AMBULANCE SERVICE
Changestirs upfears
New Westminster is sound-ing alarms about changes tothe way
ambulances will bedispatched in B.C.
Council has spoken outagainst the B.C. EmergencyHealth Services
resource allo-cation plan, fearing it wouldcause delays in the
dispatchof ambulances and increasedemand for fire services toattend
and remain at calls.
Coun. Chuck Puchmayrbelieves the proposal is anattempt to reduce
calls made bythe B.C. Ambulance Service byoffloading calls to fire
depart-ments. He believes the changewill increase costs to the
cityand will put citizens at riskbecause of delayed
responsetimes.
Coun. Betty McIntoshopposed councils recommen-dation to strongly
oppose theB.C.EmergencyHealthServicesboards resource
allocationplan, without getting moreinformation about the
proposalfrom the organization. She saidthe plan is designed to
clean upissues related to the dispatch ofambulances to medical
calls.
Its a different way of dis-patching, she said of the pro-posal.
Its a way to make itsafer for everyone in the com-munity.
McIntosh, who worked asa registered nurse at Royal
Uptown eyes a new future
Uptown businesses want what the down-town already has with a
twist.
The Uptown New West BusinessAssociation has presented the city
with aproposal to establish a business improve-ment area that would
help fund street beau-tification, on-street activity, marketing
andpromotion, and outreach to some commu-nity groups. Its vision is
to create a vibrant,
pedestrian-oriented commercial district thatserves local
citizens and attracts visitors fromthroughout the region.
Bart Slotman, a member of the steeringcommittee that considered
the idea, said theaverage retailer, with 20 feet of
storefront,would pay $386 annually into the UptownNew Westminster
Business ImprovementArea.
Theres an awful lot of benefit the aver-age retailer gets for
$35 a month, he told TheRecord. Theres three street events,
theresthe dcor part of it with banners, baskets,Christmas lights
and all those things. Theresthe common promotion activities we want
todo to draw more people to the uptown area,and for advertising the
area. Theres also an
outreach component to this we want topartner with other
community groups andsee if there are ways we can support
othergroups, but do it in a way that is mutuallybeneficial.
Slotman cited programs that employ peo-ple at risk of
homelessness or with mentaldisabilities to do street cleaning and
creatingnew items from street banners as potentialexamples of
community outreach initiatives.
The Uptown Property Group, which ownsseveral buildings in the
area, has paid forbaskets, banners and street dcor in front ofits
properties.

Larco and Sapperton Green aresure to keep the citys
planningstaff on the go in 2014.
Bev Grieve, the citys managerof development services, said
thetwo projects are priorities for herdepartment this year.
Those are the two big ones,she said. Our work plan is
abso-lutely full.
Staff will also get started onupdating NewWestminsters offi-cial
community plan.
You are going to see somepreliminary work on the
officialcommunity plan for real thisyear. We are really excited
aboutQueensborough being finalized.We can turn our attention
towardthe mainland, Grieve told TheRecord. We have a work planthats
ready to go. Youll see bitsand pieces of the research workbeing
done.
InDecember, the cityunveiled awaterfront vision concept plan
forthe Larco site at 660 Quayside Dr.Under the current zoning, the
sitecould accommodate five highrisetowers, but under the vision
pro-posed by the city it would havethree highrises, a 150-room
hotel,an extended waterfront esplanadeand child care space.
That is moving along verywell. We will be moving towardsthe
rezoning of the site early inJanuary, Grieve said. We will
beintroducing the rezoning applica-tion to council. Thats a huge
oneon our radar.
While rezonings most oftencome from the developer, the citywill
be initiating the rezoning pro-cess for the Larco site.
We have beenworking incred-ibly close with Larco, but it will
bea city initiative, Grieve said.
The city has held workshopsand open houses as part of themaster
planning process for thesite, and residents will get achance to
comment on the planduring the rezoning process.
