Walia loses lawsuit Judge says city was not negligent in its dealings over a pub and liquor store BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

Acivil lawsuit brought against the City of New Westminster citing gross negligence and misrepresentation has been dismissed by the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Nirmal Walia, the president of P.S.D. Enterprises Ltd. and the former owner of the Windsor Hotel on Columbia Street, launched the lawsuit against the city. He claimed that Tim Whitehead, the city’s former director of development services, assured him that if he sold the Windsor Hotel property to a developer, the city would undertake any necessary rezoning to enable him to relocate his private liquor store to a new location on 12th Street. Walia sold the property to Ballenas Project Management, who then demolished the building to build the new Downtown Interurban condominium tower, for $2 million but never received approval from the city to relocate his liquor store. He later lost both his provincial pub and liquor store licences and was seeking up to $2 million in damages. In a ruling released on April 8, Judge Miriam Gropper said: “P.S.D. has not satisfied me that ◗Lawsuit Page 8

Nursing complaints: Janice Buchanan, vice-president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, speaks at a rally at Sherbrooke and Columbia streets, outside Royal Columbian Hospital, to raise the union’s concerns about “hallway health care.”

Nurses raise ruckus at rally BY BRENT RICHTER REPORTER brichter@royalcityrecord.com

Seizing on the federal election campaign, the B.C. Nurses’ Union held a rally outside Royal Columbian Hospital Monday afternoon to demand an end to “hallway health care.” “There’s 54 patients admitted that have no beds to go to, and that is outrageous,” said Janice Buchanan, union vice-president, gesturing to the hospital. “We’re going to be out there to hold our politicians accountable.” Helen Roberts, a New Westminster resident and pediatric care nurse at Royal Columbian, said she sees that kind of overcrowding daily.

“If you go on any of the wards, there’s anywhere between three to five beds in the hallways. The hospital has gone off and bought privacy screens by the dozen to create these beds,” she said. Roberts said treating patients in hallways is unsafe for both the patients and hospital staff trying to treat them. She said her daughter-in-law was recently a patient at Royal Columbian and was forced to use a hallway bed for hours without access to a bathroom. Roberts said Royal Columbian’s beds are often taken up by seniors who could be treated at home, but home-care services don’t have the funding or staffing to be effective. She said an expansion of Royal Columbian would also go a long way to

eliminating crowded hallways. Roberts said concerns over overcrowding shouldn’t be limited to the hospital staff and patients who have been forced to deal with it, as everyone has a stake in health care. “With the election coming up, it should be on the forefront for everybody because it concerns everybody. Our health care is really going downhill,” she said. New Westminster-Coquitlam New Democrat Fin Donnelly was the only local candidate to appear at the rally. Green Party candidate Rebecca Helps was working at the time, according to the union. Liberal candidate Ken Lee didn’t respond to the union’s invitation, and Conservative candidate Diana Dilworth’s campaign told the

Community centre design unveiled BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

An expansion to the Queensborough Community Centre will try to make the building more welcoming. The $6.2-million expansion to the community centre will include child-care and early childhood development spaces, expanded weight room facilities, library services, police office space, dedicated youth and senior spaces and additional multipurpose rooms. Jennifer Marshall, an architect with Urban Arts Architecture, said the plan is to retain the existing community centre and build additions on two sides of the existing building. The expansion will also include an atrium space and will see the existing fitness space moved to a new area upstairs and used as the new home of a library/reading room area. “The theme has been about making connections, making community,” she said. Marshall said the expansion is really building on the strengths of the existing community centre and trying to create a “pavilion in the park” rather than a street front building. She noted that Contributed image/THE RECORD the community centre currently has few windows providing views to the “extraordinary site” that’s New design: An artist’s vision of the new Queensborough Community Centre.

Hume Park elementary back in spotlight BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

It’s an argument that should have happened on Feb. 8, but the future of Hume Park Elementary may be back on the table. On Monday morning, when the New Westminster school district posted the agenda for its April 12 meeting (which was held after Record deadlines), one item stood out. Trustee Brent Atkinson moved forward a motion with the subject: Hume Park/Richard McBride consolidation. Hume Park has been earmarked for closure or consolidation in the past because of dwindling enrolment numbers. In that one-paragraph motion, Atkinson is requesting staff undertake a review related the possible consolidation of Hume Park and Richard McBride “in a manner that is consistent with board policy.”

