City’s homeless drops 20 per cent26 fewer in New West compared to three years agoGrant [email protected]
New Westminster’s homelessness has dropped 20 per cent in the last three years, according to the latest count.
But there is a fear funding cuts have already turned that trend around.
The 2014 homeless count in Metro Vancouver conducted March 11-12 and released Thursday revealed there were 106 homeless people in New West that night.
That’s 26 less than 2011, the last time the count was made.
It was the first decrease the city has seen since the counts began in 2002.
Back then, 74 were found. That increased to 97 in 2005, 124 in 2008 and 132 in 2011.
The 20 per cent decrease reflects a collaborative effort by various community service providers and the city, said New Westminster Homelessness Coalition Society co-chair Lorrie Wasyliw.
Previously many of the organizations worked independently.
Business owners forge ahead hoping for payoff in long runGrant [email protected]
Step outside of Ana Matovinovic’s shop on Front Street and there’s construction and deconstruction either going on or being planned.
So it’s fitting it’s the same inside.Matovinovic is building an
espresso bar to go with her Localo Living ‘eclectic decor’ boutique. She’s made the bold move even
though construction in Downtown New Westminster is wreaking havoc with many of the area’s businesses. She’s expanding while others have left or are contemplating leaving.
Why?She sees a payoff
in the future.Matovinovic can’t
wait for the city to take down the west half of the Front Street Parkade.
When this happens next year, natural light will flood into her
store, and she expects customers will flood in, too, after the city beautifies the street.
“I believe in what Front Street is going to become. It will take a few months to anywhere near two years with the construction down here. I see the change that’s
happening now, and that’s because of new residents that are coming to New West,” says Matovinovic. “They’re going to be demanding
more services down here, different types of stores and coffee shops. It’s just the start of good things to come.”
Matovinovic admits her faith is more based on intuition than anything.
“I have to be honest with you, I am worried a little bit. It’s in the back of my mind,” she says.
“That is the key thing, the patience. I’m not one that has a lot of patience. It’s definitely teaching me to be patient, and to trust my sixth sense as well.”
Keeping the faith in Downtown
GRANT GRANGER/NEWSLEADERLocalo Living owner Ana Matovinovic is so optimistic about Front Street and Downtown New Westminster’s future she’s building an espresso bar next to her antique store despite all the construction going on and on the way that is having an effect on the area’s businesses.

But with the collaboration those who are homeless don’t have to go all over the city to get help, said Wasyliw, who is executive director of Monarch Place transition house for women.
Of the 106 New West homeless this year, 72 were found in shelters and 34 were unsheltered. There were 24 homeless children, 16 of them living in shelters, in the city. Eleven homeless were seniors with six of them living unsheltered.
New West made up four per cent of the region’s homeless. However, its total was exceeded only by Vancouver (1,803), Surrey (403) and the North Shore (119). It was greater than larger centres such as Langley (92), Ridge Meadows (92), Burnaby (58), Tri-Cities (55) and Richmond (38).
Waslyiw said accessible transit is one reason New Westminster’s count is higher than some bigger cities in the area. “We’re in the middle of everything,” she said. “It’s very easy for people
to be in New Westminster, get around New Westminster. And it is because we do have a strong presence of service provision in our city. Our mayor and city council have a strong commitment and are known for stepping up [on the homelessness issue].”
She is worried, however, the numbers have already started to grow because funding has been reduced to some of the city’s more effective programs. Wasyliw cited the Lookout Emergency
Aid Society’s contract to provide outreach and referral services not being renewed, the Senior Services Society’s contract to provide temporary housing to seniors was canceled, and the Hospitality Project’s funding to provide advocacy, outreach and referral services was cut off at the end of March.
She said the community is particularly missing the work the Hospitality Project did because its main focus was to provide service for the hidden homeless
like couch surfers staying with family or friends. It also helped prevent people from becoming homeless because they were about to be evicted by either helping them keep their place or find somewhere else for them to stay.
“We are significantly missing that service [from the Hospitality Project]. It was a great project,” said Wasyliw.
The count showed 18 of New West’s homeless have lived in the city at least 10 years while 25 had been in town for a year or less.
New West resident suggests solution is not allowing three-axle trailers on PattulloGrant [email protected]
Dave Tate is one New Westminster resident who doesn’t agree with city council’s position that trucks should be banned from three of its streets.
But he has a solution to ease the nightmare.
TransLink recently rejected the Royal City’s request to remove Royal Avenue, East Eighth Avenue and East Columbia Street as truck routes.
City council believes the livability for residents along those routes is being affected by the heavy truck traffic. The city made the request because it believes more trucks are travelling through New West to use the Pattullo Bridge and avoid tolls on the Port Mann.
“I’ve lived in New Westminster for more than 40 years and I’ve seen how the traffic has changed. It has increased yes, but to remove it from a truck route would be absolutely ridiculous,” said Tate, a commercial truck driver. “The trucks have to go somewhere. They would clog Front Street up.”
His solution is to ban trucks with three-axle trailers from using the Pattullo because they’re the heaviest on the road.
“That would diminish the truck traffic coming across that bridge dramatically,” said Tate.
If his rule was instituted it would require
enforcement. New Westminster is in the midst of
making a move to curb violators of current regulations. The city has hired a couple of commercial vehicle inspectors for the task. They’re still being trained but the dedicated unit is expected to be up and running by September, said Coun. Jaimie McEvoy.
Currently the city runs a monthly spot check that requires coordination with several agencies.
“Truckers will get the message ‘make sure your vehicle is safe or don’t go to New Westminster,’” said McEvoy. “We have to see the results. Restricting the traffic routes would have been an effective way of
limiting the effects on New Westminster residents. So we’re going to try a different way. It may not be as effective but we’ll see.”
Tate said the ultimate solution is to either scrap the tolls or toll all the crossings.
“That would even the playing field.”Tate sees many trucks load up at the CN
container facility near the east end of the South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) at 176th Street in Surrey.
But instead of making the quick connection to Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge, they head down SFPR toward the Pattullo to avoid the $9 toll. He
doesn’t understand why because the detour costs time and fuel.
“I don’t understand the reasoning of taking the perimeter road,” said Tate. “My boss told me if it’s convenient take the tolled bridge. [The Port Mann is] the appropriate bridge for where you’re going to.”
When the TransLink decision was announced Queen’s Park Residents Association president David Brett contacted TransLink board chair Marcella Szel. He understood some of her explanation, but not all.
“They’ve deferred any decision on truck routes because it will have to be revisited anyway when the Pattullo Bridge decisions are made. I can see the logic in that,” said Brett.
“On the other hand, I think it is totally reasonable to have a truck ban in the meantime to give residents relief.
“I think they could have put a pause on our truck traffic even if just temporarily to see what would happen. They could do a million simulations but there’s nothing like trying it out and seeing what would happen. The assumption is the trucks would have nowhere to go, but you don’t know 100 per cent until you try it.”
McEvoy said waiting for the fate of the Pattullo Bridge could take a while. Meantime, New Westminster residents will continue to suffer.
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERThe City of New Westminster had hoped to removed East Eighth Avenue from the region’s list of truck routes.

