Will new school be ready?

Bus pass cut means more hardship for city woman

Fraser River Middle School was delayed for a year, and now crews are hard at work to get it finished for September opening

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Karla Olson is speechless – not because she doesn’t have the words but because she is fighting back tears – when describing her feelings about changes to bus passes for persons with disabilities. Earlier this year, the provincial government announced it was eliminating the annual $45 bus pass for people with disabilities and is increasing the monthly allowance for people with disabilities by $77 a month. A monthly transit pass is $52, which results in a $25 monthly increase to people with disabilities. “I guess my question is, is it a reasonable expectation that $25 will cover all the increases in costs that have been occurring over nine years to one’s basic living requirement?” said the New West resident. “It’s not.” According to the province’s website, beginning Sept. 1, people receiving disability assistance who have the “persons with disabilities” designation have the option of keeping a bus pass and receiving a $25 monthly increase or cancelling their bus pass and receiving a transportation support payment of $52 and a $25 monthly increase. While the government’s plan will result in a monthly increase of $25 to $77 a month, depending on whether individuals get a transit pass, Olson said it highlights the fact that people with disabilities haven’t had increases to their monthly rates for nine years and basic living costs continue to rise. Olson, who suffers from a number of chronic conditions and is in physical pain daily, said the smallest of things can put her into “crisis mode,” so she’s stressed about the impact of the changes that take effect Sept. 1.

With three weeks left before students head back to school, the New Westminster school district has its fingers crossed its newest school will be ready to go. Crews at Fraser River Middle School are putting the final touches on the new school, including paving and landscaping the site so it’s ready come September. “The goal is to have it done.We have three weeks, and the plan is to have it all done.These guys work miracles, but right now I’m being told by my facilities director that we’re going to be very close to finished,” district superintendent Pat Duncan told the Record. The new middle school was originally scheduled to open last September, but in January 2015, the district chose to postpone the opening date by one year to ensure the school would be completely ready for students when it opened. Duncan said the district’s main goal is to avoid a repeat of what happened when École Qayqayt Elementary School opened in September 2014. Construction at the new downtown elementary school was incomplete when school started. It was

CITY FUN

First ever Recovery Day Festival set for city It’s a celebration of people who get their lives back together again after addictions and find recovery and healing By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Bif Naked will be headlining the first ever Recovery Day Festival in New Westminster. The Recovery Day Vancouver Society is hosting the fifth annual Recovery Day B.C., which features a street festival in uptown New Westminster on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 2 to 6 p.m. Along

with a performance by Naked and her full rock show, the festival will feature a family/kids zone, a street fair with more than 40 vendors and service providers discussing recovery options, local entertainment such as the R&B All Stars and a wellness centre that includes TEDx style speakers discussing the many pathways to recovery. Recovery Day B.C. aims to celebrate Canadians in recovery with

the purpose of “ending the stigma” and showing that people do recover from addiction and families can heal. “A lot of people, when they think of addiction, they think of homeless people and donating to the downtown eastside, when really that’s the smallest percentage of addiction. It’s the most visible,” said Giuseppe Ganci, chair of the Recovery Day board. “Addiction

is in the working class families as well.This is a celebration of people who get their lives back together again and find recovery.” The society has held a Recovery Day rally in Vancouver for the past five years, but this is the group’s first street festival. New Westminster, home to some well-known recovery programs and numerous 12-step meetings, seemed to be the perfect place to hold the fes-

tival. “New West is considered the recovery capital of Canada. Recovery Day was kind of losing its steam so a couple of us in New West took the event and turned it into what it could be,” Ganci told the Record. “Now, it has turned into a street festival. It’s got all the excitement and craziness and Continued on page 7

Friday, August 19

6:00PM

6:00 pm on August 29, 2016 in Council Chamber City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7862, 2016 (415 AND 444 EAST COLUMBIA STREET) PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The City of New Westminster has proposed a housekeeping amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to allow pharmacies within the C-CD-3 and C-2L zoning districts. The proposed amendment would aﬀect two properties at 415 and 444 East Columbia Street. WHAT IS THIS AMENDMENT ABOUT? All commercial retail zoning districts within New Westminster permit the operation of pharmacies. However, the site speciﬁc zoning for the subject properties, 415 and 444 East Columbia Street, currently does not. A housekeeping amendment has been proposed to correct this and make the subject sites congruent with adjacent commercial retail properties by including pharmacies as a permitted use. HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity. ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Division at City Hall 10 days prior to the Public Hearing, August 15, 2016 to August 29, 2016.

City School district expects new school will be ready to open Continued from page 1 missing playgrounds, a gym and work was still being done on the building’s exterior.When the district asked parents to reflect on the experience, they told the district it made for a stressful and difficult beginning. The decision to delay the middle school’s opening, however, prompted the contractor to back off the project for a bit, knowing they had more time to get everything done, Duncan said. The district had hoped the school would be ready early so teachers could have transitioned to the new facili-

ty at the end of the 2015/16 school year, but that didn’t happen.

