New West trees assessed for pipeline impact Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Environmental Partners is trying to assess how many trees near the Brunette River could be at risk if a pipeline plows through the area. The existing pipeline isn’t located near the river, but the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion route runs along the Brunette River, near Hume Park and the Brunette River Conservation Area. In an effort to estimate how many trees may be impacted by a new pipeline, volunteers recent-

ly counted and measured trees in the area. “The river relies on trees to filter rain, prevent soil erosion, cool the waters, improve air quality and reduce noise pollution from the nearby roads, including the Number 1 highway,” said a press release from New Westminster Environmental Partners. “In this age of global warming, trees veritably contribute to heat reduction. An oil or gas pipeline has never coursed the shores of the Brunette River.The existing pipeline lies at least two kilometres away from the proposed pipeline

route.We wonder why people continue to believe that the proposed pipeline is twinned.” According to New Westminster Environmental Partners, early evaluations by citizen stewards estimate at least 1,800 trees will be removed in a one-kilometre stretch of Burnaby alone. Vic Leach, the group’s Brunette River projects coordinator, said volunteers measured trees that were at least 3.5 inches in diameter. “We are seeking info as to how long it takes a tree to grow to full height,” he said. “It varies depend-

ing upon species of tree, although it is likely to be between 70 and 150 years, while humans can expect to reach full height by the time they are between 15 and 20 years.” Volunteers at the tree count included NWEP members, New Westminster-Burnaby NDP MP Peter Julian and local Green party candidate Suzanne de Montigny. “We didn’t get as much done as we wanted done. It’s hilly. It was the first time for us to go through this,” Leach said. “There was one tree that was huge – it was 56 inches in diameter.”

Because of challenges associated with counting all of the trees and accessing the hilly terrain, the group wants to see if there’s a way to do a tree count based on photographs. “I don’t think a lot of people in the Lower Mainland even know where the Brunette River is, and the value to the ecosystem,” Leach said. “That’s why we want to show how many trees and what the effect is going to be. It affects the wildlife, the pollution going into the river.” Continued on page 3

Liberal candidate hit twice by vandals Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The local Liberal candidate’s campaign office has been vandalized twice within one week. Will Davis, the Liberal candidate in NewWestminster-Burnaby, recently opened his campaign office at 648 Sixth St. in Uptown NewWest. He arrived at the office on Sept. 13 to find it had been vandalized for the second time in a week. “It is disappointing,” he told the Record. “If the intention of this is to deter me or our team, they are sadly mistaken.This is only going to make us have more resolve and get out there and work even harder.” In the first incident, which occurred sometime between the evening of Thursday, Sept. 5 and the morning of Friday, Sept. 6, someone glued the lock on the door closed. A locksmith was needed to replace the lock, which was vandalized on the morning of the office’s open house. A week later, Davis arrived at the office to find that someone had written “Elect a new PM” on the window in white paint.That occurred sometime between 9 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12 and 8 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 13. “This vandalism was politically charged,” he said. Davis said the lock incident was meant to “kneecap us and slow us down” as his team couldn’t get into the office until it was fixed. “It’s a crying shame in an open democracy that you need to have cameras, that you need to have these kinds

Events set to hear from candidates Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

While the federal leaders crisscross the country to drum up support for their parties for the Oct. 21 federal election, local voters will get a chance to hear from local candidates at several events in the coming weeks. Although no candidates had been officially confirmed as candidates in New Westminster-Burnaby with Elections Canada as of the Record’s deadline, at least six people have indicated they’ll be vying

to become the riding’s next member of Parliament:Will Davis – Liberal; Suzanne de Montigny – Green; Hansen Ginn – People’s Party; Peter Julian – NDP (incumbent); Neeraj Murarka – Libertarian; and Megan Veck – Conservative. Voters will get their first chance to hear from the candidates next week, when the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce is holding an all-candidates’ debate. It’s on Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Justice Institute, 715 McBride Blvd.

On Oct. 8, the Burnaby Board of Trade is holding a meet and greet for candidates in Burnaby’s three ridings, including New Westminster-Burnaby. It’s on Tuesday, Oct. 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Firefighters Banquet Hall, 6515 Bonsor Ave. In an effort to spotlight environmental issues, New Westminster Environmental Partners,Tenth to the Fraser and Babies for Climate Action are hosting a climate change debate. It’s on Wednesday, Oct 2 at 7 p.m. in Massey Theatre’s Plaskett

Gallery, 735 Eighth Ave. The Massey Heights Residents’ Association is planning an all-candidates’ meeting Oct. 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mount Zion Lutheran Church, 930 Cumberland St.The first hour is a chance for folks to talk to the candidates, followed by a roundtable discussion.

are going to add some patrols.They had some advice to us around placement of cameras and such,” Davis said. Neighbours are also on the lookout for suspicious

activity, he added. “In the 338 races across the country, as far as I know this is the unique situation for NewWest-Burnaby,” Davis said.

Group wants clarity on how many trees could be lost Continued from page 1 In July, members of New Westminster Environmental Partners and the Wilderness Committee took local politicians on a tour along the Brunette River to show them the area that could be impacted by the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.The Brunette is home to the Nooksack dace, a small freshwater fish that’s deemed to be endangered. Given the potential impact on the river and the wildlife in the area, includ-

ing birds, fish and animals, the volunteers want to be able to provide information that can be factored into plans for pipeline construction. “Nobody has really given us an indication of how many trees are coming out, and what is the age of those trees, and what would be the replacement cost of those trees,” Leach said. “It’s only to give us some idea – rather than them saying, ‘There’s a bunch of trees in there.’”

