Q to Q praised for runs during winter storm Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The Q to Q ferry was a hit among Queensborough residents during last Wednesday’s extreme weather event. Laura Ranalletta of the Queensborough Residents’ Association said the Jan. 15 run of the Q to Q was a resounding success. “Particularly for some essential service workers, it was the only way to safely get to work,” she told the Record via Twitter. “In addition to regular commuters, the ferry was A+ to families who couldn’t travel safely by car or bus to get provisions.” Cory Herndon agrees. “Snow and ice? Bah. Wind and cold? They didn’t shirk. And the crew, as always, was second to none,” he said in a Twitter message to the Record. “Really, the #QtoQ is the best part of my daily commute whatever the weather.” One Queensborough resident had planned to take the ferry, but those plans were scuttled – but not because of the Q to Q. “I was planning to take it for a hair appointment but wouldn’t you know it my hair appointment was cancelled due to (the) stylist not making in.Too bad she doesn’t live in Queensborough!” Jocelyne Shigehiro said in an email to the Record. “Watched the little ferry battle through the snow and ice all day. Kudos to the operators!” Mike Shannon, owner of Bowen Land and Sea Taxi, said the crew reported it was quite a “memorable” day for the crew. “It was the best way to get out of Queensborough,

Some people didn’t even know it existed until someone mentioned it, even though it’s been there a while.” Feedback from folks who tried the ferry for the first time indicated the Q to Q may have some new customers. “For people who take

their cars across the bridge it is getting worse and worse and worse,” he said. “Yesterday was a nudge maybe to try it out.” During the 7 to 8:30 a.m. rush hour on Jan. 15, 61 commuters took the ferry across the water. “That is about normal. However, about three-quarters of those were new faces.That was good,” Shannon said. “Throughout the day it was nonstop – trips to Safeway and Donald’s (now City Avenue Market) for supplies in case the power

It is just like sandpaper.The ice floats and the propeller is deeper down.We just push our way through it.” B.C. Ferries has had to cancel sailings during high winds in recent weeks, but that hasn’t been the case with the Q to Q. “We have had zero days down this year.The year before, when the White Rock pier went out, we ran all but
two hours that day.There was nobody coming out, for one, and it was bouncing so much at the dock that it wasn’t safe to board,” Shannon said. “We have never had a day down since we have started.” The Q to Q ferry travels daily between Westminster Quay (at Inn at the Quay) to the Port Royal public dock in Queensborough. The ferry’s schedule is found at www.newwestcity. ca/qtoqferry.

