Slamming steel keeps duo up at night

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

A steel recycling company that has drawn noise complaints in at least one other B.C. community, is now keeping New Westminster residents awake with its racket, according to one local couple.

Oregon-based steel manufacturer Schnitzer Steel processes scrap steel on the Surrey banks of the Fraser River, just 1.2 kilometres as the crow flies from the bedroom window of Joel and Jen Harding in New West’s Victoria Hill neighbourhood.

The couple said they have been jolted awake as late as 3 a.m. by the sound of big piles of scrap steel being dropped, dragged and pushed around by heavy equipment.

“It’s horrible,” Joel Harding said. “It’s so loud it wakes me up in the middle of the night with all our windows closed.”

Neighbours share his frustration, he said.

The couple has complained to Surrey city hall and the RCMP, but they’ve been told local bylaws don’t apply because the company is on Port Metro Vancouver land.

The Hardings contacted the federally regulated body on Sept. 9, but staff there have yet to confirm Schnitzer is on its land and is, in fact, the source of the noise, despite the Hardings having forwarded them video footage of the company’s noisy, late-night activity.

“We have sent out patrol vessels to investigate the situation, but at this point ◗Steel Page 10

Sleepless nights: New Westminster residents Jen and Joel Harding stand across the Fraser River from Schnitzer Steel, a company they say is keeping them awake into the wee hours of the morning.

Crosty says ‘labour dispute’ will split the vote

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

James Crosty hopes a “labour dispute” will give him the votes he needs to become New Westminster’s next mayor.

Crosty, one of four mayoral candidates in the 2011 civic election, hopes to unseat incumbent mayor Wayne Wright and beat three-term councillor Jonathan Cote in the mayor’s race. Some supporters have sug-

gested Crosty would have a good shot at getting elected to council, but he’s set his sights on the mayor’s seat.

“If it was just Jonathan running I’d have a hard time going up against him, and I might have taken that option. When you look at the numbers, it’s clear there’s a 45 per cent group that does not support either Wayne or labour,” he said. “The family is having a fight and I am going to stand back and watch them duke it out, and hope

that people go, ‘I don’t like this, I’m going to go for something that’s not associated with it.’”

The New Westminster District and Labour Council is endorsing Cote for mayor. While Wright hasn’t been officially endorsed by labour in the past, labour candidates have supported him.

“He has been supported by them for the past three elections,” Crosty said. “In the last election, 2011, there wasn’t an in-your-

face campaign like the previous two.”

Crosty said he’s crunched the numbers and believes he’s got a real shot at becoming mayor if the labour vote splits between Wright and Cote. Crosty garnered more than 3,100 votes in his 2011 mayoral campaign.

“I don’t see a difference between Jonathan and Wayne. I think labour has to ◗Crosty Page 3

THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL THERESA MCMANUS

A

veteran politico is hoping to return to council chambers after November’s civic election and bring “a little more balance” to the table.

Calvin Donnelly, who served about 18 years on council and has ran in every election since the mid 1970s, is vying for one of six councillor seats in New Westminster.

Since losing his council seat in the 2008 civic election, he’s has remained active with a variety of community organizations and city committees.

“Even though I haven’t been on council, I have been very active,” he told The Record. “I think people, hopefully, will understand that I am not there to play around, I am there for a serious matter. The reason I can be that way is because I have been there, I have experience and I know what council entails.”

With his experience, Donnelly believes he is in a good position to

represent the community.

“We know there’s lots of labour people left on the council. I think we need a balance of other points of view. That was one of the great things about New Westminster when I first got involved – we had a pretty good balance throughout the years,” he said. “I talk to a lot of people. Everyone has a different concern.”

City councillor wants another term on council

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr is seeking a fifth term on New Westminster city council.

Puchmayr served as a city councillor from 1996 to 2005, before serving as New Westminster’s MLA from 2005 to 2009. In 2011, he won a fourth term on city council.

“I am really excited about the direction New Westminster is going and I want to continue this progressive change that we’ve done the last few years,” he said of his reason for seeking re-election. “I want to be part of it.”

Puchmayr said he wants to continue working on improvements in the 12th Street/Edmonds corridor, railway anti-whistling initiatives and an evacuation plan for the rail corridors in New Westminster.

Endorsements keep coming in

Mayoral candidate Jonathan Cote is getting support from his colleagues on city council.

