Crime ‘constant’ in Braid industrial area
Business owners losing battle with thieves who take anything – including fences BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com
Business owners in the Braid industrial area say they’re fed up with constant thefts and are demanding the police department do something to reduce the crime. Mike Henderson and Ben Fishman both own companies located on Canfor Avenue and both agree thefts in the area are a constant problem that appears to have no end in sight. Henderson, whose company recycles tires, originally set up shop in Surrey under the Pattullo Bridge but moved to New Westminster so he could work closer to home “The theft was so bad that I moved over here,” he said. But the problem only got worse when he made the move to the Royal City, Henderson said. He rented out a yard below the Sapperton SkyTrain and was shocked at how rampant crime was in the area. There were thefts almost every single night, he said.

Summer school impacted as strike goes on BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
Just a day after New Westminster’s superintendent said summer school in the district was going ahead, the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation announced it would continue with its strike if a deal with the province isn’t reached by Monday. BCTF president Jim Iker held a press conference Wednesday saying teachers will set up picket lines at worksites where summer school is located. “What we need from the government is to get this deal done,” he said. “We’ve
made a decision that if we don’t have a deal by June 30, we will be picketing outside summer school.” All members will be picketing, he said, noting that each local will deal with how picketing would take place over the summer. “Of course, it’s going to be important for our members to spend time with their families,” Iker said. “We are not on strike to walk picket lines in the summer. We are taking a stand for our students.” One reporter at the conference asked Iker how striking over summer helps students. “It’s a decision that we don’t take light-
ly. This has been 12 years now. Twelve years that our students have taken cuts,” Iker said, referring to the B.C. Liberal era. The union blames legislation, introduced by then-Education Minister and current premier Christy Clark, for stripping money from the education system. B.C. teachers are seeking a deal that is based on five key points: ◆ a five-year term; ◆ an eight per cent salary increase, plus $5,000 signing bonus; ◆ no concessions; ◆ an annual workload fund that addresses issues of class size, class composition, and staffing ratios as an interim measure while
both parties await the next court ruling; ◆ a retroactive grievances fund, as a resolution to Justice Griffin’s B.C. Supreme Court decision that retroactively restored the stripped language from 2002. This fund would be used to address other working conditions like preparation time and teacher-on-call compensation improvements, as well as improvements to health benefits. Iker still thinks a deal is attainable, but said getting there will require new movement from government on the critical issues of class size, class composition, and ◗Schools Page 5

Building much more than boxes BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
An innovative non-profit that brings teens and tools together in a bid to build community will hold a three-day workshop in New Westminster, starting Sunday. Organizers Tobias Atkinson, 32, and Renee Michaud, 33, created Hammer and Saw: Youth Building Community, as a free way to help teens who struggle in regular school to find purpose and meaning through building, not just materials but connections as well. “It came out of the idea that both of us want to be educators, but we feel that the system needs to have better alternatives, especially for youth that are struggling in standardized education systems, so more like the alternative school model – where youth can be more engaged in a community of learning rather than as high school students shuffling through class to class,” Michaud tells The Record. Supported by a grant from the River Market/Donald’s Market ONE Prize, the two graduates of the BCIT Technology Teacher Education program plan lead a group of 10 New Westminster youth in designing and building a woodworking project for the community. The project will involve making planter boxes. The plan was to place the planters at the youth centre at Century House, but they are still determining if the City of New Westminster will allow

