Samples trigger testing Higher concentration of contaminants found in groundwater BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
More testing is being done on a section of Westminster Pier Park where higher than anticipated contamination has been detected. City officials aren’t worried that groundwater testing has identified a higher concentration of contaminants than was previously known in the area around Fourth Street. The findings have created a need for additional testing and sampling to more accurately identify the area that will require treatment. “This work is currently underway, and will include drilling and sampling off-site to confirm the potential source of groundwater contaminants,” said a report to council. “The remediation approach for groundwater contamination will be determined upon completion of the current testing program.” Mayor Wayne Wright said one small area has more contamination than what was anticipated. He said the city is required to meet environmental requirements regarding contaminated sites, so it’s not of great concern. “It’s groundwater contamination,” said Coun. Betty McIntosh. “No, it’s not a concern. You work through a process. You have all the different ministries on board to (determine) what is acceptable.” ◗Park Page 5

Bees all the buzz at city fair But root vegetables rule at the 17th annual Urban Farmers Fall Fair in Queensborough BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
Queensborough’s popular annual Urban Farmers Fall Fair will be celebrating its 17th birthday this Sunday. Keeping with the tradition of highlighting an animal or vegetable each year, this year’s theme is a celebration of root vegetables.
Experience the difference of Tracey’s refined negotiation skills and top quality service.
“We are celebrating not only the root vegetables, but also the roots that have been planted in the community with the fall fair,” said Queensborough Community Centre manager Renee Chadwick. Along with paying tribute to underappreciated underground veggies, the family fun day will include a wide variety of displays and horticultural competitions. There is lots for the little folks to do as well, including crafts, pony rides, a petting zoo and the B.C. Poultry Association’s poultry wagon, which Chadwick describes as a mobile classroom where people can have all their chicken-related questions answered.

Tenant fights eviction BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com
Catherine Battersby has lived in her Carnarvon Street apartment for six years, has seen three owners come and go, but what she hasn’t seen is much maintenance work to her suite or the apartment complex. Earlier this year, she asked for the mould in her bathroom to be dealt with and the kitchen cupboards to be tightThis story first appeared on ened on the www.royalcityrecord.com walls and ceiling, but, according to Battersby, nothing was done. All Battersby says she got for her troubles was an eviction notice, stuffed into her mailbox on Friday, Sept. 3. The notice states that Battersby is being given two months notice to move out of her large 100-level apartment because the landlord wants to do some major changes and upgrades to the suite. The owner is extending the notice to Nov. 30, with the proviso that Battersby won’t have to pay rent for the month of November. “That’s very nice, isn’t it,” said Battersby. Compounding Battersby’s woes is the fact she suffers from spinal stenosis, or the deterioration of the discs in her spine, and Battersby is on a waiting list for heart surgery. “Some days are better than others,” she admits. “And getting this notice certainly didn’t help.” Also in the notice was a note that the landlord has applied for and received the necessary permits from the city to do the extensive work. “When we called the engineering department at the city, they told us there were no permits issued,” said Battersby. “So I went to the (residential tenancy office) to lodge my complaint because if t

Reading has its rewards
BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com
A record number of readers took part in the Summer Reading Club at the New Westminster Public Library. Children aged three to 11 received a booklet and earned stickers and small prizes by reading for 15 minutes or more each day during the summer. Participants who read daily for seven consecutive days received a medal at the Sept. 11 wrap-up party. “We had absolutely record numbers in the Summer Reading Club,” said children’s librarian Lynne Close. “It was called Reading Rocks. We had over 1,400 children registered, and close to 45 per cent completion rate.” That means 45 per cent of the children who registered for the program read 15 minutes or more each day for 49 straight days. The program aims to promote reading in the summer months, when children are on summer vacation from school. “Number 1, it’s fun,” Close said. “Number 2, and probably most important, it keeps kids reading in the summer so they don’t have this fallback in the fall.” Last weekend, the library held its annual wrap-up party for the summer reading club. In addition to getting medals, participants also enjoyed the celebratory cake. “It was awesome,” said chief librarian Julie Spurrell. “It was the best summer ever. It was so much fun. There were so many children who had such a great time. They were all so engaged.” Spurrell said the wrap-up party was a “mob scene” with close to 250 children and their families and caregivers attending. The event featured a medal presentation to participants. “Their parents are so supportive and excited on their behalf,” she said. “The reading club in general is such a positive

Park: Contamination levels ‘not a concern’ ◗ continued from page 1
Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering services, said the area is located just west of the proposed concession stand. “It’s in a fairly localized area at the foot of Fourth Street,” he said. “We are doing some additional testing. … What we do know is it is localized, it is not extensive. It’s fairly deep in the groundwater. It is likely from a historic use.” Lowrie said the contamination poses no threat to people who are working at the park site. “The groundwater is quite deep there,” he said. “It’s probably about three metres deep.” Lowrie said remediation costs more than what had been projected, but that won’t be known until the testing determines the extent of the contamination and the method for dealing with the contamination. A staff report to city council said the detailed design drawings for the above-deck works are 90 per cent complete and are currently being reviewed. The finished designs will form the basis for tendering of construction contracts. “We are on schedule,” Wright said. “The budget is right on.”

Agricultural land must be saved IN THE HOUSE
I
KEITH BALDREY
t didn’t get nearly the kind of sustained news coverage it deserved, but the report by B.C. auditor general John Doyle on the state of the province’s Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) should be cause for concern. Doyle raised two key issues that have the potential of seriously threatening the ALR’s future viability and value. First, he notes the budget for the Agriculture Land Commission has dramatically declined in recent years, thus impairing the commission’s ability to ensure preservation of land and monitoring compliance of regulations. Second, he notes that while the total amount of land in the reserve has remained relatively stable over the years, a significant amount of prime farmland has been taken out, while less valuable land in the north has been added. The ALR was established in 1973 by the New Democratic Party government of the day. At a time when ensuring an ongoing food supply becomes more and more important (as climate change begins to alter

agriculture practices around the world) it is critical that B.C.’s lush and precious farmland be protected. Doyle, who is quickly earning a reputation as a no-nonsense, independent watchdog of government, points out the annual budget for the commission has shrunk from almost $3 million at the beginning of this government’s first term to barely more than $2 million. That’s a cut of one-third, and it has led to fewer staff and resources, which makes ongoing preservation of farmland that much harder to accomplish. Meanwhile, the loss of prime farmland is even more worrisome. Since the ALR’s creation, Vancouver Island has lost 13 per cent of its prime farmland, while the Okanagan has lost 12 per cent and the Lower Mainland (primarily the Fraser Valley) has lost eight per cent. The development pressures that come with population growth are mostly to blame for the loss of good farmland. When the ALR was first established, for example, places such as Surrey, Delta and Langley were barely populated compared to the number of people who live there now. Whole farms have been replaced by huge subdivisions and highway projects (I remember a large sheep and vegetable farm being directly across the ◗Agriculture Page 7