Cote, a three-term city councillor, is taking on incumbent Mayor Wayne Wright in the mayor’s race in New Westminster. Councillors Jaime McEvoy, Chuck Puchmayr and Lorrie Williams have joined Coun. Bill Harper (campaign’s co-chair) in backing Cote’s bid to become mayor.

“I am please to have such strong support from my council colleagues,” Cote said in a press release. “The support I am receiving from members of council indicates it’s time for new ideas and a fresh perspective in the mayor’s office.”

McEvoy said he’s seen Cote’s commitment and work ethic firsthand, and believes the city needs a mayor who will support “progressive ideas and work” with all of the community.

Williams has supported Wright in the past but believes Cote has a “collaborative leadership style” that the city needs to face its longterm challenges and opportunity. twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

sort out their little family. I think the battle for the labour support is going to be between Wayne and Jonathan, and they are going to be sharing those 6,600 votes. There’s a good 40 to 45 per cent of the population that’s looking for change, they are looking for something new, they want balance and they want somebody that can lead the city in another direction – or to keep going in this direction while honouring the taxpayer.”

If elected, Crosty said he will work to address traffic and taxation.

He’s pleased the city has taken on issues such as railway noise and the coal transfer facility proposed in Sapperton, issues he says he pursued before the city.

“I went through my brochure from the last election. One of the things that struck me is I led a lot of the issues which the city is now tackling,” he said.

OUR VIEW

is it does not look like Canada will meet its international commitment. I think that when you make a commitment, you need to keep it, and it’s very difficult for us, for Canada, to expect other countries to meet their commitments when Canada can’t meet its own.”

Harper doesn’t even pretend to try and meet those international commitments.

The government does not even have detailed plans to meet the environmental targets.

We suppose this shouldn’t be a surprise given changes to environmental

protections under his rule, and the ongoing gagging of scientists – but to puff out his chest and talk about keeping international commitments for war when he can’t even keep his own government’s promises on climate change seems hypocritical.

Harper wanted to appear statesmanlike this week in his call to war.

Unfortunately it only reminded us that anybody – even a prime minister – is only as good as his word. And all the chest pounding about war can’t drown out Gelfand’s damning report.

IN MY OPINION

Dear Editor:

What can the voters of New Westminster learn from the people of Hong Kong and Scotland?

We can learn how to be passionate about having the right to vote, and using that right to vote when the opportunity arises.

As I write this, the Hong Kong people are standing out in the rain, by the thousands, giving a big “No” to those who would pick their candidates for them. What would our citizens do if someone tried to pick candidates for them?

And, look at the recent referendum in Scotland, where the turnout was over 80 per cent. Do you realize that if New Westminster doubled its turnout, we still wouldn’t match that of Scotland.

It’s not that hard, people. It’s now only once every four years we have to make the effort.

There are three days of advance polls, in addition

‘Misinformation’ is troubling Dear Editor:

As a politician, nothing makes me happier during an election period than a voter who is thoughtful and engaged – and nothing worries me more than one basing their vote on misinformation.

to general election day, Nov. 15.

I worked for the city in the last two general elections, didn’t see any lineups.

So, spend an hour getting to know the candidates and their positions, half an hour making your mind up, and half an hour to vote. At one civic election every four years, that averages out to half an hour per year.

Can you afford half an hour per year? Perhaps a better question – how can you afford not to?

◗ continued from page 6

I’d like to assure Dave Lundy (Where’s the fresh perspective here?, Opinion, The Record, Sept. 19) that our beautiful new Anvil Centre was not a public-private partnership. Mr. Lundy has no need to fret that Jonathan Cote changed his mind in any way by supporting a model that council chose to have the centre built.

It was council’s idea to have a partner with us in the construction of the office tower that is part of the Anvil complex, both to attract more business to the city and to offset overall costs of construction.

The arrangement did not follow the publicprivate partnership model, however. Had it done so, the entire complex would have been built, financed and operated by the private partner.

Instead, the city built the office tower and sold it, much like someone might build a house and sell it for profit.

In our case, the profit was about $5 million.

The Anvil Centre today is operated by the city, a public entity, with a conference centre, restaurant and coffee shop that will generate revenue for the city.

The crowds that jammed the centre on opening day agreed that we have succeeded in providing our city with a centre that will prove to be a vibrant, architecturally stunning anchor for our downtown, and an office tower that will house the growing workforce and commercial base that will ensure our city’s health.

