Swastika graffiti painted on home

A NewWestminster home flying a Ukrainian flag has been targeted with hateful graffiti

A neighbour knocked on Steve Makuch and Julie MacLellan’s door on Monday morning to inform them that their Sapperton home had been vandalized.

“Our neighbour from across the street says, ‘Hey, you may want to look at your house; it looks like you’ve been graffitied,’” Makuck said “So Julie looked outside and found a swastika, about a two-by-two-foot swastika in black spray paint, on the stucco wall of our house.”

UpFront Anvil Battery salute returns for Victoria Day

TheresaMcManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord ca

The Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery’s streak remains intact. Jerry Dobrovolny, captain of the Hyack Anvil Battery, said the group has been committed to keeping its 150-plus-year streak going by doing the anvil salute onVictoria Day. The annual salute has continued, but it hasn’t been open to the public since 2019

“When COVID hit, we just wanted to make sure we kept the streak going, so we pulled back to ensure we didn’t have to cancel a year,” he said. “The only year the battery was silent was in 1901 when

QueenVictoria died.The battery just stood at attention that year but didn’t fire ”

Dobrovolny said the group hopes to welcome the public back to the event in Queen’s Park Stadium next year.

On Monday, a small gathering of family members, plus a few folks with accessibility issues, were inside the stadium, while others watched through the chain-link fence

This quirky NewWest tradition occurs when gunpower is placed on a playing card that’s positioned on the top of an anvil Once a second anvil in placed on top, the battery ignites the explosion with a long, heated iron

Folks watching this year’s “21-gun salute” may have noticed a small delay for the final two shots

“The coal furnace went out,” Dobrovolny said “Not sure if was the coal, but, yes, it was the first time in anyone’s memory that we missed the one-minute timing intervals ”

Another first was commemorated at this year’s anvil salute, which followed the May 6 coronation of King Charles III.

“The salute is for Queen Victoria, but then we have three cheers for the reigning monarch and sang God Save the King, ” Dobrovolny said “Still feels a little odd after signing God Save the Queen for my whole life.”

May Day is back in Queen’s Park

NewWestminster’s 152nd May Queen will be crowned at the city’s 153rd May Day festivities

The NewWestminster May Day Community Association selected the positions in this year’s Royal Suite during a recent draw in the rose garden in Queen’s Park Alessia Preovolos will serve as the city’s 152nd May Queen and Aiden Kim is the Royal Knight Consort.

“This year’s May Day marks the 153rd year of continuous festivities in NewWestminster,” said a notice from the associa-

tion “The suite is identified, however, as the152nd to acknowledge the fact that during the pandemic the 150th May Queen, SiennaVahra and her suite and Royal Knights served for two years instead of one ”

Joining Alessia and Aiden in this year’s Royal Suite are: Lilith Miller

– First Maid of Honour; JiminYun – Second Maid of Honour; Ellie Kang –Register Bearer; Raylynn Morris – Medal Bearer; Elena Akfali – First Flower Girl; Alexa Ramos –Second Flower Girl; Daisy Loi –Third Flower Girl; and Sasha Donschenko –Fourth Flower Girl.

This year’s May Day will take place on Saturday, May 27 at 3:30 p m in Queen’s Park Stadium

Last year’s event, the first held in Queen’s Park Stadium since the beginning of the pandemic, included the crowning of the May Queen, speeches by kids in the Royal Suite and local dignitaries, maypole and folk dances performed by local children, entertainment from a variety of dance groups and a land acknowledgment

While pandemic gathering restrictions prevented the association from hosting a major event in 2020 and 2021, it kept the May Day tradition alive through

It’s Hyack weekend!

the crowning of the May Queen at a small ceremony in the Queen’s Park rose garden in 2020 and by participating in events such as the Hyack Festival Association’s drive-thru parade in 2021

When the NewWestminster school district stopped overseeing May Day in 2020, the association took over the role of organizing and hosting.

The random draw for all positions in the May Queen Suite was open to all NewWest children in grades 5 and 6, with applications through the New Westminster May Day Community Association’s website.

Hyack is back. The Hyack International Parade and the Hyack Festival in Tipperary Park are back on Saturday, May 27.

For more than 50 years, the Hyack Festival Association has been producting the event annually at the end of May.

Once again, the parade begins at Sixth Street and Eighth Avenue at 11 a.m., making its way down Sixth Street to Queens Avenue, where it turns to head for Queens Park It will include more than 100 entries, including out-of-town floats from the Okanagan and Washington State.

