MP Peter Julian romps to his sixth win in a row Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

It’s six in a row for Peter Julian. Having won five consecutive federal elections, the New Westminster-Burnaby NDP candidate made it six in a row on election day. And he did it in spades. “They have given me the largest majority I’ve gotten since I start-

ed running,” said Julian, who has served as New Westminster’s MP since 2004. “I work hard every day on their behalf because they are my bosses, and I never forget that.” Preliminary results show Julian topped the polls with 23,022 (44.2 per cent) of the votes.That’s up from the 43.5 per cent of the vote he had in the 2015 election.

City Beat ELECTION

What role will Julian play in Ottawa?

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Some local New Democrats believe it’s their party’s time to shine in Ottawa – and they see NewWestminster’s MP as being a big part of that plan. NewWestminster councillors Chuck Puchmayr and Jaimie McEvoy were among the local New Democrats attending the federal NDP election party at the HiltonVancouver Metrotown on Monday night.With the Liberals forming a minority government, they feel the NDP could play an important role in Parliament. “Peter is the house leader of the NDP,” McEvoy said. “If there is a coalition government, he will actually be playing a really key role, probably, in those discussions and how that will work.” Julian, who was re-elected to a sixth term in office, said he’s prepared to take on whatever role NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh wants him to play. “That’s up to the leader.We have a very good relationship. I was more than happy to substitute for him in some of the debates,” he said. “He will make those decisions in the coming days, but I am happy to play any role I can.” With the Liberals forming a minority government, Ju-

PARTY TIME: NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh greets MP Peter Julian (right) Monday at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown. PHOTO LISA KING lian said the NDP will continue to fight for issues like affordable housing, access to dental care, a national pharmacare program and action against climate change. He said the NDP, under leader Jack Layton, was able to push for issues like post-secondary education and seniors services in 2005, at a time when the Liberals had a minority government under then-prime minister

Paul Martin. Puchmayr said there was a time at the beginning of the summer when he worried whether the NDP would be able to keep its official party status in Ottawa. The NDP won 24 seats, 15 fewer than it had before the election. “I know we have dropped a few (seats), but we have stayed really strong,” he said. “I think being able to

possibly form a coalition, the NDP can really shine.” Puchmayr believes Canadians want to see a government that “breaks the divide and comes together and works together” for the good of the country – something he thinks is achievable with a minority government. “I think it is an exciting time,” he said. “We will just have to see how long this can last, and hopefully there

will be some really good benefits for the average people in Canada.” McEvoy thinks a Liberal/ NDP coalition could work well, noting minority governments that worked together to introduce initiatives such as medicare. “I think the NDP will push the Liberals to revive the national housing program,” he said.

Singh wins burger poll No matter how you slice it, this year’s burger poll at the Burger Heaven was a bit off the mark. The local restaurant holds a bun-official burger poll for every federal, provincial and municipal election.While the results are often similar to the real results, this year’s final product deviated from the nationwide and local results. When voting ended at the local eatery’s burger poll, the Singh (NDP) Burger topped the polls at 35 per cent.Trailing behind were the May (Green) Burger at 22 per cent, the Trudeau (Liberal) Burger – 19 per cent; the Scheer (Conservative) Burger – 17 per cent; the Bernier (People’s Party) Burger – 2.5 per cent; Blanchet (Bloc) Burger – two per cent; and bun-decided – 2.5 per cent. At the local level, NDP candidate Peter Julian butchered the competition, taking 44.2 per cent of the votes. Unlike the bun-official poll, the Liberals (not the Greens) placed second. Federally, the Liberals earned 33.1 per cent of the popular vote and the Conservatives 34.4 per cent, with the Bloc Québécois at 7.7 per cent, the NDP at 15.9 per cent, the Greens at 6.5 per cent and the PPC at 1.6 per cent.

Majority governments ‘provide supports for the wealthiest’ Continued from page 1 Julian said he’s knocked on several thousand doors while campaigning, but close to 10,000 since the 2015 election. “It comes from hard work and helping people,” he said of his results. “I don’t take that for granted. I never will. I think whenever you start taking people for granted you are no longer of use to them in a democratic system. So I work as hard as I can.” During the campaign, Julian said there were several issues that were raised over and over again.These included affordable housing, the climate emergency, and affordability issues related to medication, dental, interest on student loans and cellphone and data plans. “Those are things we’re are going to start working on tomorrow,” he told the

Record Monday night. “We have worked on them, but with a majority government there wasn’t the same interest.” The Liberals had enough seats (157) to form a minority government, followed by the Conservatives (121), the Bloc Québécois (32), the NDP (24), Greens (three) and one independent. “Nationally, what this does is it shows that Canadians want a Parliament that gets things done,” Julian said. “They have said no to the majority government because I think it’s pretty clear that majority governments don’t have the same ability – they provide supports for the wealthiest and most privileged.” Davis was pleased with the Liberal party’s results at the national level, but disappointed he didn’t fare better in the polls.

