Coal plan draws large audience

BY MARELLE REID REPORTER mreid@royalcityrecord.com

At least 300 people attended a town hall meeting on Thursday night at Douglas College in New Westminster to hear from a panel of speakers on the proposed coal facility at Fraser Surrey Docks.

Speaking on the panel were representatives from Port Metro Vancouver, Fraser Health, the environmental community and Fraser Surrey Docks.

Most of the crowd from the Royal City, as well as a few from neighbouring communities, expressed concern with the coal shipping company’s proposal to expand its facilities across the river from the Quay and Queensborough.

Marian Toft, who lives a few blocks from the riverfront in New Westminster, said she worries about the potential impact on the air quality, should the coal proposal go ahead.

“When I lived in Toronto, the solution was that there was an air quality warning and we had to keep the children inside, and I don’t think on our river, that in this day and age that we should have to do that and that we should have to keep the children inside in exchange for shipping a product that could maybe be done cleaner,” she said.

Fraser Surrey Docks has submitted a project permit application to Port Metro Vancouver to develop a direct transfer coal facility that would handle up to four million metric tonnes of coal. The coal would be brought by rail from the United States and placed on barges on the Fraser River and shipped to Texada Island, and from there, to Asia.

Jeff Scott, CEO of Fraser Surrey Docks, gave a presentation on his ◗Coal Page 4

It’s a scene that plays out on TV shows and at the roughly dozen bridal shops in downtown New Westminster, which local bridal insiders say are drawing women from all over the province.

And for bridal shop owner Gabrielle Bayona, the city should be doing more to capitalize on the tourism boom the bridal business brings to New Westminster.

“I think they should build on the city’s existing business,” says Bayona. “This is a bridal district, and the city doesn’t advertise it, but it’s known for it. People travel from all over the place, like we

Fryer said he’s heard discussions about the concept of promoting the area as a destination for brides who are planning their weddings.

“That’s not something we are specifically looking at,” he said. “That is not to say that couldn’t happen in the future as we look at ways to boost the downtown core.”

While some critics complain New Westminster seems to be the wedding dress capital of a Lower Mainland, that’s not necessarily a bad thing from the city’s perspective.

Walt Cirillo, the city’s business licence coordinator, said there is a cluster of wedding-related shops in the city’s downtown, but that’s not too different from areas of the city where several banks or coffee shops are located in close proximity.

“Free enterprise is free enterprise,” he says. “They must be doing well because they seem to be coming in droves.”

Not only do the shops have nice-looking facades, but he noted they also bring shoppers to downtown restaurants and coffee shops.

“They all have to go get lunch,” he said. “They go into some of the shops that are around.”

In addition to retailers specializing in wedding attire, weddings also create spin-off commercial enterprise – tailors and dressmakers specializing in alterations for wedding gowns or doing custom design work.

Numerous photography studios are licensed in the city, with many of them focusing on the magnetic wedding market – a market that says, “I do” to New Westminster.

Man attacked after telling teen not to kick lockers at city SkyTrain station A 14-year-old was arrested on May 26, following an incident at the Braid SkyTrain Station involving theft and an assault with a knife.

On May 25 at 10 p.m., at the bus loop outside the Braid SkyTrain Station in New Westminster, the victim was waiting for a bus and saw a group of teenagers kicking the nearby lockers, according to a Transit Police media release.

The victim asked the teenagers to stop and the 14-year-old boy began yelling back saying back off and that

he was on drugs. He then advanced on the victim with a knife in his hand.

The victim defended himself by kicking the boy and grabbing his cellphone, causing the boy to run away, but he grabbed the victim’s briefcase before taking off.

“When the victim tried to retrieve his case, he was punched in the face by one of the girls who also ran away,” the media release states. “Witnesses advised the teens had jumped on the train, believed to be heading to Lougheed Station.”

Around 1 a.m., a Transit Police officer spotted two teens at Lougheed and took them into custody. Transit Police also located the briefcase at Braid station, in a garbage canister.

The 14-year-old boy has been charged with assault with a weapon and theft under $5,000 and has been remanded in custody. His next court appearance is on June 11.

He has also been charged with breaching his release conditions related to two prior robbery charges.

company’s proposal, answered questions about possible health impacts and environmental concerns about the proposal. He also highlighted a plan to add 50 full-time jobs with the coal expansion project.

“Fraser Surrey Docks has been operating for 50 years on the Fraser River and they have a proven track record of safe and reliable terminal operations,” he said. “The economic crash of 2008 resulted in a significant downturn in business and forced us to look at new opportunities that will provide jobs, taxes, and support local businesses.

We have handled a variety of products over those years in a responsible state and the sustainable handling standard we have provided for those projects will be applied to coal.”

Mayor Wayne Wright and city council members, who unanimously supported a motion from Coun. Chuck Puchmayr on Monday to oppose the shipping of thermal coal from Fraser Surrey Docks, sided with many local residents who also voiced their opinion that the proposal is not in the best interest of the community.

James Crosty, who was an independent candidate

for New Westminster in the recent provincial election, delivered a petition with more than 900 signatures from residents who are against the plan.