City POLICING
‘Unfounded’ rate climbs despite new policy
The Record looked at data of assaults and sexual assaults determined by NewWest police to be ‘unfounded’ Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca
The rate of reported assaults and sexual assaults determined by NewWestminster police to be “unfounded” increased between 2018 and the first nine months of 2019, despite a nationwide policy change on how police complaints are classified. Asked about data from a police board meeting, which showed a higher number of assaults in 2019 over 2018, the NewWestminster Police Department said the increase was likely due to the change in how police forces determine which cases are “founded” and “unfounded” – police classifications for whether or not a crime is believed to have occurred. Until Dec. 31, 2018, police needed to show reasonable grounds that a crime occurred on the date, time
The #metoo movement encourages people to come forward and helps remove the associated stigma.
and location it was reported to be considered founded. But as of Jan. 1, 2019, a complaint is considered founded by default unless an investigation shows otherwise. Theoretically, that should translate into an increase in founded files, which would show an apparent bump in crimes, as crime-rate statistics focus on founded complaints.
The Record asked NWPD communications staff in October for the data on how many claims were classified as founded/unfounded for 2019 and 2018 to gauge the effect of the policy change. However, more than a month later, the request was denied, because comparing 2018 and 2019 unfounded data would be “invalid” due to the policy change, according to Sgt. Jeff Scott, who directed the Record to the freedom-of-information process to obtain those stats. The Record recently obtained, through an FOI request, data for January to September 2019 for assaults and sexual assaults to compare with Statistics Canada data for 2017 and 2018. The data show the rate of unfounded claims of both assault and sexual assault actually increased in the first nine months of 2019, and the rate of overall claims of both also significantly increased. Between January and September 2019, 389 claims of assault and 59 claims of sexual assault were made to the NWPD.That includes 45 assault claims (11.57%) classified as unfounded and nine sex assault claims (15.25%) classified as such. By comparison, 441 claims of assault and 29 claims of sexual assault were made in all of 2018, according to StatsCan data. That includes 45 unfounded assault claims (10.2%) and four sex assault claims (13.79%) classified as unfounded. Asked for comment on the increases in unfounded rates among sexual assault and assault claims, Scott repeatedly insisted the comparison between 2018 and 2019 was not valid because of the policy change. “We can’t accurately compare these two numbers, but according to Stats Canada there was an antici-
CRIME DATA: The rate of reported assaults and sex assaults determined by police to be “unfounded” in New West climbed in the first nine months of 2019, despite policy changes intended to decrease the unfounded rates. PHOTO RECORD FILES pated decline in these numbers after the change,” Scott said in an email. “So, why the supposed increase in unfounded rates for sexual assaults in 2018 to 2019 when the expectation was that it would decrease?We already can’t compare 2018 to 2019, but there were expected outcomes.There are variables that affected the anticipated outcomes.” Among the variables, Scott noted the creation of the NWPD’s special investigations unit, which was created in January 2018 to “build bridges and remove barriers that victims may experience,” including dedicating a full-time detective
to work with victim support workers. “Furthermore, the #metoo movement encourages people to come forward and helps remove the associated stigma.Therefore, the expected outcomes after the change to reporting was affected,” Scott said. “But again, statistics between 2018 and 2019 cannot be accurately compared and we cannot make reasonable deductions from the dataset.” While the 2019 unfounded rate increased compared with 2018, the unfounded rate for sexual assaults remained well below the rate in 2017 and the period between 2010 and 2014, for
which data was made available through a Globe and Mail investigation. StatsCan began compiling the data in 2017, following the Globe investigation, which found one-in-five sexual assaults nationwide were dismissed as “unfounded.”The Globe published unfounded data from hundreds of police forces throughout the country from 2010 to 2014, including the NWPD. Comparing the various data, the first nine months of 2019 showed the highest rate of unfounded claims of assaults among the eight years of available data (no data are available for 201516), despite the policy
change. There was also a higher rate of claims, including founded and unfounded, in 2019 (43.22/month) compared with any other year. The second-highest rate was in 2010, with 38.67 claims per month. For sexual assaults the first three quarters of 2019 had the third-lowest unfounded rate, with 2011-14 and 2017 all seeing rates between 21% and 33%. However, last year also had a far higher rate of sex assault claims than any other year, at 6.56 claims per month. The second highest rate came in 2017, at 4.42% per month.
Watchdog called in to investigate injury in police custody Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca
A B.C. police watchdog has been called to investigate an injury in police cells, the NewWestminster Police Department said in a news
release. A man was reportedly alone in a cell at around 7 p.m. when he “required medical attention after sustaining a reported injury,” the NWPD said in a news release.
The man was taken to hospital for assessment and treatment, the force said. “The cell block is staffed by an on-duty jail guard,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott. “Because the male was in our custody at the time of his reported
injury, we have engaged the Independent Investigations Office who have since taken conduct of the investigation. We have also notified the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner of the incident.”
With the matter being investigated by the IIO, police said they would not be providing any further information on the incident. “Please note that all aspects and circumstances of this incident will be the sub-
ject of independent investigation and verification by the IIO BC,” police said in the news release. The IIO investigates incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Homeowner grant is a relic that needs changing
B.C. Finance Minister Carole James has tightened the rules for homeowner grants. Last year the maximum property value eligible for the grant was $1.65 million.That ceiling has been reduced to $1.525 million, reflecting a decline in house prices. Nevertheless, James says 92% of homeowners will still qualify. The rationale behind the program is supposed to be that it helps lessen the impact of property taxes.
Homeowners who qualify apply to their local municipality, which, in turn, is reimbursed by the province. But very little about this scheme makes sense. For a start, it’s enormously expensive. In 2020, the Finance Ministry estimates the all-in cost at $849 million. That’s twice what the province spends on policing, and nearly four times the Environment Ministry’s budget. Then again, do people
owning homes worth a million and a half dollars really need a government handout to help pay their property taxes? We can carry that argument a little further. A good chunk of the program’s cost comes from taxes paid by families who could never afford a house of their own. This is basically a forced transfer from low- and middle-income earners to the well-off.That is the definition of a regressive policy. Nor is it difficult to think
of ways the money could be better spent.There is no need to detail the many inadequacies of our healthcare system. Clearly, it is struggling in nearly every aspect. Yet the budget increase given the Health Ministry this year was barely enough to keep pace with inflation, population growth and aging. Add the $849 million we spend on homeowner grants, and the lift would have nearly doubled. Isn’t
that a higher priority? Just one-tenth of the grant funding would have doubled the budget for the Ministry of Jobs,Trade and Technology. And aren’t technology and trade the future of our economy? It’s true a case can be made for helping elderly homeowners who may have difficulty paying their property taxes.The same can be said of people who face serious medical issues. So yes, properly targeted, and greatly reduced in size,
the program could play a useful role. But, as things stand, little effort has been made at selecting those most in need. Indeed, the opposite is true. The major beneficiaries are those least in need. In essence what we see here is the inability, or unwillingness, of governments to keep up with the times. This program is a relic and needs a rethink to make it fairer to everyone. – Guest editorial, VictoriaTimes Colonist
MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL
Enough nonsense on the Pattullo
Plans have been in place for a long time for the $1.377-billion Pattullo Bridge replacement. It will continue to be four lanes connecting NewWestminster and Surrey.The new bridge will feature dedicated pedestrian and cyclist lanes separated from traffic by a barrier on both sides of the bridge. It is expected to open in 2023. But that isn’t good enough for the Surrey Board of Trade, which has issued yet another plea to make the bridge six lanes. “Now that the BC Government has selected a partnership of construction companies, Acciona and Aecon, to build the replacement for the aging Pattullo Bridge between Surrey and NewWestminster, the Surrey Board of Trade is continuing their urgent ask to the BC Government to reconsider building a fourlane Pattullo Bridge and build a six-lane bridge to prepare for future population growth,” reads a news release. Nonsense. I say nonsense for two main reasons. One is it’s ludicrous to expect that after all of the planning that’s gone into the project – and the costs accrued – the government should just rip up the plans and start over. It’s nonsense to expect the bidding process to start again from scratch – delaying the project even longer. A sixlane bridge would be even more expensive than the current project. The second bit of nonsense is the Surrey Board of Trade’s lack of understanding of how traffic planning
works. If you listen to traffic-planning experts, adding two more lanes would not improve congestion – it could actually make things worse. There’s a thing called “induced demand” and, according to the respected urban planning website CityLab, “adding new roadway capacity also creates new demand for those lanes or roads, maintaining a similar rate of congestion, if not worsening it.” If you add more of something, you’ll get more people using it. Just look at Seattle.They have freeways with lots of lanes, and every single one of those lanes clogs up. And even if you did offer three lanes coming from Surrey to NewWest, that extra lane still has to disappear on the north side of the bridge because the local road only has two lanes. It will create a chokepoint that will only back up traffic. The Pattullo needs replacing because it’s old and falling apart. It’s also always been dangerous due to the way it was designed. Replacing the Pattullo is about offering a safer, streamlined bridge. It should improve flows, but it’s not some sort of magical solution to congestion – more roads never are a magic bullet.You could build eight lanes, and it wouldn’t fix things. Investing in more transit and moving jobs south of the Fraser are two far better ways to cut down on congestion. The Surrey Board of Trade needs to stop all of this nonsense and just accept what’s coming.

