POWER Alternate Secondary School grad Brian Cao gets the last laugh at all the doubters who thought he’d never graduate. “It just feels great to have all the people trash talk you and then see it backfire,” said Cao during a graduation speech at a convocation ceremony for the alternate education school at Columbia Square shopping centre last Friday.

Craft beer joint proposed for downtown New restaurant on the corner of Columbia and Eighth streets would be part of the Shops at NewWest Theresa McManus

A restaurant chain focusing on craft beer and food may be setting up shop at a prime corner in downtown New Westminster.
First Capital Realty is planning to develop a threestorey building at 801 Columbia St. in collaboration with the CRAFT restaurant chain.The restaurant would connect to and become part of the Shops at New West.
The plan includes large garage-door style windows that would be opened in nice weather and an allweather rooftop patio. The 19,153-square-foot (1,779.5-square-metre) space would connect direct-
ly to the second plaza level of the Shops at New West but could accessed at all three levels by patrons. “They are at the Salt Building in the Olympic Village in False Creek.They also have CRAFT breweries in Calgary and Edmonton,” said Ralph Huizinga, First Capital Realty’s vice-president of acquisitions and de-

velopment in Western Canada. “It’s a fairly successful brew pub concept in a large format that we are quite excited about.” Huizinga said the plan is to connect CRAFT to the second level of the New Westminster SkyTrain station, where Shops at New West is located. “Part of the logic behind
this is to create a better entrance to the Shops at New West on the second level,” he told the Record. “In addition to the CRAFT building, there will be a sort of grand staircase beside them that will take them up and connect Columbia to the shops.There’s always been a bit of an abrupt stop and an Continued on page 8

POWER grads ready to face a new future Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca
“It’s really great that all you are here to support us weirdos.Thank you.” Few school officials would pick the word “weirdos” to describe the 12 grads who gathered for POWER Alternate Secondary School’s grad last week, but that’s how grad Lorilynn Grey decided to thank staff, friends and family for coming out. And she and her fel-
low grads do have a certain square-peg-in-a-round-hole thing in common. “It’s a school for anybody for whom the regular school system is not going to work, and the reasons vary from person to person,” viceprincipal Steve Inniss said of POWER, which operates out of a space in the Columbia Square Shopping Center. “It could be that somebody just can’t stand the crowds. It could be that it’s the entire set of formal
structures that’s not working for them.” Based on what the grads had to say at their convocation, POWER has worked for them in a way regular schools didn’t. “I always had the worst time in school,” said Kat Smith in her speech. “By the time I hit Grade 8 it became a chore and a pain to come.We found (POWER), and then it became a joy to come every day and work and meet these wonder-
ful people and make friends that I’ll have for life.” Most of her fellow grads said they never thought they’d graduate until they came to the program. Others, like Brian Cao, were downright defiant about their accomplishments since making the change from regular schools. “It just feels great to have all the people trash talk you and then see it backfire,” he said in a speech much cheered by fellow grads,
friends and family. “They said I would never graduate. Look at this, baby! Let’s go! They said I would never get a scholarship.What’s this right here, baby! Let’s go!” Through all of their rousing, tearful and humorous speeches, however, all of the grads made it clear staff at the school played a big part in their success – even using the L-word liberally. “I treat them as family at this point,” said Cody Koronko.
For Inniss, who’s witnessed seven POWER convocations, the annual event underlines the importance of the program’s work. “I think about how much graduation changes lives for people,” he said. “It’s the biggest single thing that a person can do in terms of their personal future, their economic future, everything else, and I think of how unlikely that graduation seemed for those people not that long ago.”
We asked graduates:What was the best part of the POWER alternate education program? Here’s what they said
Brian Cao: The best part of being in the POWER program is that you come here and know that you can be successful.
Cody Koronko: Discovering myself as a person and who I am.
Delaney Simms: The best part of being in the POWER program is the fact that they genuinely care about who you are as a person and how well you do.
Alice Li: I met great people here and the teachers were excellent. They were perfect. They cared about us like family.
Kyra Godin: The best part of being in the POWER program is all the supportive teachers that help me every day get through my work and put me on task.
Kat Smith: The people. You got that personto-person relationship more than student-toteacher, so you felt like part of a family.
Asad Devjee: It was mainly the people and the teachers that helped me get through it. They saw the potential in me that I never saw, so it was more them than me.
Chad Lehr: All the people I’ve met and how friendly the staff were.