“Any construction on the Pattullo Bridge might happen sometime in the next decade. The idea we don’t look at what’s happening right now on our roads is just silly. They (TransLink) control what happens on New Westminster roads,” said McEvoy. “That rationale is not a very solid rationale.”
In a letter to New West council, Szel called the three routes “critical components of the existing truck route network and removing them would have negative impacts to the movement of goods.
“The removal of East Eighth Avenue would eliminate the only direct route for trucks traveling from Highway 1 and Coquitlam to the Pattullo Bridge during the afternoon peak period when the ramp from Columbia Street southbound to the bridge is closed. The removal of Royal Avenue would force truck traffic to divert to a longer route along 10th Avenue or onto Front Street which carries the highest percentage of truck traffic in the entire region and currently operates at, or beyond, capacity. The removal of East Columbia Street would divert trucks to or from North Road to Braid Street, a steep and congested alternative.”

David Sarraf owns several buildings Downtown.
He’s just lost one of his biggest tenants with Andy Bradshaw’s decision to move his British Store from Columbia Street to Surrey. And Bradshaw’s not the only one to bolt. While disappointed, Sarraf still sees the positive side to the loss. It will give him a chance to fix up the building and uncover the beauty of four windows on the top floor that somebody covered up decades ago.
“It’s going to cost me money, but I’m going to do it because I know it’s there,” says Sarraf.
But he won’t deny losing the Brit store and the butcher above hurts. “That’s a big hole in my pocket.”
The loss is also representative of what’s happening to Downtown businesses with constant construction closures due to projects like the Anvil Centre and the Trapp + Holbrook tower. In his reasons for leaving town, Bradshaw said he lost many customers after last October’s fire at McKenzie Street and Columbia wiped out three office buildings across the street.
“It’s not easy with what’s happening there,” says Sarraf, who has lost a few other tenants including a photo store which had its business drop by 80 to 90 per cent. “I’ve never had so many spaces empty on Columbia Street. It’s OK, I’ll survive it. What can you do? It has to [work]. We just have to make it work somehow.”
On the positive side, he recently leased a space for a coffee shop located next to the
Wine Factory on Front Street. The proprietors already have Old Crow Coffee Co. up in the window, with a sign saying they plan to open in October—just a few months before that half of the parkade is slated to fall to the wrecking ball.
Sarraf has his fingers crossed for the owners.
“I hope they will make it. For them it’s a long-run thing. They know the construction is going to be there. [But] for the long run everything is going to be fine.”
Sarraf intends to be patient, too, despite traffic being so bad “you can’t even move around.”
“We think in the future it will be better,” says Sarraf, who recently joined a bunch of other Downtown businesses in a meeting with city staff to discuss upcoming construction disruptions. “The city is really trying very hard. You can’t blame them. You have to look at the future. In the future we’ll have a better waterfront, a better place to live. In the
meantime we have to live with it somehow.”
New Westminster economic development manager Blair Fryer says the city intends to stay in contact with business owners, especially regarding the parkade demolition slated to start in January.
“We know this will have an impact on their business and so we’re working with them as well as the [Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association] at ways to mitigate some of that impact,” says Fryer. “In the end we believe the payoff will be very good for business owners and the community.”
That’s why Matovinovic and Sarraf keep the faith. Even when Sarraf finds out in the evening about some graffiti on one of his buildings he goes to clean it up.
“People look at me and think I’m nuts. At nine o’clock at night you should be at home watching TV,” says Sarraf.
“I can’t just walk away.”

