors’ 10-year vision, are needed to ensure that we continue to develop the transportation system this growing region so badly needs.” Cote said funding is in place up until 2027 for Phase 2 of the TransLink’s 10-year investment plan, but there’s no secured funding beyond that time for Phase 3 or beyond. He said a whole host of projects planned for the region are reliant on federal funding.

Finding the cure: Mayor Jonathan Cote at a press conference on May 23. PHOTO THERESA MCMANUS

“That is why we are here today to call for a predictable congestion relief fund. With our population continuing to grow and demand for transit on the rise, we need the federal govern-

ment to stay on board,” he said. “I think we need to make it clear that we are not asking for additional funding – what we are asking for from the federal parties is that they make commit-

ments to continue the existing funding that has traditionally been in place but do it in a way that is predictable and stable so that our region can make long-term planning.”

For one thing, employers can no longer force servers to wear high heels, making life easier for women who have to be on their feet for long periods of time. The government has also raised the wages of servers, with steps to further close the wage gap between them and other workers. Now, more needs to be

done to deal with hearing loss. Hearing loss in the workplace can be just as damaging in the service industry as it is in heavy industrial settings, warns WorkSafeBC. It has issued a safety bulletin alerting employers and workers to raise awareness of the risk – saying regular exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels can cause permanent hearing loss to unprotected workers. Studies have found pubs

and nightclubs in B.C. regularly exceed that during a regular shift, said a WorkSafeBC press release. “Noise is a serious and widespread problem in many workplaces, and this includes the service industry,” said Dan Strand, director of prevention services. “Our research has found that most service sector workers and employers are not aware of the risk of hearing loss in their industry.” Although wearing hearing

protection is key to service industry workers,WorkSafeBC points out “bartenders, servers and other workers are often reluctant to use hearing protection because they believe it will make it difficult to communicate with customers. In fact, this is not the case.” WorkSafeBC says that, in fact, wearing hearing protection devices usually allows workers to hear someone speaking to them better than if they didn’t have hearing protection.

“Studies show that when noise levels reach 90 decibels or higher, hearing protection actually improves your ability to hear speech,” said Strand. WorkSafeBC said if noise levels exceed 85 decibels in an eight-hour shift, then employers are required to have a noise control and hearing conservation program.The release said WorkSafeBC receives more than 2,000 hearing-loss claims annually where benefits are paid in the form of

hearing aids. The government needs to do more to ensure these programs are enforced. It should also look at possible rules restricting the noise level in these establishments. There will be pushback from the industry, of course, but like the ban on smoking, we feel that a slightly quieter workplace will eventually be accepted by customers – and appreciated by staff.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

TMX suit is about political capital Nobody should be surprised that Attorney-General David Eby was quick to declare the B.C. government will appeal the decisive court ruling on who controls the flow of oil between provinces. The lack of emotion attached to his pronouncement, however, was telling – another indication the BC NDP’s desire is for this issue to just go away, even with that pending appeal. The NDP is walking a political tightrope on the Trans Mountain project as it works to placate environmentalists within the party, while still supporting the resource industry. The party has long said it would use “every tool in the toolbox” to fight Trans Mountain, but the toolbox really only had one weak and tepid “tool.” That tool was this court case, considered a bit of a Hail Mary.The government provided no legal evidence that a province could control what is a federally regulated entity. Nevertheless, the NDP had to do something to make it look like it was trying to block the pipeline. Environment Minister George Heyman sheepishly admitted early on upon taking office that there was absolutely nothing “legally” the government could do to stop its construction. Hence, the rather novel court argument about jurisdiction. As expected, the B.C. Court of Appeal made short work of it, giving the argument a 5-0 drubbing.

And given the voluminous case evidence and precedents provided by Justice Mary Newbury in her 50page ruling, it seems unlikely the B.C. government can sway the Supreme Court of Canada. It may all be a waste of tax dollars, but it is political capital that the NDP is more concerned with accumulating. An appeal will allow B.C. Premier John Horgan to be able to say he did what he could to stop the pipeline and that will be the end of things. Some environmental groups will be upset, but they were upset with the decisions to finish the Site C dam and woo the LNG industry into this province and that opposition mattered little. Some have mistakenly thought that launching the appeal was designed to keep the B.C. Green Party in check to ensure it continues keeping the NDP in power. That is a misread of the reality that has emerged about the relationship between the two parties (for all their criticism and complaining, it has become quite clear the B.C. Greens will never take down this government). No, this appeal of an apparent hopeless cause simply reflects the fact that the NDP had one more “tool” at its disposal and had to use it. But once the appeal process is over, the party will no doubt be glad to move on from a fight that will end with a whimper, not a bang. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Toe to toe with towing company

A local woman was on a crusade against a local towing company that had charged her daughter $100 to retrieve a towed vehicle. Performance Towing ran the Vancouver Pay-N-Park Eighth Street lot under the SkyTrain guideway. Mary Reeves organized a court action against the company, whose fees exceeded those allowed under the city’s bylaw. She and friends also took to sitting in a car in the lot from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. on weekend nights, saving people from being towed and costing the towing company as much as $780 in one night. Because the lot used meters similar to the city’s meters, many drivers assumed they didn’t have to feed them after 6 p.m.

Here’s a shoutout to the Hyack organizers Editor: Good morning from a sunny New West. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned in the organization and running of the annual Hyack parade. It is one of the highlights of the year here in New Westminster and so enjoyed by many – who this year had to brave the rain and chill to come to watch the super bands, floats and everyone doing their best to entertain us. A special thanks to all who took part in the parade and smiled and waved as they went past in the rain. The bands were superb, the floats were lovely and the many dancing, waving and marching folk were a joy to behold. Even the rain could not dampen the spirit of the show, and we look forward to next year when we will all turn out again to enjoy a wonderful display – hopefully on a sunny day like today. Thank you all again. Gael McLuckie, New Westminster

Pool plan means too much debate for taxpayers Editor: Re: New Canada Games Pool a ‘financial nightmare for New West’, Record Letters, March 27 There is information in the letter that may not be known and if known would have an influence on borrowing money to pay for a new Canada

Games Pool. I encourage residents and property owners in New Westminster to read this letter. I believe the information here calls for a hold on the borrowing bylaw being passed and a meeting to address these facts. This massive amount of debt for taxpayers now and to pass on to future taxpayers of New Westminster is not in my opinion necessary and not in our best interest. Better planning is needed. Percy MacKerricher, New Westminster

This notice is to advise that effective Sunday, June 2, 2019 public parking will no longer be available at 660 Quayside Drive. Upon closure of the lot, a new public parking lot will be open nearby at RiverSky (988 - 1000 Quayside Drive).