Coun. Cote was a key part of the team that made the centre possible. As election day approaches, voters would be well served to welcome his focus, energy and expertise to the mayor’s chair.

Wait for Me Daddy fails Dear Editor:

Mayor Wright said that the reaction to the new Wait For Me Daddy sculpture would be one of surprise, awe, and wow.

I agree, but not in a positive way. My thoughts are “Wow, that really is out of place and an eyesore.” Its placement on what was supposed to be a stage for musicians and actors seems slapdash and poorly considered. It thoroughly clashes with the small amphitheatre in Hyack Square.

People sitting on the seats behind it no longer have a view of Eighth and Columbia, just the unadorned backside of a misplaced sculpture.

It is out of scale with the stage and overpowers the entire space. There is no subtlety here. It is a relief sculpture that would be more at home embedded in a nice granite wall, not hung in a shiny frame in the middle of an open space.

The sculpture also clashes with itself.

There is the post-modern angular frames of brushed steel at odds with the very traditional bronze statue. One of my friends compared the ragged portion of bronze behind the soldiers as something out of a H.P. Lovecraft novel. It gives the bronze portion of the sculpture an amateurish and unfinished look.

I understand and enjoy the deep sense of its own history that New Westminster has. I also understand the desire to commemorate a touching moment in the city’s military history and why they placed it there. However, simply plunking down this sculpture in Hyack Square without regard to the pre-existing architecture is someone’s idea of putting their mark on the city cheaply and easily. This sculpture needs to be removed and redone.

what parks and rec recommended.

It makes zero sense to invest further in the structure, as the chance of another pro sports tenant is gone. Baseball’s “victory” will probably be a pyrrhic one, with their shrine going the way of the buffalo anyway.

The other business model, upgrading the facility to secure a big-name, well-liked tenant, was a good one, with an array of positives, both tangible and intangible.

On the tangible side, you have direct and indirect revenues to offset the expenditures. Directly, rent would be paid. Indirectly, local businesses would

have a larger audience to market to. There were also direct, local job opportunities.

On the intangibles side, we have heritage, brand awareness and regional relationships. Heritage is likely the most valuable asset New Westminster has, and putting money into the stadium and filling it with fans would have improved that asset.

As a city, our brand is vital to attracting new residents and businesses.

A lot of money is being spent marketing New Westminster as transforming, revitalizing, embracing the future, on the rise, and welcoming.

The Whitecaps have developed a tremendously

loved and admired brand, and linking that image would have helped city’s “rebranding” efforts considerably.

All number crunching aside, I feel bad for the thousands of New Westminster children and their parents who have seen a dream evaporate.

No soccer or baseball player is being denied a chance to play, but kids will not be walking or riding their bikes in droves to Queen’s Park Stadium to see and engage with professional athletes anytime soon.

And that, as the kids say, sucks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Port decision a step back

Dear Editor:

Members of the New Westminster Environmental Partners applaud the community organizations and individuals who have recently taken the drastic step of seeking judicial review of the project approval.

On Aug. 21, members of the NWEP were disappointed to hear that the permit to convert Fraser Surrey Docks into a terminal for the export of U.S. thermal coal was approved. Members see this decision coming at a time when the world community is coming to terms with the devastating evidence of the current impacts of climate change related to the burning of fossil fuels.

The global response against anthropogenic climate change has already begun, and our regional neighbours are already taking action. From drought-ravaged California to Puget Sound, local legislators are saying

“no” to terminal proposals like this one. We believe the move to make B.C. the “port of last refuge,” as a means to benefit the province’s economy, is a move backwards that threatens our international reputation and our global responsibility.

Our members’ commitment to protect our communities and to respond to the needs of our environment strengthens.

Community groups, municipalities, health and environmental professionals, First Nations, and concerned citizens from all walks of life are now united by a common cause. We will continue to work together to call for accountability from members of our port authority, our government and from corporations, and to add citizens’ voices to the decision-making process for the benefit of our broader community.

YOU’VE NEVER RECYCLED LIKE THIS.

Taking action against homelessness

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster is getting set to shine the spotlight on homelessness.

The city has declared Oct. 12 to 18 as Homelessness Action Week. The week, celebrated by cities across Metro Vancouver, will focus on providing support and services to people who are living in extreme poverty and homelessness and identifying its impacts on all communities in Metro Vancouver.

