Rezoning is ﬁnal hurdle for this arcade Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Capital City Classic Arcade is hoping to clear the final hurdle in its quest for a permanent home in New West. Brad and Maryanne Eyers first approached city hall four years ago about their hopes of opening a classic video arcade in New Westminster. After a series of hurdles, they were finally able to open Capital City Arcade in Sapperton on July 4, 2019 – but only temporarily under a temporary use permit. Now, they’re in the midst of a process to rezone the property at 457 East Columbia St., so they can permanently operate an arcade at the site. In addition, they are seeking support from the city and the province for a liquor primary licence so they can serve beer and wine. Council recently received a report about the proposed rezoning, which would allow the applicant to operate an arcade without restrictions on the number of machines, hours of operation, game content, liquor licensing and type of admission. Amusement arcades became restricted in New Westminster in 1999, as a result of a regional trend initiated in response to complaints about noise, hours of operation and disrespectful or unlawful behaviour, said a staff report to the city’s land use and planning committee. Since Capital City Classic Arcade opened in Sapperton last summer, it’s had no issues and has been well received by the local community, said Brad Eyers. “Zero issues,” he said.

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY: Brad and Maryanne Eyers have set up their machines in Sapperton. “Zero complaints to the city, zero complaints to the police department, zero complaints to us.” When the rezoning application was considered at the land use and planning committee, Eyers said committee members supported removal of all of the restrictions except for the type of games the arcade could have. Ultimately the committee agreed all games could be permitted, as long as they didn’t contain pornographic materials. “We didn’t want them to have strictly different rules

here in New Westminster than the new ones in Surrey or Burnaby or Vancouver. We wanted them to be able to compete,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, one of three council members on the committee. “We did talk about not wanting any pornographic or sexual games.” In addition to the rezoning, the applicant is also applying for a liquor primary licence so it can serve alcohol in the games area and a family-friendly endorsement so that minors can remain at the arcade until 10 p.m.

Capital City Classic Arcade has always envisioned being an arcade, not a bar, Eyers said, but alcohol service has been the Number 1 request from customers so far. “We didn’t blink about that fact,” Puchmayr said. “We feel that it’s a modern time. Drinking isn’t what it used to be. People are more moderate with exposure to alcohol, especially with family places where people are bringing their kids. Plus, they are playing games.” As part of the rezoning and liquor primary licence process, the applicants are

“This has been four years now,” he said of his plan to open the arcade. “I have a friend that opened one up in Alberta in October or November. From concept to being open with alcohol was four months and a $400 business licence. I am going on four years, and just the alcohol alone and the bylaw changes is going to be $20,000 out of my pocket. It’s like they don’t want businesses opening up in the Lower Mainland. It’s mind-blowing to me. I just don’t understand it.”

Horgan says new Pattullo won’t be tolled

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Work on a $1.4-billion replacement for the aging Pattullo Bridge will get underway this year. Premier John Horgan and provincial officials gathered atWestminster Pier Park on Monday afternoon to announce the province had awarded a construction contract to Fraser Crossing Partners. “We expect construction to begin this season, that being spring/summer,” Horgan said. “Just in speaking with the partners, they want to get going right away. There are windows when it comes to salmon, for work above the river.There is work on either side of the approaches that can begin almost immediately.That is up to the partners.” The new bridge will have pedestrian and cyclist lanes that are separated from traffic. It will have four wider travel lanes for vehicles, with the potential to expand to six lanes in the future if required. “Thousands of people, in fact 68,000 commuters, use this bridge behind us every single day,” Horgan said. “They are not using Kramer-sized lanes from Seinfeld, they are using lanes from the 1920s.” The replacement for the aging Pattullo Bridge has been in the works for years. When a six-lane bridge was being contemplated in 2014, members of city council visited other Lower

Mainland councils to garner support for a four-lane design. “Safer, easier, toll-free commutes is what our government is dedicated to,” Horgan said. “Dedicated walking and cycling lanes will be an integral part of this bridge, and overall better connections within the Lower Mainland.” In January, the Surrey Board of Trade released a report indicating the majority of its members who responded to a survey want a six-lane bridge on opening day. Horgan said “a fourlane bridge with four real lanes” is an appropriate way to start, but the bridge has the capacity to expand to six lanes, or five lanes with counterflow, in the future. He said it was “paramount” to consider the wishes of the community in order to get buy-in for the project. NewWestminster MLA Judy Darcy said the construction of a replacement for the Pattullo Bridge is “great news” for the entire Lower Mainland, but especially NewWestminster. She said the wider lanes will make travel much safer. “It’s scary – every single time,” she said about driving over the current Pattullo Bridge. “If there is a truck, of course, it takes up the entire two lanes. As you are coming down the bridge, even the turns when you are coming off it – it is dangerous. Everybody knows it’s dangerous.” Darcy said the bridge-re-