It’s been just over a month since funding was approved for a new high school in New Westminster, and the school district is already moving ahead with preparations for the facility. For the next couple of weeks, workers will be at the high school site combing the property with ground penetrating radar (GPR), which will provide further insight into how far the burial land extends around the school. “All you get with the GPR is you get a signal that there’s something there, but you don’t know what it is. … It measures density and depending on how the soil, what it’s made up of, depends on how deep it can go,” said Pat Duncan, superintendent of the New Westminster school district. This work is the first step in what will likely be a year-

long process to prepare for construction, which is expected to start in September 2017, according to Duncan. After crews have completed the GPR study, they’ll complete a report documenting their findings. In August, another team will descend on the site to take soil samples.The district expects these samples will confirm exactly where the remains are buried. “There’s lots of land there, but we’re just confirming what areas there are that we can build upon,” Duncan said, adding staff have a pretty clear idea of where the new school will be built but this work will determine the exact “buildable area.” The work is now underway within the Heritage Conservation Act area, which is the part of the property that runs behind the current school from 10th Avenue to Eighth Avenue, between the school and

Opinion OUR VIEW
Whatever happened to accountability?
George Gretes, former aide to the transportation minister, was fined last week for lying to the B.C.’s information and privacy commissioner about his role in the triple delete email scandal. Responding to a freedom of information request by deleting the requested emails wasn’t a crime, but lying about it was – and Gretes will pay $2,500 for his sin. The province has already accepted recommendations
from the commissioner on tightening up rules around transparency, like ending the practice of triple deleting emails.This a good first step, but the fact it was even necessary is a troubling sign. So far, little has occurred to change the government culture of hiding from accountability. Even the whistleblower who sounded the alarm about the habit of triple deleting emails says Gretes was just the one who got caught. Indications of the lengths
It is what happens when political considerations trump interests in governing. government officials will take to avoid a paper trail are many. Some have adopted a work-around policy of not writing down any sensitive information, or of transmitting such information through private email ac-
counts and text messages. Some senior bureaucrats have admitted to issuing instructions on Post-It notes. Our provincial finance minister has claimed he does not even use email. It’s difficult to imagine a government that makes
sound, defensible decisions functioning this way, but it is what happens when political considerations trump interests in governing. And exactly who is being kept in the dark? That would be us, the public. Accountability in the wake of this scandal has largely been missing. The only person being penalized for this whole mess is one young staffer, when the reality is that concerns about accountabil-
ity and transparency need to stop squarely at the desk of the person in charge – which is to say, the premier herself. It’s up to British Columbians to decide whether they care enough to take the next course of action available to us all. Which is, of course, that action we can take at the ballot box next May.

The circus is coming back to town next week, which means B.C.’s MLAs will have to wrench themselves from the barbecue circuit and spend at least a few days arguing excitedly with each other.Yes, the legislature is being recalled for at least a few days to debate legislation that will give the City ofVancouver the power to place a special tax on vacant homes and that will implement sweeping regulatory changes regarding the real estate industry. But while dealing with that legislation will take up the bulk of the legislature sitting’s daily business, much of the public and media focus will be on the halfhour daily question period, which should serve as a warm-up venue for the various themes the parties will be stressing come next spring’s election campaign. As such, expect the NDP Opposition to hammer away on two themes important to them: affordability and ethical government. The party has just recently started to apply some details to two key policies. One of them is a promise to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour, a level similar to where places like Alberta and Seattle are headed. As well, the NDP is starting to flesh out its promise to get rid of Medical Service Plan premiums, and replace them with a new tax that will see those on higher incomes pay more than those on lower ones. Both ideas have consid-
erable merit, but they don’t necessarily translate into a boost in popularity for the NDP. For one thing, there are not a lot of voters earning the minimum wage.While there are potentially more than three million voters, less than 100,000 of them earn the minimum wage anyways and most of those are young people who don’t vote in any significant numbers. Getting rid of the MSP premium structure is a good idea, but there may be some political risk from what replaces it. Many people (particularly those in unions) don’t pay the MSP monthly premium because their employer does, so replacing it with a new tax – even though it will likely be lower than existing MSP rates – may not prove the most popular of moves. As for the B.C. Liberals, look for them to respond to every question with an answer tied, however tenuously, to the B.C. economy, which leads the country in performance. And they will continue to taunt the NDP as being a party of internal contradictions and uncertain leadership. The session will likely only last four days, unless the New Democrats want to return after the B.C. Day long weekend for further practice at fine-tuning their messaging. But I suspect returning to the barbecue circuit will win out instead. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Teens party during strike Three young teenagers out of school because of a provincewide general strike in June got dangerously drunk and were treated for alcohol poisoning at Royal Columbian Hospital.The three juveniles had been at a party in the 1100 block of Eighth Avenue that started at 8:30 a.m. after the adult in the home went to work. By the time police broke up the party, about 60 youths between 13 and 16 years old had trashed the house.