Dear Editor:
Cops in schools not about safety
Dear Editor:
Royal City Centre just lost another customer. On Friday, Sept. 3, I parked my car in the upper lot of Royal City Centre. It was 9:20 a.m., and the mall hadn’t opened, so I walked up to my bank, came back to the mall and shopped; went downstairs to Safeway and shopped; left and was home by 10:30 a.m. I was seen leaving the parking lot at 9:20 a.m. and received a $61.60 ($71.40) parking violation. No warning – just a fine to be paid within 10 days or suffer a penalty. Beware, seniors meeting friends or neighbours in the mall food court. One day soon, along with your tea, you may get a fine for loitering!
Re: High school cop knows her beat, The Record, Sept. 11. Cops in schools have nothing at all to do with safety; it is all about conditioning the coming generations to accept an ongoing and ever-increasing level of police intrusion into their personal lives. By the year 2030, the entire concept of personal privacy will be gone from the public psyche. “The Youth Criminal Justice Act allows us to use our own discretion,” the officer says. Which is disgusting. Look at the stats, and I’ll bet they would reveal that “discretion” means “sometimes we let the white kids off with a warning.” As we have seen time and again, cops’ “discretion” leaves a hell of a lot to be desired.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Criticism is unproductive Dear Editor:
In recent days, I like other Canadians, have heard and/or read a variety of opinion including those of MPs, regarding Canada’s firearms registry. Additionally we heard opinion from representatives of the National Rifle Association (NRA) in the United States. I am offended, as a Canadian and former police officer, that the NRA’s longstanding arguments are being applied here in Canada by MPs that should look at Canada’s needs within its Charter, not the homegrown American agenda within America’s Constitution.. Criticism is an essential part of work and studies in life. Without being corrected, without being evaluated and without some sort of debate or discussion that helps better establish the facts at hand, what would be the point of an education
in the first place? After all, some of the most notorious cranks and pseudoscientists probably were interested in learning about the real world at first, but rather than be able to admit they might have been wrong about something and figure out what it was, decided to escape criticism in cozy echo chambers, living in their own, blissful fantasies. So you might say that criticism is one of the most important mechanisms we have for preventing the rise of new pseudosciences. Unfortunately, it’s not very effective, as we can see by the high rate of illiteracy and anti-expertise today, particularly debating the need for a gun registry. Criticism is actually becoming unproductive, as it seems to contribute little facts and is done so just for the sake of opposing. For some, that is all they have. William Perry, Victoria
THE BEST FROM OUR BLOGS When assistant editor Julie MacLellan isn’t at the office, she’s often writing fiction. In a recent post on her In the Spotlight blog, she chronicled her emotional journey in the 3-Day Novel contest – a journey she dedicated to her late colleague and friend Mia Thomas. Long before the clock turned 12:01 a.m. on Saturday morning, I’d been mentally preparing for a weekend of insanity. It would, after all, be my sixth time taking part in the International 3-Day
Novel Contest. Yes, for the uninitiated, that means exactly what sounds like: Writers from around the world pick up their pens (or, more prosaically, start their computers) at 12:01 a.m. on the Saturday of Labour Day weekend and write their little hearts out until midnight on Monday. Yes, it’s crazy. Yes, it’s unforgiving. Yes, it means locking yourself away from life as you know it … to chug on through until you find yourself
actually writing something resembling a story. Until your characters come to life, become your friends and take control of their own destiny, and you find you’re just along for the ride.

Agriculture: Land must be preserved ◗ continued from page 6
road from my grandparents’ home on Saltspring Island; a parking lot, tennis courts and a soccer field are there now). Some of the land use fights have been memorable: the Spetifore Lands in Delta, Six Mile Ranch near Kamloops, Fantasy Gardens and Terra Nova in Richmond and Colony Farms in Coquitlam all created a lot of headlines over the years. The picture is not entirely gloomy, however. Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson seems to get the idea that more has to be done to protect the ALR. Thomson, who comes from a farming family, is a former executive direc-
tor of the B.C. Agriculture Council, and he has emerged as one of the steadiest hands in the B.C. Liberal government. He has asked the new chair of the ALC, Richard Bullock, to tour the province and meet with agriculture groups and other stakeholders to get a sense of the challenges faced by the ALC. Bullock is supposed to file a report in October. Hopefully, what he discovers on his fact-finding tour will spur the B.C. government to not only restore the funding to the ALC but to take steps to stop prime farmland from being turned into blacktop. Now, there’s no question more housing and
transportation networks will have to be built in the years ahead. And it’s more than likely that some ALR land will form part of future treaties with First Nations bands. But Doyle’s report is a timely reminder that protecting our food supply should be of paramount importance. I suspect the NDP will make preserving the ALR a key part of its election platform come 2013. If that party does indeed gain power, it will be interesting to see if it takes a look back at the record of its predecessor in the 1970s to gain a sense of proper priorities.

