Calming traffic in Massey Victory Heights BY MARELLE REID REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Manon Boyle, a crossing guard at F.W. Howay Elementary School, has been helping a stream of kids, parents, strollers and dogs get across the street on their way to and from school for the past 11 years. Boyle loves her job at the corner of Cumberland Street and Rickman Place, and the kids seem to love her, too, calling her “M” and always offering a friendly greeting to her and her little cockapoo, Daisy, who patiently waits while Boyle does her job. She says she’s gotten to know the Massey Victory Heights neighbourhood “to a tee” and knows the residents’ schedules like clockwork. Every morning, one elderly gentleman takes a daily walk at the same time, and she knows when some drivers are late for work as she sees them drive the same route every day. “If people are late, I just look at my watch, and they go, ‘I know, I’m late,’” she says, laughing. From her perspective, Boyle says not much has changed in the neighbourhood since she started at her post as crossing guard – except for the traffic. Boyle said she’s seen a “huge” increase in traffic in the last decade on Cumberland Street, and she still sees people talking on their cellphones. “Most of the speeders are women,” she says. “They’re supermoms getting from A to B.”

Jason Lesage, president of the Massey Victory Heights Residents’ Association, said “rat runners” are only a mild concern in the quieter streets of the neighbourhood, and, even then, they’re not as much a concern as in other areas of New Westminster. “I give credit to the city of New Westminster,” he said. “They’ve done a good job in implementing traffic-calming procedures.” Jim Lowrie, director of engineering for the city of New Westminster, confirmed the city established several traffic-calming elements in the late 1990s, including blocking off streets and restricting left turns from arterial routes, and he noted that within the last five years, the city has taken steps to improve pedestrian crosswalks on Eighth and Tenth avenues. Today, the city is considering further traffic restrictions in the area, such as banning commercial trucks from using Eighth Avenue. “It’s something that we’re very much aware of and on the livability of the neighbourhood,” he said. For Boyle, she says she’ll continue in her position as crossing guard for as long as she can because it’s important to the people who have come to be like family to her. “I love all the people around there,” she says. “I love all my parents, I love all my kids. I can’t wait to see how much they’ve grown over the summer and make a big deal about it. I give them all goody bags at the end of the year. They’re very kind, and they’re my peeps.”

Former mayor at home in Massey Helen Sparkes, ex New Westminster mayor, raised her family in the Massey Victory Heights area after ﬁrst moving there in 1977 BY MARELLE REID REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Former New Westminster mayor Helen Sparkes remembers growing up on the other side of the Fraser River and coming across the Pattullo Bridge to “town,” where the shopping, social events and community services were all found in the Royal City. In those days, before the Port Mann Bridge was built, New West’s downtown was the place to be on weekends, when teens would meet at the roller skating rink and everyone would enjoy the theatres, shopping and social events. Our It was at a dance that Sparkes met her husband, Fred Sparkes, who was born and raised in New Westminster, and they’ve put down deep roots here since getting married in 1960. The couple bought their first house in the Massey Victory Heights neighbourhood, back when it was known as “Snob Hill” because of the number of doctors, lawyers and other professionals who owned property in the area. Today, the Sparkes are in their second home in that neighbourhood, on Mott Crescent, which they bought in 1977. “It’s been a good area, and we love it,” Sparkes said. “People come over and when they see it they say, ‘Oh, what a pretty little street.’” Having young kids when they moved in, Sparkes said the neighbourhood was a great place for youngsters to grow up, and little has changed. Her granddaughter,

Memories of days gone by in Massey Victory Heights BY MARELLE REID REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

The Second World War ended in May 1945, and everywhere across North America people could be seen flashing the V for victory sign on the streets that summer. Here in New Westminster, a new residential neighbourhood was in the works for those returning from battle overseas. The new area in the northernmost part of town was to be known, most appropriately, as Victory Heights. What had been a vast rural area with a goat farm,

pumpkin patch on both sides of Columbia Street, and a single homestead with livestock, bordered by bush and timber, quickly became the most modern and coveted land for veterans as well as civilians. The City of New Westminster opened the sale of the lots on Oct. 1 of that year, for a period of 30 days, exclusively for returning veterans at a sale price of 30 per cent of the assessed land value. After that, regular citizens were able to purchase lots for 75 per cent of the assessed land value for another 30 day period. One resident recalls her

parents waiting in line for several days at city hall to buy a lot for less than $1,000. Donnabelle Olenick recalls living for 17 years in the house her father built himself in 1951 and where he and her mother lived until 1985. “We were aware of the excitement of our parents as the land in Victory Heights was going on the market,” she wrote in an anecdote for a Royal City history collection. The only caveat for buying the lots was that the land had to be used immediately for the purpose of building new homes. The rule needn’t have been

applied, however, since the desire for a modern home in a new neighbourhood was widespread in the Royal City. “The war is over, people are looking at moving ahead, there’s money, you can now drive your car because you can get gasoline,” noted local historian Archie Miller. “I mean, there’s just so many things happening after the war that there’s an excitement about being able to get property that’s never been built on.” By 1953, development had begun on the Massey Heights section, named