Bailiff charged for tampering A local bailiff company faced criminal charges for tampering with the odometers of cars it was selling. Nine counts were laid against the business, its owner and its sales manager for misleading customers about the mileage on the vehicles at their lot. An additional count was laid solely against the owner for allowing odometer tampering while being the director of a corporation. Police alleged a number of vehicles the business had brought in from Alberta had their odometers tampered with before the vehicles were resold in B.C. New West police teamed up with the Consumer Affairs office.

Letters INBOX
Child care in NewWest is at a crisis point Editor: We are writing this open letter to express our ongoing concern with the lack of before- and after-school child care in New Westminster, specifically for the Richard McBride catchment. We would like to express this as a crisis situation for our family and many others locally. Our daughter will start attending the wonderful Richard McBride community school September 2020. We are currently on seven before- and after-school waitlists locally. We have been on one since our daughter was in utero, others since infancy and others as home-based or private options have opened over the years. We are being told there’s minimal chance of an offering for her for September 2020 at any of the seven locations. We represent the changing face of families in New Westminster. In the 10 years we’ve lived here, we’ve supported and seen our elderly neighbours pass and young families scrape together all their savings to purchase and stressed to afford renting locally. We are the families needing to work full-time to have a home. We juggle our schedules so our daughter is with us as much as possible, but that still means we need eight hours a day of support. We are the sandwich generation, our parents requiring our attention on the beautiful facets of aging themselves. Gone are the days of affordable housing or housing the size of multi-generational housing. Of the Ministry for Education, we request evaluation of this crisis and funding to increase
spots within existing Westminster Children’s After School Society (WCASS) and provide before- and after-school spots at the new Richard McBride school. Of the Ministry for Health, Fraser Health and MCFD, we request both licensing support and a recognition of the vital importance of this provision for our children. We request consideration for child ratios to include part-time spots, thereby increasing total numbers but acknowledging the need for part-time spots. We know of families who hold a full-time spot but utilize it part-time or less. To MCFD, we want to also take this opportunity to thank you for rolling out day care and preschool subsidies these last two years. Of the City of New Westminster and the New Westminster School District, we request your community engagement with the Richard McBride community in a meaningful way to capture and respond to this crisis, including increasing WCASS spots and the new Richard McBride school redesign to include before- and afterschool spots and programming. We request city staff support to walk children from their schools to already existing city programs at community centres, many of which begin at 3:30 p.m. We request inter-ministerial and inter-governmental communication and action. We commit to working within our local community to create responses to this crisis, expecting that not be the reason for your inaction, but rather our commitment to a cohesive local response. We know this situation will only just compound in crisis for future generations. Your actions are needed now to support child and family growth. Nora, Meaghen and Nathan Taylor-Reid, New Westminster

City ENVIRONMENT
New West urged to convert roads to other uses Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Local residents are urging the City of New Westminster to be bold and to fasttrack a plan to convert roads to other uses. City council has approved “seven bold steps” to address the climate emergency, which includes creating a quality, people-centred public realm.The plan is to reallocate a minimum of 10% of today’s street spaces that serve only motor vehicles, including transit, to sustainable transportation or public gathering spaces by 2030. “I don’t see in this budget concrete ideas or plans to reach this goal, so I am here to urge you to take the next step and to commit in this 2020 budget to create car-free streets that put the environment and the people first,” Katelyn Maki, New Westminster organizer for Force of Nature, recently told council. “In particular, I urge you to look at Columbia Street in downtown and an uptown area at
Sixth and Sixth, as we have been hearing a ton of support from the community for making these areas carlight or car-free zones.That is the kind of visionary, transformative action we urgently need.” Maki was among the residents belonging to Force of Nature who recently addressed council about the city’s proposed 2020 to 2024 capital budget. “We are in a climate emergency now, no doubt, so reducing our reliance on single-occupancy vehicles has to be a top priority. It’s time for visionary, transformative climate solutions,” Maki said. “We would like to see this taken a step further. It should really change the game and not be more of the same.” While he was heartened when city council declared a climate emergency and announced its seven bold steps to tackle climate change, Sebastian Salda said he’s concerned about the lack of funding proposed in 2020 to repurpose 10% of streets for pedestrian use, sus-
tainable transit and public gathering places. He hopes council can “be bold” with implementation of the climate strategy and support a budget that reflects that vision. “Ten per cent of streets being reallocated for sustainable transit, as well as pedestrians and public gathering, can mean a lot of things,” he said. “That can be 10% of side streets that has very little impact or it can be 10% of major roads that will have a big impact. It is these major roads that need to be targeted, such as the uptown area or the downtown areas of New Westminster, to get the true benefits of pedestrianizing streets or making streets car-light.” Brendan Vance is pleased the budget includes funding for initiatives such as greenways and tree canopies but would like the city to start taking steps to reallocate 10% of road space toward active transportation modes starting this year if possible. Avalon Findlay thinks the city is proposing a “pret-

