Night school will be closed

Cancer boxes stolen

Student cries after hearing classes will be cut to save school district $100,000 BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

Night school students were devastated when the board of education axed night school on Tuesday, when trustees voted to cut $2.69 million from next year’s budget. A handful of the adult students, many recent immigrants to Canada, turned up at the meeting to voice their concerns about losing the program, which allowed them to work during the day and receive language instruction at night. Mayan Jalini-Rasti was so upset after trustees voted unanimously in favour of nixing night school to save $100,000, that she stood up during board deliberations to voice her outrage. “He didn’t say how many lives got changed for this number,” a crying JaliniRasti told The Record, referring to superintendent Al Balanuik’s presentation, where he said how much the district expects to save. Trustees MaryAnn Mortensen told her to contact superintendent John Gaiptman, who would help her find a solution to the night school loss. The district will offer learning opportunities through its other adult academic offerings. But the suggestion didn’t soothe JaliniRasti, who left the room shaking and on the verge of tears after she spoke. She and her two adult sons attend the program, which she says is critical in helping them learn English. Jalini-Rasti, a Burnaby resident, works in a daycare and needs to improve her English in order take an early childhood education program to enhance her credentials. District parent advisory council chair Beth Ott was also disappointed by the loss. “I think it’s a shame that people would have to do things like go outside of this district to learn English,” she said. ◗Schools Page 8

The Canadian Cancer Society’s annual daffodil campaign suffered a blow last week when 17 donation boxes were stolen – all from stores in New Westminster. The April-long campaign raises funds for a number of programs organized by the society, including the volunteer driver program, which provides free rides for cancer patients, and Camp Goodtimes, a children’s camp for those battling cancer. Since the campaign’s inception five years ago, New Westminster has led the pack for highest number of donation boxes in one community. This year there were 79 boxes in New Westminster, but that was until someone stole more than a dozen of them. According to police, a man in his 50s, who appeared to be of First Nations descent, about 5-8 with a heavy build and long black hair, walked into several businesses in the city and stole the donation boxes. Bosley’s Pet Food at Columbia Square was one of the businesses that had its daffodil donation box stolen. Owner Karima Jivraj said she was shocked that someone would steal from a charity. “I think it’s just wrong for somebody to come in and steal, especially from a charity,” she said. Jivraj said the suspect entered her store on Easter Monday, walked around the front counter and took the donation box. Once she realized he had made off with the box, she

ew Westminster is becoming a destination for folks in search of treasures at neighbourhood garage sales. Nineteen years after the first Queen’s Park Garage Sale started in New Westminster, several other THERESA MCMANUS neighbourhood sales are in on the fun. Sales in Massey Victory Heights, Glenbrooke North and the Quay attract garage sale junkies from near and far. “We have a lot of old stuff here. We are a historic city. There are chances you could find something of incredible value,” said James Crosty, who organizes the Quayside Festival and Sale. “There’s an opportunity – I think that’s the intrigue.” The Massey Victory Heights Residents’ Association kicks off the neighbourhood garage sale season this weekend. “It’s an opportunity for our residents to get together. It’s engagement – it’s a good event to engage the community and engage the neighbours to come together to sell some of their wares,” said Jason Lesage, president of the Massey Victory Heights Residents’ Association. “But also, people make money.” About 20 homes are taking part in this year’s sale in Massey Victory Heights, with shoppers coming from around the Lower Mainland. “There is a dedicated audience of people across Metro Vancouver who shop around at these sort of neighbourhood garage sales,” Lesage said. “They say right at 8 o’clock in the morning or whenever the garage sale opens, they are there lining up to find those gems.” The Massey Victory Heights yard sale takes place on Saturday, May 3 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Next up, is the Queen’s Park Garage Sale on Saturday, May 10 and the Glenbrooke North sale on Saturday, June 14. “It’s always the day before Father’s Day,” said Marya McLellan of the Glenbrooke North sale. “Queen’s Park is sort of the Mother’s Day thing, and we are the Father’s Day thing.” Glenbrooke North, which is holding its 15th annual sale this year, donates a portion of its proceeds to Monarch Place, a transi-

