Innovation Week, being held from Feb. 23 to March 3, is shaping up to be an action-packed week with events for folks of all ages and a variety of interests.

Innovation Week 2018 features a wide variety of activities, including an opening reception, a hackathon, children and youth workshops, a public art tour, a townhall for non-profits, a business and tech meetup, a Smart Cities Dialogue, a transportation forum, a visit from the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission, a Livable Cities event, Inspiration Day and the PechaKucha New West. And guess what? Most of the events are free. See page 6 for more information about this year’s Innovation Week events.

The New Westminster Progressive Electors Coalition plans to run candidates for mayor, city council and school board in this year’s municipal election. Daniel Fontaine, a founding member of the coalition, recently announced the group had received approvals to form a non-profit society. Its next step is to form a registered electoral organization. “You can just go and become an electoral association, but we felt that it would be, from a transparency perspective and from a governance perspective, really good for us to have a non-profit society,” he said. “We are intending to be around well past the next election, so it would allow us a bit of a framework to work just beyond the formalized elector process.” The coalition established in November 2017 with the goal of putting forward new ideas and a diversity of opinions at city hall. About 70 people attended the group’s inaugural neighbourhood networking night on Jan. 18. “We were very thrilled.We anticipated 20 to 30 people, and we got an overwhelming response,” Fontaine said. “It was a mix-andmingle, but we did have announcement to make. I did announce that evening that we had just received approval to form a nonprofit society.We had just received all our paperwork from Victoria.” According to Fontaine, people attending the recent networking event included residents who have been affiliated with the Continued on page 3

Want a spare block? You’ll have to apply By Cayley Dobie

New Westminster Secondary students who want an extra study block or two will have to apply for them. The change comes two weeks after Grade 11 student Kinsale Philip launched a petition calling on the school district to reinstate study blocks after school administration announced that next year’s Grade 12 students would have to take a full course load of eight classes. Philip, quarterback for the varsity Hyacks football team, had been planning for his final year since Grade 10, as had many of his fellow students. He’d received nearly all the credits he needed to graduate and had planned on taking the remaining two next fall and then graduate early in January. But the new mandate meant he’d have to fill his schedule with six other classes, keeping him in school until June. More than 1,300 people signed Philip’s petition, and, after some deliberation between NWSS staff and the school district, students will now be able to apply for extra study blocks. “Students that require the flexibility for various reasons, whether they’ve taken online or summer courses to free up time in their

schedule, or perhaps they’re elite performers or athletes that require a different kind of schedule to accommodate various levels of training, all those will be considered and accommodated by a study block application,” associate superintendent Karim Hachlaf told the Record. The intention of the application process is to create a dialogue between the school, students and parents, ultimately improving engagement at the high school, Hachlaf added. Last week, NWSS principal John Tyler met with students and the parent advisory council to explain the new process and to reduce any anxiety students or parents felt over the change, Hachlaf said. He admits the change to study blocks could have been implemented in a more transparent way and that the whole situation would have benefited from a thorough consultation with senior students. “It’s not about phasing out study blocks; it was about engaging in a more formalized process,” Hachlaf said. “We’ll need to adapt accordingly as more changes certainly come on the horizon with the redesigned curriculum.We’d like to keep this open and keep the engagement with our students ongoing.”

‘I am looking at all my options’: Fontaine Continued from page 1 NDP, B.C. Green Party, federal and provincial Liberal parties and federal Conservatives. “It was a real mix of people, which is what the whole coalition part is about,” he said. “As I indicated to the committee and to the group that was assembled there, it’s really important to me and it’s really important to the New Westminster Progressives that we leave all these provincial and federal political influences at the door and that we work together and that we put New

Westminster first.” Fontaine said the number 1 thing he heard from people attending the recent gathering was a concern that all seven members of city council were endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council, something he doesn’t think is healthy for democracy. “We need to have different perspectives,” he said. “We need to have some folks on council that are not all from the same political organization.” While the coalition is in-

tending to run candidates for mayor, councillor and school trustee, Fontaine said it won’t be seeking to fill all the positions on city council and the board of education. “I don’t know the exact number of people that will run – it will really depend who approaches and who is interested in running and making sure they are really good, top-quality candidates – but what I can tell you is that the volunteers on the steering committee have been very clear that we are not going to run a full slate

for school board and for the council,” he said. “We really feel it’s important that there be at least one or two voices that, if the electorate were to vote all New West Progressives, that we would not control 100 per cent of council or school board.We just don’t think that that is good governance.” And just what does Fontaine say about speculation that he plans to run for mayor? “I am looking at all my options. I am looking at the community response to the New West Progressives, and

I am seeing how many people are signing up at the neighbourhood nights for volunteering,” he said. “I have said to the group, if I see there is a real groundswell of support and grassroots support from the community that is encouraging people like me to put their names forward.” Fontaine said the coalition will be establishing a process for selecting and announcing its candidates, with an announcement expected in May or June. Normally held in November, this year’s election is on

Saturday, Oct. 20. “It is going to be here before we know it. I keep telling everyone, if you think you have lots of time, nine months is basically a blink of an eye. And because the election is happening in October, not November this year, it has changed the dynamic a bit.Typically, you’d open up your campaign office after Labour Day and all that stuff, but now it’s backed up into August,” Fontaine said. “Summer campaigning – it will be interesting to watch.”

