City and railway reps discussing safety issue

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The recent railway tragedy in a picturesque lakefront town in Quebec has highlighted the need to ensure plans are in place to address rail emergencies in New Westminster.

The small town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec is reeling after a train rolled down a hill and several tankers carrying crude oil derailed and exploded on Saturday. Twenty people had been confirmed dead and another 50 were unaccounted for as of The Record’s deadline.

“We have some pretty good response plans with respect to rail activity,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “Having said that, we need to have a better understanding of what the railways have in place.”

Railway safety will be one of the topics tackled by a community panel that the city has set up to improve its relationship with railway companies.

The community panel includes representatives from the City of New Westminster, the four railways operating in New Westminster and local residents.

Puchmayr said the city has a list of the type of goods that are transported through New Westminster.

“The really volatile ones in my opinion, would be more dangerous than crude oil,” he said.

According to Puchmayr, chlorine gas, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and propane are among the products that are transported through New Westminster.

“They have been going through our city since the advent of the tanker car,” he said. ◗Trains Page 4

Lancers dance could go the way of Black Peter

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A city councillor believes it’s time to modernize one of the Royal City’s longstanding traditions.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr served council with a notice of motion at Monday’s meeting that the city begin to engage in discussions with the school district for the purpose of modernizing the May Day event known as the Lancers

Dance.

The men who make up the Royal Lancers dance with the girls in the May Queen Suite at the May Day dinner and dance held on the evening after the festivities in Queen’s Park.

“It’s time to modernize it. I think that’s a discussion we need to have,” he said. “I am hearing overtures from people on the school district side as well.”

A senior member of the Royal Lancers told The Record the group

wasn’t willing to comment on the motion at this time.

While some people support the longstanding tradition, Puchmayr said he’s hearing more and more criticisms about the dance.

“Two people approached me who said they would not let their kids participate in the May Queen Suite draw because of the dance,” he said. “It’s gotten to the point where, in my opinion, it has become controversial. It is a longstanding tradition, but so

was Black Peter.”

Puchmayr believes there could be a way of modernizing the event that maintains the tradition but also doesn’t deter people from participating.

He knows of people who are so uncomfortable with the dance between the men and the girls that they won’t attend the May Day dinner.

“It does raise an eyebrow,” he said of the dance. “It makes some people uncomfortable.”

David MacGrotty, chair of the lancers, told The Record in 2010 that the members enjoy their role around the May Day event.

“We fully understand that the traditional dances we participate in are a very important part of May Day, however, the evening is really about the May Queen suite,” he said at the time. “The Royal Lancers are all very honoured, fortunate and pleased to be part of such an important historical event.”

Trial begins for truck driver in deadly crash Burnaby cement truck driver faces multiple charges from 2011 incident

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Atruck driver from Burnaby will be in New Westminster Provincial Court on Monday on multiple charges, including dangerous driving causing death.

The charges stem from a crash in 2011, which resulted in the death of a 26-year-old Coquitlam man.

Around 11:30 a.m. on April 19, 2011, a cement truck allegedly ran a red light at Holmes and East Columbia streets, hitting a car travelling southbound. Police said the truck struck the car, pushing it through a cement barrier and down a drop-off into lower Hume Park.

As previously reported by The Record, the driver of the car – who was on his way to pick up his wife and infant son for a doctor’s appointment – died at the scene.

New Westminster police officers conducted an indepth investigation, which included the major crime unit and the collision, analysis and reconstruction teams, as well as independent experts.

The department is expected to release a statement following the conclusion of the trial.

Mohammad Abdolmalekpoor, 43, is charged with dangerous driving causing death; driving a vehicle without due care and attention; driving without reasonable consideration; failure to ensure vehicle is in safe operating condition; and operating a vehicle without effective service brakes.

City considering 25-storey building

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A 25-storey mixed-used building is being proposed on a Carnarvon Street site that’s currently home to a vacant building, an automotive repair shop and part of a dog park.

The city has received an application to rezone and issue a special development permit for a mixed-use commercial and residential development at 813 to 823 Carnarvon St. A staff report states the first five storeys of the building would have parking and commercial floor space, including more than 23,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail spaces.

According to staff, the developer would be

expected to make a voluntary amenity contribution toward the development of a park at 824 Agnes St. The park would commemorate Chinese history in New Westminster and provide green space.

New city digs

The City of New Westminster will be setting up shop atop the new Viceroy Building on Belmont Street.

Council has authorized the execution of a lease agreement that will give the city the exclusive use of an equipment room on top of the Viceroy Building that’s under construction at 608 Belmont St. The room will be used to house telecommunications equipment for city operations and emergency

“They have been and will continue to go through our city.”

