Mouths will be watering in New Westminster on Aug. 10 – that’s the day even the most discriminating foodies will be sure to find something to tickle their taste buds at the inaugural Columbia StrEAT food truck festival. At least 15 food trucks, as well as a beer garden and live entertainment will be featured in the street fair presented by the City of New Westminster, real estate developers Trapp + Holbrook and the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area. “It’s time Downtown New West joined the culinary convoy and Columbia Street makes an ideal venue,” said Kendra Johnston, executive director of the business improvement association, in a recent press release. “With two SkyTrain stations, great pubs and ample street space, we’ll be able to accommodate thousands of festival-goers.”

In anticipation of the event, Trish Bell, owner and operator of Casalinga Carts in Burnaby, is planning her menu and says her company’s signature meat sandwich is bound to be a crowd-pleaser. “It’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever tried in your life, it’s so good,” she said of the Italian Stallion sandwich. “It’s a large French roll topped with homemade Caesar dressing on both sides, and then we put four-cheese spread on both sides of

the bun, and then layer on one side pulled pork that we cook overnight with chicken broth till it falls apart. We layer that on top and then we do spicy capicola, we do Calabrese salami, and we do a spicy salami and a Genovese salami, and then we layer that with caramelized onions, and then we put sliced green olives, and then we garlic butter both sides and put a weight on it on the grill so it’s really crispy and delicious. So you’ve got the salty of the olives, the

sweet of the onions, the spiciness of the capicola, the oozing cheese and the garlic butter, and it’s pretty crazy.” For the past 20 years, Bell has been sharing her passion for food with the Lower Mainland community, serving up hot lunches and ready made meals to customers ranging from the Holiday Inn Metrotown Vancouver to film and TV ◗Eats Page 3

District ends year with shortfall of $4.4 million BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

It was a sobering affair at Tuesday’s board of education meeting. Secretary-treasurer Al Balanuik presented the board with the final budget numbers to be submitted to the Ministry of Education. While, as previously reported in The

Record, the board was able to approve a balanced operating budget by cutting about 60 positions, the school district will still finish the year with a deficit of about $1.6 million. This, in addition to the almost $2.8 million deficit carried forward from last year, brings the district’s total shortfall to more than $4.4 million, according to the report Balanuik presented to trustees. “This year marks the end of spending

beyond our means,” he told the board. “Next year marks a return to spending within our means, and the first step toward repaying what we owe the provincial government.” Balanuik said as of right now the district is projecting a “slim” surplus in next year’s budget of about $20,000, which will immediately be put towards the district’s debt to the provincial government.

City not ditching new dock plan – yet BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster has no immediate plans to undertake dock improvements on the waterfront but isn’t ditching the concept forever. Several years ago, the city negotiated gaming funding, known as development assistance compensation, which provided $5 million for parkland improvements in Queensborough, $35 million for a multiuse civic facility in the downtown, $6.2 million for expansion of facility at Queensborough Community Centre, $4 million for riverfront dock and facility improvements and $10 million for a Queensborough/waterfront pedestrian bridge. Last year, the city received approval to reallocate $8 million from the pedestrian crossing and dock improvement projects to

the Anvil Centre project. The city has since dropped plans for dock repairs in front of Fraser River Discovery Centre so $6.2 million is now available for the crossing. Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative office, said the city wouldn’t be able to proceed with a pedestrian crossing between the Quay and Queensborough, without the DAC funds, but believes there may be other opportunities to help fund dock improvements on the waterfront. Earlier this year, members of city council questioned Port Metro Vancouver officials about a marina on New Westminster’s waterfront. “They said they had some grant funding. We are still following up on that,” Spitale said. “We haven’t lost that.” Spitale stressed that public consultation would be an important part of any plans for a marina on the waterfront.

