Police change policy on controversial street checks Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca
The New Westminster Police Department has a new policy in place for street checks, a practice that has long been criticized for perpetuating racial profiling. The Vancouver Police Department was under fire after data released in 2018 showed overrepresentation of black, Indigenous and people of colour targeted by street checks. The data showed 15% of all street checks were of Indigenous people and more than 4% were of
black people. Meanwhile, Indigenous people make up just over 2% of the population in Vancouver and black people less than 1%. As a response, the province introduced B.C.-wide policy on street checks late last year and gave local police forces until Jan. 15 to develop internal policies. The NWPD’s policy was introduced to the police board at last week’s public meeting. Street checks, according to the policy, are voluntary interactions between police and a person “that is more than a casual conversation

and which impedes the person’s movement.” A street check may involve a request for identification. It also acknowledges the instance of psychological detention, in which a person may wrongly believe they are not free to leave without direction from the police officer they are interacting with. But psychological detention does not necessarily mean a person is being detained – if a person is not officially detained, they do not need to provide ID. The policy bars street checks based on “identity factors,” such
as race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation and others; street checks based on a person sharing an identity factor with a person wanted by police; and “arbitrary or random” street checks. Police must also ensure the person is aware they’re free to go at any time, that they don’t need to provide ID and that they don’t need to answer any questions. But the policy also acknowledges that, despite the reminder, people may still feel psychologically detained based on the context of the street check or the officer’s actions. Psychological detention may

also be pervasive for different people, based on age, race, physical stature, homelessness and “level of sophistication,” and if an officer believes a person is psychologically detained, they are directed to end the interaction. An officer may ask the person to voluntarily provide ID, which can be denied without consequence, if the reason relates to a call for service, a missing person, “objectively reasonable” concern for the person’s safety or helping a person in distress. Officers must also file detailed reports following street checks.

City DEVELOPMENT
Changes coming to the Brewery District Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Changes are coming to the Brewery District in Sapperton – but what they’ll look like exactly remains to be seen. Following a public hearing on Monday night, council approved a zoning amendment bylaw (text amendment) and a housing agreement amendment bylaw for sites in the Brewery District. Rupinder Basi, the city’s development planning supervisor, said the amendment would allow changes to the development of the Building 8 site by allowing up to 200,000 square feet of the permitted 300,000 square feet of density to be used for either residential, including strata residential, or a variety of commercial uses.The remaining 100,000 square feet of the permitted floor space would be limited to general and health-related commercial uses. “The overall density for the Building 8 site would not change,” he said. “However, there would be provisions within the zone to allow for an increase in the maximum permitted building height from 195 feet to 320 feet, should a residential component, a tower, be included as part of a future mixed-use development for the site.” In exchange for the text amendment,Wesgroup is proposing to secure 100% of Building 5 as a rental residential building for 60 years, or the life of the building. In addition, 210,000 square feet of the space permitted for residential uses within Building 7 would be converted to secured market rental residential, with the
remaining 50,000 square feet in this building to be used as general and healthrelated commercial space. According to Basi, these changes would amount to an increase of approximately 320 secured market rental units within the Brewery District development. The changes would also ensure a minimum of 150,000 square feet of general and health-related commercial space is retained within Buildings 7 and 8, but it could be more depending on future market conditions. Building 5, located at 228 Nelson’s Cres., is a newly constructed residential building with half of the units being secured market rental. A development permit was recently issued for Building 7 at 268 Nelson’s Crt., which will be the next phase of construction at the Brewery District. Building 8, located at 230 Keary St., is a future development site. The height and massing at Building 8 would depend on the final land-use mix that’s determined for the property, something to be determined at the development permit stage and be dependent on market conditions. No residents spoke at Monday’s public hearing, but one resident wrote a letter “strongly” opposing the proposal and saying his neighbours “gave up” a long time ago because the process is flawed. Some residents have voiced concerns about the potential height and massing of the tower, as well as traffic and parking. “One of the things that we have seen with a recently commissioned traffic report from Bunt and Associates is that there has actually been a reduced amount of vehicle flow in and out, especially
CHANGES BREWING: The Brewery District is set to contuinue growing. PHOTO RECORD FILES based on the rental homes where we are seeing a lot of people SkyTrain or just elect not to have vehicles,” said Fabian Leitner,Wesgroup’s director of development. “We were pleasantly surprised by that trend.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr was the lone council member to oppose the plan, citing concerns about the loss of office space from what was originally contemplated when council approved a master plan for the Brewery District site.With a $1.5-billion expansion taking place across the street at Royal Columbian Hospital, he said the plan was to designate certain amounts of space for office and healthcare services – not residen-
tial. “The money is in residential. I am worried they are going to become residential,” he said. “I think doing this prior to seeing fruition of that huge, biggest hospital expansion in British Columbia history, right here in NewWestminster, I think it is short-sighted. It reverses the vision, which I thought was a really good vision in putting those pieces in place clearly for the future of the future expansion of the hospital.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone believes the “big win” is a quadrupling of the amount of purpose-built rental or secured market rental housing at this location. He said Sapperton is a neighbour-
hood that really could afford to have more rental, especially next to a health-care centre Coun. Nadine Nakagawa said it’s important to put housing near SkyTrain, especially in the context of the climate crisis. She said it makes a lot of sense to provide rental housing near transit and near jobs like those nearby at Royal Columbian Hospital and TransLink. Mayor Jonathan Cote believes what’s been built and what’s being planned to be built at the Brewery District is intact with the city’s original vision of creating a mixed-use neighbourhood that includes retail, residential and office space. He said
the site will contain more rental than was ever conceived, but that’s a positive addition to the neighbourhood. While health-care uses are critically important in the area and are a big part of the city’s economic development strategy, Cote said things have changed since the Brewery District was first proposed. “It was actually envisioned that the hospital expansion might occur on that site and that’s why such a large building right next to the hospital was contemplated in there,” he said. “As things have evolved that is no longer the case.The hospital is now going to be redeveloped strictly on-site.”
Planning underway for Massey ownership transfer Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The City of NewWestminster is getting prepared for its takeover of Massey Theatre. With the city set to take ownership of Massey Theatre in 2020 and its commitment to having the Massey Theatre Society continue to operate the theatre, council has approved the formation of a working group that will advise the city how to devel-
op this partnership. On Monday, council released a resolution from a closed meeting that staff draw up terms of reference for a Massey Theatre working group that will include city staff, council and the Massey Theatre Society. “What this resolution is really about saying is, we know that the transfer of ownership is going to happen likely at some point in the upcoming year, but there are a lot of details in
terms of how the city is going to be working with the Massey Theatre Society and how the theatre is going to be governed under the new ownership,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “We thought now is the appropriate time to start engaging and having those conversations so we don’t run into problems once the city does take over ownership.” The city could have chosen to operate the theatre, but recognized the impor-
tant work done by the society through the decades and felt it was best positioned to continue operating the theatre, Cote said. While it had originally been contemplated that the school district would build a new 1,000-seat theatre in the new high school and demolish MasseyTheatre, the city reached an agreement in principle with the province and the school district in 2016 that would see it assume ownership of the ex-
isting 1,260-seat theatre. As part of that agreement, the existing theatre and the land under the building would be gifted to the city by the school district. Members of the local theatre community were thrilled with the decision to retain the theatre, which is considered by many to be a “cultural gem” and a key venue for the performing arts in NewWestminster. Cote said no specific date has been determined for
the transfer of ownership of Massey Theatre from the school district to the city. The agreement reached between the city, the province and the school board in 2016 stated the Ministry of Education would finance the demolition of the existing Massey gymnasium and reconstruction of the theatre’s exterior wall. The City of NewWestminster’s 2020 to 2024 capital plan includes $16.5-million for the Massey Theatre.