Dinner is Now on the Menu of this Popular New Westminster Restaurant Renow wned for its all-day amaazingly tasty p pannekoek waffles,, one of New Westminster’s most popular breakfast and lunch eateries is now open for dinner. Angelina’s Dutch Corner – which relocated earlier this summer to its spectacular riverfront location in River Market at Westminster Quay – is now serving up a West coast inspired menu, starting with Happy Hour food and drink specials from 3 to 5 p.m., followed by dinner service until 11 p.m. With the move into its larger, casually sophisticated home, its owner Eric Missouri felt it was the right moment to offer its loyal clientele, as well as visitors to the Market, an opportunity to enjoy the restaurant’s upscale waterfront location at night. For more than 17 years, Angelina’s has attracted swarms of devotees for its Western European breakfast and lunch offerings made in-house from scratch. Missouri says customers can expect that same level of commitment in Angelina’s new dinner menu – one he believes is sure to impress even the most discerning palate.

“We want to provide great food at reasonable prices in a fabulous location right on the riverfront,” adds Missouri. Serving West Coast fare with an emphasis on locally and regionally sourced ingredients that highlight the bounty of British Columbia in an approachable way, executive chef Mario Fernandez says: “Nearly 90 per cent of the ingredients we use are sourced within a 100 kilometres radius, so it’s the best and freshest we can buy.” Formerly the executive chef at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, Fernandez brings to the table a wealth of experience and is excited to showcase the new carte du jour. “My philosophy is: keep it simple, keep it fresh, keep it approachable,” says the seasoned chef. “We have created a menu that has something for everyone, including vegetarian options like the crispy tofu bowl. We will change up the menu seasonally so we can make sure to offer dishes using the freshest, most local ingredients we can find.” Other standouts on the newly minted menu include the clam chowder with wild salmon, a foraged mushroom steak, as well as the Malay red curry and prawns.

Pair any of the entrees with its selection of cocktails, beers or wines. The thoughtfully curated wine list showcases some of B.C.’s VQA wines from the Okanagan, as well as a good selection of Old and New world wines from across the globe. “We are still working on our wine list and we will add new ones along the way … the wines we chose pair well with our cuisine,” explains Missouri, adding this Friday and Saturday, Sept. 20th and 21st, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. there will be live jazz. Renowned in the Royal City for an atmosphere like no other, superb customer service and amazing food, the multiple award-winning Angelina’s Dutch Corner officially opens for dinner on Monday, September 23rd from 3 to 11 p.m. To celebrate the Grand Opening, from September 23rd to the 30th, Angelina’s offers dinner with two entrees and two drinks for a $10 discount.

City POLICING

New West case sees ‘roadside’ ruling overturned

Stories by Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

The “roadside” driving prohibition – a tool for police to handle cases of impaired driving without going to court – doesn’t literally have to be served at the side of the road. A ruling from B.C.’s top court said a New Westminster police officer was within his rights to serve a 24-hour

roadside driving prohibition from the New West Police Department office.The B.C. Appeal Court’s ruling overturns a decision from the B.C. Supreme Court that held the roadside prohibition can only be served at the roadside. On July 12, 2017, NWPD officers responded to a rear-ender, and the driver in the rear car was believed to be impaired. Af-

ter the driver, Patrick Evans, told police he was a heroin user and had paraphernalia in his pocket, police told Evans to go to the police station for a drug influence test. After the test, Evans was served a 24-hour roadside driving prohibition. The law says an officer may serve the prohibition “at any time or place on a highway or industrial road.” Lawyer Kyla Lee success-

fully challenged Evans’ prohibition in a judicial review by the B.C. Supreme Court, with that court ruling in April 2018 that the wording of the law barred police from serving the prohibition anywhere but the roadside. Lee said she was disappointed to see the original ruling overturned in the Sept. 11 appeals court ruling, penned by Justice Elizabeth Bennett.

“I would have liked to not see the judgment overturned, but I can also see the logic behind the court of appeal’s reasoning,” Lee said. The appeal court found that allowing police to serve the notice of the prohibition from the police station allows officers’ Motor Vehicle Act and Criminal Code duties “to dovetail, and avoids absurd consequences.”

Where Lee said she sees a silver lining is Bennett’s finding that a notice of prohibition can be served from the police station “as long as there is a sufficiently strong connection to impaired driving on a highway or industrial road.” That language in the ruling can prevent extending too much power to police in cases of impaired driving, Lee said.

Police creating safe space program for those facing anti-LGBTQ+ crime The New Westminster Police Department is looking to create its own safe spaces program for LGBTQ+ people facing violence, bullying or harassment, following a model similar to a program in Vancouver. The safe space program would provide public spaces – businesses, organizations, city buildings, school district properties and other similar spaces – for anyone from the LGBTQ+ community facing violence to

take shelter. Each location would be marked with a sticker, to be designed by the NWPD, on or near the entrance, and those facing violence could stay safe at that location while staff called police and take shelter until police arrived. The program is still in its formative stages, said crime prevention co-ordinator Wendy Bowyer at a recent police board meeting. The concept was first devised by the Seattle Police

Department and has since been imported north of the border, with the Vancouver Police Department implementing a similar program in that city. The NWPD has been working in the background, so far, to build up to a point where the department feels comfortable implementing such a program.That includes sensitivity training from Const. Dale Quiring of the VPD, who leads the program in Vancouver. “So things like proper use

of pronouns and really getting us to think about maybe our policies – are our policies inclusive? Does our dress and deportment policy include somebody that … is transgender?” Bowyer said. “Some of these things are still in progress, but we’re definitely on the right path.” Bowyer added the department is working on getting trans-inclusive signage on its washrooms. Moving forward, the department will be looking to

gain support in the community, including through social media and by approaching businesses to canvass for potential safe spaces. Those businesses that are interested would then submit their information online to the NWPD, sign forms saying they agree to to instruct employees to assist victims or witnesses to antiLGBTQ+ crimes, undergo staff training for the safe spaces and then receive the decal to advertise the organization as a safe space.