I have to say the feedback hasbeen very, very positive and
thepeople are quite excited about
implementing the vision for thedowntown, Grieve said. Theissues
that people raise, the bigone of course is traffic. We areworking
with the applicant, ourconsultants, in looking at thatissue and
making sure that wecan address it.
At the same time that the cityunveiled the new vision conceptfor
the Larco site, it also pre-sented a downtown parking strat-
egy. Among the recommendationswas the demolition of a portion
ofthe Front Street parkade.
You are going to be seeing areport to council within the nexttwo
months on that, an actionplan to move forward on that,Grieve said.
The timeframe weare looking for it to come downis within three
years. There werea number of preconditions that

NewWestminster school trust-ees voted unanimously to moveforward
with the name cole JohnRobson for the new Grade 6 to8 middle school
being built nextyear.
Trustee David Phelan madea motion to endorse the name,which was
recommended lastyear by a naming committee, at aschool board
committee meetingon Tuesday night.
This is a name with a lot ofhistory, Phelan told the board.
He acknowledged that Robson,theman,was controversialfigure like
most of thepoliticians of his time, hesupported racist
policiesagainst both Chinese andFirst Nations people butadded that
hewas a strongsupporter of the womenssuffrage movement and ofwomens
rights in general.Robson is the former pre-mier of British
Columbiaand is the namesake ofVancouvers famed shop-ping strip.
Trustee Lisa Graham said
she would have liked it if thenaming committeeprovided a couple
ofoptions, including Dr.Ethlyn Trapp, a NewWestminster-born
med-ical pioneer. The radio-therapist was instru-mental in the
openingof the British ColumbiaCancer Institute.
If you want to talkabout history, and thefact that the site on
thatvery site was the for-mer T.J. Trapp school,
Graham said, adding that there
are no schools in the city namedafter New
Westminster-bornwomen.
Both Phelan and Grahamwere on the committee, whichalso came up
with the namefor the new elementary school:Qayqayt. The name comes
fromthe Qayqayt First Nation (pro-nounced Kee-Kite), also knownas
the New Westminster IndianBand. It roughly translates intoresting
place.
The committee was reallythoughtful in how they deliber-ated,
Graham said.

Columbian Hospital formany years, said there aretimes when
ambulancesare called and they are toldits a red light call withred
lights and sirens, whenits not needed.
McIntosh said shecouldnt support councilsmotion without
gettingmore information about theplan from B.C. EmergencyHealth
Services. She saidshe spoke to the citysfire chief a few weeks
agoabout the proposal and hedidnt seem all that con-cerned about
the proposedchanges.
Coun. Bill Harper saidthe fire chief voiced con-cerns about the
proposedchanges at Mondays com-mittee of the whole meet-ing, and he
cant under-stand McIntoshs positionon this issue. He said somecalls
now being serviced byambulances wouldnt be inthe future.
Harper believes thereare incidents where it isntclear what kind
of responseis needed when someonefirst calls for assistance.
If you are having apanic attack, you some-times dont know what
isgoing on, he said.
Harper views thechanges as another form ofdownloading from
senior
governments. He noted thecitys fire trucks will be onthe roads
more, as theyllbe attending calls thatwould have been served
byambulances.
Puchmayr also believesthat the issue ofsafety of inter-sections
whenambulances aredriving with redlights and sirensis another
redherring thatsbeen presentedas part of thechange in ser-vice.
Theres noevidence thatambulancesgoing on Code 3sare causing
accidents, hesaid.
Council approved amotion to assert the pro-tocols will not just
offloadB.C. Ambulance Servicesto city fire services, at anincreased
cost to local gov-ernments, or put patientsat serious risk. The
city willask a representative fromthe B.C. Emergency HealthServices
to attend a futurecouncil meeting to addressthe issue.
McIntosh urged peoplewatching Monday nightscouncil meeting not
to bediscouraged from calling911, if needed.
You will get theresponse needed, period,she said.