Opinion OUR VIEW
We need new approaches to dispensing drugs
Many New West residents are upset about difficulties in getting prescriptions renewed.While several factors are involved, the principal issue is that many people can’t find a family doctor. That means we need new approaches to the process of prescribing and dispensing drugs. First, extend the maximum prescription duration beyond the present limit of 12 months.This could only be done for medications that are well tolerated and only for patients in sta-
ble health. But there are several drugs that treat chronic conditions, such as statins, asthma inhalers and some anti-hypertensives, which may be taken for years. It should be possible, with minimum risk to the patient, to relax the 12-month limit in such cases. Second, encourage physicians to renew prescriptions by telephone or email. If a patient’s health is declining, or the condition being treated requires ongoing monitoring, an office visit is
essential. It’s up to the family doctor to make this determination. Third, permit pharmacists to extend prescriptions beyond their expiry date. They already have authority to add extra refills before the date of expiration. There’s no reason this policy can’t be broadened, so long as the patient’s physician is notified in advance, in case there are reasons not to proceed. Lastly, allow pharmacists to prescribe drugs on their own authority, within cer-
tain limits. Pharmacists in Alberta are allowed to prescribe most medications, with the exception of “controlled” substances such as narcotics. Two years ago, the B.C. College of Pharmacists examined this option and found overwhelming support among its members. Notably, however, they also encountered “strong resistance” from physicians. And here we come to the heart of the matter. Each of the health-care professions who have a role
in prescribing and dispensing drugs jealously guards its territory.This in itself has been a major barrier. So how do we proceed? First, some of these options will require a change in billing practices. Physicians who issue prescriptions by phone or email should be compensated the same as an office visit. And extending the duration of prescriptions beyond the 12-month expiry point will require a change under the Health Professions Act. The prescribing arrange-
ments currently in place assume a state of affairs that does not exist and will not exist any time soon, namely ready and timely access to a family physician. That being so, the needs of patients should take priority.The present system is entirely provider-centred, designed by providers, overseen by providers and fortified by provider groups, each with its own interests. This has to change via a complete overhaul in which patient needs are put above turf wars.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Taxi industry has only itself to blame
Ride hailing has now set up shop in B.C., and depending on how you look at it, this development is either a tremendous breakthrough or the worst thing to come along in quite a while. The traditional taxi situation has clearly failed riders. It is an antiquated, inefficient and unreliable system hamstrung by an industrywide refusal to modernize and keep its focus on serving customers rather than protecting turf. Stories abound of travellers waiting forever for a taxi to get out ofYVR or people stranded in downtownVancouver late at night, unable to find a taxi home. So when ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft came knocking, the taxi industry was unable to draw on much public support or sympathy to keep these companies at bay. It was perhaps inevitable that the NDP government (it would have made no difference if the BC Liberals were in power) bowed to growing public pressure and gave ride hailing the green light. Make no mistake – ride hailing is not the kind of industry near and dear to the NDP’s political DNA. It desires minimal regulation in an open market and detests unionization. Its typical employee works part-time for low wages, hardly the kind of employment scenario advocated by the NDP. Nevertheless, ride hailing is popular with the travelling public, and that makes it difficult for any government to keep it at bay forever. Still, signs of trouble associ-
ated with ride hailing have emerged in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if they are repeated here. Recent U.S. studies on the impact of ride-hailing services have made some disturbing findings. For example, a study by the Massachusetts public utility found greenhouse gas emissions had spiked an alarming amount due to ride hailing. Ride hailing means more cars on the road that are being driven for longer periods. More vehicles also mean greater congestion on roads. A study in San Francisco found congestion from 2010 to 2016 had increased 62% and attributed half of that increase to a steady rise in ride-hailing operations. Several studies point to less use of public transportation with the increase in ride hailing.That could make it harder to make a proper business model for future, expensive taxpayer investments in transportation. Uber drivers, upset about working conditions and wages, staged one-day strikes several U.S. cities last year. More than 3,000 Uber passengers reported being sexually assaulted last year. As ride hailing takes hold to a greater degree in MetroVancouver, it will be vitally important to collect as much data as possible on its impact in many areas, both positive and negative. Depending on what is found, municipal governments as well as the provincial government may have to step in and drastically change the rules. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Immigrant stages hunger strike The B.C. government agreed to reunite a Polish immigrant with his family after he staged an 11-day hunger strike on the New Westminster City Hall lawn. Zygmunt Korycki launched the strike when the government blocked the immigration of his daughter, who was in Poland and who suffered from a serious kidney problem. Under federal policy, the province was entitled to block her entry because she needed medical treatment, but the government relented in July. Korycki, 34, had left Poland in 1986 and been separated from his family for four years. By the end of his hunger strike he had lost 16 pounds.