Bowyer said she’s been in the community to explain the program to individuals and businesses already and has had a positive response so far. “I did have a couple of big corporations, such as Telus, sign up right on the spot for all of their locations,” she said. “A very overwhelming response, which was super great.” Bowyer said no date has yet been determined to roll the program out in full.

Lower Mainland drivers getting hosed at the pump

The recent report from the B.C. Utilities Commission about pain at the gas pump appears to confirm what Lower Mainland drivers have known all along: they are getting hosed. The report found gas prices in Greater Vancouver idling at 13-cents-a-litre more than could be expected under a normally competitive market.That difference – estimated to cost us about $490 million annually – “cannot be explained by economic theory or justified by known factors in the

market,” according to the report. “We know, and one of the reasons for calling for this inquiry was that too often people feel that they’ve been ripped off when they fill up at the gas station,” said Bruce Ralston, the minister of Jobs,Trade and Technology, following the release of the BCUC’s final report. “And they’re right. (This) report from the utilities commission shows that there’s significant evidence that support people’s view that price gouging exists in

the market.” The high gas prices aren’t caused by taxes (already taken into account in the BCUC number crunching) or pipeline capacity. Rather, they appear to have everything to do with the fact that the market is tightly controlled by a handful of companies.While the report states there is no evidence of “collusion,” it also suggests prices might be “tacitly choreographed” – the difference between those likely being lost on people unhappily surprised when

prices all jump 10 cents a litre. “Prices move up and down in a manner that gives the appearance of a functioning competitive market, but it is also possible this pricing behaviour is tacitly choreographed such that there are numerous price changes throughout the day,” read the report. So why are prices higher in Metro Vancouver than they are in many other places? Essentially, because they can be.

It’s hard to see what’s happening at the pump as the result of a truly free market. That being the case, one option for the government is to intervene with regulation. Price caps and requirements for greater transparency are possibilities – measures that are already in place in other parts of both Canada and the U.S. Why should the province motor along and get blamed for that 13-cent price gouge, when it appears to benefit no one but the bottom line

of big oil companies? The public and industry have been given time to respond to the report. In the meantime, we suggest people find a way to deal with high gas prices in a way that’s different than shaking their fists. Get out of your vehicles. Ride a bike.Take transit.We have a pretty good transit system here and the more you use it, the better it is for the environment. And even if gas prices drop, we encourage you to still get on transit if you can.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Minister facing her toughest test The economic wave the BC NDP government has been riding since coming to power two years ago looks like it’s about to hit the beach. The bad news is outlined in the government’s first quarterly report of the current fiscal year. It’s not so much about what is going on now but what is coming. Finance Minister Carole James has slashed her ministry’s forecast of economic growth in the current year by almost one-third. Next year is not expected to be much better: just 1.9 percent, down from the original forecast of 2.3 per cent. James has preferred to take the “glass is full” approach, stressing the budget is headed to a surplus this year and next year, and even with slumping numbers, B.C.’s economy is still outperforming other provinces. But retail sales have flatlined so far this year. B.C.’s economy also heavily relies on the exports of commodities, and those are down three per cent. The real estate sector has driven the provincial economy for years, and it is turning into a disaster area. Home sales are down 16 per cent, and property transfer tax revenues – which until recently were approaching the $2 billion level – are down almost a half-billion dollars already. Then there is the forest industry, which is the local economy for many communities outside of Metro Vancouver. So far, 6,000 forestry workers have either been laid off or sitting idle as

their mills are shut down for weeks at a time. The running count is 25 mill shutdowns or closures, affecting 22 communities. Despite this crisis, the NDP’s three-year fiscal plan still lists forest revenues as a $1.1-billion annual revenue stream.This year, revenues are running ahead of forecast, but only because of some higher logging taxes.This does not seem sustainable. With the economic slowdown, a number of other taxes – property, carbon, tobacco and fuel – are down this year as well, and the decrease will likely even be greater next year. Then there is ICBC.The government is sticking to its prediction that ICBC’s $1.18-billion deficit will all but disappear this year. Politically, the timing for all this economic disruption on the horizon could not be worse for the NDP. By the time the New Democrats test the electorate again, likely in the fall of 2021, voters will have gone through almost two years of economic stagnation or deterioration.Whether it is bad enough for them to sour on the NDP remains to be seen. On paper, the NDP is still forecasting balanced budgets for the next years. James has baked into her budget huge forecast “allowances” and contingency funds that should be enough of a buffer against tipping into deficits. But the good times are clearly over for a while. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Driver goes on a rampage An out-of-control red van left a swath of destruction in its wake in April.The driver careened down Sixth Street at about 2 a.m., tore a tree off at its base, demolished a street lamp, wrecked a large metal bicycle rack, destroyed the front window of CruiseShipCentres and broke a bus bench, pushing it into the middle of the street. A witness said they saw the van speed away west on Seventh Avenue and then north on Eighth Street. Officers were surprised it was able to keep going. “It was pretty awful looking and could have been quite dangerous if there were people around,” said CruiseShipCentres owner Carolyn Gray.