With that being the case, Puchmayr said it’s important to consider the safety of those items and response plans in place if an incident ever occurred involving trains carrying hazardous materials.

“We need to take those plans and weave them into the railways’ master response,” he said.

The newly formed community panel will meet quarterly to discuss issues such as infrastructure improvements, planned developments, pedestrians and road crossings, train whistles, and community and safety concerns. Puchmayr, a member of the committee, has also been appointed as a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ railway committee’s dispute resolution subcommittee.

Puchmayr said New Westminster is in the “very unique” position of having four major railways running through the city.

“It is probably going to require some extra attention with regard to response,” he said. “It should be noted, the speed at which

they travel through New Westminster, the chances of a major derailment like the one in Quebec are slim to none.”

While Puchmayr said train cars have “jumped off the tracks” and suspects it’s unlikely for a major derailment to occur in New Westminster, he said the city has to ensure it has a modern response plan.

“We have to be more prepared than ever,” he said. “We are going to work with it directly with the railways.”

Puchmayr is hopeful that the community panel will enable the city and railways to abandon the “adversarial approach” that’s existed in the past and work toward common solutions for issues like whistle cessation. He said the city has reached an agreement to have whistling ceased at the Sixth Street crossing on the waterfront and work is underway to discontinue whistling at the Begbie Street crossing.

“I want to completely clean the slate,” said Puchmayr, a member of the panel.

“I want to look at where we can go, start working on a joint mission statement.

The adversarial approach, taking them to court, doesn’t work anymore.”

City OKs later hours for liquor

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Sapperton’s newest restaurant will be able to serve liquor a little later.

Browns Social House, which opened in the Brewery District development on May 21, sought the city’s support to extend its hours of liquor service from midnight to 1 a.m. seven days a week. The Sapperton location is one of 11 Browns Social House franchises, which aim to be a “hybrid” of upscale casual dining and a neighbourhood pub.

“The owners advise the extension would allow them to accommodate clientele that prefer late night dining,” stated a staff report to council.

“They state they are hoping to draw shift workers from the nearby Royal Columbian Hospital, as well as visitors to the hospital that may require later meals.”

In addition, the applicant wants to be competitive with restaurants offering liquor service until 1

a.m. on certain nights of the week, including White Spot, The Pantry Family Restaurant, Gino’s Pizza and Spaghetti and Go Thai.

Coun. Betty McIntosh said she thought council would “move cautiously” with the request, especially since the business is new.

“I thought maybe we could get through three months operation and see how it is working,” she said.

McIntosh noted that an Alberta Street resident wrote to the city expressing concerns about the extended hour as it’s close to residential homes and could cause traffic and noise issues. (A Minor Street resident wrote to the city in support of the request.)

Keith Coueffin, the city’s manager of licensing and integrated services, said the city doesn’t have the option to defer the request and must respond within 90 days.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr opposed the request, saying the extended hours aren’t fair to established busi-

nesses in the area.

“I believe that is too much, too soon for that Sapperton area,” he said of the extended hours.

McIntosh and Puchmayr opposed the resolution to approve the application from Browns Social House to extend its hours of liquor services to 1 a.m., but the remainder of council supported the application.

Coun. Lorrie Williams said she is delighted to have more offerings in Sapperton, adding that different people go to different place for different reasons. She said people stay up later in summer so she can understand why the business would want extended hours at this time.

Coun. Jonathan Cote said the Brewery District is “bringing new life to that part of town” and was pleased to see the patio at Browns Social House filled with people when he recently passed by. Although the business is new to New Westminster, he said Browns has been operating for years in other municipalities.

The victim was taken to a hospital where he received stitches to one of his ears.

how best to protect their residents from dangerous transportable goods.

The four railways that travel through New Westminster can transport more volatile cargo than crude oil, as Coun.

Chuck Puchmayr points out in our story on page 1.

The trains carry chlorine gas, sulpheric acid, hydrogen peroxide and propane, all of which could have dire consequences in the case of a derailment, especially in a heavily populated area.

That’s why we’re relieved to hear

that a new community panel, with city and railway representatives and New Westminster residents, has been formed.

While Coun. Puchmayr states that a derailment like the one in Quebec is very unlikely here, it is good to know that safety issues are being discussed and handled cooperatively.

Hopefully, the panel can clarify and share with the public the comprehensive railway safety response plans in place to prevent such tragedies from occurring in our city.