“I was genuinely surprised it was such a gap,” he said. “I was expecting more. I am definitely surprised.” Davis said the Liberals raised more than $50,000 locally for the campaign, which is an accomplishment in itself. He believes there’s a groundswell of support for the party locally, and momentum is building to become more organized at the local level. “I think the voters tell it like it is,” he said. “I think Canadians wanted change – they wanted to see something. I think there were some specific things people were concerned about.” Davis said the election of a minority government gives the Liberals “another crack” at tackling issues that matter to Canadians. He’s confident Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau will use the opportunity wisely.

Ofﬁcial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 8147, 2019 318 Fourth Street, New Westminster

OCT.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

6:00PM

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: An application has been received to remove Heritage Conservation Area protection from 318 Fourth Street, a 1908 house in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood. The removal of heritage protection from the house requires an Official Community Plan amendment. The application was evaluated based on criteria related to heritage merit, development potential, and building condition and integrity. The evaluation supports reclassification of the house to a non-protected status in the Heritage Conservation Area. Should the application be approved, and the amendment bylaw adopted, the house at 318 Fourth Street could then be modified or demolished without further heritage-related approvals. However, any new house built on the property would be required to meet the requirements of the area’s Design Guidelines and the Zoning Bylaw. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? From October 11 to October 28, read the bylaw and related material in the Planning Division at City Hall: Mondays between 8:00 am and 7:00 pm and Tuesdays through Fridays between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm except statutory holidays, and online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices.

City Cop cleared in shooting Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster police officer has been cleared of charges in a non-fatal 2016 shooting near Walmart on Boyd Street. According to a B.C. Prosecution Service news release, the Independent Investigations Office found reasonable grounds to approve charges against the unnamed officer. “Following a thorough review of the available evidence, the BCPS has concluded that the evidence does not support approving any charges against the (officer),” reads the BCPS statement. “The charge assessment was conducted by a senior Crown counsel with no prior or current connection to the officers who were the subject of the IIO investigation.” The BCPS considered three charges: aggravated assault/assault with a weapon, attempted murder and careless use of a firearm. Police officers must not use force unless necessary, and when they do use force, it is

up to prosecutors to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the force was excessive or unnecessary. According to a summary of the incident, the BCPS says officers were deployed to the Walmart at 805 Boyd St. in Queensborough Landing, where one shoplifting suspect was taken into custody without incident. A second suspect fled police but fell to the ground after he was hit by a Taser.The BCPS report speculates that, in rolling after landing on the ground, the Taser became detached from the man, who then drew a silver handgun and pointed it at two officers and a witness.

The officer in question drew their gun and shot twice before a pursuit began.The officer fired another shot during the chase, and then five more shots as the suspect approached a grassy area. The evidence indicated the suspect did not drop his gun, which had no clip but a bullet in the chamber, during the pursuit. A use-of-force expert found the officer’s actions to be in line with the officer’s training. The expert determined that the first two shots were appropriate after the suspect drew his handgun, and no bystanders were ever in the line of sight when the officer fired his gun.

City Students want climate action Dustin Godfrey dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s school board is working on a call from a group of students and members of the community to declare a climate emergency and to apply a climate lens to all of its decision-making. The group, called SD40 for the Climate, spoke at the Oct. 15 operations committee meeting, and their presentation was received with applause by the board and staff. SD40 for the Climate was spawned from the New Westminster Secondary environmental club in collaboration with members of the community in early August, said Grade 12 student Jade Bouchard, one of the organizers behind the group. The idea for calling a climate emergency at the school district level came from the Victoria school district, which recently declared an emergency – potentially the first in Canada, Bouchard said. “We got a bunch of really great resources from the

Victoria group,” Bouchard said. The group also held an info session in September to “mobilize more people and get the information out there about what our school district is doing and isn’t doing.” Bouchard called the session “super, super successful.” “They did such an impressive job with expressing their concerns and what they felt,” said Jennifer Nathan, a former science teacher at NWSS who is also involved in organizing for SD40 for the Climate. On top of the fact that “every little bit counts” in terms of emissions reductions, Nathan said tackling this at the school level offers a bit of peace of mind for students. “You can hear their fear and anxiety of the lack of action, so giving them a sense of agency, they just ran with it,” Nathan said of the students. Bouchard said she expects the district not to just declare an emergency as a platitude without action to back it up.

“It’s really important that the action plan they come up with is substantial, will create a large impact,” Bouchard said. Trustee Gurveen Dhaliwal, who worked with the group ahead of its committee presentation, pushed four recommendations to be sent to the full school board for approval. That included a recommendation to declare a climate emergency, a recommendation to create a long-term environmental strategy by September 2020, one to implement climate literacy in the K-12 curriculum and one to write a letter to the ministers of environment and education to advocate for climate literacy in schools and support for school districts seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Of those recommendations, the first and fourth were passed on to the school board for consideration, while the second and third were deferred to November for staff to bring more information to the table.