ince’s Community Benefits Agreements, which prioritizes hiring local workers, including Indigenous peoples, women, people with disabilities and under-represented groups who are qualified to do the work. “We are very excited about that,” Horgan said. “Safer, easier commutes for people in the region is a high priority, but making sure that that safer, easier commute is built by lo-

cal people, training the next generation of workers, is fundamental to this project.” Claire Trevena, minister of transportation and infrastructure, said the Pattullo Bridge is a crucial piece of infrastructure for the Lower Mainland and for the provincial trade network. “The new bridge will have wider lanes, allowing for trucks and vehicles to share the road in a much safer way. It will be

a welcome break from the tight squeeze that is already there,” she said. Trevena said the bridge is being built within an area of “tremendous importance” to Indigenous groups and the province is committed to working together in the next phase of this project. She said every worker on the project will complete Indigenous culture training, as reconciliation is at the heart of the province’s work.

New West eyes changes to bylaw covering election signs Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Election signs in commercial buildings and cars could be banned if changes to the city’s sign bylaw are approved. Council recently directed staff to bring forward a bylaw that will amend the city’s sign bylaw, which would apply to election signs for federal, provincial and local elections.The city is proposing changes to the use of car signs and window signs and reductions to the size of lawn signs. The current bylaw states election signs shall not exceed three square metres in size. It’s being proposed

election signs could have up to two sides and have an area no greater than 0.61 metres by 0.61 metres (two feet by two feet) on each side. “Staff would like to also address window signs,” said a staff report. “An excess of signs in windows can create a safety issue for workers inside the building or office and also prevent people from seeing inside the premises.” It’s proposed that window signs be allowed as long as the total area of the signs (including all copy, logos, graphics, images and decorative borders) not exceed 20% of the area of the window and glazed areas of

doors along street frontages of a building or business unit. “The sign bylaw only addresses commercial windows,” said city clerk Jacque Killawee. “If it is your home, you can put whatever you want in your window. It’s just for commercial properties.That is the intent of that.” Car signs could be a nono in future election campaigns in NewWest. “Signs on vehicles can be a distraction to drivers, pedestrians and street users in general,” said a staff report. “As well, Elections BC prohibits election signs within 100 metres of a voting place during voting. A vehicle with

an election sign on it may inadvertently be parked or driven to within 100 metres of a voting place and therefore be in violation of the Elections BC requirement. Monitoring this is time-consuming and would require extra staff to patrol the area around voting places so that vehicles can be removed by their drivers, or the signs covered up.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr supports sending the proposed sign bylaw amendments out to public consultation but has concerns. He said the odd candidate may put a sign on their vehicle during an election, but it’s not really an issue. “I don’t support the con-

cern about safety,” he said. “We have signs on our buses.We sell advertising on our buses.We have signs on the side of trucks. I don’t think because there is advertising there that it’s distracting. I think that piece is a little bit overreaching.” Car wraps featuring election-related signage would also be covered by the ban. Puchmayr also expressed concern about the proposal to require the height of the sign above the ground not to exceed 1.1 metres (3.5 feet), saying it could be problematic for homeowners whose homes have hedges. “They still want a sign. They still want to tell their

neighbours this is who they support,” he said. “They would definitely have to exceed that three-and-a-halffeet piece in order to do that.” On the topic of sustainability, a staff report stated many election signs are reused year after year but eventually need to be disposed of if they’re too damaged or the candidates don’t seek re-election. “Depending on what the signs are made of, they may or may not be recyclable,” said the report. “Reducing the size of signs will likely result in less waste going to the landfill or requiring recycling.”

City INFORMATION

FOIs about ﬁre department top list Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Inquiring minds want to know what’s happening in the City of New Westminster. A recent staff report about requests to the city under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act showed the city received 86 requests for information in 2019.That was one less than the 87 requests made in 2018. Like 2018, New Westminster Fire and Rescue Service was the department that generated the most requests for information in 2019. It was tops with 24 requests for information (down from 27 the year before). Requests for information

ing department came in second at 19, a jump from 12 requests in 2018. Departments trailing behind in requests for information were: engineering and engineering operations – 14; building permits and inspections – 12; parks and recreation and finance departments – each with 22; human resources – eight; planning – seven; animal services and legislative services – each with six; information technology and the mayor’s office – each with four; and administration – three. Of the 86 requests for information made in 2019, 39 were from members of the public. Law firms accounted for 24 requests, followed by the media – 10, compa-

four, unions – two, and insurance adjusters – two. According to a staff report, as a result of the inquiries made in 2019, 4,372 pages were released.That’s a drop from the 4,475 pages of information released in 2018. “Only eight requests were responded to with paper documents over the last two years,” said the report. “In all cases, staff met the legislated timelines for responding to requests which is 30 business days (unless further consultations, allowable extension or fees were required).” The staff report states the city has spent the last two years focusing on making FOI requests as streamlined