GOOGLE FIVE STAR REVIEWS! We were extremely impressed with Lyle & Sandy’s enthusiasm in assisting us to sell our property. We live on a busy street, so knew the challenges we would have. Lyle & Sandy gave us confidence that their marketing plan would bring a successful sale. They informed us of the local property market & assisted us to price our home competitively. One weekend, two open houses produced four offers. We sold in one week 4% above asking. Just like that. Couldn’t have asked for a better result. They are a fantastic team. And for a flat fee, no less!! Cudos to them both!! - Barb Harding 914 10th Ave, New West

As first time home buyers we needed A LOT of help. Lyle and Sandy have been nothing short of incredible in helping us with everything from advice to organizing needed documents to referrals for other services to being a listening ear to our complaints on ridiculous property prices! We couldn’t have asked for friendlier, more helpful, client-first people to assist us in this huge part of our lives.

From the start we liked Sandy and Lyle. We had to move quickly on our sale and they made it happen quickly. We had one open house and multiple offers and sold considerably over asking. They were very knowledgeable and offered alot of advice. We were very pleased and will use them again in the future, we highly recommend them. - Maria Ann Marchioni & Santino Marchioni 519 Twelfth St, New West I worked primarily with Lyle in buying my first condo unit. In my experience, he was able to properly inform me of the blunt realities of today’s aggressive GVR housing market while still maintaining a low-pressure approach that respected my priorities and boundaries - even when my perspective wasn’t necessarily realistic. Both Lyle and Sandy struck me as keenly knowledgeable and perceptive: I remember marveling as they cruised through two apartment units, pointing out a stunning assortment features big and small, dissecting their details and expounding upon their greaterof significance like art historians at the National Gallery. My advice, if you’re like me and just starting off in this real estate stuff, is to make the most of this strength of theirs. They are remarkably friendly and responsive: ask them all the questions you can, big picture and minutiae. Buying real estate is emotional and you can easily get swept away by it all - it is essential as a real estate rookie that you get smarter and make informed, clinical decisions. I have every confidence that Lyle and Sandy can and do ensure that for their clients.

News Judge dismisses ex-student’s claim against college Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A judge has dismissed a Burnaby woman’s claim that Douglas College misrepresented its Aboriginal stream program. Agnes Tong presented her case against the NewWestminster-based college before a judge in small claims court this month. She argued she Presented by:

was owed $3,700 by Douglas College after it failed to provide her with a certificate of completion after she finished its eight-month Aboriginal stream program, part of the college’s child, family and community studies faculty. Tong was accepted into the program in July 2015 and she began her studies in September of that year. She

completed the program in April 2016.Tong, who is a lawyer herself, intended to use the credential to help her find a job in the field of child protection law, but when she finished the program, she was issued an unofficial document that only recognized her attendance. On Jan. 4, a judge dismissed Tong’s suit but declined the college’s request

to have Tong pay both parties’ court fees. “I’m not really surprised,” Tong said of the decision. “I’m just by myself going up against a pretty large entity, and I believe what I presented to the court was valid and, to me, I felt there was quite the case to find negligent misrepresentation.” Douglas College wasn’t surprised by the judge’s de-

cision either, according to associate vice-president of public affairs Dave Taylor. “The result speaks for itself,” he told the Record. “The complaint, we feel, was without merit and the student didn’t complete a credential, so she didn’t receive one. Ultimately, there was nothing to the claim.” The Aboriginal stream program is a 16.5-credit,

part-time program and is considered a stepping stone for other programs, according to Taylor. “It’s simply four courses that are designed to ladder into several of our credential courses, and that’s clearly stated in all our materials,” he added. Tong said she hasn’t decided whether she will appeal the decision.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Any transit decision requires vision, guts

Which would you prefer? 1.Tolls on bridges being brought back. 2. Being charged a monthly fee based on how many kilometres you drove and what zones you drove to and from, or 3. None of the above. Our guess is that the majority of drivers would choose the third option. Hence, the very challenging exercise of coming up with solid recommendations on how to relieve congestion in the Lower

Mainland. The Mobility Pricing Independent Commission released a report last week that was the first step in trying to come up with a way to decrease congestion and also help pay for future transit improvements. It’s a tough balance. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said: “We keep trying to find a way to reduce congestion, but I don’t know that having people pay more is going to significantly change the

traffic patterns in the Lower Mainland.” We have to disagree. The proof is pretty simple.When the NDP took tolls off of the bridges, traffic increased. Even Corrigan’s own city councillors acknowledge this.The problem is that placing tolls on bridges that working-class folks and truckers need to cross just to make a living starts looking like just another tax on the poor as opposed to a balanced approach to trans-

portation in the Lower Mainland. As the commission’s report noted, in five European countries that implemented mobility pricing, the level of support for instituting such a system before the change was very low. But once it was in and working, support rose dramatically. Not surprising. The problem, as usual, is that politicians are very reluctant to put in a system that is unpopular to begin

with. That kind of political will requires vision and guts. And, as we’ve seen in the past in the Lower Mainland, politicians would much prefer to put the onus on another level of government to pay for transit than tackle the tough decisions. The commission is working its way through the issues, and collecting input. It seems fair to say that it is leaning towards a mixed system.You can’t be pe-

nalizing drivers who have no access to public transit, and letting those who have access to public transit get a free pass when they use their fancy cars to clog up downtown corridors. The question is not whether the commission can come up with recommendations.The question will be the same one we always face: will politicians have the intestinal fortitude to implement a system that many voters won’t like.