Opinion OUR VIEW

A new federal voting system could energize the masses A simple look at some numbers reveals a lot about the 2019 federal election and where our country should be headed. The voter turnout in Canada was a measly 66 per cent – a number likely to drop because it doesn’t include those who registered on election day.Voter turnout was even worse in the local ridings: 63 per cent for Burnaby North-Seymour, 60 per cent for New Westminster-Burnaby and a pathetic 56 per cent in

Burnaby South, despite the candidacy of NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. So why do so few Canadians vote? Well, some other numbers might shed light on this. The Bloc Québécois captured 32 seats with 7.7 per cent of the vote, while the NDP secured just 24 seats with nearly 16 per cent of the vote.The Greens had nearly the same number of votes as the Bloc, but got just three seats. It’s no wonder people

don’t want to vote when the first-past-the-post system is so unfair. Hopefully, with the Liberals only having minority status, the NDP and Greens can force a change in how we vote. After all, our prime minister previously promised this – in 2015. TRANSIT NUMBERS While we’re looking at data, some numbers show that it takes much longer to travel by bus in Metro Vancouver today than it did five

years ago. According to a TransLink report released Monday, 80 per cent of Metro Vancouver bus routes are slower than they were half a decade ago, largely due to increased traffic congestion on the roads and a “lack of sufficient bus priority.” The report notes that for transit riders, this means longer ride times and longer waits, as well as more overcrowding, all of which reduces the “attractiveness” of commuting by transit.

In 2018, we saw record-breaking ridership, with 437.4 million boardings. And over the last three years, total transit ridership has increased by 17 per cent and total bus ridership by 14 per cent. The transit authority estimates road delays are costing the company more than $75 million per year, 12 per cent of Coast Mountain Bus Company’s total operating costs. Operator breaks and extra time needed to ensure on-

time departures increased operating costs by another 16 per cent. As bus travel times become more irregular, “recovery time” must be increased, said the report. The report identifies strategies to help curb road congestion and improve transit times, most of which would be up to municipalities or the provincial government to implement. We hope these politicians, as well as the feds, will look at these numbers and do what’s needed.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Horgan shows off his cuddly side I have seen many things around the B.C. legislature during the 30-plus years I’ve been stationed there covering B.C. politics, but I’ve never been partly responsible for kicking a cabinet committee out of the historic cabinet chamber. Until last week, that is. And my partner in crime was none other than Premier John Horgan. I am often asked by teachers if I can spare some time to talk to their students when they visit the legislature (about a dozen classes a week take a tour of the place, and they come from all over the province). I try to always oblige, and if there is time I try to take them on a behind-the-scenes tour of B.C.’s most important and historical building. Last week, the local Reynolds Secondary School social studies 11 class made such a request. Students of B.C. politics may know that school is Horgan’s alma mater. I arranged for the class to drop into the premier’s office, where a Reynolds Secondary School banner is draped over the entrance. That morning happened to be the Great Shakeout, when everyone is supposed to practice earthquake survival skills, such as ducking and covering. They gathered in his office for a few minutes of small talk, and the premier piped up. “Hey, I’ve got an idea! Let’s go up to the cabinet room so you can dive under the cabinet table during the earthquake drill,” he suggested. The wide-eyed young-

sters made their way up the legendary narrow spiral staircase (originally installed during former B.C. premier Bill Bennett’s time) to the cabinet chamber. Horgan opened the door and stumbled into a cabinet committee meeting, composed of cabinet ministers and their deputies. He quickly and good-naturedly asked them to leave, and, at first, they seemed to think he was joking. But no, he explained, we’ve got some high school students here, and we need the room. I wasn’t quite sure this was actually happening: some of the most powerful people in the province having to make way for some social studies students (at least they were laughing about it as they were ushered out). And with that, Horgan held court over the group as they sat around a table where many historic decisions have been made over many, many years. Plenty of giggling ensued, as Horgan cracked jokes at one end of the table. The whole episode was another example of Horgan’s approach to the job, which seems partly focused on having fun and intermingling with the public as much as anything. It is what sets him apart from so many others. And it was a glimpse of why he has proven to be a natural political campaigner. Pushing the powerful people aside in favour of the younger generation? That’s a good look on any politician. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Residents fear highrises Premier Bill Vander Zalm paused during a pre-election jaunt through New Westminster to turn sod on the first of four highrises planned for the waterfront. Bosa Construction’s 17-storey Quayside Tower was slated for completion in fall 1987. Construction on an adjoining 17-storey tower was scheduled to begin in early 1987. Not everyone was as excited about the highrises as the developers and politicians though. Royal City resident Sylvia Scheetz said she was worried the buildings would become a viewobstructing blemish on the waterfront. “Everything else is no higher than three storeys,” she said.

