POPPY PROJECT
No stone is left alone By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The Royal City is doing its part to honour soldiers who fought for freedom and to ensure that their acts of bravery aren’t forgotten. Launched in Edmonton in 2011, the No Stone Left Alone project aims to place a poppy on soldiers’ headstones across the county. It’s expected that more than 7,500 students across Canada will lay 51,827 poppies on soldiers’ graves in 100 cemeteries across Canada in time for Remembrance Day. “This is an amazing project,” said Karen Baker-MacGrotty, who spearheaded the initiative in New Westminster.

LOT OF ISSUES TO DECIDE
City dives into how to handle new pot rules How old should people be to legally smoke marijuana? Where should people be able to buy pot? What should the government do to address drug-impaired driving? These are some of the questions the city is pondering in preparation for the new federal Canna-
bis Act, which will make the production, sale and possession of non-medical cannabis legal across Canada by next summer. “I think council wants to actually approach the issue of legalization of cannabis very similar to how liquor sales and liquor consumption are controlled in the city. In the same way the city going to deal with applications for beer and wine stores, or even in
terms of how things are consumed in the public, at least that generally seemed to be where council’s direction was that would be the closest alignment of how we’d want to regulate it in New Westminster,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. Council recently provided staff with feedback for a questionnaire being done by the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General regarding the regulation of non-
medical cannabis. Council members expressed a variety of views on cannabis, but generally agreed it should be distributed through a mix of private and government retailers. “Each of the individual councillors have various opinions regarding cannabis. Some similar, some different,” Cote said. “I think, from our perspective, the more interesting discussion will be once