Annual event graduates from three-day affair to nine daysGrant [email protected]
A year ago, Royal City Pride Society president Ian Gould wanted to kick its fifth annual New West Pride Festival up a notch or two.
Well, he just might need a ladder because the bar has been raised a lot higher.
Instead of a three-day party like last year, the 2014 version will go nine days starting Friday. There will be events every day until Aug. 16 when they’ll wrap things up with a big party on Columbia Street.
“There’s so much going on it’s hard to keep it straight,” says Gould.
His pun was not intended. “There’s nothing straight around here,” chimes in vice-president Jeremy Perry with a laugh.
“It always was the long-term goal to take the [festival and] grow it to a position where we felt that would be possible to
do,” says Gould of having the festival run over two weekends. “I feel very confident in what we’re doing this year. Judging by the feedback from the community it will be very successful.”
Gould and Perry say the idea to stretch it out over two weekends came about because their Friday night kickoff Stonewall Dance and the main festival event on Saturday afternoon were too close together. It was difficult logistically and energy-sapping for organizers.
So they looked at starting a week earlier. They feared not having enough events, but it was easier than they thought. Many of the events they’ve lined up already exist in the community.
“This is an opportunity to showcase what regularly occurs,” says Perry.
For instance, there’s a weekly drag show at the Heritage Grill on Sundays. The Royal Family Bowling League at Lucky Strike Lanes is the longest-running LGBQT bowling
league in the province and they’ll hold a social night on Tuesday.
They’ve even hooked up with Sunday’s Uptown Live! and this weekend’s New West Cultural Crawl.
But there will also be some unique events such as Steel & Oak Brewing Co. tapping “a bold and fruity cask” to commemorate the festival next Wednesday.
Some heavy-duty topics are also in the lineup. There will be a Lesbian Oral Testimony talk at the New Westminster Public Library on Monday, Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. The first of a five-week discussion series on spirituality and gay men’s journeys at Holy Trinity Cathedral kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 14.
They wanted to bring the
festival’s marquee festival event down to Columbia Street from Tipperary Park for a couple of reasons. First, they’d seen the success and dynamic energy generated by summer street events like the Royal City Show & Shine and the StrEAT food truck festival. Second, it will be held right beside the Columbia SkyTrain station,
between Fourth and Sixth streets, saving visitors from trekking up the hill.
“Vancouverites are notorious for not wanting to leave the three-block bubbles they have for themselves. Maybe the proximity of the SkyTrain station will get them to venture outside their front door,” says Perry.
The street party will have music stages, beer gardens, food trucks and family fun areas scattered on Columbia. It runs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., with street closures taking effect at 1 p.m.
The kick-off party is the Stonewall Dance at The Metro, 759 Carnarvon at Eighth Avenue, on Friday, Aug. 8 at 9 p.m. It honours the New York gay community that rioted after police raided The Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village in 1969, sparking the gay liberation movement.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it.
Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified.
Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties.
One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next.
(Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the
effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.)
Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it.
Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious.
Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services.
The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days.
After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained, but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort.
It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come.
New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry.
One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs.
The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption.
But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only.
The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Trench war salvo
The provincial government’s offer to pay families of school-aged children $40 a day if the current contract impasse with teachers carries into the fall is just another example of the deep-seated enmity between the two sides that stands between a settlement.
On the surface it seems like a good deal; roll the money the government isn’t paying teachers if they’re on strike straight over to parents to ease their financial burden of making alternate arrangements for minding their kids.
But it’s also another shot across the bow of the teachers, a cynical jab that equates their duties with little more than institutional daycare.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s announcement of the program last Thursday was short on details.
He said families of the province’s 300,000 children up to age 12 who attend public schools would have to register for the compensation.
He didn’t say where those 300,000 children could go if they still can’t attend school come September.
As anyone who has ever tried to find daycare knows, 300,000 spots aren’t going to be created in five weeks.
Nor will $40 go very far to compensate a parent who has to stay home from work to mind their child.
And while de Jong boasted the program would have no net cost to the government, what about the cost of implementing it?
A bureaucracy created in five weeks to design the registration system, vet applicants and dole out the money won’t come cheaply.
Educating our children is worth more than $40 a day.
Those children deserve better than to be treated as ammunition in this senseless trench war between adults who should know better.