CTF sounds more like oil lobbyists than a watchdog Editor: In a New Westminster Record article by Kelvin Gawley, Kris Sims of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is reported complaining about the recent increases of 40 cents in gas prices, and asking that gas taxes be slashed. This was despite the fact that only one cent of the increase was due to the recent increase in carbon tax and the rest a profit for gas companies. She sounded more like a lobbyist for the oil industry than a citizens’ advocate. It is interesting to me that one of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s stands is for transparency in government spending, but the federation refuses to reveal its own source of funding, or say how much money it receives from the oil industry or foreign sources.

Film revenues in New West dropped in 2018 Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A decline in filming revenue in New Westminster in 2018 is being attributed to major construction and watermain replacement projects in the downtown – and traffic impacts related to that work. A staff report states the city issued 107 permits and had 128 days of filming in 2018, which resulted in gross revenues of $823,009. That was down from the record-setting $1,000,831 in 2017 and from $908,907 in 2016. Revenue generated by the city from filming includes fees for using civic locations, administration charges, licence fees, inspection fees, and fees to “purchase” civic services such as policing. “The downtown and Queen’s Park neighbourhoods continue to be the

most popular filming destinations,” said the report. “To promote filming sustainably, staff tries to distribute filming activity throughout the city.” TV series that filmed in New West in 2018 included Supernatural, The Good Doctor, Arrow, The Flash, Once Upon a Time and Blue Book. Other filming that took place in the city included feature films such as The Art of Racing in the Rain, Purple Harvest and Two Hearts; TV movies, including Perfect Bride 2, All of My Heart 3, Mansion Splitters and Hope at Christmas; and a variety of pilots,TV commercials, public service announcements, student productions and documentaries. According to staff, it’s estimated that 128 days of filming generated between $1.28 and $2.56 million of supplemental income to residents and merchants,

as one day of filming on a TV series results in direct spending of $10,000 to $20,000. The report stated good news stories related to filming are frequent and mostly unknown, with 2018 examples including: ! Man In the High Castle, a now-cancelled TV series that has filmed at city hall, donated $1,000 to the Museum of the Royal Westminster Regiment Historical Society. ! Grape Hemlock, a TV series that uses a reoccurring location in Queen’s Park, brought in a number of food trucks and invited nearby residents to dinner. ! A Nordstrom TV commercial invited residents to watch filming and let local kids call out “action” and “cut” and help operate the cameras.

WHAT A DAY:

Clearly, Mother Nature missed the memo about not raining on our parade, as the Hyack International Parade faced some seriously soggy skies on Saturday, May 25. But participants and viewers alike were undeterred, keeping the enthusiasm going with some 100 entries – including floats, marching bands, and a variety of community groups and organizations. Top left, 21-monthold Leonard Karaba was well prepared for the weather. Above, visiting royalty from the Washington State Apple Blossom Festival didn’t let the weather dampen their enthusiasm. See www.newwestrecord.ca for a photo gallery.

Polka time: Above, the float from Leavenworth, Wash. brought a touch of Bavaria to the proceedings – and kept viewers dancing along to a variety of beer-hall-inspired tunes. At right, above, Bernie Legge Cultural Award winner Leanne Ewen and family members got to stay dry while riding in the parade. At right, visiting royalty from Peachfest likely found New West slightly less sunny than Penticton. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

The Melville Boys, by Norm Foster, is onstage at the Bernie Legge Theatre from June 8 to 29, with previews June 6 and 7. The play, directed by Kayt Roth, is described as a “tender comedy” that follows the story of two brothers who plan a relaxing weekend trip full of fishing, junk food and beer – and of confronting elder brother Lee’s terminal illness.Their trip is thrown for a loop when they meet two attractive sisters who inadvertently change more than the brothers’ weekend plans. Richard Guenther stars as Lee, the level-headed older brother who is coming to terms with his fate, and Jeff Wyndham is Owen, the rash younger brother who just wants things to be the way they used to be. They’re joined by Emma Greenhalgh and Arianna

Community New mural part of union’s reconciliation efforts

Five-storey high mural created by Indigenous artist now graces union’s downtown headquarters Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A massive mural is the latest step that a New Westminster-based union is taking to address reconciliation. United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1518 is celebrating the official unveiling of its new wall mural, Salmon Arrows, on Friday, May 31 at 1 p.m. at 350 Columbia St. Rhonda Larrabee, chief of the Qayqayt First Nation, will offer a traditional welcome and territorial acknowledgement, followed by a brief artist statement by Harris. Community members are welcome to attend the ceremony, which will also be attended by local dignitaries. Light refreshments will be served, and a commemorative Salmon Arrows postcard will be offered to all who attend. Spanning five storeys, Salmon Arrows is a site-specific mural created by Ron-

nie Dean Harris, a Stó:lō/ St’át’imc/Nlaka’pamus multimedia artist based in Langley. Salmon Arrows is a contemporary Salish design that depicts sockeye salmon swimming up the river, with arrows representing the ancient instinct of salmon species to migrate to the ocean and back to the water systems where they were hatched.The office is located on a Columbia Street site overlooking the Fraser River. According to a press release, UFCW 1518 commissioned Harris to design and install the mural as part of the union’s commitment to reconciliation. It also serves as an acknowledgement that its office is located on the unceded territory of the Qayqyat First Nation. “As leaders and activists in the labour movement, it’s imperative that we engage in meaningful reconciliation whenever we can, whether it’s participating in cultur-

al training, acknowledging unceded territory or publicly supporting our First Nations, as we did with our solidarity statement for the We’suwet’en,” said UFCW 1518 president Kim Novak in a press release. UFCW 1518 has taken a number of actions toward reconciliation including: renaming all boardrooms in its New West office after First Nations in regions where its members live and work; providing the Blanket Exercise (which aims to create truth, understanding and reconciliation about Indigenous and non-Indigenous people) for members,

leadership and staff; placing a territorial acknowledgement on its website (ufcw1518.com); and posting a workplace reconciliation info-sheet on all union bulletin boards in UFCW 1518 certified workplaces. It also regularly works to promote Indigenous History Month and other events acknowledging First Nations history and culture. “These are small steps, but they move us closer to reconciliation by ensuring that we honour our First Nations and learn how to be allies at work and in our communities,” Novak said.

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.