Up Front A CLOSER LOOK
Solemn duty in a cemetery The sound of brushes scraping on granite, and the occasional good-natured greeting from one young person to another broke the usual silence in the New Westminster cemetery Sunday. Young people joined members of the New Westminster-based Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard to clean the graves and headstones of military veterans at Fraser Cemetery. The society has been organizing the grave cleanings for five years, each year inviting students and local community groups to join them. It’s part of a goal to teach children about the people who fought in world wars overseas, according to Rob Rathbun, a member of the Honourable Guard Society.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY November 9, 2017 5
City Beat What you had to say about pot: New Westminster is just one of thousands of organizations and individuals that provided the province with feedback about the legalization and regulation of nonmedical cannabis. According to the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, the B.C. Cannabis Regulation Engagement website saw 127,952 visits in five weeks, with 48,151 British Columbians filling out feedback forms and providing views on topics such as minimum age, personal possession limits, public consumption, drug-
impaired driving, personal cultivation and distribution and retail models. In addition to the online survey, the province also received input from 800 British Columbians through a telephone survey and reviewed more than 130 written submissions from local governments, school districts, cannabis industry representatives, advocacy groups and law enforcement. “The feedback collected through this engagement process will help ensure the provincial regulatory framework for non-medical
cannabis reflects the needs and values of British Columbians, while prioritizing the protection of young people, health and safety, keeping the criminal element out of cannabis and keeping roads safe,” said the ministry’s press release. “Over the next few weeks, the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General will review and analyze the feedback received and create a summary report on what was heard that will be made available to the public.”
‘Is it legal or is it not legal?’ Continued from page 1 One of the survey’s questions related to the allowable amounts of cannabis people could have for personal possession. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said people can carry as many cases of beer, cartons of cigarettes or bottles of aspirin as they want, so he wondered why limits are being considered on marijuana if it’s legal. He said it seems like a “holdover to prohibition” and wonders why the province would have a possession limit. “Is it legal or is it not legal?” questioned Coun. Mary Trentadue. “I think we are complicating it.” The survey also seeks input on where the public should be able to consume marijuana, such as whether it should be allowed in spaces outside people’s homes, in
places where tobacco smoking is currently allowed or in licensed establishments such as tasting lounges or cannabis cafés. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy questioned the point in legalizing marijuana if there’s no place to smoke it. The survey also posed questions about drug-impaired driving. The proposed legislation would establish new laws under the Criminal Code to help police detect and investigate drug-impaired driving cases. Kim Deighton, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said the states of Colorado and Washington have both seen an increase in motor vehicle accidents since marijuana was legalized. She said a study also found youth believe it’s wrong to drink and drive
FRESH CHOICES
but don’t feel the same way about driving while under the influence of marijuana. “Youth are more likely to drive impaired from drugs than they are with alcohol,” she said. Deputy Chief Const. Dave Jansen of the New Westminster Police Department said there’s currently no Breathalyzer test for drugs, but police officers can undergo training to become drug-recognition experts. He said it is a long, costly program and will have a “huge financial impact” on police departments to get officers trained. According to Jansen, seven New Westminster officers are currently trained as drug-recognition experts, but the goal is to have 33 per cent of frontline officers trained.
QUESTIONNAIRES SET
May Day plan waits for public input Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
Starting next week, the public will be able to share its vision for May Day with the New Westminster school district. Trustees approved a motion at the school board’s education policy and planning committee meeting Tuesday night to circulate a questionnaire asking the community for its thoughts on the three recommendations made by the May Day task force in October. The recommendations are as follows: ! For 2018 and 2019, May Day celebrations be school-based celebrations and the school district support the 150th anniversary of May Day in 2020. ! The district should discontinue the practice of selecting a Royal Suite.The board should support transferring responsibility for the Royal Suite to a community organization. ! The board should endeavour to transfer responsibility for organizing the May Day celebration in Queen’s Park outside of school hours to a community organization that could then decide how best to continue the tradition. In this way, for example, those community members who are particularly keen to keep alive the institutions of
the May Queen and Royal Suite could formulate their own selection methods, costume requirements and ceremonial duties. “What we are doing and what I have been tasked with is to go out and share the task force’s recommendations with the public,” New Westminster school district superintendent Pat Duncan told the Record. “The intent is that the board will get the consultation surveys back and go from there.” As it stands now, there have been no decisions made on the future of May Day. The status quo will remain for the 2018 ceremony until the school board makes a decision, but it won’t be making a decision until after the results of the community questionnaires are presented, Duncan said. “There’s been no secret meetings; there was no decision to end May Day, anything like that – that’s not on the table,” he added. The surveys will be sent home with every student in the district next week and will be available online at newwestschools.ca starting Monday, Nov. 13. The questionnaires are open to anyone – no matter if you have a child in school or if you live in New Westminster.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Name-calling is a tradition best ditched Facts matter.Words matter. So we applaud B.C.’s new Speaker of the House, Darryl Plecas’s attempt to bring a bit more civility into the legislature. Plecas was a former Liberal MLA who took the Speaker’s position tipping the balance of power in the B.C. Legislature. Needless to say he made quite a few enemies out of his former party members.While his new position is considered
neutral in the legislature, to be sure the Liberals don’t see him as a neutral figure. So, it’s probably not surprising that Mike de Jong blasted Plecas saying that Plecas was setting a “dangerous precedent” and damaging freedom of speech. Others have also criticized Plecas saying that name-calling is just part of a long parliamentary tradition. And that, well, this is how democracy works.
Uh, no. And if it was a “tradition,” it’s a tradition that needs to end. We don’t care if it’s Liberals in power, the NDP in power or the Rhinoceros Party in power, name-calling needs to end. And, we have to admit, we say this with a bit of a sense of loss.We love a great nickname. We in the media are witting or unwitting accomplices to this kind of de-
rogatory debate. Nothing makes a headline catchier than someone calling someone else a name. And politicians know that and play to the media by coming up with pithy attacks to keep their own profiles high. The nicknames are often crafted by clever punsters or communications workers whose job it is to ensure that any belittling of opponents captures the public’s attention. And,
hopefully, sticks. Monickers like “minister of job loss” do have a ring to them. And, of course, once you call an opponent a name the opponent is bound to come back with a better name to call you. And so it goes. DeJong did tell the media that “Parliament can’t work properly without (MLAs) respecting the Speaker, that’s a fundamental tenet of the way the House functions.”
But it appeared as if DeJong was going to try and sidestep the Speaker’s new rules. We would encourage him not to do that. A clever politician can clean another politician’s clock by just using good debating tactics. Using facts instead of name-calling.Yes, it won’t be as entertaining for us in the media, but if it elevates the dialogue, we’re for it.
MY VIEW LISA GRAHAM
District must keep May Day Re:Will May Day make it to its 150th? Record, Oct. 26. The claim that May Day takes away from the teaching/learning time of students is simply not correct. The fact is, May Day absolutely meets and satisfies the Ministry of Education curriculum standards for required learning outcomes. In NewWestminster, where the celebration is the longest running May Day in the British Commonwealth, staff participation in May Day is contractual, a recognized condition of hire, acknowledged by the district and the applicants.
…the celebration is the longest running May Day in the British Commonwealth
Nevertheless, through the years, for reasons that make zero sense to me, a core group of teachers (and certain politicos) have long been angling to eliminate May Day. To date, that effort has been quite successful – for example, the kindergarten and primary grades onesand-twos no longer participate at the Queen’s Park event, and the relay races have been eliminated, etc. – but this most recent action to yet again revisit and revise May Day is particularly alarming.
It should be noted that two former school trustees (Brent Atkinson, 32 years and myself, 12 years) were concerned enough to attend the school board meeting to speak to this most recent assault against the celebration. Hopefully, that action will illustrate the importance of May Day as a community tradition, but more importantly, will illustrate the fact that its continued existence is currently in real peril. Personally, I find the premise of the school board’s May Day task force recommendations to be somewhat disingenuous. First of all, to suggest that an outside community group can just “pick it up” would present a huge logistical challenge for any wellintentioned group; if this were to be the outcome of the school trustees’ vote on the matter, it could very well be the slippery-slope that “achieves” the demise of May Day. The reality is, the school district has at the ready, all of the essential knowledge, history, practices and experience to effectively and efficiently organize and administer a successful event – namely, the required infrastructure and communication network and key participants (the children). Secondly, to have an outside community organization fund the required costs associated with hosting May Day is likely cost-prohibitive. It is not simply a matter of applying for a grant or two, or of holding a bake sale year after year to fundraise and hope Continued on page 7

A pest control company’s technique of using stray cats to control rats along New Westminster’s waterfront angered the Vancouver Humane Society.The group wrote a letter to city council in July saying Western Pest Control had trapped nuisance stray cats in a Vancouver building supply yard and relocated them to a rat-infested New West lumberyard.The society said domestic cats become malnourished and diseased when removed from human care.Western Pest Control admitted it had let loose seven strays.The company argued it was a form biological pest control, more suitable for the river area than poison.

It probably was 30 years ago, but no more. Please read the drainage information section of your curbside collection guide. Leaves left in the street clog drainage grates, just as snow and ice do. The city wants you to put them in your environmental bin or special bags. Thanks! Lois Rightmyer, New Westminster
May Day helps build community spirit Continued from page 6 to cover costs.What is available in grants one year may not be available the next and that is the kind of hoop-jumping exercise that would be required annually that does not secure any long-term, sustainable funding. I’m not entirely confident about that. Alternately, as a taxpayer, I fully appreciate that the school district (which is funded by the provincial government via the Ministry of Education), facilitates this community-building event as part of the school curricula and that the staff are paid for their May
Day efforts as part of their job. Generations of folk feel very positive about that. I know that in other school districts where May Day is celebrated as part of the school curricula (Coquitlam, for example), there have not been multi-pronged attacks against the celebration, and in fact, staff approach it with positivity. Frankly, I think it’s a great example of how tax dollars can be used to benefit citizens of all ages.We achieve learning, enjoyment, create connections between generations, and build school and community spirit. One other troubling point to note is that at the school board meeting,Trustee Michael Ewen stated that the May Day task force committee was unanimous in its recommendations and yet, outside the meeting, one of those task force members (who was engaged in conversation with a group of pro-May Day supporters) was adamant that the task force recommendations were not unanimous; she said she intended to “call Michael” and challenge that claim. Honestly, what are we, as members of the public, supposed to think about all this? I said it at the meeting and I will repeat it in this forum: If May Day was a person, I would advise it to get a lawyer and sue for constructive dismissal. Lisa Graham is a NewWestminster resident and former school trustee