Message from the MayorThe City of New Westminster is proud to support
Uptown Live 2014 presented by the Uptown Business Association.
This unique event attracts visitors from throughout the region by showcasing the best in B.C.’s thriving indie music scene.
This year’s Uptown Live lineup is impressive and sure to draw much attention to our community. I am
particularly proud of the City of New Westminster Family Fun Zone where city staff will be on hand to showcase our many departments and services. Be sure to stop by and say hello and check out the interactive family-friendly activities.
Through demonstrating a commitment to community engagement, Uptown Live has formed many partnerships with
community groups, local charities and corporate sponsors. As a result, the number of exhibitors continues to grow, a clear indication that the event is resonating with the community.
On behalf of City Council, I’d like to thank the many sponsors and community partners who generously support Uptown Live and a special thanks to the Uptown Business Association for all their efforts in organizing another great festival!
Sincerely,
Mayor Wayne WrightCity of New Westminster
Uptown Live 2014 returns to the streets of Uptown New Westminster with a new summer date, beer gardens and a “killer’ lineup of live music. The music festival is ready to establish itself as one of the premier street festivals in the Lower Mainland.
The third installment of Uptown Live takes place on Sunday, Aug. 10 in the heart of New Westminster’s thriving Uptown business district. The event brings together the best of B.C.’s indie music scene while offering up a wide array of amazing food selections, art exhibits and a host of interactive activities for the entire family.
“We believe Uptown Live is ready for its own standalone date and we are excited to move to the summer when we are more likely to enjoy great weather,” said Bart Slotman, chair, Uptown Business Association of New Westminster. “It’s clear Uptown Live is hitting all the right notes in attracting a vibrant, young crowd and generating significant commercial activity.”
Uptown Live is made possible
through funding support from the City of New Westminster and the newly formed Uptown Business Association of New Westminster. In its first two years, Uptown Live was held in May immediately following the conclusion of the Hyack International Parade.
However, according to Slotman, the transition from the parade to the street festival was challenging.
“It was very difficult for our event
team to get all our event sponsors and exhibitors in place in a timely fashion once the parade concluded. This way, we are more likely to enjoy great weather and also get everyone in position more easily before the event begins.”
In two short years, Uptown Live has captured the imagination of local residents and attracted visitors from throughout the Lower Mainland.

“As an organizing committee, we are committed to providing the community with a premier event,” said Slotman. “The quality of entertainment on our multiple stages and the array of activities for children speak volumes for our commitment to producing a first class event.”
Merchants in the Uptown have really embraced the event and are seeing the economic
spinoffs generated by an event like Uptown Live, said Slotman.
Royal City Centre and Westminster Centre are co-presenting sponsors of Uptown Live and have supported the event since its inception in 2012.
“Royal City Centre is incredibly excited to participate again this year,” said Laura Veevers, property manager, Strathallen Properties. “We
are proud to support the New Westminster community. On behalf of the ownership of the centre and the retail operators, we are delighted that Uptown Live has evolved into an event everyone is embracing.”

Ash Grunwald
Australian musical prodigy Ash Grunwald first started playing his own brand of swampy, stomp-box-driven Delta blues covers and originals around the same time RL Burnside was mixing it up with the Fat Possum crew in the United States – inspired by his own hip-hop upbringing and his love of blues standards.
For close to 10 years, the five-time ARIA-nominated rocker has been quietly sneaking out of his home in Ocean Shores, Australia for a couple of weeks each Canadian winter for a “working vacation” of gigging and snowboarding in B.C.
His breakthrough single Walking from the album Hot Mama Vibes was featured in the Robert DeNiro film Limitless. Ash has opened for the likes of James Brown, Bo Diddly, and the Black Keys. He has toured with Jack Johnson and has played the Montreaux Jazz Festival – a true indication he resonates with a worldwide audience.www.ashgrunwald.com
Ben RogersBen Rogers is a folk artist and
classic storyteller with a voice like smoke-damaged velvet soaked in Tennessee whiskey. Trusty old acoustic guitar in hand and boots stomping out a steady rhythm, Ben can hypnotize audiences with his timeless tales of murder, betrayal, war, justice, love and the human condition, just like a modern day folk troubadour should and does.
Rogers was raised, and is based in Vancouver and though it’s a far cry from the backcountry roads of the southern U.S., he embodies the values and musicality of traditional folk, Americana and country, ala Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger with a little Roger Miller and Tom Waits. Ben is an individual as a performer, and possesses a careful balance of mystique, mischief and gentle kindness that emanates through all aspects of him. www.benrogers.bandcamp.com

The Bright Light Social Hour
The Bright Light Social Hour is a southern rock band from Austin, Texas. Born out of a university art-rock collective, the band first gained attention in Austin from their incendiary live performances and innovative vision of rock and roll. Melding southern rock, hard dance, psychedelic blues, and deep soul, their debut full-length album led to heightening critical acclaim, national touring, and a rare sweep of six awards at the SXSW 2011 Austin Music Awards, including Band of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.
Following their album release, The Bright Light Social Hour has embarked on a heavy touring rotation, playing over 300 shows throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. They have performed in front of thousands of new fans, most recently at Lollapalooza 2013, Austin City Limits 2013 and opening for Aerosmith at the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The Bright Light Social Hour is currently recording their second full-length album to be released later this year.