Thanks for joining in with the adventure, NewWestminster
Sapperton Park is getting a facelift
Dear Editor: On Sunday, July 10 we hosted a Spare Parts Adventure Pop-Up Playground in Tipperary Park. We didn’t know how many families were going to be interested in letting their kids build their own playground, but when 10 o’clock came around we were pleasantly surprised! Kids (and some parents) came and built beds, tire swings, tents, boats, and a wide range of other structures out of spare parts generously donated by the community. Over 115 children came and exercised their bodies and imaginations. The sound of hammers rang through Tipperary Park for hours! We’d like to thank a few people and organizations for their generous support. We received a NeighbourWhen 10 o’clock hood Small came around we Grant from Vancouwere pleasantly the ver Foundation to help surprised set this up – thank you very much! Thank you to Steel & Oak, Bunches & Blooms Floral, Matchstick Coffee and Timbertrain Coffee for donations of materials (and coffee!). We’ve probably forgotten some people here, but thank you to Peter Foreman and Foreman Auto, Lindsay Hamilton and Michael Kaisaris, Dee Beattie, the Arbo family, Rick Vugteveen, Christa MacArthur, and Bunka Sandhu for the generous donations of spare parts. Members of the École Qayqayt Elementary School PAC donated tools and materials and helped spread the word. Thank you to the volunteers who helped sign families in, set up, clean up and make sure kids had the freedom to build whatever they wanted. And thank you especially to all of the families who came out to enjoy the Spare Parts Adventure Pop-Up Playground! Without all of you coming to the park to let kids build things on their own, this wouldn’t have been the success that it was. Thank you for bringing your smiling faces and adventurous children!

New city waterfront logo misses the mark Dear Editor Re: Council divided on new brand, the Record, July 7. What is the logo for? New Westminster? Quayside? Why the W and Riverfront? Why is the ‘W’ in the picture, is this permanent? Unless you lived in New Westminster I don’t think anyone would understand the soldier.

Another historic home bites the dust in city NewCity Dude 2 You may not be aware of this but the GVRD is facing a housing crisis. We need hundreds of thousands of homes built soon because there’s a wave of humanity in it’s way here. Forget nostalgia - we need more density. If we stopped building because one group wants to preserve every house that turns 100 and another group doesn’t want a high rise obstructing their view we become part of the problem and not the solution.

Creating a new destination
Downtown draw: An architectural rendering of the proposed CRAFT Beer Market at the Shops at New West PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
First Capital Realty Inc. continues to mix it up at the Shops at NewWest. The company purchased the commercial and related parking in the Plaza 88 development Shops at New West from the Degelder Group in 2012.The development is built around and over the NewWestminster SkyTrain station. Ralph Huizinga, First
Capital Realty’s vice-president of acquisitions and development inWestern Canada, said the company is attempting to make the commercial space a destination, rather than a place that commuters pass through. “The challenge there is you have significant commuter traffic and not a lot of focused shoppers,” he said. “The cinema there is good,
New restaurant would be a draw Continued from page 1 incomplete finish to that side of the Shops.This solves that problem, and gives us a great draw, which is the other thing we were looking for here – something to attract people beyond simply commuters going to take the SkyTrain.” The city has received an application for a special development permit that would allow the building to be constructed at 801 Columbia St. Huizinga said First Capital Reality would like to begin construction this year. The company is hiring a consultant to lead the public consultation process. “This is land that was owned by the city that we purchased under an agreement for sale. I think the city is keen to see this developed as well,” he said. “It lacks something there, it wants something substantial.” On July 4, council directed staff to bring the development agreement bylaw
forward for council’s consideration, once it is prepared. “We are looking to move this one forward rather quickly,” said Jackie Teed, the city’s director of planning. “This applicant, First Capital, is working specifically with the proposed restaurant that would be in this location.They are designing it specifically to attract this business here.We are expecting to bring the application to design panel over the summer.Then we would be bringing it forward to council for consideration probably in August or early September.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the corner of Eighth and Columbia streets is the entrance to the city for people arriving at the New Westminster SkyTrain station and downtown shops. “I want it to be a nice entrance into the city,” he said. “I want it to be an inviting place.”

City Playing Pokémon Go? Police want you to stay safe Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
As excitement over Pokémon Go spreads across the country, police in New Westminster are warning gamers to be careful while playing the popular game. Pokémon Go is an app for smartphones that, once downloaded, encourages players to search for and
catch virtual Pokémon at real-life landmarks.The game, which was only recently made available to Canadian smartphone users, is based on the popular Pokémon television show and game from the mid-90s. While the game has received much praise for getting people up and moving, NewWestminster police are concerned some users are so
focused on the game they’re putting themselves at risk. “We are already hearing stories of people walking into traffic and off cliffs in the United States while playing the new Pokémon Go,” Staff Sgt. Chad Johnston said in an email to the Record. “Pokémon Go is clearly taking a grip on gamers and on one hand is getting people up and moving
around, which is great, however people seem to be so intent on ‘catching ’em all’ they are not paying attention to what is happening around them, which can obviously be dangerous.” Johnston said he himself has witnessed several players, so absorbed in the game, walk into trees and trip over landscaping rocks. “We want players to en-
joy the game, but please be aware of your surroundings,” he urged. Police south of the Fraser are also cautioning Pokémon Go gamers after a New Westminster man was arrested for an alleged sexual assault last week. The incident happened onWednesday, July 13 shortly before midnight. UsingWhisper, an online chat
app, a 19-year-old woman arranged to meet with a 31-year-old NewWest man at a park in North Delta to catch Pokémon together. But when the woman showed up, the man allegedly made sexual advances towards her. She fled and reported the incident to police, who picked up the suspect a short while later, according to Delta Police.