Opinion OUR VIEW

Changes needed to our criminal justice system

We’ll begin with a quote from Dr. Ivan Zinger. He happens to be the Correctional Investigator of Canada, which is a fancy name for a guy who oversees what’s going on in the country’s prisons. The news, as expected, is not good for Indigenous people. “Four years ago, my office reported that persons of Indigenous ancestry had reached 25% of the total inmate population,” Zinger said in a news release. “Today, sadly, I am report-

ing that the proportion of Indigenous people behind bars has now surpassed 30%.” It’s 30.04%, to be precise, which is a significant number when matched up with the fact Indigenous people account for 5% of the Canadian population. Some other facts: ! Indigenous offenders serve a higher proportion of their sentences before granted parole than non-Indigenous inmates. ! Indigenous inmates are overrepresented in use of

force and “self-injurious incidents” and are more likely to be placed and held longer in solitary confinement. ! A recent national recidivism study showed Indigenous people reoffend or are returned to custody at much higher levels, as high as 70% for Indigenous men in the Prairie region. So, what can be done about this? Zinger says the Correctional Service of Canada has a significant role to play, despite the agency having long said it is at the back

end of the criminal justice system and has no control or jurisdiction over the “upstream” factors that drive incarceration. Those factors include colonization, trauma, racism, poverty, abuse, mental health issues and a disconnection from family and culture. Zinger’s office has some recommendations: ! Transfer resources and responsibility to Indigenous groups and communities for the care, custody and supervision of Indigenous of-

fenders. ! Appoint a deputy commissioner for Indigenous corrections. ! Increase access to culturally relevant correctional programming. ! Clarify and enhance the role of Indigenous elders. ! Improve engagement with Indigenous communities and enhance their capacity to provide reintegration services. ! Enhance access to screening, diagnosis and treatment of Indigenous offenders affected by fetal al-

cohol spectrum disorder. ! Develop assessment and classification tools responsive to the needs and realities of Indigenous people caught up in the criminal justice system. Zinger pointed out similar urgent calls to action were raised in the final reports of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. It’s time somebody started taking action on this. –Vancouver Courier

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Greens in tough without Weaver

When the B.C. legislature resumed sitting this week, there was a minor alignment in the assembly’s seating plan. This carries with it potentially major implications. Former Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver’s desk is being moved to a different location away from his former Green MLA colleagues, Adam Olsen and Sonia Furstenau. Weaver will now sit as an independent MLA. He will not attend the spring legislative session that often, as his top priority is dealing with a serious illness that has befallen a member of his family. Weaver tells me he will be there during any vote of confidence facing the NDP government.There is usually only one or two a year – the main budget bill, and perhaps the Throne Speech if it is put to a vote. However, his shift to independent status is more a problem for the BC Greens. Weaver is a genuine historical B.C. political figure and the party owes its very existence in the legislature to his legacy. Weaver’s breakthrough as a winning Green Party candidate in the 2013 election put the party on the map and bestowed a legitimacy that was lacking before his victory. His departure from the caucus – he is keeping his party membership card for now – robs it of its strongest asset. Weaver previously announced he won’t seek reelection in the 2021 election, which will likely mean the Greens will be consid-

ered an underdog in his riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head. Until Weaver took the seat in 2013, it had been a BC Liberal stronghold for more than a dozen years and an NDP seat for a dozen years before that. It will be interesting to watch how the two remaining Green MLAs interact with the NDP government. Since they agreed to a power arrangement that allowed the NDP to form government in the aftermath of the 2017 election,Weaver and Premier John Horgan have developed a strong personal relationship. I doubt Horgan is appreciative of Olsen’s public backing of a few hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en First Nations, who are leading an attempt to kill or reroute a natural gas pipeline through their traditional territory (even though their nation’s elected council supports it). Olsen has flown north to meet with them and then declared his support of their efforts. Horgan and the NDP strongly back construction of that pipeline (as does every First Nation along the pipeline route). While there is no suggestion the Greens will withdraw their support from the NDP government, it appears that party is headed towards a more activist path, one not championed by former leader Weaver. However, he is sitting somewhere else in the legislature chamber now. And the Greens are the poorer for it. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Skelly elected NDP leader After a long, drawn-out leadership race, a Royal City native took the helm of the BC NDP. In a close contest that took five ballots, New West-raised Bob Skelly edged out early favourite David Vickers. At age 41, Skelly was hailed as a leader who would appeal to alienated youth in the party with a focus on the environment, women and human rights. Mayor Tom Baker called Skelly a “fine young man who will bring new ideas to the people of British Columbia.” In the 1986 provincial election, however, Skelly failed to unseat the Social Credit Party under its new leader, Bill Vander Zalm.

