Trustees approve 60 layoffs

Skipper ﬁnds man clinging to his ship’s lines, saves him from drowning in river

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

A man is alive today thanks to the quick thinking of David Cobb, skipper of the 100-yearold fishing vessel Chief Skugaid currently moored at the Fraser River Discovery Centre. Just after 5 a.m. Thursday morning, Cobb – who was asleep on board the Skugaid – was awoken by cries for help coming from the river. “I hastily pulled on my coveralls and went out on the bridge-deck … (and) to my initial shock and amazement, there was a man clinging for dear life to one of the mooring lines,” he recounted in an email to The Record. Cobb said the man in the water was “streaming like a piece of seaweed” as he clung to one of the vessel’s mooring lines. “He’d managed to get a hold of these rather stout lines and was between the boat and the big pilings here,” he said. And if the man hadn’t managed to grab the line, Cobb said he would have most likely been swept out into the river. “The river is pretty well known to be running very quickly,” he said. “Faster than any Olympic swimmer could contest and even too fast for anything other than a good oarsman.” After scrambling down to the main deck of the vessel,

Inset photo, taken by Cobb, shows the rescue boat arriving and the man in Cobb’s dinghy. Cobb threw the man a lifesaver and told him to let one of his hands drop from the line and grab the “buoyant life-ring.” Then – using a five-foot long boat hook – Cobb manoeuvred the lifering under the man’s shoulders and around his upper torso, and pulled him to a ladder. “(The man) was too weak

and apparently (too) hypothermic to (pull himself up), so I continued to yell encouragement,” he said. During this ordeal, Cobb told The Record a passerby called 9-1-1, and by the time he had gotten the man between the vessel and the dock, police and emergency services arrived on scene.

Despite pleading from the community, the New Westminster school board cut about 60 positions in order to balance the budget. Trustees at Tuesday night’s meeting combed through the options presented by secretary-treasurer Al Balanuik. There were more than a dozen items up for discussion and approval by the board, including staffing layoffs for administration, teachers, support staff and special education assistants. Before the board began its discussion, board chair Michael Ewen explained to the parents, teachers and union leaders in attendance that in order to submit a balanced budget to the provincial government cuts would need to be made. “We’re presenting a balanced budget tonight,” he reminded visitors. And with that, the board began the task of removing about $5.2 million from the preliminary 2013/14 operating budget. First on the chopping block was three administration positions, including two vice-principals, saving the school district almost $250,000. After approving these cuts, trustees were faced with one of the two items most contested by members of the public since the deficit was first revealed, the possible layoffs of 35 special education assistants. While trustees and senior administration were able to bring the number of special education position layoffs down to 27, that was still too many for trustee Lisa Graham, who voiced her opposition. “I recall the panic I felt when my son was faced with the same

GlassHouse Lofts – will be true to its name Latest Port Royal development features ﬂoor-to-ceiling glass windows in all units

Project with a view:

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

Aragon Properties Ltd. has unveiled its most dynamic project in the Port Royal development in Queensborough. The developer considers GlassHouse Lofts to be the “most exciting” development in its 25-year history. Occupancy of GlassHouse Lofts is expected in September 2013. “With all our 25 years’ experience developing in Vancouver, Toronto and now in Los Angeles, we unveil the new GlassHouse Lofts, which has taken all of our experience and our cooperation with the city,” Aragon founder and president Lenny Moy said in a press release. “We believe we have taken it to a new height in terms of design and innovation, and we are very excited to share this.” Moy, along with Mayor Wayne Wright, took part in a media tour of GlassHouse Lofts on Tuesday. The five-storey building includes 67 condominiums, including seven penthouse suites, with all including floor to ceiling glass windows. Aragon began the first phase of the 50-acre master planned Port Royal community in 2006. With the GlassHouse Lofts development, Port Royal is now about 50 per cent built. Port Royal includes traditional single-family homes, garden apartments, courtyard homes and rowhomes. Aragon believes GlassHouse Lofts has a high-qual-

ity, open plan concept design that is suited to the increasing demographic of buyers in the area, including double-income nokids, young single professionals, creative and artistic individuals, and empty-nesters who are looking to reclaim their personal space after children leave home. “I have been here for every one of

the different aspects (of Port Royal) that Aragon has put together, and they are always exciting, and today I am excited again because it is something new,” Wright said. The Port Royal development is being built on property that was once home to the MacMillan Bloedel mill.

Wright noted that the City of New Westminster is currently updating the Queensborough community plan, and Port Royal is a major part of that land. Without Port Royal, he said the city may have “barren land” at the site, instead of a vital community. tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

the man out of the water and into the dingy. From there the police took over, Cobb said. “I held them secure at the end of the safety line – attached to the lifesaver – until the police Zodiac could be deployed to pick them all up,” he said. When it arrived, the man and attending officers were transferred to the police boat and taken to the dock. According to Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland of the New Westminster Police Department, the man – who was attempting suicide – is being treated at a local hospital and will be alright. Cobb said that more than anything he’s relieved the man was OK. He doesn’t always sleep on board the Skugaid, but was sure glad he did Wednesday night. “There would’ve been a grisly ending to what turned-out to be – by miraculous coincidence – a life-saving occurrence,” he said. “Much credit to the police sergeant (Sgt. Mike Garbutt) that first attended, putting his life at risk.”