The parade “after party,” the Hyack Festival in the Park, takes place in Tipperary Park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with food trucks, vendors, live entertainment and a kids’ zone with inflatable carnival games, face painting, crafts and wooden boat building

Province may revisit drug policy, premier hints

Less than four months after B.C. was given the ability to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of illegal drugs, there are signs that changes are coming

After weeks of being slammed by the Opposition during daily question period over the lack of so-called “guardrails” to go with decriminalization, the BC NDP government appeared to have wilted somewhat by the end of the legislative session

While still defending the move to decriminalization as a worthy endeavour, Premier David Eby himself offered a reminder that decriminalization is a pilot project and opened the door for revisiting the entire issue if things don’t work out as planned

More specifically, he agreed that municipalities that are concerned that decriminal-

ization has led to a spike in the use of illegal drugs in public parks and schoolyards need to have those concerns listened to.

“Nobody wants this activity affecting our kids, and we will do something,” he told the legislature on the last day of the session

What, exactly, or even when that “something” will happen is not entirely clear If legislation is needed to address the problem of illegal drugs, then it will take a while, since the house doesn’t sit again until the fall

People using illegal drugs in parks and playgrounds (in some cases leaving behind their drug paraphernalia) is one of those unintended consequences that those “guardrails” were supposed to keep at bay

As the Opposition BC United party (formerly known as the BC Liberal Party)

pushes away from supporting decriminalization (as it currently stands) and the NDP acknowledges some changes may be required, it is worth noting the latest update on deaths from the opioid crisis

The data from the coroner’s service was another bleak reminder that solving the crisis if it indeed can be “solved” will likely not result from a single change in policy

During the month of April, 206 British Columbians died from an overdose of illicit drugs (up 17 per cent from the previous April and up four per cent from March)

Illicit fentanyl was present in eight out of 10 deaths so the other pillar of drug policy, the availability of a safe supply of opioids and stimulants for drug users, is not a factor in the deaths, according to chief coroner Lisa

B C ’s decriminalization “pilot” is set to last three years to allow enough time to gather evidence and data to see what’s working and what’s not Barring any change to that timeline, it will still be in place when the next provincial election is held in 2024

There is a good chance that drug decriminalization could be a key separation point between the BC NDP and BC United election platforms Both parties have been advocating for tougher positions when it comes to law and order and public safety issues We shall see whether the decriminalization pilot project can navigate its way through these increasingly storm-tossed political seas

NewWest’s newest school can’t handle the heat

editor: I am writing about the issue of inadequate measures available to help with the heat in our local elementary school

My oldest daughter attends Skwo:wech

Elementary in Grade 1 Last week she missed an entire week of school because of the hot weather. We send our kids with water bottles filled with ice and lather on sunscreen, pack hats and dress them in minimal or breathable clothing, but it’s not enough.

My daughter was sent to the office last Monday because she felt dizzy. When I picked her up after school she ran to me begging to have a freezie (thank you, PAC); her very large adult water bottle was almost empty, and she was covered in sweat Her class spends the last part of school outside trying to stay in the shade (which is hard where their pickup area is) They do this because it’s too hot in the class.

The next day, before school, she comes up to me covered in a heat rash and itchy I highly

believe this has a lot to do with being stuck in the hot classroom with no escape due to poor design of being a glass building and no AC or alternative relief

Having the kids outside all day is also not a great idea as an alternative, since by recess all that sunscreen we lather onto our kids has no effect anymore, and I don’t expect the teachers to reapply to every kid in the class multiple times a day.

Last Monday was not the first day of this heat, and it’s just going to get worse.

As parents, we received an email from the school board with their plan of action, but this should not be what needs to be done. Both NWSS and Skwo:wech are new and almost completely glass buildings Why weren’t they fit with better systems? Qayqayt has also been talked about being incredibly warm

I grew up here and attended Spencer. I remember the portables being very warm in June but the school itself wasn’t as bad because it was a brick building still warm, but we could get away by covering the windows and having fans

Thanks to these two kind NewWest police officers

editor: A big thank you and shout-out to the New Westminster Police Department

On Sixth Avenue, on Thursday, May 10, at approximately 4 p.m., I literally chased down two police officers driving down my street

My elderly father had slid off his walker in his garage and had been on the cement for an hour I was not able to lift him by myself, and my usual support system was not available. Being that I am a nurse, I had assessed my father and felt that a 911 call at that time was not warranted.