Halfway to Hollywood
Vancouver-based band Halfway to Hollywood is paying their dues the old fashioned way: on the road, in front of music fans of all ages.
This ambitious young three-piece group has already completed seven Canadian tours in just two years. Their presence is sizable on all social media.
The trio’s 2013 EP was recorded with producer
and “Default” drummer, Danny Craig. The first single, Unbelievable, has had success on radio, winning the “Spin-Off” competition on Vancouver’s SONIC 104.9 FM, being added to heavy rotation in Ontario, as well as receiving feature spins
on many other radio stations nationwide.
HTH’s relentless self-promotion led the band to hitting the road yet again for a full month in the winter of 2014, stopping at various TV stations on
their way. Playing at Quebec’s “MusiquePlus,” was a highlight, giving all of French Canada a taste of HTH’s new Pop/Rock blend.

BESTiEBESTiE was formed in 2012 in East Van
when friends Andrew Janczewski, Tristan Orchard, Daniel Ruiz and Rob Cameron started jamming with the goal of creating a fun, accessible indie band. Soon after exploring their array of world and pop music influences, they began crafting their unique sound.
In January 2013, BESTiE released their debut single, Pineapple, with a video shot and directed by lead singer Orchard, a Gemini-nominated filmmaker whose documentaries have aired on Bravo! Television and short films played in festivals around the world.
In June 2013, BESTiE were announced as one of the top 20 finalists in the renowned B.C. talent search, The Peak Performance Contest, competing for over $200,000 in prize money to further their careers. Included was a week-long boot camp with record producers, agents, managers and songwriters in attendance. BESTiE are now in the studio recording their debut EP with Howard Redekopp, a Juno award winning producer best known for his work with Tegan and Sara, Said The Whale, The New Pornographers, Mother Mother, The Zolas and more.

Headwater
Hearing Vancouver’s Headwater is like listening to the West Coast of Canada in song. Freewheeling, fierce, sentimental and sexy, the band has earned its reputation as one of the finest acoustic roots groups around.
Formed in 2003 by childhood friends Jonas Shandel (vocals/guitar/banjo) and Matt Bryant (guitar/mandolin/vocals), the band’s sound reflects the upbeat chemistry of a songwriting partnership that is 15 years in the making. Growing up on the edges of the forested Lynn Headwaters Regional Park (hence the band name), Shandel and Bryant draw inspiration from the rugged Pacific wilderness.
Tied together by rich vocal harmonies and hook-filled choruses, Headwater reflects a diverse range of influences from heartland rock to classic new wave to unabashedly radio-friendly pop. www.headwater.ca
Jordan Klassen
Is there such a thing as unsentimental sincerity? If so, this could be it. A resonate warmth carries Jordan Klassen’s crafted, literate lyrics through vivid images and stories. Repentance, Klassen’s latest release, juxtaposes a multi-textured simplicity with a trembling confidence and a fresh familiarity. Playful and wise,
vast and intimate, the album travels from the jubilant in “Go to Me” and “Piano Brother” to the quiet intensity of “The Horses are Stuck” and “Strengthen Me with
Raisins.” These are songs that fuse melody and poetry, stinging the imagination and summoning forgotten emotion.
Klassen was named a Canadian act to watch in 2014 by CBC Music. With a showcase at SXSW Music and other summer festivals, 2014 promises to be a big year for this emerging Canadian star.jordanklassen.bandcamp.com

Pacifika Local World Music fusionists Pacifika burst onto the global music scene in 2008 with
their critically acclaimed debut album Asunción that was widely praised by, among others, The Wall Street Journal, Village Voice and National Public Radio in the US. The burst of publicity led to high profile shows alongside Feist and Sharon Jones at The Hollywood Bowl.
2010’s Supermagique was the iTunes editor’s pick for “World Music Album of the Year” and a Juno nominee for “Best World Music Album,” which catapulted the band from Latin Alternative darlings to a broader audience worldwide. Their new album, Amor Planeta, builds on their genre-bending sound and promises to win new fans around the world.

Five Alarm Funk
Five Alarm Funk is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2014. On stage, the group is an unstoppable orgy of energy.
The 10-piece juggernaut performs intricate and airtight arrangements with delirious dance moves and full-on head banging.
Choreographed arm movements coincide with melodic climaxes while the four percussionists create a true spectacle, not to be missed.
This summer, Five Alarm Funk is touring Canada coast to coast and playing a number of shows in the United States.
Highlights include stops at the Ottawa Jazz Festival, Saskatoon Jazz Festival, Sunfest in London, Ont., and Uptown Live in New West.
Five Alarm Funk released Abandon Earth, the band’s fifth studio album, on June 7 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.