City lends a hand in quest for Mann Cup Traffic
Salmonbellies benefit from $12,100 in donations from community and city
The City of New Westminster has given the New Westminster Salmonbellies money to help the team in its bid to win its 25th Mann Cup. The team, currently vying against the Peterborough Lakers in Ontario, has received a community grant from the city. “The city recently received donations totalling $8,600 in support of the New Westminster Salmonbellies Club,” said a
staff report to city council. “It is recommended that this amount plus an additional $3,500 from the city for a total of $12,100 be awarded as a community grant to the New Westminster Salmonbellies.” After winning the Western Lacrosse Association title, the New Westminster Senior Salmonbellies announced they were facing a potential shortfall of $8,500 to $9,500 to travel to the Mann Cup. The team appealed to fans, supporters, sponsors and alumni to assist in raising the needed funds. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

City says no to noisy trucks
The City of New Westminster is making its concerns known about the use of jake brakes on city streets. Council will send a letter to the B.C. Trucking Association explaining its concerns about the use of compression brakes and requesting that the association take action in regards to the city’s zero tolerance of engine compression braking. In addition, council will report its concerns about the use of jake brakes to the New Westminster police board and the Integrated Road Safety Unit. The city will also ask for additional enforcement to help alleviate the problem. The city’s traffic advisory committee had recommended that city council lobby for an end to jake brakes in New Westminster unless they’re really necessary. The committee supports zero tolerance for truckers using jake brakes, unless they’re being used because of public safety. – Theresa McManus
Eviction: Tenant is fighting ◗ continued from page 3
the owner doesn’t have the permits, then this eviction is illegal.” It may not be as simple as that, as some work to a suite, such as changing the carpets or minor repairs, may not require permits. Major structural work to a suite does require permits, but the extent of the work to Battersby’s apartment isn’t known, as The Record called the number – provided by Battersby – of the landlord on Sept. 10 and calls were not returned by Record deadlines on Tuesday. Battersby said she believes the owner wants to renovate her suite and then rent it out afterwards for a much larger rent. “When I moved in, I was paying $630, and that’s what I paid for the first three years,” she said. “Now I pay $696, and I have one of the largest suites in the building.” Battersby said that she is going to fight to stay in her apartment. “Why should I move?” she said. “That only gives the landlord the opportu-
nity to raise the rent without any opposition. I have rights. My doctor is here, my heart specialist is here, everything I need is within walking distance, when I can walk. … I don’t have any reason to move.” Battersby took her case to ACORN Canada – the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, Canada – which is among the nation’s largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families that works for social and economic justice and stronger communities. The organization organized a press conference on Friday, Sept. 10 in front of Battersby’s apartment to argue her plight. The organization wants changes to the Residential Tenancy Act that would include a vacancy control rule, whereby a landlord would not be allowed to ratchet up the price of the suite when a suite becomes vacant, and a rule not to grant any permits to landlords who are trying to do this. www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

‘Report card’ helps city guide development
So long checklist, hello report card. City staff has presented city council with a draft version of a revised Smart Growth Development Checklist and sought council’s direction to revise the document. It’s proposed that the document be renamed the Sustainability Report Card. Introduced in 2004, the checklist was intended to help the city meet its goals of ensuring new development was sustainable from economic, environmental and social perspectives. Coun. Jonathan Cote said the sustainability report card was a good start to get the city into considering how sustainability issues can be improved. All applicants seeking a development permit or rezoning are required to complete the Smart Growth Checklist. “The draft Sustainability Report Card provides updated content and a structure better suited to the city’s development approval process,” said a staff report, adding that it meets the city’s goal for a simple document that won’t be onerous for applicants. “By developing a scoring system, the report card will act as a stronger tool for evaluating projects and informing council decision-making around sustainability.” In 2007, city council expressed the need for a revised checklist that included a scoring system. Cote said the new report card will provide a more objective assessment of developments since council will be able to use the score card to consider rezonings. www.twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

rtists of all levels are invited to practise their skills in figurative drawing with the Heritage Life Drawing Society. The non-profit group meets weekly at the Dance With Me Studio in downtown New Westminster. A core group of artists has been meeting for close to five years, but the artists are actively looking for new members to bolster their ranks. The artists gather on Sunday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. at the studio. Tables are available, but artists should bring their own supplies. The fee is $12 per session, covering the costs of a professional model and the rent for the studio. “As in other disciplines, it is important to practise your skills,” group member Gillian Wright notes in an e-mail to The Record. “We would like to encourage all artists of all levels to consider the value in figurative drawing.” The group also gives its members a chance to take part in a variety of local events, and members have had a showing at the Arts Council of New Westminster gallery in Queen’s Park. If you’re interested in taking part, e-mail heritageartists01@ gmail.com or call Gillian at 604524-0638.

Still standing: Iliza Shlesinger, the first female and youngest person to win a season of the hit TV series Last Comic Standing, is coming to Lafflines Comedy Club in New West for shows on Friday and Saturday nights.
Hot comic coming to Lafflines BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com
Iliza Shlesinger wants to apologize to Canadians. Like many women, the comedian has an inexplicable crush on Ontario’s teenaged pop sensation Justin Bieber, and while watching his performance Sunday night at the VMA awards, she sent out the following tweet to her thousands of Twitter followers: “Canada! thanks for giving us justin bieber. You can keep the moose … and most of the other stuff … like cold.” Shlesinger, who is bringing her act to New West this weekend as part of the Vancouver Global Comedy Fest, immediately felt sender’s remorse. “I felt so bad as soon as I wrote that because I forgot about Mike Myers, Jim Carey, Just for Laughs and Second City and lots of stuff,” she told The Record over the phone from her Hollywood home. “There are so many Canadian things that I like, but there are only 140 characters.” Canadians – Vancouverites in particular – are unlikely to give her the cold shoulder over the indiscreet tweet, especially as another Canadian thing she likes is a former professional hockey player.

And, in related Amabilis news ... The choir is looking for a few good men – of the singing sort. Male choral singers of all voice types – and in particular tenors – are needed for the Amabilis Singers’ 30th anniversary season, a highlight of which will be a performance of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana at Shaughnessy Heights United Church in Vancouver on April 17. The group meets weekly in New Westminster. For details about what’s expected of singers, check out www.amabilissingers.org and click on the Join Us link.

Helping you prepare your children for tomorrow Full day kindergarten – It’s back to school time and, in today’s skill based economy, it’s more important than ever to ensure children get an early start on their education. That’s why the Province of B.C. is implementing full day kindergarten for more than half of all five-year olds in 2010 and for all eligible children starting in 2011. Providing kids with an early start will give them the skills they need to be successful in school and to be prepared for the opportunities of the twenty-first century.