“We still want to look at what the port authority’s grant program would provide in the way of marine or maritime activity and proceed from there,” she said. “We then want to go out into the community. When we think we have got some grant opportunities, we will go out into the community and get their feedback. I know in the past there has been concern from residents in the downtown about certain marinas and temporary moorages, looking at other issues like security. If we find there is funding there from the port authority, and we start getting a sense of what they will fund and what they won’t fund, and what the community needs are, that will be part of the consultation process.” When Port Metro Vancouver officials attended a city council meeting earlier this year to discuss a coal proposal on its Fraser Surrey Docks property, council members

inquired about its previous plan to help fund a marina near the Quay. In 2003, the port authority approached the city about building a 30-metre (100 foot) long marina on city-owned property on the waterfront, providing a place where boats could dock during the day. City council unanimously rejected the plan after Quayside residents voiced concerns about the dock being close to their homes, and about the potential noise, air pollution and nuisance concerns it could create. Tom Corsie, Port Metro Vancouver’s vice president of real estate, told council in February that the port authority was willing to invest about $100,000 in the project and was surprised at the community backlash. He said Port Metro Vancouver would be wiling to discuss the potential for a dock facility.

production companies, and hundreds of people walking in off the street each week. Casalinga – Italian for “homemade” – serves comfort foods like sandwiches, pastas, burgers, soups and salads made from scratch, with no preservatives or additives. Besides the Italian Stallion, the other most popular menu item is the company’s signature butter chicken poutine. “We get lineups and we sell out every week,” said Bell. “We started with four kilos a week of butter chicken poutine, and then we had to go up to eight kilos, and we can’t keep it here.” As of October, Casalinga expanded to include the company’s food cart that is regularly parked at the information booth in Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver. Bell said she wouldn’t want to rely solely on the food cart to make a living, but the addition to her business has proven to be a success in its own right this spring, and she is anticipating a good return on her investment this summer, especially at festivals and events. Parking a food truck or cart in a high-traffic area is what will make or break sales for the day, she says. The best spots are high-traffic pedestrian areas like urban shopping hubs or in front of high schools, and, of course, having dry weather makes a big difference. But the most important element is always the product. “You really have to have good quality food or people just won’t come back,” Bell said. With 6,200 pulled pork sliders sold at the recent Eat Vancouver food show at B.C. Place, Casalinga evidently has at least a few winners on its menu, and Bell said she is excited to offer these in New Westminster. Bell said she is especially looking forward to the food truck festival and is excited to see what other vendors will be offering. “You know, people eat the same thing all the time, and when they eat at a food truck, (the owners) tend to put a twist on things that most normal restaurants wouldn’t do,” she said. “It’s just really creative. So, food being creative and fun and tasting delicious, it’s like a party.” Besides Casalinga Carts, other food trucks confirmed

Trustees approve new gender policy BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster school district became the 24th district in the province to develop a policy addressing sexual orientation and gender equity after trustees approved the policy at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting. “I’m proud and excited to be here tonight to present this policy,” superintendent John Woudzia told trustees. The draft policy, which was first approved back in May of 2012, has been circulating in the education community and stakeholder groups for about a year, according to Woudzia.

Feedback and comments were received from a number of groups, including the Royal City Pride Society, Fraser Health and social justice and gender studies classes at New Westminster Secondary. Some of the groups provided suggestions to improve the policy, and senior management did its best to include as many of these suggestions as possible, Woudzia said. Additions to the policy included outlining clear consequences and enforcement of these consequences as well as definitions for heterosexual, cisgender, referring to an individual whose perception of their gender matches the sex they were assigned at birth; cissexual, referring to individuals who aren’t transsexual and

Food service still in negotiations

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster hasn’t sealed the deal on a food provider for Westminster Pier Park. Earlier this year, the city issued an expression of interest for a food service operator at Westminster Pier Park. “We are in negotiations with an operator that has an interest in the site,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks, culture and recreation. “We are trying to move through that as quickly as we can.” Because the city is in the early stages of negotiations, it’s unlikely that an operator will be able to run at 100 per cent capacity this summer. “The building is a shell,” Gibson said.