tion house for women and children fleeing violence. Each year the sale generates several hundred dollars for Monarch Place. McLellan’s home is one of several on her block that takes part in the annual sale, giving her a chance to chat with her neighbours and sell off items no longer needed. “I really like the reusing aspect, not putting things in the garbage,” she said. “I always find treasures at my neighbours’ houses. It’s a great price. It’s that reuse/recycle thing is appealing to most people – and cleaning out our basements.” Realtor Frank Wright launched the neighbourhood-wide garage sale trend in New Westminster back in 1995, when he sponsored the Queen’s Park Garage Sale. Not only did the garage sale give folks a chance to clear clutter from their homes, but a portion of the proceeds were donated to Canuck Place. “Frank Wright started it in

1995. We always have it on the Saturday before Mother’s Day,” said Realtor Dave Vallee, who started sponsoring the sale in 2011, after Wright moved out of town. “I guess he just wanted to do something to pull the community together for a fun event and also to raise money for Canuck Place. Everybody that goes in it donates a portion of the proceeds to Canuck Place.” Thousands of people descend on the historic Queen’s Park neighbourhood for the annual sale, which usually features 60 to 80 participants. The sale generates about $1,000 a year for Canuck Place, a hospice for children with life-threatening illnesses. “The people that take part really love it. They enjoy it and look forward to it each year,” Vallee said. “Most of them enjoy it – some get a little annoyed by the traffic in the neighbourhood that morning. There’s a fair bit of traffic in the first couple of hours. It’s kind

of a festival atmosphere.” The Quayside Festival and Sale started with 50 tables and one band, but is expecting more than 175 tables, food trucks and four entertainment stages for the seventh annual event that’s taking place on Saturday, Aug. 16. Because it was difficult for condominium owners to have garage sales, the Quayside Community Board thought the boardwalk provided a perfect opportunity for a neighbourhood sale. “We manage to capitalize on our location by making it a festival,” Crosty said. “The Quay is a beautiful place to have it.” The Quayside Festival and Sale also raises funds for various charities. It’s been estimated that more than 10,000 attended last year’s event. “It’s the old story – one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I think that’s the attraction,” Crosty said. “You have to know what you are looking for. Often times people find the things they are collecting and the seller has no idea what the value is. That’s the allure – that golden piece.” While residents sell a variety of items at their sales, the Quayside event may have the biggest ticket items. “The very first year we had a condo and a car for sale. That was our big-ticket item. The condo eventually sold,” he said. “It’s the old story – you put it in front of enough people, and somebody is going to buy it.” For an extended version of this story, go to www.royalcityrecord. com.

High school needs ‘business case’ BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the New Westminster school district must make a “business case” in order to get funding to replace its aging high school, which is something of a public eyesore with chipped paint, rotting wood and occasional rat sightings. Maintaining the provincial government’s ongoing belt-tightening stance, Fassbender told The Record there isn’t an “unlimited pot of money,” and the district’s bid to build a new secondary school must make financial sense. “We are looking at the business case, the enrolments, the projected enrolments,” Fassbender said. “I cannot go to the treasury board looking

for additional funding for any district without a well-articulated business case that can be rationalized so we can move ahead on any projects.” Part of a business case is a full evaluation of the current status of the facility, the projected enrolment growth or lack thereof, and other adjacent space which may be available, the minister said. “We don’t make decisions based on an emotional response because then we’d be all over the place,” Fassbender said. New Westminster families have waited well over a decade to open the doors to a new school. The district is in the process of building two new schools – an elementary and middle school – so many were expecting a good-news announcement on the high school to

come this spring. Despite Fassbender’s tough stance, project manager Jim Alkins isn’t worried about the slow pace of getting approval for the new school. “The plan has always been to build three schools, and so, there has been a sequence, and we are in the sequence,” Alkins said. “Three years ago, we more or less got the green light to go with the elementary, the middle and the secondary. So from a funding point of view and a planning point of view, we are more or less on the schedule we were hoping to be on.” Whether it’s called a business case or something else, Alkins said the process for getting a project approved is still the same. For an extended version of this story, see www.royalcityrecord.com.