MY VIEW DON BOUTIN

In defence of our ﬁreplaces Your Jan. 11 edition’s front-page story, “Fireplaces have to go?” by Theresa McManus, was very well done. Steve Norman, a fellow New Wester with four fireplaces (I only have one) said some convincing, eloquent, common sense things, two examples of which are: “…studies show New Westminster is already below the air quality proposals that Metro Vancouver is aiming to achieve by 2023”; and “what are you going to do about all the other atmospheric causes? Fireplaces, I think, are a minor part of it.” I know my fireplace is dirty. However, is it significantly toxic enough to deprive me of its use, for which, like most humans, I harbour a primal affection? Here I openly state my bias toward Mr. Norman and his four hearths (oh, the envy!). Now that my bias is revealed, let’s look at just a few comments from Julie Saxton, the Metro Vancouver air quality specialist who has raised this wood burning fireplace elimination issue. Ms. Saxton repeats “fine particulate matter” several times, with ominous inflection, but never explains what that is. Since these particulates are from wood, perhaps she means carbon, which contributes to a greener and healthier landscape (that’s why fires are actually good for a forest). I’m no scientist, but I’d far rather stand next to a wood fire than the belching stack of an 18-wheeler. Ms. Saxton also says that “open

hearth fireplaces are emitting 10 times more particulates per hour than other sources.” Does that mean all other sources? Or perhaps a single source, such as, say, just one of those big trucks that are ubiquitous on the roads? I would think, other than being parked for maintenance, that a single truck is belching pretty much 24-7-365, while my fireplace fumes once or twice a month for two hours in the winter. Ms. Saxton relates that fireplaces cause “pretty significant” emissions. How pretty? How significant? What emissions, exactly? OK, enough of my layman reactions to Ms. Saxton’s expert opinions. I think it best to let two people quoted in your article conclude my observations and opinions here. First, Kathleen Langstroth, president of the Queen’s Park Residence Association: “Langstroth believes the proposed regulations could be an issue for New Westminster residents because of the large number of heritage houses in the city.” I completely agree. Second, Julie Saxton: “It’s been hard to convince people to believe the data.” Again, I completely agree. So, at least for now, the fireplace police will have to pry my New Westminster hearth from my cold, dead, Great White North Canadian fingers. Don Boutin is a NewWestminster resident.

Couldn’t escape dog’s grip

A 12-year-old Queensborough girl was still recovering months later after being attacked by a large dog in the 300 block of Pembina and Fenton streets in August.The girl had been escorting her younger brother to the store and the two had been walking through a greenspace in the area when a Rottweiler-Lab cross came out, “bit her hand and threw her around like a rag doll,” according to New Westminster police Staff Sgt. Casey Dehaas.The kids tried to hit the dog with a stick, he said, but nothing would loosen its grip.When the girl finally got free, her torn and mutilated hand required nearly 70 stitches.

Letters Pedestrian safety is key Dear Editor: I would like to make a shout-out to the city for improving pedestrian safety in the city. I love living in the uptown part of the city where I can walk to stores, restaurants, banks,etc. But there have been some safety concerns. After years of watching seniors with walkers in front of Century House trying to navigate four lanes at the crosswalk with less time to do so than at Sixth and Sixth, the light now provides more time for people to cross and actually responds more quickly to let pedestrians cross – so our less patient pedestrians have no reason to run across a red light. This morning, I was delighted to see that one of the most dangerous crosswalks in the city – the one between Tim Hortons and London Drugs – now has a light and signage to indicate that there is a crosswalk there. In the past, I have had numerous close calls in this crosswalk. Now, pedestrians can do their part by not walking out into traffic, by driving their scooters safely – not in the middle of the road – and being aware that when wearing dark clothes on dark, rainy days they need to be extra cautious since drivers may not be able to see them. Bravo to the city for making New Westminster a more pedestrian-friendly city! Sharon Blackwell, New Westminster

Ban fireplaces already Dear Editor: I was surprised to learn that New Westminster hadn’t banned open hearth fireplaces already. While some homes may use their fireplaces occasionally for special events

four or five times a year, many people suffer 365 days a year with respiratory difficulties. In my neighbourhood, there are at least three or four homes with fireplaces. The smoke that is emitted from their chimneys can be smelled inside other people’s homes. Recently, the black smoke that came from one chimney was so toxic looking that it could not be from wood burning but trash or something else, and who knows what toxins were in the air that day! I look forward to the day when all woodburning fireplaces are banned throughout our city and the Greater Vancouver area. Mabel Hadden, New Westminster

WE CAN HELP YOU LOOK AND FEEL YOUR BEST!

Kudos to NWSS student Dear Editor: Re: Taking it to the top, the Record, Jan. 18. I want to commend Kinsale Philip for speaking out against New Westminster Secondary’s ridiculous policy. Philip hit the nail on the head when he said that removing spare blocks will make it more challenging for students to hone in on their passions. I graduated a decade ago and can remember how valuable that spare time was for personal development. I spent it focusing on the studies and electives that I enjoyed, and so did most of my classmates. The school’s argument that a full course schedule “increases school engagement” is theatre at its best, and a misguided power trip at its worst. It’s senseless to force individuals on the brink of adulthood to engage in the study of electives that they have next to no interest in. Shame on Mr. Tyler for assuming his students would take this lying down. Amanda Siebert, New Westminster

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The purpose of Zoning Amendment Bylaw No 7953, 2018 is to exempt from ﬂoor space calculations the area occupied by additional wall insulation for single-detached homes achieving the top three levels of the BC Energy Step Code. The proposed Bylaw Amendment would also permit increased building height to allow for deeper insulation in the roof assembly and foundation for single detached homes achieving the top level of the BC Step Code or Passive House certiﬁcation.