Natural gas deal a long way off Dear Editor:

Let’s not get too carried away over the news that Pacific NorthWest LNG, a consortium headed up

by Malaysian’s state-owned energy giant Petronas and Japan Petroleum Exploration Company (Japex), plans to spend up to $16 billion to export liquified natural gas out of Prince Rupert to the Asian market. It’s far from being a done deal.

According to Pacific NorthWest LNG, a feasibility study (FEED, short for front-end engineering design) won’t be completed until August 2014.

And it wont be until the end of 2014 that “the final investment decision on the project” will be made

by Petronas and Japex. A likely major element of that decision will be gas pricing. Until now, Asia has been paying a premium for gas mostly because, unlike North America, the price is indexed to oil.

And, of course, there is a very real shortage of natural gas deposits on that side of the world. Japan, for example, continues to be the largest importer of LNG, more so these days as it moves away from nuclear energy. It’s not surprising that, as expressed

by Japex managing director Mitsura Saito recently, they’d like to “work on ways to lower gas prices.”

If LNG Minister Rich Coleman or the premier took note of that comment, they gotta be wondering just what the future holds vis-a-vis their grand plan to use LNG royalties to render B.C. debt free in 15 years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 100k-club also growing ◗ continued from page 6

July 4.

The four city councillors who resisted the temptation to take vacation and allow staff to do a bureaucratic end-run around political authority during the dog days of summer are to be congratulated on exercising sober second thought and tabling the delegation bylaw.

We trust that this prudent step will result in a more disciplined approach by staff to ensure they stay within their existing authority, rather than stretch the limits imposed on them, then try to encode such transgressions as being “best practice.”

This is tantamount to increasing the speed limit to reflect the “best practice” of motorists tending to drive 10 per cent above the speed limit in that unwritten and unpunished zone of freedom.

The latter is not a good “best practice” increase for safety reasons, and the former ill advised for transparency reasons.

I was struck by what Jim Dueck identified as the “whipsaw” effect, as regards bureaucracy salaries, by benchmarking salary increases by what is “best practice” in other jurisdictions, as chronicled in his July 5 opinion piece in The Record titled “True transparency triggers trust.”

No wonder we have a growing $100,000-plus club at New Westminster City Hall. The same benchmarking, for “salary creep,” can be used to justify “power creep” in bureaucracies.

As I have opined before, “Politicians may come and go, but unchecked bureaucracies only grow.”

Also embedded in the delegation bylaw was a provision that would allow city hall staff to grant exemptions to contractors and developers regarding hours of work with attendant noise generation at work sites.

I believe that exposing applications in the light of TV cameras in a “before-thefact” council chamber is far better protection for citizens than having approvals

done in a “chamber of secrets” by an unchecked staff process with a no-recourse, “after-the-fact” review.

I am reminded of a friend telling me how she was awakened last March by a jack-hammer crew exceeding noise bylaw limits outside reasonable hours. It took her until 10 a.m. to get through to the bylaw enforcement office.

Their only response, a day later, was: “Our union brothers and sisters can make all the noise they want.”

I don’t think taxpayers would get such a callous response from city councillors, so let’s keep these variance approvals in the public before the fact because, indeed, “true transparency triggers trust.”

Re: Minter Garden set to close, The Record, July 10 Letter writer L. Luyten, unfortunately, is misinformed about the hanging baskets along Sixth Street in Uptown.

These beautiful baskets, put together by our talented parks department staff, are actually paid for by the merchants and property owners along Sixth Street, and not by your tax dollars.

Similarly, the upkeep and watering of the baskets throughout the summer months is also paid for by the merchants, not by your tax dollars.

Every day, several thousand residents and visitors enjoy the hanging baskets along our streets.

These baskets are one way we can beautify our area and help create a welcoming and vibrant shopping district.

The baskets are hung high on the poles to allow them to reach their full size. By the fall, you will see the plants drape down beautifully in a stunning display of colour.

better than they do. In fact, dogs sweat only from their feet.

And when that tongue is hanging out as far as the dog can get it, the motivation is not joy; it’s the only other way the dog has to dissipate the excruciating heat that is building up in its body from the sun beating its rays down relentlessly, and the pavement radiating heat up, equally

relentlessly.

And while a bit of water from the hand of god now and again might help ease a little of the dog’s discomfort, it’s not enough.

Your dog is dying, idiot.

If you don’t believe me, next time you are possessed of the desire to submit your dog to concrete and pavement on the hottest days of the year, put

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Labour strife could close schools this September if the province and the Canadian Union of Public Employees representing support workers can’t hammer out a collective agreement.

CUPE local 409 president Marcel Marsolais said his local took a strike vote in May and has a mandate to strike if demands for wage increases and job security aren’t met.