City’s engagement on recycling was laughable Editor: The recent efforts by the City of New Westminster to get public input and get engagement at the recycling depot recently was laughable and so disappointing. There was no engagement and only an online survey to fill out. Anyone with a sales and marketing background will (say) you can easily structure a survey to get the answers you want. None of our councillors were present when I was at the recycle centre, but I did complete the survey. The questions were all structured around what items were causing you the most issues, and my favourite was what tips can you share with your neighbours on recycling. I view this survey as a very weak attempt to appease the public so city council can say they got community feedback. Where are the really tough questions from city council, such as: Do you feel the City of New Westminster needs to maintain a complete recycle centre for our citizens? Are you in favour of shutting down the New West recycle centre and having no facility in New West? Are you in favour of increasing your carbon footprint when driving to the new centre in Coquitlam? We recently visited a wonderful recycling centre in Gibsons, B.C., with a population under 10,000. I shake my head when thinking that New West, with a population of over 70,000, will soon be without our recycle centre.

Council, please wake up and reconsider – it is never too late to say you have made a mistake and really listen to your citizens and change your direction. Brad Clarke, New Westminster

City spending too much money on greenway Editor: The city plans to spend $5 million on the Rotary Crosstown Greenway protected bike lanes between Fifth and Seventh streets in the next four years. For three blocks? A resident in our building took it upon himself to count the bicycles using these lanes and counted 30. This was in the summertime and in good weather. Surely there are more urgent needs in the city for $5 million. Some days almost as many use the street as use the bike lanes. If the city insists on having these lanes, did they look at some European cities that have lanes in the middle of the street where they can be easily seen, plus making easier visibility for cars exiting their driveways? I favour helping the environment but think we must include common sense. New Westminster has all these seniors who are past using bicycles, mothers pushing strollers, and (people with disabilities). Keep these in mind when you make your plans. Laura Simpson, New Westminster

Community Hearing needed for future school site Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A public process would be required before a Sapperton site ever becomes home to a new school. As part of its long-range planning to address projected enrolment growth on the east side of the city, the New Westminster School District purchased a .438-acre single-family lot for $1.75 million last spring.The site at 522 Fader St. is located across from Hume Park Elementary and is contemplated as a future home for a middle school. City council recently considered an official community plan amendment bylaw that included a number of components, including designating 522 Fader St. as major institutional in the OCP, rather than its existing designation of residen-

tial detached and semi-detached housing. “When you look at that notice, I think the implications of it for the neighbourhood aren’t really well explained,” said area resident Rnold Smith, who appeared at Monday’s public hearing on behalf of his neighbours. “When we all met as a group to talk about it, it seemed hard to imagine what does this is actually mean. Is it happening now? Are they rezoning this? Is this just a notice for us to know about it? It seems like there is a really great opportunity in terms of public engagement to use more plain language.” On Jan. 14, council directed staff to consider ways the city can be a more welcoming and inclusive place for all citizens. Making council agendas easier to read is one of the ideas be-

ing explored. Lynn Roxburgh, a senior planner with the city, said the new designation for 522 Fader St. is a housekeeping change in the official community plan. “All of the properties that the school district owns in the city are designated major-institutional, indicating that one day in the future there will be a school likely in that location.There will have to be further consultation and further process to change the zoning,” she said. “This process is only indicating the future land use in the OCP.” Once the school district initiates a rezoning process for the site, Roxburgh said the city would require all of the normal consultation and would provide the information about what is actually being proposed. At that time, she said residents

would have an opportunity to give feedback on elements such as design, parking and circulation and to ask the questions about the project. “We would still, at the time, look at a rezoning application, which would change the use of the property from single-family to a school,” she said. “That piece still has to come in the future with its own evaluation process.” Mayor Jonathan Cote said it’s important to recognize there are differences between zoning and the official community plan, with the OCP indicating the broad land uses that a city could consider and rezoning showing specific things that could happen on a site. “The school district, I don’t think, is anywhere close to a detailed conversation about that,” he said.