It would have been nice, in a perfect world, if we were in at the end of June

“It would have been nice, in a perfect world, if we were in the end of June so that teachers who are mov-

ing there could have had a chance to get to their classrooms, but those are issues that are beyond my control and in the hands of the contractors,” Duncan said. Despite his disappointment, Duncan said the district was set to get access to the school this week with teachers expected to arrive sometime the week of Aug. 29, which should make for a seamless transition come September, he added. “We fully expect that when families and children arrive on Tuesday that their school is going to be up and ready,” he said.

oh-my-god factors that a new festival should have.” The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse and the National Recovery Advisory Committee will be attending the event to share a preview of key findings from a Canadian survey examining life in recovery in Canada.The survey gathered information on life experiences of individuals in recovery from addiction to alcohol and drugs, including the personal journeys and differing pathways that exist for Canadians. A press release about Recovery Day states that the organizations are sharing the preview of the survey’s findings as a first step to building a deeper understanding and compassion for people living through addiction and recovery.The development of the Survey of Life in Recovery from Addiction in Canada is part of the Recovery Day Vancouver Society’s ongoing efforts to bring people and organizations together to build awareness, challenge social stigma and celebrate the role that recovery plays in improving the lives of individuals, families and communities. The festival will take place in the area around Sixth Avenue/Sixth Street and Belmont streets on Saturday, Sept. 10.

Opinion OUR VIEW

A festival to help break the silence If you were only going to watch Bif Naked perform, it would be well worth it. But there are a lot more reasons to drop by the Recovery Festival on Sept. 10 in New Westminster. It’s not the first time there’s been a recovery festival – this is the sixth one held in B.C. since its inception. But it is the first time in NewWest. It’s a terrific concept and a great contradiction to the stigma around addictions. The goal, of course, is to

celebrate recovery and model hope for those who are facing the battle with an addiction, or multiple addictions. Like cancer, few families have escaped the impact of addictions. Drugs, alcohol, eating, gambling, shopping, exercise – the “item” the addiction attaches to can be almost anything. But the hold that an addiction has on people can be paralyzing. Families are torn apart, homes are lost, and, of course, addictions can lead

to death. There is usually no talking someone out of an addiction. By the time someone is truly addicted to a behaviour or substance, the road back to recovery can be rough and long. And one of the hurdles those addicted and their families face is the tremendous stigma attached to being labelled “addicted.” It is still seen as a sign of weakness or lack of self-discipline. It is still considered shameful and something to

Until we can look at addictions as we look at diseases such as cancer, the stigma will continue to keep people silenced and isolated ... be kept secret. Indeed, until we can look at addictions as we look at diseases such as cancer, the stigma will continue to keep people silenced and isolated. And that will only encour-

age the feelings of hopelessness and reinforce the cycle of addiction. A festival to celebrate a day of recovery is just the right thing to remind people that they have allies in

this fight.That no one is immune from addictions or the impact of addictions on others.That there are people who will listen and share your pain, but who will also celebrate your successes. NewWestminster is a great town to have this kind of festival in. It’s home to quite a few recovery centres, and its political leaders and citizens understand that a community is only strong if it knows compassion and acts to help others.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Cash cows are running dry Despite increasingly loud calls from various quarters to stop doing it, don’t expect the B.C. Liberal government (or any subsequent government, for that matter) to willingly stop using Crown corporations as cash cows. But we may be approaching the day when a B.C. government may not have any choice other than to stop the practice. Governments everywhere are increasingly desperate for more and more revenues to fund a steadily rising demand for services – particularly in health care – yet are loath to take the once-traditional route and raise income taxes. So they turn to things like fees and premiums and government-owned entities like Crown corporations, which can kick money back to central government even if their own bottom lines suggest they can’t afford to do that. For Exhibits A and B, I give you the Insurance Corporation of B.C. and B.C. Hydro. Between them, B.C. Hydro and ICBC are forecast to give the provincial government hundreds of millions of dollars a year over the next three years, despite the fact that their own financial pictures are darkening. For example, B.C. Hydro now expects to receive about $3.5 billion less revenue over the next 10 years than was forecast just last year.The dramatic drop in commodity prices has had a significant impact on many of its industrial custom-

ers (such as mines) so not as much power will be purchased by them. As well, B.C. Hydro has yet to demonstrate it can pay down its many “deferral accounts,” which are expenses to be paid off at a later date, rather like a credit card. In fact, instead of hitting its target of reducing those accounts, B.C. Hydro has allowed them to grow by a further $1.1 billion. Yet the provincial government has told the Crown corporation it still must fork over more than $2 billion to central government over the next three years. As for ICBC, it is facing serious financial pressures that look to worsen over time. Its compulsory basic insurance plan lost $256 million in 2015 and $450 million had to be transferred from its more popular optional policy plan to cover for it. Rick McCandless, a veteran retired senior civil servant, has done an analysis of ICBC’s financial situation. He notes that claims cost are rising by leaps and bounds, that low interest rates are hurting ICBC’s huge bond assets and, perhaps most importantly, the corporation’s capital reserves are in danger of dropping to dangerous levels. McCandless describes the two Crown corporations as ticking financial time bombs. If he’s right, they can’t be used as cash cows much longer. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Working together can bring about change