Dave Brown, chair of the local Homelessness Action Week, said a week full of activities will help bring awareness to the plight of the homeless.

Homelessness Action Week kicks off on Monday with Thanksgiving dinner at the Union Gospel Mission, where more than 200 people will enjoy a turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

On Tuesday, more than 20 organizations will join forces to provide one-on-one free services to homeless individuals at Connect Day. In addition to enjoying a tasty meal provided by the Sikh community, folks will also be able to get help finding housing, mental health and substance abuse support, dentist and hearing tests, haircuts, employment counselling and more.

Wednesday’s event features a tour of several of the local facilities helping to keep people off the streets.

Homelessness Action Week is presenting a movie night at Rhoda Kaellis Housing Centre on Wednesday, featuring Celebrate What’s Right with the World and The Pursuit

of Happyness. Everyone is welcome to attend the movie night that begins at 6 p.m.

Along with raising awareness, Homelessness Action Week also seeks to raise money for local initiatives through the annual fundraising dinner, set for Thursday, Oct. 16 at the Columbia Theatre. Tickets are $75 (with tax receipts being issued for a portion of the ticket price).

This year’s dinner features CBC radio personality Kathryn Gretsinger as MC, and guest speakers Joe Calendino, a former member of the Hells Angels and a recovering addict who runs gang and drug prevention programs for youth, and Sgt. Toby Hinton, a member of the Vancouver Police Department and a founding member of Odd Squad Productions, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing drug education for youth, peer-to-peer training and film productions.

During the week, community members are invited to drop by the Russell Housing Centre to view the Art of Darkness, an exhibit by the Street Troupe Art Group and other artists. It’s taking place on Tuesday (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.), Wednesday (12 to 3 p.m.) and Thursday (1:30 to 4:30 p.m.).

“You have some avant-garde artists that are just mind-boggling,” Brown said.

An interfaith meeting on the theme of Opening Doors, Opening Hearts is the final event of Homelessness Action Week. It takes place on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at St. Barnabas Church.

Full details about all of the events taking place during Homelessness Action Week are available at www.nwhomeless.ca.

Steel: Noise from Schnitzer plant is ‘ludicrous,’ says resident Nanaimo residents complained about the late-night racket the company was making there while loading scrap steel into boats in Nanaimo harbour.

Those complaints stopped after the company pulled up stakes for unrelated economic reasons, according to Nanaimo Port Authority staff.

Nanaimo resident Norman Abbey, however, told The Record he wouldn’t bank on the port authority to deal with noise if the company returned.

“Port authorities across Canada are on such a long leash, that they might as well not be on a leash at all,” he said.

TheHardings,meanwhile,have started an online petition calling for Schnitzer and Port Metro to install sound barriers and for the

we cannot conclude the activities are beyond normal activity for that facility,” stated an email from the port authority.

Asked for information about noise thresholds or limits on the hours noise is allowed on Port Metro lands, the port authority stated simply, “Currently, there are no federal thresholds for noise levels for ports.”

If Port Metro determines Schnitzer is on its land, however, and the company’s operations are “irregular,” the port authority said it would work with tenants to resolve or mitigate impacts “if feasible.”

This isn’t the first time Schnitzer has been the target of noise complaints.

“The fact that they’re allowed to make this much noise, particularly all through the night right across the river from a residential area is absolutely ludicrous,” Joel Harding said. “If it was a household, the RCMP would be there in a heartbeat and shut them down.”

Two Schnitzer Surrey managers met with him Friday and told him company assessments found background noise in New West was louder than the din coming from their operation, but agreed to bring his request for noise barriers and an 8 p.m. limit on noise to upper management.

“They were certainly sympathetic but couldn’t commit to anything,” Harding said.

Who wants to adopt a library?

Pop-Up Library project holds launch event at River Market this weekend

A

lexa Bennett Fox loved the way she saw pop-up libraries in Vancouver bringing the community together.

She saw friends place a big pop-up library on the 10th Avenue bike route in Vancouver, and seeing how it drew people in to chat and share books was inspiring.

Which is what made Fox and her brothJULIE MACLELLAN ers, Isaac and Quentin, decide that New Westminster should be home to the same kind of community-building libraries.

It’s a project they’ve been working on since the spring – and it’s coming to fruition this weekend when they hold a launch event at River Market on Sunday.

