Former student leader killed in crashMario [email protected]
A former leader in the Aboriginal student community at Douglas College was one of five people killed in a traffic accident north of Regina last week.
First nations’ dancer Lacy Morin-Desjarlais was in a car with three other members of the Aboriginal arts communities from Regina and Calgary when it collided with two other vehicles on Highway 6 on Tuesday.
All of them were killed along with the driver of a truck involved in the crash.
Morin-Desjarlais and her companions were on their way to speak to students at Payepot School, in the Piapot First Nation about 45 minutes northeast of Regina. Media reports said the weather may have played a factor in the collision, as there was blowing snow on the highway at the time of the crash.
Morin-Desjarlais, 29, graduated from Douglas with a Bachelor of Arts in child and youth care. She was also a student assistant in Aboriginal Student Services at the school and in 2011 she started a Pow Wow Dancing club to increase cultural awareness.
No side doing ‘very good job’ of deflecting issue in transit/transportation campaignGrant [email protected]
New Westminster teenager Sadie DeCoste says her generation and future ones will pay the cost if proper investments in transit and transportation aren’t made.
So even though she can’t vote in the upcoming regional transit and transportation plebiscite, she was
at Monday’s rally at city hall, along with a host of others, urging people old enough to vote to vote “Yes.”
“We will be inheriting this infrastructure and environment and we won’t be able to vote on it,” said DeCoste on why she’s making her plea.
“We want to have the infrastructure as we keep going so we make sure we can address the
issues of our ability to get around and the greenhouse gas emissions
issue when we had the opportunity.”
The local Yes coalition includes city council, the board of education, several community organizations, and ex-Mayor Wayne
Wright.The No side, led by Canadian
Taxpayers Federation executive director Jordan Bateman, has been
gaining traction. The CTF opposes the TransLink mayor’s council’s plebiscite that would add a .5 per cent provincial sales tax to help pay for a 10-year transportation and transit plan.
The proposal includes replacing the Pattullo Bridge, extending the Millennium SkyTrain line to UBC, adding light rapid transit in Surrey, and improving cycling and pedestrian routes throughout the region.
New West ‘Yes’ coalition launchesGRANT GRANGER/NEWSLEADER
New West Mayor Jonathan Coté speaks to the crowd on Monday at city hall as the local ‘Yes’ coalition launched its campaign.
Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick require children to be vaccinated before they can attend public school.
Andrew Holota asks: Should B.C. do the same?