“We are set for September if there is no movement this summer,” Marsolais told The Record. “We are looking at less than zero (wage increases). We are not even getting what other large public sector unions managed to achieve in the last six

months.”

CUPE members in 53 of the 57 kindergarten-to-Grade-7 locals have voted to strike so far.

One of the major concerns for local CUPE members is job security, Marsolais said. The district recently laid off 27 support staff – many of whom work with the district’s vulnerable special needs students – in order to balance the budget. In total, the district let go 60 staff members to shave millions from the budget next year, and the district still owes approximately $4.4 million for previous shortfalls.

“We can’t continue to reduce our workforce and provide the support services to students if we don’t have the staff to do it – that’s the biggest

one. The biggest one is job security, and number two is some wage increases,” Marsolais said.

But he’s not optimistic about the prospect of a wage increase, given that Premier Christy Clark announced there would be a three-year freeze on funding for education and health care in a bid to balance the province’s budget.

“She’s basically announced three years of no increases and (is) looking at school districts and boards to find the money, and as we know, there is no money,” Marsolais said.

CUPE education workers include education assistants, clerical staff, trades, aboriginal workers, youth and family workers, custodians and bus drivers.

Watch for ‘spoofing’ scam – Telus warns

Telus is warning the public to beware of phone scams.

The latest scam involves “spoofing,” where a fraudster re-programs the caller ID signal to make it appear they are calling from a legitimate business, claiming to represent that organization.

When someone picks up the scam call, the imposter on the other end of the line claims to be Telus, saying

the person they called has won a prize, according to a press release. Other variants of the scam ask you to press 1 to receive a prize. The imposter will then try to convince the person they’ve called to hand over personal information and credit card numbers in order to collect the alleged prize. This can result in unauthorized charges to a credit card or identity theft.

The calls are fraudulent and in no way related to Telus or other companies the scam artists claim to be associated with, the release states. Telus recommends customers simply hang up if they receive a call.

The company is also urging the public to not give out personal information over the phone unless certain they are speaking to a legitimate company. If

unsure when receiving a call from someone claiming to be from a company and asking for information, Telus recommends they either hang up or ask for a number to call them back at directly to ensure they are speaking with someone legitimate.

If anyone thinks they may have been scammed and needs assistance, call Telus at 1-877-567-2062.

New West police dept. wraps up gun amnesty Seven rifles and 10 handguns turned in to local police

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Gun Amnesty Month is officially over and the New Westminster Police Department has deemed it a success, after recovering more than a dozen firearms in June.

During the month-long campaign, seven rifles and 10 handguns were turned in to the New Westminster Police Department. Among the rifles recovered were a pair of semi-automatics, several bolt-action firearms, as well as a lever action rifle and a single shot rifle. There were also four semi-automatic handguns and five revolvers turned in.

“We’re quite happy with the amount of firearms and ammunition turned in,” Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland told The Record. “That’s 17 firearms that are now off the street. Seventeen firearms

that couldn’t be used for a bad purpose.”

But not everyone thinks the gun amnesty program is such a great thing.

Simon Fraser University professor emeritus Gary Mauser, who is an anti-gun registry advocate, released a statement denouncing the gun amnesty program because it improperly targets gun owners who may not want to give up their firearms.

“It is poor policy for the police to ask citizens to surrender potentially valuable firearms without offering reimbursement,” Mauser said in the release.

In a phone interview with The Record, Mauser said the police should offer alternatives to simply turning in unwanted firearms.

Many old firearms, especially riffles, could potentially be valuable and be sold to gun clubs or donated to museums, he added.

What’s more, Mauser said the campaign is highly unlikely to have an impact on violent crime because

criminals won’t be turning in their guns to police.

Hyland agreed, somewhat, but added that the program isn’t meant to encourage criminals to bring in their guns or weapons.

“The reality is what we’re trying to do is that people who don’t have any use for the firearms are turning it in so they don’t end up in the hands of criminals, so they don’t get stolen,” Hyland said. “The goal is to get guns off the street.”

And Hyland said that having 17 fewer guns to worry about is a good thing for both public and officer safety.

The local department also recovered 148 shotgun shells and 394 rounds of ammunition during the provincially mandated program. Hyland added that if people have firearms or ammunition they want to get rid off, they can always contact the New West department about turning them in.

The department can be reached at 604-525-5411.

Free summer movie series on big screen Outdoor screenings kick off tonight with the 1985 classic Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox

Movie night: From left, Sandon Fraser, Louise Perry of G&F Financial, and Realtor Derrick Thornhill have teamed up to provide the Summer Movie Series that gets underway July 12 in Queen’s Park Stadium.