WHAT ARE PASSIVE DESIGN INCENTIVES FOR SINGLE DETACHED ZONES?

For ground-oriented residential such as single detached homes, thicker insulated wall assemblies are essential to achieving the thermal performance and occupant comfort requirements of the highest energy standards like Net Zero Energy and Passive House, as well as ‘next step’ energy standards such as Energy Star and R2000. The proposed bylaw amendments would be applicable to new, high performance single detached homes in the RS-1 and RS-5 Single Detached Dwelling Districts, NR-1 and NR-5 Neighbourhood Residential Dwelling Districts and RQ-1 Queensborough Neighbourhood Residential Dwelling District.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

The proposed bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Division at City Hall 10 business days prior to the Public Hearing, January 15, 2018 to January 29, 2018.

New West residents perform with Vancouver Opera Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster residents are part of Vancouver Opera’s L’elisir d’amore, onstage now at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The opera (known in English as The Elixir of Love) features a lovestruck man, a village beauty, an army captain and a travel-

ling doctor with a magic potion – all set, in this incarnation, in an early 1900s Canadian town.The opera, one of the most well-known of the bel canto era and the most performed of all Donizetti’s operas, hadn’t been seen in Vancouver since 1999 until the Vancouver Opera production opened on Jan. 21. It’s onstage again tonight (Jan. 25) and Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m., starring soprano Ying

Fang, tenor Andrew Haji, bass-baritone Stephen Hegedus and baritone Brett Polegato.

Community

Refurbished bicycles looking for new owners NewWestminster Secondary bike maintenance students are hoping to donate the bikes to kids in need Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Students at New Westminster Secondary School are looking for a few deserving people to receive a special gift. Students in Daniel Lee’s bike maintenance class at the high school have refurbished several childrens’ and adult bicycles, and they

are hoping to donate them to people who might not be able to afford a brand new bike. “We got a handful of kids’ bikes that were in decent condition, so I just got some of the kids … to fix those up to donate. I just want to get the bikes to kids,” Lee told the Record. Lee is hoping the community will be able to con-

nect him with a family inneed that can’t afford to buy their kids bikes. Grade 9 student Ayden Cummings and Grade 10 student Perry Lemieux were part of the group that helped fix up the bikes for donating. “Some were just pretty basic repairs, cleaning them up, fixing up the tires. Some of them we had to do

a bunch of stuff,” Lemieux said. Both students are avid cyclists – their preferred sport is mountain biking – and they were happy to work on the project if it means more kids will be able to experience cycling, they said. “I think it’s a good way to socialize, first of all. Because if you’re doing a sport that a lot of other people do,

it’s a great way to connect with other people,” Cummings said. “Just enjoy the sport,” Lemieux added. “I personally love it because there’s really no rules to it, you can do whatever you want. Just showing younger kids, especially, that you don’t have to be stuck inside playing video games, you can go out and explore.”

The boys have also repaired a few adult bikes, too, and they’re also available for donation. So far, Lee said he’s been contacted by a couple of people interested in the bikes. If anyone knows anybody deserving of a bike (kids or adults), they’re asked to contact Lee at dlee@sd40. bc.ca.

New West supports Alzheimer awareness Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Alzheimer Society of British Columbia wants to help put an end to the stigma of dementia. According to the society, a recently released online survey of 1,500 Canadians between 18 and 65 years found that 46 per cent of respondents would feel ashamed or embarrassed if they had dementia, while 61 per cent of those surveyed said they would face some kind of discrimination.The survey also found that one in four Canadians believe their family and friends would avoid them if they were diagnosed with dementia and only five per cent of Canadians would learn more about dementia if a family member, friend or co-worker was diagnosed. “Stigma significantly affects the well-being of people living with dementia,” Maria Howard, chief executive officer of the Alzheimer Society, said in a press release. “In order to build a dementia-friendly society, we need to move away from fear and denial of the disease, towards awareness and

understanding.” The society recently kicked off a new social awareness campaign – “I live with dementia. Let me help you understand,” in which people affected by dementia are sharing their stories as a way of sparking conversations and encouraging Canadians to see dementia differently.The society released the survey’s finding to coincide with Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in January. New Westminster city council recently proclaimed January as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in the Royal City. “This month is to accomplish many goals.The goal I’d like to make sure we all really understand is to reduce the stigma of the words Alzheimer’s and dementia. By proclaiming those words and proclaiming them for an entire month, we are all attempting to do that,” Susan Prosser, support and education coordinator for First Link at the Alzheimer Society of B.C., recently told council. “There’s many people in our community who have dementia.We have a strong seniors’ component

The city proclaims:

" Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are degenerative brain disorders that affect people across British Columbia. " The social, emotional and financial impacts of dementia are felt by everyone, including people living with dementia, their families, caregivers and communities.