Council must vocally oppose UBCM event

Council burying head in the sand over depot

Editor: The Union of BC Municipalities’ annual conference is fast approaching, and I’m appalled the Chinese (government) is a sponsor. A couple of months ago, I emailed our mayor and council asking them to publicly oppose the presence of the (Chinese government) at the UBCM conference and indicate whether they planned to attend. To date, I have not received a reply from any of them. It seems odd that a mayor and council so intent on rectifying social injustices from the past would turn a blind eye to the soft power influences of a repressive totalitarian regime. Especially so in light of the fact we have Canadians languishing in Chinese jails, possibly facing the death penalty, not to mention thousands of Canadian farmers being unfairly penalized because we honoured an extradition agreement. In retired journalist Jonathan Manthorpe’s excellent book, Claws of the Panda, he details how over the past 25 years naive local politicians and trustees have been misled into thinking the (Chinese government’s) intentions were honourable. They are not, (they are) not our friend or ally, they are fully intent on achieving serious influence in our education, business and political arenas, and recent events have shown how they will punish anyone who challenges them. Our mayor and council should take a time out from tearing down statues and rewriting history to confront this current reality. Andrew Murray, New Westminster

Editor: It seems that, like the proverbial fable about the ostrich, our city council intends to bury its head in the sand when confronted with the profound disagreement over the relocation of the New Westminster recycling facility. Since the relocation was announced some months ago, hardly a week goes by without a letter objecting to this decision. Ron Howe’s letter in the Sept. 5 New Westminster Record is a case in point: he notes that a one-way trip to the new facility from Brow of the Hill will take longer than a round trip to the existing facility. All I can add is, Ron is lucky he did not encounter a train, which can stretch the trip out to a good half-hour each way, going the long way around via Lougheed. Our city council seems to want to pat itself on the back for decisions to ban single-use plastics and straws, and look at new ways to develop green building guidelines. Yet the decision most objected to (by my observation), which would help encourage New Westminster residents to lower their carbon footprint by recycling household materials, is completely ignored. Is our city council so insecure that it cannot admit it has made a mistake? Or does it simply intend to continue to bury its head in the sand, hoping the problem will go away? Peter Anderson, New Westminster

Student nutrition program to be rolled out district-wide

Stories by Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s voluntary school lunch program, which includes subsidies for families who need it, is being rolled out to the full school district over the course of September and October. The Fuel Up! program was launched at Queen Elizabeth Elementary, Queensborough Middle and École Qayqayt Elementary schools in February, before going before the school board in June to determine its future. At that meeting, staff

raved about the positive outcomes from the nutrition program, which includes a hot menu and a cold menu, gluten- and allergen-free options and culturally diverse options. But some trustees were skeptical of a five-year agreement with the school district’s partner in the program, Ready Maid Meals, citing concerns about whether the district had done its due diligence before committing. But school district spokesperson Holly Nathan said the five-year deal was later approved by the school board in an in-camera

meeting, and the program is now being expanded to four new schools this month. Lord Kelvin Elementary School was set to get the program on Monday, Sept. 16, followed by Glenbrook Middle and F.W. Howay Elementary schools on Sept. 24. Finally, Herbert Spencer Elementary School is scheduled to get the program on Sept. 26. On Oct. 8 to 11, the program will then be rolled out to the final four schools, including (in order) Fraser River Middle, Richard McBride Elementary, Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary and Connaught Heights El-

ementary schools. During the June meeting, staff spoke to the “really wonderful relationship” the district has with Ready Maid Meals, and the district’s surveys found the program was popular among staff and parents. “We’ve also heard that families find it easy to access the partial subsidy,” said director of instruction programs and planning Quirine Gamblen in June. A report on implementation of the program is expected at the next regular board meeting on Sept. 24, Nathan said.

Trustees considering pushing province for free HPV vaccine for boys The New Westminster school board is considering sending a letter to the B.C. Ministry of Health urging the province to make the HPV9 vaccine free of charge for all boys and men aged nine to 26. According to a motion submitted by trustee Dan-

ielle Connelly, an HPV9 vaccine – one of two vaccines, which covers a variety of types of HPV – can cost $500 out of pocket. Starting in 2008, girls in Grade 6 were able to receive the HPV9 vaccine free of charge, and that was extended to Grade 6 boys in

2017. However, the vaccine is only free for boys born in 2006 or later. Meanwhile, girls and women are eligible for the free vaccine if they begin the series of vaccines before they turn 19 and finish the series before they turn 26. “There should not be a

discrepancy based on sex for a vaccination that can save lives.The cost of the vaccine for boys not eligible for the free vaccination is so cost-prohibitive that those who want it might have to go without,” wrote Connelly in her motion. HPV infection is related

to nearly all cases of cervical cancer, 80 to 90 per cent of anal cancers, 40 per cent of vaginal and vulvar cancers, 40 to 50 per cent of penile cancers and 25 to 35 per cent of mouth and throat cancers, Connelly noted. The HPV9 vaccine protects against nine types of

HPV that cause 85 to 90 per cent of cervical cancer cases, 91 per cent of anal cancer cases in women and 84 per cent of anal cancer cases in men. It also protects against two types of HPV that cause 90 per cent of genital warts cases.

Community HEALTH CARE

RCH unveils music therapy for NICU babies Chris Campbell

ccampbell@newwestrecord.ca

Katherine Deane is in the middle of singing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star when she notices a reaction from her audience of one. For the past few minutes, tiny Kennedy McRae - born several months premature – has been slowly, gradually waking up as Deane sings softly to her. It has been a smooth process until Deane sees Kennedy moving her little arms to one side. It’s a movement so subtle, most people wouldn’t really notice it, but Deane stops strumming her guitar and places her hand on the baby’s chest - a movement she calls a “hand hug.” She doesn’t break for a moment from her gentle lullaby. Later, Deane says her training in music therapy for premature infants includes understanding how to look for subtle reactions from a baby, which could mean they are feeling overstimulated. “I’m always trying to tailor the music in the mo-

ments depending on the response,” Deane says. “It’s about building different layers into a session and, most importantly, being aware.” Deane is the centre director of West Side Music Together. She has a degree in music therapy, but has also done extensive training specifically in the area of premature infants in neonatal intensive care units, also known simply as NICUs. This led her all the way to a health-care facility in Kentucky to train through the National Institute for Infant and Child Medical Music Therapy. It’s this expertise that led to her being hired to conduct music therapy in one of Canada’s best NICUs at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. Since May, Deane has been coming to RCH two to three days per week. During each visit, Deane checks in by talking to NICU staff and parents to schedule different sessions. Deane sometimes works with infants who are just waking up – a sometimesjarring experience for a premature baby – but also with

babies who are breastfeeding. ‘There’s a lot of evidence about how music helps with brain development,” Deane said. As described above, the music also helps calm a baby. Parents, too – just ask David Wilcox. The Pemberton resident and his wife Adrienne have had an insanely stressful few months.They’ve been in RCH’s NICU for the past two months, a period that has included the couple’s twins – Teagan and Asher – being born at 33.5 weeks. David has been com$519,000

muting back and forth between Pemberton and New West.The couple also have a three-year-old named Kaden. So when Deane conducts one of her music therapy sessions with the couple’s twins – usually about 30 to 45 minutes in length – it’s not just the babies who benefit. “It’s really interesting because you see the kids relax, but also the parents, too,” David said. “It’s comforting.” That’s music to Deane’s ears because her goal is to also make life better for parents. $299,900