Without hesitation, these two very kind police officers turned their car around and followed me back to the home of my father They had him back up on his feet within minutes I cannot say enough about how compassionate, kind and empathetic these two officers were with both my father and myself

Unfortunately, in the moment, I did not get their names Thank you so much; this daughter is forever grateful for their assistance.

PUBLIC WORKS WEEK MAY 21-27

Public Works Week raises awareness about the value and necessities of public works and the importance it plays on the quality of our daily life Whether it’s having clean drinking water, a flushing toilet, lights, or garbage pick-up, our often unrecognized public works crews operate 24/7 to ensure residents are being provided with essential services. This year ’ s theme is “Connecting the World Through Public Works,” which highlights the way public works professionals connect us physically through infrastructure and inspirationally through service to their communities; whether that’s as first responders or daily workers carrying out their duties with pride Public works connectors help keep communities strong by providing an infrastructure of services in transportation, water, wastewater and stormwater treatment, solid waste, public buildings and spaces, parks and grounds, emergency management and first response, and right-of-way management So, this week we acknowledge and thank all the public works employees at the City of New Westminster for the hard work they do to make our community a great place to live and work Learn more at npww.apwa.net

Reconsider housing plan

editor: Thanks to the City of New Westminster for encouraging the development of 30 units of supportive housing proposed by the Purpose Society.

But shame on the project for perpetuating the same old model of shared bathrooms It has been proven over and over that this model does not work Was it decided that shared bathrooms would save money? Because it won’t save on conflict and frustration for the residents Please reconsider this proposal and provide everyone with the privacy and sense of dignity they deserve with access to their own toilet and sink at least

Regarding Purpose Society, I understand that there are issues with their downtown location Littering and inappropriate behaviour head the list. I hope that these issues can be resolved before the society is granted development approval of the proposed new project on Sixth Street in uptown New West

City‘Residents of New Westminster will not be intimidated’

Continued from page 1

Seeing a symbol often associated with Nazis painted on the front of his home left Makuch both shocked and angry

“We’ve been here for almost two decades, without any incident, anything like this,” he said “So that I can only deduce that it was spurred on by me flying the Ukrainian flag ” Makuch said he’s been flying the Ukrainian flag on his house for nearly a year, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine His grandparents came to Canada from Ukraine in the late 1920s or early 1930s

“I can’t say I’m fluent in the language, but I’ve grown up in that sort of

ethnic culture,” he said “I identify ethnically as Ukrainian, so I have a feeling towards my ethnic heritage and historical homeland. And so that’s why I fly my flag.”

The couple called the NewWestminster Police Department’s non-emergency line, and soon after, police were at their door. MacLellan, the assistant editor of the Record and Burnaby NOW newspapers, and Makuch, who works in IT, told police they knew of no reason they would be targeted.

MacLellan acknowledged her job gives her a measure of community profile but said she doubts the graffiti had anything to do with her work.

“Yes, I’m a reporter, but I’m not writing the kind of stories that would usually generate that kind of attention,” said MacLellan, who covers primarily education and arts for the Record

Both MacLellan and Makuch believe the high-visibility location of their home simply made them an easy target

“We are on a busy street, and there are lots of people who walk by there,” Makuch said. “So we think it was a convenient crime of opportunity.”

NewWestminster police are investigating the vandalism, which occurred between the evening of Sunday, May 21, and the morning of Monday, May 22. Police have canvassed

Join a

Climate Action Dialogue

the area for CCTV footage “During investigations such as this one, it is not uncommon for front-line patrol officers to notify our partners at the Provincial Hate Crime Unit,” said NWPD spokesperson Sgt

Andrew Leaver “This is a cowardly act, and the residents of NewWestminster will not be intimidated ”

After police left his home, Makuch got to work trying to remove the graffiti no easy feat on stucco

“I tried doing some cleanup It’s reduced it a little, but it’s still plainly obvious,” he said “We’ve hung up a Canadian flag in front of it ”

For now, the spraypainted symbol will remain hidden by the Canadian flag And the Ukrainian flag continues to fly in front of the family’s home

“Over the past couple mornings, I’ve gone out to just check to make sure that someone didn’t tear down our Canadian flag that’s covering it, or they didn’t touch the Ukrainian flag,” he said “The only reason I’m thinking that we got a swastika was because I was flying the Ukrainian flag ”

Local governments have taken action on climate for many years, but we need to do more. The Climate Action Dialogues offer a bold conversation on the urgency and economic case for climate action in this region. With expert panelists and an engaged audience, these dialogues will provide stimulating perspectives on climate action and the economic imperative to build for a net zero future.