City Beat ‘It is a powerful message’ Continued from page 1 “I think it is going to grow and grow and grow.” Baker-MacGrotty, honorary colonel of The Royal Westminster Regiment, recently spoke to No Stone Left Alone’s B.C. organizer about getting the program going in New West. “It was all about educating the children,” she said, “educating our young people about reflecting what our soldiers’ sacrifices are all about, about how they give their lives willingly.” On Nov. 5, community members gathered at the veterans’ section in Fraser Cemetery to place poppies on soldiers’ graves. “The poppy ceremony is very solemn, it’s very reflective.They stand behind a headstone.They kneel down and they place the poppy onto the stone. They step back and read the name of the soldier out loud and they take a moment of silence,” said Baker-MacGrotty. “I got chills up the back of my neck. When you read what it says on that stone, it has a big impact. It is a powerful message.” While soldiers are buried in different areas of Fraser Cemetery, Baker-MacGrotty said there’s a dedicated military section that has about 450 military graves. Piper Mitchell Bain, a Seaforth Highlander cadet instructor, and an eightpiece band of The Royal Westminster Regiment performed at the inaugural No
Stone Left Alone event in New Westminster, which was attended by about 200 people.Youths from a variety of organizations, including Miss New Westminster Hyack Festival ambassadors, Royal Canadian Army cadets, St. John Ambulance cadet corps, Boy Scouts and others, joined representatives from The
I think it’s going to grow and grow Royal Westminster Regiment, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 2 SenatorYonah Martin and other citizens in placing poppies on soldiers’ graves. “I can see this growing,” Baker-MacGrotty said. “This is in every single province. It’s from coast to coast and in every territory. It’s a partnership program with the schools.” Some Richard McBride Elementary School students participated in this year’s No Stone Left Alone event in New West. “McBride school is our first school. Next year it is going to be bigger with McBride School,” BakerMacGrotty said. “I would love to see all the schools involved next year.” Representatives of the Poppy Project brought a blanket adorned by hundreds of handmade poppies to the No Stone Left Alone

Part of me was actually a little bit relieved that the thermal coal isn’t now going to be there
that those issues be included in evaluation and mitigation processes related to the proposal. “I am not hugely concerned about this,” he said. “Potash is a pretty innocuous substance. Just the way it’s transported doesn’t generate a ton of dust. It’s not acutely toxic; it’s not carcinogenic; it’s not flammable, so it doesn’t create a lot of the other concerns that other products might. I don’t think it generates a smell, but it might be a nuisance for dust.” A spokesperson for Fraser Surrey Docks could not be reached by the Record’s deadline to confirm whether the proposed coal transfer facility is still being considered at the facility that’s located across the river from Quayside and Queensborough neighbourhoods.

Have plans for a coal export facility at Fraser Surrey Docks been scrapped? Some city officials seem to think so. On Monday, New Westminster city council received a staff report on a proposed potash export facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. As part of the project, it’s anticipated about eight million tonnes of potash would be moved through the facility annually, with the nine to 10 trains of potash from Saskatchewan arriving weekly and loaded onto bulk ocean-going vessels. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he’d much prefer to see potash exported from the facility than dirty thermal coal from the United States. “Part of me was actual-
ly a little bit relieved that the thermal coal isn’t now going to be there. I had heard rumours that thermal coal was not being entertained and potash was a rumour that would come in its place,” he said Monday. “Right now, there is chick peas and agricultural products that are exported there that create a significant amount of dust.” Puchmayr suggested New Westminster communicate with Port Moody, which is home to a potash storage and handling facility. He said potash may have less of an impact on neighbours than existing uses at the site. “I am certainly interested in looking at what other communities do with it,” he said. “Potash is a veryneeded fertilizer globally and Canada is, I believe, the biggest exporter of potash in the world.

THE BRUNETTE RIVER
City says new pipeline project could destroy salmon habitat ‘We have to push back against any threat to that ecological zone’ By Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster is concerned the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project could destroy decades of work done to enhance Brunette River. City council has approved a staff recommendation to advise the National Energy Board (NEB) and Kinder Morgan that the proposed alignment adjacent to the Brunette River should be moved outside of the Brunette River’s riparian zone, and to ask that habitat enhancement work in the river’s watershed be provided as compensation for the expected construction impacts near the riparian zone. “Worst-case scenario, if there were to be a spill in this area, it doesn’t matter how good your spill response is going to be, it would be absolutely devastating to the Brunette Creek and, ultimately, the Fraser River area,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “Given how much this community has worked over the years to really restore that area, I think that’s hugely problematic.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the city has expressed concerns in the past about a proposal to build the pipeline in the riparian area of the Brunette River. “It would be a shame to actually then take that improved area away and put a pipeline through it. I SOLD
think it would be an insult to people like Elmer Rudolph and the Sapperton Fish and Game Club who spent decades bringing the Brunette River back from an industrial swamp into an ecologically healthy river,” he said. “It’s a really valuable asset in our city. We have to push back against any threat to that ecological zone.” Johnstone also noted the pipeline’s route takes it really close to the Brunette interchange, which could impact the city’s ability to manage traffic in that area. He said the city needs to push back against the proposed alignment of the pipeline expansion. “The NEB puts some pretty strict requirements around buffer zones around pipelines like this. You can’t have a pipeline moving half a million barrels a day of high-pressure oil through an area and it not have an impact on what you are allowed to build and how you are allowed to build roads and overpasses.” Kinder Morgan is planning to build a pipeline expansion project between Edmonton and the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. A staff report states the pipeline would roughly triple Kinder Morgan’s existing pipeline capacity and be used to transport diluted bitumen.