‘We were lucky to have her’
Members of her group performed for the Lieutenant Governor at the grand opening of the Gathering Place.
In 2012, Morin-Desjarlais won the College Wide Community Builder Award at Douglas’s first Student Engagement awards.
“Lacy made a strong impression and her vision was clear,” said a tribute posted to Douglas College’s student life Facebook page. “We were lucky to have her at Douglas College.”
Morin-Desjarlais, who was born in Saskatchewan, was teaching Pow Wow dancing at the University of Regina as well as working with the Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company when she died.
Infocus OPINION page 6 | LETTERS page 7 | SPORTS page 12
Bateman believes TransLink is so inefficiently run it could pay for the plan with savings from current revenues. He recently tweeted, “TransLink mayors continue desperate attempt to obscure real issue of TransLink mismanagement and loss of public confidence” and “No one except TransLink mayors think all transportation investment will cease for 30 years with a no vote.”
“The No side is doing a very good job of deflection on what this referendum is about,” said New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté. “TransLink has its issues that need to be addressed. I’m worried that people aren’t going to be able to distinguish [between the issues of leadership and the future plans].”
The city has allocated $20,000 to promote the Yes campaign, and to get residents to make sure they register to receive the mail-in ballot.
“It’s a good investment because transportation is so important to New Westminster,” said Coté when asked why council approved the expenditure. “If it is successful it will be money well spent.
“It’s a lot more than individual projects [such as the Pattullo Bridge replacement]. It’s more than just about getting on SkyTrain or a bus. It’s getting where you need to go.”
Wayne Wright, the four-term incumbent Coté beat in the municipal election in November, was
at Coté’s side during the press conference. He was a member of the mayors’ council that hammered out a plan they felt was sellable.
“We spent three months and lots of talent to make this plan up,” said Wright. “I would be very upset if it didn’t go through.”
Wright said the voters can’t look back at TransLink’s past leadership, they have to look to the future.
“The future of the Lower Mainland is going to be enhanced by this,” said Wright.
New Westminster NDP MLA Judy Darcy said although she’s heard a lot from constituents about how TransLink is run, it shouldn’t affect the way they vote.
“We’re not going to solve those leadership issues at TransLink by voting No,” said Darcy.
“[The plan is] good for the health of New Westminster. This is good for our economic health,
and our mental health because we won’t be spending so much time in traffic congestion. And it’s good for the environment.”
Lisa Mu, Fraser Health medical health officer for Burnaby and New Westminster, pointed out the health benefits of the plan. She said on top of air pollution issues, obesity is 36 per cent more prevalent in car users than those who use other methods of transportation to get around.
The coalition has the backing of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Business Improvement Association. Chamber chair-elect Jean Hincks said the region’s economy and movement
of goods will be helped if there’s less congestion.
“It’s vital we invest in
transit and transportation improvements in our area,” said Hincks, who is also publisher of the NewsLeader. “It’s critical to a strong local economy.”
Tourism New West is backing the coalition because traffic snarls aren’t tourist-friendly.
“It’s important for visitors to be able to move around without the massive congestion issues we have today,” said Kathy MacKerricher, president of Tourism New West and general manager of the Inn at the Quay.
The province is mailing out ballots for the plebiscite in mid-March. Eligible voters have until May to return them.
Coté and Coun. Jaimie McEvoy are concerned many renters who use transit won’t be registered because they’re not on the voters list since they’ve moved in the last few years.

The stark ad seemed so out of character.
Steel & Oak’s slick marketing has launched the burgeoning brewery to stupendous success in its first year of operation.
Its mugs, growlers and distinctive merchandise, along with its tantalizing brews have been a big hit with craft beer buffs in New West and beyond.
So it was surprising, even to co-owner Jorden Foss, to realize the company’s first newspaper ad turned out to be a simple black-and-white required notification of an application it is making to city hall and the B.C. Liquor Branch.
Foss and partner James Garbutt want
to take advantage of one of the liquor rule changes the provincial government made almost a year ago.
Currently Steel & Oak is only allowed to serve one 12-ounce drink, or a flight of samples totaling 12 ounces, to a customer.
The new flexible designation, if approved, would allow them to serve bigger and multiple glasses of its product at its lounge
in the shadow of the Third Avenue overpass at select times.
“It would operate more like a pub [during those times] where you could get a proper pint and more than just one beer,” said Foss.
The beauty of the rules are in their flexibility, said Foss. When those select hours occur would be up to Steel & Oak. During those time periods, Steel & Oak would be required to have food available,
and children wouldn’t be allowed on the premises. Foss said while they have no plans to open a kitchen, they’ve already had success bringing in food trucks during peak periods on weekend evenings. Finding a sandwich supplier is another option.
Foss said their customers are hungrier for additional food options than they are thirsty for bigger beers.
The designation’s
rules also require a selection of non-alcoholic beverages. Currently, they only provide lemonade as a non-alcoholic option.
Despite the booming business and the hoped-for change in rules, Steel & Oak does not plan to expand the tasting lounge’s 20-seat capacity, said Foss.
Deadline to make comments on the proposal to city hall’s licensing department is March 13.twitter.com/lonegrangerbnw