Royal overpass replaced as Pattullo work continues

TheresaMcManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord ca

One part of the Pattullo Bridge replacement project was completed a little faster than expected, while another project is taking a little longer than projected

On Sunday,TransLink announced that the northbound lane on the Pattullo Bridge had reopened because work on the Royal Avenue overpass replacement project had been finished early. Royal Avenue remained closed between McBride Boulevard and the Royal Avenue onramp, to allow completion of work on the new overpass.

The overpass replace-

ment had originally been scheduled to take place from April 28 until May 1 but was postponed because of a hydraulic fluid leak with the “self-propelling modular transporter” being used to move the old and new 600-tonne overpasses.

The weekend’s work saw the old overpass replaced with a new structure that includes sidewalks on both sides and meets today’s seismic and construction standards.

Meanwhile, traffic pattern changes on Columbia Street which are making way for underground utility work will remain in place a bit longer than expected.

The work will now continue until early June

This work requires the eastbound closure of Columbia Street (heading from downtown toward Sapperton) between McBride Boulevard and Elliot Street This closure is in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with traffic being detoured to Royal Avenue (via Sixth Street) and Front Street

One westbound lane is open on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m., including access to the Pattullo Bridge.The on-ramp will continue to be closed from 3 to 6 p.m.

Emergency vehicle access is maintained at all times.

City New Westminster man charged after taxi carjacking

JulieMacLellan andAbhinayaNatesh

jmaclellan@newwestrecord ca

A NewWestminster man has been charged in connection with a carjacking that ended with minor injuries on a busy uptown street last week

Kaeden Hnatiw, 27, has been charged with one count of robbery and one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle following an incident on Wednesday, May 17

The arrest came after multiple witnesses reported to 911 that a taxi was being driven erratically uptown Police received re-

ports of the taxi striking vehicles on the street and pedestrians having to jump out of the way, NWPD spokesperson Sgt. Andrew Leaver told the Record.

The taxi was brought to a halt after being boxed in by police cars at the intersection of Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue.

Leaver pointed out the episode took place in uptown NewWestminster in the middle of the day, with many people on the street

“Ultimately, the goal was to stop the vehicle,” he said, noting the No 1 goal for police on scene was to stop the taxi “This had the potential to be ex-

tremely dangerous, so the priority was to protect the people in the area.”

Leaver said police learned the taxi had been stolen; the suspect in that theft was the person driving the taxi.

The actual taxi driver sustained “minor injuries” during the robbery, police said. Leaver could not provide details as to what had happened during the theft of the taxi, noting the incident was still under inves-

tigation.

“This individual was safely taken into custody thanks to the excellent work of our front-line officers, and we are thankful nobody was seriously injured,” Leaver said.

Salmonbellies launch their Mann Cup quest tonight

TheresaMcManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The NewWestminster Senior A Salmonbellies are kicking off their 2023 season this week with one goal in mind: winning the Mann Cup

The drive for 25 beginsThursday, May 25 at 7 p m at Queen’s Park Arena, when the Salmonbellies take on the NanaimoTimbermen.

The ultimate goal is to hoist the Mann Cup in Queen’s Park Arena in September.

“It’s genuinely a magnet for our players, and I think there’s a concerted effort to try and make sure that we put a product out that gets us that 25th Mann Cup,” said Paul Horn, president of the NewWestminster Senior A Salmonbellies “It’s our 135th year We are going to go for it ”

Each year, the Mann Cup is awarded to Canada’s senior men’s box lacrosse champion, which is determined after the Western Lacrosse Association and the Major Se-

ries Lacrosse championship teams compete in an east versus west series.The Mann Cup championship rotates between the east and the west each year with the 2023 Mann Cup being hosted by the WLA-winning team.

Ray Porcellato, general manager, said there’s been “a collective commitment by a bunch of world-class lacrosse players” to suit up for the Bellies this season and help the team win its 25th Mann Cup

“The team is fantastic,” he said “To me, with giv-

ing proper respect all the Bellies’ teams in the past, this is arguably one of the best teams ever assembled …The long and short of it is that all 18 starters are NLL stars.”