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Royal City residents are invited to make themselves comfortable in Queen’s Park Stadium and take in a flick on the big screen – and maybe even sing along.

The City of New Westminster is embarking on Year 2 of its outdoor movie series in Queen’s Park Stadium and is offering an expanded roster of films.

The free Friday night outdoor movies get underway on July 12 (today) with a screening of Back to the Future and continue every week through the summer.

“We got a lot of really positive feedback last year,” said Sandon Fraser, the city’s youth services coordinator. “We thought, let’s try and make it go all summer.”

A variety of family friendly films will be shown on the big screen in Queen’s Park Stadium in the coming weeks: Finding Nemo (July 19); ET (July 26); Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (Aug. 2); Field of Dreams (Aug. 9); Madagascar (Aug. 16); Grease (sing-along – Aug. 23); and Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Aug. 30).

“We let the community choose,” Fraser said about online voting for this year’s movie selections. “We had over 280 individual responses. These were the top eight or nine.”

Up, one of the other popular choices, was unable to be shown because of licensing issues.

G&F Financial Group sponsored last year’s movie series and is back on board this year.

Because the series has doubled in size, organizers sought a second sponsor and found a willing participant in Park Georgia Realty Realtor Derrick Thornhill.

Larry Wright/

THE RECORD

Fraser, who spearheaded the movie series in New Westminster, encourages residents to pack a picnic dinner or snacks, arrive early and enjoy a night out at Queen’s Park. Movies will begins as soon as the sun goes down.

Moviegoers attending the screening of Grease on Aug. 23 are encouraged to sing along with the 1978 hit musical featuring John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.

“Grease is going to be a sing-along – that seems to be getting a lot of buzz,” Fraser said. “We are going to be putting the subtitles on.”

In case of poor weather, residents can call 604-527-4634 to check on the status of that evening’s outdoor movie.

SFU program launches student’s dream Program tailored to meet needs of aboriginal students pursuing health sciences

BY MARELLE REID REPORTER mreid@royalcityrecord.com

A year ago, Janelle Dobson-Kocsis was dreaming of a career helping aboriginal people struggling with mental health issues but had no idea how to get started.

The New Westminster resident had applied to the Douglas College psychiatric nursing program right after high school seven years ago but wasn’t accepted because her math marks were too low.

However, after years of feeling trapped in low-paying restaurant jobs and care-aid positions that weren’t challenging, she discovered a program at Simon Fraser University tailored to help aboriginal high school grads and mature students get into post-secondary health sciences studies.

The aboriginal pre-health program (APH) is what Dobson-Kocsis, a New Westminster resident and member of the Kwanlin Dun Band, credits with getting her on track for her dream job.

“If I didn’t take the APH program, I’d either be struggling with an adult learning centre math course or I would have tried to take one and dropped out of it,” she says.

According to Natalie Wood-Wiens, indigenous programs coordinator at SFU, only eight per cent of aboriginal adults between ages 25 and 65 in Canada have a post-secondary degree, compared with the 23 per cent of non-aboriginal adults, as per the 2006 census data.

Having a program like this at SFU is a leg up that is sorely needed for aspiring aboriginal health-care workers, she said.

“A significant number of health professionals in varying capacities are needed in aboriginal communities,” she wrote in an email to the NOW. “Educational institutions, in partnership with aboriginal communities and organizations, can play a key role in building this capacity through the development of appropriate and relevant programs such as the SFU aboriginal prehealth bridge program.”

The two-semester program, started in 2009, offers academic and studies skills courses that serve to enhance students’ academic standing to help them gain entry into post-secondary programs.

So far, 19 students have completed this program, which covers study skills, cultural studies focusing on Canadian aboriginal people, and math.

For Dobson-Kocsis, this was exactly what she needed.

“What I wanted was that math, but I got a whole bunch of stuff on top of that, and then other opportunities came out of it,” she says. “It was everything I wanted

We look forward to her return to SFU graduate studies.”

Having a clinical degree will also give Dobson-Kocsis hands-on experience in a hospital setting, which she says will be an important part of building her skill set in her chosen field.

Knowing how many opportunities are made available through the aboriginal prehealth program at SFU, Dobson-Kocsis says she would encourage anyone interested in health sciences to consider applying.

“When it comes to programs like Math Catcher, TAYBL and the aboriginal prehealth program, I think aboriginal people should pursue them,” she says. “Try them, and if it’s not for you, at least you tried something.”

For more information about the aboriginal pre-health program at Simon Fraser University, visit www.sfu.ca/ continuing-studies.html. The application deadline for the September 2013 program is July 31.