situation,” she said. Graham’s autistic son, who graduated from New Westminster Secondary in 2010, was the main reason for her decision to run as a school board trustee. Seeing that the special education assistants were once again facing the brunt of layoffs was unacceptable, Graham said. “We have a dual obligation to balance the budget and provide quality education,” she said. “And I’m struggling with this.” Despite Graham’s concerns, which were echoed around the board table, trustees approved the 27 layoffs in a two-to-four vote, saving the district more than $1 million. Next came the teachers. Balanuik recommended cutting 19.4 full-time teaching positions in order to recover more than $1.5 million. This number hadn’t changed since the previous pre-

liminary budget presentation in March, but trustee Jonina Campbell said it was a struggle to keep it so low. “It’s with a heavy burden we feel we have to pass this,” she said. Other savings came from cutting the budgets for services, equipment, furniture and transportation. Supplies were also cut by more than $700,000, which Campbell said will require the community to be creative when it comes to helping their schools. “People are going to have to find resourceful and creative solutions, and it’s not easy. Parents are already busy, and they’re being asked to do a lot,” she said. By the end of the process, the board had managed to cut just enough to balance the budget and remove the almost $5.2 million shortfall. While they were successful, trustees reminded visitors if the board refused to balance the budget, the consequences

for the district would be much more severe. “Under the School Act, you’re legally obligated to balance the budget, but you’re also responsible for student achievement,” Campbell said. “If we don’t pass a balanced budget, a trustee is appointed and they come in and they make decisions with minimal consultation, if any.” This happened recently in Cowichan, where the school board there chose to remain in a deficit situation rather than balance the budget, arguing it was done to protect student education. The board was fired by the provincial government and replaced with a representative from another district. “As a teacher and as a parent, I recognize that we’re in a very challenging time educationally,” Campbell said. The final budget will be submitted to the Ministry of Education at the end of June.

City council united in stand against coal plan against it. Fraser Surrey Docks held open houses on May 23 and 25 in Surrey, where representatives from Fraser Surrey Docks, rail and marine providers, and others involved with the project spoke to attendees. Because it didn’t hold a meeting in the City of New Westminster, MLA-elect Judy Darcy and MPs Peter Julian and Fin Donnelly held a townhall meeting on Thursday about the proposed coal facility and invited Fraser Surrey Docks representatives to attend. (For a report on that meeting, go to www.royalcity record.com) In related news, the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce has indicated it supports the coal facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. The decision came after the chamber’s board of directors met with Surrey Fraser Docks’ CEO and discussed issues such as rail noise and coal dust and the effects of the project on New Westminster residents and businesses. “Given the extensive dust mitigation tactics that the project will initiate and the absence of need for any rail cars in New Westminster, the board was satisfied that Surrey Fraser Docks responded to all of the local concerns,” said chamber executive director Cori Lynn Germiquet in a press release. “Afterwards, we passed a resolution to support the expansion if all mitigation measures proposed by Fraser Surrey Docks are adhered to.”

New Westminster city council is taking a stand against a proposed coal facility at Fraser Surrey Docks. On Monday, council unanimously supported a motion from Coun. Chuck Puchmayr that the city oppose the shipping of thermal coal from Fraser Surrey Docks. Council also received petitions signed by about 1,000 Quayside and Queensborough residents who are opposed to the proposed expansion at the facility located across from the Quay and Queensborough. Fraser Surrey Docks has submitted a project permit application to Port Metro Vancouver to develop a direct transfer coal facility that could handle up to four million metric tonnes of coal. After being transported from the United States to Canada by rail, the coal would be placed on barges at Fraser Surrey Docks, travel by water to Texada Island, and from there it would be shipped to Asia. Puchmayr attended an open house put on by Fraser Surrey Docks last week and wasn’t convinced the project would be limited to the scope being proposed at this time. “Once you allow something like this ... there is a potential this could be a very, very large-scale operation,” he said. “I am very uncomfortable with that.” Puchmayr also expressed concern about the type of coal that will be handled at the facility, saying it’s a highly flammable coal and is a different coal than what’s currently handled at Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver. “This coal here is something of a very volatile nature,” he said. “It can ignite on its own.” The motion approved by council states the facility would be used to ship “volatile thermal coal” from the United States through Fraser Surrey Docks, which is in the vicinity of “our densely populated city.” The motion also states Port Metro Vancouver has not been able to clearly disclose all health and safety data related to this product, including flame retardant solutions required to stabilize the volatility of this coal. Coun. Bill Harper said the city has requested an environmental review that

had been conducted about the proposal. “They refused to do that,” he said of the proponents. “Instead, what they have put forward is a management plan.” Harper said the city needs to know the impact the project would have on the Fraser River, the impacts of coal ash in the air and potential impacts associated with barging coal through the Georgia Strait when gale force winds occur. “We are going to oppose this coal port until we are satisfied it is safe,” he said. Coun. Betty McIntosh said she fully agrees with council’s decision to oppose the project at Fraser Surrey Docks until there is full disclosure about how the environment and the community are going to be affected by the proposal. Although the facility is located in Surrey, Coun. Jonathan Cote said Queensborough and the Quay are the most densely populated areas to be affected by the project. He said New Westminster council and residents are frustrated that Fraser Surrey Docks chose not to hold either of its open houses in the city. “Right now we are in a vacuum,” said Mayor Wayne Wright. “It is not acceptable.” On May 21, the Queensborough Residents’ Association received a presentation from Fraser Surrey Docks’ CEO Jeff Scott about the proposal. The group later voted unanimously