ecosystems in the event of a pipeline failure. In addition, the report states that a proposed project staging area at 430 Canfor Ave. in New Westminster has potential traffic and impacts. Mark Allison, the city’s manager of strategic initiatives and sustainability, said Burnaby and Coquitlam have different concerns about the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. While Burnaby is “fundamentally opposed” to the project, he said Coquitlam’s main concern is impacts on its street network. “This particular section is a bit of a change. The alignment has gotten much closer to the river than

what was in the originally submitted documents,” Allison said. “If the National Energy Board were to consider our request to move it back from the riparian zone, it would put it closer to Lougheed Highway.” Cote said it’s frustrating to see these types of proposals placed in environmentally sensitive areas like the Brunette River. “I can only surmise that it’s done because this is the most cost-effective location for such infrastructure to be placed, but when you really think about it, it is the exact wrong place if this infrastructure goes in,” he said. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said a burst pipe in this area would be devastating to the Brunette River. “If this does go through, I am really worried that it’s just a matter of time if there is an incident,” he said. “We are in an earthquake zone. It could be devastating to one of the biggest salmon-producing rivers in the world, the Fraser River.” The City of New Westminster has made its concerns about the pipeline project known to the National Energy Board. City official have also met with Kinder Morgan staff to review traffic and environmental concerns about locating a staging area in the Brunette industrial area.

Officer recognized as a mental health leader NewWestminster cop named one of the Centre for Mental Health and Addictions’ difference makers Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
The cop behind the New Westminster Police Department’s mental health unit was recently recognized for his efforts to change the way we think about mental health. Const. Art Wlodyka was named one of 150 Canadians making a difference in mental health across the country. It was all part of the Toronto-based Centre for Mental Health and Addictions’ Difference Makers: 150 Leading Canadians for Mental Health. The centre is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital and one of the world's leading research centres in the field of mental health and addictions, according to a press release. In 2013,Wlodyka pushed for the creation of the New Westminster Police Department’s mental health unit. His idea was simple: Create a team of officers equipped to handle incidents involving people living with mental health issues, all the while reducing the time officers spent transporting people to Royal Columbian Hospital. Today, his unit manages a database of
people with mental health issues who’ve had interactions with police.The detailed histories are used by officers to help inform their interactions at future calls.Wlodyka has also helped train all the members to better help people living with mental health issues, according to the release. “Ever since Const.Wlodyka pushed for the creation of our mental health unit, the residents of New Westminster have benefited from his compassion, engagement, and commitment,” New Westminster police Chief Const. Dave Jones said in the release. “Not only have people experiencing crisis have benefited from meeting Const. Wlodyka, but his work and studies on first responders’ mental health has been equally important.” Wlodyka was chosen out of more than 3,700 names put forward to the centre for mental health. “I’m grateful to be part of an organization that’s making such an important cause a priority,”Wlodyka said in the release. “To receive this distinction is a true honour, and I share it with the people I work alongside each day.”
Leading the way: Const. Art Wlodyka was recently named one of 150 mental health leaders in the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health’s Difference Makers list. The list recognizes Canadians across the country who are helping remove the stigma around mental health. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
New West residents’ vacation included terrorism Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A New Westminster city councillor was amazed by NewYork City’s resilience to last week’s terrorist attack. New West residents Chuck Puchmayr and Amber Anderson arrived in NewYork City on Tuesday morning for their vacation in the Big Apple. Later that day, eight people were dead, after a suspect drove a rental truck onto a bike-only path in lower Manhattan.
“We had just left our hotel and walked up the street. Amber got a Google alert of a terrorist incident.There were a couple of police officers already standing at the corner,” Puchmayr said. “It had just happened.They were already out in force.” The couple, who were staying not far from where the attack occurred, were leaving their hotel and debating whether to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge or head downtown when they learned about the terrorist attack.While there was a “very high police presence” in Manhattan,
Puchmayr said there were no other signs of the attack. “The people are so resilient. It is unbelievable. Other than two police officers on each corner last night in Manhattan, one with a shotgun, just in case anyone tried ramming into those massive crowds, people were walking by in their Halloween costumes and getting ready to enjoy their festivities in the evening. The theatres were lined up, people coming in to get their tickets, people with their Rangers jerseys were coming out of the hockey game,” he told the Record
last Wednesday. “It was as if there was no impact. I am sure internally there is some concern, but most of them were freely going about their everyday business as if nothing had happened.” SAVE THE DATE: NOV. 15 The upcoming Urban Challenges forum will be focusing on Truth and Reconciliation: Cities and Citizens. The forum, presented by Douglas College, Simon Fraser University and the City of New Westminster, takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 15 from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave., room 2201. “Truth and reconciliation is spoken about a lot, but what does it actually mean for cities and individual citizens,” said a press release about the event. “Learn some uncomfortable truths of New Westminster history, how the city is responding to truth and reconciliation, and why it’s the responsibility of all citizens to effect change.” The free forum will be moderated by Frank Cunningham from Simon Fraser University and will feature three speakers: Dr.
Gail Edwards, faculty of humanities and social sciences at Douglas College; Rob McCullough, the city’s manager of museums and heritage services; and Dave Seaweed, aboriginal coordinator at Douglas College.

