HISTORIC HOME OF CITY DANCE SCHOOL IS ON HERITAGE TOUR

Intensive reno restored Kirk House

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Heart of the home: Jennifer Crews with her two dogs in her house, which is part of this year’s Heritage Home Tour and Tea on May 26.

It’s referred to as the Kirk House on this year’s annual Heritage Home Tour and Tea, but for many people it’s the dance school – and its tough-but-charismatic teacher Josephine Slater – who comes to mind when they see the big blue heritage house at Third Avenue and Third Street.

Slater ran her school, Canadian Dance World Studios, at the home-based ballet studio, where she taught dance legends like Dolores Kirkwood (who, for a time worked as Slater’s assistant) and Norbert Vesak (who went on to be a choreographer for the Metropolitan Opera ballet).

Slater owned the property with her sisters, one of whom, Kitty, took over the property when Slater passed away. It later housed another dance studio, and then Kitty eventually turned the house into a cat sanctuary – with as many as 100 cats living on the premises at one time.

After Kitty passed, Jennifer Crews and Lee Cowley bought the run-down property in 2009 and have spent the last four years restoring and renovating the sizable home, which is one of the stops on this

Education? Missing issue irks city trustees

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

They are typically divided politically, but two local school trustees agree there needs to be more funding for public education, and it should have been a bigger issue in the recent election.

Board of education chair Michael Ewen and trustee Casey Cook said education funding didn’t get the focus it deserved during the campaign.

“I was particularly frustrated, as an educator, that there wasn’t more of a conversation about education,” Ewen said. “It was one of the great frustrations for me during the election. The NDP released their platform and then stopped talking about it. The Liberals didn’t really say much about it,

other than they are going to continue doing much the same as what they’re doing, I’m assuming.”

Cook was also disappointed that education didn’t garner more talk.

“Everything got caught up in the conversation of the economy,” Cook said, adding there was almost “no discussion” on health care or education.

Reacting to the Liberals’ unexpected win Tuesday night, Ewen, a lifelong NDPer, said he didn’t know what caused the NDP to choke so badly. But he said the polls may not have been wrong – it might have just been a matter of not enough people voting.

Still, Ewen said the board will “work with the government we get, we’ll just continue to do that.”

Cook said, like many people, he was

surprised by Tuesday’s results, but not disappointed.

“In terms of New Westminster and the school board, I found, particularly with the new schools, that we had an awful lot of support around the new school construction – the capital plan (from the Liberals).

I’m optimistic that that will continue.”

Still, he wants a “re-look” at education funding.

“We need more funding,” Cook said.

“I’m hoping that that is going to get a review.”

As for the election results, Cook said there are three reasons the NDP fared worse than expected. The first hit was the party’s sudden turnaround on the Kinder Morgan pipleline expansion.

NDP party leader Adrian Dix said he did

not want Vancouver turned into a major oil export facility and that an NDP government would take back “decision-making authority” from the federal government.

Prior to the election, Dix said he wouldn’t take a position until there was an application on the table.

Dix’s performance in the leaders’ debate also hurt the NDP, and the NDP didn’t provide enough “clarity” on NDP policies, Cook said.

He also questioned whether the polls were actually wrong.

“The polls did go from about 20 per cent to seven per cent – and there was a couple of polls that even called it a dead heat toward the end,” he said. “Once things start moving, man, it can go fast. We saw that in Alberta.”

Former MLA ‘rather devastated’ by B.C. loss

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

When the dust settled Tuesday night, the B.C. Liberals had won 50 seats and the NDP had won 33 seats, while an independent and Green candidate each won a single seat. NDP candidate Judy Darcy was elected as New Westminster’s MLA, although the Liberals shocked many political pundits and polls by winning a majority government.

“Locally, I was looking forward to Judy Darcy being a cabinet minister in government and having some real influence and pushing for our community,” said Dawn Black, who retired as the city’s MLA prior

to the election. “She will still be a strong, strong advocate for our city. I know that.

I have a lot of confidence in her, but it’s a disappointment that we’re not in government.”

Black said she was “feeling rather devastated” that the NDP didn’t form government, as many had expected.

“I think there will be a period of reflection. We have to examine the campaign very carefully and analyze it. We weren’t the only ones who were wrong. The Liberals were wrong. Everybody was wrong, the pundits, the pollsters, both political parties,” she said.

“We have four-and-a-half years until the next election to regroup, to rebuild.”

Black, who provided political commentary on CBC on election night, said a former Liberal cabinet minister told her in the station’s green room that his party would be lucky to get 30 seats.