Theft: ‘I was angry. You don’t steal from a charity’ ◗ continued from page 1

called the police. “I was mad, I was angry,” she said. “You don’t steal from a charity. If you need help, ask for help, don’t steal from a charity.” While the Canadian Cancer Society is reporting that 17 boxes have been stolen in New Westminster, only three cases have been reported to police and investigators are hoping more business owners will step forward.

Jivraj has participated in the annual daffodil campaign since she opened shop. The campaign aims to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, while showing support for people with cancer. “The area where we have the highest concentration of boxes is in New Westminster, and the reason for that is that we have some really dedicated volunteers in that area who have taken on this project,” said

Ron Kuehl, vice-president of development and marketing, Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon. This is only the second time since the daffodil campaign began that donation boxes have been stolen, Kuehl said. As for Jivraj, the recent theft won’t stop her from participating in the annual fundraiser – she had already put the recovered box back out when The Record spoke to her on Monday.

“I put it back out, but I put in different measures. We’re going to zap-strap them to the counter, and we’re going to take the money out every night,” she said.

Nis Schmidt at 604525-5411.

DYNAMIC FITNESS NOW OPEN!!! A fter four wonderful years at Royal City Centre Pavilion and serving the citizens of New Westminster since 1994 Dynamic Health and Fitness has now moved locations to the Shops at New West Skytrain station (3rd level beside Starbucks) and is now open for business! The new 12,000 sq ft co-ed and ladies only Health and Fitness Club has been chosen by the Royal City Record readers as the “Best in New West” for 14 years in a row. This award-winning fitness centre is run by Jeff and Alison Humphries a local couple that has created a thriving and successful business - one that is an inviting, unintimidating and appealing to all ages and fitness levels. Alison believes part of its success comes from them being very approachable, hands on owners. “We really try to excel in customer service year after year,” says Alison. With over 75 pieces of cardio equipment like treadmills, climbmills, ascent trainers, ellipticals, water rowers and a wide variety of strength equipment for all ages and fitness levels there is lots to choose from. “We added over $200,000 of brand new state of the art equipment in addition to the many equipment options we already had!” Jeff says. Dynamic Health and Fitness is a business suc-

cess with more than 90 per cent of its customer feedback forms and emails speaks of superior customer service and employee excellence.

Jeff and Alison come with a wealth of experience as well both having been in the health and ﬁtness industry as owners for over 13 years. They were super happy to stay in New West and when the opportunity came up to move their business down to the Shops of New West Skytrain station “we just thought we wanted to be part of the explosive growth that is going on in the downtown area, there’s just so much going on down here and it gives us a chance to take our business to a new level.” We live quite close to our business and we really had no idea of the growth and what was going on in and around the skytrain station until we started building our business. The landlord First Capital is very pro-active in building the surrounding area and has welcomed us with open arms. “It’s kind of cool - a one stop shop when you can come to our place for a workout, grab a shake, get your groceries, do your banking and a get a haircut all under one roof so to speak without having to drive from place to place and worry about parking.” There is also tons of eating choices throughout as well. The club offers over 25

group ﬁtness classes per week including Beginners classes, Yoga, Zumba, Spinning (indoor cycling) a fantastic personal training department to help you get started a infrared sauna and tanning to service their clients.