City City plans to borrow money
ate BC Celebr$13. 99 Bundle
Residents have until July 25 if they want to oppose the $28.3-million plan The City of NewWestminster plans to borrow up to $28.3 million to fund capital infrastructure improvements. The projects to be funded through debt include city hall upgrades ($6 million), library upgrades ($4.8 million), land purchases ($8.5 million) and a fibre optic network ($9 million).The city expects to repay debt incurred to construct the fibre optic network from revenues generated from leasing “dark fibre” to internet service providers. A staff report states the city will use some of the money to acquire land for the placement of a future electrical substation and district energy plant. An “alternative approval process” is providing residents with an opportuni-
ty to voice opposition to the borrowing plan.To oppose adoption of the loan authorization bylaw, individuals must sign an alternative approval process elector response form by 7 p.m. on Monday, July 25. Unless at least 10 per cent (4,587) of eligible electors in NewWestminster oppose the plan, council can adopt the bylaw. According to a staff report, the city’s total debt capacity is $570 million, net of existing debt. As of Dec. 31, 2015, the city had issued $65 million in debt. “The city has the ability to interim finance from the Municipal Finance Authority for up to five years under the authority of a loan authorization bylaw,” stated a staff report. – Theresa McManus

Little India
Where can you see them? UPTOWN LIVE Why are they in the news? Langley rockers Little India are bringing their eclectic mix of funk rock and 80s pop beats to New Westminster this month for Uptown Live. The band has enjoyed widespread success since playing last year’s Squamish Valley Music Festival and supporting Irish rock band Kodaline on their Canadian tour. Now, Little India is gearing up to release an EP,
giving Uptown audiences a sneak peak at their new, progressive sound. The NOW caught up with lead singer Conan Karpinski and guitarist Tim Morrison to chat about their upcoming slot at Uptown and what makes them unique. (Hint: it may have something to do with Hercules, or Game of Thrones, or both.) – Tanya Commisso
Conan Karpinski: And festival food is always delicious. I think that’s one of the main reasons we got involved. Have you guys ever performed at Uptown Live before, or any other local festival? What made you want to be involved and how did you get involved? Tim Morrison: Yeah, we played Khatsahlano Street Party, CityFest, May Day Parade, Surrey Canada Day, and I’m not sure if Squamish or Rifflandia qualify as local shows, but we’ve had the pleasure of playing those, too.We like to get involved with the smaller local festivals because not many bands play close to home. A lot of the time, you have to travel into Vancouver or Seattle to see a show, whereas this time the show comes to you.We were asked to play Uptown Live and instantly said yes. We love summer shows. It gives us an excuse to take a break from the studio and get out into the sun.
ON STAGE From left, Dallyn Hunt, Tim Morrison, Conan Karpinski and Andrew Dixon are bringing their band Little India to Uptown Live this weekend. The indie band is set to play the TD stage located at Sixth and Princess streets at 6 p.m. on Saturday. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Can you give me a brief overview of your band and how you formed? TM: Well, we’re basically four best friends with unique traits and skill sets: one has beautiful hair, one has Hercules arms, the other is from Africa and knows pretty much everything there is to know about Game Of Thrones, and then there’s me. I’m not sure how that applies to music, but basically we’re all completely different people who fit really well together. CK: When we started out we never intended to be a touring band.We all had young blood and were just messing around. Dallyn (Hunt, drummer) could hardly keep a beat and I only took the role of lead singer because no one else wanted to sing. At first, no

one wanted to form a band. I had to rally them like Jon Snow rallied the houses in the North. Andrew (Dixon, bassist) said no at first and didn’t want to be a musician, but he’s still with us, and now he’s in too deep. Sorry dude, you’re going nowhere. What can audiences expect from a Little India performance? CK: We used to stand really still on stage.We let the music do the talking and not put on much of a show. I think that’s because we were young and shy. But last year, we decided to up our game and not care what people think, and now we go crazy.We like to groove on stage and have fun with the audience. There’s been some crowd surfing, and we’ve even had a grandma flash us
once – I think that was our greatest moment. But to answer your question, you can expect loads of dancing from us and from the fans in the audience.We don’t hold anything back. TM: It really depends on the crowd too. If you’re open to some grooves and dance moves, then the music will take you away. We always encourage dancing, of any sort. Will you be debuting new material at Uptown Live? CK: Absolutely.We have tons of new material and we cannot wait to play it for those who haven’t heard it yet.We’re releasing an eightsong EP titled Neon Jungle soon, so we’ve begun to add a lot of those new tunes to our live sets.