“We don’t always agree in this community, but in this case, we all agree,” Crosty said, handing over the signed petition to the panel.

Most of the comments and questions from the audience centered on the potential impact of coal dust in the air and on the water when gale force winds occur.

Dr. Paul Van Buynder, Chief Medical Health Officer

for Fraser Health, said he is neither against nor in support of the coal proposal at this time because more data is required from Fraser Surrey Docks.

“We want a comprehensive health impact assessment undertaken for this project,” he said.

Except for a small minority of those who expressed approval of the potential for job creation, the general sentiment at the meeting was to call for a halt to the project.

Andrew Murray, an environmental activist with New Westminster Environmental Partners, said the proposal

to expand the coal industry in Greater Vancouver would be detrimental to both the local and global communities.

“Whether it’s burned here or it’s burned in China, it’s creating a negative impact for future generations,” he said. “…This is a 19th century proposal in a 21st century world.”

Port Metro Vancouver is currently reviewing the permit application from Fraser Surrey Docks.

OUR VIEW

unexpected costs – like lower-thanexpected enrolment, staff medical leaves, ballooning construction costs, etc. – the district is forced to pull money out of the classroom in the coming year by laying off about 60 staff members. This will have a direct impact on the quality of education students will receive.

In other words, the district has to do the very thing trustees Janzen and Ewen wanted to avoid.

Earlier in this school year, trustee MaryAnn Mortensen called herself a “fan of contingency funds”– showing that not all trustees oppose saving for a rainy day,

but those who do don’t have much sway on the board.

Looking back at what got the district in this multi-million dollar mess, consultant Joan Axford pointed out a critical detail – in the 2011/12 school year, districts across the province utilized $48 million in “operating reserves” to balance their books.

That’s the difference between New Westminster and some of its counterparts, including neighbouring Burnaby.

Those districts were willing to do a little slicing here and there to avoid an all-out slaughter down the road.

Is this the end for the B.C. NDP? IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

W

hile the B.C. Liberals have debated among themselves for months now whether or not they should change the name of their party, perhaps it is actually the NDP that needs to have precisely the same kind of discussion among their own members.

The NDP’s crushing election defeat may suggest its best-before date is long past. The party has won a measly three elections and lost 20 of them in 60 years, and while it almost always gains about 40 per cent of the vote it also usually falls short of winning by several thousand votes in a dozen or so ridings.

The NDP has to ask itself, if it can’t beat a government that has a mile high stack of scandals and controversies on its baggage sheet, can it ever win?

This past election showed once again that no matter how many misgivings people may have about the free enterprise coalition government a good number of them simply can’t bring themselves to vote for the NDP. So why is that?

The answer is ground in history. Originally, the NDP almost

gleefully originally painted itself as a party with ties to socialism, and has now spent two decades frantically trying to bury that association in the public’s mind.

As socialist and even social democratic governments around the world get tossed to the curb, the NDP has never really been able to redefine itself as a party that is not about raising taxes, making government larger and addressing income equality through redistribution of wealth.

Party candidates and leaders may insist, time and time again, that they are not the party of the past and that they are genuinely interested in making economic growth a priority.

The trouble is, a great many people (or, in electoral terms, “just enough people”) simply don’t believe them. Instead, they view the NDP precisely as its political opponents want them to view it: as the “tax and spend” party that will interfere in your life and endanger your economic future.

There doesn’t have to be a great many people who subscribe to this view. As I mentioned earlier, it only takes several thousand voters over a few ridings who view things this way to determine the election’s outcome (in this past election, if fewer than 3,000 people spread over eight ridings had voted NDP instead of for the B.C. Liberals, the New Democrats would have won)

Plenty of opposition to coal port

Dear Editor:

I was pleased, on attending the public forum at Douglas College on May 30 on the proposed coal port, to hear the overwhelming opposition, not just due to local concerns about the air, dust, water and perhaps noise impacts, but also the climate change implications of enabling even more coal burning.

We were informed that this particular coal is the worst possible fuel, and thus of low economic value.

The proposed shipping terminal would seem to be the thin end of the wedge, as it is forecast to increase in volume over the years. Washington and Oregon have so far not allowed this type of coal export.

Almost everyone in the audience was opposed, and the panel on stage, with the exception of the CEO of the Fraser-Surrey Docks, expressed grave ◗NDP Page 7 concerns about the negative impacts on health and

air quality.

The project will only employ 25 full-time people, although there may be about 25 spinoff jobs. It was pointed out by an audience member, that even if it created 500 jobs, it should not go ahead due to the effects on climate and atmospheric quality.

I was also interested to note that aside from the mayor and Coun. Chuck Puchmayer, three NDP representatives from New Westminster attended the discussion (both federal MPs and our new MLA).

No other political parties were noted as attending this important public meeting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Commerce, at what cost? ◗ continued from page 6

plan, The Record, May 31.

So, despite our city council (rightly) coming out strongly against the Fraser Surrey Docks coal port proposal, the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce has come out in support of it? Well there’s a surprise.