Supporting the community over the years is part of their whole holistic approach to business. They have supported local charities, such as the Monarch House (for abused women and children), Last Door recovery house for men, Terri Fox and the Jingle Bell run for juvenile arthritis as well as a Food and Toy drive every Christmas. “We really try to support all local schools, sports teams and nonprofit organizations as much as possible because these are some of the people that have helped support us over the years.” In 2011 we were a sponsor in a fundraiser for Japan, which helped raised $20,000,” says Jeff. We also helped support the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Phillipines last year with a donation. “We personally try to attend as many local fundraisers as possible and my wife (laughs) definitely supports the silent and live auctions.” As a part of giving back to their clients over the years they have internal promotions, right now Jeff and Alison are offering a terrific promotion:

For every new member an existing member refers to them, that member receives a cheque in the mail to cover the costs of their monthly dues. Alison says “we have sent out 1000’s cheques in the mail to our clients over the years for referring their friends!!” Their Grand Re-Opening party is scheduled Saturday May 3rd from 1-4pm and they would like everyone to join them in celebrating the re-opening of their new club, with appies, refreshments and lots of door prizes and giveaways. “We hope to see as many of our valued clients as well as new visitors there as possible – just a way to say thanks for your patience and we hope the wait was worth it!” By judging what they have done in the new club I don’t think anyone will be disappointed! Mayor Wayne Wright will be in attendance for the ribbon cutting ceremony at 1:30 Dynamic Health and Fitness is located at #335-800 Carnarvon (Shops of New West Skytrain st. 3rd level beside Starbucks) The club offers 2 hrs of free parking on P1 and P2.

Public art makes the world better IN MY OPINION JULIE MACLELLAN

hat is art? Give me your answer to that question, and I’ll probably be able to tell you which side of the Vancouver Biennale debate you fall on. For those who didn’t see the story in the April 30 Record, debate is a-raging at New Westminster City Hall about whether the city should accept a recommendation from its public art advisory committee and proceed with three installations from the Vancouver Biennale. Two of the three – Blue Trees and Public Furniture/Urban Trees -– have won support. But the third – WOW New Westminster, by Brazilian sculptor Jose Resende – is proving to be a sticking point. Why? Because, in a nutshell, several members of council don’t like it. The installation consists of four shipping containers positioned in two V shapes. I’ll grant you, it isn’t particularly pretty. But what ever gave you the idea art was supposed to be pretty? It can be pretty, sure. I’m as fond of a nice watercolour landscape as the next person.

But achieving a high scale on the attractiveness meter isn’t art’s first purpose. To suggest that public art must be “attractive” by some narrow definition is to reduce it to some sort of pageant superficiality, as though its only function is to wear its pretty dress and tiara and look good for the masses. Art is so profoundly much more than that. It’s meant to excite. To challenge. To question. To provoke. To disturb. To ask. To probe. To investigate. To annoy. To disrupt. To enlighten. At its best, it aims to reveal, in some measure, some aspect of the human condition that we simply can not explain or understand in any other way. And it can’t do any of that if the people making decisions about it persist in being philistines about the whole thing. To be honest, the fact that Coun. Betty McIntosh described the piece as “almost like a train wreck” and said it’s “not anything anyone wants to be near” actually kind of endears it to me. Her response proves that it does what art is meant to do: it provokes a visceral reaction. I actually like Resende’s piece, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is, public art can bring untold benefits to New Westminster. Some of those benefits are of the high-minded, conceptual, pretentious-sounding sort – such as the belief that

Dear Editor:

Metro Vancouver is still trying to find a site to build a garbage incinerator which soon no one but they will want, as support is dwindling. But will they do what is difficult for politicians to do and change their mind? A city in Scotland did and paid a default penalty, which Metro won’t have to because no contract has yet been signed. The biggest problem for garbage incinerators worldwide is that they are running out of combustible garbage, for which they pay a considerable penalty. Metro’s committee for this project is called “Zero Waste,” but the fact is there will be ash residues of close to 20 per cent or more, so it isn’t really zero at all, is it? ◗Art Page 7