A neighbourhood of memories BY MARELLE REID REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

In 2000, the city’s Millennium Project allowed local neighbourhoods to put together a “memory book” for each neighbourhood of New Westminster. Massey Victory Heights resident Lisa Graham collected stories and anecdotes from local residents in her neighbourhood at that time. Here are a few of the anecdotes, including her own memories, taken from this collection: Graham, on the quality of healthcare provided in the early 1960s: “In 1961, when Grandma Pausche took ill with a bad case of pneumonia, the family doctor, Dr. Piercy, was called to the house.

after the Governor General, Vincent Massey, and 32 of 46 lots were sold in this section within one month between William Street and McBride Boulevard, according to Miller. The original boundary plans for Victory Heights were between TenthAvenue to the north, Eighth Avenue to the south, Richmond Street at the east, and First Street to the west. Today, however, the boundaries for both Victory and Massey Heights, collectively known simply as the Heights, are considered to be between Tenth and Eighth and between East Columbia Street and McBride Boulevard, with William Street being the division between the two areas. As it was in the midcentury, the entire Heights neighbourhood is still considered by local residents to be an oasis within the city. While the bordering roadways are busy traffic routes, the quiet residential

streets between them make September, a family fun for a safe and quiet place day block party for all local to live, which is much the residents.

Sparkes: Values history of New Westminster ◗ continued from page 3

One of the initiatives she is most proud of in regards to her term in office is in being instrumental in getting the Fraser River Discovery Centre going by securing the building that the centre now occupies. “I think that’s a wonderful asset for the city as well as the river,” she said. “It’s such a part of our history, I

mean, the whole history of New West is based on the river.” Today, the Sparkes enjoy spending time with their grandchildren, three of whom are former Salmonbellies lacrosse players, and continue to enjoy being a part of their community.

Fred is the captain of the Hyack Anvil battery, and Helen has twice fought to keep the 143-yearold local May Our Day celebrations going. “There’s just so much history in this city,” she said.

Local reporter wins Celebrity Fast Draw IN MY OPINION

STEFANIA SECCIA

have never been one to play with guns. Any and all of my knowledge about weapons, as for most of my friends, stems from movies, TV, video games and the Internet. I was a big player of the Lara Croft: Tomb Raider games, zombie survival-horrors and even my guilty pleasure, Call of Duty. All I knew was I aimed my weapon at a target, pressed the left-click mouse button and watched my virtual foes fall before me. No real casualties, no safety issues, and I was perfectly comfortable sitting on my couch. Now fast-forward to Saturday and a cowboy is strapping a leather holster to my hip and placing a six-shooter inside, telling me I’ve got to pull that thing as fast as possible to defeat my competitors. No console screen, no virtual terrorist, but a real target while holding a real gun. Let’s just say it was different. Beads of sweat were running down my face as I stood in an awkward position in a lacrosse box, and I stared so intensely at a light and balloon like never

before. I was competing in the women’s division of the Celebrity Fast Draw Challenge, put on by the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club. Not only did I come first while representing the paper in my division, but I also picked up a second trophy for having the women’s fastest shot at .597 of a second. I guess my virtual training paid off. I had never shot a real gun before. A BB gun, sure, a paintball gun, absolutely – I think there was that one time I played laser tag, too. I went to the Langley Rod and Gun Club, where the Thunderbird club hosted practice the night before for the celebrities to prep for the big day. I didn’t mind paying the $6 bridge toll to get out to Langley, because I needed to know what I had to do and how I was expected to do it. I’ll admit, leading up to the event, my biggest concern was shooting myself before the revolver even left my leather holster, borrowed from a very nice cowboy. I had many tips thrown at me with the hopes they’d stick – at one point I was told to pretend I was punching someone, or pointing at them like I meant it, and to focus on accuracy as speed would follow. The next day when I was lined up against my opponents,

Royal City ruled by monopolies

Dear Editor:

The April edition of MoneySense magazine reported on the best place to live in Canada, and New Westminster declined, now only ranked at 89. Obviously the ranking system doesn’t take into consideration, for example, the detrimental health effects of too much noise from the SkyTrain, big trucks and long freight trains, as well as too much air pollution, especially diesel engine particulates, a known cancer-causing agent – sort of like second-hand cigarette smoke 24 hours a day – from the too-many big diesel engine trucks and too-long multi-diesel engine freight trains, both without adequate diesel engine particulate air filters. No doubt the ranking, especially for downtown, where more and more people are being exposed to the sickening ◗Gunslinger Page 7 life-shortening health effects would go even farther

down – maybe almost to the bottom of the list. A while ago, a well known TV talk show host said Windsor, Ont. is the A-hole of Canada. Windsor, also on a river but not part of beautiful B.C., is ranked higher at 80 than New Westminster. The really best features of New Westminster have been around for many years, long before the current mayor and council. In the past 10 years, New Westminster has become more and more a mediocre and probably the highest-taxed city in the country. The British Columbia Fraser Institute, based on actual school performances, ranked the schools in New Westminster, mostly below and much below the average at 193, 363, 647 and 773. Of course, there is a lot of criticism of the rankings system, especially from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, who not only disagree with the FSA ◗New Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New West scores low rank ◗ continued from page 6

testing, but everything else education experts have to suggest and say the report does not adequately reflect the school and actual teachers’ performance. Once again, at best, mediocre performance and higher costs for the taxpayers. The too-long serving leadership of the New Westminster school board has stumbled from crisis to crisis for more than a decade – not good for the teachers, not good for the students and their parents. The CBC Survey of Hospitals in Canada reported the Royal Columbian Hospital only got a below-average C grade for large community hospitals. In fact, it was ranked in the bottom four. The nursing was a major concern getting only a D. Again, below mediocre performance with very high costs for the taxpayers. So obviously, there must be a logical explanation for all the mediocre performance and high costs in New Westminster – city, schools and hospitals. It is well known that monopolies usually provide mediocre performance with high costs. Even worse are monopolies like big unions, especially education and health care within a big monopoly like the public sector. Report, after report, including the CLC, says on average big public sector union members are over compensated by 10 to 15 per cent, or $5 an hour, or $10,000 a year, etc. There is a group in New Westminster that is very consistent and chose political representatives that seem to prefer mediocrity, higher costs, higher debt and higher taxes. Allan Solie, New Westminster

Costly city for businesses

Dear Editor:

Re: Taxes hit industry hardest, The Record, July 17. As the old saying goes, there are lies, damn lies and statistics. It seems that when it comes to municipal tax rates, the City of New Westminster prescribes to the third axiom in this old saying by using statistics to bury the fact that it has the second-highest commercial tax costs of the 16 municipalities west of Georgia Strait

and east of the Pitt River/Langley-Surrey border. According to your article, city staff has reported to council that our rates are only slightly higher than the average, which I guess is true if 4.75 per cent can be considered only ‘“slightly” higher. What, as a business owner/operator, I would like to know, is the total actual difference in city charges for services like, water, sewer, garbage and hydro – in addition to the property tax rate – in comparison to other municipalities? Of course, we need to remember that New Westminster is the only Metro Vancouver city that has its own electric utility, which buys power from B.C. Hydro at wholesale rates and charges it out at rates equivalent to the hydro rates others pay directly to B.C. Hydro. This exercise puts us in the enviable position of operating a utility that delivers net revenues, in excess of operating costs, directly to the city. What we should also remember is there is a single service provider for water and sewer services throughout Metro Vancouver and all municipalities pay an equivalent rate to Metro Vancouver. The difference in rates from city to city is driven by the individual municipality, and, from personal experience, I’ve learned that these differences can be staggering, with rates varying as much as 2,000 to 3,000 per cent, with New Westminster being one of the highest, if not the highest. Your article quotes Randy Grant as saying, “Typically, rents tend to be lower in New West than in Burnaby and East Vancouver,” and statistically speaking, he may be right, but one needs to remember that these lower rates are often because the properties available in New West are much older on average. I’d like to see the apples-to-apples comparisons of new commercial spaces in New West (shops at New Westminster Station comes to mind), which are still experiencing significantly higher vacancy rates than similar properties in the two neighbouring municipalities in spite of the “advantage” of its unique interaction with the SkyTrain (an advantage that won’t be unique for long). Another old saying comes to mind – a sucker is born every minute. It seems city staff believes they all live in New West!

a variety of female politicians from Langley and the provincial government, all the words of encouragement and direction came together, and I popped my balloon three out of the four times – much to the delight of the fast draw expert whose holster and gun I had borrowed.