The health concerns of residents, not a consideration, that coal is a major contributor to climate change, didn’t raise an eyebrow.

What was important to them obviously is commerce and making money at whatever human cost. It only matters that 25 jobs are being created here, while this low-grade coal from the United States is shipped from here to be burned in China into our atmosphere.

I trust they do understand that people in many low-lying areas of the world are losing their land to rising sea levels.

We now have an infestation throughout Canada of pine beetle because our winters are not as cold; our glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, we are seeing increases in precipitation throughout the globe.

Tornadoes in Oklahoma are stronger than ever; flooding, fires, drought, and on and on the list grows as we collectively start to experience the effects of climate change and this type of callous decision that has brought us to this point.

Shame on you, chamber of commerce,

but thank you for informing us of what really matters to you.

Make sure and proudly tell your grandchildren of your decision, that making money now comes before their future.

Heritage home demolition Dear Editor:

I am wondering whether people are aware of what is transpiring at 221 Third Ave. in New Westminster.

The beautiful 1926 heritage home that straddles two lots is being dismembered by a salvage company prior to its demolition.

How can this be allowed to happen?

This is not some run-down, uncared for property. It is a heritage gem, and its demolition will be a huge loss to our city.

Passersby frequently stop and admire not only the house but the pristine gardens.

I would have thought that in New Westminster, where many people work hard to preserve our heritage buildings, that this unique house would be safe and valued as a treasure.

Just last weekend, hundreds of people bought tickets to view houses, such as this one, during the annual Heritage Home Tour and Tea. Walk by and see it soon before it disappears forever. What a sad day for our city.

Karen Hollick-Kenyon, New Westminster

NDP: May need a name change ◗ continued from page 6

New Democrats may complain about the nasty attacks their opponents launch at them and decry them for any inaccuracies contained in them, but by doing so they are missing the key point: those attacks work precisely because they exploit, with devastating effectiveness, the most vulnerable parts of the NDP’s historical image and record.

Since their devastating election loss, a number of New Democrats have observed that the party has to make a fundamental decision: is it is a social movement or is it a political party interested in forming government?

A social movement holds a lot of meetings where overblown rhetoric is the main agenda item, and where the main activity is passing a lot of motions.

A political party makes

compromises, bends its ideals and gores some sacred cows.

The NDP is controlled by something called the provincial council, the members of which have been in control of the party’s philosophy and direction for many years and through all those election defeats.

Is such a body at all useful for a genuine political party seeking power?

It’s a question party members might want to wrestle with.

The NDP is at a genuine crossroads. The party is a coalition of interests, and one of its main fault lines – environmental protection versus industrial development – was exposed during the election campaign, and it is a fissure that remains exposed.

The two opposing views are on a collision course within the party, and issues like fracking,

pipeline construction and mining may ultimately tear the NDP apart.

Trying to be both a strong environmental party as well as a party that favors industrial development may prove to be impossible.

For months now, the New Democrats have watched with relish as the B.C. Liberals tried to square their stormy past with getting re-elected, and fretted about their apparently wounded brand.

How ironic, then, that it is perhaps the NDP “brand” that is broken, perhaps forever.

And that means it is that party – and not the B.C. Liberals – who may need a name change and a political rebranding.

Construction crews working on the new $23.2 million École Qayqayt Elementary School hit a gas line on Monday morning, forcing traffic diversions in that area of the city and prompting a request that area residents ventilate their homes.

A work crew excavating at the former St. Mary’s Hospital site at Merrivale Street and Royal Avenue struck and ruptured a six-inch gas line at about 8 a.m. on June 3. New Westminster Fire and Rescue Services attended and contacted Fortis B.C. “Gas was shut down to the area

“New Westminster Fire will be working with Fortis crews to go doorto-door to residences in the area impacted between Queens Avenue and Columbia Street and between First and Third streets. Essentially, they are checking on the status of the gas systems.”

According to Fryer, the gas supply to about 160 residences was impacted when Fortis B.C. shut down the gas to deal with the ruptured line.

After getting a call shortly before 8 a.m., the fire department established a mobile command centre on

MARY BUSHMAN, PRINCIPAL OF NWSS, RETIRES AFTER 33 YEARS

‘Last two years have been … challenging’ T

he New Westminster Secondary School principal, who has been at the helm of one of the largest schools in the province, is retiring.

Mary Bushman has worked at NWSS for the last six years, overseeing a school that has 2,000plus students.

Bushman has been in education for 33 years and has worked much of that time as a senior administrator. Even with all of the decades behind her, Bushman says the last couple were the toughest.

“These last two NIKI HOPE years have been the most challenging of my career, period,” she tells The Record. “Well, last year, with the teachers’ job action, although I’ve experienced that on more than one occasion, not for that length of time, however. And not necessarily with the way it transpired, particularly with year-end activities with administrators having to deal with all of it … and, of course this year, with the financial difficulties. It’s been one challenging decision after another, and we’re still not out of the woods.”