In November, Burnabycouncil expressed concernabout the resource
alloca-tion changes announced
in October. Eventhough ambulanc-es will still attendcalls,
Burnabycouncil also fearscitizens will befaced with longerwaits for
ambulanc-es to arrive and fireservice personnelcould miss
othercalls while waitingwith patients forambulances.
KelsieCarwithen, B.C.
Emergency Health Servicesspokesperson, told theBurnaby NOW that
thechanges are meant toincrease the number ofroutine calls. The
decisionto change the resourceallocation plan came outof a review
that happensregularly, and changesare based on medical evi-dence,
including a reviewof 630,000 patient recordsby physicians and a
work-ing group.
Carwithen stressed thedecision is not a cost-sav-ing measure
because anambulance will still attendevery call.
An alarming phone call sparked a tem-porary lockdown of a local
school by NewWestminster police on Jan. 21.
According to Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland,police received a report
indicating fourmen armed with guns entered an apart-ment building
in the 800-block of McBrideBoulevard.
As you can imagine this elicited asignificant police response,
includingmembers of the (Lower Mainland District)emergency response
team, Hyland said inan email to The Record.
By about 11:40 a.m., people in the areawere tweeting there were
about 10 policecars and several officers surrounding
the apartment building. Access to MottCrescent was closed for a
short while andF.W. Howay Elementary School was alsoput on a
temporary lockdown as policesearched the area for the suspects,
Hylandwrote.
F.W. Howay school was put on a tem-porary lockdown out of an
abundance ofcaution, particularly due to the fact that itwas near
the lunch break and we did notwant the kids out while the search
for theseindividuals was going on, he added.
After an extensive search, police wereunable to find any trace
of the suspects.According to Hyland, investigators nowbelieve the
call was unfounded.
F.W. Howay was reopened shortlyafter.

Any way you look at it, smoking is afilthy habit.
It fouls smokers lungs.It fouls the air around smokers air
that ends up in non-smokers lungs, too.It creates a foul stench
that
hangs about smokers and theenvironments they frequent.
It creates a dirty amber-yel-low film that coats surfacesand
stains skin and teeth.
It makes people sick.And it makes people dead a fact
recognized 50 years ago this month by
the U.S. Surgeon General, the first gov-ernment agency worldwide
to publiclyacknowledge the dangers of smoking.
Smoking is such a filthy habit that itsimply takes your breath
away.
And all along the way, itcosts both smokers and non-smokers a
lot of money.
The cost of treating dis-eases caused by tobacco
consumption is huge, and the cost oftobacco-related health
problems to thegeneral economy is astronomical.
It goes without saying that the cost
in human suffering caused by smokingand other tobacco
consumption super-sedes any monetary price tag. About 17per cent of
British Columbians smoketobacco. And about 6,000 die every yearfrom
causes directly attributed to tobac-co smoke.
And its not just the smokers who suf-fer.
B.C.s Smoking Cessation Programand QuitNow services have
alreadyhelped hundreds of thousands of BritishColumbians protect
their own healthand that of their families. Support in
quitting as well as free smoking cessa-tion aids are easily
accessible by callingHealthLink B.C. at 811 or visiting
www.quitnow.ca.
This week is National Non-SmokingWeek a week and a day to
encour-age smokers to rethink an unhealthylifestyle choice. The
hope is that theyextend their abstinence to improve theirhealth and
spare those around them thedamage that smoking causes.
Its time to catch your breath.Its time to quit.
guest editorial from the Langley Advance
Steal better ideasfrom other citiesIt may be wise old
KingSolomon who is credited withthe phrase, there is nothingnew
under the sun, but anyonewho has read brochures put outby municipal
election candidatescan attest to that pearl of wis-dom.
This November,thousands of candi-dates will seek officein city
halls acrossBritish Columbia, looking toserve their fellow
taxpayers asa mayor, councillor or director.Their brochures will
offer famil-iar themes: warm, fuzzy picturesof landmarks in their
commun-ity; and the usual vague prom-ises to spend tax dollars
wiselyand make their particular cityhall more transparent.