When reached by The Record on Monday afternoon, the longtime school trustee was adamant in his argument. “If we have a program in the district, and it doesn’t matter what program it is, that isn’t educationally advantageous or fiscally responsible, we have to look at it,” said Atkinson, who said his latest numbers are that of the 26 students at Hume Park, eight are currently in Grade 5 and thus graduating to middle school in September. Add in the fact the district is anticipating less than eight new kindergarten students entering the school in September, and Atkinson wants to at least revisit the issue of operating a school with less than 25 students. “Currently, we have one grade with one student and another with three students,” said Atkinson. “Educationally, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, and I don’t think it’s fiscally responsible.”

Atkinson said the motion may away,” said Cook. “Brent didn’t not even be debated if he can’t have an opportunity to speak on get another trustee to second his this issue.” Cook, who said he has voted motion, but when The Record contacted trustee Casey Cook, he in the past not to keep Hume Park was sympathetic to at least hear- open, said he doesn’t know how he’ll vote if the issue ing what Atkinson had of reopening the 45-day to say. school closure process Cook said that at is on the table, but he the Jan. 25 meeting, thinks that if Atkinson when trustees voted 4wants to present his 1 against reopening the case, he would have no 45-day school closure problem seconding the process for Hume Park, motion, if only to let both Atkinson and Jim Atkinson present his Goring had advised the argument. board they would not be Hume Park parent present.

The Hume Park saga has played out for several years, as trustees grapple with budgetary issues across the entire district. Trustees narrowly voted in the spring of 2009 to keep the school open. It was being considered for closure in a bid to save money. Voice New Westminster trustees Casey Cook, Lisa Graham and Jim Goring voted at the time to accept a staff recommendation to close the school, while unionendorsed trustees Lori Watt, Michael Ewen and James Janzen, along with independent Brent Atkinson, voted to keep it open. But with Atkinson’s change of heart, the issue looks like it is ◗Hume Page 9

for the B.C. SPCA to use in animal cruelty investigations. Considering the SPCA subsists on donations, this only seemed reasonable. As well, the sled-dog investigation, which the SPCA led, is estimated to cost at least $200,000. Clark also said the government will start providing annual funding to the SPCA. To be sure, there will certainly be protests or cries for help from other animal rescue organizations that are

hurting from a lack of funds. And there will be continuing pressure from animal rights groups about changing the rules around how farm animals are treated in B.C. And, finally, veterinarians have mixed feelings about a new rule that would force them to report suspected cases of animal abuse. But Clark’s pledges are a big step forward from what the previous government did, and these changes will make a difference.

Where do the Greens belong? IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

he kerfuffle over Green Party leader Elizabeth May’s exclusion from the federal leaders’ debate is a reminder there may be a controversy over the makeup of the next B.C. leaders’ debate. May lost a court challenge of the decision by the television media consortium – made up of national networks such as Global, CBC, CTV, RadioCanada and TVA – to not invite her to participate in either of the English or French language debate. May’s loss in court may have negative implications for B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk’s chances for being included in the next B.C. debate (I stress the word “may” because no decision will be made by the B.C. television consortium for some time yet). The Greens have had their leader in the provincial debate since the 2001 election. Former Green leader Adrianne Carr was given a place because, at the time, the NDP was in freefall in the polls and the spread between the NDP and the Greens had narrowed so much it was hard to argue that excluding the upstart

Greens while including the fading NDP was somehow fair. Indeed, while Carr’s party didn’t elect an MLA in the election, it did pull in more than 12 per cent of the popular vote – more than half of what the NDP received that year. With that impressive showing, Carr was invited back to the 2005 vote. But the Green vote shrunk to just 9.2 per cent in that contest. Nevertheless, Carr’s successor as Green leader – Sterk – was invited to the 2009 debate. But the Green vote declined for the second straight election – down to just 8.2 per cent. So, a question naturally arises: should the Green leader be part of the next televised debate of B.C. political leaders? As someone who has some degree of input into the decision by B.C. television stations about the debate structure (I’ve helped negotiate the last three election debates with the parties involved in each one), I think it’s a fair question. The NDP has long complained about including the Greens in the debate. The party feels the Greens “steal” more votes from the NDP than from the B.C. Liberals and so has the most to lose from the publicity a debate appearance brings a political party. As well, a number of environmentalists have become increasingly frustrated with the Green party’s inability to connect