Art: Council must make the right call ◗ continued from page 6

surrounding ourselves with art elevates us as human beings, that encouraging art in public spaces helps us to grow as individuals and as a society. More to the point, for many, will be the more tangible benefits that getting involved in Vancouver Biennale’s “open-air museum” can bring to the city. The Biennale includes education programs, bike tours, lecture series and associated marketing – all of which is included in the cost of the installations. Being part of it would help to draw more people to our city and, in particular, to our beautiful but still underused waterfront. The cost of taking part, of course, is raising eyebrows too. But I’ve got one word

for the whiners on that front. Piffle. I mean that most politely, and I speak as a fellow homeowning, taxpaying citizen of New Westminster. The fact of the matter is, the $90,000 the city would spend on this is small potatoes in the context of the city budget. It’s a tiny drop in the big bucket already being spent on parks, recreation and culture – which totals 19 per cent of the city’s $106 million budget, according to the city’s draft 2014 financial plan, or about $20 million. I wholeheartedly support having my tax dollars spent on swimming pools I don’t swim in and ice rinks I don’t skate on, because I understand that public recreation is for the public good, and what’s of

interest to me personally takes a backseat to what’s beneficial to the community at large. I’d thank the critics to extend the same courtesy to public art. So, honestly, I don’t much care if you don’t like Resende’s piece, or any of the others. Go ahead and hate them all. Doesn’t bother me. Just please, don’t mistake your opinion about their “attractiveness” (or lack thereof) for a fact that matters even one whit in the overriding question of whether they deserve to have their place in New Westminster. Over to you, city councillors. Are you enlightened enough to step up and do the right thing? Julie MacLellan is the arts reporter and assistant editor of The Record newspaper.

THE RECORD STORY: “Thinking pink against bullying” – Feb. 26

Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Hyacinth Smith: Children are incapable of solving the problem because it’s about power, and each time a bully picks on someone, the bully’s power is enforced. Whoever said words can’t hurt was never the pariah of a group of teen girls. From the clothes I wore to the chest I lacked, I was told daily how ‘ugly’ I was. My parents helped me see I had the power to just walk away from my bullies. And I learned that life does get a lot better. Bullying is cruel not cool.

ONLINE COMMENTS Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Dave Tate: You have to be kidding. In all my years of living in New West I have never seen a line up along 1st all the way to the park entrance. I have taken that route down to Agnes st. at least a few times a week and at the most there are just a few cars waiting to make the illegal turn onto Royal. Also on many occasions I have seen the Integrated Road Safety Unit Colburg St. ﬂagging the cars that make the illegal turn down that street. They issue tickets and send them back to 6th St. It is unfortunate that there are not enough ofﬁcers on the pay roll to have someone there every weekday. Perhaps you would be willing to pay more taxes to make this happen! It is one thing to exaggerate slightly, but it is something else to blow things completely out of proportion!

It still owes $4.9 staff adjustments the district million to the province for made a year prior to deal previous budget shortfalls, ◗ continued from page 1

and it hasn’t yet started paying back those funds. Trustee Lisa Graham, who along with trustee James Janzen voted against a motion to lay off support staff for a savings of $128,706, said it will take the district eight years to pay the money it owes the province. During the budget discussion, labour-endorsed trustees David Phelan, Michael Ewen and Janzen urged the public to “advocate” for an increase to education funding. “This is not unique to New West,” Phelan said, adding that advocacy for public education should come from the community. But Voice New WestminstertrusteeGraham said the district is “unique” and has had budget issues on and off since 2001. “This is a corrective budget,” she said. The district’s budget troubles were deemed structural by a consultant who came in a couple of years ago to investigate. Ewen warned there would likely be further cuts to programs in the coming years. He also noted the district has three schools with fewer than 200 students, which could be vulnerable to closures. “We know that under the current funding system larger is cheaper,” he said. “If funding doesn’t increase, then we may have to look at other options.” The longtime trustee also questioned the decision to

boost the supplies budget by $1 million next year. “I’m still not completely clear how much we need to put back in the system,” he said. Speaking to the suggestion that trustees make a political stand and put

together a “needs budget,” Ewen said that wouldn’t be the right way to go because it would mean someone with no allegiance to the community would come in and slash and burn. It would take years to repair the damage, he said.