The three-day workshop will launch with an ice-cream social, and it includes lunches for the teens. Atkinson and Michaud are volunteering their time. “So, it’s really a holistic vision of having the community support the youth through space and material and food,” explains Michaud,
who lives in East Vancouver, while Atkinson recently moved to New Westminster. The participants can be anyone aged 13 to 18 who is interested in learning new skills and meeting people. “We are looking for diversity of ethnicity and gender. We really want it to be an inclusive group of youth,” Michaud says. The New Westminster project will be their first, while another workshop is planned for East
Vancouver in August. “All of this is fairly exploratory,” she says. “It’s going to be a growing, evolving thing.” So far, five local teens are committed to the event. Youth, who are interested in participating, can email hammerandsawyouth@ gmail.com or call 778-896-2473. Anyone interested in donating food or tools to the cause, can do so through the same contact information. Twitter/nikimhope
Parents join teachers on the picket line BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
About a dozen parents turned up on the picket lines at Richard McBride Elementary Thursday morning to show their support for striking teachers. The parents, along with their children, carried signs in support of the teachers, waving and cheering when the occasional passing motorist honked in support of job action. “We wanted to get a few parents together before the end of the school year just to express our appreciation to the teachers and show them they’re not alone and the parents are with them,” said parent organizer Maya Russell, who has three children at McBride. “As a parent, I would like the government to fix this and get a deal.”

Russell is the daughter-in-law of former NDP MLA and MP Dawn Black. Russell is also a member of the district parent advisory council, along with Parents For Public Education (P4PE), a new political parent group that is considering running candidates in the upcoming school board elections. “Of all the priorities of the provincial government, this has got to be at the top of the list because our children do not have another chance at their education, so it should be funded properly,” she said. Another parent, Andrea Mears said in her child’s class of 22 there are two students with special needs and two students whose first language isn’t English. She questioned how the government expects teachers to do their job in the current constructs. “That you could, one, keep 25 five year olds

safe all day, let alone teach them anything, is completely insane,” Mears said. “I would like to see them properly address class size and composition.” “Just get back to the bargaining table. The teachers need a fair deal, the kids need to get back to school,” parent Danielle Connelly said. Sheryl Harrop, who has one daughter in McBride and twins entering kindergarten in the fall, was also concerned about how classrooms are made up. “Class size and composition directly affects my daughter, and therefore it directly affects me. I’ve been on field trips and I’ve seen the difficulties that teachers have to deal with, and that’s why this fight has to happen,” she said. “It needs to be resolved. This needs to be fixed.”

staffing levels for specialist teachers. According to Ministry of Education data, summer school is offered in 26 of B.C.’s 60 school districts and about 10 per cent of B.C. students enrol. This year’s estimate is for 53,600 students. The BCTF executive committee made the decision to extend the strike to summer school should a negotiated deal not be reached by June 30 during a meeting on June 23. The government has applied to the Labour Relations Board to vary the essen-
tial services order. New Westminster superintendent John Gaiptman hopes the Labour Relations Board will deem summer school an essential service for students who have failed a course and need to retake it. “It is my goal to make sure we manage the impact on students,” said Gaiptman. New Westminster Secondary is the only school in the district to offer summer school. Picket lines would only be set up at schools that offer the program, Iker said at the conference. www.twitter.com/nikimhope

OUR VIEW
Crimes that could trigger stripping of citizenship aren’t just those of people found guilty in Canadian courts but also those convicted in places where the rule of law doesn’t apply in the same way. One immigration lawyer said people handed parking tickets have more rights than those who stand to have their citizenship stripped under this law. That’s why the Canadian Bar Association is challenging it as unconstitutional. More profoundly, the law creates an

IN MY OPINION
Dear Editor:
I’d like to congratulate Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation on his excellent opinion piece of June 20 (Simple math for B.C.’s teachers) explaining the many and varied flaws in the BCTF’s tactic of undermining the economy. I quite agree that the teachers’ union must stop opposing economic growth, even when that growth comes from unsustainable practices that debilitate the environment and will ultimately benefit only the very wealthy. All economic growth is good and should never be criticized. So what if it extinguishes a few species, destroys a tourism industry worth $13.5 billion annually or ruins a coastline? That’s the price we pay for development. It’s like those teachers care about something other than money!