HYACK NAMES NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Brunella Battista has moved up the ranks at the New Westminster Hyack Festival Association to become its new executive director. Battista, who has served as Hyack’s executive assistant since the beginning of the year, has worked in a
variety of roles in the nonprofit sector. “I am a great believer that authenticity, commitment to a larger cause and a positive attitude are fundamental to creating strong relationships and great communities,” she said in a press release. “As an immigrant, I know firsthand that the support system I have in my new community has determined and expanded my own potential. My work is a way to give back.” According to a press release from the Hyack Festival Association, in 2016, Battista managed the community engagement artists for the yearlong Coquitlam 125 celebrations as founder of Artists Rendering Tales Collective Inc., a group dedicated to celebrating local culture and stories through a variety of mediums. In addition to being the past president of the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association, vice-president of the Canadian Marine Environment Protection Society, and an award-winning multimedia artist and videographer, she has taught classes at a variety of locations in the region. “Hyack is thrilled and fortunate to have someone with Brunella’s tremendous energy, capability and vision on board,” said 2011 Hyack president David Brett. “Brunella Battista will be a great asset, not only for Hyack, but the whole community of New Westminster, as she applies herself to fulfilling Hyack’s mission to make New Westminster a better place to live.”
SEEKING LONG-LOST RELATIVES A Norwegian woman is on the hunt for relatives who may be living in New Westminster. In an email to the Record, Hanne Myhre said her research has found that one of her grandmother’s siblings, Hans Andreas Lind, emigrated to the United States in 1924.
“He travelled with SS Cedric from Liverpool to New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada. His wife Simonette Theodora Lind and their son Jan Oskar Iwan Lind Olsen emigrated to Canada in August 1924, some months after Hans Lind.They travelled with ‘Oscar II’ to Halifax, Nova Scotia and from there to New West-
minster, British Columbia,” she wrote. “They had three more sons, born in Canada.Their names were Stanley, Edmond and Kenneth. I can remember them from my childhood.They visited Harstad, Brokvik and Leikvik several times. In Harstad they met many relatives since the rest of the family lived there.” According to Myhre,
Hans Lind died in 1960 and his son Jan died in 1986, but Simonette and sons Edmond, Kenneth and Stanley still lived in the Lower Mainland in the early 1960s. Myhre is excited to hear from anyone with information on her relatives and can be contacted at hanne10@online.no.

Among them is mixedmedia artist Lauren Brevner, who grew up in New Westminster in a family of mixed heritage. In 2009, she moved to Osaka, Japan, in the hopes of reconnecting with her roots. There, she apprenticed under renowned artist Sin Nakayamal and began her own work as an artist. Brevner works out of the Kim Heng Noodle Building, 617 Gore Ave., in a second-floor studio.

Author presents debut novel A New Westminster author is presenting his debut novel with a special event at Renaissance Books on Nov. 15. Patrik Sampler will be on hand from 7 to 9 p.m. for a reading, discussion and open mike as he launches his first novel, The Ocean Container. The Ocean Container is the story of an environmentalist accused of “economic terrorism” by a near-future Canadian government. In response, the activist flees to an encampment for vagrants, where he creates a home in a shipping container.There, he meets a number of strange characters including a clairvoyant, a man
with two right eyes, and a troupe of performance artists. The novel is experimental in form and tackles what Sampler calls a “mashup” of topics. “First, it’s about climate change and the hostility Canada has shown toward those wishing to do something about it,” he said in a press release. “It’s also about the role of artists at a time of political crisis. And it’s psychological, exploring the mind of a virtual prisoner.” Sampler said the road to publication was “torturous,” but the book was picked up by U.S. publisher Ninebark Press, which he calls a “per-
fect match.” “Ninebark is interested in writing that doesn’t fit neatly into one genre, and I think they appreciate the politics of The Ocean Container, too,” he said. At the Renaissance Books event, Sampler will read from the novel and hold a discussion with the audience.There will also be an open mike session for everyone in attendance, and copies of The Ocean Container will be available for sale. Renaissance Books is at 712B 12th St. Check out www.patriksampler.com for more on the book or the author.

City City endorses heritage conservation work plan Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The City of New Westminster has outlined its plan of attack for implementation of a heritage conservation area in Queen’s Park. In June, city council adopted a heritage conservation area for the neighbourhood and outlined four items it wanted to be done once the heritage conservation area (HCA) was adopted. “I’m really happy to see this report step-by-step outlines over the next two years how the city will be engaging in that and the work on the incentive portion, which will occur later this year and then be completed in early 2018,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “I know that was a big part of the discussions we were having, something in the neighbourhood we wanted to make sure we followed through with that.” Council endorsed a work plan for implementation of the HCA and timelines:
an update to the minimum maintenance standards for protected heritage properties bylaw (June 2017 to June 2019); zoning-based incentives for protected properties (this is underway and will be done by May 2018); a study on properties in the “special limited” category (June 2018 to June 2019); and a program to encourage voluntary protection in the HCA of homes built after 1941 (June 2017 to June 2019.) The city has also committed to doing a formal review of the policy in the spring of 2019 to assess the impact of the HCA and analyze the outcomes of the HCA’s design guidelines. The HCA protects houses built in 1940 and earlier, by putting them in an “advanced” (protected) category, which means they require a permit for demolitions, construction to the front, sides or visible roof of the existing building and construction of new buildings and associated land-
scaping. Houses built in 1941 or later are in the “limited” category, which means they aren’t protected, while “special limited” is a temporary category for properties considered to be protected because of their age, but may not be able to realize economic values from possible incentives because of the physical characteristics of their lot and house. Kathleen Langstroth, president of the Queen’s Park Residents’ Association, thanked the city for laying out the work plan for the conservation area. “We know that the conservation area was implemented in June but it had several caveats on it,” she said. “We are pleased to see that there has been schedule for the work plan, and we look forward to holding the city to those deadlines and hopefully having a positive and successful completion of the four sections that still need to be addressed.”