B.C. NDP failed to offer enough change IN MY OPINION

PAUL KERSHAW

he path from Opposition to government runs through Gen Squeeze. Fumbling to explain the massive gap between polls predicting an NDP win and the reality of a much larger majority for the Christy Clark Liberals, Angus Reid Public Opinion spokesperson Mario Conseco cites the NDP’s inability to excite younger British Columbians. He reported that polls gave the NDP a two-to-one lead over the Liberals among voters 18 to 34 years of age. “If that young vote decides not to show up, you’re kissing goodbye to a third of your base, and that’s exactly what happened.” This doesn’t come as a surprise to the Generation Squeeze Campaign. Our pre-election study showed both the Liberal and NDP platforms promised to grow spending for retirees at a rate that far outpaces investments in younger generations who disproportionately face the squeeze of lower wages and high housing prices. We therefore anticipated it would be difficult for either of the two major political parties

to motivate the under-45 demographic to turn out. B.C.’s 2013 election results confirm that many in the younger generations will continue to opt out of the political process when there is little choice between incumbent and opposition on issues that speak directly to the squeeze on generations X, Y and their kids. This insight has serious implications for parties in and out of power in jurisdictions across Canada. To begin with, while it may not be good for our democracy, one can understand why parties in power don’t feel the need to court the youth vote. They are winning without it. The election results show Christy Clark ran a masterful campaign emphasizing the rhetoric of growth and debt reduction to sell a platform which, by the numbers, will increase income taxes and corporate taxes to pay for increased spending – predominantly on seniors. With just half of British Columbians voting, she increased her party’s seats in the legislature on the basis of a mandate from around one-quarter of citizens … of which the largest block is over 55. Despite the B.C. NDP’s message of change under leader Adrian Dix, analyzing the numbers by age demonstrates that his party offered much the same platform as the Liberals. Higher income and corporate taxes to

almost infinite and immediate reach, one would think that it would be even more important to ensure that people can’t, without some very serious consequences, try to destroy someone’s reputation. Now, proving damages and holding malicious Internet individuals accountable, will be a challenge. Most of the comments/sites have been removed and even though Burke’s lawyer can send documents and links to those believed to be responsible – it can be an expensive process to manage through the courts.

Arrests a waste of resources Dear Editor:

Re: Police arrest three, The Record, May 29. Mayor Wayne Wright and council: I am writing to you to say I am shocked and saddened that at a time when most Canadians – and I am sure most residents of New Westminster – are overwhelmingly in favour of overhauling the antiquated and ridiculous laws against cannabis, you would waste our limited police resources to raid the N.I.C.E. dispensary on 12th Street on May 23.

Well, this could be one of those expensive life lessons. And rightly so.

elected officials and police should bother. As a resident of New West and a taxpayer, I strongly disagree with the actions taken against the dispensary. Please don’t proceed with this pointless and harmful prosecution of those involved in the running of this shop. From a personal point of view, I will tell you that my now deceased mother suffered through 11 years battling cancer, and cannabis was beneficial to her in many ways. That you would wilfully come between people who are genuinely suffering and this unique and highly effective medicine is not only personally offensive to me, but morally reprehensible. I can find no sane reason for such a police action. That this stupid law remains on the books is testament merely to how ignorant the lawmakers were of just a few decades ago.

Talk about mental health

Dear Editor:

If you had told me 10 years ago that I was going to face the challenges of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, anxiety and schizophrenia, get through it and come out stronger, I would have told you, you were crazy. But that’s exactly what happened to me. Now, I want to help change other youth’s experiences with mental health challenges by helping change the conversation. My challenges began when I was in Grade 10 and I started to notice changes in my personality. I stopped caring about my appearance, I couldn’t sleep through the night and I started wanting to just be alone. My family and friends thought my behavior was all part of being a teenager rather than symptoms of a serious mental condition. Why wouldn’t they? It was easy for people to think I was just being moody, going through hormonal changes, all normal things for a teenager. I didn’t know how to talk about what was going on.

It wasn’t until my first year of college when I had my first serious episode that I got the proper help I needed through the mental health-care system. With that support I was able to get on track towards a happier and healthier life. Today, I am a confident and outgoing criminology student at Douglas College, a stand-up comedian and a youth peer mentor with the Speak Up program. Speak Up gives me a chance to talk to other young people about how to see the signs in themselves and others, and that a mental health condition doesn’t define them. The most important message I pass on to everyone I meet is that having a mental health challenge is not something to be ashamed of, and most importantly, it’s not something to ignore. More people need to talk about how they’re feeling and what’s going on for them. We need to speak up and support each other – whether you ever face a mental health challenge or not. We need to face stigma head-on and make sure we tell young people and others to start to Speak Up. ◆ Fraser Health’s Speak Up program is supported by Coast Capital Savings and provides peer support, presentations in schools and an interactive space for young people to share their thoughts and feelings through art, writing, photography, videos or music on the Speak Up page on the mindcheck.ca website.