School board’s criticism ironic Dear Editor

Re: Good report card doesn’t impress trustees, The Record, April 2. In reference to the latest publication of the Fraser Institute’s Report Card, The Record quotes New Westminster school board chair Michael Ewen as saying “I think their methodology is flawed and they’re politically motivated.” The irony of this statement, delivered mere days after the school board itself sent out a very methodologically flawed survey that was quite obviously politically motivated, astounds me. Don’t get me wrong, I am no fan of the Fraser Institute. But I am a fan of sound science, integrity, and transparency. And, quite frankly, the school board, with its survey that includes asking elementary school children if they would like two weeks for spring break instead of one, doesn’t exactly get a gold star in any of

those categories. What possible reason, other than political motivation to artificially inflate the numbers showing support, could one give for including the opinions of children on this topic? Can they fully understand the ramifications of such a change including the financial and academic costs? I think not. My advice to the school board: Criticize the Fraser Institute all you want, but make sure your own backyard is in order first. Kim Deighton, by e-mail

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Criticism is unfair to city

◗ continued from page 6

good to say … how sad. With the unrelenting, sensationalized efforts to spit on our city that he lives in, it seems he is in a state of precarious assumptions, with continual efforts publicly demoralizing the charm and character our beautiful city is proud of, also causing adverse effects on the already struggling Front Street businesses. Fact: The “train accident” that happened years ago is in fact not directly on the new park property but on a neighbouring plot. Anyone with the energy Mr. Bell has in the drive to defame by ruthless public attacks should at least have correct facts and have the decency and respect to diplomatically put their efforts towards who or what actually caused this – the train. Stop the defamation and demoralizing the character of our city by malicious, public, alarmist, sensationalized letters. Get the facts. You would get further by targeting the correct place. We all know what happened, Mr. Bell, and somehow you exaggerate and twist the facts, and publicly direct blame to the wrong place. I am proud of our city and its valuable history, as are most residents who invested their livelihoods here. You do know “history,” Mr. Bell. Be thankful we are not in the past. Back then, they would have run you out of town. Sandra D. Jaser, New Westminster

Harper’s arsenal of evasion Dear Editor:

Political polling continues to show the Conservatives in the lead, which is understandably applauded by the CEOs who’ve

been promised more tax cuts, and by industrialists who know Stephen Harper will not let environmental concerns interfere with exploiting natural resources and polluting our air and water. But why in the world are so many “ordinary” Canadians supporting the Tories when the major Harper commandments go against what other polls show are the needs and wishes of the people? Surely we know by now that the old claim that fattening big business means more jobs and prosperity for all is a ridiculous myth. Feeding a horse all the oats it can eat, it has been said, may indeed result in some undigested grain on the ground to feed the sparrows, but is that all we want? The Harperites are set to spend $30 billion or more on new warplanes, assuring us that shiny new machines will guarantee protection against all the baddies out there that also have shiny new machines. But I wonder why all the nations that already have great fleets of these things are clearly paranoid? And wouldn’t we rather spend our money in healing the sick and preventing disease? I think the only notable talent of Mr. Harper is his command of political tricks and schemes that apparently influence the thinking of many Canadians. He has a fine arsenal of evasion, coverup and economic threat to counter his moves that make us an international laughingstock in climate change, apes U.S. foreign policy and rubbishes the natural world we need for survival. Do we need this election? Of course we do. And we need it far more than we need any more of the hollow, Sam Slick cleverness of the arrogant Stephen Harper. Tony Eberts, New Westminster

Debate: Who should be at the table? ◗ continued from page 6

with the voters and wonder whether it’s more effective to shape stronger environmental values in the other parties rather than support the Greens. Despite three debate appearances, the Greens have yet to elect anyone and in fact haven’t even come close to winning a seat. However, the Greens argue that electing an MP or MLA should not be the sole criterion for determining which party leader gets on the debate. There is some validity to this argument. Our first-past-the-post electoral system favours large established parties and makes it difficult for newer, smaller parties to win seats. At the national level,

the Green party received almost one million votes in the 2008 election but won no seats. Should those near-million voters have no representation in the debate? At the provincial level, the Greens won almost 135,000 votes in 2009. Is that enough to get on the stage at the debate? May has complained that the network consortium established the rules on an arbitrary basis. That may be true, but any rule that anyone else comes up with would be of an arbitrary nature as well. Perhaps there should be more than one criterion to establish which party leader is allowed in such debates. Such things as seat representation, portion of

popular vote, a large number of candidates in the field, and significant polling results (from a series of polls over time) could be used as criteria, with leaders qualifying for inclusion if their parties meet a set combination of those factors. But there is no sure thing when it comes to leaders’ televised debates. Neither Sterk nor, for that matter, newly installed B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins, is guaranteed a spot in next provincial debate, even though they will vociferously argue for one. Indeed, Elizabeth May’s exclusion has officially opened the debate about the next B.C. debate. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

union Dilworth was “busy with other commitments” at the time. Donnelly said the overcrowding is indicative of government decisions that don’t prioritize health care. “I, along with so many others in this country, am outraged about the systemic underfunding of our health-care system. Programs are chronically underfunded or slashed.