Why do you think it’s so important to have free, local festivals like Uptown Live? TM: It’s a good way to get newer bands out there and the community together. I remember when we first started it was nice to have a summer festival show because you got to showcase your music to those who wouldn’t have heard it otherwise, and if it’s a free festival? Well, anything free is good in my books! It’s a good chance for young kids to get rowdy.When I was younger, I took any chance I got to get rowdy. A lot of bands like us play 19+ shows and younger crowds don’t always get a chance to see the shows. Also, there aren’t many good festivals around these days, a lot are actually dying out. It’s a very prevalent problem, so it’s nice to see festivals
like Uptown Live revive the scene. How would you describe your music to someone hearing it for the first time at Uptown? CK: I could give a straightforward answer. Instead, I’m going to say our sound is like if The Cure went to Africa and had a love child with Tears for Fears.We’re that love child. TM: We’ve looked at the lineup, and there are some fantastic bands on the bill. However, we will stand apart because our drummer, Dallyn, will have the best hair out of any of the artists there, including the female ones. Little India hit the Uptown Live TD Stage at 6 p.m., Saturday, July 23.

Brandon Isaak
Born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon and currently sharing his time between home and British Columbia, Brandon “Yukon Slim” Isaak is one of Canada’s most authentic blues musicians on the scene today. What separates Brandon Isaak from the rest of the pack, besides his professional musicianship and song-writing, is his ability to connect and involve the audience in his live shows. He is a master storyteller with a sharp sense of humour and his affinity for the rawness and spontaneity of the blues is second to none, as anyone who has had the privilege of being in his audiences will tell you. After many nominations by The Maple Blues Awards, (Canada’s national blues awards), this guitar slinger from the Yukon finally won his first MBA last year for Acoustic Act of the Year. The nominations were just released again and Brandon has another nomination, Guitarist of the Year. Over the years Brandon has had a chance to play with some of his favourite musicians and main influences, such as: Corey Harris, Guy Davis, Taj Mahal, Colin Linden, Serena Ryder, The Sojourners and Jim Byrnes as well as electric greats like Jeff Healy, Joe Louis Walker, Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, and Chicago Blues Diva Zora Young. Brandon’s affinity for the rawness and spontaneity of the blues is second to none, as anyone who has had the privilege of being a part of his audience will tell you. He brings a firebrand style of guitar as well as incredibly stirring vocals that truly has to be witnessed to be appreciated. www.brandonisaak.ca
Field Study
Field Study is the sonic identity inhabited by award-winning singer/ songwriter Caleb Stull. Haunting and catchy melodies over stomping, shimmying grooves, spiced with some electro sorcery. He’s joined by Kim Stewart’s singing and bass playing, Tyson Naylor’s keyboards, and Matt Brain’s drums pounding out the backbeat. Stull formerly fronted the Vancouver band Parlour Steps for over a decade, garnering attention for his tight and evocative pop song-writing, with a strength in writing vocal harmonies made to melt the coldest heart. Field Study’s debut album FEVERLAND was released in 2013 to critical acclaim, charting on AAA, college, and internet radio all over North America, as well as being Rolling Stone’s download song of the day, with songs licensed to prime-time TV and independent films. Look for their sophomore album to be released January 2017! Field Study is on Nine Mile Records, distributed by Universal/ Conveyer (Canada), Redeye (US), and Proper (UK/ Europe) www.fieldstudymusic.com

Vancouver based solo artist Gabriela Geneva is delivering an unprecedented sound to music, drawing influence from her Eastern European roots to form her exotic and energetic pop and r&b sound. Born in Bulgaria, her family moved to England when she was just 9 years old, and then to Canada’s West Coast at the age of 15. A unique and refreshing blend of East meets West, which is a product of being raised and influenced by these hugely artistic regions of the world, Gabriela knows she is not typical of today’s pop music diva. January 2016 sees her debut single uniting these musical ideas and cultures, into the song “Tornado” - a song that perfectly captures the ever relatable feelings of love and hate. The track has been an instant hit with listeners, garnering rave reviews from coast to coast. Catch Gabriela this summer when she will be hitting the stage with Rachel Platten and Juno Award nominee for Single of the Year, Ria Mae. www.gabrielageneva.com
Gary Comeau & the Voodoo Allstars
Gary Comeau is a singer-songwriter and musician of unique diversity and talent. Playing a range of instruments including guitar, mandolin, fiddle and piano, he delivers originally crafted, high energy, New Orleans-style rockin’ roots and blues. Although Gary’s own roots are French-Acadian - he was born and raised in Nova Scotia - his soul seems to have taken a long and inspiring detour through Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta. While Gary does not consider himself to be a Cajun or zydeco artist per se, he’s probably the most southern-sounding player in Canada. Steve Newton of The Georgia Straight states, “Vancouver’s roots-music scene has immensely benefited from Comeau’s presence.”