City HOUSING

Court upholds city’s bylaw aimed at renovictions Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Supreme Court of British Columbia has upheld a bylaw aimed at discouraging renovictions in New Westminster. In early 2019, city council approved amendments to the business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw that would add new regulations to restrict evictions. This included instances in which they can be considered, provisions for temporary accommodations for tenants in cases when evictions are deemed necessary, provisions to prohibit increases in rents after renovations are done, punishments for contravening the bylaw, and when exemptions would be considered. In addition to revoking the business licences of multi-family rental property owners who don’t comply with the bylaw, the city established fines of $500 and

$1,000 for evicting tenants without permits, evicting without relocating tenants, failing to provide a relocation agreement or providing relocation documentation and implementing an excessive rent increase. While tenants and tenants’ rights activists lauded the city’s efforts to combat renoviction, the owner of a residential building filed a petition with the Supreme Court in July 2019 to have the bylaw amendment declared invalid. According to a press release from the City of New Westminster, the Supreme Court of British Columbia released a decision Feb. 11 to uphold the City of New Westminster’s business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw amendment Bylaw No. 8085, 2019, which regulates how landlords and rental building owners can undertake renovations and evictions. “I am very pleased with

this decision,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in the press release. “Renovictions contribute to housing insecurity in our community, and with this decision we will continue to move forward with our efforts to protect tenants from the impacts and risks of renovictions.” In January 2019, city council endorsed the Rental Housing Revitalization Initiative, which includes a number of components aimed at protecting and preserving the existing purpose-built market rental stock in New Westminster. The business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw was endorsed as a part of this initiative. “The city will continue to enforce the business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw,” said Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services. “We continue to prioritize our efforts to protect tenants from renovictions.”

Exercise is the best medicine This New West exercise clinic is changing the way local people think about the gym Susan has already started to see the benefits from her time at the clinic; she says “I have seen a reduction in my blood pressure, greater cardio endurance, and a huge desire to return every time.”

t’s been open for less than a year, but a new exercise clinic in New Westminster is already changing the lives of local residents. This is no ordinary gym however. In fact, LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic New Westminster likes to describe itself as the “anti-gym,” a place where how you feel is more important than how you look and where people get a lot of support to achieve their goals.

One of the things that she attributes her success to is the setup, which priorities small classes and individual support that’s tailormade to each member.

LIVE WELL is a medical fitness clinic that’s built on the belief that exercise is medicine. Specializing in safe, supervised exercise and healthy-lifestyle coaching for people who have chronic health conditions or want to prevent them, it helps its members make sustainable changes to their lifestyle to live healthier and happier lives. Members come to LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic for many different reasons, whether to lose weight, lower cholesterol, have more energy, combat stress or to continue playing tennis until they’re 80 years old. So how is it doing? We asked three local residents to tell us how LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic has changed their lives.

“I had previously tried gyms but always went alone and felt invisible and uncomfortable.” After a lifetime of being moderately active particularly in various forms of dance, I suffered three strokes in one week due to high blood pressure,” Doreen explains. “I was dancing Can Can, tap and Scottish Country prior to having the strokes, but my neurologist told me during one of my appointments that I should stop due to my health.” Doreen wasn’t enthused by her previous experience with gyms and found doing yoga or pilates in her own home demotivating, then she discovered LIVE WELL. One of the things that Doreen likes most about LIVE WELL are the personalized expertise and support she receives – a fundamental principle of LIVE WELL Exercise Clinics. The New West location is staffed by clinical exercise physiologists. Experts in their field, the team create personalized plans specifically tailored to each member’s needs. They also monitor vitals during sessions and work closely with members’ doctors to create plans that are geared towards improving their health, something that is key for someone like Doreen. The friendly and supportive nature at the gym is also important to Doreen. “I love the smallish groups and the support and love we are able to extend to each other. I look forward each day to greetings from some, hugs from others.”

Doreen and Sam enjoy working out together at LIVE WELL Excercise Clinic

“It’s like hanging out with a small group of people at a coffee shop but we work and sweat and encourage each other. I actually want to see what I can do next. Come join us—believe me, if I can do it, anyone can!”

Susan enjoys the flexibility to fit her visits in around her busy schedule.

ED P.

LIVE WELL staff creates a supportive environment and we have lots of fun.” The team at LIVE WELL works closely with its members’ doctors who often refer them to the clinic. Clients are happy too. Says Ed P. of New Westminster: “Some days I don’t feel like going but I do because of how great I feel when I am there. It’s like hanging out with a small group of people at a coffee shop but we work and sweat and encourage each other. I actually want to see what I can do next. Come join us—believe me, if I can do it, anyone can!” “I heard all about LIVE WELL from my father who was a founding member of the Langley LIVE WELL Clinic,” Susan explains. “His enthusiasm for the program sparked an interest by my sister who in turn joined the Langley clinic. I was pleasantly surprised at the commitment that my family had made to LIVE WELL and I wanted get on board!”

When LIVE WELL opened their New West location Susan was one of the first members to sign up. And something she enjoys the most about her membership is the flexibility to fit her visits in around her busy schedule.