Car-free areas make for a better community Editor: Thank you for your coverage this past week on advocacy efforts (by multiple groups and residents) for allocating (or re-allocating) more money towards sustainable transportation and public realm initiatives that council has made. Choosing to publicize these opinions/suggestions will hopefully help to bring these issues to light and help residents understand that utilizing sustainable transportation modes builds stronger, healthier communities. Also, I was happy to see your opinion piece this week on the Pattullo Bridge and agreed with all of your points. HUB has been working with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure project team and both the City of New Westminster and Surrey for well over a year advocating for wider cycling facilities on the new bridge and shorter, more efficient connections on both the Surrey and New Westminster side. We will continue our efforts now that a proponent has been selected. Garey Carlson, co-chair, HUB New Westminster committee
This anti-car council’s plan is ‘nutty’
moving forward with their plan to reallocate 10 per cent of the city streets for non-vehicle uses. The drivel emitting from this anti-car council is dangerous because there are probably citizens believing such nutty plans. The reason for this scheme to reduce road space and inconvenience residents and visitors to the Royal City is because of climate change? What rubbish. This puny community will not fix anything to do with global carbon issues. What is the fear here, a scowl face and a “how dare you?” from Swedish activist Greta Thunberg? United Nations sanctions imposed on the city for not choking the transportation corridors off? The Grand Poobahs in city hall need to look after what is best for the taxpayers of New West, not alleged issues going on with the rest of the planet. These characters will, of course, try to rush these plans through because they want the streets choked off before they are booted out of office. Hopefully this undertaking will be delayed until residents can have an input via the ballot box. I am not optimistic – activist politicians only listen to those who agree with them. Barry Craig, Vancouver Editor’s note: The city’s 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.