Clearly that was not the kind of change generations X and Y were looking for themselves or their young kids (although they are pleased to see an ongoing commitment toward the health of their parents and grandparents). The B.C. NDP will remain in opposition at least in part because they failed to prioritize the changes needed and wanted by younger generations. Opposition political parties seeking different outcomes across the country would be wise to learn from this outcome. On the road from opposition to government, leaders must compete more for the votes of those who currently elect not to

participate. Incumbents are being re-elected to power because they consistently win more support from the older part of the population who show up. This suggests the path from opposition to government may be less about convincing voters to shift their support from one party to another, and more about shifting young people from abstaining to voting. The B.C. NDP did not embrace this logic. Their effort to sell change “one practical step at a time” didn’t excite many in Generation Squeeze to opt back into the political process. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Bold, not incremental, adaptations are required to excite those who are strug-

gling with wages that are down $4 an hour despite having more post-secondary, and paying housing prices that are far, far higher than what they were in the mid-1970s. In sum, opposition parties across Canada that aspire to a better fate than the B.C. NDP should pay attention to the scale of the challenges facing generations X, Y and their kids – and design their platforms accordingly. Only then can we expect a greater proportion of younger generations to opt back into the voting process. And only then are opposition parties likely to translate large leads in the polls into large majorities in the legislature.

◗ ELECTION 2013

Final election tally shows Darcy took 48.7 per cent of vote in city BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

NDP candidate Judy Darcy garnered nearly half the votes cast in New Westminster in the May 14 provincial election. Elections B.C. released final voting results this week after counting absentee ballots. Darcy received 13,026 valid votes (48.70 per cent of the popular vote), followed by Liberal candidate Hector Bremner with 8,944 (33.44 per cent), Green candidate Terry Teather with 2,241 votes (8.38 per cent), B.C. Conservative candidate Paul Forseth with 1,307 votes (4.89 per cent), independent candidate James Crosty with 1,043 votes (3.90 per cent), and Libertarian candidate Lewis Dalhby with 189 votes (0.71 per cent). Following the May 14 election, Elections B.C. officials sorted through the absentee ballots and sent them to ridings throughout B.C. where they were counted

this week. “You can vote anywhere in the entire province,” said Vicki Bradbury, chief electoral officer for New Westminster. The final count was a continuation of a process that’s been underway for months before the election, including training 500 people to work the election in New Westminster, establishing voting places and planning for an enumeration that occurred in March. “A lot goes on behind the scenes to make it all happen,” Bradbury said. “It is a really good system.” One of the initiatives included outreach to ensure that people living in shelters and attending soup kitchens had the opportunity to vote. “All the shelter and soup kitchens supported the enumeration. We go out to the locations,” Bradbury said. “How many of them voted, I don’t know. They registered. The soup kitchen and shelter did a great job. I was thrilled.”

New auditor general will look at city’s police budget, process BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

The province’s auditor general for local government will be taking a close look at New Westminster’s police management and budget during the first round of municipal audits to be completed next spring. Basia Ruta – who was appointed auditor general for local government in January – announced Thursday that she will be conducting five performance audits on various municipal topics across the province, culminating in reports to be released in March and August, 2014. New Westminster has been chosen as one of six cities that will be audited on “local government performance in managing policing agreements and police budget oversight,” according to a press release. “The selection of local governments was developed following best efforts for a comprehensive performance audit planning process that began shortly after I began work as (auditor general for local

government),” Ruta said in the release. “This process included extensive consultation with local governments and other stakeholders on issues most relevant to them.” There are five topics for the audits, including value for money in operational procurement; managing police agreements and police budget oversight; local government’s role in ensuring clean drinking water; capital projects and asset management programs; and managing the risks of limited human resources within small local governments. The goal of these performance audits is to ensure local governments are doing as much as they can to “deliver value for the tax dollars they spend,” Ruta said. According to the release, for the duration of the audit there will be an audit team sent to New Westminster, which will include government staff as well as contracted auditors.

Turn in guns for amnesty month BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Come June, New Westminster residents will have the opportunity to dispose of any unwanted and unregistered firearms or weapons through a provincial gun amnesty program. The program – which is a collaboration between the provincial government, the RCMP and the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police – will run until the end of June. During this time anyone with an unregistered or unwanted firearm, weapon, imitation weapon and related equipment, including ammunition,

can declare it to the New Westminster Police Department, according to a press release. Anyone with a weapon or firearm they’d like to turn in to New Westminster police must follow three important steps: call the police department at 604-525-5411; callers will then be asked to give the make, model and calibre of the firearms being turned over, as well as any ammunition; and then a police officer will pick up the weapons to seize and transport them “in a safe manner.” “Members of the public are asked not to transport the firearms or ammunition,” states the release.

People are also asked not to bring them directly to the New Westminster Police Department office. The aim of this provincewide program is to improve community and police safety by reducing the number of firearms in cities and towns throughout B.C. During the last gun amnesty program in 2006, more than 3,200 guns were turned into police. Some of the more unique declarations included a rocket launcher and machine gun, according to the release.

approved food scraps you toss into them. The bags, which come in two sizes, are comprised of a paper exterior lined with a patented natural ﬁbre made from cellulose – a kind of “clear paper” that’s been in use for at least a century. “We’ve actually had consumers contact us after looking inside our bags and mistaking the lining for plastic, which, of course, it isn’t,” O’Neill states. “Cellulose is a 100% compostable material that will fully disappear back into the earth, just like the coffee grounds, eggshells, spaghetti sauce and banana peels you put into our bags. In other words, it helps to complete the organic loop.” Plastic bags, even those labelled biodegradable or compostable, he continues, have no place in an organic food waste program, as they actually “back up” the process. “Say you line the green bin that’s in your kitchen or the larger one on your curb with plastic and then you put your organics directly into that plastic for pickup,” he says. “What you end up with is a plastic bag sitting in the city’s compost site and backing it up because it’s a non-compostable material. It totally negates the purpose.” By lining your kitchen and/or outdoor bin with a Bag To Earth Food Waste Bag, however, all of the material – food waste and bag – that’s taken from your home by your municipality will return to the earth in its entirety. The question remains: why would any well-meaning resident put plastic inside a bin, when the contents of that bin are meant for compost? O’Neill says it often comes down to cleanliness. “Leftover food scraps can be slimy and stinky, and even those of us with the best intentions when it comes to the environment may be deterred from participating in a composting program due to the mess,”