" The stigma leads to many people living with dementia and their families to fear exclusion and differential treatment. " Early detection provides individuals and families with the chance to adjust to their diagnosis and plan for the future. " All British Columbians need to be better informed

in New West.” Prosser thanked New Westminster city council for its efforts, which included becoming the first municipal council in B.C. to build a dementia friendly action plan. “You can hardly find anyone whose family isn’t in some way touched by dementia or Alzheimer’s. I know our family is struggling with a family member who has got Alzheimer’s.We are all quite proud that the City of New Westminster is leading the way in terms of becoming a dementiafriendly community and are continuing to do policy work to say, ‘What does that actually mean from a community standpoint?’” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “As cities continue to age and demographics begin to age, I think it’s going to become more critically important for communities to make sure that they are being inclusive and accessible and are thinking about these types of things like dementia and Alzheimer’s.” For more info, visit www. alzheimerbc.org.To read the full survey, visit ilivewith dementia.ca.

about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia and work to create more supportive and inclusive communities. " The City of New Westminster is committed to achieving meaningful outcomes for people with dementia and their caregivers that are person-centred and effective.

Counsellors lend an ear to seniors Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New West seniors in need of a little support don’t have far to go for help. The Senior Peer Counselling program is a free program for people 50 and up in New Westminster, in which the counsellors provide emotional support and empathetic listening to their peers.The volunteers have been trained by a professional coordinator, who also oversees the program. “We are peers. People feel much more comfortable talking to someone of their own age,” said Clare Andersen, chair of the Senior Peer Counselling group at Century House. “We have been professionally trained. We are listeners.We receive weekly education.” The program operates under the belief that seniors recognize their peers have similar life experiences and often use “a common language” that can be a source of inspiration. By focusing

on helping seniors discover their own strengths, the counsellors help seniors to maintain their autonomy and to remain independent in the community. “People don’t really listen to people.They try to tell them what they should do,” Andersen said. “We feel that people themselves have the answers within them to know what to do – they just need to be able to talk, and eventually the answer will come to them.” Loss, bereavement, anxiety, grief, isolation, loneliness, family issues and financial constraints are some of the challenges that seniors can discuss with the peer counsellors. Andersen said the program is also helpful to seniors who are caregivers, as they often need someone to talk to because they spend so much of their time looking after someone else. If issues arise during the sessions that are beyond the scope of the counsellors, they’re able to recommend

other programs, such as Vital Connections, a professional counselling program that’s also offered at Century House. Counsellors and clients meet once a week for an hour at a time in a location that’s convenient to both parties. “We keep everything confidential,” Andersen stressed. Since its inception, the Senior Peer Counselling program has worked with more than 2,000 clients. The program has space for new clients and wants to get the word out to local seniors about its services. “What happens is we

Seniors aged 65 or older, who live alone in a single-family residence and are the registered owner of the property, are able to apply to receive a 25 per cent waiver to their 2018 residential flat rate utilities.

have cyclical things. I think we get a lot of clients prior to Christmas, and then we had a training class last year and they graduated in the spring, so we have a few extra counsellors – more than we had last year. It’s great,” said Andersen. “There are so many people out there who need our help, and we provide it with no fees.” If you feel this program may help you, call 604519-1064 (line 1) and leave a message.You can also leave your name and number requesting a callback at the front desk of Century House, 620 Eighth St.

plication to residents who received the reduction last year. Any seniors who didn’t receive a waiver application in the mail can pick one up at: Century House (620 Eighth St.); the finance department at city hall (511 Royal Ave.); the Queensborough Community Centre (920 Ewen Ave.); Centennial Community Centre (65 East Sixth Ave.); or online at www.newwestcity.ca/ services/online-forms.

Arts & Entertainment Catch Silent Party Music at Way Off-Broadway show Devon More is back in the spotlight for Way OffBroadway Wednesdays. More, who created and curates the fringe performance series that runs weekly at the Heritage Grill, is presenting her solo show Silent Party Music on Jan. 31. It was the show that launched her onto the fringe circuit in 2014. Silent Party Music follows a hard-partying, hyperactive bartender who follows another of her last-minute whims –and finds herself facing 10 days of total sensory deprivation at a remote silent meditation retreat.

“Can she shut up and meditate? Could you?” asks a press release. The show, based on More’s own experiences, is set to original music. “Slipping seamlessly from sultry songs to self-deprecation, and from lyrical poetry to temper tantrums, Silent Party Music is dynamic, playful and immersive,” the release says. As with all Way OffBroadway Wednesday shows, showtime is 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Audience members are invited to make a donation, on a pay-what-you-want basis.

In search of silence: Devon More is back in the Way Off-Broadway Wednesday spotlight with her show Silent Party Music. It’s on at the Heritage Grill on Wednesday, Jan. 31.

You can just show up, or you can reserve a table ahead of time by calling 604-759-0819. The Heritage Grill is at 447 Columbia St. For all the details about the Way Off-Broadway performances, see www.face book.com/WayOffWed.

Drinking Habits, by Tom Smith, is set to run at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park from Feb. 1 to 25.