“None of the tenant improvements have been made.” Although the space will have to be outfitted with equipment fixtures and furnishings before the space is operational, Gibson said the city is hopeful that some type of food services will be provided on a temporary basis at the park. A city document included in the expression of interest stated the city may give preference to respondents who contemplate year-round operations. While the city would not exclude proposals for seasonal operations at the Westminster Pier Park site, the city asked that respondents included an assessment about the seasonal versus year-round nature of operations at the waterfront venues. The park opened in June 2012.

have only experienced their “mental and physical sexes as being aligned.” “I’m absolutely glad we’re doing this,” said trustee Jonina Campbell during the meeting. Trustee MaryAnn Mortensen echoed Campbell’s sentiments and said she was happy to see such an extensive consultation process. “This speaks to the inclusion and equity we want in our community,” she added. The sexual orientation and gender equity policy aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for all staff and students “regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.” Trustees agreed this policy is a step

towards acceptance rather than tolerance. “The real test will come from being able to change the culture,” Campbell said. “The strength that it takes kids … to be themselves, and it’s our responsibility to provide a safe and caring environment where they can thrive.” The implementation of this policy will begin in September, when a district advisory committee is established. This committee will discuss how the policy will be introduced in schools, Woudzia said. A copy of the draft policy can be viewed online at district.sd40.bc.ca/boardeducation/board-meetings by selecting the link for the June 25 meeting agenda.

Perhaps most importantly, it’s deceitful. Only one-third of the money collected from the parking lots at Fraser Health hospitals actually goes to maintaining the parking structure. Of the $14 million in parking fees collected in the past year by Fraser Health

(about $19 million the year before), more than $8 million goes into the health authority’s operating budget. That $8 million is actually hidden user fees – and in an honest environment, would be openly recognized as such. Or it should be openly acknowledged as a part of the provincial tax structure. It’s a drop in the bucket of the province’s multi-billion-dollar health-care budget. But it means a lot to people who just want to pay a supportive visit.

MY OPINION

Some staff are more entitled Dear Editor:

It’s welcome news that the premier has rescinded the large pay increases for political staff appointed by individual cabinet ministers. It’s a smart move considering the public outrage it generated and the likelihood of it carrying over into the WestsideKelowna by-election. Unfortunately, Christy Clark is exempting one of her own staff members from the salary reversal. She intends to pay her former assistant campaign director, Michele Cadario, a whopping $175,000 as deputy chief of staff. The justification offered is that Cadario will be doing two jobs instead of just one. It’s not very believable. The fact of the matter is that the controversial attempt to reward ministerial aides for political (as opposed to public) service has its origins in a

firmly entrenched culture of entitlement within the Liberal government. Moreover, Clark’s decision with respect to her personal political appointee suggests she believes some have a greater entitlement than others. Bill Brassington, via email

Chance for a change Dear Editor:

To the victor goes the spoils, cheered New York Senator William Marcy on news of Andrew Jackson election victory in 1828. Marcy wasn’t kidding. After Jackson assumed power, close to 10 per cent of government officials were replaced with candidates loyal to the new president. Yet, despite Senator Marcy’s zeal, there’s still something to be said for magnanimity in victory. A point particularly true in B.C., where a single political formation (in one incarnation or another) has governed the province for nearly five of the last six decades. A streak to which the B.C. Liberal party will now tack on four more years. Because of this lopsided advantage, the real test facing Premier Christy Clark shouldn’t be over how she divvies up the goodies, but instead how she rises above that time-honoured practice to exhibit the political leadership required for the greater good of the province – the same leadership Clark showed when she established the office of the auditor general for local government in the face of considerable reticence from some of those same local governments. Recently, Premier Clark presented her new cabinet. As is customary, ministers received their marching orders. There are the obvious “to do” tasks: LNG plants, 10-year labour deals with the BCTF, and replacing the Massey Tunnel. But in the wake of the election, Premier Clark is also in a position to cherry-pick some of the very best ideas from other parties and cherry-pick she should. According to an Ipsos Reid exit poll of 1,400 British Columbians, the top issue for voters was open and honest government. The fourth issue was trust in a particu-