“I had gained quite a lot of weight from being so sedentary and I was at the highest weight I had ever been in my life,” she says. “My blood pressure was up, cholesterol was up and I was feeling very depressed.” “I have committed to two sessions a week in ‘my’ time slot, but life doesn’t always run on a smooth calendar and with LIVE WELL I have the opportunity to move my session with as little as four hours’ notice, so there is no use it or lose it.”

“I enjoy the fact that only a limited number of people are in each session,” she says. “That means that any help or guidance you need is easily available from the trained fitness professionals while we work on our own program which has been tailored to our own specific needs.” If you are trying to lose weight, reduce your cholesterol, decrease your blood pressure, or just want to get healthier LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic can help. LIVE WELL specializes in supervised exercise and healthy lifestyle-coaching specifically tailored to each member’s unique needs with a focus on overall health and well-being. With clinics throughout BC, including right here in New West, LIVE WELL’s evidence-based programs are ideal for those with chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and obesity and for anyone who wants to improve their general wellness.

Arts & Entertainment Arts Club returns to city A Canadian play that inspired an award-winning CBC TV series is coming to the stage in New Westminster. The Arts Club on Tour production of Kim’s Convenience is onstage at the Anvil Centre Theatre on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Ins Choi’s debut play is set in a family-run corner store in Toronto’s Regent Park area. Mr. Kim, or Appa (JamesYi), is grappling with both a changing neighbourhood landscape and a chasm between him and his second-generation Canadian offspring. Kim’s Convenience was originally produced as part of the 2011 Toronto Fringe Festival and went on to a successful run in 2012 at Soulpepper, receiving the Toronto Theatre Critics’ Award for Best New Canadian Play and spawning a nine-city national tour. Director Kaitlin Williams is looking forward to taking

the play on this latest B.C. tour, which will include a number of Lower Mainland and Island performances, as well as Interior shows. “Having the opportunity to bring the show and Appa’s story to more communities is incredible,”Williams said in a press release. “For me, this is a story about reconciliation, sacrifice and deep family love. It

means so much to our cast and creative team, and we look forward to sharing it with audiences again.” The play also stars Andrew Creightney, Howie Lai, Jessie Liang and Maki Yi. Tickets start at $29 and are available through www. ticketsnw.ca or 604-5215050.

within the school,” she says. “They’re all super kind, and everyone helps each other out.” Part of working as a team means learning from each other, and Grade 11 student Joey Ellam notes that’s one of his favourite things about the program. Some students are strong dancers, while others excel in singing or acting – those who are leaders in one area will work with the others to bring everyone’s performance level up. Joey already has a strong acting background, having taken part in Arts Club Theatre youth intensive programs, but he’s appreciating working with some of the strong actors in the group to hone his characterization of Maurice, Belle’s father. “Everyone here is super supportive,” he says. Scotia Browner, a 14-year-old Grade 9 student who’s playing Chip (the young teacup), agrees. She’s one of the youngest members of the cast but says she never feels treated differently by the senior students. “They’re like a bunch of older brothers and sisters for me,” she says. “They don’t treat me like a Grade 9.They treat me like an equal.” Scotia, who was first exposed to musical theatre through a class at her dance school, is already an experienced performer who’s ap-

peared in a variety of community and professional productions. The NWSS program, she says, has a special vibe. “It’s really great. Everyone’s very focused, it’s very professional,” she says. That professionalism is particularly valued by those students who are eyeing a future in theatre. One of those is Lauryn Savela, a Grade 12 student who’s appearing as Madame de la Grande Bouche, the opera-singing wardrobe. This is her first big musical with the school; she first got involved in a musical theatre fundamentals class last year that helped her get over her stage fright. Now she’s looking at applying to theatre schools for next year. SkyeWilkinson, the Grade 12 student who’s playing Mrs. Potts, also has her sights set firmly on a stage career. Skye is an experienced performer – a longtime dancer, dance teacher and singer – who’s applying to musical theatre and opera programs for post-secondary studies. She values the chance to take part in a program that produces such a high-level show. “It doesn’t feel like a school musical, it feels like a legitimate production,” she says. “It’s just a high level of commitment from everyone – the actors, the crew, the people making the set.”

At the helm of the crew are two student stage managers, Grade 12 students Claire Fabian and Jade Bouchard. They’ve taken three younger students under their wing to mentor them, teaching them how to serve as stage managers not just for the musical theatre production but for other NWSS drama and dance shows as well.