Community mourns Peter Corbeil’s death

Dear Editor On June 2, I met with Lori Nicks in my constituency office to discuss her concerns with recent changes to the C3 community shuttle that previously went up Richmond Street. Changes to the route mean that people in that area are forced to walk up a long and steep hill to access bus service. We agreed that the best course of action was for me as MLA to organize a community meeting and invite representatives from TransLink to hear directly from residents affected by the changes. On a warm evening in June, over 90 people showed up to voice their concerns. TransLink sent three representatives and the City of New Westminster also sent two of their key transportation staff. It was clear that the neighbourhood felt strongly about the changes and weren’t going to accept solutions that would only take effect in late 2017. Community members were also vocal about their concerns with TransLink’s process of public consultation. Many seniors present said they were unaware of public meetings that were organized in other neighbourhoods and were unable to participate in online consultations because of lack of internet access or unfamiliarity navigating the internet. To their credit, the TransLink representatives acknowledged that their consultation efforts in relating to the route changes did not reach some key customers of the C3 route and promised to do better. Just over a week later, I received a letter from the CEO of TransLink saying they had heard the community loud and clear. “The June 27th meeting provided valuable insights about what is important to our (TransLink) customers,” Kevin Desmond wrote. The TransLink CEO went on to say: “TransLink and the City of New Westminster are working together to implement the recommended C9 routing by early September 2016. This routing will restore transit access on Richmond Street. This routing requires a new bus-only turn signal to be installed at Cumberland Street and Columbia Street and an additional vehicle to be assigned to the route. This vehicle will be available in September when we (TransLink) take delivery of new buses. If the traffic signal is not implemented by September, we (TransLink) have a contingency plan that would serve the same spots on Richmond Street, but with a revised interim routing. We (TransLink) will be working closely with the City of New Westminster to achieve timely installation of the signal.” This is certainly good news. And while there is definitely more that needs to be done to improve bus service, this is a striking example of what we can achieve when the community and their elected representatives come together and speak out. I’d like to give an enormous thank you to Lori Nicks for bringing this issue to the forefront and for tirelessly contacting her neighbours. I really appreciate the city sending two key staff members, and I want to thank Coun. Patrick Johnstone for attending and speaking up. To the residents of Richmond Street and the surrounding area – TransLink says you can expect the bus route along Richmond Street by early September of 2016. If there are any delays, you can be sure I will be contacting the CEO of TransLink again on your behalf. Judy Darcy, MLA, New Westminster

R.J. Cairns I remember going to Queens Park Meat with my Dad when we lived in New West. always enjoyed the friendly welcoming atmosphere. My condolences to the Corbeil family. Linda Nygard I lived in a home in the 300 block of 2nd Street as a baby... Very close to the Queen’s Park Meat Market. My mom shopped there in the early 1950s. How very sad. Brad Watson-Davelaar I remember loving the idea of this little meat market in the middle of a residential area. It was so quaint. I finally went in to see what he had and ended up spending twenty minutes talking to him about what would be better for my Crohn’s. It was a great conversation. I love these personal shops. Beyond sad to hear of his passing. Nancy O’Connor I’m saddened to hear of Peter Corbeil’s passing. While I wasn’t a regular customer, he treated me like one and I felt welcome everytime I dropped into Queen’s Park Meat Market. Condolences to Peter’s family. Ian King Sad to hear. Though I was only an occasional customer when we lived in New West, he always had time to serve me well, and his cuts were beyond anyplace else in the city. Corey Rollins I don’t even know what to say. I’m really saddened by this and I wish his family the best. I loved his store and I loved chatting with him. What a great guy. Thank you for everything Peter.

Front Street isn’t part of a traffic solution NewCity Dude 2 Front Street is a single-lane road in both directions. It is hemmed in by two sets of train tracks running parallel on either side to it. Throw in rush hour traffic, the train crossing, 6 new high-rise towers/new hotel all in various levels of development, a major expansion of the park that will incorporate the hotel you’ll appreciate how and why Front Street can never be part of the solution to traffic woes. There’s just no more capacity. Besides that I’m not familiar with any city in the world that would bisect their crown jewel with a truck route running through it - which is what the waterfront is fast becoming. This area is hugely popular with families and connectivity and safety is paramount. But that’s a moot point considering that corridor can not be expanded for traffic anyway. Only way that could ever happen is by either encapsulating the train tracks or having an underground tunnel - the cost for those options is staggering. This is why that option isn’t on the table.

needs or having a monthly bus pass.” New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy said persons with disabilities get a monthly housing allowance of $375 and face rising costs for the necessities of life such as food and accommodations. “Affordability of daily life is crushing for people right now,” she said. “It’s getting steadily worse, especially because of the cost of housing, but also there’s so many things happening at the same time.” Darcy, the NDP’s health critic, fears people with disabilities could become more isolated if they don’t buy a monthly bus pass. She said that choosing whether to use the money for a bus pass or other necessities of life is one additional stressor for people who live with challenges. “Supporting people with disabilities upstream prevents greater costs for health care downstream,” she said. “I don’t think there’s any question about that for the general health care system

as well as the impact on her finances. With little money to spare, Olson plans to cancel her bus pass and gamble that she’ll spend less than $52 a month on individual fares. A coalition of groups like Inclusion B.C. and the Disability Alliance of B.C. have spoken out against the changes and called for increases to payments to persons with disabilities. Olson wrote a three-page letter to B.C. Minister of Social Development Michelle Stilwell last week, in which she stated the province hasn’t increased the disabilities allowance for nine years. In that time costs for rent, food, clothing, electricity, insurance and health-care supplements and support have continued to rise. “Having only a $25 increase to the supplement is simply not enough,” she wrote. “By increasing my costs to access public transportation, the ‘choice’ you have offered me is between paying for my basic survival

Continued from page 1 “For people like me, whose disabilities can vary, having the bus pass with me provides me with security,” said Olson, who volunteers on two city committees. “It also gives me options.There are times I will go out, knowing that I can always come home by the bus. I have taken walks with my (walking) poles for exercise and I’ve had to come home on the bus. For me it’s very successful in providing opportunities to connect with my community in many ways.The bigger picture for me is also having access to health care.” Since Olson began getting the bus pass about nine years ago, she said it’s allowed her to get to medical appointments, community events she might not otherwise be able to attend and, most recently, a part-time job in Kitsilano. For people like herself who have cognitive issues as part of their physical disabilities, she said the bus pass takes away the stress of thinking about fares, zones and time limits,