lar leader or party. The Liberals lost those voters by five per cent. It’s easy for political operatives to sweep such inconvenient truths under the rug when they’ve just pulled off a miracle, but Liberals do need to take note: they’ve lost the trust of a significant block of voters. One of the contributing factors to that distrust is a lack of transparency and accountability in government, which is why it’s never too late to say “we get it,” particularly on those issues that go to the heart of how government functions and how our democratic system operates. Fixing B.C.’s democratic deficit starts with restoring the true role of MLAs. British Columbians need to know they have a voice in Victoria on the issues that affect them in their daily lives. Yet, MLAs can rarely speak up for those who elected them if their words run counter to their party’s position. There are no free votes in the legislature. According to journalist Sean Holman, from May 2001 to April 2012, 99.75 per cent of all the votes cast in the legislature toed the party line. Taxpayers have a right not just to know the numbers behind the province’s finances, but to have the straight goods on what those numbers will mean in the way of taxes, rate increases and tolls as well. A government that truly wants to be open doesn’t respond to access to information requests with answers that are too cute by half. What has become known as “oral government” needs to be consigned to the trash bin of bad ideas. While their reports may sting, public watchdogs need to have some bite, which is why their roles need to be respected and offices given the necessary budgets. Whistleblower protection for public sector employees is long overdue in B.C. And then there’s electoral finance reform. It’s time to cleanse B.C. politics of what one political observer called “the sewer scents,” by finally banning corporate and union donations to parties. B.C. has been on the cutting edge of democratic reforms in the past. There’s no reason it can’t continue on this path. Dermod Travis, executive director, IntegrityBC

Country: Now subjugating land ◗ continued from page 6

And they had acquired, over the previous decades of colonization of other distant lands and people, a knack for subjugating natives, plus a willingness to exercise judgment on their behalf. They were skills that came in handy – and we should all be proud of our most effective skills. We haven’t lost those skills through the generations. Now, instead of sub-

jugating new peoples, we use those self-same skills to subjugate the land, and to exercise our judgment on its behalf – to harvest energy the way our ancestors harvested cultures. And to similar effect. The northern-most portions of the country – where much of our energetic pride is emerging – were actually given to us by Norway, whose explorers “discovered” the polar regions and decided they

Metro Van wants Budget: Better decision-making incinerator input ◗ continued from page 1

A proposed waste-to-energy facility is back on the front burner at Metro Vancouver. Metro Vancouver wrote to city council stating it’s preparing to start the process of identifying a site for a “new waste-to-energy capacity procurement process” for the region, and is seeking input for the criteria it will use to evaluate potential sites. The criteria includes site size, air quality implications, land uses, transportation logistics and impacts, suitability for district energy and cost. Mayor Wayne Wright told council recently that the issue is one of the most difficult for the region, as there are two sides to the story, with economic needs on one side and social considerations on the other. “I don’t know where we are going to stand as a city,” he said. According to Metro Vancouver, after achieving its waste diversion goal of 70 per cent in 2015 and aiming for 80 per cent by 2020, the region will have about 700,000 tonnes of waste that needs to be managed. The City of New Westminster will forward information to Metro Vancouver that it has collected about waste-toenergy facilities in the past. Several members of council visited a waste-to-energy facility in Osaka, Japan during a trip to visit New Westminster’s sister cities in October 2009, Coun. Bill Harper toured a facility in Tokyo while vacationing in Japan, and senior staffer Lisa Spitale visited a waste-to-energy facility in England while vacationing there a few years ago. Wherever a facility is built, Coun. Betty McIntosh wants design to be considered to ensure it isn’t unsightly. Harper said council needs more information about the impacts of a waste-to-energy facility, such as siting within urban centres and truck traffic. Eugene Wat, the city’s manager of infrastructure planning, said “there is a whole matrix of potential siting and technology” that would be considered before a decision is made about a waste-to-energy facility. The former Canfor site in the Braid industrial area had been suggested as a potential site for a facility. – Theresa McManus

this model by hiring Sheldon Lee, a certified management accountant, as its director of finance. New Westminster will share Lee’s services with school districts in the Central Coast and West Vancouver Island. “I’ve captured only a few of the most salient items,” Balanuik said of the other measures to improve the district’s financial situation, which included monthly reports, more timely invoice processing and a planned consultation process. “For the first time, we’re actually getting an accurate assessment of where our spending goes and is coming from,” said trustee Lisa Graham of the final budget report presented to the board. The other trustees agreed this will help them make better decisions in the