Celebrating Seniors

Here’s how you can honour an extraordinary senior Do you know an extraordinary senior deserving of some recognition? Retirement Concepts, which provides services, care and housing to seniors across British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec, is teaming up with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and the Pacific National Exhibition and calling on British Columbians to nominate outstanding seniors in their communities for the second annual Extraordinary Senior Award. “We are so pleased to be hosting the Extraordinary Senior Award for the second year and to once again recognize people within our communities that go above and beyond to help others,” says Jennie Deneka, a partner in Retirement Concepts. “At Retirement Concepts, we are fortunate to see ex-

traordinary seniors each day and know first-hand the incredible contributions they make across organizations, charities, and community initiatives.” Nominees must be over the age of 65 and residents of British Columbia. Nominations for the Extraordinary Senior Award are being accepted online until July 15. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. says it’s fortunate to have more than 750 volunteers across the province who choose to spend their time building valuable relationships and developing meaningful connections to help others. “Our volunteers ensure our fundraisers are successful, our resource centres stay open, our support groups are available when people need them the most

and that the voices of people affected by dementia are heard at all levels of government,” Maria Howard, CEO of Alzheimer Society of B.C., says in a press release. “Much of this volunteer work is supported by incredible seniors – community leaders who make B.C. a better place for people living with dementia. We’re excited to celebrate all they do.” Recipients of the Extraordinary Senior Award will receive their awards at Seniors Day at the Fair at the PNE on Aug. 22.They’ll also receive a VIP day at The Fair at the PNE, which includes admission and parking for four, dinner for two at Hendricks Resto-Lounge in the Westin Grand Hotel, accommodation at the Westin Grand Hotel and travel to the PNE.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Retirement Concepts and the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to host the second annual Extraordinary Senior Award and acknowledge those over 65 who make outstanding con-

tributions to our communities,” PNE president and CEO Shelley Frost said in a press release. “The Fair at the PNE is so fortunate to be able to host this important event, as so many of those who come to the fair

Food security is an issue for seniors in New West John Stark

special to the Record

The City of NewWestminster was contacted by a senior who received an eviction notice in order to facilitate renovations in her rental building. The senior had recently relocated to a nearby rental building; however, her monthly rent is considerably higher. As a result, the senior is finding it difficult to live on her fixed income and was inquiring as to food and meal programs in her neighbourhood. In talking to the senior, she stated that she was receiving a rent supplement under the Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER) program. She further stated that she had not applied for subsidized housing under the BC Housing Registry but had heard that there are long waitlists for such housing. (In April 2019, there were 214 seniors on the registry who are looking for subsidized housing in New Westminster.) The senior had very limited knowledge of available food programming, which is understandable as she had never experienced food insecurity in the past, and she was apprehensive about crowds and lineups. Although not explicitly stated, there appeared to be a concern that others would see and judge her. As such, the stigma associated with poverty and food insecurity was a potential barrier to her receiving assistance.The senior also stated that she had diabetes, thus had a restricted diet. This raised the question of how prevalent is food insecurity amongst seniors and what resources are available to assist them in NewWestminster. People are food insecure when: (1) they worry they will not be able to afford adequate food; (2) they eat sub-optimal food because they cannot afford better; and (3) they skip meals because they are unable to purchase enough food. In March 2016, 103,464 people received food from a food bank in British Columbia; which represented a 32.5 per cent increase since March 2008. In 2017, 429 people received food in an average week from the GreaterVancouver Food Bank Society in NewWest-

minster. A large number of people accessing a food bank are on some form of government assistance, including a pension.The high cost of housing is a key driver of food bank usage, with 66 per cent of people who use a food bank paying market-level rents. A complete, nutritious diet is critical to good health. As such, food insecurity is associated with an increased risk for conditions such as asthma, diabetes and high blood pressure. Seniors who are food insecure are 40 per cent more likely to develop congestive heart failure, 53 per cent more likely to report a heart attack and 60 per cent more likely to experience depression. There are many organizations that are working to address food insecurity in New Westminster and several publications listing resources. One such publication is the Helping Hands brochure, which lists food and meal programs, including locations and times when available. Another publication is the Fraser Health Low Cost Food Directory, which also includes community kitchen and cooking programs. For the senior in question, recent changes related to food bank delivery may allay many of her fears. For example, the GreaterVancouver Food Bank Society in NewWestminster offers staggered entry hours to accommodate those requiring extra assistance and time; empowers users to make their own food choices; accommodates dietary needs and preferences; and provides opportunities for social connections. In 2018, the City of New Westminster, with a grant from theVancouver Foundation, developed a Food Security Action Plan.This plan, which involved over 30

community, faith, settlement and social service organizations in its development, identifies needs and gaps and proposes 38 actions to enhance food security. The NewWestminster Homelessness Coalition Society and the NewWestminster Community Food Action Committee, with a grant from the City, will be responsible for plan implementation. The city is also working on a number of housing initiatives to address renovictions (in which some landlords evict their tenants under the guise of performing major renovations and then significantly increase the rent) and increase the supply of below-market and non-market rental housing. The city has also partnered on a Rent Bank program, which provides lowinterest loans to people at-risk of eviction.These housing initiatives, plus others, recognize the important role that housing affordability plays with regard to poverty, food insecurity and homelessness. In moving forward, it is envisioned that people who find themselves food insecure will have ready access to information about available programs; will be able to easily locate and utilize food and meal programs; will be able to meet their dietary needs and preferences; and will be able to do so in a dignified and respectful manner. In so doing, the senior in question will feel empowered and supported, and will not be forced to choose between buying food and paying other bills. For more on resources and the action plan, refer to the Food Security Action Plan at www.newwestcity.ca/ community-poverty-reduction-initiative. John Stark is the senior social planner for the City of NewWestminster.

Then, from June 5 to 30, the gallery will feature Our Journey to Here, a grad

Quan Gifford R.D. (Denturist) New West Dentureworks Inc. Since completing an extensive technical trade program at age 19, followed by an 18-month apprenticeship with a dedicated and highly talented mentor, Denturist Quan Gifford, R.D. (Denturist) has been driven to provide the very best in dentures and advanced procedures. With over 18 years of experience, she continues to be passionate about education and believes a big part of her job is to educate patients about their dentures so that they can make wellinformed decisions. “Being upfront, honest and more importantly kind while providing high standards in quality of materials and products is what drives us,” says Quan. “For me, service is also about being there for your patients without charging for extra time spent.” With over 20 ﬁve-star ratings on Google reviews, this attitude is certainly appreciated. Since opening her clinic in 2000, Quan ensures that each patient attains their desired denture goals, whether for cosmetic reasons or to optimize full dental function with either full removable dentures or permanent denture solutions. Working closely with some of the Lower Mainland’s top dental professionals and specialists, the clinic delivers a comfortable, relaxed and enjoyable experience. Quan’s dental ofﬁce is state of the art, and specializes in the fabrication of removable dentures; partial dentures or complete

dentures, refitting and immediate repairs pertaining to dentures. Rest assured, Quan can bring back a smile to those who have lost their confidence because of problems with their dentures. An example of the clinic’s utilization of advanced industry technologies is their adaptation of a huge advance in suction lower denture technology. It eliminates the need for fussy adhesives and expensive implants as it provides outstanding lower suction. The procedure can only be done by certified clinicians, which Quan is. Quan believes the key to the practice’s success is its knowledgeable, friendly, caring, empathetic, highly skilled team of professional support staff. Additionally, she strives to provide her clients with the very best denture services available by continually improving her technique and expanding her knowledge in the industry, staying current with the latest developments and products. “I attend continued education on a yearly basis with various seminars and or hands on participation with new trends,” she adds. Quan is also a big proponent of paying it forward. Having had a truly talented and wonderful mentor, this dynamic professional provides a learning environment for young entrepreneurs by opening her doors to mentor and inspire others. Furthermore, Quan is deeply committed to the community that has supported her

over the years. “I’m deeply involved with the young children in our community,” she says. “I volunteer many hours at schools and have been involved with fundraising with various sports teams in our community. In addition, once a year I provide pro bono services for patients who are struggling financially.” New West Dentureworks Inc. presents donations to many local public schools and churches on a regular basis. For those aspiring to enter the field, Quan’s advice remains: “Be honest and kind, everything is reflective in how you treat others whether in business or in life. Moreover, keep good lines of communication open between you and your patients as well as other dental professionals.” Discover how Quan and her professional team can help give you that smile you dreamed of.