ty good budget” overall but should include work on carfree streets. She said carfree streets would result in fewer pedestrian deaths and would increase pedestrian traffic to support local businesses. “You can do better. I even think the goal can be better,” she said. “Ten years? Admittedly, I am no city planner, but I don’t think it should take more than two. Hell, one. One – now that’s
a bold move.” Garey Carlson, co-chair of the HUB New Westminster cycling coalition, agrees that giving “some of the abundance of asphalted land that is used for carbonemitting vehicles” back to the community will contribute immediately to building a stronger and healthier community. “I strongly encourage council to ensure enough money is included in the
2020 budget so that a thorough assessment and benchmarking report can be developed, identifying our city’s current inventory of road space primarily used for motor vehicles,” he said. “This must be done this calendar year so that the implementation and monitoring of the 10% reallocation over the next 10 years can be done transparently and in a timely manner.”

City Steps being taken to protect kids using city spaces In May 2019, about 200 city employees received training as part of the Commit to Kids program, with remaining employees set to complete the required training online in the coming months. A leadership team, which includes senior staff from the parks and recreation, library and cultural services departments, developed and/or updated several city policies in order to create a “consolidated and encompassing approach” to child protection in public facilities and spaces. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy said he’s proud of the work being done by the city to address children’s safety, and he believes it’s an example of New Westminster being a leader on the issue. “When it came to council, council actually said, ‘Can we also take this out to the broader community?’ So, working with sports groups and things like that,” he said. “We are doing our best working with the lead

New Westminster is taking steps to ensure kids are protected from abuse when they’re using city services or spaces. Council has approved a new child protection policy and procedures, which respond to a November 2018 motion directing staff to implement the Commit to Kids initiative. “The Commit to Kids program is developed by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the personal safety of children, to help organizations create safe environments for children,” said a staff report. “It provides strategies, policies and a step-by-step plan for reducing the risk of child exploitation.The program encourages organizations to take an active, participatory role in protecting children in their care.”
agency in Canada to try and make sure we have the safest programs and facilities for children, to prevent any possible incidents of abuse.” Along with taking actions of its own, the city’s parks and recreation department will also be liaising with community organizations, including arts and minor sports groups, to convey the program benefits and to seek their participation by adopting the Commit to Kids program and having their staff or volunteers complete online training. “At this time we are not making it a requirement, but we are strongly encouraging participation,” said Steve Kellock, the city’s senior manager of recreation services and facilities. “There is another avenue that, in particular, the sports groups are receiving the same message from. And that’s through some of the national sports organizations who are also in support of this initiative.”

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8175, 2019 111 First Street, 115 & 117 First Street, and 118 Park Row PROJECT DESCRIPTION A Zoning Bylaw Amendment is proposed to rezone three non-conforming duplex properties (111 First Street, 115 & 117 First Street, and 118 Park Row) in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood from Single Detached Residential Districts (Queen’s Park) (RS-4) to Duplex District (RT-1). These three existing non-conforming duplexes were constructed at a time when two family zoning existed (between November 1950 and May 1987) in the area bounded by Queen’s Avenue, Granville Street and Royal Avenue. In 1987, this area was rezoned to single family use, resulting in the three properties no longer conforming to the use in their current zoning. If rezoned to RT-1, the three properties would have a use consistent with their zoning, and would be exempted from the Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? From January 13 to January 27, 2020, read the bylaw and related material in the Planning Division at City Hall: Mondays between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm and Tuesdays through Fridays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm except statutory holidays, and online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices.