I will miss Andrew Weaver when he leaves Editor: Unlike some, I’m sorry to see Green party leader Andrew Weaver depart, as I feel B.C. overall has greatly benefited from his political presence. When the 2017 B.C. election saw the centre-left electorate (about two thirds of votes cast) split among the provincial Green Party and NDP, I initially saw it as a great misfortune, as it allowed the governing conservative BC Liberal Party to slither up the middle. Soon after, however, when the elected NDP and Green MLAs joined forces to form an NDP/Green one-seat-majority coalition, I suddenly found it a best-case-scenario election outcome: the merger not only refreshingly replaced 16 long years of increasingly compromised BC Liberal rule with traditionally progressive NDP policies—it also forced the NDP minority government to implement some environmental protection measures I’m not sure it would’ve applied had it won the election on its own. Also, claims that the NDP had to cater to every Green demand were proven wrong when, for example, the controversial Site C Dam project went ahead over the Greens’ protestations. And the corruption known as the B.C. legislature spendiing scandal came to shameful light only after the NDP/Green coalition unseated the BC Liberals, the party that still resists deeper investigation while long claiming fiscal responsibility. Sadly, though, such infrequent coalitions are likely the closest we’ll get to a genuinely democratic proportional representative governance. Frank Sterle Jr.

Governments should make exceptions for people who are at risk Editor: As a social worker, I have watched many vulnerable and marginalized people in society slip through the cracks. I would like to propose that all levels of government and even the private sector should adopt what I like to call the “accommodation principle.” This means that government administrators will have the power to make an exception to any government policy, rule, or regulation to accommodate the needs of residents or citizens who are at-risk or in a desperate situation. This means people who cannot afford lifesaving medication will have it approved and homeless and hungry people who do not qualify for welfare will be eligible. The accommodation principle would be one tool in the toolbox that government administrators can use to ensure their programs and services are flexible enough to support the needs of some of our most at-risk citizens. The various levels of government may have to develop some criteria on when this new power can be utilized, but when it is used, I am sure it will be a big relief and a breath of fresh air for all involved.

Hearing set for 12th Street rezoning

A five-storey residential building is proposed on 12th Street. The city has received an application to rezone 837 to 841 12th St. so the applicants can build a project that includes a five-storey residential building containing 29 residential units and four ground-oriented townhouse-style units facing 12th Street. Council will consider the project at an Oct. 28 public hearing. UNPROTECTING A HERITAGE HOUSE New Westminster city council is set to consider an amendment that would remove the protective status

of a Queen’s Park home. The city has received an application to remove heritage protection from a 1908 heritage house at 318 Fourth St., a move that requires an amendment to the official community plan. “Should the application be approved and the amendment bylaw adopted, the house would be reclassified as non-protected,” said a staff report. “The house could them be modified or demolished without further heritage-related approvals.” According to a staff report, the house is more than 100 years old, is in good condition, is fully developed under existing zoning enti-

The report notes that, when the house was evaluated using the Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area’s evaluation checklist, which includes criteria related to heritage merit, development potential and building condition and integrity, it scored 60 per cent. A public hearing on the proposed official community plan amendment bylaw to remove heritage conservation area related protection from 318 Fourth St. will be considered at an Oct. 28 public hearing.

Community Feast on the Fraser adds Indigenous ﬂavour Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

This year’s Feast on the Fraser will serve as an appetizer to an all-new regional festival in 2020. After a one-year hiatus, Feast on the Fraser returns to New West (and beyond) this fall with a focus on Indigenous culinary traditions. Instead of being a dine-out type program, Feast on the Fraser aims to be a culinary celebration linking communities along the Fraser River through connections over food and shared geography. “The name is the same, but this is a multi-city, regional cooperative effort to understand Indigenous culinary techniques and traditions,” said Judy Frankel, executive director of Tourism New Westminster. Feast on the Fraser aligns with the city’s efforts to address reconciliation, but it will use food as the basis of starting conversations and creating connections, she said. “We are not looking to lecture anybody or make it all formal. Food is so fun,” Frankel said. “It’s such an easy access point, such a delicious access point to learn about somebody else’s history, values and everything through food.” This year’s Feast on the Fraser includes several events in New Westminster, Burnaby, Abbotsford and Langley, but an even bigger event is planned in 2020 when it will expand to include Richmond and Surrey.Tourism New Westminster has received a $100,000 Canadian Experiences grant from the federal government for 2020 and will partner with Indigenous Tourism of B.C. and tour-

ism organizations in other communities. “It’s not just the appetizer, it’s the amuse-bouche for an incredible lineup of programming for 2020,” Frankel said of this year’s event. “Really, it’s the idea of kind of appetizing or tempting people in our communities right now with the idea of what’s to come, and to kind of preheat the oven in terms of having an appetite to learn about this kind of information.” Aside from bannock and salmon, many people don’t know a lot about Indigenous food, Frankel said, but that’s going to change as the re-imagined culinary event focuses on rediscovering the culinary traditions from communities alongside the Fraser River.This year’s festival, taking place from Nov. 5 to 10, includes events pairing food, fun, arts and entertainment. “At River Market, from Nov. 5 to 10, we are going to have a lunch and learn, if you will – some sort of educational, Indigenous food demo taking place over the lunch hour so we can attract folks to have a lunch and learn,” Frankel said. “I am really excited about that.” Other events include a traditional salmon barbecue in Fort Langley on Tuesday, Nov. 5.When the vinyl Analog Fair returns to River Market on Nov. 8, Another Beer Co. will be unveiling a special beer being brewed for Feast on the Fraser, and Vancouver’s first Indigenous food truck, Mr. Bannock, will be in attendance. This year’s biggest event, taking place on Nov. 10 at Fraser River Discovery Centre, closes this year’s Feast on the Fraser and serves as the launch of next