Patti Goss Patti & Wes Goss Real Estate In spite of the ever-changing real estate climate, Patti Goss continues to remain one of New Westminster’s top award winning realtors. What’s her secret? With almost 30 years in the industry, this dynamic realtor has demonstrated an adaptability to change, attention to detail and an ability to establish great client relationships. Year after year, Patti and son Wes Goss have both maintained strong client relationships and fostered new ones through their unending pool of referrals. Those who work with Patti and Wes are more than happy to share the wealth with friends and family. Here is what Patti had to say recently with her experience in the real estate industry: “Where have the years gone? Still loving my work as a real estate associate with RE/MAX Advantage. And it has only gotten better with my son Wes joining me. Lots of changes over

the years to be sure, but I feel it has greatly beneﬁted the industry and opened up a wealth of information for buyers and sellers. Being in real estate has also given me the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life, who in turn have introduced me to all sorts of opportunities that I may have not learned about. There are so many groups and organizations in this wonderful city looking for volunteers, members, and sponsors. So many great people doing a lot of great things to make our city even better. I, myself have been involved with many organizations over the years including Rotary, ten years as a director with the Chamber of Commerce, 25 years with ‘Meals on Wheels’, 6 years as a director with the Burnaby, New West Tri-City real estate division, sponsor of the Arts Council’s Cultural Crawl, the New Westminster Youth

Ambassador program, contributor to the Salmonbellies Lacrosse Association, the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association, and the ‘Coldest Night of the Year’. Both Wes and I are regular contributors to the ‘Children’s Miracle Network’.” At the 2018 Platinum Awards, Patti was nominated for Citizen of the Year. This recognition is a tribute to her signiﬁcance not only in New West real estate, but in New West as a community. LET US GUIDE YOU HOME.

Tahora Eslahian and Tina Ruggiero Triniti Laser Clinic & Medi Spa The aesthetic industry—and particularly the non-surgical aesthetic industry—is exploding. When it comes to the best in the city, multiple awardwinning Triniti Laser Clinic & Medi Spa ranks high. With more than three decades of combined experience, skin care specialists and laser technicians, Tahora Eslahian and Tina Ruggiero, are the power house duo behind Triniti Laser Clinic & Medi Spa. Specializing in highly personalized and customized treatments focused on our active West coast lifestyle - anti-aging, laser hair removal, facials, permanent makeup, reflexology and other treatments – in addition, Triniti combines a medical skin care clinic that operates under the supervision of a medical director. Triniti Laser Clinic & Medi Spa focuses on providing medical-grade treatments to correct a variety of skin conditions including: lines and wrinkles, pigmentation issues, acne, redness, volume loss, and broken capillaries, as well as botox, fillers, PRP Hair Restoration, tattoo removal, body contouring, laser hair removal, permanent makeup, reflexology and more. Both businesswomen come with a wealth of experience. Tahora has worked for the two biggest laser companies in the world and trains all physicians and nurses on all laser technology, while Tina has 10 years of specialized training as a certified laser technician.

Triniti Laser Clinic & Medi Spa is a state-of-the-art laser and skin facility, performing a full range of cosmetic laser procedures. Each member of its highly talented team is a fully trained medical specialist, who provides each client with the highest standard of care in a conﬁdential non-hospital environment.

there is a really effective, non-invasive rejuvenating treatment that boosts collagen and can reserve the signs of aging. It’s called Sublime Skin Tightening. Using radio frequency and infrared technology, the treatment heats the dermis and stimulates collagen production.

When it comes to skin care, once again Triniti excels. Both would never think to use store-bought products, because they say: over-the-counter products are typically 95 per cent ﬁllers, while products from a spa are slightly better with 30 to 40 per cent ﬁllers.

Through meeting and forming strong relationships with their patients, Tahora and Tina take the time to discover about their lifestyles and preferences, so they are able to deliver world-class, effective and personalized skin care solutions to help their clients look and feel their best.

Medical spa products have no ﬁllers, instead active ingredients that are pharmaceutical grade. Triniti features ZO® Medical Therapeutic Solutions Products as well as Vivier a medical pharmaceutical grade skin care line. Also available is Eminence, an organic skin care line. Medical spa products stand above the crowd because they contain between 90 to 95 per cent active ingredients and are created under a physician. When it comes to getting rid of unwanted fat, Triniti offers Coolsculpting. This non-surgical body sculpting procedure targets stubborn pockets of fat that are typically resistant to a healthy diet and regular exercise. “We are born with a certain amount of fat cells, and as we age, they get larger,” says Tahora. “Coolsculpting is great for those problematic areas but it is important to remember it is not a weight loss treatment.”

Tahora and Tina are driven by a single mandate: HELPING PEOPLE. That dedication and commitment to excellence in customer service and treatments have garnered them several accolades. Discover what so many other satisﬁed customers have. Triniti Laser Clinic & Medi Spa offers free skin analysis as well as consultations. For more information, visit www.trinitilaser.com.

Zahra Zahra Hakim was born to bring a smile to people. Her presence lights up any room she enters and she is fully engaged with the people she speaks with. It was inevitable that she chose a profession and business that brings her in constant contact with others and also spreads the joy and beauty that exudes from her.

She attributes her longstanding reputation to her strong belief in providing superior customer service. “I love people and interacting with people,” she says. “I just want to provide good customer service, which is the most important thing in establishing a good relationship with customers.” This personal touch is evident in her motto, to be involved. “I’m a part of their lives and they’re a part of mine,” she says about her clients, who are also her friends.

She’s one of New Westminster’s stalwarts in the hair styling profession and is widely known by only her ﬁrst name. While she received her training in England at the prestigious Tony & Guy, and is a graduate of Suki’s International and is a professional Goldwell colourist, it’s her personality that makes her stand out in a competitive industry ﬁeld.

As to why she entered the business, Zahra says she was inspired by her children. “My kids pushed me to start this, they said that I was a good hearted person and needed to spread that to others.”