Everything starts to go wrong when two snooping reporters, Paul and Sally, show up and go undercover in the convent as a nun and priest. Their presence, combined with the addition of a new nun, spurs paranoia through the convent that spies have been sent from Rome to shut them down. Accusations, mistaken identities and romances run wild in the Lower Mainland premiere of the play. NicolaWatson and Jennifer Kennedy star as Sister Philomena and Sister

10 Things to look for in a great independent school

A private or independent school will provide your child with an academically rigorous environment in which education infiltrates all aspects of his or her life. However, for many parents, choosing the right private school is challenging. The most important things to look for in a private school depends primarily on the student’s needs. As such, the majority of the following items (without a particular order) represent subjective things for you to consider when selecting a private school. 1. Reputation

What do current and former students think about their education? Do alumni believe that their private school prepared them for the next stages of their lives? Do parents believe that they received appropriate value for their tuition? 2. Academic offerings

Learn as much as you can about the school’s educational program. What curriculum is used? How does it go beyond the BC curriculum? Are you seeking a specific discipline (i.e. biology, engineering, math, visual arts, physical education)? Does the school specialize in a certain discipline? Does the school offer Advanced Placement classes? Is it an International Baccalaureate institution? Does your child require English as a

Second Language (ESL) instruction or are you looking for a bilingual education? 3. The school’s philosophy

What is the school’s general stance on education? Numerous private schools have educational outlooks that diverge from the mainstream. So, you should identify how a given school educates children and whether you agree with that approach. What are the policies on evaluation and assessment? Homework? Standardized testing, why or why not? 4. Size of school

Consider where your son or daughter would work best. Are you more comfortable in a big sea or a little sea? What is the school’s average class size?

a students from various cultural backgrounds could expose him or her to new lifestyles, languages and cultural traditions that can help expand their knowledge of the world and foster acceptance. 7. Tour impression

When on tour, ask to sit in on a couple of classes. What is the relationship between patrons and teachers? Teachers and students? Were you impressed with the school when you visited it? How did it make you feel? Did your child seem comfortable there? Your gut instincts will tell you a lot about the fit of a school for your family.

8. Extracurricular activities

These programs are an important part of a well-rounded education. Does the school have a wide variety of extracurricular activities? Do you think that your child would be interested in any of them? 9. Cost

Is it affordable? Are there any extra costs beyond tuition? Could you work out flexible payment plans with the school? 10. Your child’s opinion

Does your child like the school? You should allow him or her to have a say in the decision.

5. Feeder schools

Plenty of elementary schools have affiliate high schools. Such an arrangement could help ease the transition between these two levels of education. The lower level school could significantly reduce the stress of going to high school, while the upper level institution will have an excellent grasp on what your child’s former teachers taught him or her. Also ask about which schools students move onto after graduation. 6. Cultural background of the students

Urban Academy - A Rich Story and Bright Future It has all the makings of a legendary story. Heritage manors rich with history and lore, plot twists that keep the readers guessing, lead characters full of undeterred grit and passion charging forth to a powerful vision. One may think that this is the narrative of a fairy tale, and it may just be. However, this story is also one belonging to one of the fastest growing private schools in the region: New Westminsterâ€™s Urban Academy. Started in 2001 by three founding families in the basement of Sappertonâ€™s Knox Church, the first plot twist happened as fire ripped through the newly minted school with only a handful of students. The founders, full of hope and belief in their community-minded school, did not let that this deter them, and went on to re-open their doors with

The New Westminster Museum is currently featuring an exhibit called Bottoms Up: The Cultures of Drink in the Royal City. From the earliest days, New Westminster was a hub for taverns, billiards rooms and oyster saloons, where the thirsty were invited to imbibe. “In 1880, there was one saloon for every 13 people,” says Barry Dykes, an archivist with the city. “New Westminster was famous for having the most bar seats of any city in B.C.” By the mid 20th century, sailors followed well-

established pub crawls though the downtown. Others enjoyed tea parties and shops like the Mecca Tea Room. WHAT’S SCRIPTS AND SIPS ALL ABOUT?

3X Brighter Than The Sun And It Won’t Burn Your Skin!

Pretty amazing, huh? LED light technology, the highly acclaimed and widely documented therapy, is actually 3X brighter than the sun when it’s applied to your skin. So KATIE MARSHALL why doesn’t it burn? Because it uses low-level pulses of red and/or infrared lights to activate skin cells, which is actually healing to your body! LED converts the light energy already found in skin cells to promote healing and anti-aging effects. It also pulls collagen to the surface to ﬁll in lines and wrinkles. Studies show that skin exposed to LED light grows by 150-200% faster. The reason is simple. Your skin has a high blood water content. That means it absorbs the light, (in this case the color red) quickly increasing the natural healing process.

Q A

When is my pet a senior? What signs should I be watching for?

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

What did January look like 130 years ago? Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

As we move towards the end of the first month of 2018, it might be interesting to look back to the end of a much earlier January – back 130 years to 1888 to see what was newsworthy at that time in the Royal City. If some of the early residents were still entertaining, they might have wanted some liquid refreshment to add to their festivities. Perhaps the popular store of Eb Brown would have just what they wanted, as he had just brought in a large shipment on the sailing vessel Viola. Among the recent arrivals were Bass India Pale Ale, Guinness Stout, champagne and clarets. The snow was rapidly disappearing as there had been “abundant rainfall” and the “strong wind … had the effect of breaking up a large quantity of ice on the river

… and the tide carried it out into the gulf.” And speaking of ice, what was done all those years ago by companies that needed ice for freezing later in the year? They gathered it in winter and put it away for use as needed.We read in late January 1888 that 750 tons of ice had been “put up for D W Port and Co’s fish freezing establishment.” It had been gathered from the North Arm of the Fraser and some was 11 inches thick. An interesting form of entertainment was scheduled at the Herring Opera House.This was to be a foot race for which the opera house would be reconfigured to create a “track” on which the competitors would run, until one runner completed the set distance, in this case, 10 miles. This race was to be between Messrs Stokes and Myers, “the former allowing the lat-

ter five minutes of a start.” (The race didn’t happen. It seems it “was somewhat abruptly interrupted by the arrest of Myers. It is said that the Vancouver police have a charge against him.”) One fellow who would become very well known in the area for his businesses, his interest in lacrosse and horse racing, as well as his extensive community involvement, was Joe Quoi. In late January 1888, an article lets the town know that Quoi has opened a laundry. There were a number of advertisements for special events upcoming in the city. There was to be the Annual Ball of the Hyack Fire Company, a sale of assorted works in support of the Holy Trinity bell tower, and a dramatic evening at the Opera House by Gustavus Levick with Miss Celia Alsberg and their travelling company.We will check into these events.