Arts & Entertainment MUSIC
World-class chamber music comes to New West Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@westrecord.ca.
For Kevin Park, there’s nothing as musically satisfying as the intimacy of a chamber music performance. A large symphony orchestra is one thing. But a string quartet, a piano trio or a duo? That, he says, is how to best experience the world of classical music. “If you haven’t heard classical music and you want to approach it, you’d better start with chamber music,” he said. “The concert itself is a lot more personal and intimate, and you get to hear each instrument so much up close. Each instrument brings their soloistic qualities, whereas in an orchestra you have 12 violinists, 10 cellists … That’s the beauty of chamber music; you get to hear each instrument in a much more upclose, personal manner, and you can also hear the composer and the way the music was written in a much more personal way. It’s all about intimacy and personal experience.” Park, a NewWestminster resident, is the founder and artistic director of the Vancouver Chamber Music Society. He’s spearheading a new series of concerts right here in NewWestminster, with five concerts at the Anvil Centre Theatre in the 2019/20 season. The third in the series, featuring Duo Solisti – cellist Brannon Cho and violinistYoojin Jang – is coming up Saturday, Jan. 25. Cho made his Canadian debut performance at a Vancouver Chamber Music concert in 2018 inWestVancouver. “Brannon was on my radar for several years because
he was making such a sensation in North America,” Park said, noting he was already winning pretty much all the major international cello competitions. “We invited him as an up-andcoming artist to watch for.” After hisWestVan appearance, he took another top prize – first place at the International Paulo Cello Competition in Finland – and solidified his place among the world’s rising stars. “Since then he’s been very busy travelling all over the world,” Park said. “We really wanted him back because our audience was so profoundly touched by his performance.” For Cho’s return visit, Park wanted to see something new – thus the presentation of the duo. Park said the NewYork-based Jang is equally as virtuosic on violin as Cho is on cello, and she’s already well-known in Japan, Korea and Europe.The Vancouver Chamber Music series will mark her Canadian debut. “This concert will be very virtuosic but still has all the chamber music qualities and the maturity and sophistication of all the compositions by Bach, (Maurice) Ravel, (Reinhold) Glière and (Zoltán) Kodály,” Park said. The fourth concert in the series, featuring the rising youngViano String Quartet, is coming up on Saturday, Feb. 29.The Californiabased quartet, which was formed in 2015 at the Colburn Conservatory of Music in L.A., includes New Westminster native Tate Zawadiuk on cello. The foursome are another group of artists that Park has been watching closely for some time. He first saw them when he was watching

PHOTO AT LEFT CARLIN MA PHOTO AT RIGHT CONTRIBUTED the live stream of the Banff International String Competition in 2017, when they made it to the semifinals. “Obviously these kids were probably the youngest participants, but I could hear their talent. It was very special,” he recalled. In January 2019, he booked the foursome to perform as part of the chamber music series – after which they went on to win the top prize in the 2019 edition of the Banff competition. “This is the very best recognition for any string quartet,” Park said. “Once you win the first prize, you’re immediately booked with agencies and world tour performances.This is the
best recognition any professional string quartet can get.” The season will end with a special fifth concert on April 19, when world-renowned cellist Gary Hoffman comes to town with pianist David Selig to perform the complete Beethoven sonatas for cello and piano, in recognition of the composer’s 250th anniversary. Hoffman, whom Park noted is regarded as “one of the very best living cellists of our time,” is originally from Vancouver but moved to the U.S. in his early teens and now lives in Paris, primarily recording and performing in Europe. “He seldom makes it back to Canada,” Park said.
That he’s coming to perform at the Anvil Centre for theVancouver Chamber Music Society series is a testament to Park’s commitment to presenting only the highest calibre of musicians, to help in his mission to bring the joy of chamber music to audiences in all parts of the Lower Mainland. As people move out of downtownVancouver because of its affordability crisis, Park said, he wants to see them able to access topquality music in their own communities – which is why his series has branched out to NewWest, as well as North andWestVancouver, Coquitlam and Tsawwassen.
“It’s been really appreciated,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of letters from our new audiences in these cities. They really appreciate the fact we’re bringing the concerts to outsideVancouver.” Now, Park just wants to see the local audience grow. With the Anvil Centre Theatre having a capacity of 400, he’s aiming to hit a solid 200 audience members for the first year of concerts. And, given the theatre’s quality and its central location – not just for NewWest residents, but for anyone on a SkyTrain line – he’s optimistic he’ll see that happen. Tickets are on sale now through www.ticketsnw.ca. See www.vancouver chambermusic.com for info.

Arts & Entertainment NWSS grad stars in Rocket Man Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca
For Ryan Langevin, coming to New West to perform on the Massey Theatre stage is the very best sort of homecoming. It’s the first place he ever sang on stage, back when he was a New Westminster Secondary School student in 1993 and the school’s jazz band was looking for a singer. Langevin was a singer and piano player, but aside from music lessons and the occasional small recital, he hadn’t sung in a public setting. The experience was a revelation. “It kind of made me realize music is even more fun when you’re doing it in a group setting with other talents,” he said. Fast forward to 2020, and the now 42-year-old Langevin has been making a living as a performer and music teacher since graduating with a vocal jazz degree from Capilano University. He’ll be taking to the Massey Theatre stage on Saturday, Feb. 1 in The Rocket Man – a Tribute to Elton John (and serving as his own opening act with The Piano Man, his tribute to Billy Joel). He’s been a fan of both artists for many years. In fact, Billy Joel’s River of Dreams concert in Vancouver in 1993 was his first ever concert, and the one that sealed his own decision to be a professional musician. “That’s when I knew this is really what I wanted to do,” he recalls. “The rush of looking forward to a live performance, having people behind me, creating relationships with people, whether it’s the audience or people in your group – you know, it just opened me up to a whole new avenue.” Langevin’s Rocket Man/ Piano Man show is one he’s been performing for a dozen years now. It originally began in smaller venues, but after the giant success of the Elton John biopic Rocketman last year, it’s grown into a larger show.
These days, Langevin describes it as a “Vegas-style” performance, complete with full band, backup singers, dancers, lighting – the whole works. His repertoire covers both artists’ greatest hits. Billy Joel fans can expect such classics as Piano Man, Uptown Girl, and Only the Good DieYoung; Elton John aficionados can enjoy Candle in theWind, Crocodile Rock, Benny and the Jets and more. Pressed to pick his own favourites, Langevin cites Joel’s NewYork State of Mind – “when you’re playing it, it reminds me of being in NewYork, being a regular person in a big environment like that” – and John’s Honky Cat. Though Langevin notes the two artists are often compared to each other, he says they’re not really that similar. “They’re totally different artists,” he said. “What they have in common is they both make amazing music, and they have amazing stories to tell in their music.” He tries to perform the artists’ work in a style that’s true to the original, but drawing on his own personal experiences to bring emotional truth to the music. “You wouldn’t want it to sound any way but the way the artist would do it himself,” he said. “Paying tribute means, yes, you’re playing their music, but you’re almost doing it in your own words. … Pretty much every song that they’ve ever written is on a personal level; I can relate on a personal level as well.” Langevin, who spent 14 years teaching piano and voice at the Neil Douglas Guitar Shop on 12th Street, is looking forward to coming back to New Westminster to share his concert with the community. He’s stayed in touch with local audiences over the years, he says, noting many New West folks will know him from performances at seniors’ homes and Century House, among others. As far as Langevin is concerned, when he steps on