Peter Corbeil, the friendly face behind the counter at the now-closed Queens Park Meat Market, has died. The 53-year-old father of two passed away suddenly on Tuesday, Aug. 2 from natural causes, according to his wife Cathy. “We had a lot of good laughs with customers that became friends,” she said. “He’ll be sadly missed.” In June, Corbeil announced he was closing his butcher shop at 402 Second St. in order to do some travelling and for a “change of lifestyle.” He didn’t know where he was headed, only suggesting he was going out east. He had been at the helm of the nearly 100-year-old business since 1998 after taking over the reins from his predecessor, Eric Davies. Corbeil first picked up a cleaver when he was 21. After a stint in the navy, a Burnaby master butcher took him under his wing and taught him the craft. Prior to owning Queens Park Meat Market, he

I can’t say enough about him.We held fundraisers at the castle and Pete won two or three of them and donated all the money back to the charity,” said Toor. “Not only was he a patron, he was a friend as well.” Marcel Schaubs, another patron of the pub who knew Corbeil, described him as having “good moral character,” “a standup guy” and “hardworking.” “He’s a really gentle fellow.We had a lot in common,” Schaubs said. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, Aug. 19 at St. Peter’s Church (at the corner of Royal Avenue and Fourth Street), at 2 p.m. All are welcome.

People PROFILE

Bruno Bersani

Occupation VOLUNTEER Why is he in the news? For 33 years, Bruno Bersani has been the face of the New Westminster Police Department’s volunteer program. He joined the department at a time when the city was facing a spike in street crime. The police department was in need of volunteers to keep an eye out for criminal activity on Friday and Saturday nights when officers were swamped with calls. Bersani and a partner, another volunteer, would patrol the streets of New Westminster at night, keeping watch over the city. He also conducted home security checks within the community and has run speed watch initiatives.

How did you first get started with the New Westminster Police Department? Well, there was a seminar going down at the Canada Games Pool community centre, so I went down to see and listen, and the police chief was talking and he said the crime in New Westminster was increasing and the police department cannot do it alone, we need help. And that sparked the flame. So what did you do first? First of all we had to fill out the form and be cleared by the police. At that time, we didn’t have any training so the first time we went out, it was just a briefing by the police officer in charge. What did he ask you to do? Watch for BNEs (breakand-enters), I remember that, and I said, ‘What the hell is a BNE?’

Today, Bersani, who was a cabinet maker before he retired, spends most of his time at community events, greeting residents and kids. On the weekdays, he can be found at the detachment building toy patrol cars to hand out at events. The Record dropped by the office early one morning to speak with Bersani about his time as a volunteer for the police department. The interview was first thing in the morning because he was scheduled to take part in a ride-along right after – as you’ll read below, this 88-year-old has no intention of slowing down just yet. – Cayley Dobie

So you were on patrol? Yeah.We were going around New Westminster in two per car, and every shift we were three or four cars out. Of just volunteers? Yeah. Sometimes there’d be five. So you were out at night? Yeah at night from 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock in the morning. What was it like? We’d just look around to see if anything had happened and then, if there was, we’d call the police. … We had to report so many things in the beginning and as the time went on, it was becoming less and less. And at the end, a few years ago when I still was going out, we could go out and see nothing all night.Were we becoming blind, I don’t know? (He laughed.) How did you know what to look for? Anything. People breaking into buildings, people trying to break in; … anything that looks suspicious.

What does the crime prevention coordinator have to say about Bruno? Shelley Cole, crime prevention services coordinator, the arm within the New West-

A DEDICATED VOLUNTEER Bruno Bersani, 88, has been a volunteer with the New Westminster Police Department for 33 years. He joined at a time when the city was facing a spike in street crime, and the department was looking for people to help patrol on its busiest nights – Friday and Saturday. More than three decades later, Bersani is still very much the face of the department’s volunteer crew. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE Had you wanted to be a police officer? No. I never thought about being a police officer, but when (I) started, then I said, if I could I would be a police officer, but I guess it wasn’t the case.

Until I can do it, why not? It’s a motivation to get out and do things …

What else did you do as a volunteer? Well, then came up the speed watch, so I was doing that, and home security checks, I was doing that too. Would an officer go with you? No. It was done by two volunteers.

minster Police Department that oversees volunteers, has worked with Bruno Bersani for 16 years. She credits the department’s longest serving volunteer with helping police connect with the community. She even said he had

What was speed watch like? We were in certain locations and we’d put up a board that recorded the speed and we marked it down on the paper, but we were not allowed to do anything or signal people to slow down or whatever. So you just watched? Just watched. … Sometimes we’ll have educational signs like ‘leave the phone alone,’ things like that. What were the home security checks like? Once a house was broken in by some thieves or whatever, then two volunteers went to the family, to the place and told them what to do to secure the house or apartment. What were common things you’d see during the checks? Sometimes the window was left open or doors without a proper lock.

What do you for the police department now? I am building cars. The little toy cars? Haha yeah, or anything that needs to be done in the station – they call me. Why do you keep volunteering? Until I can do it, why not? It’s a motivation to get out and do things, otherwise I’d probably be at home watching TV. In fact, when I come down here, they say, ‘Thank you Bruno for coming,’ and I say, ‘Thank you for having me.’ So you’ll keep volunteering as long as the department will have you? Yeah, yeah. Note:When the Record wrapped up its interview with Bruno, he headed out for a ride-along. So, you’ve gone on ride-alongs before? Tell

a hand in showing her the ropes when she first joined the department. The Record asked Cole about Bersani; here’s what she had to say: “He’s very much part of the community. We wish we had two of him or three of him.

me about one. The second time was absolutely scary.We were in the car, and they called us to go to what would be next to Seventh Avenue where there is the school Herbert Spencer. Well, the street behind that, we were called to a house where they caught two people trying to breakin, and I remember that was Qualia (Const. Peter Qualia), and we went down Sixth Avenue turned left in front of the school and then left on the other street, and he went so fast I really was scared, … and then we went to the house that we were called, and they told me, ‘You stay in the car, don’t get out.’ So they handcuffed two (suspects) and then they brought them to jail. Are you hoping that this morning’s ride-along is that exciting? I don’t think so. Unless I am safe in the car.