How do I choose the right kitchen cabinetry?
The right kitchen cabinetry can make your kitchen’s functionality, style and budget work. • Glass cabinets open your kitchen to light and space • Flip-up and pocket doors or corner MICHELLE DUPRÉ drawers make cabinets more functional • Traditional? Timeless Shaker style is a sure bet and works with many different counters, hardware and backsplash materials. • Can’t decide between two different styles? Mix and match to make an even bigger impact. • Colorful kitchen cabinetry has made a big comeback. Try playing with two different colors for cabinetry or contrast a single bright color with neutral finishes. • A distressed finish can cover all the bases, offering a warm look that embraces wear and tear. • Clever accessories will make your kitchen comfortable and accessible for everyone who uses it. • Whether building or remodeling, keep universal design in mind.
ASK A CONTRATOR
Q A
What should I expect when requesting a quote from a contractor?
Often contractors give a bottom line price on a job. This could leave the home owner questioning specifics on where their money is JACOB NEUFELD being spent. As a job progresses Owner Operator you may add or eliminate items. With a bottom line price, the homeowner has no way of knowing when they eliminate an item if they are being credited for it. I recommend requesting a quote with an itemized bid. This will outline the costs for all of the aspects of the job. It will give you a better idea of where the money is being spent as you add or eliminate items to your project. Having an itemized quote, will allow the homeowner to see the big picture and prioritize the most important aspects of the project.

ASK A RETIREMENT HOME SPECIALIST
Q A
What are some of the reasons seniors choose retirement living?
From getting to know some of our residents, I’ve learned one of the most common reasons for choosing retirement living is because many individuals simply don’t want to live on their DIYA DADLANI own anymore, and would enjoy the Chartwell Regional Manager Life Enrichment, opportunity to socialize with peers without having to travel from their Western Canada home. At a retirement community, there are many onsite social opportunities that older adults can choose from, should they wish, and many find that having staff available 24/7 brings them a sense of peace of mind. In fact, regular socialization is very beneficial to overall wellness, with many studies showing it can lead to better cognitive health. Statistics Canada research even shows that the greater number of frequent social activities that an older adult participates in, the higher the odds of them reporting positive self-perceived wellness and satisfaction in life. Chartwell Carlton Retirement Residence is a boutique style, independent seniors’ community located at Canada Way and Gilmore. Whether you’re looking to remain active and engaged, or prefer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere, you choose the lifestyle that best suits your needs. Opening 2018 but now accepting reservations!

Remembrance Day Lest We Forget
Group wants to keep veteran’s story alive Honourable Guard raising funds to buy a headstone for FirstWorldWar veteran buried at Fraser Cemetery Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
For veterans buried at Fraser Cemetery without a gravestone, being forgotten could very well happen. But the New Westminster-based Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard wants to make sure that never happens. The group is raising money to buy a headstone for one of the at least six veterans buried at Fraser Cemetery without a headstone. The idea came about thanks to the society’s work with children for its grave-cleaning program.The kids often ask about the unmarked graves, not understanding why the men wouldn’t have headstones, said Rob Rathbun, a member of the Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard. So Rathbun decided to do something about that. The goal is to raise $1,200 to pay for a headstone for William Stevenson. Stevenson, originally from Manitoba, fought in the First World War. After the war, he moved to New Westminster to a home at 315 East Columbia St. (His home would have been right across from the Royal Columbian Hospital at Hospital Street.) He died of a stroke on April 14, 1939. Continued on page 22
Not forgotten: Rob Rathbun and his group, the New Westminster-based Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard, are raising funds to buy a headstone for deceased First World War veteran William Stevenson. PHOTO LISA KING

Lest We Forget
Stevenson had no family in the area and wasn’t married, according to his death records, so there was no one nearby to pay for a headstone.
… it’s been like 80 years and no one’s known who he is. Rathburn hopes by righting what he sees as a wrong made many years ago, Stevenson’s story will finally be told. “The one thing that’s really sad is it’s been like 80 years and no one’s known who he is,” he said. Once they reach their fundraising goal, the society will buy Stevenson the headstone and then hold a dedication ceremony to celebrate, Rathbun said. To donate, go to www.go fundme.com/foom3o.
What remains: Above, the funeral home’s death record for William Stevenson. The First World War veteran lived in New Westminster after the war. He died April 14, 1939. Because he had no family in the area when he passed away, he was never given a gravestone. The Society of the Officers of the Honourable Guard is fundraising to buy him one. At left, Stevenson’s death notice, which appeared in the Columbian newspaper.

Remembrance Day Lest We Forget
The history of the poppy Canadians were introduced to the poppy in 1915 Each November, poppies bloom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians. The significance of the poppy can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. Records from that time indicate how thick poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. During the tremendous bombardments of the war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing the “popaver rhoeas” to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the poppy began to disappear again. The person who first introduced the poppy to Canada and the Commonwealth was Lt.-Col. John McCrae of Guelph, Ont., a Canadian medical officer during the First World War. McCrae penned the poem In Flanders Fields on a scrap

Salute to soldiers: New Westminster residents are invited to attend two Remembrance Day ceremonies in the city on Saturday, Nov. 11. PHOTO RECORD FILES
Remembrance events set Armoury ceremony continues after 99 years A Remembrance Day service has been taking place in the Royal Westminster Regiment Armoury for nearly a century. This year’s Remembrance Day ceremony at the Armoury includes the singing of a hymn, O Canada and God Save the Queen and readings of a series of poems. It also features a speech by Brian McKenna, a retired warrant office from The Royal Westminster Regiment’s army reserves who served in Afghanistan. “We’d appreciate people showing their support, coming out to the event,” said Adjutant Capt. Richard Desaulniers with The Royal Westminster Regiment. “We look forward to another full house.” The regiment’s ceremony starts at 9:45 a.m., but doors open at 8:30 a.m. at
530 Queens Ave. Prior to the main event, people can watch a slide show of images from the First World War and listen to a selection of music played by The Royal Westminster Regiment Band. “If they would like seating, they should definitely get there early,” Desaulniers advised. “Usually about around 9:15 a.m. we are at capacity for seating.We will have some standing room, but those who arrive later than 9:15 probably won’t have any seating.” The service will wrap up at 10:15 a.m., at which time participants will parade to the cenotaph and join the city’s Remembrance Day ceremony in front of New Westminster City Hall.The city’s ceremony, which includes the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph and observ-
ing two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., begins at 10:30 a.m. Karen Baker-MacGrotty, honorary colonel of The Royal Westminster Regiment, said 2017 marks the anniversary of some significant battles from the First World War. “This will be the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele, Hill 70 and Dieppe,” she said. “Our soldiers from The Royal Westminster Regiment – at that time it was the Westminster Regiment – they served in those battles. It’s the 100th anniversary of those battles so there will be some reflection on that.” According to Desaulniers, there has been a Remembrance Day event in the Armoury every year since 1918. – Theresa McManus