“It was a fabulous opportunity, I just don’t understand how we didn’t win. It was the best opportunity we have had for a generation or more. I really don’t understand what happened,” Black said. “I think that the positive campaign we tried to run perhaps was an experiment that didn’t work. I feel sad about that. People tell you all the time they are fed up with negative campaigns, but the Liberals ran an extremely negative campaign. Their campaign consisted of attacking the NDP leader and not

telling the truth. Even when they were called out on the issues that they weren’t telling the truth on, they continued.”

Chuck Puchmayr, a current city councillor who served as the city’s NDP MLA before Black, said it’s “disheartening” that a party can’T win an election running a clean campaign.

“Twelve years of Liberal corruption, everything from B.C. Rail to run of the river mega projects, cost overruns – it makes the Fast Ferries issue seems so minute,” he said.

“But the Liberals have literally run three campaigns on that.”

Puchmayr was disappointed that the “real issues of fiscal mismanagement” by ◗Election Page 5

City drops breed-specific vicious dog bylaw

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster is no longer designating specific breeds of dogs as vicious or dangerous.

For many years, the city’s bylaw has deemed certain dogs to be vicious based on their breed, including pit bull, pit bull terrier, American pit bull terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, cane corso,

Italian mastiff, presa canarios, fila Brasileiro and Argentinian dogo.

Those designations have been eliminated in the updated bylaw, which is now called the animal care and control bylaw.

“This classification system is not entirely effective,” stated a staff report.

In addition to a community consultation process that included surveys and a public meeting, city staff surveyed other municipalities to consider “innovative ways”

to deal with some of the challenges of managing dogs in the city.

The new bylaw, which has received three readings by council, eliminated the designation of certain breeds as being vicious and adds new definitions of aggressive, vicious and dangerous dogs to the bylaw.

Under the new bylaw, aggressive dogs, which are those that have displayed aggressive behavior toward a person or domestic animal or have caused a minor

injury to another domestic animal or human being, would need to be kept on a leash of maximum one metre in length, be muzzled when in off-leash areas and must have permanent identification.

Vicious dogs, which are animals that have caused serious injury or are known to attack without provocation, are not permitted to enter off-leash areas at any time and must have permanent identification. Their owners must post a warning sign on their premises

about the vicious dog.

Dangerous dogs, which are dogs that have killed or seriously injured a person or a domestic animal (other than on the owner’s property) or believed to be likely to kill or seriously injure a person, must abide by the same leash, muzzle, warning sign and identification restrictions as dogs classified as aggressive or vicious.

In addition, dogs classified as ◗Dogs Page 9

Wal-Mart coming to Uptown Mayor says mini Wal-Mart coming to Royal City Centre

BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The Royal City Centre retail mystery is solved.

Mayor Wayne Wright told a crowd of about 45 at his state-of-the-city address that Wal-Mart is the new anchor tenant at the Royal City Centre.

The Record reported last month that a local resident named Greg Daily received an email survey from Air Miles asking him if he will shop at an “urban” Wal-Mart at Royal City Centre.

In November, the Globe and Mail news-

paper wrote a story about Wal-Mart’s move toward “smaller stores tailored to urban cores.”

The story states the company was on a building frenzy, but many of the stores were “smaller than the prototype box with more design and content tailored to the characteristics of the communities they are joining.”

At the time, Monika Hildebrand, vicepresident of the Western Canada corporate office of the company that owns Royal City Centre, Strathallen Capital Corp., was surprised to hear about the Air Miles survey. Hildebrand could not be reached for comment, and Royal City Centre staff would not confirm or deny the new tenant. Wright also could not be reached for comment.

Election: Former NDP politicians look back on election ◗ continued from page 3

the B.C. Liberals didn’t really stick during the campaign.

Because people have short attention spans, he said it’s important to remind voters of problems that had taken place during the Liberals’ 12 years in government, such as spending $6 million of taxpayers’ money to cover legal expenses for two men who pled guilty for breach of trust related to the release of confidential B.C. Rail information and the cost of a new roof for B.C. Place that was significantly higher than the original budget.

“It’s fair game. It’s not fair game when you attack someone personally,” he said. “There are some issues that really needed to be heard.”

While he wasn’t closely connected to the NDP provincial campaign, he said

the party started on a path of being a “civil government, a civic opposition” in the legislature.

“They rose in the polls,” he said. “It’s only prudent to think they could carry that on.”

Puchmayr said he had hoped the NDP would form government so it could move to ban corporate and union donations from election campaigns, and to launch an inquiry into the sale of B.C. Rail.

“That’s not going to happen now,” he said. “There’s a lot of things that are not going to be able to happen now.”