Vaccinate your child against serious, potentially deadly, preventable diseases – or not? ... Really?
When we started our baby’s immunization program, the thought foremost in my mind was how thankful we can be that modern medicine has all but eradicated nasty infectious diseases like polio, diphtheria, chickenpox and measles.
That we wouldn’t protect our child against these illnesses was an utter non-starter. We also had her vaccinated for meningitis, which was not covered under publicly funded medical coverage, but we paid the considerable fee to do so, and were glad to have the opportunity.
Frankly, at the time I didn’t really think about the larger responsibility—that being the protection of other children who would be in contact with our child and could contract an illness from her for which she was not immunized.
Yet that is a key social question, one which rises again with measles outbreaks in Disneyland and Quebec, linked to unvaccinated adults and children.
Meanwhile, health authorities state that more than 30 per cent
of babies in the Fraser Health region are not getting vaccinated on schedule, many as the result of inadvertent parental non-compliance, such as forgetfulness or confusion over timing requirements. Other parents, however, withhold their kids from immunization due to ideological opposition or apprehension of side effects.
I don’t accept the fear-mongering about some outdated medical study that ostensibly found a link between measles vaccination and autism. It’s been reviewed and debunked by the modern medical world.
Which raises another point: If we are to fear vaccinations, we should also be spooked—and some people are—by every other medication and medical treatment commonly prescribed by the doctors of this country, who are among the best in the world.
Of course, they’re not
infallible. They make mistakes, and occasionally a particular pharmaceutical has been proven to have previously unknown ramifications, some grievous, despite extensive testing and trials.
Given the incredible complexity of modern medicine, it would be a miracle if neither ever occurred.
Yet we’re not talking about a new cancer drug therapy or heart medication here.
Common vaccines are just that—common. Billions of kids around the world have been successfully and safely immunized against serious diseases like polio, which used to kill and cripple millions, but is expected to be wiped out around the globe with another few years of vaccination.
If there was a significant health threat posed by such programs, as opposed to their immense benefit, I firmly believe the world’s best medical minds would identify and rectify it.
And yes, I brush off conspiracy theories that major pharmaceutical companies control all the world’s scientists, researchers, doctors, centres for disease control, and international health organizations.
No, clearly, I do not fear vaccines, just like I do not fear electromagnetic radiation from smart meters, and the effects of jet contrails. Nor do I accept an ideology that would dictate an objection to vaccination.
Those who subscribe to such theories and beliefs are free to do so, and equally free to express their views—particularly if they do so in a civil, reasonable fashion.
The vaccination issue is unique, though, in that it has a “community” element.
Aside from the primary responsibility to shield our children from harm, we all have a shared responsibility to respect and protect the health of each other’s kids, especially when it comes to preventable, infectious diseases.
I accept that. Others apparently do not.
Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick require children to be vaccinated before they can attend public school.
In the context of the above, how long before others follow suit?
Andrew Holota is editor of the Abbotsford News.
Immunization a ‘community’ responsibility
Parents of babies and younger children have another job to put on their to-do list: get their child vaccinated.
But unlike the situation where dentists remind their patients every six months to get a teeth cleaning, there is no similar immunization reminder for parents except for those they set up for themselves.
And this is a problem.According to Fraser Health
records, more than 30 per cent of children under two in the region are not up to date with recommended vaccinations against diseases such as measles, diphtheria, polio and Hepatitis B.
Certainly, the health authority faces challenges from immunization foes who fear that vaccinations may be dangerous or that mandatory vaccinations violate their rights or religious principles.
But by far the biggest obstacle to greater participation rates is that people forget to get their child’s shots at 12 and 18 months. Once the parent returns to work or has another child, they can be too busy or distracted to make an appointment or they don’t understand how important it is.
The vaccinations are free but it’s up to parents to keep track of this information either by mental notes, signing up for free text reminders or downloading the ImmunizeCA app to keep track.
By the time kids get into school, the process becomes easier because boosters are offered for children in Grades 6 and 9.
Therefore, parents of younger children have to be diligent on following through on this task. For that to happen, they need to know that missing out on the 12 month vaccination, which includes the first dose of mmr [measles, mumps and rubella] vaccine to protect against measles, their children could be at risk for a vary serious disease and they could pass the illness on to some other child.