stage it’s as if he’s invited the audience over to his home for the evening. “That’s what I consider the audience – my living room,” he says. “We’re going to talk, we’re going to have fun, we’re going to enjoy each other’s company.

Community Museum celebrates city’s Sikh history Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The New Westminster Museum and Archives’ latest exhibition explores and celebrates the Sikh community of New Westminster. An Ocean of Peace: 100 Years of Sikhs in New Westminster opened Jan. 15 and is running until May 31 in the New Westminster Museum. Guest curators Paneet Singh and Naveen Girn are ready to unveil this exhibition, after a year of interviewing community members at the Sukh Sagar Gurdwara, at the museum and in residents’ homes “This is a generational story,” Girn said in a news release. “From images and documents related to the history of Bhai Mewa Singh that have never been publicly displayed, to ongoing stories of service and volunteerism, this exhibition is an opportunity to reflect on the history of Sukh Sagar Gurdwara and the South Asian community’s impact on New Westminster.”
The opening reception for An Ocean of Peace is on Friday, Jan. 24, starting at 6 p.m. and features tours, refreshments and more Queensborough’s Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar celebrated its 100th anniversary in March 2019. “This exhibition, developed in partnership with the Khalsa Diwan Society New Westminster, explores and celebrates the Sikh community of New Westminster and their relationship to their place of worship – the spiritual, political, and social centre of the community,” said a press release from the city. “The result is an immersive experience capturing the sights and sounds of Gurdwara life, and an exploration of themes of belonging, spirituality, identity, community-building, celebration, and activism.” As part of the exhibition, members of the local Sikh community are invited to share photos and memories through the #SukhSagar100 hashtag on social media, as well as at the

ROYAL COLUMBIAN HOSPITAL
Gin donates $1.5M to Royal Columbian A businessperson is calling on others in the private sector to contribute to local health care after his foundation donated $1.5 million to the Royal Columbian Hospital’s ER renovations. Jack Gin announced the donation in the hospital’s Columbia Tower Monday morning, surrounded by RCH Foundation officials. The donation will help fund phase two of the hospital’s $1.49-billion redevelopment, which largely focuses on a multi-storey acute-care tower, expected to be finished by 2024. That will include a new emergency department with 75 treatment bays, increasing the department’s capacity by more than half.This will help the hospital to continue its role as one of three critical care hospitals in the province, the RCH Foundation said in a news release. RCH is the only B.C. hospital with trauma, cardiac, neurosciences, highrisk maternity and neonatal intensive care in one site, the foundation added.That means patients come from all around the Fraser Health region and beyond to get critical care. Gin’s donation, officials
said, will allow the hospital to develop an imaging unit within the hospital’s emergency department.The unit will be a satellite to the imaging department, allowing patients requiring urgent imaging to get the work done without needing a transfer between departments. The satellite unit will house technology dedicated to the ER area, including a CT scanner, ultrasound and two radiology rooms. Dr.William Siu, a neuro and interventional radiologist at RCH, said the added technology in the ER will allow the hospital to respond more quickly to cases like trauma and stroke, in which every minute counts. “In trauma, there is the term ‘the golden hour,’ where (in) the very first hour, the most important thing for us to get our patients back to good health is rapid diagnosis and rapid treatment,” Siu said. “The satellite imaging centre in the new redevelopment of the emergency department will bring this critical imaging equipment right to the front door of our hospital so that these patients will get the diagno-

