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.

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.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

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

We are subject to thisunrelenting noise, vibration, dust, dieseland other pollution on the grounds thatthe railroad was here first. Fine! In terms ofthe elevated dust, diesel, noise and otherpollution hazards of the Surrey FraserDocks U.S. coal expansion, I must sharethat we citizens were here first.

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?

taxpayers on large projects,Port Coquitlam broke themould this year.

Instead of putting amajor recreation centrerenovation and 1.5per cent tax increase into their budget, PortCoquitlam went to thepublic with a 0.34 per centtax cut and an option toadd the rec centre if thecommunity wants it.

Usually cities resist giv-ing taxpayers the facts onwhat they could save byforegoing flashy projects;this subtle shift to showingwhat the budget would bewithout the big project is amajor step forward.

Annual business

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)

taxes as residential andthen we mess around withthese little $50 businesslicences.

Langford expects tomake up most of lostannual revenue throughincreased business andcutting bureaucracy at cityhall.

There is nothing newunder the sun, Solomontaught us.

Hopefully that chest-nut holds true and we seemany candidates stealingfrom the playbooks ofPenticton, Prince George,Port Coquitlam andLangford this fall.

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.

A VISUAL FEAST!STUNNING!Vancouver Sun

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 Theatre production