British Columbia’s number 1 Bollywood station, RJ 1200, and Radio Rim Jhim are hosting a radiothon to help Royal Columbian Hospital. The radiothon is set for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 17 and 18. It will feature a live broadcast and a South Asian cultural festival with food, DJs, dancers and more at Royal Columbian Hospital at the corner of Columbia and Sherbrooke streets on Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. The fundraiser will support the hospital foundation’s $2.5-million campaign to build what’s known as a “multi-purpose interventional suite” at the hospital. The suite will provide greater cardiovascular services for more patients from across the region, including pacemaker and defibrillator implants to correct abnormal heart functioning, and neurosurgical diagnosis and treatment of stroke and aneurysms. “This suite is extremely important for RCH to be able to keep up with the extraordinary demand
for diagnostic and treatment services of cardiovascular health problems in this region,” said Cathie Heritage, executive director for Fraser Health’s cardiac and renal programs, in a press release. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for British Columbians and is the most common cause of premature death in the South Asian community. In fact, research shows that the South Asian community may experience cardiovascular disease twice as often as the general population. “Heart disease is a huge health issue for my community, and most people don’t know that they would likely go to RCH if they needed to have a cardiac procedure performed,” said Shushma Datt, president and CEO of RJ 1200 and Radio Rim Jhim. “We need to ensure RCH has what it needs to be able to provide the best care, by raising money and awareness.” Adrienne Bakker, president and CEO of the hospital foundation, said the fundraiser is for an important cause.
“Cardiovascular disease leaves very few people’s lives untouched. That’s why we’re asking people in the community to make an investment in cardiac care at RCH – for themselves and for their loved ones.” The Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is an independent charitable organization that raises millions of dollars every year to fund projects and equipment for the hospital. For more information, visit www.rchfoundation.com. Radio Rim Jhim is Canada’s first and longestserving South Asian radio station, established in 1987, while RJ1200 is the country’s youngest, started in 2006. Both stations are properties of i.t. Media Broadcasting.

event – and now, 30 years later, Rivers Day is celebrated by millions of people at hundreds of events around the world. Kathleen Bertrand, exhibit and communication coordinator for the Fraser River Discovery Centre, is excited about the local event. “I love that Artists on the River connects to that passion that Mark had for our rivers, which led to the establishment of Rivers Day,” she said in the release. “Each artist and organization participating has been inspired by the Fraser. My hope is that visitors will also leave inspired.” The Vancouver Airport Authority is the presenting sponsor for this year’s event. Anne Murray, the airport authority’s vice-president of environmental affairs, said the airport’s location at the mouth of
the Fraser means the authority has developed strong environmental and sustainability programs to help protect the river. “The Fraser River plays a critical role in connecting our communities, and we’re proud to be the presenting sponsor of this event to celebrate the importance of rivers for all British Columbians,” she said. Other funds have been provided by the Government of Canada and the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. James Moore, the federal minister of Canadian heritage, will be joined by Mayor Wayne Wright and city councillors, MPs and MLA Dawn Black for the official opening ceremony at 11 a.m. The Fraser River Discovery Centre is at 788 Quayside Dr., on the riverfront. See www.fraserriverdiscovery.org for a schedule of the day’s events.

t was a double-duty charity event on Sunday when teams gathered to raise funds for both the Youth Centre in Moody Park and the Royal Columbian Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Mayor Wayne Wright’s seventh annual charity lawn bowls event attracted supporters, despite the very wet weather. In fact, it was so wet that no one even ventured to pitch a lawn bowl on the perfect greens. Cheryl Gauld organized the event and Starlight Casino, The Mulberry, IGA Marketplace and The Record pitched in as sponsors. Raffle prizes were contributed by Inn at the Quay, River Market and La Rustica. Entertainment was provided by Calvin Donnelly. And, of course, the Lawn Bowls Club volunteers put their culinary skills to work preparing a tasty luncheon.

An empty nest is inevitable. It’s just a matter of when the kids leave. Of course, you want to help them with a sound car, but not at the expense of a solid education. That’s where we can help.

Queensborough’s Annual Urban Farmers’ Fall Fair in one of the most successful small fairs in the Lower Mainland, attracting over two thousand visitors from as nearby as New Westminster, Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver and as far away as the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. People come back year after year to enjoy the old fashioned competitions, stage entertainment, farmers’ market, artisans’ corner, pony rides and other children’s activities, great food and lots of displays and demonstrations. As one fair goer said “It’s the way the PNE used to be”. The Fair started in 1994 in 2 rooms at the Queensborough Community Centre. Today it covers nearly 2 acres and continues to be organized by a dedicated committee of volunteers whose preparations start early every year. Over the years the Fair has been sponsored by a number of local businesses and community organizations. Proceeds from the Fair help fund community-based projects to enhance the Queensborough community. Past projects have included the establishment of the Port Royal Community Garden, Megan’s Tiny Tot Playground, the Millennium Murals in the Queensborough Community Centre and the Art We Awesome Wood Carving Mural at the Queensborough Middle School. Be sure to mark your calendars for Sunday, September 19th and bring the entire family down to celebrate the start of Fall!