Santa Lucia
Like a multi-ethnic gathering of friends, the seven-member band has created a sound that evokes the early days of Latin funk and the sounds of Santana and War.
The addictive combination of Nuyorican Boogaloo, West Coast Funk and the ever-present Cuban grooves engulf the stage with monstrous horns and bass, funky breaks, polyrhythmic beats and furious lyrics in English and Spanish.
Santa Lucia has enjoyed much success, including a Western Canada Music Awards nomination in 2005 and a nomination for Best Children’s Recording for the song The Hero Inside penned for the TV cartoon series Cackleberries.
Recently, Santa Lucia has refined its stage skills opening for many U.S. and international touring acts. Their sound is a spicy blend of rock, salsa, funk and some high-speed Colombian cumbia.

Rich Hope & the Blue Rich Rangers
“Close up the honky tonks,” they said. “No!” came the answer. And with that, Rich Hope went back to the country, live and delirious, a blue denim devil at the end of an arc stretching all the way from George Jones to the Sadies. Thus began the band unofficially known as His Blue Rich Rangers.
Scott Smith eagerly jumped on board—the hottest pedal steel man in the province, maybe the country, flanked by crisp, lanky Ben Laborie on rhythm guitar, Erik Nielsen injecting Rick Danko distillate on bass, and Hope’s faithful sticksman of 15 years Adrian Mack pulling up the rear.
The sound was funky, cosmic, and almost always on the right side of wild. Sets were long and boozy. Before long, the Rangers couldn’t stuff anymore bodies inside the tiny Main Street venue they called home, so they took to selling out bigger rooms, and then bigger ones. Studio sessions followed and you can be sure there will be more to come.

The Matinee
Formed in Vancouver in 2007, the quartet includes longtime friends Matt Layzell on lead vocals, guitarist Matt Rose, drummer Peter Lemon, and guitarist/vocalist Geoff Petrie. The group began their career touring their self-released full-length album on their own Blue Collar Records imprint, followed two years later by a self-titled EP.
In 2011, the group’s third place finish in the Peak Performance Project enabled them to produce and record their first feature album, We Swore We’d See the Sunrise. The band worked with producers Steve Berlin (R.E.M., The Tragically Hip, Los Lobos), as well as Steve Bays, frontman for indie outfit Hot Hot Heat, releasing the album on Light Organ Records in early 2013 to enthusiastic reviews.
The band is currently working on their follow-up album, with new music to be released in late 2014.www.thematineemusic.com
Rykka
Vancouver’s Rykka (formerly known as singer songwriter Christina Maria) has re-emerged from her acoustic past transforming herself into a fierce, electro-alternative, pop-rock powerhouse. With the release of Kodiak, her 2013 12-song album produced by Ryan Guldemond (from Mother Mother), Rykka has retired her acoustic guitar and in its place are danceable beats and a feisty attitude that’s hard to ignore.
From the phenomenally hooky lead “Blackie,” to the groove of “Grasslands,” Kodiak is a carefully considered concept album, each song written from the unique perspective of a different animal. It’s an exciting re-birth that has attracted the attention of fans, critics and the music industry alike. The excitement surrounding her new album has allowed her to tour endlessly in Europe and Canada including the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Redeye Empire
Born and bred on Canada’s West Coast, Redeye Empire’s music exudes all that is the West Coast lifestyle. Their unique blend of reggae, rock, ska and hip-hop has been blowing away fans across North America since their first show almost five years ago.
With three albums under their belt, Redeye Empire has spent plenty of time on the road and has toured with bands such as G Love & Special Sauce, Michael Franti and Xavier Rudd and at notable venues such as the Vic Theater in Chicago, Stubb’s BBQ in Austin, House of Blues Hollywood, and The Fillmore Ballroom in San Francisco. Redeye Empire’s laid-back attitude, genuine charisma and energetic live show have become the band’s calling card and continue to win over audiences across Canada and U.S.

In 2014, Uptown Live will officially become a Zero Waste Event.
The Uptown Business Association of New Westminster has partnered with Vancity, Recycling Alternative and Green Chair Recycling to make Uptown Live a Zero Waste Event. Waste from the event will be diverted from local landfills and recycled or composted.
The goal is to successfully divert as much as 94 percent of the total waste created during the presentation of Uptown Live.
“This initiative helps us to create greater community impact through our event sponsorships,” says Linda Morris, senior vice-president, Vancity. “Events are a great way to build a strong sense of community and we want to leave behind great memories—not great piles of trash.”
“I applaud Vancity for inspiring us to make this happen,” announced Bart Slotman, chair, Uptown Business Association.
“They have shown us how much they care about the environment and their community. To become a Zero
Waste event is an amazing and proud accomplishment and it would not have happened without the encouragement of Vancity.”
“Everyone can do their part to keep waste from the event away from local landfills by using the Zero Waste Events branded recycling and composting stations located around the event site,” added Slotman.
Yellow bins will be for paper, blue bins for mixed containers and green bins for compostables.
Green Chair staff will measure the kilograms of waste that are diverted. Ultimately, it is reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Vancity has partnered with Green Chair Recycling and Recycling Alternative as part of its overall corporate mandate to work toward building a healthy, sustainable future and enhance the environmental sustainability of member’s lives and their communities. Vancity has invested in businesses and organizations leading the way in green innovation, providing advice and support to many partners.

