Photographer Jennifer Gauthier wasonhandtocapture the action —see page 3for moreofwhat she found.

Puchmayr said “elected officials area very important conduitinour de mocracy”and they need to be visibleinthe com munity “In this last four years, alot of thejurisdiction of our elected officials has been sort of channelled through themayor’sofficeand through the staff, and Ithink that’staken away thatopportunity for councillorstobemore, youknow, frontand centreinthe community. And that’s whyweelect them,” he said.“We have thatsystem so that there is asort of conduitbetween the citizens thatelectyou and thestaff thatrun your city We have greatstaff,but nobody wantsacitythat’s runbybureaucracy.” Puchmayrwas first elected to city council in 1996 and servedasa councillor until 2005.

AndI don’t want toput theminanawkward spot.Youknow, they’ve got volunteersthat sit on those committees andthey have alreadyendorsed this slate,”hesaid. “I respect the working people in ourcommunity, and Irespect theleaders of the working peoplein our community.” Puchmayrsaid he was out of the countryfor a couple of weeksearlier this year, and when he returned it “looked like the process wasgoing forward withoutme” so he assumed he wasn’t in the running foraninterview and didn’t follow up “There are many peo pleinorganizedlabour thathavealreadyreached out to me and that will be supporting me,”hesaid.

Puchmayr noted he ran withoutthe labour coun cil’s endorsement in the 2011election. In 2018, Puchmayr was partoftheTeam Cote slate that wonall seven positions on citycoun cil.Two of those candi dates(MayorJonathan Coteand Coun. Mary

Puchmayr said the grouphas donean“excellent job” of regrouping af terthe “fiasco”withthe Together NewWest name. “I’m not going to criticize or question theirprocess,” he said. “They hadtodowhat they feltthey hadtodo.

Andtherefore, this is the directionthatIwill be taking.” Ifelectedmayor, Puchmayr said he will be happytowork with anyonewho is elected to council. “I’vealwaysfound that I’ve beenable to work with people from all differentpolitical stripesand different walks of life, and it’llbenodifferent here,” he said. “I’m notrunning against Community First.I’m running against PatrickJohnstoneand the NewWest Progressives, andthatwillbemyfocus.” Puchmayr isn’t convincedthatCommunity Firstwill be able to sweep councilin2022like Team Cotedid in 2018. “I think we justneedto make surethatwealways have the interestsofthe public at heart, trytokeep thepolitical ‘gotcha’strat egies outofit,”hesaid. “I don’tthink it matters whatpoliticalstripeyou’re on.… It’s what’sbest for thepublic.”

Areported domesticincident in theWest End ended up in amore than two-hour standoff involv ing aheavy ERTpresence in downtown NewWestminster last week. Residentslivingnear Agnesand Fourth streets reported spottinga large number of markedand unmarked police vehiclesinthe area starting at around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 3.

The Record contacted Caveafter an unrelated police incidentnearby— a standoff at an apartment building in the300-block of AgnesStreet (see above)—got some residents wondering whether the heavy policepresencewas, in fact,realor whetherit, too, waspart of the film shoot. —Julie MacLellan

B.C.’s health-care system is eitherfrayedaround the edges, in astate of near-collapse or continuingto provide exemplary care depending on one’s experienceinit. Last week, Ireceived a number of calls from lis tenersonCKNW who ei therexpressed heartfelt thanks for the treatment they had recentlyreceived or relayedsorrowful tales of woeinvolvingthemselves or family members who did notget the treatment they needed. Emergencyrooms continue to shut down on weekends in some small B.C. towns, whilethe sig nificant shortage of family doctorsishaving an in creasingly negativeimpact on people’shealth.Doc torsand nurses are saying they have never seen the system sag so badly Politically,the BC Liberals have seizedonthe mounting pileofproblems and have apparentlymade health-care criticism their No.1 issue, zeroing in on Health Minister Adrian Dix forspecial attention. The Opposition even demandedthatDix be fired. Ican’trecallthe last time the Opposition (be it BC Liberal or NDP) de manded aminister’shead, which is something more reminiscent of the 1980s than recent times Whilethe firing demand mayhavebeen an overreach, the BC Liberals did release a30-dayplan thatcontained some good ideas,althoughimple menting them mayprove to be difficult. Increasing compensation for doctorstocover rising overhead costs,updating the fee-for-service model, reducing redundantpaperwork for physiciansand accelerating accreditation for foreign-trained profes sionals are all proposals that have been pitchedin the past(the government seemstobeworking to implement some of them, al though clearlynot fast enough). The two-member BC Greencaucus, for its part, is on aspeaking tourof B.C. to talk about their proposed health-care fixes. In short, health care has returned as atop-of mind issuefor manyBritish Columbians, rivalling the seemingly unsolvable affordabilityissue as the dominantone. More people are now trying to accessthe healthcare system than at any otherpoint in the pandemic,during which many people simply stopped seeking treatment. And while our system is nowperforming recordhigh numbersofsurgeries, ahuman resources problem appearstobebedeviling the system in ways never seenbefore this year Sincethe startofthis year, thenumber of healthcare professionals who have booked off sick has increased by the thousandscompared to previous times In mid-July,the number of health-care workers who booked sicktime in the previous week approached almost 16,000. That compares with about 11,000 aweek in the three months preceding the pandemicand similar numbers last year.When about 5,000 fewer people are workinginthe system at anygiven time,thatisa recipe for chaos. Indeed, those absences (manylikely linked to cases of COVID-19or burn out-related issues) arebehind the closures of small town ERsand such. Changes are likely com ing to the health-care sys tem(this is anational cri sis),but they aren’t coming fast enough for many. Thousandsget the treatment they require from our health-caresystem ev eryday,but those frayed edges andnear-collapses in some areaswillcontinue forsome time Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter forGlobalBC.