Bushman worked through years when school districts were flush with cash to help fund professional development and creative teaching programs. She worked with teachers and schools to help advance learning.

Big changes in Queen’s Park future

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Queen’s Park will undergo significant change in the years to come including an overhaul of the stadium and a second ice sheet.

New Westminster city council has adopted the 2013 Queen’s Park master plan and directed staff to incorporate the recommendations into future work plans for council’s consideration.

“It is 125 years old now,” Jana Zelenski, manager of urban design and landscape architecture at Golder Associates, said about the park. “This is the first vision for it.”

The vision of the 77-acre park includes being a park for everyone, a place of celebration and discovery, a home for nature and ecology and a coherent and unified park that is well designed and integrated in character.

“The vision is to create a space for everyone,” said Zelenski, a consultant who has been leading the process.

The Queen’s Park master plan includes 35 recommendations requiring capital investment, including: restoring and enhancing Queen’s Park Arena; installing a second ice sheet; expanding greenhouses and building a new conservatory; replacing the stadium grandstand with a new, high-quality facility; updating Rainbow Playland; installing community/children’s gardens; installing rainwater ponds and swale; creating an eco-zone area; relocat-

ing the rose garden; creating a park entry plaza at the south tennis courts site; consolidating maintenance buildings and storage areas; and reorganizing parking. The plan also includes operational recommendations about items like policy development, management and planning and information strategies for Queen’s Park.

During the master plan process, Zelenski said residents offered a “range of input” about their vision for Queen’s Park Stadium.

While the stadium has a lot of memories for some people, she noted that the aging stadium is deteriorating and will need costly repairs in the years ahead.

The consultants hired to oversee the master plan process considered three approaches for Queen’s Park Stadium: removal of the grandstand and creation of a quality, smaller-scale facility; shortterm grandstand upgrades to maintain its current function; and a full grandstand upgrade and plans for increased use.

Council supported the recommendation to replace the existing stadium with a new high-quality facility that is size-appropriate and reduces the city’s maintenances costs.

“We are talking about a place that still becomes an experience, an even better experience than it is today,” Zelenski said.

Zelenski said the idea would be to create a facility that offers seating behind the ball field and offers a better connection to the park-entry experience. In addition to opening up views to the ball field, it would also provide better connections with the

Principal: ‘I am a proud product of public education’ ◗ continued from page 11

It’s been tough to watch education funding dwindle, she says.

“I am fearful, however, that every year public education is being eroded,” she says. “I am a staunch supporter of public education. I am a proud product of public education.”

Despite the funding challenges, Bushman applauds the teachers at the high school.

“I have not worked with such a dedicated group of professionals, given the challenges and the restraints faced everyday, given the age of this building, the teachers and the support staff here rise above all of that – that’s what gets me up in the morning, because despite all of the negative aspects, lots of good teaching and learning is happening in this building.”

Looking back on her life, Bushman says it was her public education and the value her immigrant parents – her Polish father and Italian mother – put on it that made her who she is. A first-generation Canadian, Busman grew up in Port Arthur, Ont.

“My parents came here after the war, and we happened to live in a neighbourhood that was, in retrospect, I think of it now, we got the best education possible – what public education should provide in my family of seven children. There wasn’t a lot, but education was encouraged by my parents. Me and my siblings, we had the best teachers, we all did very well. We all went onto post-secondary education.”

Her parents made sacrifices, and that “was always stressed,” says Bushman, who followed her older sister out west for university.

“I started at SFU, and, as typically happens with 18- and 19 year-olds, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do.”

She took a hiatus in her second year, got married and went to work as an office manager in a dentist office.

“So, I basically did the books for two dentists, and I was 19 years of age,” she says. “You talk about life and pivotal moments, I asked for a raise one day, and I knew they had

the money because I was doing the books, and they refused to give me a raise, so I said, ‘OK, I guess I better look at what I want to do.’”

She returned to school and later graduated with bachelor of arts in French literature and linguistics and her teaching degree.

(Later, she went back to complete her master’s degree in educational leadership.) She was hired in the Surrey school district.

“I was hired before I even finished my practicum because they had a shortage, as they do now, of French teachers,” she says.

Through the years, she moved up the administrative ranks.

A significant event occurred in Bushman’s life in 1986 when her daughter, Katharine, was born.

Today, 27-year-old Katharine is an emergency room nurse in Prince George. Katharine is a product of the New Westminster school system – she went to Herbert Spencer Elementary and NWSS. Currently, Katharine is doing her master’s degree.

proud of at the high school (a question she is much more comfortable answering than when asked about herself), Bushman says it’s the staff and the many diverse educational programs the school offers.

“This is a place where I think most students can find a niche for themselves. So, that I’m very proud of.”

The district’s director of human resources Phil Cookson is taking over Bushman’s job when she leaves.

Asked what advice she has for the incoming principal, Bushman says, “Get to know the staff, understand the historical perspective of how things operate – it will guide you.”

Bushman’s tenure comes to an end in July, but there’s no slowing down yet. Aside from September, June is the busiest month of the school year.