To be successful, any major festival requires the support of corporate sponsors. Uptown Live 2014 is no exception.
“We are very fortunate to have developed strong relationships with a great group of partners from many different corporate sectors,” said Douglas Smith, festival director of Uptown Live.
The list of sponsors for this year’s edition of Uptown Live reads like a ‘who’s who’ of the local business community.
“It is amazing how many business leaders are eager to participate and give back to
the community,” according to Smith. “Their passion for the community is infectious.”
This year, two major sponsors, Westminster Savings and Save-On-Foods, have stepped up to sponsor Performance Stages. Westminster Savings will sponsor a main stage located on Sixth Street at Princess, as well as hosting a Family Fun Zone on Sixth Avenue.
“We’re delighted to be involved in this year’s Uptown Live music fest,” said Maury Kask, Westminster Savings senior vice-president, consumer operations and
customer experience officer. “Giving back to the communities we serve is a hallmark of our credit union. Uptown Live has quickly become a highly anticipated outdoor music event in the Lower Mainland and we are proud to partner with the Uptown Business Association in the growth and success of the event.”
The Save-On-Foods Performance Stage will be located on Sixth Avenue at Seventh Street.
Smith credits Bart Slotman of the Uptown Business Association of New Westminster as being
the driving force behind the continued success of Uptown Live.
“Bart has provided inspirational support in addition to providing a significant financial investment as a presenting sponsor on behalf of Westminster Centre,” said Mr. Smith. “We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Bart and Laura Veevers, property manager of Royal City Centre. As presenting sponsors, Uptown Live would not have been established without their support and encouragement.”
The Uptown Business Association organizing committee
wishes to thank its other major sponsors—Key West Ford, Vancity, Mill Street Brewery and TD Canada Trust as well as supporters and exhibitors, including Union Jack Public House, Westland Insurance, TransLink, McDonald’s, RBC Royal Bank, London Drugs, G & F Financial, BMO Bank of Montreal, Rexall, A&W Restaurant, Cartwright Jewelers, Co-operators Insurance and Encorp Pacific.
The 2014 media partners include the New Westminster NewsLeader, Georgia Straight, SONICFM, JACKFM, NEWS1130, Cieslok Media and Minuteman Press.
Mill Street Brewery the official beer of Uptown Live
This year, for the first time, you will be able to lift a ‘cool one’ as part of the customer experience at Uptown Live.
The Uptown Business Association of New Westminster, organizers of Uptown Live, has announced a partnership with Mill Street Brewery of Toronto that will see Mill Street become the Official Beer of Uptown Live.
Mill Street Brewery is building a reputation as a sponsor of local arts and culture.
The brewery has sponsored several other events in B.C. this summer including the TD Vancouver Jazz Festival.
Their motto is to brew using the finest ingredients in small batches, yielding lagers and ales of exceptional quality and taste.
Their dedication to the craft and passion for pushing the envelope has earned the company over 100 awards since officially opening in 2002.
Mill Street Brewery has earned Canada’s Brewery of the Year honours three times, a fitting testament to their commitment to excellence.