Black said she’s hoping the Liberals will focus on some of the issues that matter to many British Columbians,suchasseniors’ care, the education system and the environment.

“I hope they will turn their attention to the people

Christy Clark sure has plenty of spunk EDITOR’S LETTER

I

PAT TRACY

must confess, I’ve always had a soft spot for Christy Clark.

She reminds me a bit like Demi Moore in that movie, G.I. Jane.

Of course, G.I. Jane’s story and hers diverge a bit. But I still like to think the theme is vaguely the same: novice military recruit blindly taking orders discovers she’s the only one not in on the big plan – the plan that has her basically as a fall guy. When she discovers she’s set up – she, of course, turns the whole situation on its head and triumphs.

Now, Clark’s road to redemption and victory has more detours. She relies on old political women friends to advise her when she considers running for the mayor’s chair in Vancouver.

She tackles that race with gusto, and doesn’t whine about losing.

Out of politics she turns her gift for gab into a stint as a radio talk show host.

And then she returns to the military base, er, B.C. politics, and takes on the entire old Liberal boys’ club to become the leader of the Liberal Party – with only Harry Bloy supporting her. Which, in my opinion, was

worse than having no support at all. She tried to reward Bloy, and then discovered he was a liability – a couple of times. And still, as late as three weeks ago in Burnaby, she praised Bloy.

Somewhat of a stretch, but she managed to sound almost convincing. And, dare I say, she did display almost militaristic loyalty to her single supporter, however misplaced.

And then – to top it off – she sloughs off several seedy political scandals like dead skin; ethnic vote pandering, sexual harassment by one of her top staff members, a skewed politicized report on the Burnaby Hospital, party political work done on the taxpayer dime – it seemed like at least one ugly mess a month leading up to the election. She even manages to avoid having the legislature meet – and it hardly raises eyebrows. Probably an indication of how we are all rather tired of any form of political bickering – even if it is part of a working democracy.

She even fended off legal action instigated by John van Dongen who was intent on connecting her to the old B.C. Rail scandal. All of which was broadcast endlessly by the media. And then she was vindicated – with much less fanfare.

All the while polls and pundits had her a) being abandoned

by Liberal party members b) being disliked by women voters c) being criticized for her parenting.

Superbly bad location for sign

Dear Editor:

I congratulate the City of New Westminster on selecting what is quite possibly the worst place to erect a digital advertising sign.

I refer to the recent placement of a large electronic billboard in the small sliver of New Westminster city land located south of Highway 91.

This sign is placed in the middle of a fairly tight radius corner for a highway and is extremely distracting.

It is one thing to add digital advertising signage with its inherent distraction alongside a straightaway, yet quite another where drivers are engaged in a taxing driving maneuover such as a highway speed turn.

Should a driver avert their eyes for long enough ◗Clark Page 7 to actually read the sign they face the grave risk of

losing concentration and veering into another lane or into backed up traffic ahead in the curve.

The engineers who signed off on this should be ashamed of themselves.

There are of course tradeoffs in raising revenue, but it should never be accomplished in such a greedy and careless manner as this sign demonstrates.

I advise the City of New Westminster to turn this sign off and remove it before the inevitable occurs. As this sign is located in an extreme corner of New Westminster – any precipitant collisions will be tasked to Richmond or Delta – not New Westminster to attend to.

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, along with any parties looking to assign blame for collisions, will no doubt blame the city, at least in part, for the placement of this sign as a contributing ◗Sign Page 7

Re: City arts icon dies, The Record, May

“We’ve got trouble, right here in River City,” when city council representatives allowed the “parade to pass them by” without saying goodbye and “thank you” to their own native son, Ed Harrington, the “Music Man” of Royal City Musical Theatre.

A ripple of discernible disappointment swept through the crowd gathered at Massey Theatre on Saturday, May 11, when it dawned that a not a single member of our city’s representative body was

in attendance to pay tribute to a man who really knew how to build a community crescendo.

Massey Theatre was filled with luminous Royal City Musical Theatre alumni who belted out all the top notes of Broadway’s best for the love of a man with a mighty heart and a talent for assembling disparately skilled people into a cohesive course of activity.

They united in a single purpose – to make something beautiful in the Royal City.

Thousands of Lower Mainland residents, as well as citizens from across B.C., Canada and the United States, flooded the theatre with accolades annually. The Royal City became truly regal.

We are saddened at the loss of a man who not only “struck up the band,” but struck chords in us that we never felt before.

Sadder still, his hometown representatives missed the opportunity to send him off in theatrical style.