future. “(We will) continue forward this way and be as transparent as possible to show parents we’re doing our best now,” said trustee MaryAnn Mortensen. While trustees at Tuesday night’s meeting admitted they were partially to blame for the budget problems the district is now facing, they said some of the blame needs to be placed on the provincial government for its inability to provide adequate funding to school districts across the province. “The 60 positions we cut, they weren’t doing nothing,” said trustee James Janzen. “The cost pressures, CPP, municipal pension plans, teacher pension plans, benefit increases, all of that is just an indicator to me that the funding we receive is inadequate.”

City’s Fraser River centre wades into pipeline debate BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The Fraser River Discover Centre is calling on Kinder Morgan to protect the Fraser River. The New Westminster based society is calling on Kinder Morgan to ensure the Fraser River is protected if it proceeds with a new route for its oil pipeline that brings it closer to the river. According to the Fraser River Discovery Centre, the new potential route option for the oil pipeline unveiled by Kinder Morgan on June 21 would see it divert from the existing route to avoid built-up areas – but would bring the pipeline closer to the Fraser River in the process. “As the voice of the Fraser River, we believe everything must be done to protect the river before that route could be approved,” said Discovery Centre executive director Catherine Ouellet-Martin in a press release. “Anything that potentially impacts the environmental, economic or social future of the Fraser River is something we would be gravely concerned about.” Fraser River Discovery Centre has also offered its New Westminster facility as a

site for potential public consultation and discussion on the part of the proposed pipeline closest to the river. “One of our roles is as a public convener on all issues and activities related to the Fraser River,” Ouellet-Martin added. “We would welcome an opportunity to host Kinder Morgan and all those interested in this pipeline route to have a fact-based discussion regarding the potential benefits and impacts.” Kinder Morgan is seeking to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs between British Columbia and Alberta. The proposed expansion would allow the company to increase its capacity from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day. While much of the pipeline would follow the existing route, some changes are being planned. Kinder Morgan released its proposed route plans for Surrey and Langley last week. Fraser River Discovery Centre is an interpretive centre that seeks to connect communities in the discovery and celebration of the living, working Fraser River. Discovery Centre is located at 788 Quayside Dr. and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the summer.

Douglas’ Zambia program wins award AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

Douglas College leadership program that sends students to work for non-profit organizations in Zambia has won a provincial award of achievement in international education. The Zambia Global Leadership Program received the British Columbia Council for International Education’s Outstanding Program in International Education award. The program recognizes the professionalism, dedication and efforts of an exemplary group of experts and practitioners in international education in B.C. “This is a huge honour for the Zambia team,” said Kyle Baillie, director of the Centre for Campus Life and Athletics. “It verifies what we’ve been

saying about this program all along: it is innovative, student-focused and an engagement experience paralleled by few others in British Columbia.” For the past three years, the Zambia Global Leadership Program has sent Douglas College students to Zambia on threemonth volunteer work placements at non-profits in the fields of health, education, business, sport, youth leadership, government and other social services. Students are placed with agencies whose activities tie in with their area of study. “This level of engagement and interest fosters meaningful cultural exchanges, and helps the students become global citizens,” said Anna Schachner, Campus Life Coordinator, who went to Zambia this year and last. “They become more involved in both local and international issues. Some of them have even been offered full-time jobs back in Africa.” For more information, visit douglascollege.ca