Ewen and Janzen opposed a motion that the district not fill a vacancy for a staffer in the operations and maintenance department and that the district change custodian workload formula for a combined savings of $184,267.

Head over heels for the shoe sale ON THE BEAT

CAYLEY DOBIE

t’s an age-old belief that all women love shoes, and from what this reporter witnessed (and experienced) at Army & Navy’s annual shoe sale, the old adage rings true. The Army & Navy shoe sale is a tradition throughout the Canadian retailer’s chain of stores, and New Westminster is no exception. The sale kicked off at 8 a.m. on Wednesday morning, but by 7:30 a.m. there was already a line of about 70 people – most rocking back and forth on their heels, anxiously awaiting the opening of the doors. Queensborough resident Jessica Cabrera was at the front of the line, a spot she claimed at 5:30 a.m., two and a half hours before the store opened. “It’s kind of a ritual,” she says. “Even if I probably can’t stand on the super high heels, I’ll still come for the sake of coming because it’s just something I do every year.” Cabrera has been coming to the shoe sale at the Army & Navy in New West for about 12 years. She says she typically spends two hours in the store, sorting through the aisles looking for styles that catch her eye. “I usually get pumps, regular stuff you know that you could wear for dressy,” she says. “Now that I’m a little older I probably won’t look at shoes that are so high.” The sale is marketed as a designer shoe sale, but there is a variety of shoes on sale. At the New West location, there were fashion heels and pumps, flats, business shoes and even some casual slip-ons – enough selection to impress even Carrie Bradshaw. The sale is like swimming in a shark tank, Cabrera says. The more experienced shoppers spend their time circling around the shoes until they spot a pair they like and then – watch out. “At the beginning, everybody is a friend. We’ve all chatted and gotten to know each other, but once that door opens, all bets

On your marks: Shoppers from New Westminster and surrounding cities lined up outside Army & Navy on Columbia Street to be the ﬁrst through the doors for the store’s annual shoe sale on Wednesday morning. are off,” Cabrera says laughing. New Westminster resident Bonnie Talarico was fourth in line and showed up at 6:30 a.m. She was glad to have such a prime spot after a disappointing experience last year. “This is my second year, but my shoe size is small. I’m a fiveand-a-half, and they don’t get very many,” she says. Last year Talarico came to the sale later in the day, and already her size had been picked over to the point there wasn’t anything she liked left. Behind Talarico was another pair of shoppers who brought a boyfriend to help guard their “stash” while they searched the racks. “I love shoes. The more the better,” says Crissy Gollner. “Just come early and grab as many shoes as you can, and then hide in a corner and try them all on, and then you just go again.” On top of advising shoppers to keep their finds hidden,

Gollner’s sister Cassy recommended bringing a man to watch over your shoes while you shop. Cassy’s boyfriend, Dylan, was the girls’ guard this year, as well as babysitter for Gollner’s new addition. New Westminster Army & Navy store manager Michelle Chiu says this year’s crowd, which was about 70 to 80 people, is comparable to past years. Chiu even recognized a few of the shoppers, including Cabrera, as repeat customers to the annual event. “It’s an exciting thing. It’s the biggest event in our company,” she says. Once the doors open at 8 a.m., the employees spend the day stocking and restocking the shelves. Chiu says it takes a lot of preparation and a lot of staff to keep everything flowing smoothly. For more photos and video of all the fun, check out www.royalcity record.com.