Bag To Earth makes products to ease the composting process and encourage participation in municipally run food waste programs

The Record • Friday, May 31, 2013 • A09

Bag To Earth Food Waste Bags are made from all-natural materials designed to disappear fully into the earth along with any approved food scraps you toss into them, thus helping to complete the organic loop. he says. “Our Food Waste Bags, however, solve this problem by keeping your bins clean and odour free.” Not only is the cellulose liner in every Bag To Earth Food Waste Bag totally leak-proof, keeping unpleasant smells from escaping is as simple as rolling down the top of the bag and sealing it with a clip or clothespin. Additionally, each Food Waste Bag’s flat bottom means it can either be placed in your green bin or set as a standalone right on your kitchen counter. “When the bag’s full, just run it out and put it in your curbside bin,” says O’Neill. “No need to dump it out; the bag goes right in and returns to the earth completely, from the lining to the tie … right down to the print on the exterior. And, if you wish, line your outdoor bin with one of our larger-sized bags. You won’t need to hose down the interior due to food scraps getting stuck on the sides and making a mess.” Each small Bag To Earth Food Waste Bag, one of which will last a family of four about a week (just enough time to fill and place curbside for pickup), costs approximately $0.50 – that’s just $26 a year. Again, O’Neill emphasizes the fact that “nothing about our Food Waste Bags compromises the composting aspect.” In fact, Bag To Earth relies on the success of municipally run food waste programs. “We follow these programs very closely and regularly update our website with the latest information from across the country,” he says. “Consumers are more than welcome to visit www.bagtoearth.com to find details about their local food waste program, as well as a list of retailers in their area that carry our products.”

Ottawa students paddle into New Westminster BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A group of students from Ottawa paddled to New Westminster as part of an outdoor classroom experience. Nine Grade 9 to 11 students from Ottawa’s Academie de la Capitale, accompanied by several adults, boarded two

large canoes at Pitt Lake and paddled for four days to Jericho Beach. Along the way, they camped at designated spots and met and paddled with local First Nations, experts from non-governmental organizations, and leaders from government and other groups in order to observe, discuss and learn about the impacts of human activity and land use on the river.

“We are paddling under the banner of the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity,” said trip coordinator Barbara Odenwald. During the Paddling for Biodiversity journey, participants collected samples of the water and various species. After canoeing the Fraser River, the students departed for Vancouver Island where they analyzed

their findings. On May 26, participants in the Paddling for Biodiversity dropped by Fraser River Discovery Centre on the recommendation of New Westminster-Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly. Before continuing their journey to Vancouver, the students met with the centre’s executive director, Catherine Ouelett-Martin.

A Sense of History Research Services is taking folks on a tour of the changing neighbourhood around Irving House. This month’s tour is taking place on Sunday, June 2 and gets underway at 1:30 p.m. at the closed portion of Fourth

Street at Queens Avenue. It will end one-and-a-half to two hours later near the front of city hall. A press release noted the area around Irving House on Royal Avenue has undergone a lot of change through the years. “Saint Mary’s Hospital has come down and a new school will soon go up on the site. Royal Columbian Hospital used to be nearby and a former high school was just down the block,” stated the press release. “An older apartment building has recently been torn down and a new structure is rising a block from Capt. and Mrs. William Irving’s former home. Irving House, an historic centre since 1950, has been prominent in the area since the family moved in during the summer of

1865.” This weekend’s tour will explore changes in the area, including the two hospitals, many churches and religious buildings, a number of fine homes, an orphanage, a small “putt-putt” golf course, a small fire hall, early schools, park reserves, a street car line and more. The walking tour is $10 and runs rain or shine.

Food trucks rollin’ into town

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster wants to join the “culinary convoy” and hold a food truck festival this summer. The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area is planning a food truck festival that would feature gourmet food trucks from across Metro Vancouver, live music and a beer garden on Columbia Street. The event will be held on Saturday, Aug. 10 on Columbia Street between Fourth and Sixth streets. “Food trucks are highly, highly popular,” said Kendra Johnston, the association’s executive director. Johnston said the idea for a food truck festival came about after it was announced that the Waldorf Hotel in Vancouver was closing, as food truck festivals had been a big hit there last summer. The Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Area believes Columbia Street is the perfect spot for a food truck festival because of its proximity to SkyTrain and neighbouring venues such as the Heritage Grill. The association believes the food truck festival could

Johnston said the twoblock area between Fourth and Sixth streets is a

compact area that’s large enough to accommodate about 15 food trucks. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “I noticed at Uptown Live how big of a magnet they are.” In addition to the Uptown Live street party, food trucks have also been popular features at the Show and Shine and the DiverseCity multicultural festivals in New Westminster.

City administrator Lisa Spitale said a staff team has already been assembled and is looking into the logistics of the food truck festival. “It is certainly something staff are aware of.” Council gave its support to the association’s proposed food truck festival. “We will be supporting you, and eating there,” said Mayor Wayne Wright. The festival has also garnered the support of downtown businesses.