HUB presses for cycling, pedestrian changes
Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
HUB Cycling has no shortage of ideas on how to get more people walking and cycling – starting with safer cycling routes to the new high school. Having taken part in the City of New Westminster’s engagement process regarding its proposed 2020 to 2024 capital budget and its seven bold steps to tackle climate change, some members of the local cycling advocacy group have thoughts on where the city should be focusing its energies. Downtown resident Patrick Parkes firmly believes this year’s budget should include funds to build separated bicycle lanes on Sixth Street so students can cycle to the new high school safely separated from car traffic. “I ask city council to do the right thing and ensure that students from all parts of the city will be able to take the responsible choice of cycling to school in safety.This may not be an easy
thing for you to do.You are probably going to have to have parking removed from parts of Sixth Street in order to make this happen, but after all, streets are not storage spaces for private property,” he said. “If you are serious about being bold in response to the climate crisis, sometimes you will actually have to be bold and I urge you to do so.” In 2019, representatives of HUB Cycling appeared before council on several occasions to press for safer and more comfortable cycling access to the new high school by opening day in September 2020. A staff report said an expedited design and engagement process for these connections isn’t contemplated before opening day because of timing related to ongoing school site planning and other priorities that staff are focused on, including the Agnes Greenway and improvements to the Rotary Crosstown Greenway. According to a staff report, the Sixth Street route
would require significant stakeholder engagement, technical analysis and design, and discussion with TransLink to ensure the 106 bus service isn’t compromised. For the next five years, longtime resident Brad Barber said the city should prioritize a complete connected bicycle network so citizens can safely get to school, appointments and shopping, while also reducing pollution. For 2020, he’d like council to direct staff to focus on safer routes to the new high school and on routes from downtown to uptown. Barber said New Westminster has “no signs and no routes” to get safely from downtown to uptown, which affects cyclists, pedestrians and people using mobility scooters and other forms of personal transportation. He said four highcost segments of cycling routes are the priorities in the city’s budget but tackling those projects will leave no money or staff time to
do other improvements – smaller projects that will actually cost less and have a greater impact on safety. “Before you decide to spend $13 million on expensive three-block sections of cycling routes, which we would all love, please consider your own master transportation plan,” he said. “For the last five years your plan has sat on city shelves.” Barber said the master transportation plan promised a completely connected bicycle network, but there still isn’t a single bike route to provide a safer pathway from areas such as Douglas College and Qayqayt Elementary School to the uptown. Sapperton resident Heidi Braacx said the city should support the hierarchy included in the city’s master transportation plan, which emphasizes walking, cycling and public transit, followed by commercial vehicles and cars. “Walking and cycling in New Westminster is of-
ten noisy, smelly, frustrating and, quite honestly, frightening,” she said. Braacx said “an overwhelming majority” of cyclists are men. “Contrast this with cyclists in cities where transportation hierarchy is taken very seriously. In Copenhagen, where 62% of the population chooses cycling to get to work or school, 53% of cyclists are women, who frequently ride in regular street clothes and not often think it necessary to wear a helmet,” she said. “These people do not make these choices because they are activists or risk-takers; they are doing it because it’s more convenient to bike than take the car and they feel completely safe.” Robert Wong said he’d like the city to increase the budget to provide for more mobility lanes, which could be used by low-speed vehicles such as bikes, scooters and ebikes, which are the “trend of the future” and are the “perfect option” for the hills of New Westmin-

Community ENVIRONMENT
Funds sought for climate literacy Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca
The New Westminster school board is pushing for more funding and support from the provincial government for climate literacy. School board voted Tuesday to send a motion to the B.C. School Trustees’ Association’s annual general meeting. The motion calls on the BCSTA to advocate “the provincial government … to provide funding to support climate literacy in all B.C. schools.” The school district notes that climate change is a provincial and global issue, far beyond individual school districts. By that token, it notes the districts shouldn’t be left on their own “overstretched operational budgets” to develop resources and professional development opportunities on climate literacy. “This is an issue that impacts us all, and as such the provincial government should provide the direction and funding necessary
to enable our students and staff to be climate literate,” the district wrote. The district noted the October 2018 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which urged world leaders to limit global warming to 1.5 C – a feat that would only be attainable through “rapid, farreaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society.” “As boards of education, we have been hearing loud and clear from the student population in B.C. and across the globe about the urgency of our climate emergency,” the motion notes. “While there is a proposal coming forward to create climate action working group within the BCSTA, we need to urgently call on government to begin immediately supporting and funding district initiatives toward climate literacy.” The original intent was to send the motion to the BCSTA’s provincial council for a more urgent vote rather than wait for the AGM in
mid-April. By going through the provincial council rather than the AGM,Trustee Danielle Connelly said she’d hoped the BCSTA would be advocating for the funding in time for the budget process.The 2020/21 fiscal year or the province begins on April 1, meaning the budget should be passed by the end of March. But after speaking with BCSTA officials, Connelly said she was advised the motion would likely be more successful at the AGM.Trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal also noted that even by making the call now, it likely wouldn’t make it in time for the budget process, anyway. Trustee Mark Gifford added there may be an upside to waiting for the AGM – that way, the district would be able to engage trustees from around the province on the issue. Trustees voted unanimously in favour of submitting the motion to the BCSTA for its April AGM.

Community New animal shelter celebrates official opening Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster’s new animal shelter is offering spiffy new digs to a variety of animals until they find their forever homes. The shelter has 15 dog kennels and housing for about 20 cats and a few small animals. Like its predecessor, the new shelter is in Queensborough – but that’s where the similarities end. “Comparing the previous facility and the new one is like night and day,” said Aaron Hilgerdenaar, superintendent of animal services. “We are so happy to be able to have much more room for the animals, as well as a bright, welcoming space for the public.We have multiple cat rooms to help them acclimatize to their surroundings upon arrival, recover from surgeries if necessary and meet their adoring public when they’re ready for adoption. Dogs have much larger kennels, larger outside kennel runs and large play yards.We have a dedicated ‘meet and greet’ room where potential adopters can spend time with a pro-
spective new furry family member.” Smaller animals, like rabbits and guinea pigs, finally have their own quiet space away from other species, Hilgerdenaar said. “The previous location was small, outdated and not conducive to behavioral rehabilitation, disease containment and proper housing for the animals we care for,” he said. “It was also located in an area that transitioned from light-industrial to residential. Additionally, the space and the layout of the previous animal shelter was designed for a time when animals did not stay in shelters long-term; therefore, it was not suitable for current best practices for animal welfare.” The new shelter, which opened in November, has been designed with the animals’ wellbeing in mind. “Previously, dog kennels faced each other, which is often stressful for dogs,” Hilgerdenaar said. “The kennels and cages were small, there was no proper isolation area for ill animals, there was not enough separation for different species’ housing and there was