Thanks, Dan. What I took away from the experience, other than I’m one hell of a shot, was that the more I learned about guns the safer I felt handling one. I don’t think you have to be pro-gun to agree, as I’m certainly not on any side of that debate, but as goes with most things,

Claude P. Dettloff was a humble man, but it’s safe to say he’d be pleased to see his iconic Wait For Me, Daddy photograph immortalized in a war memorial. Candace Macpherson, who is Dettloff’s granddaughter, has been following media reports about the City of New Westminster’s plans to create a sculpture of the famous photograph near the spot where the shot was taken nearly 73 years ago. The city has commissioned Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales to create the Wait For Me, Daddy war memorial public artwork in downtown New Westminster. “I think it’s pretty neat,” Macpherson told The Record. “I am pretty touched that the artistry and work of the man is still touching people.” Dettloff, a photographer for the Province newspaper, took the famous photo on Oct. 1, 1940 at Columbia and Eighth streets in New Westminster, as soldiers paraded down the hill. As his father passed by, five-

speak. It was always in our den. Granddad was a very quiet, very humble, very kind man. He died when I was 16.” Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales, who have been creating public sculpture together for the last 16 years, are currently working on the piece in their studio in Barcelona, Spain. They have produced 28 public sculptures in Canada, the United States and Europe, including the Voice of the Land monument in Queen’s Park, Toronto. “Edwin and Veronica Dam de Nogales’ proposal really stood out because of its innovative design and its use of elements mirrored in the new Anvil Centre and Westminster Pier Park,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams. “We are delighted to be partnering with this world-renowned artist team on what will surely become an iconic landmark for the City of New Westminster.” Wait For Me, Daddy, one of the most memorable photographs from the Second World War, was featured in Life magazine and other publications. The city states that it is the second-most requested photograph in the National Archives. The city issued a call for artists in July 2012 for submissions for the creation of three bronze life-sized sculptures depicting the Wait For Me, Daddy photograph that will be installed on or near the place where the photo was taken. A budget of nearly

$300,000 has been allocated to the project. “We were not only intrigued with the subject matter, and the powerful image captured in photographic form by Dettloff, but also with the particular space,” Veronica and Edwin Dam de Nogales said in a press release. “Hyack Square seems to be a crossroads of sorts. It stands with one foot in the past and one foot lunging into the future. This presents itself as an opportunity to create a powerful work which not only allows people to look back and remember, but also to look forward with hope.” The installation will be unveiled to the public in October 2014 in Hyack Square. Bernard, who was nicknamed Whitey because of his white hair, was the boy in the photo seen reaching out to his father. The photo led to his participation in war bond drives during the war years, where he would join entertainment troupes that traveled to workplaces and put on a show and tried to sell bonds to workers. Bernard told The Record in 2010 that his script encouraged people to buy a bond today and “help bring my daddy home,” at which point the picture was revealed. “It was a real tearjerker,” he said. Now living in Tofino, Bernard has been in touch with the city about its plans for the Wait For Me, Daddy photo. He’s expected to help unveil the artwork in Hyack Square next year.

Kickin’ it with the cops

It’s not often kids get an up-close look at police departments, but for the past 32 years the New Westminster Police Department has done its best to connect with young members of the community through its annual soccer camp. The soccer camp began in 1981 and has since become the highlight of many Royal City kids’ summers. The soc-

cer camp runs for five days each year – Friday (today) is the final day of the camp – and offers 300 kids the chance to get outside, play some soccer and, of course, learn a bit more about the city police department. For more information on the camp, visit www. nwpolice.org/communityservices/nwpd-soccerschool-program. - Cayley Dobie

THERESA MCMANUS

oddess Within You invites Royal City residents to attend the Abundantia Festival and fundraiser that’s taking place this weekend at River Market. Goddess Within You’s

website states that it seeks to raise the vitality and ethics of all humanity by supporting women and girls and helping them get out of a life of poverty, violence and oppression, and inspiring them to live in abundance, peace, freedom and interdependence through the creative discovery and authentic expression of their true nature, unique gifts and goddess within. At this weekend’s Abundantia Festival, the group is raising funds for the Elizabeth Fry Society,

B.C. Children’s Hospital, the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society and the POWER (Propagation of Women’s Empowerment Resources) program in Capetown, South Africa. The event takes place on Saturday, July 27 from noon to 5 p.m. at River Market. It includes food, crafts, entertainment for kids, dancing, zumba, henna tattoos, silent action and more. “We have received enormous support from the New Westminster community and are excited to share the

abundance,” said Goddess Within to co-creator and founder Christine Stover in a letter to The Record. For more information, visit. www.goddesswithin you.ca.