“A big part of what I do is to empower parents during a really difficult time,” she said, adding that some parents actually feel a sort of “shame” about singing,

It`s just one more thing you can offer a child

even to their children. Deane said she did the NICU training in the U.S. because it’s relatively “new” in Canada.This type of pro-

gram is starting to grow in this country, with Deane saying it’s been added at Surrey’s hospital and BC Women’s Hospital in Vancouver. RCH has been able to hire Deane thanks to funding from the Music Heals charity and through the support of the RCH Foundation. “It’s just one more thing you can offer a child,” said Deane. And with that, Deane grabbed her guitar and went back to work, starting a soft, gentle version of You Are My Sunshine to another child.

Community SPOTLIGHT ON

RIVERFEST

WHAT’S HAPPENING? Metro Vancouver’s biggest celebration of the environmental, economic and socio-cultural importance of the Fraser River returns to New Westminster Sept. 19 to 21. RiverFest, presented by the Port of Vancouver, includes a pop-up art show, a photography exhibit, performances by award-winning children’s entertainers and a parade of workboats on the Mighty Fraser. “We always look forward to RiverFest, our biggest event of the year that attracts close to 10,000 visitors down to the Westminster Quay,” said Stephen Bruyneel, Fraser River Discovery Centre’s director of external relations and development. “There will be three days of events and activities, meaning something for everyone in the family.” BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS

JUST A ONE-DAY EVENT? This year’s festival kicks off on Thursday, Sept. 19 with the New Westminster Arts Council’s pop-up art exhibition. This year’s theme is The Working River and its Natural Environment, and pieces have been submitted by nine local artists: Bettina Harvey; Janet Kvammen; Margarita Hobbes; Mat Holmstrom; Melissa Burgher; Ranu Chakraborty; Stephen Hawkins; Susan Greig; and Victoria Mitchell. WHAT ABOUT FRIDAY? The fun continues on Friday, Sept. 20 with the unveiling of the annual *click* photos of the fraser exhibit. This year’s theme, Life on the Fraser, has generated significant interested from local amateur photographers. The winning entries will be displayed for an entire year at Fraser River Discovery Centre.

WHAT ABOUT THE FESTIVAL? RiverFest 2019, taking place on Saturday, Sept. 21, features a full day of fun for the whole family, including the Family Fun Zone inside Fraser River Discovery Centre, live music featuring Juno award-winning artists Bobs and Lolo, Artisans on the River and the Lucille Johnstone Workboat Parade. The Family Fun Zone includes activities for folks of all ages. This year’s festival includes games like Pin the Tail on the Salmon, a range of new interactive “discovery boxes” and guided tours of the Journey Through the Working River exhibit. The Lucille Johnstone Workboat Parade, which is named after former Rivtow CEO and Discovery Centre founding patron Lucille Johnstone, is always a highlight of RiverFest. Taking place on Saturday afternoon, the parade features a variety of vessels that work on the Fraser River that come together to “show off” what they can. “The Fraser River means so much to all of us for so many reasons, but

sometimes I think we take it for granted,” Bruyneel said. “So, we hope people will come down during the week to not only have fun, but also increase their understanding – and help us celebrate – the living, working Fraser River.” DETAILS PLEASE: RiverFest 2019 will be up and running each day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All events and activities are free and are taking place in or outside the Fraser River Discovery

Community New West residents invited to chat about community Networking session will give people insight into Neighbourhood Small Grants program Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWest residents are invited to chat about community projects, small grants and learning. Culture Chats BC Association and Family Services of GreaterVancouver are teaming up to hold a free discussion and networking event on Thursday, Sept. 26 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the New Westminster Public Library. The event is part of theVancouver Foundation’s On the Table event series, which is for conversations about local issues. “All the topics that are discussed in a series of events across the province will be collected and shared, giving us an exciting snapshot of what’s on people’s minds right now,” said a write-up about the event. “It’s a fun, meaningful op-

portunity for people everywhere to meet, gather, and share.” Community members who have attended, volunteered for or organized a block party, workshop or other neighbourhood event are invited to share their experiences.The event is also celebrating the contributions of volunteers and community leaders who support community projects that make a positive impact on social cohesion and individual wellbeing – often with limited funds or resources. Through a partnership between Family Services of GreaterVancouver and theVancouver Foundation, Neighborhood Small Grants are provided annually for local residents to strengthen their community by bringing people together, sharing skills and knowledge, celebrating diversity and in-

creasing people’s sense of belonging. Maylen Crespo of Family Services of GreaterVancouver, who is the small grants coordinator in NewWest, is inviting small grant recipients to attend the Sept. 26 event and talk about their experiences and challenges. “Please join us for informal networking and conversations about the possibilities that the grant program can provide to our community and our neighbourhoods,” she said in a press release. “It is intended for project leaders but open to all.We can share tips and tricks for using social media for their community-building work, and how to plan events sustainably.” Drop-ins are welcome, but organizers prefer if attendees register at www. onthetablebc.com/ event/6dea65.