COMMENTI am writing in response to
the column from Catherine Ouellet-Martin of the Fraser River Discovery Centre in the Dec. 17, 2014 issue of the NewsLeader.
If you recall, it was about a study to estimate the extent of possible future oil spills. When I first read it, I was so disappointed that I put it aside, hoping that time and re-reading would make a difference. Sadly, that didn’t help. So I decided to write back and point out what I believe is missing from it.
The column suggested that it is possible to prepare adequately for maritime spills of fuel exports (oil and coal), so that the risk from exporting them can be mitigated. Indeed it suggested that adequate preparations have already been made, with “vessels strategically located” and “sophisticated equipment” so that “the response should be swift and effective.”
The tone and content was what I expect from proponents of fuel exports, rather than from our own Fraser River Discovery Centre. The 3/4-page ad from Kinder Morgan on the next page made for ready comparison!
What was missing?A question: must all risks—in
particular these ones—be taken? The column assumes yes, and asks only “what we will do” in the case of an “extremely unfortunate event.”
It was recently reported that the seabed of the Gulf of Mexico is still contaminated with millions of litres of “missing oil” from the Deepwater Horizon spill, an area covering 8,400 square kilometres. A huge effort was made to contain and clean up that spill, and this was the result.
Could “vessels strategically located”, “sophisticated equipment”, etc. have prevented that? Perhaps rather than “preparing” to “mitigate” and hoping for the best, they should have asked themselves, seriously, whether the deep-water drilling that caused the spill was a risk better not to take.
In other words, to use Ms. Ouellet-Martin’s own analogy: crossing the street does involve risk, but one can choose not to play tag in the intersection.
From where I stand, with one
eye on the Gulf of Mexico, the spill risks of fuel exports are just too big.
We’d be better off not to play the “risk” and “mitigate” game.

MOODY PARK DOG AREA WILL BE WELL USED
Re: Right idea, but poor execution (Letters, NewsLeader, Feb. 4)
Deb McKeennzie has made arguments about the safety of children in the area where the city plans to create a dog off-leash area in Moody Park.
As a mother and grandmother who has enjoyed Moody Park for more than 25 years, the safety of children is my first concern. Hundreds of dogs and children use the park every day, and have done so for decades.
A child will be less likely to be injured by a dog in an enclosed dog park, than by a dog running freely. Dog owners are responsible for their pets. They may not remove the leash until inside the dog area, must stay in the dog area with their pet, and must continue to watch their dog while doing so.
No child will be at greater risk with an enclosed dog area in Moody Park.
Ms. McKeennzie argues that there is limited parking in the area.
There is a small parking lot, but street parking is available on three sides of the park. The majority of those who would frequent Moody Park’s new dog area would be on foot, such as the dozens of seniors with dogs who have long since given up their vehicles.
Those driving to the dog park might opt for Queen’s Park dog park, or Taylor Park dog area, both just minutes away, and both offer much more space to throw a ball and/or let their dog run.
Ms. McKeennzie states in her letter that chestnuts are poisonous to dogs. Not true. I contacted my veterinarian who said that if my dog ate a chestnut he should be watched for vomiting or any other signs of an intestinal block, but chestnuts are not poisonous.
There has been three years of planning and public
consultation behind the decision to put in a dog area at Moody Park. The park has only so much space to offer. The 1,850 square meters offered for a dog area is generous and will meet the needs of the majority of residents who will use it.
I’ve always said that Moody Park has something for every member of our community, and with the inclusion of the planned dog area, it absolutely will.

SAD TO SEE JOEY GORe: Joey’s Video Stop fades to black
Joey is the most amazing man, we love him like he’s our family and will not lose touch and hopefully his other “extended family members” will also keep supporting him.
It’s so sad that a low-life thief can change someone’s entire future. I hope, if that person can even read, that he knows what he’s done to a wonderful person and an entire community. They say it takes a village to raise a child, well it takes one to support a friend and great businessman who did not deserve any of this.
We love you Joey! Smooches and hugs. x0x0x0