People are increasingly expected to accept less care or pay out of pocket for necessary treatment,” he told the crowd. “Shame, shame,” the nurses chanted in response. Donnelly then promised the NDP would provide “consistent and adequate funding” for health care, which would include hiring and training more healthcare workers, expanding

home care and palliative care for seniors, making prescription drugs more affordable and supporting prevention by focusing on childhood nutrition. About 40 nurses attended the event, where the union offered Tim Hortons coffee as a sardonic nod to the February incident in which the hospital was so crowded, staff were forced to treat patients in the hospital’s Tim Hortons outlet.

Student honoured BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster Secondary School Grade 12 student Todd MacMurchy received a Dr. M. Wosk scholarship for Youth Environmental Leadership at the Pacific Parklands Foundation annual general meeting held on March 31. MacMurchy was one of six people who shared a total of $2,250 as part of the foundation’s 2010 awards program. “Todd was selected to receive this award as a result of his volunteer commitment and leadership skills,” states a press release from the foundation. “He has been involved with the Catching the Spirit program as a peer leader for only one year, but volunteered an incredible 147 hours to the program, contributing to both the overnight and daytime programs.”

Todd, who plans to attend BCIT after graduation, has also volunteered at Walk for Smiles and was part of a group of Catching the Spirit youth who created and delivered a workshop on biodiversity at Metro Vancouver’s annual Parksfest. The awards were established by the Wosk family to encourage youth leadership in environmental areas. According to a statement from Wosk, “With one good leader, there is the potential of attracting a thousand or more participants. Without that one good leader, thousands of people may never get involved.” The Pacific Parklands Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of Metro Vancouver’s regional parks. There are 21 such parks in and around the Lower Mainland, covering more than 10,000 square hectares.

Our number 1 responsibility is to the student population, and I don’t think it’s educationally sound to run a school of that size. … I have the best interests of all students in the district at the top of my mind.” Watt, reached by The Record on Monday afternoon, said it was interesting that Atkinson is bringing up the motion now. And while she wouldn’t say how she might vote, if she has to, on Tuesday night, she said she’s been clear with her position during previous votes. “I don’t want to see a small school close,” she said. “We made a commitment to parents (at Hume) to keep it open, and we

Creating a welcoming city

Project wants input on how to make New West a friendlier place to be BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Welcoming and Inclusive Community Project wants your input on how to make New Westminster a friendlier place to live and work. The project is encouraging individuals of all ages and community groups to submit ideas for “little things” people can do to reach out to their neighbours and make life in New Westminster more welcoming. The contest, which runs in April, includes prizes such as dinners at local restaurants and other New West experiences. “We are looking for simple things people can do every day, like wearing a button that encourages people to say hi,” said John Stark, the city’s senior social planner. Judges representing the city, local community groups and the business community will select winning entries in three categories – community groups, youth and adults. Entries will be judged on their creativity, effectiveness and ease of implementation. “We are looking for fun, clever ideas that get people talking and make it easier to meet people,” said Coun. Bill Harper, who is one of the contest judges. The contest is the latest offering of the New Westminster Welcoming and Inclusive Community Project, which has been underway for the past couple

of years. The goal has been to create a per cent of Queensborough, 38 per community that welcomes newcom- cent of Brow of the Hill and 37.9 per ers and creates the type of community cent of the Uptown neighbourhoods are comprised of immigrants. where they want to stay.