sis as quickly as possible.” Asked how major donations like Gin’s come about, RCH Foundation CEO Jeff Norris said it can be the donor seeking to fund a service of their interest, the foundation seeking donations for necessary equipment or a combination of the two. In the case of Gin, the engineer and entrepreneur said he is interested in tech-
nology and wanted to see the hospital have more access to health-care tech. Gin, who described his family as very private and uncomfortable in the spotlight, made much of his money through, Extreme CCTV, a Burnaby hightech surveillance equipment company he founded. “At the time, Canada’s privacy commissioner did not like us, nor did the B.C.
Civil Liberties folks,” he said. “We were the invaders of privacy, and we had the Secret Service and MI6 on our rolodex.” Extreme CCTV was bought by German firm Bosch in 2007 for $93 million, according to a Globe and Mail report from the time. – Dustin Godfrey
Douglas College unveils first ever coat of arms Douglas College has unveiled its first-ever coat of arms to celebrate the school’s 50th year of operations. The college held a ceremony Tuesday morning at the New Westminster campus to unveil the coat of arms, which officials are touting as the first in Canada to feature “complete artwork rendered by an Indigenous artist.” Carrielynn Victor, a Coast Salish artist, based her artwork on designs from the Canadian Heraldic Authority, the body responsible for creating new coats of arms, flags and other symbols in Canada. The coat of arms includes a shield with a crowned heart, a symbol taken from the Douglas family’s coat of arms, which is supported
by a pair of lions, which the college said was a “nod” to its mascot. Atop the shield sits a raven and a pair of Douglas fir boughs, and below the shield and lions is a globe to represent Douglas College’s global outlook. A banner at the bottom reads “E’yo’l,Te’lmel, Te’mex,” meaning “Excellence, Knowledge, Passion” in h-n8q8-min8-m8 (Halkomelem), a Coast Salish language. “This coat of arms project has been an exploration of blending two traditions with strong principles, and prescribed design elements,” said Victor in a news release. “The resulting coat of arms should stand the test of time, as it carries elements that are true to her-

aldry, and also to Coast Salish design. I was honored to blend my Coast Salish and Scottish heritage together in this one-of-a-kind piece.”
Kathy Denton, Douglas College president, said coats of arms represent a “shared sense of history and tradition.
“But whose history and whose tradition?” Denton said. “Inviting Carrielynn (Victor) to interpret our coat of arms in her own vision is one way Douglas is engaging in the spirit of reconciliation and building a more welcoming campus.” Bruce Patterson, acting chief herald of Canada, said the Canadian Heraldic Authority was “thrilled” to work with an Indigenous artist for Douglas College’s coat of arms. “This is a new way of working for us, and we are grateful to Douglas College for facilitating this project, which could set important precedents for how Canadian heraldry can showcase Indigenous art and symbolism,” Patterson said.
Here’s to the doers of good deeds Animals in Guatemala are getting fed thanks to the efforts of a local woman and her customers. Leona Green, co-owner of Greens and Beans Deli in Sapperton, collected donations so she could buy food for animals in a shelter in Guatemala. All totalled, she raised enough money to buy 181 bags (more than 9,000 pounds) of pet food from a wholesaler in Guatemala. Angela Kerslake, a New Westminster-based lawyer, is a longtime supporter of the Animal Aware Guatemala shelter. In recent years, Green and Lorrie Williams have joined Kerslake in Guatemala for Christmas, where they volunteer at the shelter. NEW WEST MAN KNIGHTED He may not be wearing a suit of armor, but there’s a new knight in town. New Westminster resident Ben Whiting recently received a Knighthood from the Order of St. George, the Canadian Priory. He received this honour for his past military service and volunteer work. “The Order of St George, which is an international order, exists to promote and pursue the timeless traditions of chivalry by compassion and supporting works of charity specific to the men and women in uniform who serve their respective communities and nations,” said a submission to the Record. According to the submission, the Order of St. George has grown to encompass people of many faiths, and maintains its commitments to service and to helping people in need. “The order’s foundation contributes funding in support of wounded or fallen military personnel and their immediate families,” said the submission. “The order also offers its support to programs of Royal Canadian Sea, Army and Air Cadet Corps, and the Junior Rangers, as well as to other charitable organizations.”

Bausback shines on national championship stage NewWest skater emerges as Canada’s senior women’s skating champ , capping a breakout season
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Grace, poise and a steely resolve helped carry Emily Bausback to her finest moment. The New Westminster resident was crowned the 2020 Canadian Tire national senior women’s figure skating champion last week in Mississauga following a powerful performance that saw the teen leapfrog from fourth overall to first on the final day. “It’s taken a few days, but I think it’s definitely sunk in that I won such a big competition,” Bausback told the Record Tuesday. “Now I’m recognized as one of those skaters that are part of a prestigious group as Canadian champions. It’s such a great feeling.”
I just fell in love with the ice. I loved it so much . Bausback’s celebratory moment was due to years of hard work, perseverance, training and faith. That it all was reflected in just 4:10 of ice time Saturday, where she delivered a near-perfect performance in the free skate, was poetic. Coming off a strong skate in the opening day’s short program, where her score of 58.90 placed her fourth, but just 4.7 points back of second-place Madeline Schizas, and 7.2 behind leader Alicia Pineault, was promising. Still, so many things needed to come together to take another step to get to that coveted podium spot. “Ever since the beginning of the season, that’s the one thing we wanted this year – to be top-three in Canada and make it onto the podium at senior nationals,” she said. “The whole year, that was my only goal. My coach Joanne McLeod and I were really striving towards this goal and dreaming about it.” Already having posted the best score for a Canadian woman in the free skate this season – achiev-
ing a personal best of 117.19 (also total score of 172.48) last November at the Warsaw Cup in Poland – Bausback knew it was possible. Then she delivered it. After completing a smooth triple lutz, double toe to start, followed by a double axel triple toe, the Burnaby Central Secondary student had a minor setback when she skated through her program’s triple flip. But she came right back into step with a triple loop, then a spectacular triple salchow, triple toe combo that sparked a large ovation, setting the tone for her final minute. The missed triple flip wasn’t going to keep her from putting on her best skate – another personal best free score of 116.64, which carried her past three other skaters to first place. “She was pretty well spot on, just a triple flip which was her third jump, and she kind of got ahead of herself and that didn’t go,” remarked McLeod, head coach of the Burnaby-based Champs International Skating Centre of B.C. “It’s one she usually has under her belt but she settled down after that. She certainly showed the judging panel that she wanted it, and she was very well prepared.” It was how she carried on after the misstep – with her musical cue Julia Westlin’s cover of the Titanic’s My HeartWill Go On – that won the crowd and judges over. “I was super surprised that I missed my flip – I was in shock in the moment, but I knew I had to keep going,” said Bausback. “I couldn’t change the past. I couldn’t change that – I made that mistake; I just had to keep going and try to perform the program to the best of my ability despite having the small error. “It all leads back to the training. If I wasn’t as well-trained as I am I wouldn’t have been able to bounce back as quickly as I did from that error.” As she sat and absorbed her accomplishment, achieving another personal best on the nation’s biggest stage, Bausback still had to wait for four other skaters to go through their free programs.