MLA Darcy responds to throne speechGovernment has ‘run out of gas’ by delivering nothing new to debateGrant [email protected]
New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy was on the ferry to Victoria for the opening of the legislature when she struck up a conversation with a national journalist.
He bristled, like many other political pundits in their predictions, about how the throne speech would be all about nothing. Darcy disagreed. She’d heard so much from her constituents there would be a lot to debate.
But after listening to Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon deliver the throne speech for Premier Christy Clark’s BC Liberal government, she agrees with the jaded journalist.
“It was underwhelming,” said Darcy in an interview with the NewsLeader.
Darcy was the first speaker for the Opposition NDP when debate opened up Wednesday. She said she stayed up late pouring her heart and soul into writing what many have told her was her most passionate speech ever.
What alarmed her the most was there were just two words on health care. As Opposition health critic she said there was lots to talk about.
As an example of what’s happening around the province, she pointed to problems at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster. She talked about a 68-year-old man who was admitted for surgery and had been on a hallway stretcher for three weeks.
“Hallway medicine is nothing new in my community and sadly it’s nothing new across the province. And what does the government say? What is their response? ‘Be patient,’ ” Darcy said in the legislature. “At Fraser Health, they say: ‘We did a top-level
review. We’re hoping to find ways to be more efficient. Be patient.’ Small comfort to that man who’s been lying in a hallway for three weeks now.”
Darcy said an elderly New Westminster woman with MS wanted home support so she would be able to live independently in her home a little bit longer.
But cutbacks to home support are making that difficult. Darcy said some workers are required to visit five clients in a short, six-hour period.
“I think she deserves [home support]. But she can’t get it. We can do better. We must do better. Our seniors deserve better,” she said.
She said a lot of the home support services stories she hears are quite compelling.
She maintains cutting home support isn’t cost effective because it forces patients into hospital emergency
departments.“It’s bordering on inhumane,”
said Darcy in the interview. “And it’s a good place to invest. It’s penny wise and pound foolish (to cut home support). Invest in areas where it will take the pressure off the system.”

Teenager arrested with replica handgunA teenage boy was arrested
by Transit Police at the Braid Street SkyTrain station bus loop Feb. 3 after being spotted with what looked like a handgun sticking out of his jacket pocket.
Transit police said they got a report of a man with a gun at the loop at 1:30 a.m.
When officers got there they could see the butt of a handgun sticking out.
He was arrested as he tried to walk past the officers.
It turned out to be a loaded replica .177 calibre air pistol
which resembles a Beretta handgun.
The 17-year-old was accompanied by his 15-year-old girlfriend. She told police the boy had bought the gun earlier and they had been taking turns shooting at bottles, cans and street signs while consuming
alcohol before taking a bus from Coquitlam to New Westminster.
Police said the boy was reported as a missing person by his foster parents.
Both teenagers were released to their foster parents after questioning.
Witnesses on the bus indicated they’d been frightened and extremely uncomfortable at the sight of the gun.
Transit police commended the bus riders for their quick reporting of the incident.
Darcy said transit and transportation are important issues in New Westminster, but all the government has done is force Metro Vancouver to hold a referendum on adding to the provincial sales tax.
She said with the Liberals not officially backing the Yes side, Clark has shown “a complete lack of leadership.”
“They’re effectively hanging the mayors and the other supporters of the yes side out to dry. It’s not leadership,” said
Darcy. She claimed her New Westminster constituents have continually told her they feel they’re getting squeezed by the
provincial government because of such things as medical premium increases and education cuts. (Darcy said she’s received more communication from her constituents about investment in education than any other topic.)
“I just found there were no ideas [in the throne speech]. It’s a government that’s out of gas,” said Darcy.
Clark told reporters the
government has important tasks ahead, such as building the $8 billion Site C hydroelectric dam and revamping the education system to satisfy the demand for skilled labour.
Although Darcy felt the throne speech lacked leadership, Clark didn’t see it that way.
“We’re sticking to the plan, and we’ve been successful with that plan,” said Clark.
“I know it doesn’t make great headlines in the newspapers, but I don’t think we want to change so we can help you get a news story.”