Rainbow of reading options at the library

BY JOANNE ROBERTSON CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

N

ew Westminster Public Library celebrates the summer of 2013 with its third annual Summer Reading Club for Adults.

A Rainbow of Reading runs all summer until Aug. 30. The library invites you to recommend your favourite books, to discover new ones, and to enter the draws to win prizes.

The reading club follows the colours of the rainbow. Each week displays and reading recommendations will feature a rainbow colour. The first week is Read Red. Next week is Read Orange; followed by Read Yellow, Read Green, Read Blue, Read Indigo, Read Violet, and finally Read All Colours. Of course, you can Read All Colours all summer long. But, if you want to join in with the rainbow-

coloured themes, there will be bookmarks with reading recommendations and displays that will change each week following the colours of the rainbow.

If you liked Alan Bradley’s Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, you’ll want to keep up with Flavia’s adventures in A Red Herring without Mustard during Read Red week. Or, maybe your choice will be the magical Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It

has red in the cover, so it makes it into the Read Red recommendations.

Or, maybe now is the time to read The Celestine Prophecy

by James Redfield, which is on the Read Red list because of the author’s name.

Tell the library about the books you’re reading to enter your name in the weekly draws.

Fill out the ballots online or in the library.

On Aug. 31, all the ballots entered during the summer will go into a draw for a chance to win the Grand Prize of a Kobo Mini eReader.

All summer long, the book recommendations will be posted in the library and on the library’s Facebook page. For more information see the library’s webpage at www.nwpl.ca. Winners will be announced on the Facebook page.

Familiar face returns to school district T

CLASS ACT NIKI HOPE

he New Westminster school district recently hired two new staff members to work at its administration offices – and one of the hires is a familiar face.

Sheldon Lee is returning to the district as its director of finance. Lee is a certified management

accountant (CMA) who previously worked for the school district as an assistant secretary treasurer.

Lee will provide accounting services to New Westminster school district under a shared services delivery arrangement.

The district expects to

save money by sharing Lee with two other school districts (School District No. 84 – Vancouver Island West), and School District No. 49 (Central Coast – in Bella Coola).

Robert Weston will be the district’s new director of human resources beginning Aug. 1. He takes over

from Phil Cookson – the incoming principal at New Westminster Secondary School, taking over for Mary Bushman who retires this month.

Weston is currently manager of labour relations with the Chilliwack school district and previously spent 12 years as a

negotiator and employee and labour relations consultant with the Health Employers’ Association.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST Q. At what age should my child have an eye exam and what coverage is available?

In our office, children with a valid Care Card are fully covered for an annual eye examination up until their 19th birthday. A child should have their first eye exam at 6 months, especially if there is a family history of eye problems like lazy eye or glasses at Dr. Jennifer Durst, OD a young age. Don’t worry, we’re not going to ask your baby to read the eye chart. We will test for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, eye muscle coordination and eye health problems. If these problems are caught early, they can be treated and your child will develop healthy eyes with clear vision. If your child does have an eye problem and is not treated, the eye will not develop normally. Unfortunately this happens far too often, as many eye problems cannot be detected without a proper eye exam. It is important to check a child’s eye at least once a year, as the eyes are developing and growing rapidly. Please bring your child in for an eye exam, we would be very happy to see them!

ASK A DENTIST Q. What is gum disease?

Gum disease is a bacterial infection in the gum tissues of your mouth.

Our mouths carry bacteria that, when exposed to nutrients from our diet, create a plaque that sits on the teeth and along the gumline. We brush and floss our teeth to remove this plaque but if this is not done – or done incorrectly – the bacteria infect the gums and cause them to become inflamed. Over time, this inflammation causes damage to the gum tissues and bone loss and could result in tooth loss. The good news is that gum disease can be easily prevented with daily brushing and flossing and regular hygiene visits!

ASK A REFLEXOLOGIST There are many reasons to put your feet up: “I’m on my feet all day” “My shoes/heels are killing me” “I finished the Grouse Grind!”

“I’m sore from walking” “I just want to relax”

Q. What are the health benefits of reflexology?

Reflexology is known as an ancient way of healing. By stimulating the reflex zones and pressure points on hand and feet to achieve homeostasis in our body. It is based on the premise that there are reflexes on different parts of our body that corresponds to relative parts, glands, organs of the body.

In Chinese medicine, we believe if the opposing forces of Yin and Yang of our body is in harmony, health and vitality is achieved. Reflexology works on a similar principle to acupuncture where our body is divided into 12 pairs of energy channels (Meridians), and many specific acupoints along these meridians.