NEW WESTMINSTER’S ULTIMATE STREET PARTY SATURDAY, JULY 23 • 12pm-9pm JP Maurice
Good for Grapes
Adversity has never defined JP Maurice. The seasoned British Columbia-based musician, producer and songwriter knows the highs of his craft, but it’s in the lows that he finds his fire. A veteran of the music industry for over a decade, JP Maurice has experienced everything from being signed and dropped by a major US label to touring Central and Western Europe while filming and starring in the exceptionally ambitious “Breaking Up Broken Down” mockumentary film/multimedia collaboration with Green Couch Productions. A lover of pop music, JP Maurice crafts songs with defined choruses, emotive lyrics and brimming with melody. The muscular pop/rock tracks of Maurice’s debut solo album “The Arborist”, reflect an artist who can take a bad day, a failed relationship or dark experience and forge it into an anthem. This past year Maurice has been working feverishly on his follow-up record tentatively titled “Retriever”. His finest material to date, Retriever promises to continue pushing the boundaries of contemporary pop music, and redefine people’s expectations of what the definition of an entertainer can be. www.facebook.com/Maurice/
Good for Grapes formed in 2010 after a group of friends took a trip to Victoria, BC for the purpose of busking. Since the moment they stepped onto the ferry, they were an attraction. Drawing unexpected crowds, naturally this young and aspiring band took form; an original and talented five piece group, with an array of harmonizing voices and instruments. Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, this folk/ alternative ensemble has been gaining momentum on the Canadian music scene. Their live stage performances have evolved into an incredibly active, folk stomping, and inviting energy; always resulting in an extremely enthusiastic and involved audience. Beginning by supporting charities and foundations, their unique folk sound has been accepted into a large variety of venues. Through this, they have gained a loyal fan base which grows at every turn. www.goodforgrapes.com

Little India is a band consisting of four friends whose success unfolded unexpectedly after coming together to play music just two years ago. Their worldly influence is heard through unique hooks and samples, and can be credited to the combination of their South African and Canadian heritages with a strong British influence. In their short yet explosive career, their sound has been described as nostalgic rock with 80’s pop influences. With the perfect harmony of funk rock and electronic sampling, their ever-changing sound keeps listeners on their toes and allows for experimentation in the character of each song, all the while keeping you dancing. Their climbing success has been driven by their debut EP, Up All Night, resulting in winning both ‘The Shore 104.3 FM’s Best of BC’ and ‘CFOX’s Seeds Competition’ in 2014, as well as ascending into the top 12 of the 2015 “Peak Performance Project” hosted by The Peak 102.7. Conan Karpinski (lead vocals, guitar), Andrew Dixon (bass, vocals), and Dallyn Hunt (drums) are now busy working on their follow-up EP, “Neon Jungle,” to be released this year, which will debut their progressive sound. www.littleindiaband.com

She’s shared the stage with folk legends such as Sylvia Tyson, been in the Peak Performance Project, and become a favorite on the CBC.

Her new full length record Heading North, released in January 2016, captures a delicate, elegant take on folk, with tinges of everything from country to classical and beyond.

She enjoys a great musical heritage inherited from her grandfather, a Vancouver pianist that backed jazz greats including Nat King Cole and Sammy Davis Jr. Her third album entitled ‘Out of the Woodwork’ is the culmination of over 20 years of song-writing experience.

R & B Allstars
The R & B Allstars are a Vancouver institution. The band originally formed in late 70’s. With signature white tuxedos, the band first opened for British blues icon Long John Baldry. They would later open for a host of legendary artists including War, James Brown, Paul Butterfield and Chuck Berry. With great local support, the R & B Allstars would endure for well over 20 years. More than 30 members have come and gone, including some of the best all-time musical talent in Vancouver. Now, the Allstars have relaunched for the same reason they did back in 1979 – because “they love it.” The group now includes 8 original members and 3 new additions. Powerful vocals include Dave Steele (new), Joanie Bye, Kirsten Nash and Al Lynch. The original rhythm section of Rick Hill (drums), Russ Marsland (guitar) Al Davidson (keys) are now joined with Billy Mendoza (bass). The original horn section of Kirsten Nash (tenor), Colin Weinmaster (trombone), John Pearson (baritone sax), Al Lynch (trumpet) have added the smoking talents of Steve Hilliam on reeds. www.rbalive.com