“You’re bringing the year to an end, but you’re also planning for the following year. That makes it doubly complex, and then we have all of these farewells to do,” she says.

Street Festival

11th Annual Sapperton Day Street Festival The 2013 Sapperton Day Street Festival is a non-profit community event put together by the Sapperton Business Association with some help from local businesses and Wesgroup Properties.

This is its 11th consecutive year after returning from a short hiatus. Sapperton Days has been around since the early 1970’s.

Sapperton was established by the Royal Engineers, the Sappers, in 1859.

This year’s event is featuring Foods from Around the World! ✒ All proceeds raised on the day of the event will be donated to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation’s to raise funds for critically needed equipment, research and innovation and to ensure the best medical standards for the future. ✒ Last year’s festival donated $13,000 to support

their campaign goals. ✒ Royal Columbian Hospital cares for 1.6 million people (one in three British Columbians) from Burnaby to Boston Bar. 85% of patients treated at RCH come from outside New Westminster.

RCH is responsible for treating the most critically ill and injured patients in the province in the areas of child and adult

trauma, cardiac and stroke care, aneurysms, high risk maternity and premature babies.

Come join us to celebrate the beginning of summer.

We will be having live street performers, musical groups, bouncy castles, clowns, games, minidonuts, pancake breakfast, rock climbing wall, market place vendors and much, much, more ……

How to shop for hospital equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital RCH’s patients come from across the province yet, it was a local patient, Tim Delesalle, who so aptly captured the current needs of the hospital: “The support and care at RCH was immediate, unconditional, thorough and beneficial. It is crucial to place the necessary tools in the professionals’ hands to allow this valuable work to succeed.”

Delesalle, was living in New Westminster when he arrived at RCH in full cardiogenic shock. He, his wife Karen and the Delesalle family business have since contributed extensively to RCH by donating to the $5 million Multipurpose Interventional Suite that was opened in October 2012 bringing cardiac, stroke and aneurysm care closer to home for all of

Police hit the streets for cause

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Police Department along with Transit Police will be taking to the streets on Friday (June 7) to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics in this year’s Law Enforcement Torch Run. The Torch Run began back in 1981 when a Wichita, Kansas, police chief decided to create an event that would increase public awareness for Special

Olympics and help foster relationships between law enforcement and Special Olympians.

Canada soon picked up the idea and in 1987 Toronto held the first Canadian Law Enforcement Torch Run. New Westminster has participated in the run for a number of years and this year another group of officers will be doing the run on June 7, according to a press release.

The run begins at 10 a.m. at the

Justice Institute of B.C. at 715 McBride Ave. and from there runners will head west on Eighth Avenue turning at Sixth Street to city hall for a brief ceremony.

Then the officers are back on the street, running south to Columbia Street where they’ll head east, finishing at the Transit Police headquarters at 307 Columbia St. Anyone interested in donating can visit www.specialolympics.ca/beinvolved/join-the-torch-run.

Cocktail reception for new ’Borough community centre AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

The City of New Westminster is celebrating the opening of its new Queensborough Community Centre with a cocktail reception on Friday.

The centre, which opened on May 21, includes a branch library, police work spaces, multipurpose rooms, an expanded fitness centre, a licensed childcare for children three to five years of age, a community kitchen and a living room with fireplace.

City tries regional licence pilot program

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster is interested in taking part in an inter-municipal business licence pilot program.

Staff in the cities of Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Delta and Surrey have been working on this project, with assistance from the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skill Training, for several months and have invited New Westminster to participate in the pilot project.

Council agreed in principle to participate in the pilot program and directed staff to prepare the bylaws that are needed to implement the program.

“The proposed program is closely modeled after the pilot project implemented by the Fraser Valley municipalities,” stated a staff report.

Businesses operating in more than one municipality require a separate business licence from each jurisdiction, but the Community Charter allows municipalities to collaborate and implement an intermunicipal business licensing program that allows specific types of businesses to buy one licence, allowing them to operate in multiple municipalities, according to the staff report. The pilot project would apply to construction-related businesses.

Under the proposed revenue-sharing model, the City of New Westminster would receive 9.34 per cent of the total revenues from the licences.

“New Westminster is currently generating approximately $85,000 annually from business licences associated with non-resident contractors,” said the report.

“The proposed revenue sharing model is expected to result in a slight increase in revenues (i.e. approximately $2,600).

However, if the program increases compliance by a modest rate of five per cent as is expected, revenues could increase by approximately $15,000.”

New West places program-best

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Last season, New Westminster Hyacks tied a program-best at the B.C. high school track and field championships. This year, the Hyacks went one better.

New West Secondary placed fourth overall – the school program’s best-ever showing since the provincial championship meet was first established in 1967.

Hyack athletes combined for 55 points, including a third overall 37 points from the boys’ team to finish behind B.C. champion Oak Bay, runner-up St. Thomas More and Walnut Grove in the aggregate standings.

Last year, New West finished fifth overall a total of 49 points, tying the athletic program’s previous best finishes achieved in both 1973 and ’74.

