As cleanup of a Brow of the Hill apartmentgutted by fire continues, the community con-tinues to rally around the victims.

The three-storey apartment at 404 Ash St.was destroyed by fire on the morning of Jan.31. While no one was injured in the fire, all ofthe tenants in the 31-suite building were leftwithout homes.

“I am told they have all been housed,” saidCoun. Chuck Puchmayr, who helped coordi-nate a trust fund set up to assist the victims.“Salvation Army furnished all their furnitureneeds.”

Before the flames had even been extin-guished, community members were offeringfinancial support and donations to help thosewhose homes and possessions were destroyedin the fire. In addition to donations of furniture,clothing and household items to help the dis-placed tenants get set up in their new homes,individuals and groups donated more than$18,000 in cash, with most of the money beingused for dental services (some tenants fled

The New Westminster school districtis looking at more than $2.69 million inunfunded cost pressures next year andwants the public to weigh in on where itshould cut to offset the hefty shortfall.

Senior staff and trustees Casey Cook andJonina Campbell met with local reportersto talk about the budget dilemma for nextyear, including increased costs for utilities,CUPE raises, pay hikes for teachers, as wellas a goal to boost technology spending andto “replenish” spending on supplies, whichhave been continually cut over the years asa way for the district to deal with ongoing

budget troubles.“We see this as a restorative budget,”

Campbell said, summing up the district’sbid to get spending on track for next year.

The district is holding a series of publicconsultations to hear from stakeholderson where they think the cuts should – orshouldn’t – take place. The public consulta-tion process will be “organic,” Cook said,adding that the district will discuss how tobecome “more effective, more efficient.”

“Where we are today is not going to bethe same place as we are at the end of theconsultation,” Cook said. “This budget isn’tjust about cuts, it’s about putting the moneywhere it needs to be.”

Recently hired superintendent John

Gaiptman said the district is looking intoevery program and even staffing when itcomes to trimming $2.69 million from thedistrict’s approximately $61-million bud-get.

“Everything is on the table, and every-thing is going to have to be discussed,” hewarned.

Last year, the district cut about eight percent of its workforce to offset a shortfall inthis year’s budget, and it still owes $5 mil-lion to the province for previous budgetshortfalls.

Gaiptman has encouraged publicengagement since he joined the districtearlier this year. He expects that once thepublic weighs in at two meetings planned

for budget talks – the first was held April 1at city hall; the second is set for Wednesday,April 9 at the NWSS library at 7 p.m. – thedistrict will share staff’s proposed changesto the budget for next year with the publicon Wednesday, April 16 at 7 p.m. at theNWSS library. There will be two more pub-lic budget meetings afterward as well.

The board will “have a good debate infront of the public,” Gaiptman said.

Gaiptman hopes there is a good turnoutfor the upcoming public budget meetings.Listening to public input is a “really impor-tant aspect of what elected officials dobefore they make these decisions,” he said.

The Record’s crime reporter CayleyDobie recently sat down with the NewWestminster Police Department’s two previ-ous chief constables and its current leaderto hear how policing in the Royal City haschanged since the mid ‘90s.

In this first installment, the chiefs dis-cuss how they came to be in New West andthe challenges they faced in the 1990s.

◆

It can be intimidating walking into a roomof police officers whose total experienceamounts to nearly one century of fighting

crime.But Peter Young, Lorne Zapotichny and

Dave Jones don’t come off as the time-hard-ened cops you’d imagine after decades ofpolicing. Instead they seem like the type ofmen you’d see sitting in the local Tim Hortonsgabbing about the good ol’ days.

Young was in his 25th year as a police offi-cer for the Peel Regional Police Service whenhe applied for the chief constable position inNew Westminster.

At the time, the department was withouta chief following the early retirement of JackFordham, the department’s previous chief.

Fordham’s time as chief was plaguedby rumours regarding his perfor-mance as head of the department.Complaints concerning Fordham’smanagement of the department,brought forward by officers withinhis own department, surfaced inearly 1994. An outside consultantwas eventually hired by the NewWestminster Police Board to look intothe management of the departmentafter reports indicated there waslow morale among officers.

In January 1995, the police boardannounced Fordham had accepteda settlement for early retirementand would officially end his termas chief at the end of the month.

Fordham’s early retirement leftthe department scrambling to find areplacement. Without anyone fromwithin the department ready to stepinto the top position, longtime NewWest police officer Jim Thomson tookon the role of acting chief until asearch committee was formed to look at candi-dates from outside the department.

The search committee received 83 appli-cations from across the country but it wasYoung who, in 1996, was chosen as the newchief constable of the New Westminster PoliceDepartment.

“I came here for an interview in earlyMarch for my first time in the city ever andthere was something about it right away thatI said, ‘I think I really want this job,’” Youngrecalls.

Young says he and his wife fell in love withthe Royal City. The pride residents have forthe city and the way they cherish the past is aremarkable thing, he says.

“The way the community is in NewWestminster, you felt an obligation to do yourjob for the people, it wasn’t just a word, it wasa commitment to the city,” Young says.

This passion would prove an importanttool during Young’s four years as chief.During that time, the city experienced a spikein crime. Street crime, panhandling and gang

violence were problems – butthe former police chief says thedepartment took it in stride.