no dedicated space for small animals like rabbits, rats and guinea pigs.” Hilgerdenaar said the former shelter didn’t have much space, if any, for adopters to relax and interact with the animals. He said storage space was almost non-existent, which meant the city often had to turn away donated items because of storage constraints. “The best part of the new shelter is the benefits to the animals.The living spaces are larger, quieter and less stressful,” Hilgerdenaar said. “This floor space growth decreases chances of illness by providing avenues and different areas for infection control; it also increases the chance of an animal being adopted.”
Community members are invited to attend the grand opening of the city’s new $10.32-million animal shelter on Saturday, Feb. 1 from 1 to 3 p.m. at 420 Boyne St. Celebrations begin at 1 p.m., with the official ribbon-cutting taking place at 1:30 p.m. “Join us for an afternoon of fun activities for the whole family including selfguided tours of the new facility, adoption and volunteer information sessions, local pet service exhibitors, children’s activities, crafts and photo booth fun,” Hilgerdenaar said. “Animal services staff will be on site to answer any questions about what we do in the community and our new facility.

The city’s adoption process strives to place animals in well-matched homes to set them up for success and prevent them from becoming homeless again. “Our goal is to ensure that every adopted pet will
receive everything they need for their entire lifetime.This includes safety, mental, physical and emotional wellbeing,” Hilgerdenaar said. Adoption and animal viewing hours at the animal shelter are from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday to Sunday, excluding statutory holidays. “We are so grateful to our community for their support and donations. It warms our hearts to know others share our compassion for animals,” Hilgerdenaar said. “New Westminster residents have shown themselves to be very supportive of the work that we do.”

Community Saint Mary’s Hospital legacy lives on in New West Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The legacy of Saint Mary’s Hospital is alive and well. The Saint Mary’s Health Foundation recently held its annual awards event for grant recipients and dispersed nearly $200,000 in grants to local health-care organizations. “The foundation is a legacy of Saint Mary’s Hospital, the local facility that was closed in 2004,” said foundation chair Rob Stewart
in an email to the Record. “Every fall, the foundation provides financial support to health-care organizations that apply and are most suited to the foundation’s criteria.” Every effort is made to select programs and initiatives that are most compatible with the principles of compassionate care that Saint Mary’s Hospital exemplified, ideally those that support improved patient care, staff morale and competency, Stewart said. This year, the founda-
tion provided more than $188,000 in funding to organizations for a variety of initiatives: Normanna Care Home (Ergonometric bathtub system); Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation (Korebalance machine); Douglas College Foundation (assorted health sciences equipment); Kiwanis Care Foundation of New Westminster (two Carendo electric hygiene chairs); Fraser Orthopaedic Research Society (Dr. David Harder lectureship series); Surrey Memorial Hospital Founda-
tion (paediatric colonoscope system); Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation (nursing home visit bags); City Centre Care Society (partial funding of EMERGE Addiction Recovery Program renovation); L’Arche Greater Vancouver (supports for Healthy Living program); Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation (stretchers in the new Resuscitation Rooms in the acute zone of the ER); Columbus Residence (two specialty Pressureguard mattresses and control pumps); Burnaby Hospital
Foundation (partial funding of C-MAC video laryngoscopy machine to assist the elderly); and Canuck Place Children’s Hospice (supporting the enhanced community care program). In addition, the Saint Mary’s Health Foundation provides financial support, in memory of Florence L. Cotton, for further education of nursing or

When Eleanor Kendall scratched her way to a Set for Life top prize of $675,000, she knew she wanted to use the money to give back.The New Westminster resident plans to put some of the money into her family’s endowment
fund at a Lower Mainland university. “My husband and I are big supporters of programs that encourage women to go into the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and early childhood development,” she said in a press release. “We already have an endowment in our name, so we will use some of the
money to top it up.” Kendall was at home and about to do the laundry when she decided to scratch the Set for Life ticket that she purchased at the SaveOn-Foods in Royal City Centre. “I had to count it a few times to make sure I really won,” she said. Along with supporting her family’s endowment
fund, Kendall is looking forward to using the winnings to help her own family. “I firmly believe we all need some help sometimes,” she said. “No one helped me but we have to help the kids – they are the future.” According to the BC Lottery Corporation, Set for Life players redeemed more than $10.5 million in prizewinning tickets in 2019.