Raccoons making a nest in New West BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster may be on its way to becoming the Brooklyn of Vancouver and it appears to be attracting families of all types, even the furry kind. A mother raccoon and her five offspring have moved into the backyard of a home along Fourth Street. Darren Cardinal said the raccoons are living in a large bush at the back of his Queen’s Park property. According to Yolanda Brooks of the Wildlife Rescue Association in Burnaby, raccoons typically have litters of two to five young, also known as kits. “I have a female raccoon that lives in a cedar tree at the back of my garden who has produced five-strong litters for the past three or four years. We’ve also seen a female around the grounds of the (rescue) who seems to produce two kits a year,” she said. Brooks added it’s common to see raccoon families nesting in the Lower Mainland this time of year and that they usually prefer areas with lots of trees and bushes. “The mother lives up high in the trees with the kits because it is safer and as they get bigger she will take them out for trips to explore and find food,” she said. “By the end of the fall the offspring will be quite big, will be able to fend for themselves and will leave the area to find their own territory.” For those hoping to catch a glimpse of a family of bandits, Brooks recommends keeping an eye out for them around dusk or dawn and during the night, but added people should not feed the creatures as this could encourage them to stick around after nesting season. “There is plenty of food around for them and raccoons are extremely intelligent omnivores, so they won’t go hungry. They eat everything from worms, birds eggs and frogs to nuts, small mammals and fruit,” she said. As a precaution, Brooks said it’s a good idea to keep garbage cans secure. For more information, visit www.wildliferescue.ca.

Canadian reads for kids

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

As Canada Day approaches, consider celebrating by reading Canadian. Many of us are familiar with Canadian books written for adults but there are also some wonderful children’s books by Canadian authors, and not just Anne of Green Gables. A popular series for young children are the Franklin books. Paulette Bourgeois, the author of the little turtle’s adventures, was born in Winnipeg and now lives in Toronto. You can also read Franklin’s adventures in French (look for the Benjamin books). Other Canadian authors of great books for young children include, Marie-Louise Gay, Stella; Melanie Watt, Scaredy Squirrel; and Jon Klassen, I Want My Hat Back. Don’t forget that the famous, fantastic Robert Munsch is also a Canadian citizen. For school-aged kids, try Kit Pearson, The Whole Truth;

LOCAL RESOURCE OF INFORMATION & IDEAS FOR TODAY’S BUSY FAMILIES

How to choose the right Preschool Choosing the right preschool for your child is a very important process. Ellen James and Laura Miks are the founders of Advantage Preschool and have been teaching there for almost 30 years. Together they offer some helpful information on what to look for in quality childcare. Ellen James suggests that parents take the time to research their options before making a ﬁnal decision. Don’t be afraid to ask friends, neighbors or even the local elementary schools for recommendations. “Referrals are our best form of advertising”, says James. “New parents are interested in the quality of the programs, how attentive the teachers are and how successfully their child will eventually transition into kindergarten”. Laura Miks suggests that parents take the time to observe several preschools during session times. This gives the parents an opportunity to meet the teachers personally, see ﬁrst hand how they interact with the children and observe the dynamics of the classroom. They can ask themselves: “Does the equipment look safe and in good condition? Does

the environment seem to encourage each child to explore and discover? Do the kids seem calm, socially engaged and challenged?” Parents should take a cautionary note if the toys are in a state of disrepair, if there is a chaotic feel to the classroom or if classtime visits are discouraged. Many preschools emphasize the academic component of their program but at Advantage Preschool, the teachers emphasize that free play is an essential part of a balanced, child centered curriculum. Ellen and Laura agree that play is a fundamental activity in a child’s growth and development. It is a prerequisite for learning and is one of the predictors of later school success. Through play, children learn their way and create their own community. They connect their inside and outside worlds as they interpret their own unique experiences and sense of self. During free play time, parents should observe a vibrant community of children playing, leaning and having fun.. The students should be self directed but looking to the teachers for guidance when needed. Ellen and Laura both suggest that parents look for a daily schedule that balances free play with more structured activities. The schedule however, should not be “written in stone” but allow for ﬂexibility and include an opportunity for the students to be involved in their own learning.

Advantage Preschool supports an “emergent curriculum” which is a plan for learning based on the collaborative interests and passions of the teachers and students. Using observation, documentation and conversation the teachers are able to follow the children’s lead to provide a curriculum that is socially engaging, intellectually stimulating and personally meaningful to all. For more information please visit www.advantagepreschool.ca Ellen and Laura welcome comments and questions regarding preschool education and speciﬁc concerns about child development.