He’s definitely just an icon here, and we very much appreciate it. … We take every opportunity we can to thank him and make sure he knows how much we appreciate having him. … Bruno is part of our family; everybody knows Bruno. … He’s just a very special, special person to us here.”

Top spots for ice cream in New West Jennifer Moreau jmoreau@newwestrecord.ca

Summer has most definitely arrived, and that means it’s time to get out and enjoy the best places New Westminster has to offer for ice cream. From Italian gelato to Québécoise classics, the Royal City has something for every palate. Here are our Top 5 local icecream spots.

ANNY’S DAIRY BAR: Anny’s Dairy Bar serves up Québécoise comfort food, and the maple twist cones are a favourite among locals. Anny’s uses soft-serve vanilla ice cream, made with real cream and topped with a swirl of pure maple butter. (For the uninitiated, maple butter is a thick, creamy sauce made from heating maple syrup.There’s no actual butter involved.) Anny’s is a family-run business, well-known for authentic Montreal fare – like poutine and smoked meat sandwiches– and it’s prob-

ably the only place outside Quebec where you can find these maple twist cones. Anny’s is at 722 Sixth St. Hours: Open every day, from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

TRE GALLI GELATO: Are you looking for an authentic Italian gelato experience? Then try Tre Galli Gelato Caffe in River Market. There are two cases of

flavours: one with gelato, the other filled with dairy-free sorbet. We recommend the passion fruit or lime mojito sorbet. On the gelato side, try salted caramel or French

vanilla. Bubble gum and birthday cake are popular with the kids. Tre Galli circulates the flavours so there’s always something new or different to try. At Tre Galli, you buy a ticket at the cashier first, then decide what flavour you want. A single scoop and cone costs $4.65.Tre Galli also serves simple Italian dishes, like pizza and paninis. Tre Galli is in River Market at 810 Quayside Dr. Hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,

seven days a week.

PURDY’S: Purdy’s is famous for chocolates, but did you know they serve the most heavenly ice-cream bars? There are two choices, both made with Island Farms ice cream. The original is a vanilla bar dipped in chocolate and rolled in bits of roasted almonds.The ultimate is where things get a little wild. The same base vanilla Continued on page 18

Not into ice cream? Try frozen yogurt instead Wednesday and Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or Thursdays and Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Continued from page 17 ice-cream bar is dipped in white chocolate first, then dark chocolate – twice – then rolled in almond bits, and the Purdy’s staff do all of this right before your eyes.The original ice-cream bar is $3.55, while the ultimate is $4.55. Purdy’s is in Royal City Centre, at 610 Sixth St. Hours: Monday to

RAIN CITY JUICERY: Everyone’s favourite local juicery is now serving Rocky Point Ice Cream from Port Moody. Rocky Point produces ice cream

in small batches using local ingredients wherever possible. Flavour choices at Rain City include vanilla, salted caramel, blackberry sage, vegan raspberry lime sorbet, and the very popular cookies and cream. Regular cones cost $3:75 for one scoop, $5 for two scoops, or $3 for a kids’ scoop.Waffle cones are $1 extra.They also do ginger beer floats,

starting at $5. Rain City Juicery is at 417 Front St., open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

MENCHIE’S: Menchie’s is frozen yogurt, not ice cream, but it’s still one of the faves among Record readers. Menchie’s operates on a self-serve model, where you pick your frozen yogurt fla-

vour (vanilla chocolate, cake batter or tart are among the choices) and then load up at the toppings bar. Options include bits of cheesecake, cookie dough, blueberries, strawberries, marshmallows and frosted animal cookies. Nutella is the most popular, along with cheesecake pieces, cookie dough, gummy worms and rainbow sprinkles.

Don’t go overboard, because you pay by weight. A typical serving could cost between $5 and $8. Menchie’s is at Columbia Square Plaza, in unit 101, at 1015 Columbia St. Hours are Sunday to Thursday, noon to 10 p.m., or Friday and Saturday, noon to 11 p.m.

“MORREY INFINITI OF BURNABY”

Doggy Fun Day returns to Queen’s Park Aug. 28 Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Dogs of all shapes and sizes will once again be taking over Queen’s Park this month for Doggy Fun Day. The 17th annual event on Sunday, Aug. 28 features contests, entertainment, vendors selling dog supplies or services, veterinarians offering advice, raffles and a 50/50 draw. “It’s a grand old time,” according to organizer Cheryl Rogers. “It’s just a fun day, to help increase and strengthen the bond between dog and their people.” Even if it rains, pooches and their human companions will take part in a host of activities.Those include the seven-legged race (two humans and one dog), the egg-and-spoon race (human holding leashed dog with one hand and an egg in a spoon with the other) and the dog/owner lookalike contest. “It’s funny because some

people will actually put a costume on to make them and their dog look alike, and sometimes dogs and owners start looking like each other. It’s like, ‘I totally can see that,’” says Rogers with a laugh. There’s also the popular bobbing-for-wieners competition where ice cream buckets and margarine containers are filled with water so the meat can float. For entertainment, which

starts at noon, there will be dog agility demos as well as K9 NoseWork (dogs searching for scented items that have been hidden). Doggy Fun Day supports Volunteer Education and Assistance Team for Animals (VEATA).The organization fosters animals for people who may not be able to care for their pets temporarily. There’s no cost to attend the event, which runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Community OUR PAST