Community Urban Academy opens new campus Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster private school is more than doubling its capacity for students after opening its new campus in the Sapperton area. Urban Academy previously operated out of Robson Manor and an old orphanage. But since March, the school has been run out of a brand new facility at 466 Rousseau St., near the Braid SkyTrain Station. The facility, which is Urban Academy’s first purpose-built school, cost about $21 million between the land sale and construction. The building is remarkable for its departure from the typical school that might take up acres of land. Instead, Urban Academy, true to its name, fits tidily in an urban setting. It’s something city school districts have to consider more and more with less open space and more expensive land, said head of school Cheryle Beaumont. The new campus, rath-

er than building outward, is built more vertically, with four floors and the potential to add a fifth down the line. “We’re moving to a place where people have to seriously consider … doing things differently,” Beaumont said. “(We’re) really thinking seriously about transit and how young families can afford to access daycare and school.” And the new location has had interest from both the private and public sectors of education, Beaumont said – “everybody’s presented with the same challenges.” The school began with one teacher and 10 students in 2001, before acquiring Robson Manor, a Tipperary Park-area heritage house near the city’s centre, in 2006. In 2013, the school opened its second campus in a former orphanage near Sixth Street and Eighth Avenue, with grades 5 to 12 attending that location. Construction on the new building began in August 2017 and the school was able to move into the location on March 1, said Beaumont.

The new campus totals more than 50,000 square feet, including a 4,000-plussquare-foot gym. Junior kindergarten and kindergarten have the bottom floor, while grades 1 to 4 have class on the second floor.The third floor holds grades 5 to 12, and the top floor is currently unoccupied. It will, however, provide the school with room to grow. Coming from around 200 students in the previous two locations combined, the new school opened the year with 273 students. But the facility currently has capac-

ity for 450 students and another 100 if they add a fifth floor. The school held its grand opening on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 12 “It feels wonderful (to be moved in).The children are really enjoying it,” Beaumont said. “It’s fabulous, functional space; the natural light and the space makes a big, big difference to their learning.” Beaumont said the school has applied with the city to add a fifth floor but provided no timeline on when that might begin.

Vivo Children’s Choir welcomes new singers

Non-auditioned choir is open to all voices, with three levels for students in Grade 2 and up Is there a young singer in your household? Vivo Children’s Choir marks its 17th season this year, and new singers are being invited to join. New registrations are welcome throughout September. The choir – which describes itself as “New Westminster’s best-kept musical secret” – is an inclusive choir that’s open to all children in grades 2 and up, no auditions required. It’s led by three accomplished musicians and music educators: Carrie Taylor, Anne Wilson Unger and Ingrid Verseveldt.They founded the choir in 2002 to create a musical experience for their children and others in the area. Director Carrie Taylor, who teaches at Burnaby Central Secondary School, said the choir provides many benefits for young singers. “Vivo kids learn proper vocal technique, they sing quality repertoire, and they build one more community to belong to and feel good about,” she said in a press release. “They also tend to continue with singing

throughout high school and beyond. Several Vivo kids perform in the provincial Honour Choir and other enrichment programs in the city for advanced singers.” Unger, a member of the B.C. registered Music Teachers’ Association who teaches piano locally and leads choir at Glenbrook Middle School, noted the choral experience has even

Music education and the arts are such an important part of who we are as humans.

deeper benefits for singers than just the music itself. “Music education and the arts are such an important part of who we are as humans,” she said in the release. “We focus so much as a society on academics and sports but forget to encourage and support the cre-

ative side of our children’s personalities. In choir, they learn to be part of a team, and they develop focus, selfconfidence and artistry.The emphasis is on the whole group, not the individual, so all voice types feel encourages and supported and not singled out.” Moreover, she noted, the children learn to sing in different languages and they learn about the different cultures the songs come from. Vivo performs two concerts annually, in the winter and the spring, with invited guest choirs from local high schools, plus occasional community appearances. The choir meets Wednesdays at Olivet Baptist Church, 613 Queens Ave. Singers take part in three different choir levels: Animoso, for grades 2 and 3, meets from 4 to 5 p.m., while Bravura (grades 4 and 5) and Concento (Grade 6 and above) meet from 4 to 5:30 p.m. For information, to register or to attend a trial session, visit www.vivochild renschoir.com or email vivo. registrar@gmail.com.

Arts & Entertainment One-person musical shines a spotlight on gender-based casting Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

When it comes to performance, does it matter whether an actor is male or female?Who should be cast in which roles? It’s an ongoing discussion in the world of professional theatre, and it’s one that’s not likely to stop any time soon. For NewWestminsterbased Patrick Street Productions, it’s an issue they’re taking to heart – and to the stage. The theatre company is staging Herringbone, a oneperson cabaret musical by Canadian playwright Tom Cone.The twist? The show will be brought to life by Luisa Jojic and Peter Jorgensen, in alternating performances. “It’s going to be a really exciting, surprising ride that we take the audience on every night,” said Jorgensen, who’s also the co-artistic producer of Patrick Street Productions. The show, which is onstage at the Anvil Centre from Sept. 24 to Oct. 6, calls for the solo performer to play a dozen roles of varying genders and ages. As far as Jorgensen knows, this staging will be the first time Herringbone has been performed by a woman. He’s hoping some members of the audience will be inspired to go twice and see how the show changes with

a woman in the role versus a man. “It’s part of the conversation we want people to have: does gender or sex matter in how it impacts you?” he said. “The show does go to some dark, weird places in Act 2. I’m interested to see if it falls on people differently.” The story, for those who’ve yet to encounter the darkly comic Off-Broadway hit, is set in 1929. It follows eight-year-old George as he’s taken under the wing of a veteran vaudeville performer, becomes possessed by the spirit of his mentor’s vengeful partner and suddenly develops a remarkable talent for dancing. Unlike many other solo shows, this one’s a full, twoact musical, brought to life by the single performer and a three-piece band. That makes it a big job for musical director Sean Bayntun – “a monster on the piano,” as Jorgensen calls him – who has learned the score in two completely separate keys to accommodate the different vocal ranges of the two performers. Not to mention the demands on Jorgensen and Jojic in terms of acting, singing and dancing. “Everything I’ve ever learned is in this show,” Jorgensen joked. Jorgensen’s played some big roles before – Har-

old Hill in The Music Man, Henry Higgins in My Fair Lady – but they don’t come close to this one for the sheer demands on the performer. There’s the memorization of two acts’ worth of lines, songs and choreography.There’s the act of creating believable characters