In the midst of the street crimeproblem, Young put a plan inmotion not only to clean up thestreets, but to ensure his workwould continue after he wasgone, and the first step in thatplan was to bring in Zapotichny.

Zapotichny had 30 years expe-rience working in various RCMPdetachments across the province.In 1998, he was the officer incharge of the Coquitlam detach-ment when Young approachedhim about a deputy positionwith the New Westminster PoliceDepartment.

“It was timing, in termsof coming over to the city,”Zapotichny says. “In terms ofsize and moving from RCMP toan independent municipal police

force was a great transition from my perspec-tive.”

With 30 years of policing under his belt,Zapotichny says he intended to stay only fiveyears in New West and retire after 35 years ofwork, but that didn’t happen.

Together Young and Zapotichny begancreating a succession plan for the municipaldepartment, something they say hadn’t existedin a very long time.

Enter Dave Jones.The Coquitlam native joined the New

Westminster Police Department as a reserve in1982 and was officially hired as a constable in1986.

For Young and Zapotichny, Jones was the

answer to the long-awaited succession plan.“Peter (Young) set a tone for me and what

was good was that we were on the same set oftracks,” Zapotichny says. “That was how webrought Dave along.”

From 1998 to 2000 the three men workedtogether on many projects in an attempt toclean up the city. By this time, panhandlingand street crime was exploding downtown;add an increase in drug trafficking, gang vio-lence and several witnesses under the protec-tion of the department, and the challengesseem endless.

But with added challenges came some freshideas from the new top cops in the depart-ment.

“We were just working forward with newplans,” Young remembers.

In order to address the street crime prob-lem, Young cut the corporal rank, took a hand-ful of officers out of supervisor roles and putthem back out on the streets.

“We were starting to do well and then wegot inundated with the Hondurans and wehad the witness protection things,” he says.“And everyone chipped in.”

Jones remembers the late ‘90s as a hectictime for the department. He was the lead offi-cer for the street crime unit and worked on thefront lines downtown dealing with panhan-dlers and Honduran drug traffickers.

The department also handled two high pro-file gang slayings while Young was chief.

In September 1998, the body of DerekShankar, a known gang associate of BindyJohal, was found under the QueensboroughBridge. Two months later another associate ofJohal, Roman (Danny) Mann was found mur-dered in New Westminster.

But looking back now, Jones says Youngmade the decisions that were necessary andpromoting Zapotichny to chief after Young leftwas a natural progression that benefited thedepartment and ultimately, the city.

“He (Young) had to make the right deci-sions to set the organization on track and then

With fewer than 50 days until new recycling regulationskick in, the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce ishoping the province will step up and make some changesbefore it’s too late.

Chamber chair Christine Conway told The Record hermembers are worried the fees being pushed on to busi-nesses in B.C. are significantly higher than what businessesare paying in other provinces, despite being administeredby the same organization – the Canadian StewardshipServices Alliance.

“Obviously, we’re concerned when there’s a disparitybetween what the regulation is designed to do and theactual impact it has on the businesses,” she said.

Conway said member businesses with the chamber areconcerned B.C. companies are being asked to pay morein fees because the province and municipalities won’t becovering any of the costs, unlike other provinces such asOntario.

Stewardship Ontario requires businesses to pay printedand packaging fees that range from 0.42 cents to 23.27 centsper kilogram of recyclable materials. Under the new MultiMaterial B.C. (MMBC) program, businesses will be askedto pay anywhere from 20 cents to 70 cents per kilogram ofrecyclable materials.

Conway said there should be consistency to fees acrossthe country to allow for an even playing field for busi-nesses.

“We’d like to see a little more benchmarking to otherprovinces because right now there doesn’t seem to be a lot

of equality between this province and the next province,and it hasn’t been communicated to us as to why there’s adifference,” she said.

Conway said everyone agrees that reducing the amountof packaging used by businesses is a good idea, but thechamber is worried the province is rushing what shouldbe a big decision, ultimately compromising the entire pro-gram.

“The timeline on this, as well as the lack of transparencyas to where the fees are actually going to be going, are someof the concerns,” she said.

Most of the New Westminster Chamber of Commercemembers are small to medium-sized businesses and weregiven an exemption by the province from the new regula-tions. The decision to exempt smaller businesses from thenew program gives Conway hope that the province mightdelay the launch of the new regulations.

“The deadline is in May, so there isn’t really a whole lotof time. That being said, things can be stopped if there’sproper motivation to do so,” she said. “We just want to seethis implemented properly.”

Hike in rates and change in how thesystem will operate raise concernsBY CAYLEY DOBIE [email protected]

Lorne (Zapotichny) com-ing in was a continuationof that,” Jones adds. “Alsomaking sure there was,after the tough decisions,there is a softer side to it.”

In 2000, Young retiredand returned to Ontariowhen his wife was diag-nosed with breast cancer.Zapotichny took over thechief’s post and, despitewhat he had planned,ended up staying in the

position for 11 years.“I was going to do five

years because 35 (years)was sort of my goal interms of policing and retire-ment. I couldn’t do it at 35,couldn’t do it at 40. Theycouldn’t kick me out thedoor!” Zapotichny laughs.