Stylish passengers took to river on steamboats On a recent trip aboard B.C. Ferries, we got to thinking about how different the clothing chosen by today’s passengers for their voyage is compared with that worn by the passengers on the early steamboats that sailed between Vancouver Island and the mainland and on up the Fraser River. In those early years of British Columbia, passengers wore a wide variety of suits, jackets, vests, ties, boots and hats, with different levels of formality, definitely changing with the seasons, some ready for

work, others simply part of society.This was the general look for the men. Women wore dresses and skirts, always long, blouses and other tops, jackets and wraps, with striking hats and bonnets and high boots. Again, there were different levels of formality, and dress changed according to the time of year.We could look at more detail but in general, this is the basic look that is captured in images of those times. There was also a much plainer and rougher level of dress related to many of the jobs in the colony and early province. A wonderful description of passengers

IN THE LIBRARY

What do those numbers mean? Unravelling the mysteries of the Dewey Decimal system Nick Rowlands

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

You’ve probably heard of the Dewey Decimal system, but have you ever wondered how library books end up with their specific call numbers? The jumble of numbers and letters on the spine of library books may look like gibberish, but each digit and character has a very specific meaning. Dewey Decimal numbers trace their origins back to the late 1800s when American librarian Melvil Dewey created his system of organizing library books. The system works by using 10 broad subject areas arranged into numbered sections starting with the 000s all the way to the 900s. Within each section, each succeeding number signifies a more specific sub-topic. For example, call numbers that start in the 900s are under the general subject of history and geography. Each number following the ‘9’ corresponds to a more specific topic. Anything in the 940s will have something to do European history and 944 relates to French history specifically. The numbers following the decimal point break

down the topic even further. One of a librarian’s many jobs is to assign a Dewey number to each non-fiction book. After the Dewey number you may find a combination of letters and numbers. This set of characters is called the Cutter and is created using a code for the author’s name.The Cutter typically starts with the first letter of the author’s last name, with the following few letters being assigned a number.This system ensures that books with the same Dewey number will be arranged in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. Recently, the New Westminster Public Library introduced a new system to simplify the Cutter number and make books easier to find. The Cutter number of all new non-fiction books and DVDs is being replaced by the first three letters of the author’s last name and the year of publication. If you’re interested in learning more about library classification, stop by the New Westminster Public Library for a chat.

er between low banks covered with tawny reeds, which looked like tracts of corn land ready for the harvest. “Our fellow passengers were pretty numerous, chiefly miners and of many races. French, German and Spanish were spoken, to say nothing of unmitigated ‘Yankee.’ Most of them had their pack of baggage, consisting of a roll of blankets to the cord of which was slung a frying pan, kettle and oilcan. Some pos-

sessed the luxury of a covering of waterproof cloth to the package. “Every man had his revolver and many a large knife also, hanging from a leather belt. I should say that this mining costume in “highest” style consists of a red shirt (flannel), blue trousers, boots to the knees, and a broad brimmed felt hat, black, grey, or brown, with beard and mustaches ad libitum. “There was also a party of theatrical ladies and gen-

tlemen, one of the former, very pretty.” And so Lady Franklin passed at least some of her time noting her fellow travellers on board a steamboat as she sailed from Victoria to the mainland and up the Fraser River. A part of these travels were on a vessel operated by Captain William Irving and her diary of this time is fun to read.Today we appreciate her observations about her fellow passengers.

Anvil Centre seeks artists in residence

Artistic view: Arts programmer Kristina Fiedrich (front) and arts coordinator Biliana Velkova are encouraging all types of artists and groups to apply for the 2017 artists in residence program at Anvil Centre. There are 12 spots to fill.

New program will open up space for 12 different artists or collectives working in any discipline The Anvil Centre is now accepting applications for its inaugural artists in residence program, which kicks off January 2017. There are 12 spots to fill (one artist or collective for each month) for the self-directed residency, according to arts coordinator Biliana Velkova. During the four-week period, artists can come and go at their leisure, using the Anvil Centre to research, develop and produce new or ongoing bodies of work. “We have state-of-the-art facilities here on the fourth floor,”Velkova told the Record, adding there’s a printing press onsite, a dance studio with a sprung floor and musical rooms. Each studio is equipped with furniture, sinks, power outlets and a built-in sound system, she said. Artists who get a residency will also be able to access secure office and storage space.The only expense to the artist,Velkova noted, is materials related to their craft. Anvil Centre is looking for all types of artists – local and regional – and collaborative groups, working in mediums such as sculpture, print, fibre, drawing, painting, writing and literary arts, music and dance. Velkova said the city wanted to launch the program for a couple of reasons. First, there’s a need for studio space, not only in New West, but also “across the board.” Many creative minds don’t have a dedicated environment, often using their kitchen table or base-

ment to work in, she said. The intent was to also attract locals to the downtown building. In exchange for being able to use the cultural hub on Columbia Street, artists have to facilitate an outreach program sometime during their monthlong stint. “Something like a painting demo, a studio visit,” Velkova explained. “It’s a chance for the community to see an artist at work and find out more in depth about their process, their concepts and their way of thinking.” Once the program gets going, staff want to organize an exhibit at Anvil Centre, featuring the artists’ work.

We have stateof-the-art facilities here on the fourth ﬂoor

As for applications,Velkova isn’t sure how many she’ll get, but she said she’s hoping for a diverse number. By the end of 2017, should the program gel well with the rest of Anvil Centre’s offerings, it might become an annual occurrence. The deadline to apply is Nov. 15. Applicants need to submit, in one PDF document, a project summary and bio, a detailed project proposal and outreach program, a current CV and a minimum of five images of past work.