Cabaret seating puts you in the action Continued from page 25 any given moment, is a challenge unto itself. “It’s like the old anecdote of patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time. It’s like trying to do that, but with 10 different limbs,” Jorgensen said with a laugh. Jorgensen and Jojic are both working with director Kayla Dunbar, and the blocking for both performances remains essentially the same since they’re working with one lighting design. But the two performers aren’t watching each other’s rehearsals. “It’s so easy to absorb another artist’s choices,” Jorgensen said, noting it’s the same reason he’s put away the cast soundtrack. “You never want to imitate; you want to create.” Adding to the experience for the audience will be the fact the Anvil Centre Theatre is being set up cabaretstyle; the main theatre seating is being pushed back, and a dozen or so tables will be set up surrounding a small stage.There will even

be a bar right in the theatre. Jorgensen hopes people will choose the cabaret seating. “It’ll bring a whole other level of enjoyment and excitement to that production,” he said, pointing out you don’t often get a chance to experience theatre just a couple of feet away from the actors. (Don’t worry, though; if you’re not keen on the idea of being that close to the spotlight, you can still choose regular theatre seating.)

Jorgensen is looking forward to feedback from the audience after this one – especially from those who see the play twice to experience both actors’ takes on the show. He really wants to find out whether this experiment in casting, and the switch in sexes, makes a difference to people’s experience of the story. “Part of me kind of hopes that it doesn’t, and part of me hopes that it does,” he said. “I honestly don’t know.”

Community Celebrate Literacy Week in New West Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Visit the New Westminster Public Library and get a library card if you don’t already have one. Look at photos and tell stories. Create a bucket list. Research something that happened on this day in 1968. Start a journal.Write a letter or an email to a family member. These are just some of the things the Literacy New Westminster Committee suggests you can do in September in celebration of Literacy Month. You’ll find a calendar filled with suggestions at www.tinyurl.com/ Literacy-Month-2019-NewWest. The committee creates and promotes awareness about the importance of literacy and supports local actions related to literacy. “Literacy is the key to opportunity for Canadians to increase their life changes and be successful in today’s modern world, as literacy is no longer simply the abil-

ity to read and write,” said a Literacy Month proclamation from the city. Here are some literacy stats compiled by Tristan Johnson, a senior planning analyst at the City of New Westminster: ! 16 per cent of British Columbians were at Level 1 literacy or below in 2012, based on the Program for International Assessment of Adult Competencies.These folks struggle with completing tasks related to daily living as a result of limited literacy skills. ! Between June 2017 and June 2019, renters sought 53 loans from the New Westminster Rent Bank. The majority of rent bank clients have budgeting and financial skill deficiencies, with some having literacy deficits in general. ! In 2016, New Westminster had 2,150 seniors aged 65 and up living in low-income households (20.8 per cent of seniors), and 2,140 didn’t have high school education or higher. For more information contact the committee at lit-

WOMEN’S INPUT WANTED The New Westminster Council of Women is kicking off its fall program with a look at mental health issues. The group is meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the second floor lounge at Wes-

ley Manor, 815 Kennedy St. (a small street just off of Eighth Street between Third and Fourth avenues). “Join us to hear about how the combination of the housing crisis in the Lower Mainland and overworked mental health services are creating challenges for one family,” said a notice about the event. “Please come and share your experiences, insights and ideas.” The event is free of

charge, but the New Westminster Council of Women appreciates small donations to cover the cost of light refreshments. Lesley Hebert, treasurer of the New Westminster Council of Women, said the group is primarily a women’s organization, but the event is open to anyone who is impacted by or interested in the topic.

Major University seeks participants for national hearing study. Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Hyacks pour it on in ﬁrst win

The rain couldn’t keep the fans away, and it couldn’t slow the New Westminster Hyacks down at Friday’s annual Homecoming Night at Mercer Stadium. The 3-A high school football team got a well-rounded performance from its running backs to blank G.W. Graham 40-0 in the final exhibition test before this weekend’s regular season opener in Victoria. Led by Grade 12 running back Michael Udoh, the No. 4-ranked Hyacks broke the stalemate late in the first quarter when Greyson Planinsic scored on a one-yard run. It came with 54 seconds to play in the quarter, and after Udoh had covered nearly half the field on backto-back runs of 19 and 22 yards. Alex Beschea kicked the point-after attempt to make it 7-0 New West. Just as the first quarter began with a long, backand-forth series of incompletions and fourth-andlong situations, neither team was able to gain much traction to start the second quarter. But New West broke it open when Udoh scored on a 17-yard dash with 3:57 left in the half. It was followed quickly by Planinsic’s second major of the day, this time off a 40yard run with 2:28 on the clock.

With the defence again containing the Grizzlies deep inside their own territory, New West added one more touchdown before the half, when quarterback Payton Myers pushed it across on a one-yard keeper just before the half expired. Ahead 26-0, New West picked up third quarter majors from Udoh, off a nineyard pass from Myers, and DeakonYoung, on a 30yard run, to wrap up the scoring. Udoh led all rushers with 98 yards on eight carries, while Planinsic tallied 76 yards on six runs. In all, New West registered 263 yards rushing. On a rain-slicked night, Myers completed two of five throws, both to Udoh, for 25 yards. Defensively,Vishaan Narayan collared seven tackles and one QB sack, while Tyson Black andYoung racked up four each. Andros Dancey also registered a QB sack. The New West defence held the Grizzlies, who are ranked No. 2 in 2-A league, to 85 total yards. It’s off to Victoria on Friday for the Hyacks, when they face the defending B.C. champion and No. 3-ranked Mount Doug Rams. It will be a rematch of last year’s provincial final, although both teams have turned over a great number of starters.