New prez for Hyacks

Domville becomes NewWest minor football’s first woman president By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

As president, she could assume executive tweeting power, but New West’s Jennifer Domville is more into collaboration. Having done nearly every volunteer position outside of coaching with the Royal City Hyacks Football Club, Domville knows the importance of having a steady hand on the tiller. The club executive elected her its new president last week, taking over from Greg Palmer. The club has benefited from good leadership over the years, and when tapped by club founder and high school coach Farhan Lalji to throw her hat in the ring, Domville did. “I’m comfortable enough knowing that I can learn as I go. I’m someone who has no problem asking for guidance if I need it,” she said. She has already served on the executive and as the club manager for a number of seasons. The Hyacks program fielded three teams plus a couple of flag entries in fall ball, and a full slate of flag teams for spring football. They already have a wait list for this year’s spring flag teams. Getting those spring numbers to transition into growth at the fall’s tackle season is one goal. Football is a family event, she noted, and that is the key engine that keeps it running smoothly at the community level, too. Her son Jackson is entering his final junior bantam season, while husband Greg was elected the youth vice-president. Lalji said Domville has the interests of the kids at heart and is a good fit for the role. “She’s been around the club for a number of years and done a lot of the volunteer positions,” he noted. “Jennifer has a real passion for making things better.” She intends to bring back the Hyack Huddle, an event the club use to do to instill important lessons to the young players on such topics as leadership, bullying and sportsmanship. “These are topics I really feel need to be reiterated over and over again to our youth, especially in this day and age.This is definitely something I’m going to bring back,” she said.

Get this party started: The Douglas College Royals are off to a strong including from left, Bailey Zulinick, Vania Oliveira, Claudia Corneil, Olivia Cesaretti, Vicki Schley and Abby Mitro, are building towards next month’s provincials and are currently No. 2 in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association women’s volleyball rankings.

Royals set sights on volleyball success

Ranked No. 2 in Canada, Douglas College women aim to spike at the right time By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Volleyball is a game of exclamation marks, at least the way the Douglas College Royals play it. The women’s volleyball team packs a lot of power on the court, and whether it’s the sound of palm hitting ball or the boisterous vocal cues before and after a successful point, the Royals get their message across. Ranked second in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s latest poll, Douglas is building its case for a spot at the national championship table come March. The New West-based squad sits tied for first in the PacWest league, at 13-3 alongside Nanaimo’s Vancouver Island University, with eight games remaining before playoffs. Every match remains a battle, co-captain Abby Mitro said. “The first half of the season is like figuring everything out and getting to know each other and how we kind of mix together on the court,” remarked the setter from Surrey. “The second half is kind of the grind, you know. Almost every game’s a grind, every

team you’ve played, so they know you and know what you do and your tendencies, so it’s a bit more challenging in that way.” Unsurprisingly, the second half started with a hiccup when the Royals suffered their third loss, 3-1 to the University of the Fraser Valley. It was a productive eye-opener that the team used the next day, head coach Jeff Ross said. “(The loss) was our very first match coming out of the Christmas break, so it was pretty sloppy, but the girls responded and rebounded really well for the Saturday (in a 3-0 win),” noted Ross. Last week, they swept Camosun College in a pair of matches in New West, with a few tense moments. Douglas emerged with the win, getting 23 digs from co-captain Claudia Corneil and 26 kills from first-year Caet McCorkell. With a fairly young lineup – seven of the 16 players are in their first-year of post-secondary studies, and seven others are sophomores – the Royals have exuberance and a trajectory that puts them on course to reach their goals. And when they do hit a speed bump, as they did two weeks ago,

it’s quickly in the rear view mirror. “For us, we’re just looking and prepping for provincials, (and) on the road to getting there,” said Ross, in his second season as coach of the Royals. A year ago, with a few more veterans aboard, including provincial all-star Juliana Penner, the club marched right to the B.C. final before Vancouver Island took them out in three close sets. While the roster lost Penner to graduation and starters Georgia Hurry (Saskatchewan) and Autumn Davidson (Calgary) to university transfers, Ross brought in a talented group from the corners of the province – including two from Kelowna, two from the Island and one from Prince George. The newcomers have made a slick transition to the college game, following the lead of such key returnees as second-year Vania Oliveira, who hails from Brazil. The focus of the first half of the season was to develop team chemistry, growing as a unit while not letting the competitive side slide. A tough ask when newcomers are also making the transition to postsecondary studies.