All that he did, he did for love, love of the Royal City, the River City.

Thank you Ed. The music plays on and the love never leaves.

City’s first mental health officer hits streets Const. Arthur Wlodyka, the city’s first mental health officer to work with the New Westminster Police Department, has started his new position this week

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Being a police officer comes with a certain number of expectations – investigating tragedies, attending the scene of car accidents and interacting with criminals and victims. But Const. Arthur Wlodyka didn’t expect he’d feel helpless while on the job.

Attending calls involving the same people, the same families over and over again and being unable to provide them with the resources or help they needed finally took its toll on him. He realized that in order to be an effective police department, New Westminster needed to develop a program that addressed the needs of those with mental health problems.

“One of the things I was really surprised to see – in just working on the streets – was just how frequently we deal with mental health issues and mental illness,” he said. “I was under the idea that we’d be out chasing bad guys and arresting people and solving crime, that sort of thing, (but I) quickly realized that mental-health issues had become a huge part of policing and it didn’t seem like we were delivering the most effective sort of service.”

And so Wlodyka – who has been with the department for more than six years – set out to make a change in the way the department handled mental health related cases.

Starting this week, Wlodyka will be reporting to work as the mental health intervention coordinator for the department.

His main role will be as an added resource for the other officers as well as a liaison for the community. If any officers encounter situations where they suspect someone has a mental illness, the officers will contact Wlodyka who will come out to the scene to provide the individual with resources and options.

“Often times we were dealing with people who hadn’t committed any crimes – families and stuff who called people in – just needing resources on a medical side of things,” he said.

This is particularly important in New Westminster where there is a large population of “entrenched homeless people,” Wlodyka said. “(They) can take up a huge amount of police resources because people are coming across them every day in the community and seeing them … yelling and screaming and acting in a bizarre manner,” he said.

Wlodyka said that police are often responding to numerous calls each day about the same individuals, which can be very troublesome for officers. As the mental health officer, it’ll be up to Wlodyka to find ways of improving these interactions.

“That’s definitely going to be a primary focus,” he said. “(To) support and address their needs in an ongoing fashion to maybe prevent the escalation of their issues.”

In order to do so, Wlodyka will be developing a database of resources for the department.

“I like to think of it as ‘plugging in’ to the whole mental health world and all of the different agencies and groups that are responsible,” he said.

Wlodyka said the department can sometimes become

Cayley Dobie/THE RECORD

On the job: Const. Arthur Wlodyka started his new position as mental health officer for the New Westminster Police Department this week. The position has been approved by the city for a two-year period, after which they’ll review Wlodyka’s progress and decide whether or not to extend it. limited in its scope – falling back on two options; either enforcing the law or enforcing the Mental Health Act. However, there are a number of resources available to officers who encounter people with mental-health problems.

“There’s numerous other resources that people can be directed to that maybe they weren’t aware of,” he said.

Wlodyka will be working with representatives from a number of organizations and groups to foster strong relationships between the police and community. One of the relationships he’s most keen to get started on is with Royal Columbian Hospital. Officers who are called to help someone with an apparent mental illness have to wait with them at the hospital until they are officially turned over to a doctor, as required by the Mental Health Act, according to Wlodyka. Sometimes officers are waiting eight to 10 hours with the individual, taking resources away from the department, he said.

“We’ve been working really hard on our relationship with the hospital to try and streamline our procedure – and working relationship – to try and speed up that process and get officers back out on the road,” he said.

This has been a big concern for the department, as well as city councillors who recently expressed unhappiness with the Fraser Health Authority.

At a council meeting in April, councillors discussed the authority’s recent decision to cut funding for the Lookout

Emergency Aid Society, which resulted in cuts to Cliff Block.

“Our streets are full of people with mental illness. It’s a neglect of the system,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, in an earlier interview with The Record. “What’s really shocking now is we are being offloaded – we are hiring a police officer who’s doing what the Fraser Health Authority should be doing. We are instructed that often they will show up at the hospital with a patient, and they can’t leave there.

They are waiting eight to 10 hours for that patient to see a psychiatrist, so we are tying up a police officer for the entire shift, waiting to see someone from Fraser Health, from Royal Columbian Hospital. This is, again, an absolute slap in the face.”

Mayor Wayne Wright agreed with Puchmayr and said the local police are already inundated with work related to mental health issues.

Both council and Wlodyka hope the addition of a mental health officer will help improve police efficiency, while still providing an effective service to the community.

“We actually have a really good relationship with the community as far as a police standpoint and I think this only goes to improve that,” he said.