School supplies

Summer is in full swing, but it will be time for the kids to head back to school before you know it. The Salvation Army has launched its annual campaign to provide backpacks and school supplies to 5,000 kids in need. The Salvation

Army’s annual backpack and school supply drive is underway and runs until Sept. 11. During the summer, the Salvation Army collects donated supplies and monetary contributions that are used to stuff thousands of backpacks with school supplies for elementary students. Families throughout B.C. who can’t afford all of the necessities for school will then have the opportunity to receive support. “What a pleasure it is for us to be able to supply

quality school supplies and backpacks to over 5,000 children in British Columbia,” said Major Russ Holland, executive director of the Salvation Army Vancouver and community services. Anyone wishing to contribute to the campaign can drop off donations of new school supplies such as pencils, binders and felts at participating Starbucks locations. Cash donations can be made at Staples stores in the Lower Mainland.

It all started with Nippy Buster and One year after baby,

hello ‘old’ me

PARENTING

JULIE MACLELLAN

onfession: I cried over a peachesand-cream muffin at Starbucks. No, it wasn’t over the quality of the muffin. It was about the fact that I was standing in Starbucks alone, and it suddenly hit me that at that moment I had no one to share my muffin with. Which wouldn’t have been such a big deal in a past life. But a couple of weeks ago, it was a shock to my system. Because, for the preceding 51 weeks, I had had a constant companion for every single Starbucks trip, grocery shopping run and mall excursion I’d taken. Yes, that constant companion was my daughter – a wee blue-eyed sprite who, since her birth in July 2012, had become such a part of me that leaving home without her felt like abandoning a limb or a vital organ. In that moment at the Starbucks counter, it hit me that our year together was over. She was in daycare, and I was about to go back to work. Paying for that muffin was a moment that, in all its ordinariness, became a symbol of everything that had changed in my life over the past year. One tiny newborn bundle became a growing infant, who would sit in the stroller and gurgle next to me as I drank my coffee. The infant got bigger and started to sit up on her own. We’d go for coffee and she’d spend time grinning and giggling and staring with big blue eyes at other customers. Then she graduated to a high chair, and she’d eat her lunch while I learned to juggle a baby spoon in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. And somehow, before I knew what had happened to the year, there she was, this “big girl” of mine, sitting up in her own chair, stuffing her tiny face with pieces of muffin while she pointed, waved and babbled to other customers. My sweet baby girl and I had done it. We’d made it

through a year. For those first eight or so hazy weeks, I’d thought that year would never end. Mothers of older babies would say, “Treasure it, it’ll go so fast,” and I’d smile and nod while thinking to myself, “Fast? FAST? Who are they kidding? How does a year of no sleep and hastily snatched meals and interrupted showers and constantly-attached-at-theboob baby go FAST?” Turns out they were right. It did. We hit our stride, the wee sprite and I, and we became such constant companions that before I knew it, I was the mama I’d seen other friends become – the one who loved her baby to distraction, who rarely left her side and who hardly spared a thought for the me I used to be. I hardly remembered how much I had mourned that me – how much, at first, I felt I had lost myself somewhere and wondered if I would ever be an independent individual again. I hadn’t exactly forgotten that me, but I hadn’t missed her much, either. So when, on that recent morning, I realized that the solitary woman ordering coffee and a peaches-and-cream muffin at Starbucks was the old me, it was surreal. And sad. And, even later, just a teeny-tiny bit happy.

It’s not that I wanted to leave my wee sprite behind. (If I won the lottery tomorrow, I would happily abandon a full-time outside job and stay home with her.) But stepping out of the house without her reminded me that there are other parts of me that I’ll enjoy meeting again – the singer, the writer, the reporter, the co-worker, the friend. I’ve only been back at work for two weeks, and I have missed my wee sprite to pieces every day. But I’m also happy to be back in my “old” life. To leave the house without a stroller and a diaper bag is still a little off-putting – but it’s liberating, too. To know that my wee sprite is enjoying a day full of fun with other little people – dare I suggest, having more fun than she’d be having at Starbucks with Mommy – makes me smile. What helps most of all is that each moment I spend with her now feels special. I’ve traded in quantity for quality. We may be together for far fewer minutes in day. But I’m absolutely present for her when we’re together. It’s those moments that remind me that, while I wear my Julie-the-reporter hat during the day, I’ll always and forever be Mommy.