year’s expanded event. In addition to food, it will feature storytelling, dance and music. “It’s an Iron Chef-style competition, a sort of battle between the Nations,” Frankel said. “We have different First Nations competing with each other.The public gets to participate by sampling and voting.” To ensure Feast on the Fraser is respectful of First Nations’ traditions,Tourism New West is working closely with groups like Indigenous Tourism of B.C. and the New West-based Spirit

of the Children Society. “It’s not about trying to monetize either. One of the goals of the significant grant for 2020 is to make these events very low-cost, if not free, so we can bring in the most amount of people,” Frankel added. “It’s not about an elite, gourmet festival. It’s about how can we connect with one another and learn through one another through food.” For more, go to www. feastonthefraser.com.

Community School district looks at naming policy Dustin Godfrey

dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

A pair of new policies could see the NewWestminster school district move away from naming schools and facilities after people, instead looking at meaningful historic events and Indigenous culture and history. The school board’s operations committee unanimously approved a recommendation from staff to replace the current policy on naming facilities, administrative procedure (AP) 541. That policy states that the names of new schools “are to reflect one or more of the following: historic places; historic events; special characteristics of the area; long-term residents; and/ or people who have made a significant contribution to the city or neighbourhood community. Furthermore, school names are to relate to the immediate area in which they are located.” That policy, if passed by the full school board, would be replaced by two new policies, including AP 541 on

naming new schools and facilities and AP 542 on renaming schools and facilities. “The district is committed to reconciliation and decolonization of the district’s physical structures within the public landscape of the traditional and unceded territories of the Qayqayt and Coast Salish peoples,” reads the background of the revised AP 541. Both new policies share a set of seven guiding principles, which include not naming buildings after people but giving names that are “meaningful and reflect local historic events and/or places and distinguishing characteristics of the area.” When looking at names that acknowledge Indigenous history and culture, “it is necessary to seek early engagement and involvement with the appropriate Indigenous communities,” one of the guiding principles states. The school district would also develop a communication plan to “support understanding the history and significance” of the facility’s

When naming a new school, the school district would strike a naming committee, which would include a school board trustee, a district Aboriginal co-ordinator, a director of instruction or associate superintendent, a PAC representative, a school administration rep, union reps, up to two Indigenous members, up to two community members and

up to three student reps. According to a staff report, the matter arose from an October 2018 correspondence with the Tsilhqot’in First Nation on the renaming of NewWestminster Secondary School.The school board passed a motion in March instructing staff to come up with a new policy on the matter. The new report will now go back to the board for approval or any necessary changes.

Community City ups park’s public art budget to $100,000 Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster will spend up to $100,000 to create public art in Queen’s Park. City council recently supported a motion to increase the public art budget for the area around the future Sportsplex from $45,000 to $100,000.The additional funds will come out of the city’s public art reserve funds. Coun. Mary Trentadue, a member of the city’s public art advisory committee, said the committee recently discussed the idea of creating a public art piece next to the Sportsplex. She said the Sportsplex will be a very large building and will be located next to the skate park. “The public art advisory committee felt it would be somewhat obvious just to put up a mural on that building, and perhaps something more significant should be considered, something that speaks to the precinct of the skateboard

park and the Sportsplex,” she said. Trentadue noted the public art advisory committee has an annual budget but hasn’t spent any money this year. “We felt this would be a reasonable way to contribute to a significant piece of public art in Queen’s Park that would honour all the work that has been done in this area,” she said. Colleen Ponzini, the city’s director of finance, said there is currently around $600,000 in the public art reserve fund. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr questioned whether the city will “get double our bang for the buck” by doubling the mural budget. Mayor Jonathan Cote said one of the features of the new Sportsplex is a big, blank wall – something that’s not generally friendly or inviting. He said the original thinking was the public art would go in that area. Trentadue said the committee discussion the blank wall on the side of the Sportsplex, which led to

the thought that something “more complex” than art on the wall could be considered – something that incorporates that space with other spaces in the area and honours the setting. “This is all in a beautiful park with lots of greenery,” she said. “What the committee was looking for was a bit more allowance to provide a proposal to an artist so that they can come back to us with the options that they see, that they can visualize in this space, without limiting it to ‘we need you to put something on that wall.’That’s where it has come from.” Coun. Nadine Nakagawa said the location is “a fairly significant and busy area of the city” and it’s also a very beautiful area that has lots of public amenities. “I suppose what I haven’t had an opportunity to have a conversation about is where art should go in the city, whether it should go in underserved areas, in areas that need more beautifying or if it should go in areas that are well-trafficked like

Queen’s Park,” she said. “I haven’t quite resolved that question in my own mind.” Nakagawa said she believes calls for art should align with the city’s strategic priorities, as well as its values around being a welcoming and inclusive community and addressing social equity and inclusion, reconciliation. “I find that’s really miss-

ing from the call for art. I am wondering if we could in some way bump that up, along with the additional funding,” she said. “I would really hope that art would contribute to achieving those strategic goals and giving more opportunity for artists that perhaps have had less opportunity in the past.” Trentadue said she can

report back to the public art advisory committee about the idea of incorporating more of council’s strategic goals into the public art policy. She said the committee has also had conversations about where public art should occur in New West, as members believe it should be spread throughout the city.