It was nerve-wracking but also exciting as each other skater’s marks fell short of her mark, making her the 2020 champion. “When I was sitting in the back watching the skaters on live stream, I saw them sort of making mistakes, the feeling of keeping my first-place position, the excitement and bubbliness sort of kept rising.
As I kept seeing their marks come through and my name was still on top, the excitement was building up inside. It was so crazy.” In some ways, it isn’t so far removed from the three-year-old who fell in love with skating. “I just fell in love with the ice. I loved it so much, and the feeling hasn’t changed,” she recalled.
Inspired by Canadian champions and international stars Joannie Rochette – Olympic medallist and six-time national champion – and three-time national champion and Olympic gold medallist Kaetlyn Osmond, Bausback is now thrilled to have an opportunity to represent Canada again, beginning in Continued on page 26
Hyacks playoff hopes hinge on more consistent effort Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
The on-court inconsistencies are starting to weigh on the New Westminster Hyacks senior boys basketball team. After another patchy weekend of results, the onus is now on the players to make a serious run for the playoffs. “I expect more to come from these kids, because they’ve got the skills,” said head coach Ted Cusick, a veteran of nearly 50 years of coaching high school hoops. “I’ve seen them work in practice, and I know they
care. But I don’t think they realize that for most of them, their high school playing career could be over in a few weeks if we don’t get going.” The latest example of the team’s uneven play came at the Victoria Police Tournament last week, where they went 1-2, dropping a pair of winnable games, the coach said. The tourney started well enough with a 66-49 victory over St. Michaels. Quentin Leberg carted a team-high 19 points and pulled down 11 rebounds, while Kirk Bothwell also registered a double-double, with 10 points and 11 boards. Luke Dixon add-
ed 11 points and seven rebounds, while Caleb Johnson netted 10 points. “We just played OK basketball and we’ve played better.There just was no real spark, and it was a problem in the other games, too,” Cusick said. “We go through the motions.” In their second game, the Hyacks were unable to lock down a lead and fell 64-57 to Brentwood College. Bothwell led the offence with 25 points and 10 boards. Johnson added 12 points, while Leberg was good for nine points and nine rebounds.
On the final day, they were bettered 9473 by 2-A’s No. 4-rated Lambrick Park, as Bothwell, with 15, and Johnson, with 14, topped all shooters. Contributing 12 points were Udhay Mangat and Leberg. The Hyacks were recognized by the tournament committee when selected Most Sportsmanlike. “It’s a consolation prize, but it is something I really push. I want my teams to be the ones that help another player up when they fall down, that don’t talk back or argue with the officials – that’s my job – and don’t get involved in any rough stuff,”said Cusick.

Royals topped by Mariners
So much for going perfect in 2020. The Douglas College men’s volleyball team suffered its first loss of the year – twice, in fact, as the Vancouver Island University Mariners carted off home court wins of 3-0 and 3-1 last weekend. The Royals, who entered the series as the top team in the PacWest, were unable to handle the powerful Mariners on the first day. Although they took the first set on Day 2, 21-25,Vancouver Island swept the next three for the win. Tied with Capilano at 13-4 for top spot, with VIU just a game back, Douglas also was dropped to eighth overall in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association rankings, from No. 2.
Best in Canada Continued from page 25 two weeks at the 4 Continents championships in Seoul, Korea, as well as lock up a spot on the national team. Just as she did in Poland two months ago, Bausback sees the chance to compete for Canada as a wonderful honour. “It was really special. I’ve represented Canada a few other times in past seasons, but representing Canada this season it just felt so special to me, because it felt I really deserved to carry the Canadian flag with me overseas,” she said. “I was super trained going to those events and felt confident that I could do something I hadn’t done before.”
DRIVING FOR THE KEY: New Westminster’s Devin Strome carries the ball for the Douglas College Royals in a recent PacWest women’s basketball game. The Royals led 27-24 at halftime Saturday but were outscored 25-14 in the third quarter, en route to a 57-54 loss to Capilano College. Sydney Fraess led Douglas with 15 points, while Cassandra Brinn netted 14 in the loss. A day earlier, Capilano prevailed 68-55. The Royals hope to garner their first win of 2020 on Saturday, 3 p.m. when they host Okanagan at the New West campus. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