The Boom Booms
The Boom Booms are a Vancouverbased six-piece rock-pop band. Since their 2007 launch, the band has built a loyal fan base that stretches across generations. In 2011, The Boom Booms released their debut album Hot Rum! This album, along with their strong live performances and incredible stage presence, earned the sextet a spot in the 2011 Peak Performance Project, BC’s most prestigious contest for emerging musicians. They went on to win second place and picked up a cash prize of $75,000. Since then, The Boom Booms have wrapped up a successful tour of Brazil which included sold out performances in both Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, playing for one thousand people in the heart of the Amazon. Uptown Live is proud to welcome The Boom Booms as one of our headline performers this year. www.theboombooms.com
The Katherines
The musical journey of the Vancouver trio, The Katherines, has just begun but they’re already filtering their experiences through the prism of modern pop. Together, they’re refracting elements of rock, R&B, dance music and more into their exquisitely expansive debut LP, To Bring You My Heart. “One of the most important things in the world is human connection,” frontwoman Kate Kurdyak professes of an ethos that ties just as much to her personal life as it does the unified front of the band, “what is life without people and without relationships?” While Kate handles the song-writing duties, sister Lauren Kurdyak and Kaitlyn Hansen-Boucher have brought their own distinct flavours to studio sessions, onstage performances, and during the odd busking session down on Vancouver’s waterfront. With a captivating debut single and dynamic new album, The Katherines are about to make their biggest connection yet. www.katherinesband.com
Twin River
When Twin River set about writing its sophomore album, Passing Shade, the members were separated by nearly 4,000 km, as singerguitarist Courtney Ewan was living in Montreal while collaborator Andy Bishop remained home in Vancouver. And yet, despite the duo’s geographical divide, they have emerged with a unified, assertive pop-rock sound. As Ewan and Bishop fleshed out the material, the songs morphed into fiery rock scorchers that channel peppy pop catchiness with an undercurrent of atmospheric, synth-infused darkness. Bishop’s psych influences can be felt in the scorching electric guitar leads, while the soaring pop melodies and introspective lyrics preserve the core of Ewan’s confessional song-writing. Together, these influences combine to form a sound that is wholly Twin River. Despite the emotional tumult contained in Passing Shade’s lyrics, the album’s lasting impression is not one of melancholy, but of confidence. It’s proof of a band that has carved out its signature sound and embracing it with uncompromising assertiveness. www.twinriverband.com

The artwork is by some of the city’s most senior citizens living in the long-term care facility, who have a variety of cognitive and physical impairments. “They do not actively dwell on their deficits, loss and sadness that normally dominate discussions around memory loss and dementia. Rather, these artists take the opportunity to focus on the positive through their communication, creativity and social interaction in a structured program,” reads an exhibi-
Be ready to party Continued from page 15 what they’d like to see in terms of a community project. “We were surprised we got shortlisted,”Wallace said, adding the trio planned the dance party proposal while their little ones slept, communicating over email.
We often forget to take the time to do the things that we love… Their inspiration for the event? “We really wanted to dance,” added Wallace. “Life becomes so busy and we often forget to take the time to do the things that we love. … I think it’s just difficult for people in their 30s to party.You don’t go to nightclubs anymore.You pretty much have to be invited to a wedding.” Wallace noted the response from the local dance community has been very positive. “All the dance studios
were really excited about it. We have more lessons than originally planned,” she said. New West Day of Dance will go ahead rain or shine. Tents will be configured in such a way to allow for all the fun. At 11 a.m., tiny tots to seniors can enjoy free lessons and performances, including hip-hop, jazz, ballet, belly dance, African dance, creative movement and Bollywood.The all-ages dance party runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The kids’ area will have face painting by professional TV make-up artist Deni Langis. Other activities include chalk-drawn dance figures, bubble demos and a playhouse. The entrance to Pier Park is at Fourth and Columbia streets. For the full lesson schedule, find New West Day of Dance on Facebook or email newwestdayof dance@gmail.com. Even though the grant was for a one-time-only project,Wallace said the cohort would continue the event next year if there were other funders.
Aug. 13 and 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. More than 50 artists will be spread out over five neighbourhoods and 23 venues.Whether it’s uptown or Queensborough, no corner of the city has been left out.