Authors tell their stories of facing down wildﬁres Two wilderness dwellers who defied wildfire evacuation orders to fight to save their own properties are coming to the New Westminster Public Library to speak. Chris Czajkowski and Fred Reid will be at the library (716 Sixth Ave.) for a slide show, talk and signing for their new book, Captured by Fire: Surviving British Columbia’s NewWildfire Reality (Harbour Publishing).The event is set for Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 6:30 p.m. A press release notes the illustrated talk is centred on the experiences described in the book, set in the devastating wildfire season of 2017. In and around the towns of 100 Mile House, Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Princeton and Williams Lake, nearly 10,000 people received instructions to evacuate immediately. But when the evacuation order came, not everyone left. Both Czajkowski and Reid stayed behind to protect their properties, animals and livelihoods. Captured by Fire alternates between the two authors’ dramatic firstperson accounts of their experiences throughout that summer. As lightning strikes started new fires and strong winds fanned existing ones, alerts fluctuated and even the firefighters pulled out. Both authors eventually had to decide: when is it time to go?

Help the University of Guelph improve hearing healthcare across Canada. Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing. Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate? It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

Halloween rock show at the Heritage Grill

TODAY IS WORLD POLIO DAY!!

So if you’re the bassist and co-vocalist in a band, and your frontman guitarist partner proposes to you onstage, what do you say? Ask Natalee Fera. She’s now Natalee Lovelock – and, spoiler alert, she said yes. Lovelock and her nowhusband, Danny Lovelock, are together onstage this weekend on what happens to be the first anniversary of that fateful night. It was Oct. 26, 2018, and their band – aptly called Marry Me – was onstage a pub in White Rock when Danny pulled off the surprise proposal and wedding. This Saturday, Oct. 26, Marry Me returns to the

stage in New Westminster for a Rock’n’Roll Halloween, featuring the New West band along with folk-rockers The Quixotic Neurotics and The Colony Farm Band.They’re playing in the back room at the Heritage Grill, 447 Columbia St. Marry Me also includes Kylan Prince on guitar and vocals and Kenny Dietrich on drums.The band’s selfdescribed “modern alternative rock” sounds can be found on their latest release, Til Death DoWe Rock. Doors for the Oct. 26 show open at 7 p.m., with show at 8 p.m.Tickets are $5 in advance, or $10 at the door. See www.marryme music.ca for the details.

In 1985 Rotary embarked on a campaign to eradicate polio from the Philippines. Vaccination was simple, and involved 2 drops from an eye dropper taken orally. The success of the program prompted other governments and agencies to support the initiative. The incidence of polio in 2018 was only 33 cases, in conflict regions of Pakistan and Afghanistan. WE ARE THAT CLOSE TO ERADICATING THE POLIO VIRUS!! But we need to finish the job, or else the virus will resurface and spread throughout the world again.

In the mid-1980s approximately 350,000 children were afflicted with the polio virus every year. Many died, many of those that survived were crippled or disfigured. In the developing world, children were particularly vulnerable due to poor sanitation and scarce medical care. Polio victims experienced a loss of opportunities which we take for granted. An education. A job. A family.

Community New West brewery picks up three B.C. awards Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Steel & Oak Brewery had a big night at the 2019 B.C. Beer Awards. Steel & Oak took second place in the German Pils category for Simple Things and in the Amber European Beer category for its Red Pilsner. Royal City Ale placed third in the North American Blonde Ale category. “It was a really good night for us.You never know with those things,” said co-owner Jorden Foss. “I’d kind of thought we’d win something.We have been pretty fortunate over the last few years.” The NewWest brewery is no stranger to winning awards, having racked up wins annually since Foss and Jamie Garbutt opened the Third Avenue brewery in 2014. While Steel & Oak tends to do fairly well at the B.C. Beer Awards, Foss said the competition has only gotten tougher, as there are now more than 200 breweries in

the province. “There are 1,200 entries now. It’s only getting more and more competitive,” Foss said. “You should just be fortunate and happy if you win one.Winning three is great.” The Steel & Oak crew was pleased to get a win for its Royal City Ale. “It’s nice to be able to win an award with our city’s nickname attached to the beer, so that’s kind of cool,” Foss said. “It’s the first time we have ever won with it, which is funny because it is our best-selling beer.” The B.C. Beer Awards marked the second big win of the year for Simple Things, which won a silver at the Canadian Brewing Awards earlier this year. “That one is, internally, our favourite beer that we make,” Foss said. “When you are in the industry you tend to like to drink pilsners because we drink beer so much that a pilsner is a nice, refreshing, easy-to-drink beer. But we designed this beer to have a bit more bitterness on the finish. A lot