Dominion Day party travelled by boat OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

ne hundred and forty years ago, in 1873, local communities were looking forward to a special day or two to mark Dominion Day (for Canada) and Independence Day (for the USA). Due to the very mixed population of the day, there were often separate celebrations that frequently became a four-day period of festivities. In 1873, the citizens of New Westminster had become aware of some big plans at Burrard Inlet. “Our friends at the Inlet are going to celebrate Dominion Day and Independence Day in grand style. The former will be celebrated at Hastings Mill and the latter at Moodyville … the programmes are out for

each celebration … a good time is expected in each case.” Since there were no special activities planned in the Royal City, an excursion was planned: “Probable excursion – a number of our citizens signed a request to Captain John Irving to take a large number of holiday seekers to Burrard Inlet on Tuesday next (Dominion Day).” Captain John Irving thoroughly enjoyed a good time and he obviously agreed to the proposal. “The Onward left her wharf yesterday morning at 6 o’clock with a large party of ladies and gentlemen with a full accompaniment of little ones. There was a good band on board.” As might happen today, the vessel with music and a happy crowd sailed down the North Arm of the Fraser River, around Point Grey, and what would become Stanley Park, and through First Narrows to Burrard Inlet to visit the site of the festivities, games, sports, entertainment, food and

Making all the right decisions

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Climbing the ranks of international officialdom can be a bit like snakes and ladders at times, but so far for Burnaby’s Megan Robertson it’s been a steady climb. The 31-year-old umpire earned the International Field Hockey badge – the first stage of a five-step ladder to world panel status – last year at the Pan American junior championships in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since then, Robertson earned a hockey federation appointment as a women’s umpire at the South American championships in Santiago, Chile in January. In September, the Simon Fraser University grad student will be off to Argentina for her biggest assignment yet – the Pan Am Cup – a qualifying tournament for the upcoming World Cup. Although Robertson umpired her first international six years earlier, it’s all about being at the right venue at the right time in order to receive the official scrutiny, she said. Getting the plum appointments is one thing, but because of a lack of funding and the relatively low profile of field hockey in Canada, getting to the venues is on the official’s own dime. “It’s the experience of it – of being on the field, of having that experience,” said Robertson, who only began officiating at a national level a decade ago. “I imagine it’s what an athlete feels – you’re in a zone, things are going well, you’re working with a colleague. There’s nothing like it.” Robertson graduated from Burnaby South Secondary School in 2000 and then went to the University of British Columbia, where the perennial collegiate national champion women’s field hockey reigned. Although Robertson never played for the 13-time champions, she has been a faithful supporter and player with the Burnaby Lake club for the past 15 seasons.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Green card: Megan Robertson is climbing the ranks of Canada’s accomplished international umpires. Robertson also mentors young umpires, enjoying the thrill of seeing the emotion they gain from the experience. She took up umpiring on the encouragement of her mother, Sue Robertson, a recent winner of a

President’s service award for field hockey from Sports B.C. “It felt like a lot of little steps, working my way to that level” Robertson said of her rise up the ranks. She remembers her first inter-

national assignment well. It was at UBC during an international friendly between Canada and Chile. One of her best friends and the most capped player in Canadian history, Stephanie Jamieson, was playing for the women’s national team. “I had to give her a yellow card. It was the flow of the game, I just knew it was going to result in a yellow card. It was my first time carding,” said Robertson. “She was nice enough to sign that yellow card. It was one of my favourite moments in international hockey.” In her desire to achieve a higher status, Robertson makes a study of how other officials are managing their assignments. She looks for those sublteties in the care and concern about what they are trying to do. At present, the World League Round 3 in Rotterdam, Netherlands is occupying her interest. “The two onfield umpires are a team out there. What I really love about umpiring is that team experience,” Robertson said. “When it’s going well, that trust you have, you can feel it. It doesn’t matter whether you make a mistake, you know you will get the decision right.” With the official’s emphasis on safety and showcasing the players’ skills, umpires always have a game plan as to how best to manage things on the field. It is that communication and understanding between officials that has, as much as anything, brought Robertson to her present world standing. A fond memory is working with colleague Gillian Horgan from Vancouver Island, another federation badge recipient who has officiated at the Commonwealth Games. Another highlight was the semifinal game in Mexico between Argentiina and the United States she umpired with New Zealand’s