Reflexology, using the reflex zones and stimulating the pressure points on hands and feet can boost a sluggish circulation. It is useful for treating stress, anxiety, back pain, headaches, poor digestion, respiratory problem etc... If you have been injured or are lacking energy, reflexology can help to restore balance and allow your body into healing itself.

We don’t believe in the “no pain, no gain’ principle. Our reflexologists will work within the pain tolerance threshold of the individual.

After all, there’re many reasons to treat your feet and enjoy some relaxation! www.liminaspa.com

Heatstroke may be a life threatening condition and requires immediate treatment. Watch for these following signs and contact your veterinarian immediately should any of the following occur: Excessive panting, sweating paws, salivation, restlessness, lack of coordination or in advance severe cases the tongue and gums will be blue.

Prevention The best choice is to leave your dog at home instead of leaving him or her in the car when travelling.

Avoid exercising your dog in hot conditions. Walk your pet in the morning and evening when temperatures are cooler.

Be sure to provide access to fresh clean water at all times and a shaded area outside.

What to do If you suspect your dog may be developing heatstroke remove him or her from the environment.

Contact your veterinarian immediately Move your pet to a shaded and cool environment and direct a fan on him or her if possible.

You can begin to reduce the body’s temperature by placing cool wet towels on the back of the neck, in the armpits and in the groin area. You can also apply cool water to ear flaps and paws. Directing a fan on these wetted areas can help and evaporate cooling.

What not to do When cooling your pet in the case of heatstroke do not use cold water or ice for cooling.

Take care to not over cool your pet.

Don’t attempt to force water into your pet’s mouth (have fresh cool water available should your pet show any interest in drinking).

If you have to leave your pet unattended in the warmer conditions be sure your pet has access to shade and fresh water at all times.

Summer is a great time to head into the great outdoors with your dog – taking the above precautions will ensure a safe and enjoyable time to be shared together in the sunshine!

ASK A DENTURIST Q. How often should

I replace my dentures?

Dentures should be replaced every 5 years.

New dentures can take years off of your appearance and give your face a lift as well as making chewing more comfortable. Your face, mouth and jaw change over the years and your old denture cannot adapt to these changes. Tissues and bone that have shrunk cause poor denture fit.

Here are some of the signs that your dentures should be checked: • sore and irritated tissues • thinning lips and sagging mouth • difficulty chewing your favourite foods • looking older than you actually are • dentures falling out when speaking or laughing • a toothless looking smile • whistling, slurring or clicking noises • wrinkles around your mouth At our clinic here in New Westminster, we suggest a consultation to have your dentures checked and cleaned every 2 years and replaced every 5 years to prevent any problems.

ASK A REALTOR Q. Is it best to use a lawyer or a notary to handle a real estate transaction?

In nine out of ten cases, you can use either a lawyer or a notary for a real estate transaction. However, Derrick Thornhill Park Georgia Realty if a problem requiring a lawyer surfaces on the day of completion, you will be happy you chose one. Failure, for any reason to complete on the day you agreed to on the contract may result in additional cost. Additionally, a lawyer with a family law background can be very helpful when dealing with estates and wills as they may relate to your particular real estate transaction. As a rule, I recommend that my clients use a lawyer.

What drew early tourists to town?

W

hat was it that encouraged people to come to New Westminster to visit?

As a tourist in the first decades of the city’s history that question is frequently

put, were there really tourists in the early days of the city?

The short answer to this is yes, there were tourists.

While much of the travel to and around this area in the 1860s was for business, exploration, prospecting and homesteading, there were also those folks who were simply seeing the sites they had heard about in accounts published elsewhere in the world.

One man, Capt. BarrettLeonard, arrived on a

large ship in 1860 with the intention of circumnavigating Vancouver Island. To do this, he and a partner brought a small sailing vessel with them, completed their voyage, visited many locations, including New Westminster, and then wrote a book on their exploits and experiences.

Two other fellows, Messrs Milton and Cheadle, crossed North America to the local colonies in what was a strenuous and dangerous

SALES EVENT

pleasure trip. This trip, also in the early 1860s, included a visit to New Westminster, and also resulted in a book of their adventures.

Others like Macfie and Chittenden in the 1880s visited as well, recorded their observations and wrote wonderful descriptive books that set the scene for others they knew would arrive as well, some intending to stay and others for personal exploration and adventure.

All-Stars win first B.C. title New Westminster All-Stars won their first-ever District 6 Little League baseball title last weekend.

The provincial title was the first for the Royal City nine- and 10-year-olds since New West joined the Little League organization in 2003.

New Westminster was unbeaten in five games, but needed comeback rallies against both South Vancouver and Hastings, in the playoff final, to win its historic title at the district championships hosted by Trout Lake.