The bonds we build are really strong Both Claire and Jade worked on the NWSS production of Crazy forYou two years ago, and both have also volunteered with Royal City Musical Theatre productions. Claire intends to pursue stage work professionally and has applied to the technical theatre program at Capilano University, while Jade plans to follow her interest in mathematics and statistics to UBC. Both say they find joy in working in theatre, and in passing on the knowledge they’ve gained to the next generation of students. “I love being a part of something like this. It’s cool to be backstage,” Claire says. “You’re making the magic

happen in small ways.” Ask any of the students what makes this program so successful, and every single one agrees: the teachers. The students are quick to note that drama teacher Frances Monteleone, vocal teacher Kelly Proznick and dance teacher LindsayWaldner go above and beyond their role as teachers and essentially take on a whole second job to stage the musical. “The teachers are so supportive and nice and understanding, you really feel like you’re part of the family,” Claire says. For Alia Homenuke, a Grade 12 student who appears as the narrator, it’s the teachers who make the program special. “You can see their passion,” she says. Alia notes the work they do to build up the program, bringing students of such diverse backgrounds together, has impacts far beyond the show itself. “It’s honestly really enlightening seeing how a whole group can come together. It makes you meet people you would never meet,” she says. “It really builds the community of the whole school.” ONLINE EXTRA Check out a special bonus feature online at www.new westrecord.ca, or see www. tinyurl.com/NWSSBeauty2.

Draft delivers defence for ’Bellies

NewWest flips compensatory pick to Coquitlam for former junior ’Bellies standout Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Salmonbellies went into Thursday’s Western Lacrosse Association junior draft with more than one iron in the fire. It resulted in the return of a local talent. First-year general manager Ray Porcellato promised prior to the draft to get impact from the evening, and he delivered when he flipped the team’s first pick and a couple of other draft picks to acquire New West native Drew Belgrave from the Nanaimo Timbermen. “Obviously, this was the marquee deal for us to bring Drew back to New West,” noted Porcellato. “It’s huge for him being a hometown boy and being able to play before friends and family, but that was icing on the cake. Most essential is he’s an unbelievable, hard-nosed player.” Belgrave, 23, is currently a defender with the National Lacrosse League’s San Diego Seals. Local boxla fans will recall his contributions to a couple of strong junior Salmonbellie squads, as well as his playoff performance during the senior A ’Bellies’ 2017 march to the Mann Cup. “My first reaction is that I am relieved because I won’t have to travel as much as I have in the last two years,” Belgrave stated in a press release. “But the biggest thing for me is getting a chance to play at Queen’s Park Arena again.” As a second-year WLA defender, Belgrave played just four games last summer for the T-men, scoring once and setting up another. In his rookie season in 2018, the fivefoot-11 stickman counted 13 goals and five assists over 18 games. To get the rock-steady defender, Porcellato flipped Ethan Ticehurst to Nanaimo, minutes after selecting the Coquitlam junior grad with the team’s pick in the WLA com-

DEFENDING IT: New Westminster native and former junior Salmonbellie Drew Belgrave, acquired in a trade last week, will have a chance to pull on the senior New West jersey again, as he did during the team’s 2017 Mann Cup run. PHOTO RECORD FILE pensatory round, prior to the draft. Ticehurst picked up the B.C. junior A league’s Al Boles Memorial Trophy this past summer, as the circuit’s most inspirational player. New West also sent the team’s second round pick, 12th overall, and their 2021 second round pick, to the Hub City. With veteran backend leader Brett Mydske scheduled to miss the entire 2020 season due to probation requirements with the fire department, Porcellato admitted the defence was an area where the team would look to add a piece. Belgrave fits the bill. The team is also lining up players who could replace veterans Curtis Hodgson and Ian Hawksbee, neither of whom has confirmed their return for 2020. In picking Coquitlam’s Lucas

Shein with the team’s first pick, which wasn’t until the fourth round and 26th player, the team bolstered an aging position. “We were amazed that (Shein) was still available, frankly,” Porcellato said. “We feel he’s developed into a very good defender with lots of potential. He’s been able to learn under (ex-junior Adanacs coach, incoming sr. A’s coach) Pat Coyle, and that’s invaluable.” With an eye on bolstering the team’s netminding depth, they took a trio of graduating juniors, including a pair of jr. Salmonbellies exports in Brayden Bell and Kyle Hebert, both originally from Ontario, and PoCo’s Kyle Mooney. Porcellato said while Alexis Buque is the club’s starter, having a healthy competition for support can only make the team better.

“We wanted to stockpile a few goalies to provide us with depth. We’ve got Buque, (Neil) Tyacke and I’ve talked with Tye Belanger about coming back,” he said. “When you have internal competition at all positions, your team is stronger for it.” The draft also saw New West pick up Peterborough defender Riley Morgan, who played 2019 with the jr. ’Bellies. The first round of the 2020 draft saw just two teams use their territorial protection rights, with Coquitlam picking jr. A’s captain Reid Bowering and Maple Ridge adding Langley junior’s Anthony Kalinich.The remaining five teams were provided with compensatory picks before the first round, with New West taking Ticehurst with the fourth overall selection.