Taxpayersneed more than platitudes.
Municipal government in B.C.is a $10.8-billion business morethan
the combined budgetsof the provincial ministries ofaboriginal
relations, advancededucation, agriculture, childrenand family
development, cit-izens services, energy, environ-ment, finance,
forests, jobs,justice, social development andtransportation, and
the premiersoffice.
Needless to say, taxpayersdeserve more than the
same-old,same-old from potential mayorsand councillors. We want
detailsand real ideas. And, in a worldwhere there is nothing
newunder the sun, one hopes that afew ideas that have popped upin
cities across B.C. might takeroot everywhere. Candidates
looking to hold the line on taxesshould look first at labour
costsand work by Prince George andPenticton.
Penticton set the standard formunicipal labour negotiationsby
negotiating down starting
wages. Three years ago,a core review showedPenticton was
payinglifeguards and parksstaff $8 more per hour
than private operators in thesame community. That corereview
gave Penticton councilthe ammunition it needed topush for a better
deal. Startingwages were slashed by $5 anhour. Meanwhile,
Pentictonfound other efficiencies withinmunicipal departments,
elimin-ating overlap of personnel andequipment. The result: a
three-year property tax freeze.
This month, Prince Georgecouncil went even further whenit
settled a four-year contractwith its union. The first twoyears were
net zero the samemodel used by the provincialgovernment to hold the
line onits labour costs. After 28 years ofannual increases in pay,
PrinceGeorge stuck to their guns even in the face of a
one-daywalkout and got two years atnet zero, followed by two
yearsof very small raises.
(Continual raises are) notsustainable for the taxpayer thathas
reached a tipping point intheir ability to pay, said MayorShari
Green.

Coal transport bad for localsDear Editor:
Re: Coal is critical to B.C. economy, In MyOpinion, The Record,
Jan. 10.
We understand that Messrs. Gordienko et al feelCoal is critical
to B.C. economy. They point outthat they are not doctors. Fine. So
we will not payheed to their medical opinions.
Suggesting the proposed Fraser Surrey DocksU.S. coal expansion
will have no ill health effects inthe city is silly.
Anyone familiar with the history of London inthe Industrial
Revolution or who has visited Chinarecently is quite familiar with
the joys of manyforms of pollution provoked by the mining,
trans-porting and use of coal. Saying it isnt so does notchange
historic facts or make all the ills disappear.
Apparently, these particular union leaders also
lack strength in the area of macroeconomics. Pleaseexplain how
the Fraser Surrey Docks U.S. coal pro-posal benefits the B.C. coal
industry when the coalit proposes to ship is from the U.S.
We note various patriotic statements regard-ing employment in
B.C. all 25 jobs. Im all forit! However, thousands and thousands of
NorthAmerican jobs are lost to the value-added produc-tion China
enjoys as a result of imported coal (forthermo electric or steel
production). Im not forthat.
This U.S. coal displaces steel production inCanada. It
stimulates all manner of tertiary pos-itions. It creates large
volumes of building materialsin China and promotes huge movement of
goodsimported from China to Canada. Give your emptyheads a shake,
gentlemen! This has a doubly nega-tive impact on Canadian
employment, unions and

Transport best for U.S.Dear Editor:
Re: Coal is critical to B.C. economy, InMy Opinion, The Record,
Jan. 10.
In response to Mark Gordienkos letter,it all sounds wonderful
with the jobs andrevenue produced by the coal industry inB.C. But
this is entirely separate from thecoal dock planned at Fraser
Surrey Docks.
Opponents of the dock have no problemwith the B.C. metallurgical
coal, mined,transported and exported for steel manu-facturing. What
we have a major prob-lem with is the fact that the thermal
coalplanned for Fraser Surrey Docks will havebeen mined in Wyoming
by U.S. miners,transported on U.S. trains manned by U.S.crews all
the way to the docks.