Musical tribute to Cash and Carter on at Anvil
Love is a burning thing for Tony Barton and Tracy Neff. The husband-and-wife team of entertainers is taking to the stage on Friday, Nov. 10 with Ring of Fire, their nostalgic musical tribute to the music of Johnny Cash. It’s onstage at 7:30 p.m. at the Anvil Centre. Barton brings Cash to life, while Neff offers up June Carter’s fun-loving, family friendly comedy to shed light on the Man in Black – and remind audiences how June endeared herself to the world of country-western music.
They’re backed by Kyle Radomsky on drums, Goby Catt on bass, Alexander Flock and John Roper on guitar and Mike Sanyshyn on fiddle – with a mariachi duo joining them for memorable tunes such as Ring of Fire, It Ain’t Me and Ghost Riders in the Sky. Both Barton and Neff come to the stage with extensive performing backgrounds. Barton holds a master’s degree in voice performance and has performed in opera, with such roles as Figaro in The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro
and Papageno in Mozart’s The Magic Flute. He has also taken on contemporary roles such as Mark in Rent and Hank Williams in Hank Williams: Lost Highway. In 2003, he played Blue in the off-Broadway company of Blueman Group. He debuted his first tribute show to Frank Sinatra, Blue Eyes Too, after a stint as a singer on Princess Cruise Lines, and devel-
oped a production company, AEB Productions, that now produces and entertains audiences across the continent with four different productions.

to local audiences from her recent turn as Eliza Doolittle in Royal City Musical Theatre’s My Fair Lady. She has also appeared in theatres around the Lower Mainland, including the Stanley, Belfry and Gateway theatres.

indoor snowball fight, live band, and Santa Claus himself live and in person – will return to the Anvil Centre this Christmas season. Anvil Centre is at 777 Columbia St.Tickets for Ring of Fire are $15, $25 and $35, plus service charges, available at www.tickets nw.ca or 604-521-5050. See www.tonybarton.biz/ ring-of-fire for more.

Showdown turns into a shout-out for Hyacks
NewWest cruises past Sun Devils to claimWestern conference title and a bye into B.C. quarter-finals By Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
They weren’t trying to send a message, but what the New Westminster Hyacks said with their performance on Friday was something very impressive – and loud. The top-ranked senior AAA football team closed out the regular season and clinched first place in the Western conference with a one-sided 63-16 victory over the South Delta Sun Devils. Six players shared in the offence, with Sebastian Reid, Lucas Sabau and Sammy Sidhu accounting for two TDs apiece. It was the kind of performance that Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji has been waiting for. “We saved our best game for last and certainly, between the lines, it was our best performance since California (in an exhibition win),” said Lalji. It was positively dominating, and as per New West’s skillset, didn’t hinge on any one big effort, but a smooth team effort. Long runs detonated the blowout early, as Sidhu, from 41 yards, Sabau, on a three-yard push, and Kinsale Philip, with a 50yard quarterback dash, propelled New West into a 21-0 lead. After South Delta put one 11-yard passing play into the end zone, Sidhu closed out the first quarter with an 18-yard run. In the second quarter, Reid struck on back-to-back runs of 33 and 56 yards to give the home team a 43-8 advantage before halftime. In the second half, Sabau, from 43-yards out, Juan Cespedes, on a 20-yard dash, and Michael Kingsley, on a 10-yard carry, capped the fireworks for the Hyacks, who avenged last year’s Kushnir Boot Trophy loss in a big way. The Kushnir Boot is the prize, in honour of former teacher and coach Bill Kushnir, who was a legendary figure at both New West and South Delta schools. “The Kushnir Boot has devel-
Closing the door: New Westminster’s Pavan Kainth, left, and Sammy Sidhu, at right, shut down the options for South Delta – and Western Conference offensive MVP – quarterback Michael Calvert during last Friday’s 63-16 rout at Mercer Stadium. The win clinched first place for New West as well as a bye into the provincial quarterfinals. PHOTO ALAN WARDLE
oped into a legitimate rivalry, as opposed to a manufactured one,” remarked Lalji. “It was nice to get and bring home, but there were many goals from that game we celebrated more, like clinching first place, earning the bye.” The offence stuck strictly to the ground, with Philip making only one pass attempt all game. And considering how the rushing game mowed through the Sun Devils’ defence, it was the right way to go. New West racked up 551 total yards on the day, while holding the Sun Devils to 190 yards. Sidhu accounted for 182 yards on nine carries.Western confer-
ence offensive MVP Michael Calvert was constantly under pressure, as the Hyacks defence put on a blitzing show. Philip finished with a team-high nine tackles and two QB sacks. It’s been a while since the team put such a well-rounded performance together – even while building a 7-0 conference record. This time, the coach said everything looked fairly polished. “We had lots to be happy about but there are still a few fixes, we can still improve on our discipline and eliminate those excess celebrations. ... From an execution standpoint this year I’ve felt every
game (up until Friday) we didn’t play that well. Against South Delta I thought we played well.” New West, which enters the playoffs as the No. 1-seed, now has a week to prepare for the Subway Bowl quarterfinals, where they’ll face the winner of Mount Boucherie and Mount Douglas. Both teams offer dangerous elements and a stiff challenge, said Lalji. Mount Doug has gotten two key players – star quarterback Gideone Kremler, and lineman Phil Grohovac – into the lineup since New West handed them a 29-6 loss in September. “They are a significantly dif-
ferent team with those two in the lineup,” noted Lalji. “But we have to be ready for either outcome, and this week is all about focusing on our game, going over the fundamentals.” In the meantime, Lalji expressed disappointment that only four Hyacks were named to the Western conference all-star team. Offensive lineman Isaiah James and Reid, at receiver, made the offensive team, while linemanYanni Angelopolous and Sidhu, at linebacker, were chosen for the defensive squad.