We are looking for adults, aged 65 and over, and who are ﬂuent in English to take part in a research project on thinking abilities in aging. Our study involves one face-to-face appointment at SFU Burnaby campus that will take approximately 2 hours. Participants will complete several interactive activities assessing decision-making, perspective taking, memory, and other thinking abilities. Participants will receive $20.00 for time and travel expenses.

School board meetings go live CLASS ACT NIKI HOPE

he New Westminster board of education meetings are about to get even livelier. The board is now live streaming its meetings through the City of New Westminster’s website, which means parents and other interested stakeholders can watch the board meetings – held at city hall – from the comfort of their home. “You can watch it at home with a glass of red wine, or white wine – whatever your preference is,” board chair Michael Ewen said. Live streaming the meetings is something Ewen said he’s wanted to do for two years, but was told it would cost the district money. “It turns out there

isn’t a cost to it,” he said. “Anyway, we got the chance to live stream it. It turns out it’s very straightforward. If we don’t have an operator there, it’s onecamera wide … the audio is fairly good, the picture is internet-streaming quality.” A city hall staff member asked the school district if it wanted to live stream the meetings, which are usually held in city hall chambers. The City of New Westminster also live streams its city council meetings. “I’m so thrilled, it’s one way that we can reach out to folks who want to actually watch this but don’t want to come out to meetings,” Ewen said. To access the archived video stream, visit the city’s website at www. newwestcity.ca, click on the Council Video Coverage link, click either Live Player or Archive Player and select the meeting date in the red font, click on Search and then click the School Board meeting.

Ewen said he wants to archive the meetings onto the school district’s website.

Fundraising drive

Parents at École John Robson School and the local chapter of Canadian Parents for French are getting behind the wheel to raise funds for their school. They hope to raise $6,000 at the Ford testdrive fundraising event in which Key West Ford of New West will donate $20 for every complete testdrive application (limit one per household). Parents want the community to come out to show their support for public education and help them weather this difficult time of budget deficits and provide gap-funding for cuts to educational programs and services, says a media release. The event is being held at the upper parking lot of École John Robson School at 120 Eighth St. on June 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The goal of the fund-

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

Adventures in Dreamland Summer Camp Burnaby Bible Hour is a multi-cultural youth group that has had a strong presence in the community for thirty-ﬁve years. The group meets every Monday evening September-April from 6:30-7:30 for an exciting night of singing, activities, and lessons from the Bible. We offer age-appropriate classes for kids ages 2-18, and there is an adult ESL class at the same time. We have a summer camp every year, and this year it will run from 10:30-12 every morning from August 12th-16th. We are so excited to announce that this year’s topic will be Adventures in Dreamland! We are busy planning dreamy snacks and prizes to match the Bible dream stories we will be teaching each day. We run an exciting contest each year, where the three people who bring the most new kids get to choose a prize, and this year the prizes will be extra-dreamy! There will be more dreamy prizes for memorization of verses and two kids will receive a prize each day just for being the best boy or the best girl! Something really exciting will happen on the

last day, but you will have to come to ﬁnd out what it is!! This is a Bible-based club. Why? We believe the Bible has practical and moral lessons for everyone. It teaches respect for authority and obedience to parents, and is full of life lessons. It is an integral part of world history and literature and the basis of Canada’s laws. Most importantly, however, it tells us God’s plan of salvation and what it truly means to be a Christian.

Burnaby Bible Hour has grown from a small group of twelve kids in a private home to the large group it is today. It was run out of Lakeview School for many years, until it found a permanent home in the South Burnaby Gospel Hall building at the corner of Elwell and Grifﬁths. With ample parking and a bright interior it is a lovely location for us. Burnaby Bible Hour is a great place for kids to meet new friends while hanging out in a safe place. It’s also a great place for parents to meet other parents. So we invite you to come and dream with us in the summer, or join us for our regular winter activities. You’ll be glad you did! If you have enquiries or would to like to register for the summer camp, please call 604-526-6008.

Wealth of seniors’ health info at library

BY HEATHER HORTNESS CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

It’s important to remain healthy and active in your later years so you can continue to enjoy your family and friends, travelling, work and hobbies. If you have concerns about your health, please speak to your physician. There is also a wealth of health resources at the New Westminster Public Library, and the friendly staff are there to help you with your information needs. Here are some recommended resources. Senior Living magazine and Clarion (which contains Century House activities) are some great resources to help you stay active and healthy. The B.C. government has produced the informative Seniors’ Guide (available in English, French, Chinese and Punjabi) and Healthy Eating for Seniors (English, Chinese and Punjabi). All of these resources are also accessible online. Anatomy of Exercise for 50+ by Hollis Lance Liebman and Yoga for Women at Midlife and Beyond by Pat Shapiro may inspire you to get moving. You may enjoy Andrew Weil’s book

Healthy Aging: A Lifelong Guide to Your Physical and Spiritual Well-being, or his DVD Dr. Andrew Weil’s Healthy Aging. The library also has a number of books on specific conditions, such as diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and living with disability. If you are comfortable using a computer with Internet connection, you can access the latest health articles in the Gale Encyclopedia of Senior Health at the library or from the comfort of your home. Simply click on Resources at the top of the library’s website – www. nwpl.ca – and scroll down to the Gale Virtual Reference Library. By clicking on Seniors’ Information at the left side of the page, you can access trusted informational websites. Electronic books you can read on your computer, tablet, eReader or phone are also available. Try Living Agelessly by Linda Altoonian. For help using eBooks, please speak to one of the librarians, who would be happy to help you. For basic assistance in using computers and the Internet, the library offers free one-on-one computer tutorials.