Despite this, Zapotichnyeventually handed the reinsover to Jones in 2011.

“The jury is still out onwhether that was a goodchoice or not,” Jones jokes.

New West police got a surprise when two injured menshowed up at the department’s back door shortly aftermidnight last Friday.

The unusual incident started after police were called toRoyal Avenue and First Street following reports of shotsfired. As the officers were leaving the department office,a vehicle pulled up to the rear of the building, off SixthStreet.

According to a media release, the driver and pas-senger of the vehicle were suffering from minor injuriessustained during the shooting, but only one victim has agunshot wound. The second victim sustained only minorinjuries. Both were taken to hospital.

The B.C. government is trying to fixsomething that isn’t broken – and it’smaking a mess in the process.

Cities and towns in B.C. have success-ful recycling systems in place, but theprovince has thrown every-thing into confusion by man-dating the creation of a monstercalled Multi-Material B.C.

MMBC was created after thegovernment changed the provincial recyc-ling regulations in 2011 so that respon-sibility for recycling packaging and print-ed paper moved from municipalities to

the industries that produced the material.The theory is that the companies thatprofit from products that produce wasteshould have to pay the cost of recyclingthat material.

B.C. picked MMBC as theorganization to manage thenew program, beginning May19. It will be funded by feescollected from companies that

use packaging or create printed paper,instead of by municipalities.

The province has already respondedto the horrified outcry from small busi-

nesses and exempted them from payingfees to MMBC if their revenues are below$1 million a year, if they produce lessthan a tonne of packaging each year orif they are single outlets. That excludesthe majority of businesses but means theremaining ones – and their customers– will have to foot the bill for everyone’srecycling.

Newspapers are among the industriesmost worried about the new system. PeterKvarnstrom, chairman of the CanadianNewspaper Association, warned that theadded costs are so significant to an indus-

try that is already fragile that they willforce layoffs in newsrooms across theprovince.

B.C.-based magazines will be penal-ized because they will have to pay forrecycling, while international publica-tions that are printed elsewhere andshipped to the province, pay nothing.

Everyone, including the critics ofMMBC, can get behind the idea ofreducing waste. But the province needs tolisten to these very serious concerns.

Is it time to dropthe ‘Royal City’ tag?

What does the RoyalCity name conjure up?Stuffy, old-fashioned

British colonialism? Or a proudnod to the city’s rich history?

It’s a conversation we recentlyhad in the newsroom, when afew of us mulled over how muchthe Royal City moniker reallymeans to residents, if anything.

It certainly meant somethingin 2004, when a plan to drop theRoyal City tag was buried in theback pages of a city document.Residents were aghast when TheRecord revealed the suggestionthat the city drop the historicnickname.

The story caused such a flapat city hall that, after it ran, citystaff jokingly anointed Recordreporter Theresa McManuswith her very own Royal Citypaper crown at a public meeting.(She still has it after all of theseyears.)

The story ran on the frontpage of the paper with the head-line “City to look at ditching‘royal’ name.”

McManus had discovered thename change recommendationwhile flipping through a syn-opsis of an economic develop-ment workshop held by the

city. Buried on one of the lastpages of the document, she reada paragraph that said the cityneeded to get away from thecrown logo and Royal City line.

“It only has a small audience,which is resident and aging.Younger people don’t know orcare about a Royal City. Don’twant to lose the historical com-ponent but need to incorporateit in a new way,” the documentsaid.

The city never made a movetoward dropping the name, andthe furor subsided.

But flash forward almost 10years, when “Condo King” BobRennie came to town as the key-note speaker for an economicdevelopment forum, where hesuggested the city develop a hip“brand” and ditch the Royal Citynickname in order to attract hip30-somethings to town.

Rennie thought the cityshould adopt the acronym“NW” as a way to attract younghomebuyers. His comments firedup Vancouver Sun columnistShelley Fralic enough for her topen a biting – and characteristic-ally witty – column on Rennie’scalls for a rebrand.

Fralic, a longtime NewWestminster resident, slammedthe “Renniefication,” in the Sun.

“You’d like us to replace ourRoyal City insignia with NW,which you note can also standfor Northwest, … by the way,we’re northwest of nothingexcept Surrey,” she wrote.

There’s no doubt where Fralic

Easy ways to improve health careDear Editor:

Re: Time to take a hard look at health care, Ourview, The Record, March 26.

Your article states “It’s time we looked beyondour immediate neighbour and took a serious look atwhat some of our more distant relatives are appar-ently doing better (at health care) than we are.”

In fact, we don’t need to look to other countriesfor ways to improve wait times and our health-caresystem. There are many excellent solutions thathave been successful right here in Canada, they arejust not being widely implemented.

We know there are better ways of managing waitlists to make sure ORs are not sitting idle and tomake sure the sickest people get treated first. Wecould be setting up more “one-stop shopping” pub-

lic diagnostic and elective surgery clinics to reduceour running around to get different tests and attenddifferent appointments, and to reduce the overheadcosts.

There is considerable evidence that a nationalPharmacare program would do a lot to make oursystem more affordable and effective. And we couldreally make a difference by improving communityhealth services (prevention, primary care, home andcommunity care, rehabilitation, mental health ser-vices) to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations andemergency room visits, particularly among higherusers of health services like the frail elderly andpeople living with a mental illness. The Wait TimeAlliance of Canada 2011 Report identified increas-ing access to community health services as the most

important intervention needed to reducewait times in emergency rooms and forelective surgeries.