Delayed access to clot-busting drugs ‘poor’ care: ReviewJeff NagelBlack Press
Hospitals in Surrey, Abbotsford and New Westminster that are Fraser Health’s designated centres to treat stroke victims have so far failed to provide optimum care for them and redirect too many of those patients to Vancouver instead.
That’s one of the findings of a health ministry-ordered review of the health authority released earlier this month.
Many ischemic strokes can be effectively treated with clot-busting thrombolytic drugs, but time is of the essence – patients need to get to to stroke specialists within three to four hours for the treatment to be useful.
Too often, the review report said, those patients are diverted to Vancouver General Hospital instead of designated Fraser hospitals, adding extra delay when they should be treated in the region as quickly as possible.
The report said Royal Columbian Hospital has the expertise to treat those stroke victims but “capacity issues in the RCH emergency department make this site reluctant to accept more patient volume.”
Surrey Memorial Hospital’s ER and neurology departments haven’t embraced the use of thrombolytic drugs for stroke
cases, it said, and Abbotsford Regional has made “some efforts” to meet its role as a designated site, but with “modest” results.
“This is poor patient care as it results in time delays to a treatment that is time-sensitive,” the review said of transfers to Vancouver.
Redirecting Fraser stroke patients to VGH worsens congestion there and demand on ambulance transfers, the report said, and means those patients must be transported back to Fraser later.
Fraser Health last year sent 135 stroke victims to VGH, some of them from as far away as Langley and Abbotsford.
Dr. Dave Williams, Fraser Health’s program medical director for medicine, said stroke services in the region are rapidly improving.
“We expect that number will be significantly reduced for this fiscal year because we have been able to build capacity at some of our sites,” he said.
Williams said he met ER doctors at Royal Columbian and resolved their concerns that the already congested hospital may be overwhelmed. As a result, he said, RCH now is taking all stroke cases out of Eagle Ridge Hospital that were often being referred to Vancouver before.
A new stroke unit has opened at Surrey Memorial’s new critical care tower, he added.
Although it is still short of neurologists, more are being actively recruited.
“Abbotsford has actually made a lot of progress,” he said, adding four neurologists are in place there and the hospital is looking for a fifth to ensure round-the-clock coverage.
Recruitment is a challenge – the report notes neurologists specializing in stroke are concentrated in the Vancouver area.
Williams stressed anyone having stroke symptoms – such as facial droop, drift of the arm or speech problems – should call 911 immediately, even if the symptoms quickly stop.
The review also suggested too many Fraser region patients are treated for cardiac care at Vancouver Coastal hospitals, with less-than-ideal results.
About 25 per cent of angioplasties and 40 per cent of heart surgeries required by Fraser patients are performed at either VGH or St. Paul’s.
“There are significant wait time issues with an increasing number of patients exceeding the recommended wait time,” the review said.
Stroke patient transfers to Vancouver criticized
Royal Columbian Hospital may have expertise to handle stroke victims, but too often, patients are diverted to Vancouver due to capacity issues.

For over a decade, New Westminster art gallery owner Trudy Van Dop has produced and organized one of the city’s premier arts and cultural events.
The New West Cultural Crawl began in 2003 as the realization of Van Dop’s vision to see the talent, heritage and culture of New West get the spotlight.
This year, the two-day event celebrates its 11th year with more artists and venues than ever before.
The crawl is a self-guided tour of 22 studios, galleries and venues featuring over 50 exhibiting artists.
“New West is home to an incredible arts community,” says Van Dop. “We have artisan craftspeople, world-renowned painters and sculptors, photographers and ceramicists, yet many of them have little exposure in the community where they live and work. I wanted to change that.”
Van Dop is passionate about developing a sense of community amongst artists and cultural producers in New West and other communities across the province. “The crawl and other events like it give the public a chance to see studios with artists at work, to be a part of their creative world for a day. It also gives the artists a chance to connect with each other, the public and with other businesses in the city, giving artists more opportunity to develop a market for their work. I’d like to see these events take place all over B.C.”
Van Dop specializes in helping artists and cultural organizations to develop their branding and expand public awareness. The cultural crawl prints and distributes over 8,000 brochures annually, designed by local New West designer and artist Jim Walsh. Each year the crawl brings thousands of visitors to studios and venues in the city.
This year’s crawl is an exciting mix of visual arts, performance, artisan crafts and culinary delights. Organized by neighbourhood, the brochure is the cultural crawler’s guide
through the city. Spend the morning on
Saturday walking through Victory Heights visiting the neighbourhood studios and the Van Dop Gallery—now exhibiting a new collection from the New West 7.
Down the street in historic Sapperton, visit 100 Braid Street Studio with over a dozen exhibiting artists, and Workingsilver; a storefront and studio featuring artisan silversmiths.
Head Downtown and plan to spend time unpacking the marketplace of arts and culture packed into the Downtown area and the Quay. Works from contemporary emerging and established artists are featured at trendy boutiques, restaurants, and galleries.
On Sunday, head to Uptown New West for Uptown Live—a live musical event featuring indie performers from all over B.C. and beyond. Also, the neighbourhood itself is brimming with art and historical culture.
Down the street at Douglas College, learn to draw from
life at the Amelia Douglas Gallery where the Heritage Life Drawing Society provide supplies and a live model. And on Royal Avenue visit Irving House—the oldest family home in the Lower Mainland.
In Queensborough and the West End, Artists in the Borough host the annual Art in Bloom English Tea Party. You can also visit artists Gabor Gasztonyi and Judith Copland at the Gabor Gasztonyi Studio & Gallery on 12th Street, or stop by the newest venue in the West End—Throwing Neon Studios—where you can watch live wheel-throwing demonstrations by artist Nolan Drew.
The 2014 New West Cultural Crawl takes place on Saturday, Aug. 9 and Sunday, Aug. 10. Studios and venues are open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pick up your brochure at participating venues all over the city and plan your crawl to see the best of New West’s arts and culture.
For more information visit www.NewWestCulturalCrawl.com.
New West Cultural Crawl returns this weekend
NEWSLEADERThere’s a new stop on the 11th annual New Westminster Cultural at the just-opened 100 Braid Street Studios. Cultural crawlers can not only see the works of many artists who work there, but they can also have some fun in the splatter room.