The offense includes several players who have racked up points in the 2023 National Lacrosse League season, including: captain Mitch Jones;Will Malcom; and Keegan Bal. Other forwards include Kevin Crowley; Haiden Dickson; Ryan Martel; Jordan McBride; Jason Jones; and rookie Noah Armitage

The defence incudes Brett Mydske; Drew Belgrave; Brandon Goodwin; Justin Salt; Patrick Shoemay; andTravis Corn-

wall. Other defenders include: Colton Clark; Anthony Courcelle; Ilia Gajic; Quinn MacKay; Jordan Gilles; and Jimmy McBride.

Anthony Malcom is playing transition and Tyrell Hamer-Jackson is on face-offs. Cam MacLeod and NeilTyacke have signed on as the team’s goaltenders.

Mydske believes Porcellato has done a good job of assembling the skilled and role players needed to win a championship.

“Growing up in New West, going to all the senior games, you always dreamed of winning a Mann Cup,” he said. “Having it in the west this year and having a chance

to be able to win it on your home floor would truly be something. If we could do that, it would be one of the best things I have ever done.”

Born and raised in New West, Mydske “it means a lot” to suit up for the Salmonbellies. He was a callup player on the 2009 team that “lost that heartbreaker in Game 7” and he’s itching to win his first Mann Cup.

“I have lost three of them.They’re hard to come by,” he said. “So hopefully this year is the year.”

home whose first owner is referenced in aWikipedia entry, a charming cottage awarded the Heritage Shield in 2011 for its exterior restoration work, two orphaned cottages rescued and relocated to a new

home safe from demolition under the watchful eyes of the Davidson House (218 Queens Ave.) and an amazing uptown transformation of a 1902 home,” states a news release about this year’s event. “There’s

also a beautifully renovated Queens Avenue house designed by G.W. Grant, a Hamilton Street favourite extensively restored and repaired, and an updated iconic St. Patrick house.”

Catherine Hutson, a director with Heritage NewWest, said the group started the year uncertain if it would be hosting a tour in 2023.

Stay safe in the summer heat: Health tips for seniors

We’ve made it through the first heat wave of the summer, but it likely won’t be the last or the worst.

Fraser Health has published information about summer heat safety for seniors and people with medical conditions. Here are some highlights:

How can extreme heat affect my health?

It can cause heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion/heat stroke, worsen existing health conditions or even cause death.

Who is more likely to have problems?

Those who are most at

risk during extreme heat are:

w older adults;

w people without air conditioning;

w people who don’t leave their home often;

w people with chronic health conditions such as kidney, heart or lung disease.

Does my medication make a difference?

Some medicines can interfere with your body’s natural ability to get rid of heat, increasing the chances for overheating and dehydration.These include:

w ACE inhibitors

w anticholinergics for

COPD, urinary incontinence or overactive bladder;

w beta blockers;

w calcium channel blockers;

w diuretics;

w vasoconstrictors;

w medicines for mental health such as antidepressants, anxiolytics, antipsychotics and more

Staying safe: Before heat comes

w Make a plan for checking in with family or friends each day during times of extreme heat.

w Consider getting heat-reducing window coverings or awnings; if possible, install air conditioning or a heat pump.

Staying safe: During extreme heat

wTune in to local weather forecasts and alerts;

w Check with your city for cooling centre locations;

w Keep your home cool, between 22 and 26 C;

w Keep windows and curtains or blinds closed;

w Place a fan in front of an open window when it is cooler outside than inside to pull cool air in;

w Drink more water, even

when you don’t feel thirsty leave a glass by the sink as a reminder;

wTake lukewarm baths to cool down; even footbaths can help

When is it too hot?

If your home reaches a temperature of 31 C or higher indoors, this is dangerous Find somewhere cooler: a friend’s home

(where there is air conditioning or a basement), a shaded park, a pool, a cooling centre in the community

“Our search for homes began a little later than usual, but once we started we were pleasantly surprised by the positive response,” she said in an email to the Record “What was going to be a smaller, boutique tour has become a 12-venue event ”

The NewWestminster Heritage Preservation Society, which is transitioning to become Heritage New West, organizes the popular tour.

With homes large and small participating in this year’s event, organizers are confident the group’s 41st tour will have something for everyone.This year’s

A Queen’s Park home that was part of a heritage revitalization agreement is also featured on the tour.The owner of the 1910 Herbert Davidson home on Queens Avenue

was able to relocate two other homes to the Manitoba Street-facing part of his property: the 1909 John and Eleanor Sandick House (previously located at 217 St. Patrick St.) and the 1911 John and Ruth Herbert House (previously located inVancouver).