We also need the federal government tocome to its senses and agree to negotiate anew Health Accord with the provinces andterritories.

This would provide the provinces withstable health care funding, and couldset national standards for the improve-ments that need to be made for people allacross Canada. The current Health Accordexpired March 31, on which there was aNational Day of Action in 40 communitiesacross Canada.

Our governments could make it a prior-ity to implement the positive public solu-tions that have already proven successfulat reducing wait times. This is how wecan make our health-care system, and ourhealth, better.

Questioning United WayDear Editor:

United Way cuts will impact city sen-iors, The Record, April 2.

Would it be rude of me to ask just whyit is that “seniors” would be the victim

of proposed cutbacks from United Waybecause of a drop in funding? We are toldthat the United Way gets both governmentfunding, along with private funds.

Full disclosure here: I do not donate tothe United Way and do not approve of thegovernment, any government, assisting intheir so-called charities.

The reason I do not is because theUnited Way donates funds to PlannedParenthood, which mostly concerns itselfwith building and supporting abortionclinics, in mostly downtown urban areas.

Given that abortion is a matter of per-sonal choice, it is my contention that thosemaking the choice, a choice that seldomarises from dire medical consequences(pregnancy is not an illness) that they payfor these non-necessary surgical intrusionsthemselves?

Odd, isn’t it, that the United Way doesnot tell us how much they give to PlannedParenthood?

It is true that you may donate to theUnited Way, while making preferences towhich causes your monies are directed,but – well, I don’t trust them in this.

Perhaps if more people knew of thisdiversion of funds, more people wouldsuggest they make cuts to PlannedParenthood’s funding, and less to seniors’causes?

The city was namedNew Westminster byQueen Victoria herself –from that comes the RoyalCity moniker.

Now, more than 150years later, is it time to cul-tivate a new nickname forthe modern era?

And, if so, should itsimply be New West?Twitter seems to think so.

RECORD STORY: New West group names a familiar face as UptownLive organizer - April 1Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I James Crosty: To many in the communitythis is no surprise. It is unfortunate that the public is not able to ask for a Freedomof Information (FOI) from the Uptown BIA for names of the other companies thatsubmitted proposals for the production of Uptown Live. Especially in light of the$48,500 tax dollars approved (at that time, more that all the other festivals com-bined) for the one day event by Mayor and Council (with the exception of CouncilorMcIntosh). With the ongoing shadow of disclosure hanging over these communityorganizations perhaps the UBIA should start off as one that wants to be open andtransparent by providing that information. After all is this not the very issue UptownProperties and the Royal City Center managers felt that Hyack Festival Associationwas at fault for not doing?

New Westminster firefighters quicklyquashed a couple of fires before they gotout of control.

Fire Chief Tim Armstrong said the city’sfire crews have responded to a numberof small fires in the past week, includinga fire in an unattended suite on the 14thfloor of a building on Jamieson Courton March 30 and a second-floor fire in athree-storey building on Griffiths Placeon March 29. He said firefighters quicklyextinguished the fires, which both startedin the kitchen.

“We have been doing our ongoingtraining program with our crews,” he toldcouncil March 31. “That has really paidoff.”

In the aftermath of the Jan. 31 apart-ment fire on Ash Street, New Westminster

Fire and Rescue Services established aprevention task force.

The fire department’s management andthe firefighters union have met to discussissues such as permitting flexible hoursfor fire prevention staff to take part in firepreventative initiatives.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr supports thefire department’s attempt to concentratefire prevention efforts on vulnerable, multi-family, non-sprinklered buildings in thecity. He said the city and the fire depart-ment have taken steps to address concernsabout aging lowrise apartments.

“The dividends are being paid,” hesaid. “The citizens of New Westminster arethe victors in all of this.”

Puchmayr, who chairs the city’s emer-gency advisory committee, said the firedepartment is seeking to provide firefight-ers with the tools needed to “up the game”and be as efficient as possible.

New West firefightersdouse blazes quicklyBY THERESA MCMANUS [email protected]

Plans to create an Uptown NewWestminster Business Improvement Areaare moving forward.

The city has determined there is insuf-ficient opposition to the plan to preventit from proceeding. A staff report statedthat four of the 50 property owners inthe proposed business improvement area(eight per cent) opposed the plan. TheUptown Business Association requested the

city initiate a process to establish a businessimprovement area.

The City of New Westminster will collecta levy from property owners in the UptownNew Westminster Business ImprovementArea, and the group would use the fundsto help fund street beautification, on-streetactivity, marketing and promotion, and out-reach to some community groups.

“People always buyfood,” Puchmayr said.“They can save money theywere going to be buyingfood with and use it forother needs.”

Oneofthelatestcontribu-tions comes from Save-On-Foods, which is donating$3,000 in gift cards. ThriftyFoods contributed $500 ingift cards, the St. Vincent dePaul Society at St. Peter’sChurch purchased $4,000in gift cards and RelianceInsurance Agencies Ltd.donated $5,000 to the trustfund.