The siblings’ idea to create four pop-up libraries for New Westminster made the shortlist for the 2014 One Prize presented

by Donald’s Market and River Market earlier this year. And, though it didn’t win, the Fox family had no intention of quitting.

They applied for a Neighbourhood Small Grant through the Vancouver Foundation instead and secured the necessary money that way.

They got construction expertise from their father, who builds roofs, and made one prototype library – a large, sturdy three-shelf “house” for books that sits on a sturdy post ready to be installed on a lawn.

With funds in hand, they hosted a building workshop at River Market in the summer, inviting members of the community in to help build the remaining three libraries.

The workshop was a great success, Fox notes, bringing together participants from age 12 to 60-something. The libraries have since been shingled and waterproofed, with waterproof doors added, so they’re ready to be put into action once they find a home.

Which is where the siblings are focusing their efforts now: finding individuals or community groups who’d like to “adopt” a library.

Fox notes they’re hoping to find people who are ready to commit to hosting a pop-up library permanently – who want to paint and decorate their library, install it on their lawn or in another public

Community effort: Participants in a summer workshop at River Market built these pop-up libraries that are now up for adoption.

Organizers are hoping to see the libraries adopted by residents or community groups across the city.

space, and really make it their own.

If they need help with installation, the Fox family is willing to help.

“We want them spread out around the city, and we want them in places that are accessible,” Fox says, noting that one library has already been committed to Sapperton, but the other three still need homes around the city.

If people aren’t quite sure what it’s all about, Fox hopes they’ll turn out to the second floor of River Market on Sunday for the launch event.

“Our event’s going to kind of function like a giant pop-up library,” she says.

The non-profit Kindlers Society has donated 1,000 books for the event, which will be up for adoption. People can come to donate books or take away new ones – or both – and find out more about how pop-up libraries work.

SoAreWe Creative – sisters Tegan and Taryn Cheremkora – will also be on hand leading two art projects: a stamping and bookmark-making craft for kids, and a bookbinding session in notebook making for those who want to get more involved in the creative process.

“It will be a really cool event for people of all ages,” Fox says.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A

ll things warthemed have been on the collective artistic mind of New Westminster lately, it seems, what with the unveiling of the new Wait For Me Daddy sculpture downtown and all the events associated with it.

Now, the Arts Council of New Westminster gallery is looking at A Different Kind of War. That’s the exhibition title of the current gallery exhibition, which opened

Oct. 7 and runs until Oct. 25. The exhibition features work by Yayoi Hirano, Elsa Bressler and Eddy Jalbert – all documenting, in different ways, a fight against cancer.

A press release notes that Hirano is an artistic director and performer, and expressions of her fight with cancer as a performer are captured in photos. She’ll also have masks on display, and a video of how she sculpted them will also be available.

Bressler is an artist and couturier, who painted ◗Lively City Page 18

New West actor in Urinetown

A New Westminster actor is taking to the stage in an all-new production of the Tony Award-winning Urinetown: The Musical.

The musical is onstage at Vancouver’s Firehall Arts Centre from Nov. 1 to 29, with previews Nov. 1 to 4 and opening night Nov. 5.

The cast includes a familiar local face – David Adams, who appeared in the Firehall’s original production of the musical back in 2006.

The show offers up Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis’ take on the future – a future in which drastic water shortages and a large corporation with a monopoly on all toilets force citizens to have to pay for the privilege to pee.

All that, and it’s set to music.

Adams is joined by a cast of recognized Vancouver talent, including

Fun at the fire hall AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

T

he unveiling of the Wait for Me Daddy war memorial bumped the annual fire hall open house from Saturday to Sunday – and that may have been a good thing.

New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services holds an open house of its Glenbrook fire hall each October to kick off Fire Prevention Week. While the open house is normally held on a Saturday, it was moved to Sunday so it wouldn’t conflict with the unveiling ceremony.

“It was probably the most well attended event we have had in a number of years,” said Fire Chief Tim Armstrong. “I hope all the families that came out with their children got a lot of value out of that.”

Shoe sale set

It may not attract the crowds that flock to Army and Navy’s annual shoe sale, but St. Barnabas

Church’s thrift store is hoping to clear out some of its footwear.

“They are going to have a big shoe bag sale. It’s $2 a bag,” said Roxee Forrest, associate warden at the church. “They have lots of shoes they need to move.”