Deals, deals, deals: Army & Navy’s annual shoe sale has been happening for nearly seven decades. The sale offers shoes of all styles for $40 or less, and shoppers turned out in droves in New Westminster to search for bargains. Photos by Cornelia Naylor/THE RECORD

his column is for all the dads out there. Well, really it’s for the moms – but since Mother’s Day is coming up, we’re going to rely on the partners and husbands out there to remember to mark the day in special fashion. I’ve found a few fun things to do to mark the day for the special mother figure in your life – whether she’s your mom, your foster mom, your grandma, your godmother or a wonderful friend. First off, don’t forget some of the offerings from the City of New Westminster. There are a couple of events in the spring Active Living Guide that caught my eye. You can’t go wrong with a special Mother’s Day Tea being served up in the Grandmother’s Room at Irving House. You can enjoy tea and refreshments, then join costumed guides for a guided tour of the home of Elizabeth Irving, one of the city’s pioneer mothers. There are eight seatings for tea altogether: four on Saturday, May 10 and four on Sunday, May 11.

Each seating can accommodate six guests, and seatings are available at noon, 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Individuals can sign up for the 3 p.m. seating on Saturday. It’s $17 for an individual or $102.10 for six people. Call Irving House at 604-527-4640 for details or registration. On Sunday, May 11, dads and kids are invited to take part in a special cooking session. The kids and dads create a handcrafted Mother’s Day brunch that includes a main entrée, salad and dessert – then moms join in the class at 12:15 p.m. to be served the meal. The fun runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Queensborough Community Centre, and the registration fee is $24. Call the community centre at 604-525-7388. You can also check out the Active Living Guide online at www.newwest pcr.ca to register online or find other programs of interest.

Cook together

Once you’ve mastered the art of cooking together, why not put your skills to good use? Here’s a fun one that came to my attention on Twitter (thanks, Jen Arbo!). B.C. families are being invited to take part in The Hands-On Cook-off Contest, which challenges

families, friends and relatives to join in groups of two or more and create a home video cooking show – in three minutes or less. The contest is open until May 15.

It runs on five Mondays from May 5 to June 2, and it costs $52.50. That price

includes one parent and two children. Check out www.down townnewwestyfm.perfect mind.com for information about the class offerings, or register for the Kids Yoga directly at tinyurl. com/KidsYogaNW. Thanks to Melinda Michael (who helped to organize the class) for bringing it to my attention.

Book launch on Sunday Author Guy Allen draws on more than 30 years’ experience in the oil, gas and mineral industries for his third novel, Amyot. Everyone is invited to a launch for the new book this weekend – Sunday, May 4 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Renaissance Books. Amyot is a mystery that takes place in a Northern Saskatchewan wildcat drilling setting. “The brutality inflicted on his fiancée was the last straw,” says a blurb about the book. “Dusty had expected most of the problems of winter drilling in Northern Canada, but he did not anticipate being

suspected as Elena’s attacker.” You can check out a preview of the novel at Allen’s website, www.guyallen. ca. Allen has also spent time as a high school math and science teacher at the Columbia Square Adult Learning Centre in New Westminster and as a mathematics upgrading instructor at Douglas College. The release of Amyot on April 30 coincided with his 80th birthday. Renaissance Books (www.renaissance bookstore.com) is at 43 Sixth St., downtown. www.twitter.com/juliemaclellan

New sport in town: The Burnaby-based Vancouver Riptide dropped its ﬁrst match of the American Ultimate Disc League season despite the play of Kevin Lore, in blue, falling 29-20 to the San Francisco Flame Throwers at Swangard Stadium last Saturday. The defeat tied the Riptide with San Francisco for second place, both with identical 3-1 records in the Western conference. San Jose currently tops the ladder with a 3-0 mark. Vancouver’s Derek Fenton leads all scorers with 14 goals and 16 assists. Teammate Darren Wu is third among goal scorers with 15 winners. The local semi-pro club hosts the conference leader on May 10 at 3 p.m.