“McBride Elementaryraised $528, which is pret-ty noteworthy. There are alot of anonymous contri-butions,” Puchmayr said.“It is really heartwarmingto know so many peoplecare.”

Rev.Emilie Smithof St. BarnabasChurch has beenworking withPuchmayr tocoordinate thetrust fund.

The SalvationArmy coordinat-ed the disper-sal of the items that weredonated to St. BarnabasChurch, Shiloh-SixthAvenue United Church,the Sally Ann and othergroups. Some of the excessdonations were shared withother non-profits and faith-based organizations in thecommunity that help thosein need.

St. Barnabas Churchlater held a rummage saleto raise additional funds forthe fund and disperse ofthe surplus donations. Thesale raised $929 for the firevictims.

Shanyn Maguire, a traf-fic reporter with News1130,decided to hold a fundrais-er for the Ash Street firevictims after flying over thesite. She’s holding a DressUp Your Heart fundraiseron Thursday, April 10 atthe Burnaby Winter Club,which features entertain-ment and a silent auction.

“You look at the eco-nomic status of the people

affected – a lot of them areon fixed incomes or pen-sions. There is always aneed. Anything will help,”Puchmayr said. “Gettingmore assistance down theroad will help. It’s all goingto help.”

Meanwhile,the city’s emer-gency advisorycommittee isreviewing poli-cies that pro-hibit the VictimsAssistance andEmergencySupport Servicesfrom providingagencies withcontact informa-

tion about victims of emer-gencies. Because that infor-mation isn’t permitted to beshared, the coordinators ofthe trust fund haven’t beenable to contact all of the for-mer tenants of 404 Ash St.

“If there are any fire vic-tims that haven’t communi-cated with St. Barnabas orthe Salvation Army, we arehoping they will do that,”Smith said. “The hardestthing has been getting an

accurate (tenant) list. Weare waiting for them to findus.”

Smith said the 23 peoplewho have been in touchwith the churches havebeen “gracious” and appre-ciative of the communityresponse.

Joan Drabyk, the city’spermit coordinator, said thesite is slowly being clearedbut has been hampered bythe lack of bins available forthe process.

“They are specializedbins, which are then truckedto Alberta for disposal,” shewrote in an email to TheRecord. “There are a limitednumber of bins, which itseems are currently beingshared by our two sites andpossibly others in the LowerMainland. They ship out toAlberta and then wait fortheir return.”

In addition to the AshStreet fire, the bins are alsoneeded for the site of theColumbia Street fire. Firedestroyed two buildings onColumbia Street in October.

Talk to Avril Brigden andAubrey Maddock forawhile, and you’ll quickly

find out that they’re enthusias-tic about just about everythingto do with Royal City MusicalTheatre’s Annie.

Everything, that is, except thebloomers that the orphans haveto wear.

Those are tight and itchy andmake the girls really glad that intheir real lives, they get to wearjeans.

The two girls are onstage asorphans in Annie, which opensat New Westminster’s MasseyTheatre on April 10.

They met up with The Recordduring their March break to talkabout their experiences in themusical.

“It’s going really well!” saidan enthusiastic Aubrey, a 12-year-old Grade 6 student atMontecito Elementary School inBurnaby.

“I really like the experi-ence, it’s really fun,” agreedAvril, who’s 10 years old and inGrade 5 at Burnaby’s SperlingElementary. “I like that I’mdoing what I love.”

That love, of course, would beperforming.

Neither girl is a stranger tothe world of singing, dancingand acting in front of crowds.

Aubrey – who appears asKate – started her acting careerat the age of eight, when sheplayed Matilda in her schoolproduction of Willy Wonkaand then appeared as Marta inFootlight Theatre’s The Soundof Music. A year later, she wascast as a featured munchkin inFootlight’s The Wizard of Oz, andat age 11 played Mabel in herschool’s production of I Need aChristmas Vacation.

She also plays the violin andsings with a Coastal SoundMusic Academy choir, as wellas taking creative dance withArtSpace.

Avril – who plays Pepper aswell as understudying Annie– studies musical theatre anddance at Lindbjerg Academyof Performing Arts. She’s beenin four shows with Lindbjerg

Academy and recently appearedin Align Entertainment’s ShrekThe Musical. At last year’sKiwanis Fraser Valley MusicFestival, she won the BestBroadway Performance award.

They’re both thrilled to bepart of the cast for Annie.

“I love the music, I’ve alwaysloved the music,” Avril says,noting that she got the CD whenshe was little and listened to itover and over and over again.

They both love the choreog-raphy created by director ValerieEaston for the Royal City pro-duction, and they’re excited toperform with the full orchestra.

And they also like the chanceto get onstage and get dressedup – or is that down? – in theirragged orphan clothes, withmessy hair and dark blush togive them dirty faces. Except,that is, for those itchy bloomers– which they were horrified tolearn children did, indeed, usedto have to wear for real.

“I feel bad for the people backthen,” Avril says, her lively faceexpressing her disgust at the

idea.Bloomers, aside, however,

the two are delighted with thechance to play children whoaren’t much like their real-lifeselves.

“I love my character,” saysAubrey. “I love how no one inthe orphanage is like peachesand cream, they’re all tough.”