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre has rescued animals for over 50 years.

In 1960, a small northern fur seal was brought to the Vancouver Aquarium after a harrowing experience. A fisher had accidentally caught him with his rod while fishing for salmon. The tiny creature, later known as Nippy, was the Aquarium’s first rescue patient. Dedicated Aquarium staff carefully removed the fishing gear from his little body and nursed him back to health. Two years later, Aquarium staff brought an orphaned harbour seal to the facility. Buster, as he was called, was malnourished and desperately in need of a helping hand. Staff fed and treated the small pup until he was healthy and chubby.

“The work was, and still is, so intensely gratifying,” says Lindsaye Akhurst, manager of the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. “When I began working for the Aquarium, I was so thrilled to help animals every day—many of whom were in danger because of human actions. But for staff at the Aquarium, it was becoming increasingly challenging to treat sick, “Our goal is to keep injured and orphaned improving what we do, marine mammals to be actively involved without a proper in research programs, facility.” and to share what we know with as many people as possible.”

Nippy and Buster remained at the Aquarium for many years. The two even spent time together in the same habitat. During this time, the team was able to learn how to best care for and rehabilitate marine mammals.

Murray Newman, one of the founding directors of the Vancouver Aquarium, recalls the learning curve that was involved with caring for wild animals. “Baby harbour seals were brought to us occasionally in the early days, but we had great difﬁculty feeding them because we didn’t realize they could not digest cow’s milk. My wife, Kathy, helped to get them started on a liquid diet. They snapped with their sharp little teeth, and one particularly energetic little fellow left a permanent scar on her elbow.” In the years that followed, Aquarium staff cared for a number of rescued marine mammals. When there wasn’t room, staff often created make-shift habitats for the injured or sick animals that were rescued and rehabilitated at the Aquarium. Occasionally, patients with special needs were even taken home by Aquarium’s staff for extra, intensive care. Despite not having a formal rescue centre, the team’s commitment to animal welfare was always apparent. Staff and volunteers brought animals to the Aquarium for treatment or travelled to locations where animals were stranded. No patient was too small or too big and, when tragedy struck, staff and volunteers were always ready to pitch in. In 1989, staff at the Aquarium rescued and cleaned a number of sea otters covered in oil after the Exxon Valdez disaster off

the southern coast of Alaska. In 2002, the Aquarium also played a key role in the rescue of Springer, a one-year-old killer whale who was found in Puget Sound (near Seattle), orphaned and hundreds of miles from her pod. She was rescued, restored to health, transported back to British Columbia’s Johnstone Strait, her pod’s summering grounds, and released to rejoin her family.

In 2004, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre was created. Located on land provided by the Vancouver Port Authority, the new facility gives staff and volunteers the space needed to manage their ever-increasing patient load.

The Rescue Centre is perhaps best known for rescuing harbour seal pups who garner much public attention with their cute faces and human-like cries, but over the past 50 years, the Aquarium has rescued a variety of animals. Patients at the Rescue Centre have included elephant seals, fur seals, sea otters, sea lions, and cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) and thousands of harbour seal pups. Today, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre provides world-class veterinary care to its patients. A highlyqualiﬁed medical team performs complicated medical procedures with cutting-edge diagnostic tools. The reputation of the facility has grown tremendously and attracts biology and veterinary students from around the world. “Our goal is to keep improving what we do, to be actively involved in research programs, and to share what we know with as many people as possible,” says Dr. Martin Haulena, staff veterinarian at the Vancouver Aquarium. “Our ultimate goal is to better understand the threats faced by marine mammal species and the environment that we so closely share.” Operating largely on donations and the tireless efforts of staff and volunteers, the Aquarium’s Rescue Centre continues to assist and rescue over 150 animals every year with the goal of returning them to their natural habitat. It is the only rescue hospital of its kind in Canada. ■