of times people equate a pilsner beer with being boring.This one isn’t. It packs a punch on the finish.” So what’s coming up on the beer front for Steel & Oak? “We are actually going to launch a full-time flagship IPA which we have never done. It will be out in November, and it’s called Shiny Things,” Foss said. “That’s exciting for us.” On the business front, the brewery is focused on becoming more efficient. “We are out of space here so we are just trying to maximize efficiencies and become a more well-run business,” Foss said. Steel & Oak is also working on a collaboration with Drake Eatery, a craft beer bar onVancouver Island. “It’s called Herald Street BrewWorks,” Foss said. “It will run independently, but we are hoping to get it set up. I am hoping it will be a cool spot. It has 178 seats inside of it which is great for a company like us. It’s so capital intensive to open one of these things, so the best

thing you can do is sell as much beer through the front door as possible.With 178 people, it should be a fun venture, for sure.” Steel & Oak is always on the lookout for new ventures in NewWest. “We always have our fin-

gers in a couple of different pots to see what might stick and what opportunities there might be,” Foss said. “It’s never been a secret that we would like a satellite tap room or location closer to downtown NewWest. Downtown NewWest does

seem perfect for us, but the timing has to be right for us. We both have young families as well, and we are also doing this brewery inVictoria. That will really be the thing that decides which other projects we hop on in the short- or long-term.”

Laugh at shameful secrets in this night of improv fun Dirty Little Secrets Improv returns on Friday There’s a great improv show coming to New Westminster – but you’ll have to spill a secret to get in. The Dirty Little Secrets Improv night is on at the Columbia Theatre on Friday, Oct. 25. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for the 8 p.m. show. To get in, everybody must spill a secret; secrets must be true, and they must be yours to spill. Don’t worry, though, nobody will know it’s your secret. Not sure what kind of secret to share? The event organizers throw out such gems as “Candy makes me gassy,” “I’m a Sabrina the Teenage Witch super fan,” and “I’m afraid of kittens.” Audience secrets will then be used as fodder for a night of comedy featuring some of Vancouver’s best improv comedians, including Vancouver Theatresports stars and instructors.

The show was created by co-producer Dan Dumsha in NewYork, when it has been running monthly in the East Village for five years. In Vancouver, it ran in the West End for three years before moving to New West in August after the original venue closed down.The producing team of Dumsha and Ed Forrester has also produced shows in Dublin, Ireland and Melbourne, Australia. The show is committed to showcasing diverse voic-

es within the improv community. Tickets are $20, with a $5 off discount if you use a special Record reader promo code, 4THERECORD. While you’re at it, save the dates for the next couple of Dirty Little Secrets Improv nights: future shows are set for Saturday, Nov. 16 and Thursday, Dec. 12 at the Columbia, 530 Columbia St. See www.thecolumbia.net or buy tickets through www. eventbrite.ca.

Championship berth on the line for Royals Last year’s early exit adds motivation for Douglas College team Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It’s been nearly a month since the Douglas College men’s soccer team has tasted defeat. They’ve racked up four wins and a tie since then, including a pair of decisions over league-leading Vancouver Island. But for Royals coach Robby Toor, the loss that resonates the most at this time of the season came a year ago, when the nationally ranked squad were unceremoniously upset in the PacWest semifinal by Langara. That 2-1 decision will be something Toor, his assistant coaches, and the returning veterans will draw on for this Friday’s 2019 PacWest semifinal (noon at the Burnaby Lake West complex). Having finished league play in second spot at 6-4-2, Douglas College has established its reputation as a finishing team. Facing archrival Capilano University, they have a 1-2-1 record that shows how close the two teams are. “They have some very crafty forwards,” noted Toor on the Blues. “They’re fast and skilled and you don’t want to give them too many opportunities.” It was proven early in the year when Capilano handed the Royals a pair of one-goal losses, with both games decided on lastminute tallies. Their most recent encounter, two weeks ago, saw Douglas getting a late goal of its own, from captain Burhan Waisy, to earn a 2-2 draw. They closed out the regular season with a mean-nothing 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Island Mariners last Sunday.The Mariners had already clinched top spot in the league, as well as a spot in this weekend’s provincial final (Sunday, noon at Burnaby Lake West). Despite suffering four losses in a four team league,Toor sees his squad as being

MOVING ON UP: Douglas College Royals captain Burhan Waisy, at right, is looking to help his team make amends for losses earlier this year and last year in the PacWest semifinal. Douglas battles Capilano University on Friday in the 2019 PacWest playoffs, with the winner earning a berth to the provincial final as well as the national championship tournament in Ontario next month. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER primed to achieve some lofty goals if they can keep the momentum going. “We struggled a bit earlier in the year, kind of finding our rhythm and getting the chemistry going with our new players,” he said. “We dropped some points we shouldn’t have, but since I’ve been here it’s kind of been the tradition that Douglas shows up to play in October. “The players have certainly gotten good results over the last three weeks.” Led by Brazilian international student Felipe Domingos, a six-foot-five netminder who has a league-best four shutouts and