And why would teachers get involved with Occupy Vancouver? Such hypocrisy! How dare they protest wealth inequality when they benefit from the system that creates that inequality? Fortunately, Mr. Bateman, you have seen through their pitiful façade and are not afraid to speak out. After all, since everyone benefits from our financial system, nobody, and I mean nobody, has the right to speak against it, am I right? Haven’t teachers heard that what’s good for business is good for everyone? That a rising tide lifts all boats? That the wealth at the top will trickle down to all of us? Well, something will trickle down, just you wait and see. You have certainly opened my eyes about the BCTF wanting to return to year 2000 tax levels. I thought they just wanted education funding to return to levels from before that contract stripping happened, what with it being unconstitutional and

all. If you hadn’t pointed it out, I would never have known that their real desire is to increase our individual provincial tax burden by almost three grand! Of course, once the BCTF is busted and we all send our kids to private schools, the fees will be more than twice that. But I’m sure you’ll agree with me that fees are OK because they’re not taxes. Those fees, steep though they may be, will be paying for schools and books and teachers that care about our kids and do their best to help them succeed, unlike taxes, which just go to government. I am certainly glad that you are here to reveal the true, hidden agenda of the teachers of B.C. Keep up the good work. Mike Balser, New Westminster
Laid-back Canadian error? Dear Editor:
We await the decision by Port Metro Vancouver on the application by Fraser Surrey Docks to install a coal transfer station on the Fraser River. Let it be made very, very clear to the uninformed, this is not Canadian coal, not even Canadian crews or even Canadian trains which would transport the coal from Wyoming right up to Fraser Surrey Docks. This would be detrimental to our B.C. environment and way of life in a number of ways. There has been no independent, comprehensive health impact assessment as called for by two chief medical health officers to ascertain the effects of fugitive coal dust and diesel exhaust fumes. The beachfront communities of White Rock and Crescent Beach would be seriously impacted by the increased rail traffic and obstruction of access to not only the beach but also residential areas. If approved, the coal would be loaded on open barges travelling down the Fraser, through the Gulf Islands to Texada Island where it would be piled exposed to the elements awaiting shipment to China.
There would be no extra jobs on the barges as they already transport limestone from Texada to the Lafarge dock on the Fraser. Considering the various adverse effects of this proposition, it begs the question – are 25 jobs at Fraser Surrey Docks worth it? If approved, one can only imagine Warren Buffett and the American coal barons salivating and saying, “there, we knew even though our ports on the West Coast refused to ship our thermal coal, we knew those laid-back Canadians would go for it.” David Gibbs, Surrey
Learn to compromise Dear Editor:
I admire Fraser Brandon and the students for standing up for what they believe regardless of what it might cost. If these students understand what “compromise” means, why can’t the adults really understand what it means? Are we teaching them “My way or no way”? Here is short example of compromise: During the 1980s, the president of the company that I was working for called a meeting and explained our financial status. There were two options he offered: layoffs or forgo our yearly wage increase for a couple of years. Which one do you think we chose? As a single mother with two daughters, it was hard to forgo the yearly wage increase. However, we sacrificed our personal needs for the good of the many. This was called compromise. We keep on saying that the young people are our future generation. So, why can’t the teachers and the government negotiate and compromise for the good of the students? If there are concessions to give up – give up to end this fiasco. It is a two-way street. Teachers and government, please come to your senses for the good of the students and their future.

THE RECORD STORY: “New West student activists against coal” – June 19
Comment via RoyalCityRecord.com I Martha Storin: Coal plays an immense part in developing the world as we know it. China could not have developed as quickly as it did without coal. The Western World would not be as developed as it is today without coal. Europe is still burning a massive amount of coal for energy. Coal hasn’t damaged China. It has made it a powerful economic force. It has improved the living standards of many Chinese. The pollution has more to do with the method in which they run their power plants and quality of coal they are burning. These two young ladies are probably out of school now due to the strike. A large part of BC revenues comes from the resource sector. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Money doesn’t come out of thin air. At least these girls mentioned real estate values. If you bought a house next to a port or railway track you should probably expect traffic to increase and not decrease over time. Real Estate, not health and environmental concerns, is the true reasoning behind most NIMBYs.