Wlodyka began his new position on Monday. City council and the police board approved the position for two years, after which they’ll review Wlodyka’s progress and decide whether or not to extend the position.

Lookout clients drumming up support for therapy

AROUND TOWN

THERESA MCMANUS

ookout Emergency Aid Society clients are drumming up support – so they can keep drumming.

Thane Satre, a tenant support worker for the society in New Westminster, experimented with the idea of incorpo-

rating his love for drumming into his job. Lookout clients are now benefiting from drum therapy.

“Drumming is a very visceral experience,” he said in a press release.

“Any time you can beat the crap out of things you get a certain release out

of it.”

Satre spends his evenings and weekends performing as a professional drummer. For the past two years, he’s taught drums to Lookout’s clients at the Cliff Block.

“They’re quick learners,” he said. “They

become focused and intent when they drum. The most important thing is the confidence it gives them.”

Satre has organized an outdoor concert where they’ll be able to show off their drumming skills.

They’ll be performing on Monday, May 20 at

Hyack Square, where Satre’s students will take turns drumming with his bands, Eli Williams and the Madmen and The Telepathics.

“It’s a drum-off with them sitting in with the ◗Drum-off Page 12

bands,” he said. ”They’ve been working very hard for this, and they’re ready.”

The concert, which takes place from 2 to 4 p.m., is also a fundraiser.

The clients are hoping to raise enough money for a drum kit, as Satre is being transferred to one of Lookout’s facilities in Vancouver, and they won’t be able to use his kit.

“I want them to continue on and get others involved,” he said. “Drum therapy is a hot topic and we’re seeing the results.”

Hyack Square is located on Columbia Street at the foot of Eighth Street.

Double Exposure

The award-winning Double Exposure comedy team of Bob Robertson and Linda Cullen will be taking to the stage at Massey Theatre and is guaranteeing “you’ll laugh so hard you’ll blow your anvil” this long weekend.

The Hyack Festival Association and Massey Theatre are presenting the show as part of the 42nd annual Hyack Festival.

The performance is being billed as Mayday! Mayday!

Double Exposure presents The Complete History of New Westminster – plus a lot of other funny stuff.

Robertson and Cullen’s weekly radio program was a hit on CBC for more than a decade. Double Exposure later appeared on CTV and was nominated for six Gemini Awards.

“We are delighted to copromote their performance as part of the festival,” said Douglas Smith, the Hyack Festival Association’s executive director. “Bob and Linda reside in New Westminster, so who better to capture, with humour,

Double Exposure has been inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame. Their star is on the Walk of Fame on Granville Street across from the Orpheum Theatre.

The live performance, which features guest comedian Patrick Maliha, takes place on Sunday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the Massey Theatre box office.

Volunteer picnic

Century House paid tribute at a recent volunteer picnic to those who have contributed countless hours over the years.

Elsie Ansdell was honoured for 30 years of volunteering with the centre that’s located in Moody Park, while Irene Dennis and Pearl Hanson were recognized for 25 years.

Other volunteers recognized for longtime contributions include: 20 years – Margaret Doerksen, Ed Keilbart, Maureen Montgomery and Barrie Morlin; 15 years – Gail Austin, Don McArthur, Patricia Roessler, Vera Rushton and Tina Vreugde; 10 years – Luna Acedillo, Georgie Cole, Christine Demchuck, Flo Ferguson, Maureeen Hoeschsmann, Gwen Metz, Jo Mongrain, Patricia Smith and Joanne Willson; and five years – Shirley Armstrong, Hermila Becker, Armida Beasley, Marg McKee, Vi Meech and Kathy Tabualevu.

New Westminster SALMONBELLIES This year, a mixture of old favourites and new faces There aren’t many things that can last for 124 years, but the Salmonbellies Lacrosse team has stayed put in New Westminster for just that amount of time. They are a team deeply rooted in the community of New Westminster, and on Sunday, May 19th the Senior Salmonbellies will be kicking off their 124th season to the Mann Cup in Nanaimo.

Local fans will have their chance to see the first Salmonbellies home game of the season on May 23rd at 7:45 pm, and every Thursday beyond that.

Besides the expected excitement of the teams playing, fans can anticipate something for everyone during game nights. There will be theme nights to show appreciation for local programs, giveaways to be handed out from generous sponsor, entertainment to be watched between playing periods and some delightful surprises to be revealed later on.

On July 4th one of the most popular Salmonbellies game nights will be taking place on the home rink. The fifth annual Seats 4 Soldiers match will be against the WLA 2012 Champions Langley Thunder. It’s an annual game that ties the Salmonbellies to their long standing relationship with The Royal Westminster Regiment, and invites all army military personnel and their families to watch the game and have a night full of entertainment and activities for everyone.