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

Preparing your child for kindergarten

Kindergarten used to be a time when kids grabbed a nap in between ﬁngerpainting and playing outside, but today’s coursework is much more rigorous and kindergarteners are now introduced to concepts that were once taught in later years of elementary school. Preparing children who have never attended school for their ﬁrst day could take a little time prior to the start of school. Signing up for school Each school district has its own requirements to begin kindergarten, so parents should familiarize themselves with their school district as soon as possible. One of the primary requirements is age. Children generally have to meet a certain age requirement (usually age 5), meaning their birthdays have to take place prior to or by a cut-off date. Public schools will also require proof of residence. They often require utility bills with the student’s address on them. Private schools typically have more lenient residence requirements. Most entering students also will need to have received all the necessary vaccinations. If the student has not received all immunizations, he or she will need to do so before enrolling. Getting prepared Some children are anxious to be “big kids” and begin

school. Others may be nervous about what’s in store. The best way to prepare children is to think about enrolling them in some sort of social program. Preschool is the avenue many parents choose, but simply spending time together with other kids in a structured social setting is enough for many kids to get acclimated. Talking about what to expect at school can also ease jitters. Parents can establish a school-like structure at home to illustrate their points. Have set times for meals and snacks, require small chores be done on time and set additional rules and limits. Bed time and wake times should be the same each day as well. Children who are unaccustomed to having structure may ﬁnd the rigors of the classroom scary. Parents should inquire about touring the school to help calm kids’ nerves. This way children will see exactly what environment they will be working in each day. Honing skills

Children will partake in a variety of activities during kindergarten. They’ll begin learning to write and perform other activities that require ﬁne motor skills. Parents can introduce their children to pencils, crayons, markers, and safety scissors so they can learn the proper grip and how to maneuver these tools. It’s also never too early to read with children. Studies indicate that children who frequently read with their parents or others tend to have greater success in school. The National Education Association says that children who were read to frequently are more likely to: • count to 20, or higher than those who were not; • write their own names; • read or pretend to read; The Educational Testing Services reports that students who do more reading at home are better readers and have higher math scores. Kindergarten is a child’s initial foray into the world of academia. Much has changed in the kindergarten curriculum, and parents can expect their kids to be learning much more in kindergarten than they once did. Editorial from Metro Creative

Pulling off the heist of the year BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Amar Dhesi is known for his deceptive quickness. But no one expected the sleight of hand the local high school graduate showed at the U.S. freestyle national championships in Las Vegas earlier this year. Dhesi, a three-time Canadian national champion and former Pan Am championship bronze medallist, did what few Canadian wrestlers have done before him, and likely, even fewer will have the opportunity of matching – win a U.S. national title belt. Wrestling under the banner of the Northwest Regional Training Centre in Eugene, Oregon, Dhesi shocked the American heavyweight community last April by easily defeating Adam Coon, the top NCAA Division I recruit in the championship final. Only after Dhesi had accepted the championship plaque did officials at the nationals begin to realize they had let a Canadian walk away from the competition with the spoils. “It was a big moment for me down in Vegas. I wrestled in the (high school) provincial tournament on Wednesday, and (the U.S. championships) were on Friday,” Dhesi said. “I had five matches … I faced some good wrestlers. … It was one of my best accomplishments yet. But I’m just starting.” Dhesi was entered into the nationals by his incoming Oregon State University wrestling coach who wanted to test his blue-chip scholarship recruit against the best south of the border. Dhesi did not disappoint, downing Coon, a former under-17 world champion, 4-1, 4-0 in the national final – a feat Burnaby Central wrestling coach Gianni Buono described as “through the roof.” It took Dhesi two long years of tracking his opponent before the pair met eye-to-eye on the wrestling mat. “Last year, at the western regionals, Coon did not appear, but I knew I’d find him,” said Dhesi. “I prepared for the nationals hard. I knew I’d find him. I was happy to have the opportunity to wrestle.” Dhesi was also lucky to have had that chance at all. Recent years had changed the eligibility rules for the U.S. championships, now allowing

However, even at past U.S. opens, only a handful of Canadian wrestlers have matched Dhesi’s accomplishment. In 1988, Simon Fraser University transfer and Olympic silver medallist Jeff Thue won the heavyweight title. Current SFU wrestling coach Justin Abdou also won the 82-kilogram division in his first year of university after placing runner-up the year before as a high school grad.

“At that age, it’s the biggest tournament you can win in North America. For a high school senior to win it, it’s a pretty big deal,” said Abdou. “For his size, it’s his speed and flexibility. He’s big and strong and flexible, ... He can execute moves that other wrestlers can’t. ... I’d say he’s one of the top 18-year-olds in North America.