French marketplace on tomorrow

BY ALFIE LAU REPORTER alau@royalcityrecord.com

Local French immersion parents who find it hard to find resources for their children can have the sellers come to them tomorrow. On Thursday, April 14, from 2:45 to 7:30 p.m. in the Herbert Spencer Elementarygym,theNewWestminster chapter of Canadian Parents for French is hosting its sixth annual Marché Français Marketplace. “With the recent closings of Vancouver’s most renowned multi language book store, Sophia’s Books, and the largest source of music, games, CDs and DVDs, French bestsellers, it is even harder to find local French resources,” Heidi Clarkson, local parent and chair of the New

Westminster chapter of Canadian Parents for French, said in a press release. “But we have sourced out several amazing businesses, such as Kidsbooks, French Usborne Books, Savoir Books, Word Nerd Language and Education Ltd. and L’École des Loisirs, offering quality book subscriptions from France, who are bringing tons of French books and other various stock for all ages.” The event will also feature artists displaying photography from France, garden jewels and locally made French greeting cards. The local Van Dop Art Gallery is also showcasing work from some French-Canadian artists. Clarkson said there will also be some surprises, including accordion folk dance music from France and

Quebec performed by Marian Rose. Foodies will also get a chance to enjoy delicious crêpes and maple treats. The Francophone Scouts will also be hosting a children’s activity and craft area, while French immersion students will be conducting story time for the younger children. The free event is usually attended by a wide variety of people, including French students, French immersion classes, parents, teachers, librarians and the general public, including people from the Fraser Valley and Washington State. Canadian Parents for French is a national network dedicated to the promotion and creation of French second-language learning opportunities for young Canadians. For more info, go to www.cpf.bc.ca.

society is welcoming Terry Julian to the meeting. Local author Terry Julian has written a wonderful book on the story of Sir John A. Macdonald, first prime minister of Canada – a figure powerfully linked to the formation and early development of this country. The book, An Ordinary Miracle: John A Macdonald, chronicles his life including a visit to the Royal City. This biography, published in 2010, notes “much that is generally unknown in John A Macdonald’s heroic life is revealed and shows an energetic and visionary person in whom every Canadian should be knowledgeable.” Julian has written a number of books, with one on New Westminster’s loss of the capital city status, A Capital Controversy, being a favourite local history publication. The program is free and everyone is welcome. There is no need to preregister.

Ready, set, shred

The New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society is getting set to host its second annual shredathon. New Westminster residents and businesses are invited to bring old paperwork to the shredathon and have it shredded onsite by a company that specializes in paper shredding. The event is being held on Saturday, May 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Canada Games Pool

parking lot “Everything is 100 per cent by donation,” said firefighter Glen Bailey, president of the New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society. “Everything goes back to the charitable society.” The event is being hosted by the New Westminster Firefighters Charitable Society and supported by BCAA and G&F Financial. The charitable society raises funds that allow it to support various programs in the community, including the Union Gospel Mission, food programs in local schools and New Westminster Family Place. “It is open to businesses, it is open to residents. If you have paper that needs to be shredded, bring it on by,” Bailey said. “They will have a truck on site. They will take your paper and shred it immediately.” The charitable society requests that people bringing large amounts of paper to the shredathon bring it in a recyclable box. “Last year we raised about $4,000,” Bailey said. “We are hoping to raise more than that this year.” Tax receipts are available for donations of $25 and over. Cash and cheques are accepted. Bailey notes that it can be costly to have paper shredded professionally so the event is a good opportunity to save money and help a good cause.

Studio vibe: Pastor Rich Kao at the new Five Stones Church, situated in a remodelled Victorian warehouse. The church will soon double as an occasional art gallery, thanks to a partnership with the Arts Council of New Westminster.

Larry Wright/ THE RECORD

Church to showcase local art BY ANDREW FLEMING REPORTER afleming@royalcityrecord.com

A local independent church has found both a new home and a possible new sideline. Five Stones Church first began offering services at Douglas College six years ago after a pastor named Rich Kao moved here with his family from Minnesota. It has since relocated to an old warehouse at 612 Columbia St. that will soon be pulling double duty as an art gallery. “It’s a Victorian warehouse, and we’ve renovated it and upgraded it,” said Kao. “Through a series of circumstances, we had some people from the arts council come into our facilities. They just said, you know what, this would make for a really neat satellite art gallery.” It wasn’t all that long ago that the only visitors the seemingly forgotten building probably saw were pigeons, spiders or rats, but the beautifully renovated site, affectionately known as “612” for its street address, is poised to become a bit of a hot-

spot for church goers and art lovers alike. “You could take two steps out of Starbucks and literally walk right past the front door, but once you get inside the church facility, it’s been totally remodelled, and it has this kind of historic feel. We’ve got this very unique building to serve the spiritual needs of the city, but as well we have a vision to be a community church and to build up the whole feeling within New Westminster, so the connection with the arts council is a really fun deal for us.” The new arrangement happened by chance after the Downtown Business Improvement Association invited a group of Quayside residents on a tour of Columbia Street. “From that tour, all we heard from people who went on that tour was, ‘Holy hell, did you hear about the Five Stones Church? You should see this church!’ It was just a buzz of all buzzes,” said Paul Thompson, a director with the Arts Council of New Westminster. “There’s just certain groups and certain

people that just click.