CHINESENEWYEARDinner big part of New Year
Chinese New Year marks the beginning of the new year according to the Chinese lunisolar calendar. This year, 2015, is the Year of the Goat.
One of the more important elements of the Chinese New Year is the reunion dinner. For the reunion dinner, which is held on the eve of the new year, families traditionally gather in the parents’ home or the home of the eldest brother, though many families now gather in a restaurant.
A reunion dinner typically includes a lavish spread featuring dishes like chicken, fish and pork.
Chinese New Year celebrations last for 15 days. During these celebrations, students and migrant workers return home, and much of the country is in transit.
The festivities culminate on Chap Goh Mei, or the 15th night, which also involves a family meal as well as music and decorations.
People born in a year of the Goat are generally believed to be gentle mild-mannered, shy, stable, sympathetic, amicable, and brimming with a strong
sense of kindheartedness and justice.
The origin of Chinese New Year is not entirely certain. One legend suggests that there was once a monster called Nian, who appeared each spring to attack Chinese villages.
Legend has it that during these attacks Nian would eat anything to come in his path, be it plants, animals and even human beings.
Fearful of Nian’s return, villagers one spring hung red paper on their doors and lit bamboo on fire when Nian arrived.
The bright colours and crackling of bamboo burning startled Nian, who turned and fled. Since then, Chinese people hang red paper and lanterns outside their homes and loud noises, particularly those from firecrackers, are common on the eve of the new year.
Families celebrate it by cleaning their homes to get rid of any misfortune and bring on good luck. There are fireworks, firecrackers, and lion and dragon dances as well.
This year the Chinese New Year will be celebrated on Thursday, Feb. 19.
Lion and dragon dances are an essential part of Chinese New Year.
IN THE HEIGHTS
Burnaby’s Heights Merchants Association’s is hosting its annual Lunar New Year celebration of the multiculturalism found in the neighbourhood on Saturday, Feb. 21.
Spot the Lion Dancers on Hastings Street (between Gamma & Boundary) and receive a fortune cookie, a lucky red envelope, and a chance to win prizes. With the year of the Horse coming to an end, the year of the Goat arrives on Feb. 19. The year of the Goat is sometimes referred to as the year of the Sheep or Ram. According to the Chinese Zodiac, people born in the year of the Goat are calm and take an intellectual approach to things. They are creative, compassionate, sensible, empathetic, tactful and prudent. Look out for the Lion Dancers on Saturday, Feb. 21 from noon to 3 p.m. as they visit Heights businesses.
Lougheed Town Centre will be celebrating the Year of the Goat Lunar Festival on Saturday, Feb. 21 in the Centre Court. At 12:30 p.m. there will be traditional Korean and Chinese performances by the Cheondoong Performing Arts Society, Sun Hang Do Martial Arts Coquitlam and the Traditional Kung Fu Training Centre. At 1:30 p.m. there will be the Choy Chang (Lucky Lion Merchant Tour). Attendees will receive a Lucky Red Envelope containing a $5 Lougheed gift card voucher.

The present and the future of the New Westminster Hyacks senior girls high school basketball program is looking bright.
The Hyacks won the Burnaby/New Westminster league by downing the Burnaby South Rebels 48-37 in the BNW final Thursday. Justice Steer scored 15 points while Lauren Denusik had 10. Denusik and teammate Hannah Devos were named to the league all-star team.
The Burnaby Mountain Lions finished third by downing the Byrne Creek Bulldogs 74-42 Thursday.
The Hyacks victory vaulted them right into the second round of the Lower Mainland AAA championship on Monday. They are the fourth seed in the tournament. New West will play Vancouver’s No. 1 team, fifth-seeded Winston Churchill on Thursday, 4:55 p.m. New West will be the host for the rest of the tournament Thursday to Saturday. Three teams advance to the provincial tournament while a fourth will play a wild card game.
Churchill’s Bulldogs beat up on Byrne Creek 87-27 in the first round Saturday. Byrne Creek, which went into the tournament seeded 12th, had defeated the Magee Lions, the 14th and last seed in a wild card game Friday.

The Hyack juvenile girls came second in the BNW after losing 40-28 to the Burnaby North Vikings in the final. They had advanced by beating Burnaby