cult for the department to develop strategic “plans of action to tackle the problem areas,” read the statement. According to McDaniel, the police have been in communication on several occasions with business owners in the area, including last year when a bulletin, indicating police were aware of the crime, was sent to owners in the area. The bulletin also asked that all criminal activity be reported. More recently, in May, Insp. Phil Eastwood met with business owners in the area and the owner of a security company who informed him of several examples of criminal activity in the area. Eastwood shared this infor-

We strongly encourage all members of the public to report crimes and suspicious activity, which will allow us to best allocate our resources and accomplish our goal of reducing crime and making New Westminster a safe community,” McDaniel said.

◗ IN THE COMMUNITY
Top 5 Things To Do in the city this weekend ◗P23 In the Library: A mountain of reading for summer ◗P24
Larry Wright/THE RECORD
Vision for the future: Salim Hassan, the new marketing manager of River Market, is a couple of months into his job – and he’s already intent on helping the market achieve its goal of becoming the “best market in the world” by 2020.
Creating ‘the best market in the world’
S
alim Hassan is the new marketing manager at the River Market at Westminster Quay. Hassan, 31, is still getting his feet wet after only two months on the job, but The Record’s Jennifer Thuncher recently caught up with him for a chat about his background, his new position and his hopes for the River Market. What follows is an abridged version of that conversation. Jennifer Thuncher: How is where you grew up, in the United Arab Emirates, different from where you find yourself now, in New Westminster? Salim Hassan: I was born and raised in Dubai. I decided to
come out to B.C when I was 17 to attend university. Dubai is very different from New West in that Dubai is not a walking city, everything is quite dispersed, and it is also a very young city. Being able to walk pretty much anywhere here, and come across cobblestone streets and train tracks, creates this sense no matter how far you may have gone from your home that you are still home. Also, there is so much history in New West, and you can see that it is celebrated and showcased almost everywhere. JT: What are your main goals in your new position? SH: I want the locals to know about River Market – for them
to know it isn’t what it used to be. We have customers who come here who still refer to it as “Westminster Quay Public Market” and are surprised to see the positive changes that have happened to the market over the last few years. My goal is also to have more consistent visitors during weekdays and for people to know there’s a still lot happening right through the winter months. JT: What are some of the challenges you face at the market? SH: Some of the challenges are things we can’t control. For example, trains and railroad tracks are awesome – except when they’re dividing you from the rest of the New West popula-
tion. So getting people past that physical barrier can be tough, so if a magical escalator were to appear, it would make our lives a lot easier. JT: What would success for the River Market look like to you? SH: Sometimes when I talk to people about River Market, if they don’t know what I am talking about, I compare it to Granville Island. I would like to see it flip the other way around where the River Market is used as an example to describe a destination. We say here that we would like River Market to be the best market in the world by 2020. It is a big goal, but why not have a big goal?
JT: How do you see the River Market fitting to the rest of New Westminster? SH: I think New Westminster is at a tipping point of being the city to live in. It has history, and now there are many new developments taking shape as more people are beginning to see the potential New West has to offer. River Market fits in perfectly with New West, because we’re both moving boldly forward with new tastes, activities and designs while still embracing our historic roots. JT: What do you like best about working in New Westminster? SH: I really enjoy the boardwalk. I am a certified personal ◗Hassan Page 12