Inspiration Day returns to New West in February Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Health, wellness and laughter are part of this Inspiration Day fun in New Westminster. Inspiration Day returns to Century House on Saturday, Feb. 22 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Dr. Davidicus Wong returns to share his inspirational take on life. A new addition to this year’s lineup is a presentation by registered dietician and certified wellness coach Jess Pirnak, who will talk about mindful eating. “Specifically, we’ll be discussing tips to slow down your eating for proper digestion and to learn to stop eating when you are 80% full,” Pirnak said. “Mindful eating is just one of the tips to help slow down our eating, so if anyone out there
has never done a mindful eating exercise they should definitely attend.” Janice Bannister, owner of Laughter Zone 101, is once again bringing a troupe of her comics to Inspiration Day. “This is great group ranging in age from 60 to a possible 80 year old, but she won’t divulge her age,” Bannister said in an email to the Record. “One of the comics has just recently retired, another has worked the comedy scene for years and will share her ‘this is what I’m doing with my PhD’ stories.” Performing at Inspiration Day is perfect for these folks, Bannister says, as a lot of older comics don’t want to do the nightclub circuit because shows are late at night and the atmosphere is very competitive for stage
time. “The great part of doing comedy for the 55+ generation – they have so many stories.Their inspiration comes from their families and other real-life situations,” she said. “A lot of them are naturally funny and just want to share the laughs with others. Some got into stand-up comedy to check off a new skill on their bucket list. All of the Inspiration Day comics have a positive aging message, but they will make you laugh about the weird side of aging.” Bannister, a former psychiatric nurse and an admitted “brain nerd,” teaches a brain fitness course at Simon Fraser University.The New West resident said seniors are doing so many artsy things now, including stand-up comedy, bur-

lesque, drag, storytelling, improv, theatre and ballet, and she believes community centres and programming need to reflect the diversity of what seniors want to learn. “The latest research shows how important new
activities are for brain fitness,” she said. “Also, the brain doesn’t stop learning, you just have to give it new skills to work on. So if you have always been a dancer, now is the time to try singing or painting or really shake it up and try stand-
up comedy.Your brain will benefit.” Inspiration Day tickets are $10 and available at Century House, 620 Eighth St. A limited number of tickets are available. For more information, call 604-519-1066.

Business Make your own jewelry in time for Valentine’s Day Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A local business is hosting a make-your-own jewelry event just in time for Valentine’s Day. One Thing in River Market is hosting another one of its popular make-your own jewelry events on Saturday, Feb. 8.The shop sells jewelry featuring lockets containing personalized messages. “We had a lot of fun last time we did this event, and it was a fantastic turnout,” said owner Setareh Bateni in an email to the Record. “Customers really enjoyed the ability to make something with someone they loved for them. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we want to help spread love in a similar way because people loved creating with family so much.” Folks are invited to learn how to make locket bracelets or necklaces at the event. Instruction is free, so people will only pay for the parts they take home. “Prices start as low as $5 and go up to $50 depending on what they use,” Bateni said. “A typical Swarovski crystal bracelet of ours is $22, as a reference. But usually when people sit at our table to just make something not that fancy, they spend about $10.” One Thing will have some special Valentine’s beads available for the event. “We’re serving free Valentine’s cookies and tea all day on Feb. 8 and asking people to come out with a loved one to get creative and learn to make jewelry together,” Bateni said. To reserve a spot at the Valentine’s make-your-own jewelry event, call 604-7807562.

Q A
I am selling my home this spring. What advice will you give me regarding the existing knob and tube wiring I know is hiding in our home?
Disclose, disclose, disclose. Knob and tube wiring, along with asbestos and oil tanks DERRICK THORNHILL are the three most common Park Georgia Realty deal killers when selling an older home. However, handled by a seasoned Realtor with extend experience with older houses, they can all be overcome. Remember, surprises kill deals.Your potential buyer can come to terms with almost any aspect of your homes condition, if not asked to do so at the eleventh hour. Disclosing any deficiencies your home may have on your ‘Property Disclosure Statement’ when you list your home, will ensure your potential buyer is aware any potential challenges before they even written an offer. More importantly, it gives them time to come to terms with those deficiencies before having to remove subjects.

Q A
When is my pet a senior? What signs should I be watching for?
Depending on the size and breed of your pet, senior wellness testing is DR. MANJU ARORA recommended starting at 7 or 8 years of age. Senior pets should have a wellness examination and labwork every 6 months as dogs and cats age much more quickly than we do. Wellness testing allows us to detect problems early and gives us a baseline for each individual pet.Your senior dog or cat should be checked by a veterinarian if you notice any of the following changes: • Increased or decreased appetite or drinking • Increased urinating • Behaviour Changes (for example cats who are usually affectionate may seek more time alone if not feeling well or vice versa) • Stool changes (soft or liquid stool or less than one bowel movement a day) • Difficulty running, jumping or stiffness

Q A
This question has been coming up more often as QUINN WADDINGTON people begin to realize how high the imbedded fees in mutual funds are, often up to 2.5% or higher. There are many cheaper options which is why I generally avoid mutual funds for my clients. One option is to use Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to manage a diverse and tactical portfolio that can take advantage of different global opportunities for much lower costs than mutual funds. The average savings of our new clients has been roughly 1%, which over a 30+ year investment horizon adds up to a substantial amount of extra money staying in your pocket.

What is respite care?
Many people receiving home and community care services are assisted by friends and/ or family members. Respite services can give family/friend WENDY J SCOTT caregivers temporary relief from the RN, BScN, MA emotional and physical demands of caring for a friend or family member, and provide an opportunity to participate in community activities. Respite services may be provided at home through home support services, in community through adult day services, or on a short-term basis in a residential care facility, hospice or other community care setting. Respite services are suitable if your family member or friend caring for you could benefit from a break from their caregiving responsibilities.