“The team was able to maintain its combined team division finish in 2012,” said Christine McNulty, who along with Bryan MacMaster helped prepare the team for the high school meets. “They worked hard during the season and it paid off at these championships.”

Raquel Tjernagel earned all of New West’s points on the girls’ side, outsprinting Burnaby’s Zion CorralesNelson to the tape 24.30 in the 200 metres run Friday at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley. The following day, the Hyack junior runner placed runner-up behind Corrales-Nelson in a fast 55.45 time in the 400.

Both times were personal bests for Tjernagel.

Kevin Hill/THE RECORD

Sub 15: New Westminster’s Mihailo Stefanovic raced to a gold medal in the 110 metre hurdles at the B.C. high school track and field meet in Langley.

“We have a little competition going,” said Tjernagel. “My goal was to start as hard as I could and finish hard. I just tried to

pretend that everyone was chasing me.”

Grade 11 student Mihailo Stefanovic placed in four events, including

beating training partner Bogdan Pavel for the gold medal in the boys’ 110m hurdles.

Stefanovic clocked a

sub 15 second 14.96, while Pavel was second in 15.19.

“It was good until the second last hurdle. I hit it with my trailing leg and then my buddy won,” said Pavel.

Stefanovic, Pavel, Ethan Strome and Simon Rokeby also teamed for a silver medal in the 4x100m relay.

Stefanovic also placed fifth in the 200m and sixth in the triple jump after passing on his last two jumps with a sore heel.

“I could have done better,” he said.

Strome also placed fifth in the 400m.

The STM Knights won a first-ever provincial banner in the boys’ team aggregate, placing a trackprogram best runner-up behind Oak Bay in the overall team standings on Saturday.

Not since 1989, when STM great Peter Ogilvie led an all-boys’ team to fourth place overall, has the small Burnaby independent school fared better at the annual end-ofschool meet.

“I’m just so proud of them. It’s a storybook ending for our seniors,” said Knights track coach David Mattiazzo. “This (result) was won during practice. The program is the strength of our seniors. It was a special group.”

Giovanni Trasolini and Sebastian Adugalski capped a five-year high school career together, earning back-to-back gold medals in the 4x100 and 4x400m relays, while also matching the other with a bronze medal in an individual event. ◗STM Page 26

System shines against sputtering Adanacs

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Just one week after being schooled by Victoria, the New Westminster Salmonbellies played teacher/student to near-perfection against a lacklustre Coquitlam Adanacs.

New Westminster dominated their crosstown rival 14-6 at Queen’s Park Arena on May 30.

The senior A Salmonbellies blanked the A’s 3-0 in the opening 20 minutes, causing a weak-looking Coquitlam team all measure of problems progressing the ball out of its own end.

The second period began with a flurry of counters in the first four minutes, but New West took over

scoring four unanswered markers to take a 10-3 advantage into the locker room.

“Our offence did a great job of pressuring the ball,” said second star and No. 3 overall draft pick Jeff Cornwall. “When we’re clicking like that, it’s a lot of fun to watch.”

New West built a lead of 133 before the game became a little chippy – likely owing to the ’Bellies relentless intervention in disrupting Coquitlam’s rhythm.

Should New West be able to play that style at a higher tempo, it might well prove very effective against the Western Lacrosse Association’s better teams.

“At this level, you seldom see (the press). But our guys – every-

one is here doing it for the guy beside him. That’s why we’re able to do it,” said Cornwall, who doubled his WLA goal production to date with a pair of tallies in last Thursday’s win. “That’s our strength, and we’re going to get better.”

Rookies Logan Schuss and Keegan Bal led the senior ’Bellies with five points apiece.

Neil Tyacke got his second win of the season, earning a third star nod with a 30-save performance.

Jordan McBride and Curtis Hodgson both scored twice in multi-point nights.

Captain Nenad Gajic tallied four points, including the eventual game-winning goal.

Dane Dobbie had a hat trick for

the Adanacs.

With the win, New Westminster improved its record to 2-2, while the good news story of 2013, Maple Ridge, joined the Victoria Shamrocks atop the WLA loop with identical 4-1 records, following a 13-10 victory at home over the Vancouver Island club on Sunday.

Langley currently holds down third place with a 3-1 record.

This Thursday, the Salmonbellies test the mettle of the upstart Burrards for the first time this season at Queen’s Park Arena. Game time is 7:45 p.m.

The two teams will meet again on Sunday in Maple Ridge as part of a weekend home-and-home series.

Best BNW finish in decades

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Not since 1974, have two Burnaby/New Westminster schools made such an impact on the B.C. high school track and field championships.

St. Thomas More College placed second in the overall team aggregate – it’s best-ever showing at the B.C.s since the provincials were first held in 1967.

New Westminster Secondary School placed fourth overall, the district’s best multi-team showing in almost four decades since Burnaby Central won the team event over Mount Douglas, Burnaby South and New Westminster in 1974.

The Knights boys’ team also won the school’s firstever provincial track and field title, ensuring the school of the banner with a gold-medal-winning run in the final event of the meet – the 4x400 metre relay.