Having served the community in New Westminster for over 20 years, Zahra has built a loyal clientele with her unique approach to hair styling. She prides herself in taking the time to understand each client’s lifestyle and personality then customizing their hair styling accordingly.

She also felt compelled to give back to the community that was home to her. “When I came to Canada 30 years ago, I felt so welcomed by people here, I wanted to say thank you for that.” Zahra continues to say thank you with her fundraising, donations and by offering free hair styling services to those in

the community, including Last Door Recovery, high schools and other charities. This dedicated professional travels extensively and hones her skills at some of the best hair salons around the world, and she continues to update her skills by taking part in industry courses and seminars around the Lower Mainland. Zahra is proud to live and work in New Westminster and would like to thank her clients for their invaluable support. She looks forward to the opportunity to take care of all your hair design needs.

Jeanie Bezdan, RMT Managing Partner Royal City Health & Manual Therapy Inc. How did you get involved in this industry? What inspired you to enter into this industry and begin your business? I became interested in the program after meeting my now husband and business partner (Rick Tkach), who was studying for his board exams. When I started practicing with him in 1995 we found ourselves regularly recommending physiotherapy to our clients, so we decided to integrate. What skills are required to succeed in this industry? We have a top team of therapists including six physiotherapists, six massage therapists, a dietitian and clinical counsellor. Our front desk staff are highly professional and provide a friendly, warm and welcoming environment. Clients have commented that they feel a good “vibe” when walking through our door. Over the last 25 years our clinic has nurtured significant good will, and now a large number of our new clients find us through word of mouth, and we often see entire families. Technology has had a profound effect on how we all do business. What applications are you using to benefit your business? We have a spacious, modern gym, and last year we purchased a Shockwave machine for treatment of chronic injuries. Each practitioner offers a range of skills to help clients with their pain. Since our technology is mostly in

our hands, our practitioners regularly invest in continuing education, keeping them on the forefront of any new techniques. What broader plans do you have for the future of your business? Our future plans include an expansion, and the recruitment of more top therapists. Our clinic now hosts the West Coast College of Massage Therapy student outreach every Saturday. We offer full treatments for $30. We also have a massage therapy graduate who is interning at our clinic. How do you describe your management style? I am a big believer in old-fashioned lists, and early in the morning I sip my coffee and write out what I plan to accomplish that day. What are the top three traits you look for in hiring staff? Plans for continuing education. Interest in working as a team member. Has researched our clinic. Is there a person who has inspired you to go beyond your comfort level? I come from a family of entrepreneurs. My sister purchased our dad’s business years ago and has expanded that company, and she has been a source of inspiration for me. Our own staff, including our front desk manager Joniel have shown that they are motivated to step out of their comfort zone, and have taken initiative on many occasions.

Of your accomplishments, what are you most proud of? We won Reader’s Choice award for Best Clinic in 2016, and our physios Nick and Victor have won Three Best Rated and the A-List. We regularly raise funds for charity, including Children’s Hospital, the Food Bank, Canadian Cancer Society and the Empty Stocking Fund. As a business owner, what are your top three priorities? Our goal is to provide the best in care with the latest technology, in a friendly and welcoming environment. What advice have you found useful? What advice would you give to someone starting out? Explore the large range of continuing education courses available. Find a mentor who can help you develop your techniques, and focus on providing the best service you possibly can to your clients.

Arts & Entertainment SPOTLIGHT ON: KISMET IN CONCERT WHAT’S HAPPENING? The New Westminster Symphony Orchestra and Royal City Musical Theatre are teaming up to present Kismet in Concert Style. WHEN AND WHERE? It’s on Sunday, June 2 at 2 p.m. in the Massey Theatre,

735 Eighth Ave. WHAT’S KISMET ALL ABOUT? Kismet, as musical theatre fans may already know, is the renowned 1954 Broadway show that won the Tony Award for Best Musical. It’s based on the melodies

of famed Russian composer Alexander Borodin, with lyrics and musical adaptation by Robert Wright and George Forrest. The musical produced such wellloved standards as Stranger in Paradise, Baubles, Bangles and Beads, and This Is My Beloved. “Kismet takes place during the time of Aladdin and Sinbad and follows the exploits of a destitute beggar known as The Poet, over the course of one magical day, during which he

has to rely on his wits and kismet – or fate, as we know it – to make his fortune, save his hand and even his head from being lopped off, romance the evil Wazir’s wife, and see his lovely daughter Marsinah married off to the handsome Caliph,” says a write-up about the show. WHO’S PERFORMING? Royal City Musical Theatre’s artistic director, Valerie Easton, has assembled a stellar cast of performers to bring

the classic musical to life, supported by the nearly 40-member orchestra under the direction of conductor Jin (Jack) Zhang.

seems hard to believe it’s never happened before. Now that it’s happening, why would you miss it? You’ll rarely get a chance to see Kismet onstage – and the musical, by the way, is marking its 65th anniversary this year.

WHY SHOULD I GO? Because, believe it or not, it’s the first time the two major resident companies of the Massey Theatre have come together on a project. The symphony is marking its 75th consecutive year of concerts, and Royal City Musical Theatre just marked its 30th anniversary, so it

Community Are you oversharing about your child’s life on social media? You’re not alone Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I’m reviewing candidates for hire, one of the first things I do when I’m interested in bringing someone in for an interview is scour their social media. While it feels strange to browse through their selfies and see silly snapshots of their social lives, I find searching through social media platforms to be a valuable tool when evaluating a person’s character and judgment – especially as it relates to their behaviour in the online space. It’s not the duck-face close ups, or cocktail-swigging party shots that put up red flags for me, but those off-the-cuff, ill-considered social media posts that are the greatest cause for concern. I’ve been in the uncomfortable circumstance of having to let someone go due to poor judgment made

online. One bad tweet, meant in jest, ended up costing someone his job. And, unfortunately nowadays, this is becoming a common occurrence. In an article shared in The Sydney Morning Herald titled “The demise of would-be MPs is a warning to oversharing parents,” it is revealed that a federal Labour candidate in Melbourne withdrew from the race thanks to revelations about his past inappropriate social media posts – and candidates from other parties have now stepped down for similar reasons as well. As social media continues to evolve, it’s becoming more important for parents to educate our children about the dangers of irresponsible posting online. Children need to understand that once a photo or comment is shared, it can live on forever.Their parents could potentially see it, as well as their future employers. I always tell my children

that when it comes to their devices, no matter the settings or cyber secrets they may think they know, there is simply no such thing as privacy. If you share it, someone will see it. But the issue of irresponsible posting doesn’t stop at the posters themselves anymore. Now, parents are guilty of oversharing, too. I’m often surprised by the number of parents who share intimate details about their child’s medical conditions, mental disorders, or behavioural struggles online. I understand the need to bond over the challenges of parenting, but it’s important to know that no online group is a security-safe space. The article in the Herald concludes with an important message, that “this election has taught us that there are no limits to how deep people will dig for dirt.