The thrift store has expanded its hours and days of operations. It’s now open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1010 Fifth Ave.

Celebrating 60

More than 200 people celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Simon Fraser Society for Community Living in style.

The society, which seeks to promote options and opportunities for people to have meaningful relationships and fulfilling lives, had a 1950s theme party on Sept. 21 that included a soda fountain, a DJ, hula hoops, a photo booth and a visit from the White Spot food truck.

“The Simon Fraser Society for Community Living is a non-profit charitable organization that was incorporated on Sept.

24, 1954. It was founded in New Westminster by a group of families who wanted their children to

have the opportunity to receive an education,” states a press release. “Until then, most children with developmental delays and disabilities were excluded from the school system.”

Today, the society serves more than 2,000 children, youth, adults and their families annually through a variety of initiatives.

Getting crafty

Century House is on the hunt for treasures for its fall craft sale.

The Century House Association is accepting donations of jewelry, kitchenware, china, books, plants, knickknacks, records, CDs, DVDs and home baking for its annual sale that’s taking place on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Donations are being accepted from Saturday, Nov. 2 to Friday, Nov. 7 at noon at Century House, 620 Eighth St. Along with the white elephant area, this popular sale includes an afternoon tea, pottery, a bake sale, raffles, quilting, painting and crafts.

Clothes, linens and furniture donations aren’t needed, as there is limited space in the white elephant area.

Stories of Sapperton OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

W

ith personal ties to Sapperton, we are always watching for stories and other information as part of an ongoing project with which we are involved that seeks out the neighbourhood’s history. In the long list of area businesses are a couple that stand out because of some quirky aspects of their past.

One of these businesses is the Crystal Glass Company on the Sapperton waterfront that only operated for a couple of years, from about 1906 to 1908. They had great plans to become a dominant industry in the New Westminster region that were aimed at providing packaging for various products of the local brewing and distilling industries, as well as the preserving of various food products. Among other items they intended to produce bottles and jars.

If you have an old beer

bottle from Mr. Nelson’s brewery or a bottle from the Westminster Distillery, you just might have a Crystal Glass product. But that is not the only thing that captures the imagination when looking at items from this company. They showed off their glass skills by making and giving away some truly wonderful creative examples of their workmanship.

During the provincial exhibitions in the years they were in operation, they had displays of their wares, and they also made souvenirs in glass. They manufactured and gave away many items. We have learned of canes (full size), miniature canes, letter openers, paperweights and small vases. The canes, of which the New Westminster Museum has a number of examples, are regular cane length, with spiral twists overall and tightly turned finishes at the handle and point – elegant, crystal-clear reminders of a short-lived piece of our industrial past.

Another business with some quirkiness to its story, is something that was always simply referred to as the peanut butter factory. This first came to our attention

Canada’s Online Lifestyle Magazine

about 60 years ago when listening to some adults talking of this place. The stories included peanut butter, roasted peanuts, chocolate bars, chewing gum and a location on the banks of the Brunette River. Now that will capture a youngster’s attention and imagination.

After a lot of searching and questioning, we now know quite a lot about this business. It dates from a period around 1915 to the mid-1920s, produced lots of peanut butter that was sold locally at the C.A. Welsh stores. It also imported, sold and distributed many candy products, and, yes, it was by the Brunette River near the bridge on East Columbia Street/North Road.

These are just two of the Sapperton items we are researching at present.

At the New Westminster Historical Society presentation on Wednesday, Oct. 15, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the New Westminster Public Library auditorium, you will discover fascinating stories from Sapperton including school sites, the waterfront, and of course, lots more about Crystal Glass and the peanut butter factory.

YOUR NEW PURSE

Help Lester with his passion to become a commercial pilot

Vitamin VIP Room exclusive

Michino handbags are our new obsession: luxe, classic, graceful and with enough whimsy to give every piece the “Wham! Pow!” impact of a cartoon brawl.

Lester Wong’s story is one of strength, determination and the importance of having a goal. In 2009, he suffered devastating burns to 33% of his body as the result of a car accident. After months in the hospital, he finished his BCIT studies as an aircraft engineer, got his private pilot’s licence and was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award. His sister has started a crowdfunding campaign to fund his next goal: becoming a commercial pilot. Help his dream take flight at FundAid.ca.

Firefighters are also raising money for the Burn Fund, which helped Lester and his family after his accident. You can donate to their campaigns on FundAid.ca