Celebrating 40 years!
40 years of passion, curiosity and success New college strategic plan charts a bold course for Douglas
When Douglas College first threw open its doors in September 1970, no one could have foreseen that its graduates would go on to become political leaders, business moguls, sports stars – even celebrated actors and musicians. After all, just getting the doors open in the first place proved to be quite a challenge.
▲ (Left) Construction on the New Westminster campus started in 1979 and took over two years to complete.
In the early 1960s, after the provincial government recommended the creation of community colleges across B.C., two competing lobby groups arose in the Lower Mainland and began vying for two different institutions. It took more than three years of often bitter cross-community sparring and the intervention of the provincial government to convince the two factions to set aside their differences and unite to form a single college. In 1969, the name Douglas College was chosen for the new school. But without a campus and with a capital budget of only $950,000, where would the students go? College administration was left scrambling to cobble together space
in existing school facilities, church basements, warehouses – anything that could serve as a classroom. By Fall of 1970, the college had been able to secure enough classroom space at more than 20 locations across the region, including a smattering of portables on a dusty patch of land at the corner of Eighth Avenue at McBride in New Westminster. Douglas College was finally able to open with 85 faculty members and 1,600 students. Of course, that was then. Today, Douglas College spans two major campuses: the New Westminster Campus (which opened in 1982) and the David Lam Campus in Coquitlam, as well as a Training Centre in Surrey. Every year, about 20,000 students from across the Lower Mainland and around the world come to Douglas for post-secondary education: Bachelor’s degrees, university transfer courses, career programs in health care and human services, business, and creative arts, as well as short-term, non-credit courses for career or personal development. Douglas
About our name. . . Douglas College is named after Sir James Douglas, one of British Columbia’s most influential leaders. Born in Guyana in 1803, the son of a free Creole woman and a Scottish plantation owner, James Douglas was a motivated self starter who placed a high value
on education. Overcoming many obstacles, he worked his way up in the Hudson’s Bay Company and married Amelia Connolly, a Cree-Irish woman who became his life-long partner.
At the height of his career, James Douglas transitioned into politics, becoming the first governor
has 750 instructors who are highly regarded for bringing both academic rigor and their own real-world experience to the classroom to help students ignite their potential. And after 40 years of success, Douglas College is set to chart a new course. Later this month, the College will unveil an ambitious new strategic plan devoted to achieving the bold vision of positioning Douglas as the largest and most progressive baccalaureate degreegranting college in B.C. Thousands of students have passed through the classrooms and corridors of Douglas College over the last 40 years. Thousands of students have gone on to achieve their goals in work and life and made a lasting, positive impact on their communities. Douglas College is proud to be part of the fabric of the community and an important contributor to the economic and social foundation of the Lower Mainland. For more on Douglas College programs, visit douglascollege. ca
of British Columbia. Today he is considered one of the province’s founding fathers. The story of James and Amelia Douglas is in many ways a modern one and reflective of the multicultural tapestry that has become the Lower Mainland. Douglas College is proud to bear the Douglas name.
Celebrating 40 years of curiosity, passion and success Forty years ago Douglas College welcomed our first students. Today, we’re celebrating the curiosity, passion and success of thousands of graduates who have passed through our halls.
Thank you for being a part of it all, New Westminster.

Celebrating 40 years of success! Then and Now: Douglas Grads really soar
A message from the president College changing to meet the needs of future learners
Douglas College has been providing high quality, accessible education in the Lower Mainland for 40 years. Today, our mission is to provide a diverse community of learners with the enhanced skills and knowledge required to succeed in a rapidly changing society. Over the past several months, we’ve held frank discussions with students, community leaders and employDr. Scott McAlpine, President ees about the future of education at Douglas College. Our new strategic plan presents a modern vision for a progressive College that will give tomorrow’s learners the knowledge and skills needed to participate in the emerging information-based economy. Our outlook is increasingly international. Our pathways into, within and out of Douglas are becoming more open and flexible, and better connected to other top institutions in BC and beyond. And we are adapting to meet the needs of new Canadians and older learners whose careers are in transition. Three great advantages make us incredibly optimistic about our future. One is our expertise – 40 years’ worth – in delivering a high quality learning experience both inside and outside the classroom. Our faculty and our support staff
are second to none. We offer a professional, friendly, respectful, and supportive learning environment. Another advantage is our rich connections in the communities we serve. And our biggest advantage may be our incredible diversity – I’m sure you would be hard pressed to find a more diverse college or university community anywhere in Canada. That diversity represents a multiplicity of perspectives, and we’ll need to hear and consider all of them as we continue to adapt to meet the changing needs of the communities we serve. Thank you for 40 great years. We are here to meet your needs. Please join us for our annual Fall Fair at the David Lam Campus on Saturday, September 18. And if you have ever taken a course at Douglas College, or worked at the College, any time over the last 40 years, then don’t miss our homecoming party on Friday, September 24.

LANCE RYAN
Then: White Rock native Lance Ryan’s transformation from guitar hero to heroic tenor sounds like a libretto from one of the Wagnerian operas he performs: a young student goes on a quest to please his mother, only to find hidden talents which will take him on a journey beyond his wildest dreams. Ryan’s journey to center stage in the great European opera houses started at the back of a lecture hall in Douglas College in fall 1989. He was 18, straight out of high school and enrolled as a guitar major in the Music program. But he was required to take choir – something that struck a sour note with him and his guitar classmates. “All we guitar fret-board fiends sat in the last row of the choir group, begrudgingly fulfilling our required ensemble credits,” says Ryan. “My enthusiasm was not at an all time high when it came to choir participation.” The lack of enthusiasm resulted in a poor grade, even though his instructor noted Ryan had some vocal talent. The low mark prompted Ryan’s mother, Gloria Clinker, to suggest some private singing lessons. The voice lessons started Ryan thinking seriously about a singing career. He started combing the College’s recording collection, listening to other singers and using the practice rooms. He went on to finish his Bachelor of Music degree at UBC, and his interest became a passion. Now: Since his stellar German debut as Otello at Städtische Bühnen Münster in 2005, Lance Ryan has been one of the most sought after tenors in Europe. His performance as Siegfried in both Siegfried and Götterdämmerung from Wagner’s Ring Cycle in 2006-07 was widely hailed by critics. In 2010 and 2011, Ryan will hit the stages of Amsterdam Opera, Oper Köln, the Bayreuther Festspiele, La Scala, L’Opéra National du Rhin and El Liceu in Barcelona, as well as a very special homecoming performance at Douglas College on December 13, 2010.