With egos, insecurities and tempers flaring backstage – not to mention forgotten lines, missed cues and misplaced sardines onstage – the cast threatens to strike the old adage “the show must go on.” Winton appears as the has-been actress Dotty Otley, who plays a Cockney maid in the play-within-theplay, Nothing’s On. She follows in the footsteps of a number of comedic Broadway luminaries who have played the role before her – Dorothy Loudon, Carol Burnett and Patti LuPone among them.

Comedy nights come to Begbie’s Love comedy?You’re in the right city. Judge Begbie’s Tavern is starting a new weekly comedy show every Thursday night. It launched last week and will feature different formats each week, including stand-up, musical numbers, improv and more. Begbie’s Comedy Night is produced by Laugh Wild Comedy, a production company owned by New Westminster’s Nina Dosdall. Dosdall (who performs under the name Nina Wilder) is bringing in Vancouver’s up-and-coming comedians to create more opportunities for local amateur talent, while providing affordable entertainment to the com-

munity. On Thursday, Jan. 23, Begbie’s Comedy Night opens with Off Grrrid, a stand-up comedy show where all the comics are female, femme or non-binary. “The comedy scene is still overly representative of men, and not everyone can relate, so this is a show to celebrate different voices that don’t get as much stage time and relate to a broader audience,” Dosdall said in a press release. She was inspired by Fox Hole Comedy, a long-running show in Vancouver (recently renamed to New Moon Comedy) that’s produced by Jackie Hoffart. Hoffart was recently men-
tioned in The Tyee for the show’s efforts to represent women, non-binary, people of colour and queer standups. In New West, Off Grrrid will be produced once a month as part of the regular show schedule. Judge Begbie’s Tavern is at 609 Columbia St. Begbie’s Comedy Night will run every Thursday at 8 p.m.Tickets are $10 regular, or $5 for students, available online through www. eventbrite.ca (search for Begbie’s Comedy Night) or at the door.

Arts & Entertainment Enjoy a return of farcical fun with Vagabond Players’ Drinking Habits 2 Vagabond Players are getting ready to make audiences laugh with their first production of 2020. Drinking Habits 2: Caught in the Act is coming to the stage at Bernie Legge Theatre from Feb. 6 to 29. It’s a sequel to Drinking Habits, a hilarious farce that was popular with Vagabond audiences two seasons ago. In this followup, the Sisters of Perpetual Sewing miss the excitement of the old days when they were saving convents and reuniting long-lost families, so when they learn that the orphanage where Paul and Kate grew up is in peril, they can’t wait to come to the rescue. Everyone
pitches in to mount a play to raise money, but it’s no easy feat when Kate’s expecting any day. Sally’s hiding from stage-fright-stricken Paul after another flight from the altar, Mother Superior’s acting is unexpectedly narcoleptic, and the sisters’ award-winning wine keeps getting switched with the grape juice. Halia Hirniak returns to repeat her role of the teetotalling Mother Superior.Vagabond veteran Pat McDermott plays opposite her as Father Chenille. The wine-making sisters, Philomena and Augusta, are played by Helen Volkow and Jennifer Kennedy, the latter also repeating her role

Four straight wins bolster Hyacks’ hoops hopes
Senior boys team wraps up tourney schedule with two consecutive wins, needs to keep it going in league play Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
They’ve got a bit of momentum going, so now it’s up to the New Westminster Hyacks senior boys basketball team to put it to use. The Hyacks enter the last
stretch of the regular season on the strength of four wins – two in last week’s Midtown Showdown tournament in Vancouver, and a pair of league victories, including Tuesday’s 93-72 over Burnaby Mountain. While the calibre of opponent
wasn’t the toughest, New West coach Ted Cusick feels getting some wins strung together before the Burnaby-New West league playoffs begin in two weeks. “You get some wins under your belt and it just seems so much easier,” said Cusick.
At 4-1 in league action, the Hyacks still have yet to face undefeated rivals Burnaby South (who they visit on Monday) and Byrne Creek (Feb. 5). They topped Burnaby Mountain with a well-rounded effort, led by Kirk Bothwell’s 25-point
performance. Caleb Johnson and Udhay Mangat each counted 15 points in support. A day earlier, they doused Alpha 103-57, with Luke Dixon racking up 20 points and seven rebounds, and Troy Kim knocking Continued on page 30