Community Residents say thanks for help with commuter traffic Queen’s Park residents are grateful for the city’s efforts to curtail commuter traffic in their neighbourhood while work is being done on the Pattullo Bridge. Kathleen Langstroth, president of the Queen’s Park Residents’ Association, thanked the city for having traffic control personnel
at Royal Avenue and First Street to prevent commuters from racing through their neighbourhood. “They have been instrumental in reducing the number of cars and making sure the neighbourhood is livable, workable and safe during the Pattullo rehabilitation,” she said. “We hope

Businesses that Doreen Hill Acupuncture
D
oreen Hill spent many years in the corporate world and is familiar with all the aches and pains we feel after a long day. “Pain can be caused by tight, knotted muscles, an injury, or sitting at a desk job all day,” says Doreen. For many of us, acupuncture is the last thing we think of when we’re in pain and Doreen notes that many of her patients come to her as a last resort. Often it’s because there’s a misconception that acupuncture hurts. “The needle is as thin as a human hair,” she explains. “The length can vary, but the diameter is always about the size of a hair. Acupuncture is virtually painless.” What exactly is acupuncture? “Acupuncture is all about moving the energy, opening blockages and rebalancing the body,” Doreen says. “That energy is our life force, our spirit; it’s what makes our heart pound. And it’s that key ingredient to life that we lose when we die.” Working with the body’s energy, Doreen can identify an imbalance in the energy flow, which is what leads to the pain and even the onset of disease. “My job is to bring that imbalance back into alignment—and then the body takes over and does the healing,” Doreen says. “The body is programmed for health and
not sickness.” In addition to treating painful muscle and joint conditions, various internal health related conditions such as migraines, women’s health, digestive disorders and the like, Doreen also specializes in natural, holistic, non-invasive anti-aging and beauty treatments. “I use various treatment modalities,” she says, “such as needle and non-needle acupuncture, massage, herbal prescriptions, and homeopathic remedies. I only carry top quality products because my patients deserve the very best products available.” For more information on Doreen Hill Acupuncture, visit her office at 630-5th Street, New Westminster, check out her website at www.doreenhill.com, drop her an email at acu-works@telus.net, or give her a call at 778.231.2565.

Press sheds light on life in Lower Mainland in 1866 Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
The year 1866 was an interesting time in what is now the province of B.C. There were many political activities in the then-colony as Confederation was nearing reality in the east. A look at some everyday things in New Westminster, as seen through the local press in July of that year, is enlightening and wonderfully illustrative of the everyday world of the Lower Mainland. Two excellently written magazines were promoted as fine opportunities for entertainment. Clarkson and Company’s book store was offering the July issues of
Godey’s and Harper’s magazines. Godey’s was described as “more than usually attractive, especially in the fashion department” while Harper’s was “a well written paper, ‘Personal recollections of the war, by a Virginian,’” plus other writings. Harper’s is still around today and there are extensive online digital archives from both publications. For the local sports fans, there was much discussion about cricket.There were plans for games between the Victoria and New Westminster teams and, while an immediate challenge contest could not be arranged, something was being worked out for August. Other local events includ-
Some tips to get kids reading this summer Continued from page 31 Hungry Caterpillar and The Watermelon Seed are some fantastic picture books about food that you can read aloud and share. Chapter books like James and the Giant Peach and The Penderwicks are great choices to read aloud while your kids gaze at the clouds and let their imaginations soar. Celebrate the night sky by setting up your backyard with sleeping bags and flashlights and cuddle up with your books under the stars.Take a journey through space with How to Be a Space Explorer or Touch the Brightest Star, then snuggle up with a charming bed-
time story like A Book of Sleep. Tell scary stories around the campfire.Take turns reading creepy stories from Half-minute Horrors. If that’s not enough, The Night Gardener by Jonathan Auxier is a haunting story that will keep you up all night. There are endless ways to incorporate reading in your summer activities. Librarians at the New Westminster Public Library would be delighted to connect you and your family with great reads. Get in touch in person, email us at youth@nwpl.ca or call 604527-4677.
ed games between the Town Eleven and the Civil Service Eleven, and a recent match between the Married and Single men’s teams had resulted in a “signal defeat for the Married Eleven.” As everyone has to eat, there were many advertisements for stores and businesses providing foodstuffs of all kinds including produce, meats, fish and baked goods. Of course there were the establishments that supplied a wide assortment of provisions from around the world. Of local food and ag-
ricultural interest, there was a short promotional article for cheese from the Fraser Valley. The farm of Reece and Company in Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley was operated by a large dairy and specialized in cheese.The article noted that “this valuable commodity is now being manufactured in excellent quality and large quantity.” The paper expressed the hope that the farm would find a good market “in our colonial traders whose inter-
ests should lead them to patronize the home-made article.” There was a short notation in one article of miscellaneous items that a sizable amount of alcohol products had arrived destined for Governor Seymour.This had recently arrived by the ship Mohawk from London, England, and amounted to “3 barrels, 21 cases and 13 casks.” It would seem that Government House had some pretty major party or reception plans.
The town site of Hope upriver was promoted as a place to visit and relax. Stating that there a few places within reasonable distance with such attractions, Hope was described as being “a cool and pleasant retreat during the heat of summer, with its cool shades and clean cold streams, well stocked with the finest trout to be found in the country.” It was very different from ours today but certainly not a bad life in the ever growing Lower Mainland of 1866.