PATRICK GALLAGHER
Then: Back in 1988, Chilliwack’s Patrick Gallagher hadn’t quite figured out who he was. He had gone from being a good student to simply goofing around after his parents’ divorce. He enrolled in the Theatre Program at Douglas College to, as he puts it, “get my parents off my ass.” But he ended up getting a lot more. Now: You may recognize Gallagher as short-shorts wearing football

coach, Ken Tanaka, from the hit musical comedy series Glee. Gallagher also has a recurring role as a bloodsucker in HBO’s Southern gothic vampire series True Blood. He has also had roles in the Vancouver-shot television staples Da Vinci’s Inquest and Da Vinci’s City Hall, along with the Academy Awardwinning feature films Master and Commander and Sideways. He even came to life as Attila the Hun in both popular Night at the Museum films, going as far as inventing his character’s gibberish language. Of his experience at Douglas College, Gallagher says he learned something of immense value to any actor. “I learned the joy of performing there,” he says. “That’s the biggest thing I took from my time at Douglas.”
MAHSHID AND HOOMAN
Then: Like many new immigrants, Mahshid G. and Hooman S. faced their share of challenges when they came to Canada from Iran in 2007. They had no family or friends in their new country. And despite their education as medical doctors, they had no job prospects. At the same time, Mahshid was pregnant with the couple’s son. “When I look back at that time, I feel like we did an impossible thing,” says Hooman. “When we came here, everything is new: the country, the language. Even things like grocery shopping and banking are difficult.” “It was hard to go from a high level in your society to a situation where you are jobless,” says Mahshid. “It’s worth it in the end, because it’s a better life here for us.” Now: Shortly after coming to Canada, they discovered the Training Group at Douglas College’s Skills Connect for Immigrants Program, which helps new Canadians find employment in their field of expertise. Today, they are doing medical residencies through the Ministry of Health’s International Medical Graduates of British Columbia Program. Hooman is doing a five year orthopedic surgery residency, while Mahshid is working in family medicine for two years. Skills Connect for Immigrants offers a range of services, including career development workshops and one-on-one sessions with career consultants at sites throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. “Skills Connect was a huge help for both of us,” says Mahshid. “When we began the exams that are part of the licensing process for international medical grads, I was so busy studying and taking care of our baby son that I couldn’t take a job. The program helped pay a portion of the costs of our exams

and helped me access a child care subsidy, which allowed us to focus on our studies.” “We spent a lot of time with our counselors doing mock interviews and learning things like how to dress for interviews and how to shake hands, things that seem simple but were very important for us to learn,” she adds. “They were very experienced and helpful and always ready to help us find a suitable job.” The Coquitlam couple says they understand the difficulties skilled immigrants face when it comes to finding appropriate employment, but recognize that many of these challenges come with the territory. “It’s frustrating at first, but when you enter the system you can understand how different the society and cultures are and you need to learn those differences,” says Hooman. “It can be difficult, but if you work hard, the opportunity to be successful will open up for you. We’re very grateful to Canada and its people for giving us this opportunity.”
Congratulations on your
40 th Anniversary!

Queensborough’s Urban Farmers’ Fall Fair
Main Stage ENTERTAINMENT THE GARNEAU SISTERS - Michaela, who is soon to be 17 years old, and her sister Dominique, 15 yrs old, have been fiddling together since they were young children. In 1999, the girls started fiddle lessons at Queensborough Community Centre. Now, 11 years later, they have have expanded their knowledge of fiddle tunes. They not only take private lessons but they also are members of two fiddle groups in the Abbotsford area. They have fiddled with some of Canada’s most celebrated fiddlers and performed at events from Vancouver to Scotland. The girls live in Abbotsford BC with their two younger sisters, Marya and Kiera, who are following in their big sisters’ fiddle footsteps.
“YOUR TURN” consists of local Vancouverites, Elysia Dubland on guitar and vocals, Kyle Hagen on bass, and Tyler McMillan on drums. Although the three have known each other for years, they first played together as a band in September of 2009. Previously, Elysia and Kyle played for several years together in a jazz/pop band called Avencho, while Elysia and Tyler have played for several different events with various musicians. “Your Turn” incorporates jazz, funk, rock, and pop music, bringing their own unique style to songs old and new. They play everything from jazz standards to pop covers to original tunes. They love all kinds of music and have a wide variety of influences including Dave Matthews Band, Norah Jones, Corrine Bailey Rae, KT Tunstall, Wes Montgomery, Ella Fitzgerald and many more. Providing a refreshing sound with funky beats, their music never fails to delight. THE WHEAT IN THE BARLEY - in their early days over a decade ago, began concocting a “Celtic/Slavic brew” of high energy instrumentals. But, as their music has evolved, they have developed into a full fledged contemporary Canadian folk band drawing upon many more flavours of our rich heritage from coast to coast. Their music crosses genres and generations, reaching young and old with their electrifying arrangements of timeless tunes. Discover the “Wheaties” in action at www.wheatinthebarley.com SHÉ - Shé is a children’s singer/songwriter, performing upbeat, high energy, interactive shows geared to children ages 2-10. Shé has a charming way with children and keeps them captivated from the start. From the opening drumbeat, children and parents will find themselves singing and dancing along to the catchy tunes. An action-packed, musical smorgasboard! To find out more about Shé visit www.munchkinmusic.net THE WESBURN WRANGLERS TEEN AND PRETEEN SQUARE DANCE CLUB is entering its 53rd year of dancing in Burnaby. Our club is made up of young people between the ages of six and nineteen who meet weekly to learn and practice modern western dancing, which includes square dancing, round dancing (a kind of choreographed ballroom dancing) and line dancing. Dancers can also learn to call square dances and cue round dances. This is not the square dancing you did in gym class at school – we use modern music and our teachers strive to make the classes interesting, challenging, and most of all, fun! If you would like to join us and give modern western dancing a try, call Cathy at 604-525-4233 or email wesburnwranglers@gmail.com THE ‘SONS OF GRANVILLE’- What happens when a passionate guitarist who cut his teeth busking on the streets of Vancouver gets together with a gifted violist who endured the intensity of UBC’s Classical Music program? You get Sons of Granville! Thomas Beckman on Viola and Matthew Lennox on Guitar come together, right now, to bring a musical experience unlike anything you’ve ever heard to the Urban Farmers Fall Market!