Advancing to junior national curling playoff round a great first step, coach says Mario Bartel
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Hayato Sato’s Royal City Curling Club team finished eighth at the Canadian junior men’s curling championship that wrapped up in Langley on Sunday. But that doesn’t mean it failed. In fact, said the team’s coach, Bryan Miki, the young curlers – skip Sato, second Joshua Miki, third Matthew McCrady and lead Jacob Umbach – succeeded in their goal to reach the championship round of their first national championship as juniors. How much further they’ll go
in the future will depend on the lessons they learned at the weeklong event at the George Preston recreation centre. Primary among those was getting through a week of high-level competition and all the distractions that can come with a national event, said Miki, himself a former world champion. “There are many internal and external variables to deal with. It’s easy to get caught up.” After opening the 10-team event with three straight victories in pool play, Miki’s charges faltered in the next three games and had to defeat the second team representing British Columbia in a special tie-breaker to
reach the championship round. Sato’s side did just that, beating Johnson Tao’s Richmond rink 7-3, reprising the result that had given them the B.C. title in Victoria a few weeks ago. In championship play, Sato again started strong, topping Nova Scotia 6-5, but then lost three in a row to finish with a 4-6 record. Miki said the chance to compete against the top under-21 curlers from across Canada has given the team a measuring stick to determine where they need to improve to get to the top spot. “What are the top junior teams doing right that we can use for ourselves?”
Miki added those lessons also apply to himself and co-coach Brent Pierce. “We have questions to ask ourselves from a bigger picture,” he said. “Did we do everything possible to support the team?” And while the end result at nationals may not have played out quite the way the team would have liked, Miki said the team’s determination to succeed remains undiminished. “It was big for us,” the coach said of the experience. Tao’s team, which included second Connor Kent from Port Moody, finished atop the seeding pool with five wins and four losses.
As big an event as draft day usually is, it’s something all together different this year for New Westminster Salmonbellies’ general manager Ray Porcellato. At his first draft as a rookie GM in the Western Lacrosse Association, Porcellato is checking his list with his scouts, coaches and assistant GM John Richardson. He also has a firm target of competing now and is not putting the upcoming season on a lay-away plan. Then there’s this year’s draft, which introduces a territorial protection for each team. A player who has resided in the team’s community for at least the past 36 months could be plucked out of the draft. Teams can chose not to protect a local player and would be compensated with a draft pick that would occur before the originally scheduled draft begins. So every team will be able to add a topseven talent if they have done their homework. “This is a pretty deep draft this year, and with the protection pick, it means a whole different kind of scenario,” said Porcellato. “It’s kind of exciting.” New West, which didn’t have its firstround pick due to a long-ago trade, will have some skin in the game thanks to the option of either protecting a local talent or a compensatory pick. Teams must submit their decision – a local protected graduating player or none selected – by Feb. 1. As he scans his roster, Porcellato is pleased with the offensive depth, thanks to the sticks of Mitch Jones, Keegan Bal, Logan Schuss, Jordan McBride, Anthony Malcom and possible returns of Kevin Crowley and Joel McCready. The re-commitments of the latter two would be a major plus in the team’s goal of challenging for a WLA playoff title, noted the GM. Crowley played four regular season games and three playoff games last year, tallying 11 goals in the process. McCready sat out last season due to knee surgery, but has resumed his Continued on page 30

Hyacks start timely streak Continued from page 29 down 13 points and seven boards. The Midtown tourney started with a tough 90-87 loss to Point Grey. Leading by 10 points in the third quarter, New West saw it slip away after five of their nine players fouled out, putting them at four-on-five for nearly two minutes at the end. An injury made it three-on-five for more than 40 seconds, as Point Grey turned the score around but was still unable to run away with it. A last-second three-point attempt nearly dropped to tie the game. “It was the most weird experience I’ve ever had,” recalled Cusick. “You couldn’t
say it was bad officiating, but they just had no feel for the game.” Bothwell scored 20 points and added 10 boards before fouling out. Leberg tallied 14 points and 14 rebounds before also leaving the game. Cashing in for 14 points was Kevin Guillermo, while Dixon chipped in 13. New West rebounded to top 2-A Templeton 94-58, with Bothwell putting up 30 points and seven boards, and Mangat scoring 28 points and seven rebounds. A day later, they triumphed 105-69 over Van Tech, with Bothwell hitting a tourneyhigh 44 points.

New West mulls draft options Continued from page 29 National Lacrosse League career, counting three goals over three games with the Vancouver Warriors. Crowley, meanwhile, leads the NLL in scoring as a member of the Philadelphia Wings. On defence, the ’Bellies will need to replace the sizeable hole left with the oneyear work-related sabbatical taken by first-year firefighter Brett Mydske. A 2019 WLA second team all-star, the 31-year-old has been a stabilizing force on the back end, as well as a team leader. “You can’t just straightup fill in for a player like (Mydske). He’s a six-footfive all-star, so we need to make sure we address part
of that,” said Porcellato. Among the talent graduating from the junior ranks this year are Coquitlam juniors Dennon Armstrong, Reid Bowering and Philip Buque – the younger brother of New West goalie Alexis – and Victoria’s Zach Manns, junior Salmonbellie Tre Leclaire (but a Delta native, so not protection eligible), Langley’s Ryan Martel and Nathaniel Kozevnikov. This year’s proceedings could see a shift in the balance of power in the league, as both Coquitlam and Langley account for 11 of the first 21 picks, and have already been accumulating early draft picks in years prior. Maple Ridge and Victoria, meanwhile, combine
for just one pick in the three rounds following the compensatory round. Due to a series of past trades, the ’Bellies won’t select again until 19th overall. Porcellato said he continues to work aggressively at bolstering the roster for a long 2020 season. “I think we’re ready to win and maybe only a couple of significant pieces from being with (three-times defending Mann Cup champion) Peterborough,” he added. “I’m excited, definitely. We’re making calls and talking with players who can make us a stronger team.” The WLA draft is Feb. 6 at the Langley Events Centre, and will be broadcast online at www.wlalacrosse. com.