Avril agrees.“Mine is super-

tough,” she says. “She’skind of given up hopethat her parents arecoming for her, and shemakes herself feel betterby picking on everybody else.”

(Which is, mom Tara McBeansays, the absolute opposite of thereal-life Avril, who she describesas a collaborator and a mediator.She says with a laugh that she’sjust hoping Avril doesn’t startliking Pepper’s personality just alittle too much.)

Pepper, incidentally, is arole that’s near and dear to theheart of Cassady Ranford, theNew Westminster resident whoappears in this production as

Daddy Warbucks’ secretary,Grace.

Ranford’s first appearancein Annie was as the tough littleorphan in a New WestminsterSecondary School production ofAnnie.

Ranford, a graduate of themusical theatre program atCapilano University, is thrilled tobe working on the show again as

an adult, and to exploreanother side of the pro-duction that inspiredher to pursue a path inmusical theatre in thefirst place.

The show is no small under-taking for any of the cast mem-bers.

The orphans are on hand forthree to four rehearsals a week– including some full days onweekends. Avril has to devoteeven more time than the otherorphans because she’s at mostrehearsals to the bitter end,learning the Annie part shouldshe have to step in for JuliaMacLean.

There’s the occasional morn-

ing where their parents havekept them home from school tillmorning recess just to give thema chance to sleep in and recoverfrom the night before, but theyboth embrace the challenge.

For McBean, seeing herdaughter come alive with enthu-siasm has made the investmentof time and energy worthwhile.

“What I really love is thatshe comes home and talks aboutwhat a great time she’s had witheverybody. The fondness for thegroup, that to me is value for allour time and effort,” she says.“She’s just really excited aboutbeing a part of it.”

The two girls say they’reenjoying working with the RoyalCity Musical Theatre company,which has given them a chanceto reconnect with some perform-ing friends and make some newones – including each other.

And they both enjoy workingwith the adult members of thecast, too.

“I like when adults don’t treatyou like kids, you’re also friends

Get ready for Royal City’s Annie

It’s a hard-knock life: The cast of the Royal City Musical Theatre production of Annie, including New West’s own Cassady Ranford (front,in blue suit) as Grace, Julia MacLean as Annie and Steve Maddock as Daddy Warbucks.

with the adults,” Avril says.For Aubrey, there’s an extra-special

reason to enjoy working with the adults –Daddy Warbucks is being played by noneother than her own real-life dad, well-known local performer Steve Maddock.

“To be involved in a show with my kidis a delight,” he says with a smile. “Whoknows when this will happen again?”

Maddock adds he’s thrilled to be tak-ing part in this show – the company’s25th anniversary performance – becausethe group has done so much for his life asa performer.

Royal City Musical Theatre Companygave him his first performing opportu-nity, in the 1997 production of Guys andDolls, when he moved West from Ontario.He’s since appeared in the company’sproductions of The Sound of Music andCarousel.

“I was delighted to get cast in thisrole,” he said. “Royal City, they’ve donea lot for me and my career. To be able toparticipate in their 25th anniversary ispretty special.”

Several New Westminster residentshave key behind-the-scenes roles in theproduction: Chelsea Carlson as produc-tion manager, Omanie Elias as set design-er, Chris Sinosich as costume designer,Suzanne Ouelette as assistant choreogra-pher and Jessica Hildebrand as assistantstage manager.

Annie is onstage April 10 through 26at the Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave.,New Westminster.

Arty in the ’BoroChildren in

Queensborough are beinginvited to get arty.

The Artists in the Borogroup is sponsoring an artinvitational for local childrenaged five to 12. (Thanks toSaniki Creations for sharingthis one on Facebook – whichis where I spotted it.)

The theme is “What I likeabout Queensborough,” andchildren are invited to createart in any form – drawing,painting, colouring, collage –on an eight-by-10-inch paper

(plus a plain one-inch borderfor matting).

The art should reflect whatthe young artist most enjoysabout where s/he lives.

On the back of the work,artists should print theirname, the title of their picture,phone number and, if pos-sible, an email address of aparent or guardian.

Kids’ art programsWhile we’re on the subject

of young artists, I thought I’dshine a spotlight on a few ofthe offerings from the city’sspring Leisure Guide.

Since it’s 84 pages long, Iwon’t try to mention every-thing, but rest assured there’ssomething for everyone!

It seems that we heardaily about motorvehicles and their

role in our local bridges,transportation systems,traffic patterns and pollu-tion. Whether discussingTransLink, SkyTrain or thePattullo Bridge, the historyof the motor vehicle is anintegral part of the story.

As we follow the storyfrom the early 1900s, weare able to watch carsand trucks as they appearon the local scene andlead, sometimes quickly,to other innovations andinventions. Last year wetouched on this storythrough a walking tour,a couple of presentationsand a series of Our Pastcolumns. It is a part of ourlocal history that peoplereally enjoy.

Today, women holda prominent positionin the world of motorvehicles from design tosales. Seventy years ago,

an article accompanyinga multi-page promotionalpiece about a car showin New Westminster,singled out the female role– a newer approach to theautomobile.

This was all part of thefirst auto show in NewWestminster which washeld in Queen’s Park withgreat fanfare. The article,“Fair sex have the lastword in car design,” setsout the story with someinteresting comments.