Anita Dunn, owner of Mila + Paige at 45 Sixth St., opened the doors to her clothing boutique earlier this year. She had left a 10year career as an accountant to pursue the fashion endeavour and get back to her creative side. Rather than throw a grand opening bash at the store to turn a profit, Dunn has organized a fashion show for Aug. 25 at 100 Braid St. Studios to show off her fall line. “It’s meant for people to get all the girls together, get dressed up and have a fun night out,” she told the Record. Dunn said her goal is make this an annual event the community can get excited about, especially locals who usually travel outside the city for their entertainment. “So many people are moving to New West, espe-

cially in the downtown area, people that used to live in Vancouver.They’re missing that part of the Vancouver night life where you could just go to a club or lounge or the art gallery. “They’re moving to New West because it’s more affordable, yet there’s not a lot of that happening here yet. I want to see New West become a fun city not only to live in, but to hang out in,” she added. Tickets to the fashion show cost $25 and include a glass of bubbly and hors d’oeuvres (there will be a

cash bar, too). A hairstylist and a makeup artist will be doing demos between runway breaks. Attendees will also get a chance to win some prizes, learn how to wear an outfit three different ways and how to tone up their arms for that little black dress. The artists of 100 Braid St. Studios will also be on hand to chat and answer questions about their art. To buy tickets, visit tiny url.com/hmlq62l or drop into Mila + Paige. Doors open at 7 and the event wraps up at 10 p.m.

EXTINGUISHING THE BLAZE Firefighters averted an explosive situation by preventing flames from spreading to propane tanks at Taiga Forest Products in Queensborough in August 1993. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to one building and prevent it from spreading to the lumber yard, but that didn’t stop curiosity seekers and camera buffs from around the Lower Mainland from following the smoke to Queensborough to join locals at the fire scene.

TESTIMONIAL:

“Bryn Ward recently helped us buy our first home, and was amazing to work with throughout the process. Although we were unsure of exactly what we wanted, Bryn was patient and didn’t pressure us, showing a variety of homes to help us figure out our needs. We received her personal attention on a daily basis, and she was always available for questions and advice. Despite being a highly successful Realtor, she made us feel we were her only clients. Bryn was quick to get us in on opportunities before they were listed publicly, and ultimately helped us find a great fit in our ideal neighbourhood. She helped guide us through the purchase process, saving us significant money, time, and stress with her keen insights and negotiation skills.” ~ Christine & Sara

Splash of colour brings new life to playground Julie MacLellan FAMILY TIES

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

If you’ve been to Moody Park lately, you’ll have noticed the colourful addition to the washroom building by the playground. And if you’ve been wondering, those lovely murals were brought to you courtesy of a Paint NewWest Beautiful event that was held on July 23 and 24. Artist Mari Posa (Maria Trujillo) created the design, and local painters – kids and adults, amateurs and professionals alike – had a chance to take up their brushes and fill in the colours. The event was hosted by Nadine Nakagawa and Mary Trentadue, with funding from aVancouver Foundation Neighbourhood Small Grant and support from the NewWestminster Arts Council. And, as a frequent parkgoer (my small human happens to be rather addicted to the playground), I have to say the bright and beautiful

Bellies’ season on the brink of extinction

Maple Ridge capitalizes early to put NewWest’s back against the wall inWLA best-of-seven semifinal Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

For a species in distress, salmon would know something about going against the odds. The ones that survive from fryhood to smolt-dom and leave for the great ocean voyage, to return to the river they came from, have ran an Olympic-cycle gamut. What lays ahead for the New Westminster Salmonbellies – wholly dependent upon what happened Wednesday night (past the Record’s deadline) at the hands of the Maple Ridge Burrards in Game 5 of their Western Lacrosse Association semifinal showdown – is a trifle in comparison. But the Bellies are showing signs of distress, too. Coming on the heels of Monday’s disappointing 10-9 loss in Maple Ridge, which put the Bellies down 3-1 in the series and on the brink of elimination, there were many questions. For a team that went 14 games without a loss, after starting the season 0-3, a mere three-game run should be child’s play – right? “It’s a matter of executing. I know the players are upset and the coaches are upset, but we’re not throwing in the towel,” remarked New West president and general manager Dan Richardson after Monday’s setback. “They have a good team.We ran off 14 games without a loss in the regular season so there’s no reason we can’t swing a couple here to get back in the series and win it.That’s the attitude we’re taking.” Giving up the first three goals set an early tone in Game 4.The Bellies trailed 6-1 fifteen minutes into the contest but recovered to make a game of it by outscoring Maple Ridge 3-1 in the second

On the line: Head coach Steve Goodwin, standing at centre, talks to his charges early in the season.

frame.The club’s three-goal run began with Mitch Jones’ second of the night, and continued even after the lefthander was tossed four minutes later for an illegal check. Early in the third, Jordan McBride pulled New West within a goal but the Burrards’ Owen Barker converted a breakaway, followed by Riley Loewen’s shorthanded tally off a turn over behind the Bellies net. The two teams traded goals and a late surge, where McBride scored his second of the night with

an extra attacker, kept it within reach. But as in last week’s 13-9 loss in Game 1, the gap couldn’t be bridged. The Burrards’ Frank Scigliano made 43 saves, while Eric Penney was equally as sharp in New West’s net, turning aside 48 shots. Dane Sorensen, Jones and McBride scored two goals apiece in the loss, while the Burrards got hat tricks from Dan Taylor and Loewen. “We’ve played well the last two games in here.We had a bad start tonight and had some bad breaks

the other night when we had a lead.We’re just going home and trying to get a win in our own barn,” said Richardson. If the season falls short, a lot could be drawn from the flatfooted start on Monday. “We’ve had two real bad periods in this series – one in our home barn (in Game 1) and (Game 4). You can’t dig yourself a hole like we did,” he noted. “We need the intensity level that we saw after (Jones) got tossed with five minutes to go in the second.”