Letters Let us hear each other Editor: Council’s recent decision to phaseout theuse of theterm “Royal City” in the city’s branding andtodevelop anew brand identity has certainly been controversial. But this issue, however we may think about it,invites us to reflectonour sense of community in thiscity,both in thecontent of what we think our city’sbranding should be and how we talk to each other about it.While this motion posed the question of what we should value in our community and our collective sense of identity, abeautiful answer to that question wasgivenearlier on in thatmeeting. In presenting the city’snew Homeless ness Action Strategy, RichardSchabler,a leader with the Community Action Network, describedhow his involvement with the city taught him that New Westminster has “a heart full of grace, many considerations and helpful hands.”Ihave been reflecting on those words, includingasIfollow various discussionsofthe “Royal City”moniker and trytounderstand different perspectives. While Iamultimately supportive of leaving this term behind, Irecognizethat there are certainly acomplexvariety of viewsinthe community about the use of the term “Royal City,” which rangefromseeingthis term as a hurtful relic of our colonial historytoafamiliar moniker tied intoour sense of heritage. In the midst of disagreement,Ithink of the words above, and Ihope that our posturetoward oneanother in these discussions could be one of graceand consideration. Symbols play an important role in our sense of collective identity as acommunity.But that sense of community is not something that we will find in the words without genuine conver sation that tend to makeupcomment threads on social media. That sense of community will also notbefound in stokinganger forthe sake of political expedience. Instead, our sense of community will primarily be found in extending gracetoeach other with open hearts, considering different perspectives with open mindsand seeking to build one another up with helpfulhands. The truth is that Isee this senseofcommunity deeply present in manydifferent ways, and it is what makes me proud to live here. Whether in the city’sformal engagement process or in informal venues, Ihope that theremight be opportunities forcommunity memberstochat face-to-face about this issue respectfully.Ultimately,Ihope that we might be able to genuinely hear one another as we talk about this community that we love and find asymbolin which we canall take collec tive pride.

But where exactlydoes onestartwhensketching a running river? As perWright, it starts with focusing on one moment “Look at amoment and trytokind of figure out thatone spot at thatone timeand use your hands to kind of maybe emulate that senseofmovement. “Maybe, even movingat the same speedasthe river itself you’re trying to be the riverina sense.”

The workshop is not aboutcreating the perfect artpiece,Wright noted. “You’re there to kind of collectinformation; you’re there to come and collect an impression.Soit’s not really about getting aperfectdrawing down It’s about getting maybe acoupleoflinesthatbest express whatyou see in frontofyou.”

In fact, he added, the drawing could be an abstract representation of whatyou feel when you see the river, rather than whatyou see in front of you. Abstractart is encour aged,said the artist, who especially enjoys the abstract works of Joni Mitch ell who doesabstracted images of nature and landscape. ForWright,the best part about holding aworkshop in acasual environment such as the River Market is to be able to “meet folks who maynot have anyexperience drawing at all.”

The first session of the Sketching Series on Aug. 3saw asizablenumber of adults andteenagerslearn howtocapture the beauty of therunningriver with just apencil andaneraser, atWright’s workshop He taught them to use the eraser as adrawing tool (byletting them cover asurface withcharcoal and using eraser to build forms), andworkontheir speed (likedrawing atugboatinunder aminute) and capturing information thataphotograph cannot capture —like“the feel of the wind, or thefeel of thebrightness, or acertain feeling around the moment.”

AllWrighthopestodo at the sketchingsession is to instill an interest in people for drawing. “It’snot something you can teach someone in an afternoon, anymorethan youcould teach someone to playbasketball in an afternoon. “But what’s good with this series is thatyou can give someone atip,ora hint thatmight push them towards their nexttip,their next practice.”