Royal City runners brave chilly trails
There was a distinct chill in the air, including a bit of seasonal flurries, as a large contingent of runners from across the province converged on Vancouver’s Jericho Park. Members of the Royal City Track and Field Club made sure to make the 2017 B.C. High School cross country championships a success. Grace Fetherstonhaugh withstood a crowded field and was strong in finishing second, trailing just Oak Bay’s Justine Stecko. Fetherstonhaugh, a Grade 12 athlete at New Westminster Secondary, kept pace with Stecko over the first half of the 4.6-kilometre course, but the Island runner gained some distance down
the stretch to win it in 17:01 minutes. Fetherstonhaugh’s time was 17:23. Coming in 30th was Burnaby Central’s Ashlynne Stairs, with a time of 19:08. RCTFC’s Alex Romero of Burnaby Mountain put down a strong performance in placing 18th in senior boys, with a time of 24:21 minutes, just 1:03 behind R.E. Mountain’s Zack Wyatt. Finishing 33rd overall was Burnaby South’s and Royal City’s Shea Janke, with a closing time of 25:02. Royal City also saw a bronze medal result for junior girls’ and New West native Katie Stewart-Barnett, with a time of 18:08 minutes.The St.Thomas More student’s final time was among the top-
10 best times by any female on the day. In seventh spot was Royal City’s Isabella Brunoro, for Burnaby Mountain.
GLENBROOK JUST SHY OF TOP-10 The Glenbrook Middle School’s cross country runners showed strength in small numbers, with their four runners propelling the team to 11th place at the B.C. High School cross country championships last week in Vancouver. Competing in the junior girls division against runners up to Grade 10, the Glenbrook Grade 8 team got standout efforts, with Sophie Crowther placing 26th, Monika Arcadi 103rd, Kaitlyn Long at 106th, and Max MacinnesCann in 199th out of 249 runners.

Track awards for Royal City athletes
Young track stars Monika Arcadi and EllieYong likely didn’t think about the possible bonus that comes when you enjoy another terrific season. After all, like their teammates at the Royal City Track and Field Club, the main goal is to achieve their best each time out. So, last week’s presentation where the two were presented with awards at the Annual B.C. Athletics Junior Development Awards Banquet was just gravy. Arcadi, a 13-year-old New West native, was recognized for her performance in the high jump, reaching 1.50 metres, while Burnaby’s Yong, 10, posted a slick 9.21-second finish in the 60-metre sprint. Club coach Sean Dixon said both have been trending upwards for a while. “The coaches are just happy when they have such hard working athletes going out to compete every week,” he said. “Monika continued to set new personal bests as the season progressed.” Arcadi, who also competes in middle distance events, is coached by Hannah Dixon. ForYong, it was the second
consecutive year she received the award. “Last year Ellie put up a top10 finish in the sprint. She is just fast,” added Dixon. “She’s always been fast but I remember when she put up the (9.21) race in Coquitlam. She’s competed against kids one year older and it hasn’t fazed her a bit.” Yong is coached by Frances Hanson-Monnie. FIRST-TIMER SCOOPS UP MEDAL A first-timer was one of the medal winners last week at the B.C. Masters Cup taekwondo competition. Competing in his first meet, 19-year-old Evan Taylor captured the dan bo belt’s gold medal. Joining him with a gold medal was New Westminster Secondary’s Andrei Georgescu, who as a Grade 9 athlete won in black belt. Both Taylor and Georgescu are members of New West’s OMAC Taekwondo. Picking up a silver in dan bo belt was Grade 11 Misho Rusev, while Vincent Zhang, a Grade 9 student at Burnaby Mountain, took bronze in black belt.

October 6, 1929 - October 24, 2017 Audrie left her footprints in our hearts as she peacefully slipped away to join the love of her life (Ron Nielsen, September 26, 1929 - February 3, 2004). Mom will be missed by her son Randy (granddaughter Kate and grandson Dan (Vickie) who delighted her with four great-grandchildren; daughter Holley, daughter Tammy (Hunter) and her two children Paige and Wyatt, who were the apple of their Nana’s eye. Born in rural Wawota, Saskatchewan with her family of nine during the depression Mom was a champion at recycling! Audrie’s devotion was for her family; she was creative and curious, always engaged and interested in the world. She lived with passion and compassion, in good humour and style, with generosity and kindness. Music and song were her oxygen; a cup of orange pekoe tea her elixir. No amount of thank you is enough for the Nurses and Care Aids at Eagle Ridge Manor and her music therapist Katherine. Companion Miriam and son Ali’s love gave her final few years exceptional quality for which we are eternally grateful for. Please join us at 2pm to share refreshments, music and memories in the Fireside Lounge on November 24, 2017 at Burquitlam Funeral Chapel (located at the Side Entrance) at 625 North Road, Coquitlam. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer Society would be appreciated.
A Funeral Service will be held at The Salvation Army 325 Sixth Street, New Westminster, on Thursday, November 9th, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Burial to follow at 12:30 at Fraser cemetery 100 Richmond Street, New Westminster.