Springing into the past

ach year we have tried in this column to include some local anniversary dates as reminders of how the community has changed since the city’s beginning. In looking back to the spring seasons of past decades, we find a few instances that are both interesting and pertinent to some recent events. Going back just 50 years, we find one related to the history of The Royal Westminster Regiment. It was in the third week of May 1963, that the Westminster Regiment, not yet with the term ”Royal,” was given the Freedom of the City of New Westminster. During this past week, New Westminster welcomed a visiting delegation from Moriguchi, Japan, who have enjoyed exploring their sister city and actively participating on May 25 in the Hyack

years to April of 1863 and yet another park area, a large piece of land to be “reserved in the Suburbs.” In 1863, the plans for the city were being laid down on the forested and heavily bush-covered landscape. It was a piece of that rough and rugged landscape that city council determined to set aside. From council minutes we read: “In consequence of the judicious selection of the town site of New Westminster for the Capital of British Columbia by Colonel Moody, Royal Engineers, this council consider it desirable that a space of not less than ‘20 acres’ should be reserved in the suburbs now being surveyed to be called ‘Moody Square’ in commemoration of the founder of the city.” This is, of course, today’s Moody Park, that continues to be a vital and extremely active open area in the city – set aside and named 150 years ago. It would be many years before the park area was developed, but the action of reserving the land made it available. Many other reserves and squares from the early plans were sold and subdivided.

OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

Festival parade. Fifty years ago, in early 1963, a ceremony took place in Moriguchi which formalized the sister-city relationship between the two cities. Then mayor Beth Wood travelled to Japan for the ceremony, and later that year the mayor of Moriguchi, Masataka Kizaki, came to the Royal City to formalize the event. The most recent delegation continues this ongoing relationship, 50 years and counting, the first of its kind in Canada after the Second World War. Another 50-year anniversary related to our first sister city, concerns the favourite and very popular park area now known as Friendship Gardens, then the Japanese Gardens. The forested area, greatly damaged by typhoon Freda in 1962, was to be redeveloped into a Japanese garden in recognition of the sister city arrangement and in late May, 1963, an expenditure of not more than $33,500 was authorized by the city for construction of the new park space. Those are three 50-year anniversaries, but the next will take us back 150

Fast times at St. Thomas More

Knight wins B.C. golf title

A 4x100m win would set a new B.C. record

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The St. Thomas More Knights 4x400 metre boys’ relay team is one win away from establishing itself as the fastest program in the province. The Knights foursome of Massimo Pozzolo, Malcom Lee, Sebastian Adugalski and Giovanni Trasolini clocked a seasonbest 43.3 at the Oregon Relays earlier this month and boast the quickest seed time heading into the B.C. high school track and field championship meet in Langley Friday. A win would give STM seniors Adugalski and Trasolini, and the school, their third straight senior gold medal in the event. That feat would match an earlier program threepeat from 2006 to 2008. when a Knights’ relay team of Daniel Wierzibicki, Keenan Parker, Sam Carino and Cesar Abraham posted a program-best 43.08 time in 2007. STM also won the 400m relay in 1997 and 1989, with future Olympian Peter Ogilvie, who still holds the provincial high school 100m sprint record at 10.46. The Burnaby independent school is currently tied with Mt. Douglas Secondary, both with seven wins in the 4x100m. The south Vancouver Island school achieved its winning string in an eight-year span, beginning in 1969 and including six consecutive titles from 1971 to ’76.

Fast friends: From left, Massimo Pozzolo, Malcom Lee, Giovanni Trasolini and Sebastian Adugalski are looking to bring St. Thomas More Collegiate its eighth 4x100 metre provincial boys’ relay title. This season, Mt. Doug’s boys’ relay team placed second in the Island championships in a time of 45.48. “The history means a lot,” said Lee, who runs the second leg of the relay. “It’s good for our school. We work hard and we take a lot of pride in it. It’s an expectation now.” Newcomer to the team is junior Massimo Pozzolo, who will run the lead leg. “It puts a lot of pressure on us. But as they say, ‘It can either make you collapse, or make diamonds,’ and I think that will honestly help us,” Pozzolo said.

Lee and Trasolini will also compete in the individual sprints, while Adugalski qualified in the 400m and 400m hurdles. Not to be outdone, STM girls’ sprint relay team of Jordana Blaeser, Alexis Llewellyn, Rachel Shuttleworth and Grade 9 sensation Zion Corrales Nelson also have a prime opportunity to bring a firstever B.C. title in the sprint relay to the program. “Last year we came third. This year we’re aiming at the gold, and we think we have a pretty good shot,” said Shuttleworth, ◗Relay Page 23