Down 3-1 in the series, urgency is likely a big part of the game plan.They need to replicate last Saturday’s rally which saw them erase a 5-3 deficit with six straight goals en route to a 9-7 win. Brandon Goodwin, Anthony Malcom, Connor Robinson and Jones each counted twice in the win. But everything hinges on the result Wednesday night. A win will force Game 6, to be played Saturday in Maple Ridge. A seventh game, if necessary, will go Aug. 22 at Queen’s Park.

Royals reboot to defend B.C. college soccer title Returning core, new recruits face high expectations as Douglas College launches women’s soccer season

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

All that was achieved last year – the program’s first provincial banner, the team and individual hardware – is old news. The focus now is on the here and now for the Douglas College women’s soccer team. The squad that blanked Vancouver Island 2-0 to capture the program’s firstever PacWest crown and went on to finish fourth at the Canadian Collegiate nationals, is in transition. But head coach Chris Laxton said its a transition which should still see them

competing for that top-ofthe-table experience. “We have several new faces at every position, so this is a young team,” Laxton said of the squad, which is still in the midst of some tough roster decisions. “We lost players everywhere, but the biggest challenge is that the core of this team knows only success. The players who’ve graduated kind of grew through the rough times and grew to learn how to win.” Winning isn’t a bad framework to build around, but the test comes when adversity rears its ugly head. Last year’s leaders faced that gauntlet during their

three- or four-years in Royal green. Although two-time PacWest MVP Marni McMillan, all-star Danae Harding and Kelsey Acaster have all moved on, Laxton feels confident that the players returning, and new recruits, will be able to bond well for the journey ahead. “I think an area of strength for us will be that we will be a bit more diverse,” he noted. “We relied on Danae and Marni a lot, they had the ability to dominate and set the tone... Now we will rely on a more all-hands-on approach that could be more dangerous.” The leadership mantle

has been handed over to re“I can’t tell you what poturnees Samantha Kell and sition Sam is going to fill Michelle Wessa, two players (but) where ever she’s slotwho bring a lot of exhuberted she’ll be an impact playance and exer.” perience to The deNow we will the pitch. fence will also “Michelle on sophrely on a more lean was our unomores Sarall-hands-on sung hero last ah Strelau season, realapproach that and Naomi ly,” said Laxthe latcould be more Noda, ton. “She was ter from New dangerous. a big part of Westminster. it in the de“(Strefensive midlau) will be a field role, key player on and while she our backline, wasn’t in the while this is a spotlight, when she was on, big year for (Noda),” Laxwe were on; when she was ton said. “We’ve seen a lot off, we were off. of development from her

over the winter and spring and feel she’s ready to take on a bigger role.” Coquitlam’s Andrea Perrotta, in the middle, and Surrey striker Mikayla Hamilton will shoulder a lot of the offensive responsibilities in the context of a wellrounded approach. To replace starting keeper Rebecca Mainardi, Laxton recruited Chantalle Bracken from the defunct.Kwantlen program, and has two others vying for the position. Wearing the ‘defending champion’ badge will only put Douglas in the crosshairs for every game; but it’s a nice spot to be in. Continued on page 35

Clan sign Whitecap A captain of the Vancouver Whitecaps under-18 team, Marcello Polisi is well-prepared for any challenge. The Coquitlam native signed with Simon Fraser University this week with an eye on being an impact player with the men’s soccer team. Polisi, who has been groomed through the Whitecaps Residency program, turned down NCAA Div. 1 offers to stay closer to home and play for Canada’s NCAA team. “I love to create chances for my teammates but

I am also very good at protecting my four,” said Polisi. “I win second balls, and I am a very strong physical presence.” A ball-controlling defensive midfielder, the 5-foot-10 Polisi fits the profile that SFU coach Clint Schneider wants his team to take on the pitch. “My coaching staff worked very hard identifying Marcello as a player and building a strong relationship with him and his family,” said Schneider. “He has all the qualities in a footballer we are looking for and his personality fits our team’s culture.”

His addition adds depth to a group which includes 2015 Great Northwest Athletic Conference first team All-Conference players Adam Jones, Kyle Jones and Mamadi Camara, and midfield captain Ryan Dhillion. “I chose to come to SFU over Div. 1 schools because they have a phenomenal academic reptuation, and an exceptional soccer program,” said Polisi. “The team this year is looking very strong, and our goal is to win a national championship.” The Clan kick off training camp this week.

Douglas prepares its defence

Continued from page 34 “It adds a challege for myself and the program that we’re not use to. I don’t know if it fazes the players much... I’m not feeling any more pressure. (The players) all want to perform and the pressure to win is just a starting point,” said the coach. In that vein, Laxton has mapped out a busy preseason route for the Royals, with

a series of games. This past week they took on a touring squad from NCAA Div. 3, Pennsylvania’s Haverford College, and prevailed 3-0, before preparing for a twin-bill this weekend against SFU on Friday and in Whatcom County on Sunday. The regular season begins Sept. 7 when Douglas hosts Langara at Coquitlam Town Centre Park.

Closing the gap: Vancouver Island’s Devon Robinson, centre, is well covered by a defender from Bermuda during last week’s HaiCo Indigenous Basketball Challenge tournament at Simon Fraser University. The tournament attracted teams from as far away as Australia. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