ASK A PERSONAL TRAINER

Q A

Is it true that exercise helps with bone strength?

Yes, it’s true! Excellent question! We sometimes forget that exercise helps our bones too! Bone strength results from the stress we apply on them when IRINA ALMASAN we go about our daily lives: walking, OWNER/PERSONAL TRAINER lifting groceries, our kids, etc. When our lives tend towards being sedentary, that effect is lost and our bones lose their strength. It’s the equivalent of muscle atrophy, but for bones. As a result, they become weaker and contain more pores, making them brittle and susceptible to breaking. It’s the reason falls become such a big issue for the elderly. Using weights in your exercise routine is a fantastic way to keep your bones strong and combat the effect of ageing and being too sedentary. Make sure to incorporate exercises for the chest, back, legs, arms and the core, using gym machines, free weights or resistance bands.

Q A

My 10 yr old son is having trouble falling asleep, do you have any thoughts?

Yes! Sleep concerns are so common in kids, and are one of the biggest reasons parents bring their children in to see me. Firstly, I address diet DR. STEPHANIE PELTZ, ND and lifestyle. I recommend reducing sugar (especially before bed), as well as ensuring the child is eating adequate protein. Hydration is important, but look out if they drink too much water just before bed, as this will of course disrupt sleep. I also look into how much fresh air, movement, and screen time the child is engaging in. Increase fresh air and movement, and decrease screen time and you’re sure to see a change. There are also many herbs and remedies that are safe and effective for improving sleep in children (i.e. lavender, magnesium, melatonin and more). I individualize these recommendations to ﬁt the speciﬁc picture. Sweet dreams!

When the new Honorable Judge Begbie Secondary School opens its doors next year, the entire New Westminster real estate market will DERRICK THORNHILL feel a shot in the arm. I would go as Park Georgia Realty far as to suggest, that the new high school will become a hedge against losses in values, that are currently affecting the lower mainland. It’s my experience, that families will do almost anything for a better educational environment for their children. This includes physically moving. Although, this phenomenon has worked against New Westminsterites for many years, it’s about to work in our favor. For those living close to the new high school your homes will beneﬁt the most.

Q A

What is Heat Stroke?

Heat stroke occurs when the body is unable to regulate temperature and is unable to cool down. The body loses its ability to sweat and temperature can rapidly rise to 106°F or higher. If left untreated, heat stroke can lead to death WENDY J SCOTT or permanent disability. Senior citizens RN, BScN, MA (aged 65 years and older) are particularly more vulnerable to hot weather. There are many reasons for this, including obesity and existing health problems in some individuals. Seniors with heart disease, for instance, might ﬁnd it more difﬁcult for their body to circulate blood properly and dissipate heat. Signs of heat stroke include body temperature of 103F or higher; hot, red, dry or damp skin; fast, strong pulse; headache; dizziness; nausea; confusion; losing consciousness (passing out). Call 911 right away – heat stroke is a medical emergency. Move the person to a cooler location. Lower the body temperature with cool cloths or a cool bath. DO NOT give the person anything to drink. www.medicaldaily.com/what-heat-stroke-recognizing-symptoms-elderly-246874

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

My veterinarian is recommending stool testing. I don’t see any worms in the stool so is this necessary?

Stool samples are sent to a laboratory where a DR. MANJU ARORA pathologist checks the sample under a microscope. Stool parasites in our area include roundworm eggs, tapeworm eggs, hookworm eggs, Giardia (‘beaver fever’), and coccidia. All of these parasites can infect humans and stool sampling should be done routinely. Tablet dewormers do not kill parasites other than worms, so it is important to check for other infections. A dog can have a stool infection and not act sick. Worm eggs are microscopic and are not visible in the stool. The actual worms will not be visible in the stool unless there is a very large worm burden and then they can appear in the stool or vomit.

What is a Gua Sha Facial?

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medicine scraping massage technique used gently on the skin of the face with a flat jade or rose quartz stone. The gua sha stone is pulled along distinct meridian paths on the KATIE MARSHALL face and neck to relieve tension in the muscles, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, restore firmness and elasticity, promote a brighter complexion, improve lymphatic drainage, decrease puffiness and increase product absorption. Inflexible fascia, muscle tension, and stagnant lymph are three primary causes for aging which clinical skin care products do not address. This isn’t a quick fix as results are cumulative, which means consistent use is required to reap the rewards. Facial gua sha is an excellent addition to your skincare routine. Ready to give it a try?

Community Freemasons ready to move back to New West Theresa McManus

Wine, oil and corn were used in a ceremony to rededicate a cornerstone at a development site in downtown New Westminster on Saturday. Local freemasons and representatives from the Grand Lodge of British Columbia andYukon gathered to rededicate a 1912 cornerstone on the freemason hall at 508 Agnes St.The plaque was removed from the building when redevelopment of the site got underway. John Harbick, a member of Lewis Lodge, said the ceremony is symbolic of the three lodges “coming home” – something they expect to happen in September.While construction is taking place at the site, Union Solomon Lodge #9, Lewis Lodge #57 and Perfection Lodge #75 are meeting at a lodge hall in North Surrey. “It’s been a long, long process,” he said of getting a new hall. “At one of our

banquets, there was a man there who said they were talking about building a new lodge building in 1961. Buildings age.The roof was leaking. Mold gets in the walls.The boiler went, and we were holding a meeting in November and you could see your breath in the room – that’s how cold it was.” When completed, the site will include a 19-storey highrise and a four-storey

masonic hall that includes the building’s original historic façade. “The cornerstone was actually on the façade of the old building,” Harbick told the Record before the ceremony. “What they are going to do is they are going to symbolically rededicate the cornerstone. Freemasonry has a lot of symbolism.” Local heritage buffs sal-

vaged some of the contents of the old building, but the freemasons also saved some items for reuse in their new home. “Some of the fixtures from the original building will be going back in – like two giant pillars out of wood that are magnificent. They are going to be placed in the building,” Harbick said. “We have had architects involved in this design team. It’s supposed to be spectacular.The original door fixtures have been refinished. It’s been a long process.” Unlike the old building that didn’t even have a foundation, the new stateof-the-art lodge hall will include modern features like Wi-Fi. A fraternal organization that includes a variety of rituals and passwords, freemasons come from all walks of life and all religions (they must believe in a supreme being). The Grand Lodge of British Columbia andYukon website states that freemasonry has been described

as a group of men dedicated to becoming better men and making their community a better place. “The ideal is to strive –

if you see something that needs to be done, you do it. You don’t do it to get all the glory and accolades.You do it because it needed to be

New West has ‘We the North’ link Dr.Alex McKechnie and fellow Fortius co-founder in hunt for basketball title Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Some have billed it as ‘We the North’ vs ‘the Dynasty.’ But it could just as much be about two local doctors getting it done. The National Basketball Association championship final between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors, which tips off today (Thursday), couldn’t be so far, yet so close, to New West. That’s because key players on both clubs – although they do their work on the sidelines and in the training room – are New West’s Alex McKechnie and Burnaby’s Rick Celebrini. For Fortius Sport and Health’s chief operating officer Lynda Cannell, seeing her friends and colleagues reach this pinnacle is both fun and not surprising. “It’s great to see them both reach this point – for Alex, this is not his first time (in an NBA final),” said Cannell. “Alex has been at this a long time; he’s already got five NBA championship rings while with the (L.A.) Lakers,

and I think he was a major reason why Rick chose the path of physiotherapy. (Celebrini) is in it because of Alex’s influence.” The two have strong roots in the local community. The defending champion Warriors have Celebrini on their side as their director of sports medicine and performance, a role he took on last summer.