“A few years ago theworkings of the motorcar were a mystery to theaverage woman. When shefirst learned to drive shewould have been told to‘pull this lever’ and ‘shiftthat one.’ Today she isasking questions and shewants to know why andwhat for … she wants tofind out for herself whatit’s all about … she asksabout gas mileage. Shewants a car that is eco-nomical.”

The article furtherconcludes: “The mod-ern woman has not onlybecome a potent factor inthe buying of motor cars,she has become a verystrong influence in theirmaking.” One line empha-sizes that this was more

than just good looks: “notonly from a style, but froma mechanical standpointtoo.”

The aspect of targetingthe female opinion andapproach is clearly stated:“If the lady of the houselooks over the prospectivecar with her husband andshe doesn’t like it, you canbet your life that her hus-band dare not bring thatnew car home unless he isa very brave man.”

It is a part of historythat is a great creator ofmemories. We think ofa first car, a particularlyattractive colour of vehicle,and sometimes a car thatwas “part of the fam-ily” and was genuinely“mourned” when tradedin for a new model.

Last June, GaryMiller was at the NewWestminster HistoricalSociety to talk about autohistory. Gary is an expertin all things automotive– facts and figures, trivia,and more.

He will be back onWednesday, April 16,starting at 7:30 p.m. in theNew Westminster PublicLibrary auditorium. Mixedwith some Royal City carstories, this will be anothergreat presentation.

Spring arrived this year at the NewWestminster Public Library with some-thing green – our new mobile app!

The NWPL app allows users to easilyaccess, through a mobile-friendly inter-face, all the features of the library cata-logue, including checking their libraryaccounts.

Launched on March 14, the app isavailable for both iOS and Android mar-kets and can be downloaded for free fromthe app stores by using “NWPL” as a

keyword.It’s never been easier to access the

NWPL’s collection, browse The Globe andMail bestsellers list or see what has beenordered recently.

Check out recently reviewed titlesby tapping on the book covers underExplore.

Use the Search feature to either locateitems by using keywords or scan publish-ers’ barcodes to check whether the itemsare available at the library.

My NWPL has all the informationabout your library account.

Users can simply log in with their

username or library barcode and PIN,and get instant access to their libraryaccount: checked out items, holds, myshelves, recent returns or fines.

It is very convenient to see when theborrowed items are due, place and man-age holds, rate titles, create lists and sharereviews.

Both of the library branches, includingtheir addresses and phone numbers, arelisted under Locations.

With a simple tap you can get direc-tions to the closest branch and call oremail the library. Library hours and theholiday closures are literally at your

fingertips.Another advantage to using the app

is that it stores your library barcode. Thismeans that you don’t have to carry yourcard with you when visiting the library,as long as you have your phone or tabletwith you.

NWPL app makes it easy to find thetitles you’re looking for, discover newtitles, manage your account, create andshare lists, connect with other users, andget information about library branches– anytime and anywhere.

Download it today!See more at www.nwpl.ca.

Movie TotsWoot woot! On behalf

of parents of babies andtots everywhere, I would

like to send up a big cheerto New West’s LandmarkCinemas for introducingMovie Tots.

Yes – much like itscounterparts Movies forMommies, or Stars andStrollers at Cineplex – thescreenings give parents achance to bring their babesalong to see a brand-newfirst-run movie in the com-fortable surroundings ofLandmark Cinemas.

Lights are up, volumeis down, and there’s roomto park your strollers andsettle in to enjoy a film– without worrying aboutgetting a sitter.

I haven’t had theopportunity to check outthe Landmark version ofthe movies for moms, butas a former attendee ofStars and Strollers, I haveto say I give the concepttwo thumbs-up. It’s a greatway to get out and social-ize and enjoy a grown-uppastime while still spend-ing time with your babe.

Movie Tots’ next screen-ing is Tuesday, April 8.The movie choice was justannounced this week – it’llbe a 12:55 p.m. screeningof Captain America: TheWinter Soldier, starringChris Evans, Samuel L.Jackson, Robert Redfordand Scarlett Johansson.Fun times!

Are you a mom ordad who plans to attend?Shoot me a message to letme know how it was. I’msure other readers will becurious about your experi-

ence!Keep an eye on www.

landmarkcinemas.com/new-westminster fornew announcements orupdates.

Yes, I’ve filled it outalready – and don’t worry,it’s straightforward anddoesn’t take long at all.Check it out at tinyurl.com/NWChildCareSurvey.

Soap-making funHere’s one for parents

and kids that gives you achance to learn together

– and take home a nicetreat at the same time.

In response to a recentcall for family-friendlyevent ideas, reader CarineMcEwen offered up agreat suggestion: soap-making sessions withJolene at the Artisan Shopat River Market.

Carine recently wentwith her six-year-olddaughter.

“That was very nice,”she wrote. “We are givena pound of glycerin soapeach, and we pick fra-grances, dried flowersand glitter and colours. Ittakes an hour-and-a-half,the children and the momhave a wonderful time andgo home with beautifulsoaps. It costs $10/personand is totally worth it.”

Drop-in soap makingsessions run Thursdaysthrough Mondays between11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Checkout the River Market web-site, www.rivermarket.ca,or email [email protected] for moredetails. (Please note: It’snot for the tiniest tots – thesessions are designed forparticipants aged six andup.)