Hyack girls third despite 6-1 record BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Burnaby/New Westminster high school girls’ soccer playoffs should come down to a three-team race. Burnaby North Vikings, Burnaby Central Wildcats and New Westminster Hyacks finished 1-2-3 in the regular season following separate shutout wins on the final day of league play on Tuesday. Regular season champion North stopped Burnaby South 5-0, while Central held the fort against Moscrop to gain second place overall with a 20 victory. New West took advantage of an undermanned Alpha squad to post a 6-0 win to place third despite finishing with a similar 6-1 record to the top two school teams. North claimed top spot on a head-to-head tiebreaker with the other two schools following a 2-0 win over Central and a 1-0 loss to the Hyacks. New West nipped North 1-0 earlier in the season, while Central blanked the Hyacks 2-0 in its league showdown.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies landed a big fish for the upcoming Western Lacrosse Association season. The senior A Salmonbellies signed two-time Whitby Warriors Minto Cup championship goalie Alexis Buque last month. Buque will team up with returning keeper Neil Tyacke in the Salmonbellies’ cage this season. “We have had a plan since our season ended to retool our program, and part of that retooling was our goaltending duo,” said club president and general manager Dan Richardson in a club press release. At last year’s Minto, Buque led all keepers with a 5.96 goals against average and a .868 save percentage.

All-star guard comes home SPECIAL TO THE RECORD

tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

Former local high school star Alisha Roberts is waving goodbye to NCAA Division I Pepperdine University women’s basketball team. The former York House all-star guard will play her final two seasons of varsity hoops with Simon Fraser University following a transfer from the Waves. As a freshman at Pepperdine, Roberts scored a career-high nine points in a victory against San Francisco in her conference home opener. “On the court, she brings a fiery competitiveness, shoots the three well and has high expectations for herself, all qualities that we value,” said Clan head coach Bruce Langford in a SFU press release. “First and foremost, I think of myself as a team player,” Roberts said in the release. “I will do everything that is required and expected of me to make our team a better team and to take us to the next level.” The Burnaby Edmonds resident graduated from York House School, earning four varsity letters along the way. She was a fourtime athlete of the year and a three-time honour roll student, leading her school to a fourth-place finish at the B.C. provincial AA championship and a AAA Lower Mainland championship as a senior. Roberts helped B.C. to

Homeward bound: All-star guard Alisha Roberts will play her ﬁnal two seasons of eligibility at SFU. a second consecutive silver medal at the under-17 Canadian championships in 2011. She also played on the Basketball B.C. club team from 2008 to ’11, earning first team all-star honours twice along the way, while also helping her under-15 club team to two runner-up finishes at nationals before winning a Canadian championship with her under-17 club team.

“I am blessed to play for my home university that is steeped in a winning tradition. I couldn’t ask for much more. I am ready and cannot wait to be a member of the Clan. As far as my goals for next season are concerned, my personal goals will be framed and referenced by our team goals. I am just so excited to be a member of the Clan,” said Roberts.

Field friends named all-stars New Westminster field lacrosse players are having an all-star impact down south. David Beaumont, team captain and a long stick senior at Florida Southern, earned first team All Sunshine State Conference honours. Beaumont is third on the team with 11 caused turnovers and 42 ground balls. Juniors Jimmy McBride and Anthony Malcom also made the All-South Atlantic Conference first team for Mars Hill College. McBride, who tied a career-high seven goals in a game against Coker College, earned conference offensive player of the week last month. He is currently second in

the league with 37 goals and third overall with 52 total points. Malcom, a midfielder, has scored 21 points and added 21 assists, while leading Mars Hill with 45 ground balls. Goalie Ross Bowman was one of five players from Mount Olive to be named to the All-Conference Carolinas second team. Bowman leads the conference with 144 saves and a 63.4 save percentage. This season, he broke his own school record with 18 saves over Southern New Hampshire and also scored a goal against Florida Tech. tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The Hyacks played Byrne Creek, while Alpha and South tangled in the other quarter-final played Thursday (after Record deadlines). North and Central will take on the lowest and highest seeded quarter-final

winners, respectively, in semifinal play on Tuesday, May 6. Earlier in the season, Central was ranked as high as second in the province, in what was largely considered an inaccurate poll. But the net effect of the honour was not lost on the Wildcats, said the Central goalie. “That was so awesome,” said Morgan. “We’re kind of hoping that we can be that good. It’s a goal to work towards.” tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