This we are told would result in anadditional 25 jobs (which
could be reducedby automation).
In any case, B.C. is being used as asoft touch due to the public
outcry inWashington and Oregon where, of sixdocks planned, three
have been cancelled
and there is some doubt whether the otherthree will ever come to
fruition due to theirmuch more stringent environmental andpublic
input processes.
Another aspect is it of no consequencethat for every tonne of
coal burned, morethan two tonnes of pollution are emittedinto the
atmosphere, much of which fallson our part of North America?
Also the horrendous pollution caused,we are now told, results in
up to half a mil-lion (yes, half a million) deaths in
Chinaannually.
Obviously, the U.S. wants to sell theircoal PDQ before China
says enough of thisinsanity. I rest my case.

Ad a freedom of thoughtDear Editor:
Re: Christian upset over billboard, TheRecord, Jan. 3.
The front page article about the Centreof Inquiry Canadas
billboard is thoughtprovoking. Someone who is not a christiandoes
not mean they are anti-god. Inquiringis a gift of our brains, our
minds and oneway humans grow.
Mark Jaskela says that somehowbelief in the Bible is some kind
of assaultto freedom of thought
Well, isnt the billboard a freedom ofthought and not to be
assaulted?
The motive behind the ad may be topromote evidence-based
thinking and away to get energy around creation andvalues.
If christians like Jaskela feel this freedomof speech has gone
too far, I ask, What isbeing threatened here and why feel
threat-ened from a different way of believing?If we are free to
believe within reason, asquoted in the article, who defines
withinreason?

licences have long beenan annoyance to entre-preneurs. While
somejurisdictions have tried topush regional licences, thebest
solution can be foundin the City of Langford,which decided to
scrapannual business licencesaltogether. Instead,Langford
businesses willpay the old fee once for aperpetual licence.
As Mayor StewartYoung pointed out aboutthe old annual
system,What are we going to do(if they dont pay)? Kickthem out?
Theyre alreadyemploying people. Werehappy theyre here inLangford.
They give usthree times the (property)

Langford expects tomake up most of lostannual revenue

it stronger, said Slotman,vice-president of theUptown Property
Group.The BIA would actuallyenable the uptown area todo a lot more
of that. I thinkit would create a strongeridentity and create a
stron-ger retail district.
The establishment of anUptown New WestminsterBusiness
ImprovementArea would generate rev-enue to help fund initiativesin
an area bordered by FifthStreet and Eighth Street andFifth Avenue
and EighthAvenue.
We are not talking abouta lot of money, Slotmansaid. Those
dollars willstretch a long ways andmake the area a lot
stron-ger.
Several property ownersand businesses were partof the steering
committeethat considered the possibil-ity of creating a
businessimprovement area.
It was very much driv-en from the retail businessperspective,
Slotman said.We know there is goodbuy-in. There will always bea few
people who say nay tosomething like that. Thereare always some
naysayers.We have done quite a bit ofresearch, talked to lots
ofpeople, and we know thatthe support is there.
The City of New
Westminster would col-lect a levy from propertyowners in the
UptownNew Westminster BusinessImprovement Area. TheUptown New
WestminsterBIA would not have anoffice or staff, as a differ-ent
model is being proposedfrom what exists in thedowntown.
This is purely a fund-ing mechanism. One hun-dred per cent of
the fundsgo directly into those pro-grams, Slotman said. Itsnot a
layer of managementor administration wherethe money is spent. It
goesdirectly to programs. A lotof businesses, once theystarted
understanding that,there was a lot of supportfor the overall
concept of aBIA.
On Jan. 20, NewWestminster city councilreceived a report about
theestablishment of an UptownNew Westminster BusinessImprovement
Area andgave three readings to abylaw. Council also directedstaff
to undertake a pub-lic process, as required bythe Community
Charter,to allow affected propertyowners to petition againstthe
initiative.