But Mitro, a second-year setter from Surrey, said everything has worked out smashingly. “Our first-years have done an amazing job this year, especially Kendra (Potskin, from Prince George) in the middle and Caet (McCorkell, of Kamloops) on the outside,” remarked Mitro. “They’ve totally stepped into their roles and embraced our culture, which is really nice. Even the girls who aren’t seeing as much playing time, they are right there behind them, biting at their heels, and it’s really nice to see everyone stepping up to the plate and making a big difference.” Corneil, libero and co-captain, is second in the league in digs with 3.89 per set, while Potskin leads the team, one spot ahead of fellow freshman Olivia Cesaretti, in blocks. McCorkell owns the thirdbest numbers in PacWest top offensive numbers, while Oliviera sits sixth overall. Although they split their first series with Vancouver Island, Mitro noted that first game in late November, where the Royals broke a 1-1 game and proceeded to prevail Continued on page 36

New West topples Central

The New Westminster senior girls Hyacks continue to gain momentum in the second half of the season. New West improved to 5-0 in Burnaby-New West girls basketball action, handing Burnaby Central its first loss of league play in

a 92-48 contest. Sarah Forgie led the way with 32 points, while Devin Strome offered up 28 points. Providing good offensive support was Kanon Iwachi with 16 points. It came on the heels of a

67-28 victory over Moscrop last week. The Hyacks, who are 18-1 on the year, compete at the Collingwood tournament this weekend, before wrapping up the regular season next week.The league playoffs begin Feb. 2.

Continued from page 35 3-1, was a great moment for the squad. “That was a great win, a good team win and it felt good to beat them.” Ross said as a unit the players continue to take it one game at a time.The results have been good, but the goal is being their best at B.C.s, and hopefully earning that spot to

Grande Prairie for the nationals in March. “We’re at that time where playoffs are just around the corner so everybody is getting focused and dialed in to where we want to be at the end of the season,” said Ross. The Royals head out on the road for the next three weekends, including a rematch Feb. 9 and 10 in Nanaimo against VIU.

KINGWELL, Leslie Jean (nee Zeller) It is with a sad and heavy heart that we say goodbye to our dear Leslie, beloved wife of Kenneth Kingwell, daughter of Vi Meech and the late Robert Zeller, sister of Rick and Doug Zeller. Born April 4, 1958 in Whitehorse, Yukon and passed away January 4, 2018 at St. Michael’s Hospice in Burnaby, BC after a lengthy illness. After leaving a job in the financial department at Crown Paper in the 1990’s, she took on the role of office manager and administrator for KR Gutter, the business started, owned and operated by Ken and herself for over 40 years. In her free time she loved reading, gardening, cooking, watching football, and spending time outdoors with husband Ken. Scuba diving, skiing, hiking, riding dirt bikes and side-by-side quads in the back country were just a few of her interests and accomplishments. Her time with us was far too short. God lent her to us for 59 years, but when he needed another angel he took her home. She was loved dearly and will be sorely missed. By request a private family service will be held at a future date.

For over 30 years, the main appeal of this neighbourhood favourite is its ability to make each and everyone feel at home. They’re welcomed by the familiar and long-term staff, they select favourite comfort dishes from the expansive menu, and relax into a cozy interior or lively and scenic patio.

Rustic. Modern. Italian. In 1917, one of our forefathers, Giuseppe (Joe) Piva emigrated from northern Italy to interior BC. He spent the next ﬁve decades farming cattle, sheep, poultry, fruits and vegetables. Although he did not make his own wine, he grew grapes & provided them to close friends for their own bacchanalian pursuits. Piva honors Joe’s passion for farm fresh ingredients, traditional Italian cooking and exceptionally prepared food and drink with a modern approach. Our chef works hard, right before your eyes, using consciously sourced ingredients from local farms and artisans. Our wine list features many wines by the glass and carefully selected labels featuring the best of BC and Italy.

Our recipe for success is our motto “We are all family here.”

Every neighbourhood has one, an anchor that brings the community together. For New Westminster’s waterfront, that anchor is the Paddlewheeler Pub. Situated on the Fraser River at River Market, Paddlewheeler Pub attracts a crowd of locals and visitors alike.

At the Paddlewheeler Pub, every day of the week offers something to celebrate whether it’s Taco Tuesdays or Sunday Jam Night. Giving us all another reason to look forward to the weekend, they’re now serving breakfast on the weekend and holiday Mondays. Meanwhile, upcoming events include a performance by one of the best bands in local entertainment, 2 Days & Counting, on February 2 at 7pm (no cover) and the Super Bowl on February 4. With 11 big screens and three giant screens, it’s THE place to see all the action of any sporting event let alone the biggest game of the year. Not to mention they have 23 taps of your favourite beers.

Starting after February 4th is a new Valentine’s Day menu and lots of entertainment. There will be food and beverage specials to treat your Valentine all month long. And as an added convenience, the pub also has a liquor store next door complete with a knowledgeable and friendly staff to guide you through the offerings and is open daily from 9:30 am until 11 pm. Featuring beer, wine and spirits from around the region and the world, the liquor store also has various tastings, allowing customers to try before they buy. As with any active community player, Paddlewheeler Pub is committed to a variety of charity and sporting events. For the last 10 years, they’ve raised funds for families at Christmas with their annual Pancake Breakfast in cooperation with Family Place and the Purpose Society. More recently, Paddlewheeler Pub also helped raise over $2,200 for the Autism Society with donated prizes, and musicians who donated their time. Make the Paddlewheeler your new local favourite, just follow the boardwalk to the biggest party on the block. 810 Quayside Drive at River Market 604-524-1894