If you love Friday Night Lights at Mercer Stadium each autumn, then maybe you can reach into your wallet and help with fundraising for the New Westminster Hyacks football team. Head coach Farhan Lalji is trying to send his squad to southern California this August for a week of games and training. “With a program as economically diverse as ours, not all of our players’ families can afford an extended international trip such as this,” said Lalji. “We are asking for your support to help these families.” Lalji is looking for

people who can make a minimum donation of $25. Donations of $100 or more will come with a tax receipt for income tax purposes. To contribute, you can write a cheque to NWSS, 835 Eighth St., New Westminster, V3M 3S9, Attn: Farhan Lalji or pay online at www.hyackfoot ball.com and follow the link to the PayPal section. Or, to receive a tax receipt for a donation of $100 or more, write a cheque to the Royal City Education Foundation and mail it to the same address at the high school. “This trip to California will give our team the opportunity to compete against one of the best high school football teams in the U.S. and have an overall experience that will last a lifetime,” said Lalji.

ands up, anyone who caught themselves humming “Never met a man I didn’t like” while they were getting ready for work on Monday morning. Yup, thought so.

For those who haven’t yet seen it, Royal City Musical Theatre has once again come up with a winner. I caught the show in preview on Friday evening and, like the rest of the audience, was engaged from the first moment.

Winter club wonderland in Winnipeg Last Western title was in 2007, also in Winnipeg BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Next year’s Burnaby Winter Club AAA bantam just couldn’t wait for 2012 to get it done. The winter club Bruins, with six first-year players in its lineup, upset the Manitoba champion Winnipeg Hawks 3-2 in overtime en route to a third Western Canada bantam hockey championship in Winnipeg on Sunday. Second-year forward Victor Dombrovskiy scored the game-winner with his first goal of the Western championships six minutes into overtime. “I knew when I picked this team, I thought this team was pretty special,” said John Batchelor, who earned his third Western title as head coach of the winter club. “They had the character, they had the attitude and they didn’t disappoint.” Winnipeg held a 2-1 lead heading into the third period after Burnaby’s Justin Szeto had opened the scoring in the first minute of play in the goldmedal final. First team all-star Matthew Barzal tied the game midway through the final frame on assists by Dombrovskiy and Szeto. Barzal was also named the top forward in the tournament. Dombrovskiy and winter club goalie Nicholas McBride were also named to the all-tournament first team. The Western banner was the third in 10 seasons

The Canada Way club won previous Western Canada titles in 2002 and 2007. “It’s wonderful to win a Western, but those two were expected to be there,” Batchelor said of the two previous winning teams. “This team was not expected to be there, even by people at the club. The kids wanted their names on a white banner.” Batchelor said the turning point for the team ocurred well before they qualified for Winnipeg. Losing twice to the

Local wrestlers medal at junior nationals BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Burnaby South Secondary’s Melvin Arciaga won the boys’ 50-kilogram wrestling title at the Canadian national cadet championships in Windsor, Ont. Saturday. Arciaga, fighting out of the Raw wrestling academy in Vancouver, defeated Matthew Dignan of Abbotsford 7-2 in the championship final match. Arciaga, this year’s provincial high school champion, won five straight matches, including two bouts by pins, to earn the gold

medal at the nationals. Schoolmate Andrew Warren won a bronze medal in the cadet boys’ 66kg division. Warren lost his opening bout on a technical decision to eventual national champ Caleb Rutner of WWC.

Burnaby Central heavyweight Amar Dhesi won gold in the cadet boys’ 100kg weight class. Dhesi beat four other oppo-

nents in a round-robin wrestleoff. Dhesi blanked three of his opponents, winning all three by technical decision. His bout with Ron Liena of Black Bear was stopped because of injury. Another Central grappler, Saheel Khan, was a runner-up in the national juvenile championships, winning a silver medal at 100kg. Khan lost 2-0 to gold-medal winner Aaron Misner of the Jr. Marauders club in the juvenile men’s final in Windsor on Friday. Khan defeated Lewis Biamonte of Edmonton 2-1 in the semifinal

and Stewart Kyle of Team Impact 4-1 in the quarter-finals. St. Thomas More Collegiate’s Clarisse Dos Santos placed in the top six at the cadet girls’ nationals.