A staff report states thatcouncil may proceed withthe initiative
unless thereis sufficient petition againstit by property owners.
Its
anticipated the BIA wouldbe established effective July1.
According to Slotman,the BIA would not onlyhelp fund initiatives
in thecommercial area but alsoexpand them and distributethe costs
equitably.
If you look at it his-torically, when we first didthe Christmas
lights it wasjust in front of WestminsterCentre. We paid for
them.We had a lot of people callus and say, Hey, how comeyou got
the lights and wedidnt? The answer to thatis we paid and you
didntpay for it. A lot of peoplefrom the other blocks havebeen
calling us and sayingWe want that too, he said.I think the BIA
would be amechanism where we couldpay for all of that.
Slotman also believes theboundaries of the proposedbusiness
improvement areacould be extended in thefuture, once property
own-ers in other parts of theuptown see the benefit ofthe BIA.
What we want to dois get this BIA established,let it prove
itself, all thethings it can do. What I amhoping for is eventually
ayear or two years down theroad the people in the otherblocks see
the benefit of itandwant to be part of it, hesaid. We see it as a
future
expansion. We know withthe folks in those blocksthey are a bit
more skepti-cal. I think we have to proveourselves first before we
gettheir support. We did notwant to impose it on blockswhere the
support currentlyisnt there. Thats not whatwe want to do.

Sapperton: Mixed-usedevelopment planned
Robson: Final vote to come
were set we are working through those preconditions toensure
they are addressed.
Sapperton Green, a site located at Braid Avenue andBrunette
Street near the Braid SkyTrain station, is alsodestined for a
mixed-use development.
The applicant made an official community plan appli-cation,
Grieve said. We are working through the variousissues and
opportunities that that project is giving us.
In the first half of the year, city staff will be workingon a
number of reports to be presented to council aboutthe project.
A representative from Bentall-Kennedy appearedbefore council
last fall to discuss plans for the 38-acresite near the Coquitlam
border. At the time, some councilmembers expressed a strong desire
to see employmentgenerating uses at the site.
At this point there hasnt been discussion about whatthe
distribution of land use is, Grieve said. That is whatis really
whats next in terms of the work program for thatsite, to look at
the future. What will the future distributionof land use between
employment generation and residen-tial be? That, of course, turns
in to identifying what theneeds are for the site.
With the development to be located near the busyBraid and
Brunette intersection, transportation planninghas been front and
centre from the beginning and hasinvolved the applicant and its
planning consultants, thecity, the Ministry of Transportation and
TransLink, Grievesaid.
The naming of the newmiddle school was delayedfor a year. Board
of educa-tion chair Jonina Campbellsaid one of the reasons itwas
held up is that shewanted the new schoolnamed after a woman.
But upon further con-sideration, I also recognizethat a lot went
into thedecision to make to thisrecommendation to theboard, and I
respect that,she said.
Campbell also notedthat Robson was an advo-cate for womens
rights.
Every year he submit-ted a vote to give womenthe right to vote,
she said.He also was an advocatefor voter reform, and the
other thing is he was anadvocate for pubic educa-tion. Things I
can iden-tify with.
The middle school namewill come before trusteesagain at a
meeting on Jan.28, where they will votefor a final time on
whetheror not to approve the newname.
The public will also havean opportunity to weigh inon the name
at the meeting.The new middle school isslated to be built in
2015.

ON THE TOWNAround Town: RCMTs Annie opens Show of Hearts P15Top
5 Things To Do this weekend P18
Since its founding in 2007, PatrickStreet Productions has been
pushingthe boundaries of musical theatre forVancouver audiences
offering up showsthat might otherwise never have madetheir way to
the city.
Now, with its first ever two-playseason, the New Westminster
companyis stepping back into the golden age ofmusical theatre to
stage Out of a Dream, aRodgers and Hammerstein revue.
Out of a Dream runs Feb. 5 to 16 at theYork Theatre on
Commercial Drive.