Grade 12 senior Alan Tolusso is this year’s winner of the B.C. high school AA golf championships. The St. Thomas More Collegiate student carded a two-over-par 142 at Arbutus Ridge Golf and Country Club on Tuesday to top the individual leaderboard nine strokes ahead of runner-up Tristan Mandur of Mill Bay. Tolusso, who won an unofficial high school title last year at the same Arbutus Ridge course, was consistent through 36 holes under inclement conditions at the two-day tournament, committing just six bogies, while making two birdies and an eagle on Day 1 on the par 5 10th hole. STM’s Kevin Vigna suffered a hand strain on Day 1 and was forced to abandon his round, but came back on the Tuesday to match Tolusso with a twounder 70. The loss of Vigna’s opening day score to the team’s cumulative total cost STM its fifth straight AA high school provincial title. Kwalikum Secondary took top spot with a 624 team total, while Shawnigan Lake placed second eight shots back. STM finished in third place with a 638 total after coming back on Day 2 to card a tournament-best 302 team 18-hole score. ◗Golf Page 23

Fast ﬁrst period turns tables on junior Thunder BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies won an early season must-win matchup 11-10 over the Langley Thunder on Tuesday. Earlier last week, the junior A Salmonbellies were knocked off 13-9 in overtime by the Thunder in Langley and were in jeopardy of falling below .500 heading into Queen’s Park against the No. 2 nationally ranked visitors. But a strong first New Westminster period set the tone for an all-important B.C. Junior Lacrosse League win.

“We knew we had to come out with a good first period and that’s what we did. It paid off,” said New West’s Quinn Smith, who sparked the opening surge with his first hat trick of the season. Anthony Malcom, who led all scorers with seven points, opened the scoring with his first of two tallies on the power play. Quinn, a Kamloops product in his final year of junior A, then made the score 2-0 less than two minutes in, scoring off a screened shot from the left side on former Salmonbellie keeper Spencer England. Langley quickly replied with

a pair in the ensuing minute, but New West built up a 6-2 lead before the period’s end on four unanswered markers, including a heads-up goal by Daniel Perreault on a rebound off a breakaway shot on goal by Justin Goodwin. But both teams tightened up a bit defensively in the middle period, allowing Langley to creep to within 9-6 despite the ’Bellies outshooting the visitors by nearly two-to-one. Langley opened the third with two goals from long range on starter Frank Scigliano, but a quick answer by Perreault off the ensuing faceoff silenced any signficant momentum shift.

“You could feel a bit of momentum going (Langley’s) way. That was a big goal. We needed that one from Daniel. Yeah, that was big,” said Smith. Jimmy McBride eventually got the game-winner at 18:21 on the power play, burying his second of the game from the right crease to give the Salmonbellies a threepoint bulge. Langley got two goals back in the final minute of play with England on the bench for a sixth attacker. The win drew the 5-4 Salmonbellies to within two points of first place in a five-team logjam atop the B.C. junior lead-

derboard. Victoria, Coquitlam and Delta all sit atop the eight-team loop with six wins and 12 points. “All the top teams in B.C. are close,” Smith said. “We know we are a good team. We can’t just beat the botttom feeders. We have to win the games that count and hopefully we can build off this one.” New Westminster has another big game this Saturday in Victoria, when it takes on the Shamrocks at Bear Mountain Arena. The junior ’Bellies are back at home for a tilt against the lastplace Burnaby Lakers at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday, June 4.

Relay: N.W. medal hopes

Driver gets new rides

Michael Valiante will be behind the wheel of a CorvetteDaytonaPrototype for 8Star Motorsports at the Diamond Cellar Classic at Mid-Ohio on June 14-15. Valiante will partner with Pedro Lamy in the No. 3 entry, as full-season driver Stephane Sarrazin will be unavailable due to his duties at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Toyota. Valiante, along with Brazilian ace Rafa Matos both got their first taste of 8Star’s Corvette DP in a test at Sebring earlier this week. Matos heads to MidOhio as the defending race winner, having scored top honors last year in a Spirit of Daytona Corvette with Ricard Westbroook. This weekend, Valiante will race for Michael Shanks Racing at the Rolex Series Chevrolet Grand-Am 200 in Detroit.

the lone senior on the team. The STM women qualified for the championships with the No. 1 seed time in the province. “It would mean a lot. Obviously, the guys have done well, but both of us coming first would be a huge celebration,” said Blaeser. Running anchor for the girls’ team is Corrales Nelson, who will also compete in the individual 100, 200 and 400m. “She’s gifted, for sure,” said Llewellyn. The teams credit their coaches with preparing them for what is ahead, and the school body in general for its unconditional support. “We try to set an example on the track and in school, and to play a big role in being positive examples,” Adugalski said. “Hopefully we can say the ultimate thank you by giving our best performance on Friday,” Trasolini added. New Westminster will be well represented by Raquel Tjernagel in the girls’ 200 and 400m, while Bogdan Pavel and Mihailo Stefanovic are medal contenders in the boys’ 110m hurdles. Stefanovic is also a medal hopeful in the triple jump. Ethan Strome should also make the final of the boys’ 400m hurdles. The B.C.s wrap up Saturday at McLeod Park in Langley.

Staying ahead: The Vancouver Whitecaps remain unbeaten in the Paciﬁc Coast Soccer League women’s premier division with a recent 4-0 win over Peninsula.

Golf: STM girls take part at provincials for ﬁrst time ◗ continued from page 22

“I was just really, really proud of everybody, especially (Kevin),” said STM coach Joe Thierman. “The course was outstanding in its ability to absorb the water. There was little

standing water on the fairways. But it was very trying.” For the first time, STM had girls taking part at the provincials. Mary Parsons finished 28th overall on the strength of an opening round

78. Breanna Croxen was three strokes back tied for 31st with a 171 total. Brendan Lancaster bounced back after a dismal Day 1, finishing the tournament with a nine-over 79 to finish 46th.