Juniors pull out all stops with deadline trade BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies added the top two scorers in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League to its already productive lineup. The junior A ’Bellies dealt Jake Carey and newcomer Ryan Vogrig to the Delta Islanders for the playing rights to Eli McLaughlin and league scoring leader Cody Nass for at least the remainder of the 2013 season and playoffs. McLaughlin, a 19-year-old lefthander, currently leads the league in goal scoring with 52

goals in 18 games and a blistering 38.24 shot percentage. Nass, an under-age first-year, 6-1 righty, leads all junior A shooters with 37 goals and 101 total points so far this season. “We have to win our way in (to the Minto Cup),” said New Westminster head coach Dan Perreault, regarding the opportunity to add two key players, particularly a much needed righthander, to the lineup. “We’re pretty excited to add players like that and to have the depth now.” McLaughlin also has a connection to the Royal City, hav-

ing attended high school in New Westminster. Carey played in 10 games for the New West club this season but has not registered a point. Vogrig has three goals and eight assists in seven appearances with the ’Bellies. “The deal adds depth to our team and allows us an extra push as we will soon enter the playoffs ready to compete for the western championships and a berth into the 2013 Minto Cup right here in our own building, Queen’s Park Arena,” Salmonbellies general manager Doug Zack stated in a club press release.

McLaughlin leads all shooters on special teams with 17 goals on the extra man. He also has eight counters while shorthanded and has registered nine hat tricks so far this summer. Since last season, McLaughlin has tallied 98 goals in the regular season and playoffs with the Islanders, as well as 17 more in two seasons as a callup. New Westminster is currently on a nine-game win streak and leads the league with 221 goals and in power-play goals scored, with 49. The junior A trade deadline is Sunday, June 30.

Hyacks look to recruit at 3D tourney BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

As many as six New Westminster Hyacks high school lacrosse players got a good look at the recent 3D Lacrosse Denver Shootout in Denver, Colorado earlier this month. The Hyacks played five games in the Rising Red division, losing to the eventual winner East Coast in the quarter-finals on June 16 of the three-day competition. A half-dozen Hyacks got serious looks from college scouts, including Grade 11s attack/midfield Mitchell Stokes, long pole Tommy Robertson and 2014 all-star middie Shawn Fitzsimmons and junior attack Dalton Lupul and midfield Nathan Macedo. “The competition level is very high,” New Westminster coach Ken Bowman said of the mostly all-star American teams. “Considering we were 2-3, it was very good.” New West lost its final game of the tournament to a team from Boise, Idaho by a slim 7-6 margin. “I think it was great for them to experience this. It makes them realize how hard they have to work if they want to play past high school,” Bowman added.

NLL to LEC

Inside Lacrosse reported Thursday the Langley Events Centre will be the new home of professional lacrosse in British Columbia. The National Lacrosse League board of governors unanimously approved the relocation of the Stealth franchise from its previous home in Everett, Washington to the Metro Vancouver area effective immediately. The team will be known as the Vancouver Stealth and will begin play at the events centre in the 2014 NLL season. The Stealth have been one of the most successful franchises in the nine-team league, having reached the ◗Lacrosse Page 24

Amber Church, a promising official who is on the watchlist for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. “Learning from her, and just the feeling of being on the field and everything just fell into place that night. It was a good night,” Robertson said. “Watching Argentina, you’re in awe. These young women are so talented. But to think, ‘I can do this. I belong here and I can be a part of this game,’ is what makes that moment magical for an umpire.” The upcoming World Cup qualifier is Robertson’s next big test. To take that step, she must once again make that, at times difficult, choice between school and work that has allowed her to pursue her passion. But it is not a choice she makes alone. “It is my family that has really helped me make those choices and supported me,” she said somewhat emotionally. “For me – my family – they see me and support me, and it doesn’t matter if I have a bad game or I don’t get that appointment. Whatever happens I still have this amazing family and friends who have allowed me to have these amazing opportunities. It makes me happy to be able to share that. It’s really cool.” She believes the best way to keep her star ascendant is to show her personality and be herself on the field. It was a moment she could hardly wait for when she was forced to sit