Spartans medal at B.C.s, move on to Legion nationals BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Nina Schultz led an 11-medal haul by New West Spartans athletes at the B.C. Athletics championship jamboree in Kamloops last weekend. The 15-year-old won five individual medals, including gold in the girls’ high jump and triple jump. Schultz was also a runner-up in the 80-metre and 200m hurdles and the long jump. Her time of

28.26 in the 200m hurdles was a personal best. In all, Schultz achieved the provincial team standard in six separate events, including a fourth-place finish in the shot put, showing her potential for winning a possible pentathlon title at the Canadian championship next month. Mihailo Stefanovic and Bogdan Pavel continued to show their prowess in both the 110m and 300m hurdles. Stefanovic, who ran a person-

al-best sub-14-second heat in the 110m at the recent World Youth championships in the Ukraine, placed second at that distance in Kamloops. In the 300m hurdles, Stefanovic set a new B.C. age group record of 38.08, only five one-hundredths of a second off the Canadian youth record. He is currently ranked first in the country in both events. Pavel had personal bests in both events, winning the bronze medal at 110m in a provincial

standard time of 14.44. Jemal Reta, coming back after injury, placed runner-up in the youth men’s 2,000m steeplechase in a personal-best time of 6:13.91. He also finished sixth in the 3,000m. Manisha Kandola also performed well, winning a silver medal in high jump and a bronze in the 100m hurdles. Tamara Harris and Domunique Booker also had a solid meet at the meet. Stefanovic, Pavel, Reta,

Schultz, and Booker all qualified for the Canadian Legion national championship to be held in Langley on Aug. 9 to 11. New Westminster’s Raquel Tjernagel, running for the Coquitlam Cheetahs club, placed second in the youth women’s 100m dash in a time of 12.38. Elite Track metric quartermiler, Francis Flimo, placed fifth in the youth men’s 400m. Kinsey Weir of Royal City Track was seventh in the women’s triple jump.

Thunder road: The Langley Thunder forced a Game 4 in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League semiﬁnal playoffs with a 5-3 win over New Westminster on Tuesday.

’Bellies forced to Game 4 in junior A lax semiﬁnal tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Langley Thunder played like a desperate team and New Westminster didn’t. That was the difference said Salmonbellies head coach Dan Perreault following his team’s 5-3 loss to the Langley Thunder in Game 3 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League best-offive semifinal playoff at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday. New West managed just one goal in each of the three 20-minute periods. The tipping point came in a five-minute span in the middle frame, when Langley finished the period with three unanswered goals, including a shorthanded marker from Johnny Pearson and an own-goal that was deflected past Salmonbellie keep-

er Frank Scigliano by one of his own defenders. Tyler Glebe had his best playoff game to date for the Thunder, stopping 40 Salmonbellie shots. Scigliano also played well, making 41 saves at the other end of the floor. “Overall, they played like a desperate team and we didn’t,” said Perreault. “We didn’t move our feet … they beat us to loose balls, too.” Second-year Langley runner James Rahe, said a good practice on the Sunday before the game got the team focused. “Right at the gate we knew we had to come out harder than we’ve ever done before,” said Rahe after the game. “That was the difference – our communication and our help.” Langley’s pressure defence and New West’s lack of ball movement was

the main reason for the Salmonbellies’ low-scoring. “We’ve all gelled and come together, and that’s not going to change,” Rahe said, adding going back to Langley for Game 4 is further incentive to the team. “We’ve got to protect our house. We just sent a message and we have to come out and back it up,” he said. The game was played Thursday at the Langley Events Centre (after Record deadlines). If necessary, a fifth and deciding game will be played at Queen’s Park Arena on Sunday, beginning at 4 p.m. In the other semifinal, league champion Coquitlam leads the Victoria Shamrocks 2-0. Coquitlam could wrap up the series on Saturday at home. Game time is 3 p.m.

effectively he’s got what it takes.” With London Olympian Arjan Bhullar in semi-retirement, the only wrestler seemingly standing in his way is Abbotsford heavy Sunny Dhinsa. “Those two will be battling it out for a world and Olympic spot for the next eight years,” Abdou added. Prior to that, Dhesi will be honing his technique in the collegiate folkstyle method and looking for a rematch with Coon. “He’s going to Michigan and I’m going to Oregon State. We’ll meet in the future. I’m looking forward to it,” said Dhesi. Still, the likeable Dhesi plays down any future accolades. “I’ve just started my career,” he said.

“None of my goals have been accomplished – youth world championships, Olympic championships – I’m just starting.” His best memory to date still remains his first-ever B.C. championship, when, as a Grade 9 novice, he beat all the top seeded wrestlers for the high school title. His father captured that moment in a photograph, showing a 14-year-old Dhesi waving his upraised arms in victory, that he still holds dear. “It is kind of a silly picture, but it is my memory of me winning. It was a pretty big moment – my most memorable, especially with me coming in as an underdog.” It’s very unlikely though, Dhesi will remain an underdog for much longer.