New Westminsters Peter Jorgensen,co-artistic producer of Patrick
StreetProductions with his wife, Katey Wright is directing the
production.
That theyve chosen the work ofRichard Rodgers and Oscar
HammersteinII to open the season is, Jorgensen said, afitting
gesture for the company devotedto contemporary musical theatre.
Contemporary musical theatre reallybegan with them, and the
risks they tookas writers, he pointed out.
Patrick Streets second musical, whichfollows in March, is Floyd
Collins writ-ten by current Broadway phenom AdamGuettel, whose
Light in the Piazza was ahit for PSP in 2011. Guettel also
happensto be the grandson of Rodgers.
We just love the balance betweenthe two shows and the lineage
betweenRichard Rodgers and Adam Guettel,Jorgensen said.
Out of a Dream was created byJorgensen himself. There were
alreadysome Rodgers and Hammerstein revuesin existence, but
Jorgensen chose to cre-ate his own, he said, because none of
theexisting ones honoured the composers inthe way he wanted them to
be honoured.
Though hes long been a fan ofthe duos work, he said directing
theChemainus Theatre production ofOklahoma! a few years back gave
him anentirely new appreciation of their depths.
Really sitting down with the musicand lyrics and seeing how the
songs wereconstructed, there was so much sophis-ticated
craftsmanship in what they did,he said, adding his respect for
their workballooned after that. I wanted to createmy own tribute to
them.
Out of a Dream includes songs from all11 shows created by the
duo.
That includes the five big hits Oklahoma, Carousel, South
Pacific, The Kingand I, and The Sound of Music along with
the lesser-known State Fair and Cinderella,plus those shows that
were consideredflops Allegro, Pipe Dream, Me andJuliet, and Flower
Drum Song.
Jorgensen noted with a laugh that noneof them would be
considered failures bytodays standards, since they all ran forat
least 200 performances on Broadway.But they didnt achieve the same
level offame as other Rodgers and Hammersteinofferings.
In part, Jorgensen said, thats becausethe two were pushing the
boundaries ofmusical theatre.
Allegro, for instance, came into beingbetween Carousel and South
Pacific.
They created that show at the peak oftheir creativity together,
Jorgensen said,noting it shows in the music and in therisks they
took with it even including aGreek chorus to comment on the
action.
Jorgensen has woven together offer-ings from all 11 plays to
create an even-ing that he says will appeal to fans of the
golden era of musical theatre.Theyll be taken back to those
stories
they remember, he said. And theyrealso going to have some
surprises.
Jorgensen is particularly pleased withthe cast hes assembled for
the produc-tion.
Were lucky in Vancouver. Were asmaller market, but within our
marketwere got really top-notch performers, hepointed out.
Jorgensen has been able to assemble anA-list cast, including
Warren Kimmeland Caitriona Murphy, wholl be familiarfrom Arts Club
and Patrick Street produc-tions.
Theyre appearing alongside KayleeHarwood, best known locally for
herperformance as Cosette in the Arts ClubsLes Misrables. She also
went on to appearat the Stratford Festival and then onBroadway with
Stratfords Jesus ChristSuperstar, and this season, shell return
toOntario for her second season at the Shaw
Festival.Her career has really taken off,
Jorgensen says, noting hes thrilled tohave her in Out of a
Dream.
I feel like she was born to do Rodgersand Hammerstein the look,
the voice,the acting, its all there.
Theyre joined by two young perform-ers whom Jorgensen describes
as twohuge up-and-comers: Kazumi Evansand Sayer Roberts.
Evans who played Maria in RoyalCity Musical Theatres West Side
Story in2008 has been on Jorgensens radar forquite some time. Most
recently, he notes,while he was directing Arts Clubs AvenueQ, Evans
stepped in partway throughthe run when another performer had
towithdraw.
Roberts, meanwhile, is a NewWestminster native who most
recentlydazzled local audiences in last yearsRoyal City Musical