On Saturday May 4th, the Bellies had their annual Season Ticket Pickup party. It was the first opportunity for fans and members of the Salmonbellies to get together for the 2013 season.

There were snacks and good lacrosse chat to be had by all; one lucky fan would walk away with a one of a kind

big plans to take their team to the Mann cup. The team has always been known for their transition style, and keeping the ball and their players moving.

Salmonbellies Print by the team photographer David Zuskind.

One of the new drafts has already witnessed the special bond New Westminster holds with the Salmonbellies. #23 Jeff Cornwall came to the Salmonbellies after playing on the Coquitlam Junior team for five years.

“It’s cool.” He says about his new team, “The community involvement is high. You don’t usually get a whole city backing you.”

The fans were in high spirits for the upcoming season, jumping into conversation with the coaches and volunteers for the team, eager to get back to watching their team play. The fans praised their team, saying no one else was like them and gave props to New West for having one of the greatest arenas to watch lacrosse in.

With this new season, fans will see a mixture of their old favourites and new faces. The Bellies drafted 12 new players to their roster, along with a new coaching staff. The new coaching staff are no strangers to the Salmonbellies or New Westminster. Some fans may recognize them as being the men behind the New Westminster Intermediate Salmonbellies where they had a successful run as the coaching staff.

Leading the coaching staff is Steven Goodwin, a former JR Salmonbellies player himself. Supporting him as the Assistant Coaching staff is Russ Heard, Darrin London and Jamie Stewart, who are all former JR Salmonbellies players that later on went to play in the WLA. Goodwin is enthusiastic to be returning as a coach to the Bellies and says, “I wouldn’t want to coach anywhere else.

There’s a special history here. Players want to play for the Bellies.”

Goodwin and his fellow coaches have

from all sorts of backgrounds everyone admits there is something special about the Salmonbellies. It is the aspect of community. A fan of the Salmonbellies organization is not simply just a lacrosse fan; they are part of a piece of New Westminster and lacrosse history. They are supporting one of the most storied traditions and they are part of the Salmonbellies team because the team goes on because of their community.

Cornwall would later go on to say there is a sense of family on the team and the people behind the scenes treat the players like gold. This is a sentiment shared by senior player #15 Shayne Bennett who has been one of the Bellies top Defense players for 10 years now.

Bennett has a great relationship with his teammates and would go as far to call them family, “They’re all great guys.

We all hang out during the summer.”

The coaches will keep this aggressive tact going. “No loose ball will ever go uncontested,” Goodwin says, “We want our guys going after the ball.”

Lacrosse is a tough game to play and there is no time for slackers. The coaches have their players practicing on an intense workout schedule to keep them fit for games as Goodwin believes; “You can turn Athletes into Lacrosse players, but you can’t turn Lacrosse players into Athletes.”

Although the players, the coaches, the volunteers and even the fans have come

The players and coaches agree that it could be anybody’s year. The parity of the league may be closer than it ever has been between all the teams in the WLA. The Salmonbellies did not look to rebuild their team but reload it with this past draft. All the teams in the league will give them stiff competition, but as always the Salmonbellies will answer by fighting hard and playing fierce on the road to the Mann cup.

If you miss a game there’s no need to worry fans! Follow us on Twitter @ Salmonbellies or the Facebook page for play by play updates during games and check the Salmonbellies blog on our website for post-game interviews and future Salmonbellies events!

History of anvil salute OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

V

ictoria Day will be on Monday, May 20.

Once again the celebration will be highlighted locally by the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery, which will fire the traditional “21 gun” anvil salute to Queen Elizabeth II and to the memory of Queen Victoria.

Victoria Day has been marked in New Westminster since May of 1859, mere months after the site had been chosen for the capital city by Colonel Moody of the Royal Engineers, and before the city had received its name, chosen

by Queen Victoria.

This first Victoria Day celebration took place at the Royal Engineers’ camp located, in today’s terms, on a portion of the City’s Fraserview development near Columbia Street.

That event is often referred to as the Victoria

Day salute with a quote from the report of the day, “…what rendered the day so peculiarly interesting was its being the first time Her Majesty’s subjects in this distant part of the world have had an opportunity of expressing their loyalty and devotion to their beloved sovereign.”

For about 25 years the Victoria Day salute to the sovereign by the Anvil Battery has featured historical information in the oneminute intervals between the 21 shots being fired.

These have become popular with those in attendance who have expressed their enjoyment of the “history lesson” that accompanies the traditional event.