.867 save percentage, the Royals have successfully balanced defence and offence to earn a spot among the national top-10 ranking board, sitting 10th overall. Freshman Milan Gandesha has a teambest five goals on the year, whileYanni Siafakas and Waisy are close behind with four each. A third of the team are PacWest rookies who don’t remember Douglas’ march to the 2017 national final – where host Vancouver Island won 1-0 – or last year’s disappointing early playoff exit. Toor said motivation won’t be a problem.

“This team is highly competitive and they train to win,” he said. “We coaches will reiterate the gameplan and playing our style of game. I like the way we’ve been going.” With the PacWest being granted two berths to the national championships this year, regular season champion Vancouver Island has already secured its ticket to the Nov. 6 to 9 tournament in Oshawa and Durham. A win in Friday’s semifinal will net the league’s second berth to the nationals.

Hyacks build court success with ambitious core Hard knocks last year paying dividends for volleyball team Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It’s been more than 20 years since the Hyacks were a real threat on the senior boys volleyball circuit. This year’s success has changed the channel when it comes to expectations, too. New Westminster Secondary’s squad enters the final two games (including Wednesday’s contest against Byrne Creek, past the Record’s deadline) eyeing a perfect record and some healthy momentum for a playoff run. In their 3-0 shutout over rival Burnaby North on Monday – with both teams holding undefeated records entering the day – the Hyacks kick-started each game with a solid run before the Vikings put a forceful rally together.The first

two sets (25-21, 25-22) showed two close rivals taking turns with momentum-killing rallies. In the third and final set, New West put it away with a little more efficiency (25-17). At 5-0 and sitting 14th in the provincial top-15 rankings, the adrenalin and excitement are starting to show staying power. “I knew coming into the season that we would be strong, but I did not know we’d be beating a lot of teams and actually be ranked in the top-15 of B.C. volleyball,” second-year coach Billy Lee said. “They’ve been doing well, they’ve been gradually getting better and better and now they’re top of the league and hopefully be going into the (Burnaby-New West) playoffs undefeated.” Besides some shaky play in the season-opener against Burnaby

Central, which they won 3-2, the Hyacks have only dropped one other set, to Moscrop, two weeks ago. The squad, which includes three club players and is led by Grade 12 Nicholas Toews, has garnered its share of success on the tournament circuit, too.They finished ninth out of 24 at the Douglas College event, and 13th out of 32 at UBC.This weekend they’re heading north to compete at Kamloops’Thompson Rivers University tournament. Consider that a year ago the Hyacks had just one league win to their credit and floored a lineup that was loaded with Grade 10s, this year’s emergence has been positively surprising. Although the players themselves believe they knew it was possible. Toews, who was a veteran last

year among mostly Grade 10 lineup, says the progression has been encouraging. “It’s been a very good season

and everyone has contributed,” said Toews. “Last year we kind of got to know each other and Continued on page 29

Hyacks stopped by College

No. 3-ranked NewWest looks to start new win streak on Friday

Going unbeaten through the regular season is highly overrated anyways. The New Westminster Hyacks suffered their first setback of the 2019 AAA football season, falling 27-0 to Vancouver College last week. Scoreless late into the second half, the wheels of the cart began to fall off when the No. 2-ranked Fighting Irish scored on a 22-yard run. A few minutes later, the Hyacks forced a turnover deep in Vancouver territory and appeared to have scored, only to have the play called out of bounds. Vancouver would widen its lead with three more majors in the second half.

“We played pretty well defensively, and our first two drives were able to move the ball, but we just couldn’t finish,” Hyacks coach Farhan Lalji said. “We had all the momentum (on the forced fumble and waved-off touchdown), and after that it kind of fell out of our hands.” In the second half, New West was held without a first down, as quarterback Payton Meyers finished with three interceptions on the day. Picking up 11 tackles and two QB sacks was DeakonYoung. The Hyacks, who are ranked third overall with a 4-1 record, host Belmont on Friday for a rare 2 p.m. kick-off at Mercer Stadium.

Continued from page 28 learned how to play together.This year we feel we can qualify for provincials.” Second-year starter Ian Zhou is making the transition to libero, thriving in what is a all-for-one format. “Our team is definitely peaking.We’ve developed the mentality to make every point count, make every point matter,” said Zhou. “With all the practices and tournaments we’ve been going to, we’ve been developing our skill

set. Everyone is getting better and our team is coming together as a whole.” Once the league schedule is completed next Monday, the focus will turn to winning the BurnabyNew West league banner, which they’ll host. New West will also get the privilege of hosting the newly formed Fraser River North zone playoffs – which incorporate the top-four teams from the BurnabyNew West and Coquitlam leagues.