I’m partial to the Raptors for sure. ... We’ve had them for six training camps

The Burnaby North alumnus relocated to the Bay Area prior to the start of this season, after lengthy stints with both the Vancouver Whitecaps (since 2010) and the Vancouver Canucks (beginning in 2014). A one-time member of the Canadian under-20 national soccer

team, Celebrini turned his focus towards a career in physiotherapy, working with the Canadian men’s alpine ski team at the 1994 and 2002 Winter Olympics. McKechnie, the Raptors’ director of sports science and assistant coach, got his start in the NBA through his work with the likes of Steve Nash and Shaquille O’Neal before joining the Lakers staff in 2000. In 2013, the Scottish-born New Westminster resident signed on with the Raptors. His techniques have garnered praise from numerous athletes, with McKechnie incorporating innovative strategies on core strength. He’s also been credited for helping the likes of Paul Kariya, Michelle Kwan, Jimmy Connors, Terrell Owens and Owen Hargreaves during his lengthy career, which began in 1974 as SFU’s head physiotherapist. With the Lakers, McKechnie has five NBA championship rings. He has been the driving force in Toronto’s annual appearance in Burnaby, bringing the Raptors to B.C.

And while Cannell will be happy for someone no matter who prevails in the NBA final, she admits pulling for We the North. “I’m partial to the Raptors for sure,” she said. “One of the things (McKechnie) has done and committed to do was bring the Raptors to Burnaby.We’ve had them for six training camps, including last summer. “We get to know the players and the coaches well. (McKechnie) brings them here, as a team and in individual sessions, and having Alex on the floor working with the players is really something that has created great learning opportunities for others here at Fortius.” She noted that two other Fortius alum, Stefania Rizzo, the Brooklyn Nets’ director of performance rehabilitation, and Marilyn Adams, director of rehabilitation with the San Antonio Spurs, have followed in their footsteps. “(Both) were instrumental in the early days of Fortius,” she recalls. “They’ve been instrumental in developing the sports science team.”

Despite the absence of the reigning scoring champion, the New Westminster Salmonbellies began the 2019 Western Lacrosse Association season on a Raptors-like roll. With a high-flying, basketballstyling transition game as their template, New West won both in convincing and dramatic fashion last week. They kicked off the season last Thursday without injured forward Logan Schuss but found plenty of offence anyway.They barrelled past the Langley Thunder 14-9 at Queen’s Park Arena, and on Sunday, improved to 2-0 by eking out an 11-9 victory over the Nanaimo Timbermen, thanks to rookie Jeff Henrick’s late marker. The opening 20 minutes in Nanaimo was a tight, low-scoring affair, with the ’Bellies taking a 2-1 advantage into the second period. It was a see-saw battle for part of the middle frame, with markers by the ‘Bellies’ Keegan Bal and former New West junior Drew Belgrave putting the two sides even with 32 minutes to play. Then the visitors went on a run. New West counted four goals to stake out an 8-4 lead and looked ready to cruise. But Nanaimo fought back in the third period and tied it up with 2:47 remaining. However, it only took 11 seconds before the ’Bellies regained the lead, on Henrick’s tally. Jordan McBride finished with four goals and two helpers, while Mitch Jones contributed three goals. Henrick, with his first two as a senior ’Bellie, and Bal, with a goal and four assists, were also major contributors. Brandon Goodwin rounded out the offence. Alexis Buque turned aside 46 shots to pick up his second win, while Nanaimo’s Charles Claxton stopped 41 in the loss. Against Langley, Anthony Malcom and McBride each registered hat tricks while Jones racked up two goals and seven assists. Up 10-5 after 40 minutes, New West had to fend off a Thunder rally that pulled the visitors to within two goals.Three unanswered markers ended the game and Langley’s hopes. Bal, making his return to the New West fold after a four-year absence, notched a pair of goals, while Lyndon Bunio chipped in with a single. Also scoring for New West were newcomers Darryl Robertson, with two goals and two helpers, and Austin Shanks. The Salmonbellies look to extend their hot start on Thursday, 7:30 p.m., when they host the defending WLA playoff champion Maple Ridge Burrards at Queen’s Park Arena.

Hyacks build momentum for BCs Dan Olson

No go for soccer Hyacks With a shortened roster fortified by junior call-ups, the New Westminster Hyacks gave it a good run before falling 2-0 two weeks ago to the Handsworth Royals in the final qualifying game for the AAA provincial soccer tournament.

The New Westminster Secondary track and field team heads to Kelowna this week with a full head of steam. The squad gathered more momentum from a strong performance at the zone championships two weeks ago, which pitted Burnaby-New West athletes against Richmond counterparts. The New West senior boys team accumulated 96 points, edging out district rival Burnaby Mountain for first place.They secured the second-best total in the senior girls division with 80 points, trailing Burnaby Central’s 89. Jeremy Belcher topped the senior boys’ 100-metre dash, edging R.A. McMath’s Liam McLeod with a time of 11.38 seconds – just a hundredthof-a-second between the two. “It was a huge highlight, certainly Jeremy was hoping to do it,” said New West track coach Bryan McMaster. “He started out behind and just kept pushing and edged (McLeod) out at the last second.” It was a sign of things to come. Ryan Jensen would take gold in the 110m hurdles with a time of 18.54, and finish second in the 400m hurdles. On the senior girls’ side, Emma Dolman, Kaitlyn Hanger, Cheyenne McLelland, Salina Ng and Lauryn Savela each copped a top time or dis-