Collectively Burnaby and New West schools garnered a total of six gold medals, five silver and four bronze, including three involving relays.

STM proved the big winner with nine medals, including a memorable girls’ 400m finish between Burnaby’s Zion Corrales-Nelson and Raquel Tjernagel of NWSS – won by the Grade 9 STM sprinter.

New West amassed five medals, including gold medals from Tjernagel in the 200m and Mihailo Stefanovic in the boys’ 110m hurdles over runnerup and schoolmate Bogdan Pavel.

Burnaby South’s Ahmad Nizamani also won an individual gold in the boys’ long jump, outdistancing the competition with the eighth-longest winning leap ever in the 47-year history of the provincial high school meet.

One junior Burnaby runner described STM’s first track and field banner as a relief to finally achieve it – STM’s coach called the accomplishment a storybook ending for the school’s seniors.

STM: It’s a dream come true N.W. Salmonbellie juniors reeling in the big ones

◗ continued from page 25

Trasolini placed third in the boys’ 200m and eighth in the 100m sprint, while Adugalski was third in the 400m hurdles and seventh in the 400m.

But while winning the school’s second thirdstraight 400m relay gold and a record eighth overall on Friday night was a highlight, earning STM’s first gold in the 4x4 since the Ogilvie glory days was perhaps even sweeter.

“That’s the way we dreamed of ending our B.C. high school careers,” said an exhausted Adugalski directly after running the winning anchor leg. “It’s a dream come true. It’s more than we could have asked for.”

Mattiazzo had other adjectives to describe the inspiring effort.

“That was 100 per cent heart,” Mattiazzo said of the team’s 3:25.83 winning effort. “(Sebastian) doing three 400s in one day is unheard of at any level, and finding something inside to keep going is just inspirational.” tberridge@burnabynow. com

Giovanni Trasolini, who won a bronze medal in the boys’ 200m, an eighth-place ribbon in the 100m and two relay gold, perhaps captured the mood best.

“It’s been a great five years,” said the

multi-sport athlete. “(The banner) will be up in our gym, and I’ll be able to look at if for years to come. I’ll just relive this moment in my head, and hopefully that moment will last forever.”

Good things ahead for district up-and-coming track athletes

The New Westminster Salmonbellies are knocking off the league leaders – one by one.

For a second straight B.C. Junior Lacrosse League game, the junior A Salmonbellies pulled off a mild league upset, handing the Victoria Shamrocks a 13-10 defeat on the Island last Saturday.

The win, New West’s second in a row over a top nationally ranked club, came less than two weeks after a 13-9 loss in Langley back in May. The junior ’Bellies responded to that loss with an 11-10 victory over the same Langley club at home earlier last week.

But Saturday’s win over Victoria, currently ranked third in the nation, lifted the Queen’s Park pack into a third-place tie with Langley and Coquitlam just two points back of league leaders Langley and Delta.

After spotting the hometown Shamrocks an early 2-0 lead, Quinn Smith sparked a five-goal

reply, with his first of four goals in the game at the eight-minute mark of the first period.

Daniel Perreault, Connor Robinson, Anthony Malcom and Josh Byrne followed suit, scoring a goal apiece in five-minute span to give the visitors a lead they would not relinquish.

Luke Gillespie opened the second period with his seventh tally of the year.

Chris Nasato gave New West a five-goal bulge on a second power-play counter following a five-minute high sticking penalty to Victoria.

Robinson re-established New West’s fivegoal advantage midway through the final frame with his ninth of the year.

Frank Scigliano stopped 32 shots in goal to register the win.

Cody Hagedorn was busy in the Victoria net, handling 58 Salmonbellie shots.

Malcom and Byrne led all scorers with a goal and four helpers apiece in a game that all but two New West runners registered at least a point in the all-

important win. “(The league) is very close. Every game is important – every point counts,” Victoria captain Brody Eastwood said.

“It’s competitive. It keeps the games competitive. …

Those first two spots are important.”

Despite its two most significat victories of the season, New West moved up just one spot in the suspect Subway national weekly rankings.

A closer look at some numbers might indicate New West is undervalued at No. 8.

The Salmonbellies’ 115 goals for and 90 against is almost identical to that of the first-place Shamrocks.

As well, the team sports one of the league’s lowest penalty minutes.

On special teams, New West boasts a league-best 32 power-play goals – nine markers more than Delta’s next best mark.

The Salmonbellies also rank second in shorthanded goals with 10, just one behind the leader.

New West played Burnaby on Tuesday (after The Record deadlines).

New Westminster sports briefs Adrienne Juni and Andrew Oxtoby of Burnaby earned two of the 12 scholarships handed out by the B.C. Soccer Association last week.

Besides playing the beautiful game, Juni has refereed for the past six seasons, as well as squeezing in coaching duties with the Burnaby Girls under-11 Thunderbolts.

Oxtoby plays, coaches and mentors young players at the Wesburn youth club and aspires to be a goalkeeper coach one day.

All 12 recipients will be recognized at an MLS game between the Vancouver

Whitecaps and the New England Revolution on Saturday, June 15.