New West wraps undefeated season at B.C.s

Just as it began, the New Westminster Salmonbellies closed the book on the 2019-20 field lacrosse season with an 11-9 win. In between, there was lots of growth, plenty of learning and zero losses – adding up to an B.C. under-13 field lacrosse championship. By defeating the Coquitlam Adanacs in the tier 1 championship final, the young crew capped an incredible season and set a strong course for years to come. “This group was all heart. Our guys battled for everything and left it all out on the floor,” remarked ’Bellies coach Mitch Cavallarin. “That said, (Coquitlam) was on us all the time. It could have gone either way.” New West never trailed in Sunday’s final,

building a solid lead early then fending off the Adanacs rally attempts. “(Coquitlam) were coming quick and crawling back, but we got ahead early and managed to protect it well.” New West’s co-captain, Myles Gifford, was the team’s Warriors Fair Play award recipient. In the semifinal, the’Bellies bested Port Coquitlam 11-4.The road to the final included a 3-0 run through the round robin, including an 8-2 win over Coquitlam. They also knocked off Maple Ridge 14-8 and Langley 20-7. During the regular season they were a perfect 10-0, and through three tournaments, including the provincials, added 15 more wins. “The best part of this team was how they were able to make mistakes and learn from them.Whenever the spotlight was on, some-

one different stepped up. It wasn’t just one or two players; everyone contributed,” added Cavallarin. “It was a pretty remarkable year.They just ran with it right from the start.This is the first (age group) where you can win provincials, but they were pretty strong in past years, too.” New West’s lineup consisted of: Alistair August-McIvor,Timothy Chiang, Oliver Christiansen, Owen Christiansen, Evan Connelly, Cohen Domaas, Myles Gifford,Wren Glanville, Aidan Graham, Robert Knutson, Myles Manolson,Wyatt Pinkney, Jaxon Roy, Justin Timoffee, Malcolm Tyler, Josh Van Dop and Sasha Zuk. Coaches are Mitch Cavallarin, Justin Booth, Andrew Gallant and Brandon Goff. * The u13 tier 2 Salmonbellies’ Lexy Stevenson picked up the Warrior Fair Play award, after the team finished up its provincials.

When the games counted most, the New Westminster Hyacks showed just what they can do. And with two big wins in their back pockets, the team will enter Thursday’s Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball final with a valuable jolt of confidence. The Hyacks exacted some revenge over two opponents this week that previously had their number. By beating the Burnaby North Vikings 99-72 on Monday and Byrne Creek Bulldogs 70-63 on Tuesday, New West guaranteed themselves a spot in next week’s regional playoff series. It also put them into tonight’s (Thursday) Burnaby-New West final against the No. 1-ranked Burnaby South Rebels. And while the final has all the earmarkings of a mismatch, what coach Ted Cusick likes about his team’s current run is that there’s now some momentum to build upon. “We’ve got something going now, and the guys are feeling good,” noted Cusick of his squad. “Burnaby South is a very good team, but we’re better than what we’ve shown.” In Tuesday’s semifinal against Byrne Creek, New West had to overcome a nine-point deficit after one quarter and a four-point gap at halftime. And while a big third quarter saw the Hyacks carve out a 5850 lead entering the final frame, the Bulldogs continued to battle and got it to 64-63 before New West pulled away. “It was a good, fun game to watch – although we high school coaches felt like throwing up,” joked Cusick. Caleb Johnson led the offence for New West with 25 points and 10 defensive rebounds, while Quentin Leberg counted 19 points and 10 boards before fouling out. In the 99-72 win over Burnaby North, New West’s Kirk Bothwell came up big with 36 points and 15 rebounds. Mangat tallied 21 points and eight boards, while Johnson added 18 points and six assists. The top three teams move on to the Fraser North playdowns, which start Feb. 20 in Coquitlam.

Royals clip Falcons’ wings A big third quarter gave the Douglas College Royals all the bump they needed – twice – last week. The No. 2-ranked men’s collegiate basketball team in the nation, Douglas rallied to defeat the Langara Falcons 99-85 on Friday, then rolled past them 102-87 a day later to move closer to locking up first place in the PacWest league. Shane Toporowski came off the bench to score a team-high 28 points Friday, as the Royals erased a 44-42 halftime deficit with a huge 34-point quarter. Toporowski also pulled down 12 boards. Counting 24 points on the night was Courtney Anderson, while Reese Morris chipped in 12 points and 10 rebounds. On Saturday, the two teams were tied 18-18 after 10 minutes, but Douglas garnered a slim five-point

edge by the half. They outscored the Falcons 28-18 in the third quarter to take control. Reese Morris cashed in 26 points and seven rebounds, while Anderson scored 25 points. Contributing 17 points in the win was Cameron Morris.