RUNNING IN THE RAIN: The New Westminster Hyacks celebrated their annual Homecoming game with a big 40-0 win over G.W. Graham last Friday. At top, running back Michael Udoh breaks free from Graham’s Daniel King for a big gain; at left, brothers Himmat and Mahtab Garcha run onto the field as part of the pre-game celebration; at bottom right, Samuel Webb, Manaf Al-Jawadi and Tyson Black join forces to stop a Graham rusher.

Swiss players eager to test skills at boxla worlds

NewWest native works behind the bench to help Switzerland rise up the lacrosse ladder Dan Olson

It may not be the international game that soccer is, but lacrosse has most of the corners of the globe covered, at least going by the competition at the world indoor lacrosse championships, which begin Thursday at the Langley Events Centre. Countries like Australia, Serbia, Israel and Costa Rica are among the 20 nations challenging for some form of victory – moral or otherwise – and peppered among those teams in pursuit of defend-

ing champion Canada are Lower Mainlanders chasing the dream. NewWestminster’s BrianTyacke has spent more than two years helping prepare Team Switzerland for its second go-round at the world championships. Living in Germany the past eight years, the 32-year-old accepted the coaching duties with an eye on getting his all-Swiss squad at a level to compete against the unknown. “We have 23 players, including two from the U.S. and one Canadian, but all the players live in Switzerland,” noted Tyacke. “The Swiss requirements are that play-

ers must live in Switzerland and be involved with their Swiss community.” They’ve been in Canada since Sept. 9, training and seeing the sights, but the self-funded team is focusing on representing their nation with pride. Tyacke, who played for Germany at the last world championships in Syracuse, N.Y., said many on the Swiss squad have a good basis of experience in the sport, through camps and games.With hockey Switzerland’s most popular sport, the team has some of the fundamentals that translate well to the

box, plus the arenas to practise in. Getting game experience, however, has been a hurdle. “That’s the biggest challenge,” he conceded. “That game experience is how you build your lacrosse IQ. (The players) are quick studies and are hardworking, so everyone’s excited for the tournament to begin.” Their first opponent on Thursday is Serbia, which has bolstered its lineup with some local additions – including Burnaby’s Alex and Ilija Gajic, Nik Bilic and Marko Konjevic. England has added the Burnaby Lakers’ Sam Clare

and is coached by former Burnaby Cablevision star and ex-New West junior ’Bellies coach Dan Perreault. Tyacke, who grew up playing against Alex Gajic in minor lacrosse, said that first test will be a terrific opportunity for his charges. “The Gajic brothers are really good, but our guys are excited and dedicated. It’s a team game, so I think all the training we’ve done together should be a benefit,” said Tyacke, who is joined on the bench by brother Neil, who plays goal for the New West senior Continued on page 33

Open House Invitation We would like to invite you to an open house on Thursday September 26th to discuss a re‐zoning application that has been submitted for 719 Colborne Street, New Westminster. The proposed re‐zoning of the subject property would allow for the conversion of the existing buildings into a use combination not permitted under the current RT‐2D zone. The owner would like to convert the existing Single Detached Dwelling and detached two‐car garage / loft into three (3) dwelling units and a two‐car garage. The unit mix would consist of a Principal Dwelling Unit, one (1) Secondary Suite, and one (1) Detached Accessory Dwelling unit over a two‐car garage. The property would remain a fee simple lot, with no subdivision or stratification proposed.

Goalie leads Royal charge

The Douglas College women’s soccer team maintained its unbeaten streak, edging Capilano University 2-1 on Saturday and battling fellow undefeated rival Vancouver Island to a 1-1 standstill on Sunday. Olivia Ortiz’s goal in the 76th minute proved to be the difference in the win over the Blues. Douglas College opened the scoring, when New West’s Taylor Spong buried the first shot of the game just two minutes into the contest. Capilano pulled even on Adrianna Babinski’s tally just before the 60th minute.

Tess Venables turned aside four shots to record the win. A day later, the Royals again struck first but needed some stellar play from Venables to earn the single point. Alyssa Lum notched her second goal of the season just six minutes after the opening kick.Vancouver Island tied it on Taylor Kinley’s marker midway through the second half. Venables make seven saves, while VIU’s Melanie Osborne had to stop five Douglas shots.The Royals head to Langara on Saturday and host Capilano on Sunday.

Swiss seek for ﬁrst worlds win

Continued from page 32 Salmonbellies. In 2015, the Swiss made their world championship debut, finishing with an 0-4 record with 13 nations represented. Other locals involved in the tournament include New West-raised Iain Murray, who lives in Eng-

land and will be playing for Scotland. Unlike the last world championships, the Scottish team will be composed of players from the United Kingdom and primarily Scotland. Salmonbellie legend and lacrosse hall-of-famer Rod Banister will be coaching Hong Kong, while Rick

Wills is joining brother Rusty to lead the Netherlands’ training staff. The tourney starts Thursday when Australia plays Costa Rica, and Scotland takes on Slovakia at 10:30 a.m. The schedule and info on tickets can be found at www.wilc2019.ca.

He is also survived by his brother’s wife, Nettie Luporini, and many dear nephews and nieces. He was predeceased by his sisters, Mary (Bernie), Viola (Fred), and his brother Ken. Ray and Elsie travelled the world extensively, making friends everywhere. Ray’s passing leaves an enormous void.