ForFarquhar, there was never anydoubt thathe’d become amagician. He’s the fourthgeneration in his family to do so, following his father,grandfather and great-grandfather “WhenIwas born,the doctor slapped meand Isaid, ‘Pick acard,’” he jokes.“It’smyearliest memories.I always wanted to bea magician.” He started earlyinlife, even scoring aSaturday morning CBC television showasa teenagerinthe 1970s.Inhigh school, his goal wastobuild amagic showand tour across Canada. He wound up going much farther than that. Pre-pandemic,hewas spending about285 days ayear on theroad, performing in 40 countries His biggest shows ever were in China, where he performed for crowds of 30,000inShanghai and 60,000 in Beijing —with thelatter performance broadcast to an audience of 300million. He’s performed for notable figuresfrom Queen Elizabeth II twice —toNelson Mandela to JustinTrudeau. He’shoodwinked Penn & Teller twice on the famed magicians’ Fool Us show and performed withthem in LasVegas.Hespent sevenyears entertain ing audiencesonDisney cruise ships. But eventuallyFarquhar found himself want ing to spend more time at home. One dayhegot off the DisneyWonder and decided he wasstaying ashore for good. In September2019, he set upa venue inVancouv er’sChinatown, whichoperated until thepandemic hit in March 2020

SMALL IN SIZE, LARGE IN IMPACT At theheart of Hidden Wondersisthe small theatre, containedina 13-by13-foot space. Whenthe venue openedatthe height of COVID-19 restrictions, Farquhar could onlyplay to audiencesof12people, seated at tablesspaced two metres apart—avastly smaller audiencethan he’d beenplaying foronthe DisneyWonder “Wecould have adozen people in here.And ev erybody went, ‘Letme get this right, yougo from 1,200 people to 12. How doesthatmakeyou feel?’” Farquhar recalls. “I said, ‘Joyful.’ I’m working for 12 people,and they’re having agrand time. And when theyleave,they’re all going,‘I’m going to tell 12 more friends.’ Iwas sell ingout twoshows anight, fourdaysa week.” As restrictionseased, he wasable to increase his audience to 30, adding tiered, theatre-style seatinginplaceofthe flat floor andtables. Farquhar has also been able to add audience participation back into his shows, which is abig part of what he lovesabout performing.The show is built in “choose your ownadventure” style; audience membersdecide whichtricks Farquhar will performand join himon stagetohelp carrythem out. Farquhar continues using the skill he honedon board the cruise ships findingthe personinthe audiencewho maybereluctant or skeptical, and charming them with his personalchatter andcom pelling tricks untilthey, too,are drawninto the spell of the evening. “I canmake some bodywho doesn’tlook like they’re having agood day—male, female,older, younger, angry —Ican turntheir day around into somethingpalatable with alittle bitofmagic.What’s not to love aboutthat power?” he says.“My su perpower is making people alittle bithappier or at least creatingasense of wonder.” Because the venue is so intimate, Farquhar can get to knowhis audience membersona morepersonallevel thanhecould at abig show. The magicianstays aftershows to mingle with attendees, pose for pho tosand parry questions abouthow exactlyhe didthattrick where he solved aRubik’s cube behindsomeone else’sback or howhecorrectly“predicted” theoutcome of the show before it started He lovesthosemoments after aperformance where audience memberslinger outside, reluctant to depart. “The greatest compli mentisthem standing up front because they don’t want to leave,”hesays. “They justkindofwantto figure out thefeeling. And theyhangaround and they kindofbuzz in lit tle groups and talk, and I feel like they’re more connected as acommunity. “I think I’mdoingthat. That’smaybe arrogant to say, butI think I’m communicating in away thatI can connect community.”

Just standing out front looking through the windows wasenough to convince Farquhar that his wife wasright. Eighteen days after they signed thelease, Hidden Wonderswas up and running. “This wasmyshining beacon, opening this up,” he says. The storefront is furnished largely with items repurposed fromFarqu har’s familyhome,including trunks fullofhis childhood toys,games and collectibles.Farquhar’s ingenuityand creativity abounds throughout the space, with touches thatmakethe most of the building’s heritagefea tures. The speakeasy theme wasanatural choice, he says,given thatNewWestminster’sown history is full of bootleggersand rumrunnersusing the Fraser River as arouteto and from theStatesdur ingProhibition.

Transforming pieces of trash into beautiful oilpaintingsis onlypartofthe process; what Ahn wantsistoprovoke aconversation around consumerism andits consequences According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP),about 11.2 billion tonnes of solid waste arecol lectedworldwide,contributing to fiveper cent of greenhouse gas emissions.Ifnot disposedof well, thewastecan contaminate air, water andsoil Atop solution is to minimize consumption, perUNEP, and Ahn’sart is alaunchpad to havingthis conversation. Whatpushed him intothinking about consumerism and ecosystems are his yearsinBan gladesh. Born in Korea,Ahn movedtoBangladeshatthe age of 12 and did hismiddle school and high schoolthere. “In Asia, in general, we do not recycle properly.Soyou’ll see plastic bags andgarbage thrownaround on thestreets, in abunch of countries.” He recalled,“Nobodygavea second thought about it [garbage]; we just tossed it out. And it wasnot aproblem.” It bothers him that no one seems to care wherethe garbage even goes.“We just know that it goes to alandfill, butthat’s about it.” He hopestochange thatwith hisart;hehopes to havepeo plethink: doesthatcomb of bananasreallyneeda plastic wrap? Ahn’sartworksare on display till Aug.28atThe Galleryat Queen’sPark, between 10 a.m. and 2p.m.Wednesdaythrough Sunday. He is represented by Vancouver-based Ukama Gal lery.