tance in their respective events. Dolman won the 400m hurdle crown with a time of 1:13.04, McLelland prevailed in the 1500m race walk with a time of 13:55.40, while Ng finished first in the 800m with a 2:41.77. Hanger hit 37.83m in the hammerthrow, while Savela posted a javelin gold with a throw of 33.52m. Then the girls’ 4x100m relay team torched the competition, winning by nearly 20m.That quartet, featuring juniors Kimi Tam, Ella Foster, Anja Tjernagel and Grade 11 Dolman, is emblematic of the team’s young roster. “They ran a real strong race, and to have three Grade 10s and a Grade 11 together this year and likely next year is real promising,” said McMaster. For Tjernagel, who anchored the 4x100, it was just one of four gold medals she carted off with at the meet. The 15-year-old may be the fourth sibling to wear Hyack orange in track and field, but she’s doing it in her own way, said McMaster. “Anja takes a different approach to track than her siblings,” the coach noted. “She does it because she enjoys it. Her siblings (Lexi, Raquel and Benjamin) also enjoyed it, but it was a big focus for them. (Anja)’s real talent and potential is in basketball, but she’s enjoying track and setting personal goals.” She won the junior girls’ 100m with

a time of 12.91, reached a personal best of 5.17m in the long jump, and topped the triple jump with a distance of 9.83. Foster won the junior girls’ pole vault with a clearance of 3.04m, while on the junior boys’ circuit, Mahad Amen Ali led the 1500m race with a time of 4:32.40. McMaster expects a team of approximately 15 athletes to make the trip for the provincials May 30 to June 1 in Kelowna. Here are more New West and Glenbrook athletes’ results: GIRLS, senior – Kaitlyn Hanger, 2nd SP; Cheyenne McLelland, 3rd jav; Salina Ng, 3rd 400. Junior – Monika Arcadi, 2nd 800, 1500st, 4th HJ; Emma Hillaby (GL), 2nd HT; Kimi Tam, 2nd 100, 200. Grade 8 (Glenbrook) – Angela Arana, 1st TJ, 4th 800; Emma Hillaby, 5th jav; Avery Tamagi, 2nd 1500; Naylani Uy, 2nd 80h.

Junior – Santi Ainslie, 4th 1500, 1500st; Mahad Amen Ali, 2nd 3000; Evan Beckers, 4th 3000; Roman Nikolaev, 5th TJ; Aiden Post, 3rd HT.

OLIVIA MALCOM Remembrance Vigil June 10th, 2019 – 7:00PM Queen’s Park Arena New Westminster

Please join the Malcom Family for an evening of gratitude and kindness to celebrate the life of their precious angel Olivia who was tragically taken one year ago. Olivia was a shining light to all who knew her. Like the sun, her brightness was radiant and inspired positivity in those who were fortunate enough to have known her in her short time here. She was bigger than life and her lasting impact is undeniable. Her kindness will be treasured and celebrated by the New Westminster community and everyone else she touched. The Malcom Family would like to truly thank every person, community, and organization that has supported us above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. A true testament of the impact and legacy left behind by Olivia.

Thank you

Nell MacLellan

. .

Our Mother, Nell (Dorofay) MacLellan, lived an amazing 100 years and exactly 8 months. She was born in Saskatchewan on August 04, 1918 in a little area called Lily Vale. The nearest town was Pelly. Nell attended White Beech school until 8th grade, she was 14 and she left home to work on a ranch in Alberta cooking for a very large crew and looking after three children. In 1942, Nell married Bill MacLellan in an intimate ceremony in Toronto. The newlyweds had a twoday honeymoon in Niagara Falls before Bill had to return to the Army. [Bill passed away, a victim of COPD, in 2003]. When Nell moved to Vancouver, she completed her hairdressing degree in 1937 at Maxine’s School of Hairdressing and then started teaching hairdressing there. Bill returned from the war in 1945 and a few years later he and his father and uncles built a new home on Grandview Highway in Burnaby (Charlie’s Chocolate Factory is on this land now). Nell opened Nelene’s salon in the living room and slaved there for many years, sometimes working from 7am to 12am. She also worked as a nighttime answering machine operator in the Lee Building on Main Street, and then at VGH as an elevator operator and, also, ward clerk. Some of these simultaneously. The family moved to Kitsilano in Vancouver for about two years and then to the final family home on Capitol Hill. Her working career continued as she performed various surveys for York University around the Lower Mainland and even in Prince Rupert and when Bruce opened Mountain Gems in 1994, customers very much enjoyed her assistance. She also walked down Capitol Hill and up most days!!

COMMUNITY

COMING EVENTS

Nell always had room for visiting relatives and friends and could always make another place or more at the table for meals. And, in 1983, she made room for her daughter and beloved grandson, Duncan. Nell & Bill spent many vacations on fishing trips (mostly in BC) and saw more lakes and rivers and streams than one could imagine existed here. Nell enjoyed travelling and visited Hawaii, Mexico, the Cayman Islands, Scotland, Wales & England, the West Coast of the US and many, many places in Canada. In 1985, she ventured on her own to New Zealand and Australia for 4 months with just a single carry-on bag! In New Zealand she made life-long friends of Tonny & Harry, and Ross & Jan, and in Australia, Margaret & Bernie. After Nell moved down to her apartment, she kept busy with a small front garden and even more busy as other tenants let her do their gardening for them, and playing cards twice a week nearby at Confederation Seniors’ Centre and at Cameron Centre. Nell discovered her favourite pastime - any casino! In 2015, Jan missed a step and pushed Nell who was in front of her out of Nell’s front door, Nell broke her left hip. Although she recovered amazingly quickly, she gave up driving, and gardening, but still spent most days walking up hill to Mcdonald’s for coffee and ice cream; she often went to the cookie store on Hastings, taking cookies to the staff of Mountain Gems. She continued to take walks well into her 99th year. Our mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt, cousin and friend will be missed by us all. Bruce, Jan & Rob, Duncan & Aislyn; Erica & her family; Shirley, Bev & Craig, Judy & her family; Linda; Stefania; Kit & Peter & their family; Doug & Margaret, Jim, and Rick & Annette and all their families; Nellie, Diane & Phyllis & their families; Larry & Aya; Nadia; Wendy & Earl, Ethel, Evlyn & Orville, Robert & Verna, & Joe; Robert & Ann & their family; Don; Heather, Sharen & Audrey & their families, Jo-Anne, Leonard & his family; Mike & Pearl & their family; Mike & Yvonne & their family; Tatiana & her son Alex; Joy; Nieva [our godsend, she loved and looked after mom for many years, enabling her to stay in her home till the end] & Violeta who only came to us last year. And many more family and friends than I can list… Although Nell was beset with a, sometimes, sweet dementia, she seemed happy in her own home and we are very glad we didn’t succumb to the idea of a ‘home’. Nieva, Rob & Bruce took turns staying over at night. Jan arranged her care workers and took control of her medications. In the end, on Saturday, May 04, 2019, she walked over to her chair, sat down, and her heart stopped. A very peaceful way to leave this life and exactly what she wished for… During the last few years, so many of you contacted us specifically to ask about mom and check that she was doing okay, thanks for that caring and thank you all for your love for our mother, Janice and Bruce There will be Lunch at the Confederation Seniors’ Centre on June 08, 2019. Please RSVP to Jan at jmaclellan105@gmail.com by June 4th if you can attend.