Sometimes these pieces of information are part of a formal recognition of an important anniversary in the community.

Representatives of a particular group stand with an officer of the Battery to receive a single salute as part of the overall 21 shots on the day.

This specific recognition has been given several times in the past few years, including New Westminster’s 150 year

anniversary in 2009; the Royal Canadian Navy 100 year anniversary in 2010; the local Fire Department’s 150-year anniversary and the Hyack Festival Association’s 40 years in 2011; and Royal Columbian Hospital’s 150year anniversary last year.

This year, The Royal Westminster Regiment is celebrating its 150th anniversary. This group will be honoured by the Anvil Battery with a salute of formal recognition.

In November of 1863 with the disbanding of the Columbia Detachment of Royal Engineers, a new militia group for the small town on the Fraser was formed.

Today’s regiment takes great pride in tracing its family tree back to this militia group, the New Westminster Rifle Company No. 1, as well as to its links to the Corps of Royal Engineers.

Plan to come out to Queen’s Park Stadium on Victoria Day (May 20) for the full program beginning between 11:15 and 11:30 a.m. and the salute of “21 guns” at noon, and be part of this ancient and honourable Royal City tradition.

Power of music explored at library

BY JOANNE ROBERTSON CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Recently, science has turned its attention to the study of music and how it affects our emotions and our brains.

You’ll find some fascinating books at the New Westminster Public Library that may start you thinking about your favourite song in new and surprising ways.

In Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks explores the power music has over us.

Offering evidence through clinical examples and other tales of real people, he claims music can be used to treat illnesses and change behaviours. He believes music is essential to us because we are a musical species.

Daniel Levitin, a professional musician before becoming a neuroscientist, has a unique view on the power of music, and why it affects us so strongly.

In This is Your Brain on Music, he presents a scientific understanding of how we experience music and its role in our lives.

Music is a human obsession, he says, and may be even more essential to us than language.

A brand-new wine + food fundraiser!

Elena Mannes follows researchers and musicians who are working to find how much of our musicality is learned and how much is innate. Music, she says, is virtually universal across cultures and time. The Power of Music, while presenting emerging research about music’s impact on us, also explores music’s connection to the body, the brain, and the world of nature.

In The Music Instinct, Philip Ball explores how music works its magic, why it affects us so strongly and why we can’t do without it.

He believes music is indispensable in our lives. Connecting psychology and brain science, he gives new insights on musical understanding, as he increases our appreciation for all types of music.

What are you listening to? Galina Mindlin, in Your Playlist Can Change Your Life, shows how listening to your favourite music can make you feel happier and healthier. Her take on music therapy will have you paying close attention to the music you listen to and how it affects you.

It’s the natural way to a better you.

Homegrown Select comes back to roots Field

semis loom for lax locals

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

After 10 largely successful seasons in the Metro soccer league, it was only a matter of time before a second generation of Burnaby Select stepped forward.

That new generation is 24-year-old Scott Stefanek, a centre back, who shared in the club’s first-ever national club title on an under-14 side in 2002.

Over the last 10 seasons, the Burnaby Selects have won three medals at the youth club nationals, including a silver and two Canadian titles, while also winning 11 division banners.

The Selects have won six of nine Coastal A Cup finals, and this season three more teams earned berths at the upcoming provincial championships this summer, bringing the number to 12 of appearances at the B.C.s by the Burnaby club.

Stefanek won one of those Coastal Cups with Burnaby at u-17 and then went on to a national collegiate championship with Capilano University before earning an NCAA Division I athletic scholarship in Florida at Saint Leo University.

After graduating in 2010 from Saint Leo as the soccer team’s captain, Stefanek returned home with a double major in psychology and sociology, which he is currently putting to good use in the Coquitlam School District helping at-risk youth. He is now seriously considering working on studying towards a teacher’s

game jitters he knew as a player all over again.

“I was nervous ... but on the sidelines it’s a different dynamic. It’s a rush.

I’m so glad I took this on,” he said.

True to his defensive leanings, Stefanek preaches an “If-we-don’t-allowa-goal, we-can’t-lose” philosophy.

On-field, he plans to adopt a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1

Burnaby’s Riley Loewen paced the Limestone College Saints to the Final Four in NCAA Division II field lacrosse.

The senior attack scored five goals and assisted on three others to lead the No. 2-ranked Saints over first-time entrant Seton Hill 16-13 in the NCAA tournament quarter-final at Gaffney, South Carolina on Saturday.

After a scoreless first 10 minutes, Loewen accounted for three of Limestone’s next five goals and assisted on a fourth to put the Conference Carolinas champs ahead 5-0.