A late inning rally gave New West a 7-6 comeback victory over South Vancouver and a first-place finish in the round robin. The All-Stars defeated their hosts 19-8 in one semifinal. In the final, New West edged Hastings 8-6 on July 4.

The provincial championships will be hosted in Saanich and will run from July 13 to 20. New West will also compete at the first national invitational championships in Val d’Or, Que., beginning on July 25.

St. Thomas More grad Kevin Vigna lost in a threeway playoff at the B.C. junior boys’ golf championships at Revelstoke Golf Club last Friday.

The 17-year-old Vancouver Golf Club member missed a 12-foot putt on the 18th hole that would have given him the outright lead after finishing the final round in a six-under-par 66.

Kimberley’s Jare Dutoit went one shot better, tying a course record 65 to tie for the lead with Vigna and 15-year-old Jordan Lu of Vancouver, all at 11under-par.

The three went to the par 4, 405-yard 16th hole to begin the playoff.

Vigna missed the green on his approach with his second shot, and then left his chip to the flag short, settling for a bogey five.

Dutoit chipped to within four feet of the cup and drained the putt for the win.

The three boys will now represent Team B.C. at the upcoming Canadian junior boys’ championship to be held in Grason, Ont. from July 30 to Aug. 2.

Burnaby’s Lucas Gatto and Alan Tolusso finished in eighth and ninth place, respectively, to also qualify for the nationals.

Alex François of Burnaby finished in a tie for 17th place, missing one of the 16 quota spots up to the nationals by a stroke.

Vigna opened the 72hole championship with a one-under 71 on the 6,537yard Revelstoke course.

The incoming Simon Fraser University freshman shot even par in round 2 before finishing off with a 68 and 66.

Gatto finished at par with a 288 total. Tulosso placed two shots back at 290.

François, who, at 15, won the recent Gold Cup interclub competition at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club, finished with a six-over-par 294.

Kevin Li of Burnaby finished in a tie for 37th place.

◗ PROVINCIAL A CUP

Selects win a pair, silver in a third

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Burnaby Selects won two A Cups and were runner-up in a third at the B.C. Soccer Provincial championships in Langley last Sunday.

The regular season champion under-14 Selects went unbeaten, including a dominant 7-0 victory over the Kamloops Blaze in the gold medal boys’ final.

The Coastal Cup-winning u-16 Selects boys also scored a shutout over the Thompson region club, posting a 4-0 win in the cup final.

The Coastal Cup champion Burnaby Royals settled for a silver medal following a 3-2 loss to Richmond United in the u18 boys’ final.

The u-14s won their second consecutive provincial A title with a textbook effort.

“It was a wonderful game, amazing energy and effort,” said Burnaby coach Franco Iuele. “The team’s philosophy was simple – to dominate possession and to keep the ball.”

“Our defending was

impeccable by virtue of the players’ dedication to retrieving the ball quickly and to take away the other team’s space. It was a dominating performance in every position, starting with our keeper,” added coach Mario Montagliani.

Alan Camacho Soto scored four times in the final, while Tak Tasaka added two goals. Mathew Manetta scored the seventh and final goal for Burnaby.

Goalie Aleksandar Kalajdzic allowed just two goals in the four-game tournament.

The u-16 Selects collected a rare quadruple, winning a Provincial Cup and fairplay award to go along with the team’s earlier league and Coastal Cup titles.

“I was really pleased with that. I’m most happy with the fairplay award,” said Burnaby coach Zico Najim. “Our possession was beautiful.”

Edris Najim figured in all four u-16 goals, scoring once and assisting on three others. Max Williams counted a pair of tallies, while Tyus Baptiste also scored for Burnaby.

Gaby Jones, Mary McQueen and Lauren Stewart were named to Team B.C.’s women’s field lacrosse team that will compete at the upcoming Canadian under-19 championships that will be hosted in Oshawa, Ont. from July 16 to 17.

New Westminster girls dominated the B.C. roster for the upcoming junior national lacrosse championships in Halifax, N.S. from July 23 to 28.

Leah Purdey, Mackenzie Ballance, Emily Goss, Rhianne Ferdinandi,Amber Haley, Alexandra LundMurray, Emily Muir and Kirsti Shanks made up the core of the 20-girl team.

Bianca Ballarin, Zoe Loewen, Emily Manville and Allison Shanks, all from New West, were selected to the provincial midget girls’ teamroster.CourtneyLundMurray, Keeley O’Neill and Andreea Serbanescu made the B.C. bantam squad.

The midget and bantam nationals will be run in conjunction with the junior championships in Halifax.