Do you have an item ofinterest to local families? Doyou run a group that parentsshould know about? SendFamily Ties ideas to Julie,[email protected], or find her on Twitter,@juliemaclellan.

Inter FC winssecond cup

Inter FC completedan unlikely ride to theImperial Cup following a 1-0 overtime victory over thehighly favoured ColumbusFC at Trillium Park lastSaturday.

The wingave Inter justits second-everImperial Cupand a seed intothe upcomingProvincial Cup.Inter won itsfirst cup in 2001but went tothree consecu-tive but unsuc-cessful finalgames between2005 and ‘07.

“We knewwe had the ability. We hadto get everyone healthy andon the same page,” saidInter coach Joe Marrello.“We really put togethera good run and deservedthe final. I think we hadthe edge. We played betterover the 120 minutes.”

The difference in thecup final came down totwo late-season pickupsfrom the 13-time CanadianInteruniversity Sportschampion University ofBritish Columbia varsityteam.

The game-winner camelate in the second over-time period when third-year UBC midfielder MiladMehrabi, a CIS tournamentall-star, took a brilliantthrough ball from sopho-more Thunderbird school-mate Bryan Fong and

beat a couple of defendersbefore slotting the ball intothe back of the net with ahard low shot to the cornerfrom the top of the penaltyarea.

Fong and co-defenderJordan Michael were bothsolid on the Inter backend, limiting chances for

the Columbusstrikers.

F o rC o l u m b u s ,Luca Bellisomoone-timed aSteve DeBlasiocorner kick justover the cross-bar in the 70thminute, while aBlair Robertsoncross was head-ed just wideof the goal byGraham Smith

in the first overtime.M a n - o f - t h e - m a t c h ,

Parker Ellis finally got the silver-ware he was after.

The talented EDC Burnaby strik-er scored the game-winning goalin overtime and was later namedcup tournament MVP following theteam’s 2-0 victory over GuildfordFC in the Vancouver Metro SoccerLeague under-21 division cup finalat Trillium Park last Saturday.

But it was hoisting the team tro-phy that meant the most to the 17-year-old Burnaby talent.

“It feels good to win the cup. Itfeels good to be recognized as well,but it felt really good to win,” saidEllis earlier this week.

Earlier this season, Ellis was a

key component in Burnaby CentralSecondary’s silver-medal run thatdisappointedly ended with a 2-1overtime loss to Sutherland at theB.C. high school soccer champion-ships, where the senior forward gar-nered both MVP and Golden Bootawards.

“They’re different,” Ellis said ofthe two championships. “I was apart of a team as opposed to being aleader of the high school team.”

Ellis joined the former Chileanclub midway through the season fol-lowing the end of High PerformanceLeague play with Mountain FC.

With a signed commitment toplay at Simon Fraser University inSeptember, Ellis made a seamlessjump to the men’s division leagueunder former youth coach John

Penman.“(Ellis) is always welcome on my

team. He was a great addition, andhe’s a great finisher,” said Penman,the u-21 club head coach.

Ellis scored the eventual game-winner with six minutes remainingin the second OT period, collecting aclever chip over the Guildford backline from Suki Shergill and taking atouch before blasting the ball fromthe edge of the 18-yard box to thebottom corner of the goal.

Three minutes later, KuroushFaritous sealed the win for EDCBurnaby off a series of reboundscoming off a counter attack.

With the win, EDC Burnaby willbe seeded into the upcoming u-21Provincial Cup against Gorge FCfrom the Vancouver Island league.

Cougars win cup in league debutThe New West Cougars

are Metro Women’s SoccerLeague success story.

The first-year over-30club side won the Classicsbronze division cham-pionship with a 2-1 vic-tory over the Westside RedDevils at Burnaby LakeSports Complex-West onMarch 30.

Liz Porter scored bothgoals for the Cougars,who were the brainchildof player/manangerCourtenay Edwardes.

“I just wanted to play

soccer and play in NewWest,” said Edwardes, whoenticed as many friends asshe could to come out andplay in order to put togeth-er the 20-player side.

With nearly half theteam new to the gameof soccer, and few otherswith much post-secondaryexperience at all, the first-year side stumbled out ofthe blocks, losing four ofits first five games whiletying the other, beforefinding a coach approxi-mately two months intothe season.

“We literally went froma team of mismatched

moms to winning thecup,” said Edwardes, whogave up playing club soc-cer as a teen in the 1990s.“But more importantly itwas a good experience,especially for those whohadn’t played before.”

Porter scored the even-tual game-winning goal inthe first half on a shot tothe top corner of the netfrom near the 18-yard box.

Christy Beattie regis-tered the win in goal aftersome stellar goalkeeping.

New West took a 2-0lead in the second halfon Porter’s second of thegame before Westside

managed a late counter.The win has made

believers out of the teamof friends, the vast major-ity of whom grew up inthe Royal City and stilllive in the area.

“All the girls arehooked,” remarkedEdwardes, who hasalready signed up thenucleus of the Cougarsteam for spring soccer.“We just want to get betterand improve our skills.”

The Cougars complet-ed their first full seasonof club socccer in secondplace with a record of 7-5-1.