Limestone led 8-5 at the half. He also had five ground balls.

With the eight-point performance, Loewen moved to within eight points of tying the program record for career points of 273 total points held by Devan Spikler (2000/03).

Loewen also increased his all-time goal-scoring mark to 181 tallies with the win.

At the same time, Stefanek also took on the duties as the first homegrown coach for the Burnaby Selects under-13 spring development team.

He will co-coach with 25year-old Darren Nelless and former Cliff Avenue coach Matteo Manfredi.

It’s a perfect fit for a coach in-waiting that never dreamed he would one day be on that side of the ball, or classroom.

“My mom and dad always told me I’d be a good teacher, but I said, ‘No, no. I’ll never do that.’

But it just shows they were right. I enjoy getting up every morning and going to work. It’s what you look for in a career.”

As for the coaching part, that too came from another important mentor – his Div. I coach at Saint Leo – Joel Harrison.

Despite a heavy courseload at university,

Stefanek found time to join Harrison on weekends with his youth development program for fourto seven-year-olds in the Tampa area.

“I loved it,” said Stefanek. “(Harrison) was excellent at training and games. It was something I wanted to replicate. It inspired me to pay the Burnaby Selects back.”

In Stefanek’s first game as coach last month, he experienced all the pre-

Jr. ’Bellies crown Saints after takeway win

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies put their collective foot back down on the pedal after having an earlier win taken away on a forfeit in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League.

The junior A Salmonbellies, with a record of 1-3 following the forfeiture, ganged up on the Port Coquitlam Saints 15-5 on Tuesday night after being stripped of their 16-4 victory over Nanaimo last Sunday because of incomplete paperwork surrounding the transfer of Edmonton native Brendan Ranford. The former Kamloops hockey player scored his first career junior goal in the forfeited win.

“We’ll make that up,” said New Westminster head coach Dan Perreault.

The junior ’Bellies appeared good to their coach’s word, raining 25 shots on the PoCo keeper in the opening frame at its Tuesday night home match at the Queen’s Park Arena, jumping out to an 8-2 first-period lead.

Rookie Chris Nasato had his best junior A game to date on the left side, leading all scorers with a career-high five-point outing and his first-ever junior hat trick.

Nasato punctuated the onesided scoreline with back-to-back counters six minutes apart in the middle stanza.

The Salmonbellies are on the road for their next two games.

New West plays a return match in PoCo against the Saints tonight (Friday).

On Saturday, the junior ’Bellies are at the Ladner Arena for a tilt with the first-place Delta Islanders. The two teams met earlier in the month with Delta coming away with a 13-9 victory at Queen’s Park.

New Westminster does not return home until Tuesday, May 28, when it hosts Langley at Queen’s Park.

STM girls miss out on provincials

The St. Thomas More Knights lost 2-1 to Seycove in AA high school senior girls’ soccer provincial qualifying last Monday.

The Knights came back from a 2-0 deficit in the Burnaby/North Shore zone semifinal to cut the deficit by a goal five minutes from full time on a score by Chantelle Parra.

With a single minute still left on the

clock, STM appeared to tie the contest, but the apparent goal was disallowed on a hand-ball call.

“The girls played hard, and I was extremely pleased with their efforts,” said STM head coach Carlo Zavarise.

In AAA girls’ provincial qualifying, Handsworth defeated Burnaby South 3-1 on Wednesday. Both teams made it to the provincials, with Argyle as host.

offensive scheme, but the program is all about development.

“I like the 50 per cent rule (everyone plays half a game). It’s the way kids are going to develop. As long as they play half a game, they’re still progressing as a player,” Stefanek said, adding he plans to continue Burnaby’s tradition of conducting itself in a professional manner and producing champions.

“I think it’s fantastic.

He’s going to be a good coach, and he’s a genuinely well-respected young man,” said club president Frank Palmieri. “He was beautiful when I coached him, and he’s proven that by coming back. The kids just love him.”

It appears that admiration rubbed off on Stefanek when he was growing his football skills in the Selects’ program.

“Coaches show up at every game and practice – it matters,” he added.

“They treat everyone with respect. That’s why I’m back.”

Ladner jumped out to a 9-2 first-period lead and never trailed, despite a second-period turnaround that got the home club to within 10-8 before the Pioneers rallied with three quick goals in a 35-second span to end the middle stanza.

Ryan McEwen led the Caps with a hat trick, including one of two shorthanded goals by Royal City in the final period.

New Westminster keepers Kevin Hazelwood and backup William Morrison teamed up for 41 saves in the Royal City goal.