A Real Estate Minute

Honest answers to your real estate questions.

Q. Are more ‘subject to sale’

Derrick Thornhill

offers being accepted in our current market?

Park Georgia Realty

648 6th Street New Westminster

A.

Yes, due to the lack of sales sellers are looking seriously at subject to sale offers.

If you are moving up in the market, it may be easier to sell your current home than the home you are considering purchasing.

Simple math, there are more buyers for the home worth $600k than the home pushing $1 million. As a seller we all hope to find the buyer who has sold their home and is shopping for their next. However, if that buyer has not emerged after a month or so, it may be a wise decision to look at a ‘subject to sale’ offer from a home owner moving up in the market. Word of caution, once you accept such an offer you really have taken your home off the market and have hooked your wagon to the sell ability of the Buyer’s home. Ensure that home is marketable.

Hot Tip #27 ‘Subject to sale’ offers are still a last resort!

Q.

We looked at a home the other day and it had a sump thing in the basement. There was lots of water in it. Why is there water inside the home? Is this a sign of a wet basement.

A.

We are all terrified about potential water problems in the basement, especially in older homes. In New Westminster thousands of homes across all age groups were built with an internal gravity fed sump in the basement. This sump collects all the water coming off your roof and deposits it in this cement containment area. Once the water reaches a certain level it will flow out towards the City’s sewer line by gravity. There is a one way check valve that stops any potential back up in the City’s sewer system from entering your home. The problem is, that check valve is as old as your home and may easily malfunction when needed most.

Moving this sump outside your home before costly basement renovations is a great idea.

It may have kept the current owners home trouble free for years but Murphy’s law says as soon as you build your expensive media room it will malfunction.

Hot Tip #28

Move that sump outside!

Q&A: B.C.’S HOME

WARRANTY INSURANCE

What types of homes aren’t covered by home warranty insurance?

Homes not required to carry home warranty insurance include those built by owners; manufactured homes (mobile homes and factory-built units); floating homes; non-stratified hotels, motels, dormitories and care facilities; multi-unit rental buildings where the sale of any individual unit is restricted by a 10-year covenant registered against the title; and social housing.

How does home warranty insurance protect homeowners?

The warranty protects homeowners from a range of construction defects related to materials and labour for designated periods of time:

What is home warranty insurance?

In short, it’s Canada’s strongest construction defect insurance. Since July 1, 1999, all new single-family and multi-family homes built for sale in B.C. have been required by law to carry mandatory third-party home warranty insurance for construction defects.

While independent insurance companies provide this coverage, the Homeowner Protection Act sets minimum standards of coverage, commencement dates, exclusions and limits to ensure a consistent level of consumer protection.

• Two years on labour and materials for defects related to delivery and distribution systems (such as electrical or plumbing). For general materials and labour defects, coverage is for 12 months on detached homes and non-common property in strata units (including fee-simple homes), and for 15 months on common property of strata buildings.

• Five years on building envelope defects (including water penetration). This covers components that separate the indoors from the outdoors, such as exterior walls, foundation, roof, windows and doors.

• Ten years on labour and materials defects that result in failure of a load-bearing part of the home, or causes structural damage.

What is excluded from the coverage?

The warranty does not cover everything in a new home. Coverage may exclude: • Design, materials or labour supplied by the owner or someone other than the builder or their workers or subtrades, • Landscaping, • Non-residential detached structures (e.g. garages, amenity buildings), • Commercial use areas, • Roads, curbs and lanes (but walkways and driveways are covered), • Site grading and surface drainage, except as required by the Building Code,

If you’re in the market for a new home or recently purchased one, you’ve likely heard about home warranty insurance – also called the 2-5-10 warranty, third-party warranty or mandatory warranty.

• The operation of municipal services, • Septic tanks and fields, and • Sater quality and quantity.

Some specific defects may also be excluded, such as: • Normal wear and tear, • Normal shrinkage of materials from construction, • Defects arising from non-residential uses of the home, • Damage caused by anyone other than the builder, • Damage caused by insects or rodents, • Failure of an owner to prevent or minimize damage, • Acts of nature, and failure to carry out proper maintenance.

What are the limits on coverage?

Coverage offered on claims is the lesser of $200,000 or the first owner’s purchase price for fee-simple single-family homes, and the lesser of $100,000 or the first owner’s purchase price for strata homes.

For common strata property, coverage is limited to the lesser of $100,000 times the number of units, or $2.5 million per building.

When does coverage begin?

Coverage starts either when the new home is first occupied, or when the title of the new home is transferred to the first owner.

Because the warranty applies to the home and not the owner, it remains active if the house or unit is sold within the warranty period.

Where can I learn more?

Read your policy thoroughly for coverage details. More information can be found on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) web-

site, www.hpo.bc.ca, in the Homeowners and Builders & Developers sections and in the HPO’s free downloadable Guide to Home Warranty Insurance in British Columbia.

You can also search or download the HPO’s free Residential Construction Performance Guide at www.hpo.bc.ca for more information.