Queensborough’s Urban Farmers’ Fall Fair
DEMOS & DISPLAYS at the Fall Fair This year we have a fabulous variety of demonstrations and displays at the Fair.
If you want to get some seasonal gardening tips, experts from the New Westminster Horticultural Society will be at the Fair to answer your questions and tell you more about their organization. The Port Royal Community Garden will also be there to get you inspired about growing your own food and help you get more involved in backyard gardening. The BC Chicken Growers’ Association will be returning to the Fair with their Poultry in Motion mobile mini barn to increase awareness and educate consumers about the poultry industry. The mini barn shows the different life stages of a chicken from day old chicks to full grown chickens.
For those of you who are fascinated with reptiles, you will want to check out the West Coast Society for the Protection and Conservation of Reptiles (WSPCR). This is your chance to get up close and personal and learn more about some very intriguing snakes. As a non-profit group exclusively based on volunteer work, the WSPCR organizes events that counter misinformation about reptiles, teaching respect and fighting fear, and introducing people to the amazing beauty of snakes and lizards and their contribution to the balance and diversity of nature.
Honey harvesting demonstrations will take place at the Fair this year courtesy of Queensborough’s own Lisa Egan. Bernardin will be on hand to give you great canning tips. Greater Vancouver Weavers & Spinners Guild will
also be there to get you inspired about weaving.
Many local organizations will be at the Fair to let you know what services and opportunities are available in your community. The City of New Westminster Engineering Department will be on hand to inform you about their composter and rain barrel programs and their new automated waste collection system. The New Westminster Early Childhood Development Committee will also be there to raise awareness of the importance of a child’s first six years and connect parents and caregivers of young children to developmental information and community resources. As well, representatives from the New Westminster Youth Services, New Westminster Museum and Archives, and the Royal City Farmers’ Market will be at the Fair to tell you more about their activities.

Fall Fair
FAVORITES
What would a fair be without a Farmers’ Market, Artisan Corner and, of course, great food. The Market will entice you with a tantalizing array of locally grown vegetables, flowers, organic apples, jams, jellies, and honey. Local artists and crafters will provide a vast array of beautiful handmade creations from jewellery, carvings, porcelain art, clothing, children’s costumes, small furniture, wooden toys and paintings. You can satisfy your hunger at any number of food vendors serving up hamburgers, hotdogs, Italian sausages, vegetarian curry, quesadillas, snow cones, baked goods, and minidonuts. This year the Fall Fair will also be hosting Young Entrepreneurs. Children and youth are encouraged to set up shop at the Fair with their creations. You decide what to sell, we provide the table FREE. If you are interested, please call the Queensborough Community Centre for more details at (604) 525-7388.
Children’s ACTIVITIES You will not want to miss out on these favourite children’s activities. Laughing Stock Ranch is back with their very popular pony rides. There will be many different types of animals for children to play with including goats, sheep, calves, llamas, chickens, rabbits and many more.
Children can take part in handling, brushing and feeding the animals. Korki the Clown will be at the Fair showcasing balloon tying and children can also show off their creativity at the Kids’ Craft area. There will also be a swing ride, trampoline, go-carts, and mini-golf.

Looks like another storied series
You’re never too old for ringette
’Bellies bounce back in Mann with powerplay
BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR
It could be a long series. That’s the consensus after Saturday’s Game 2 of the 101st edition of the Mann Cup senior A lacrosse championships in Peterborough, Ont. But the Peterborough Lakers made the mountain a little bit steeper to climb, claiming Game 3 with a 10-7 win Monday. New Westminster tied the series up at one game apiece on Saturday, following a 10-7 victory over the hometown Lakers. The Salmonbellies lost the opening match 13-11 in overtime after outscoring Peterborough in the first two periods. It was an ominous sign for the B.C. champions, who had lost four straight overtime encounters to the Brampton Excelsiors in a storied seven-game series at last year’s Mann Cup in New Westminster. But it was the younger ‘Bellies who showed their legs in the later going of Game 2, pulling away from Peterborough in the third period on four straight goals by game stars Jordan Hall and Cliff Smith, and a pair of power-play markers by rookie righthander Alex Gajic. However, Game 3 was another matter. Peterborough scored on its first two power play

Ringette has a place for you, whatever your age and background. The Burnaby/New Westminster assocation will be holding a second masters’ development program for adults over the age of 30, who are keen to enjoy the winter sport the younger kids do. The program will get started this Saturday with a free introductory skate at Moody Park Arena. One of the returning players is 33-year-old New Westminster resident Kim Savory. “I had just so much fun,” said Savory, a former national team pistol shooter who took part at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. After hanging up the pistols, Savory went looking for another means to keep active and found ringette. “It was such a good level. I felt really comfortable,” Savory said, who dabbled in figure skating in her youth, but had never tried on hockey skates until last year. “They invite you in, it doesn’t matter what level you’re in. Everyone is passing the ring,” she said.

The Lakers held a 6-1 lead heading into the final frame with only Craig Conn finding a way to beat Peterborough goalie Mike Thompson. NewWestminsterfound some magic to start the

Matt Roik took the loss in goal. “It was kind of a huge hole to go down 4-0 and then 6-1. Our shooting in the first and second periods was not our best stuff,” said Salmonbellies president and general manager Dan Richardson. “Both our losses were when everybody played
Hyacks doubled by No. 1 Hawks in home opener BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
A better second half proved too little, too late for the struggling New Westminster Hyacks. The varsity Hyacks lost their second straight B.C. high school football game, falling 40-20 to W.J. Mouat, the No. 1 team in the province, in their exhibtion home opener at Mercer Stadium last Friday. New Westminster mustered 320 yards along the ground, most coming in the second half when the offence came to life for the first time this season. James Belgrave led the Hyack ground game with 126 yards and one touchdown. Belgrave’s longest run from scrimmage, an 80-yard jaunt in the second quarter, set up Grade 11 quarterback Regan Eberding
for a three-yard touchdown that pulled the home team to within a point of the Abbotsford team. But mental mistakes gave most of that momentum back to the Hawks. Mouat scored two more touchdowns late in the quarter, the second aided by a roughing-thepasser penalty on a third-and-20 situation in the final minute of the half. Mouat led 19-7 at halftime. Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji called the first half “pretty disappointing.” The Hawks scored again in the third quarter before the Hyacks finally put together a nice 70yard drive capped off by a second short TD run by Eberding. Ian Henderson, who had a solid game on both sides of the ball, got into the end zone for a two-point conversion, making

there was plenty to build on, as he looks forward to Friday’s Homecoming Game against the No. 4-ranked Terry Fox Ravens at Mercer Stadium. “Anytime we had adversity, I was happy to see our team never stopped battling,” Lalji said. “We’ve got a really tough schedule and we have to pull through it. If we’re in (the game) in the fourth quarter, good things will happen.”

Short-man Rovers fight back for draw with Akal BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The Sapperton Rovers kept its unbeaten record in the premier division of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League following a 1-1 draw with Akal FC on Saturday. The Rovers fell behind 1-0 on a first-half penalty kick. They then had to play
a man short after a player was sent off with 25 minutes to play. Sapperton player of the game Jeff Rogers tied things up in the 75th minute, finishing off a Stefan Schmidle penalty kick with a volley from near the penalty spot. “We expected to win that. We just didn’t get out of second gear,” said Sapperton head coach
Thomas Mills. “In the end, we were happy to get the tie. We certainly are happy with where we are right now. The effort’s there and we fought back to get the tie.” The Rovers currently sit alone in fourth place with a record of 1-0-2. Sapperton meet the Serbian White Eagles at Burnaby Lake-West on Sunday. Kickoff is 6 p.m.
Ringette: It’s about having fun and fitness ◗ continued from page 29
Last year’s adult team will continue to play in an organized master’s league this season, while the development team will take part in a learn-to-play program that will run approximately 10 to 12 weeks. “We’ve made some fantastic friendships. It’s more about the locker room and spending time together,” said Nagel, who initially spearheaded the adult ringette program in Burnaby and New Westminster. “I think it’s something moms and adult women are looking for. They want to have fun and be fit.” Susanna Chow, who is coordinating this season’s development program, already has approximately 15 women interested in coming out. The 44-year-old mother of two said
playing the game herself has given her a greater appreciation for what her kids are going through. “We all come in at the same level and that’s the beauty of it. We want to have fun, that’s the way we promote it with the kids,” said Chow. The free adult skate is part of the association’s promotion at Moody Park Arena on Saturday that invites old and young to give the fast-moving sport a try. The youth component starts at 3:15 p.m. at the New West rink. The association is particularly interested in players in the under-nine and u-12 age groups. The adult-only skate follows at 4:45 p.m. and is open to all, regardless of experience.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words Emmanuel Arceneaux - 84 I’m from the south – I was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana. As a guy who has always been pretty athletic, I began playing football in high school and also ran track. In fact, I did so well at that level that I was named an all-district wide receiver and free safety and was also an honourable mention place kicker in my senior year. When I graduated from high school, I decided that attending college at Mississippi’s Alcorn State University would give me the best opportunity to get a post-secondary education while realizing my dream to play football at the next level. After four years with the Braves, I seized the opportunity to head north to Canada to join the Lions Emmanuel Arceneaux joined youngsters on the field this as a rookie guy in their receiving corps. I had a great time summer during the BC Lions’ annual Timbits Camp. Photos courtesy BC Lions in my first season which motivated me to train even harder when I went back home during the winter months, in addition to working as a substitute teacher and track coach at my former high school while mentoring local kids as part of Alexandria’s Boys and Girls Club. Now that I’m in my second season, I still can’t believe that I get to come to work every day to play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to win a championship with this team. Win or lose, the guys in our locker room are a close group and I’m proud of our accomplishments on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of being a professional athlete from a young age, I know what it’s like to look to others for inspiration. For that reason, I love taking part in the Lions’ community efforts during the season, particularly the club’s annual Timbits Camp. I feel proud knowing that I could be teaching football basics and the importance of being active to a young kid who one day could use his or her athletic ability to secure a university scholarship and a bright future. As a guy who comes from a small town, I know that it’s up to the local community to invest in their kids in order to ensure they succeed in life.

John Grant led all scorers with seven points, including the unassisted game-opening goal. The difference in the game was the ‘Bellies goaltending, said Richardson. Tyler Richards stopped 38 Peterborough shots in his first Mann Cup start, including 14 in the final frame. “Our PK did pretty well, but fiveon-five, I think we match up real well,” Richardson said, adding that the next three games could favour the younger ‘Bellies. “We like our chances.

In the overtime, Shawn Evans and Daryl Gibson both scored in the opening two minutes with unassisted tallies to swing the advantage in Peterborough’s favour. Smith tallied a hat trick for the Salmonbellies, while Jordan McBride, Hall and third star Conn scored a goal and three assists apiece. Martin Cummings also had a pair of markers for New Westminster in the opening game. Roik made 39 saves in the ’Bellies goal. On Saturday, special teams played a big role in the final score. New Westminster was a perfect five-for-five on the power play, while Peterborough’s potent odd-man offence clicked on four-of-seven extra-man opportunities.

The Royal City Reign held last year’s league champion Coquitlam Metro-Ford Chargers to a scoreless draw in their under-14 Metro league debut.

But it was Erica Busto with a late run down the left flank, who had the best chance to score. At the Starfire tournament in Seattle over Labour Day, the Reign lost in the championship final.

Career opportunities in construction
Since 2008, construction has become the largest employer in the goods sector of BC industry, moving ahead of manufacturing to become the largest employer in this sector, providing jobs to over 200,000 people in B.C. Growing populations have put a lot of pressure on the existing housing market as well as other types of infrastructure including day care, schools, colleges, roads, bridges, etc. Naturally, new housing and other infrastructure must be built in order to meet the needs of an increasing population.
Infrastructure Design and Construction, Mechanical Design and Modeling, Electrical Design and Drafting, etc. Careers in construction are varied and include trades people, contractors, business and administration, workers in applied sciences and related activities including urban planners, architects, engineers, construction estimators, building inspectors and other similar occupations. The skills necessary to become employed in this important sector can be gained by participating in job-specific training programs. Vancouver Central College www.vancollege.com
In the months followoing the 2010 Olympics, the federal and provincial governments have committed a great deal of funding to support new and ongoing projects such as public housing developments and road, bridge and highway improvements in an effort to create jobs help jumpstart the BC economy. When we hear the term Construction Work, some people still imagine a worker at the construction site with a shovel and a hammer. But in 2010, this is no longer the case. People must be trained professionally to function within this diversified industry. Necessary skills include the practical application of AutoCAD, Architectural Design and Drafting, Civil Engineering