Celebrate Canada Day on the waterfront AROUND TOWN
THERESA MCMANUS
N
ew Westminster’s waterfront will be a lively affair for the annual Canada Day festivities. The Hyack Festival Association, in partnership with River Market, is inviting residents to enjoy a day of fun, festivities and fireworks on Tuesday, July 1. This year’s event gets underway at 3 p.m.
at the Quay with buskers, children’s activities and entertainment taking place near River Market. Music Box music and theatre academy will be offering children’s crafts from 4 to 8 p.m., and Vancouver Circus School will offer activities from 6 to 9 p.m. A variety of performers will take to the entertainment stage: Creole Jazz Band (3 to 4 p.m.); Giovanni (4 to 4:30 p.m.); Boot River Boys (5 to 6 p.m.); Royal Westminster Regiment Band (6 to 7 p.m.); and Freedom 95 (8:15 to 9:45 p.m.) River Market shops will remain open late for the festivities, and Fraser
River Discovery Centre is staying open until 6 p.m. The evening will end with a bang, when fireworks will light up the sky. While Hyack has had some tough times in the past year, Kal Tire, Kruger, Vancity, Fortis and the City of New Westminster are supporting this year’s Canada Day event.
Pancakes for breakfast
Two local organizations are joining forces for a tasty pancake breakfast. The New Westminster Lions Club, known for its many pancake breakfasts around town, is holding
a pancake breakfast on Saturday, June 28 with the Sapperton Pensioners Association. The breakfast, which runs from 8 to 11:30 a.m., is being held at the Sapperton Pensioners’ Hall at 318 Keary St. The breakfast costs $5 per person and is free for children five and under.
Planning award
The awards keep rolling in for the City of New Westminster. The city’s planning division was recently awarded a Silver Award of Excellence in the Excellence in Policy Planning category from the Planning Institute
Another grocery shuffle in the city BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER
nhope@royalcityrecord.com
Attention all shoppers: There’s another grocery store shuffle in New Westminster. The Overwaitea Food Group announced last week it is shutting down its Save-On-Foods store at Westminster Centre by August, the same time it is slated to open a new store at Columbia Square in downtown. Earlier this year, Overwaitea Food Group took over additional stores in New Westminster, in addition to a previously secured site at Columbia Square. At the time, Save-On moved into the former Safeway location at Royal City Centre and at the former
Thrifty’s location in Sapperton. Once Overwaitea took over the two new locations in the city, the company undertook a market assessment to consider options available to allow for continued growth in the market and opted to close the Westminster Centre location, according to a media release. “We are pleased to say we anticipate all of our Westminster Centre team members will stay with us during this change,” Save-On-Foods vicepresident Jamie Nelson said in the release. “On Aug. 1, we look forward to continuing to serve customers in our three locations in Royal City, Sapperton and Columbia Square.” The majority of the employees at the Westminster Centre location,
including the management team, will be going to Columbia Square. If someone doesn’t go to Columbia Square, they’ll be given options in one of the company’s other locations, Overwaitea spokesperson Julie Dickson Olmstead told The Record. The Overwaitea Food Group got its start nearly 100 years ago in New Westminster and re-entered the market in 2009 with the opening of the Westminster Centre location. When the Columbia Square location opens and Westminster Centre closes, there will be three Save-On-Foods stores in the city. Save-On-Foods is part of the Overwaitea Food Group, which has 16,000 employees and operates 144 stores in B.C. and Alberta.
of B.C. in recognition of its rental housing policy. These awards honour the best in professional planning work undertaken by members in communities and regions across British Columbia and the Yukon. “It’s an honour for our department to be recognized by the PIBC for this innovative policy,” said development services director Beverly Grieve, who accepted the award on the city’s behalf. “It’s creating a positive change in the supply of long-term rental housing in New Westminster.” The Planning Institute of B.C. commented that New Westminster’s rental
housing policy is a well thought out, complex initiative and is practical, with more than 500 rental units already committed. The official who presented the city with the award also pointed out that the policy is easily transferable to other communities. In recent months, the city has won several awards for Westminster Pier Park. It’s also won awards from the B.C. Parks and Recreation Association. Do you have an item for Around Town?

trainer too, so I love walking along it on my lunch break – doubles as a great way to work off all the good food I have been having at the market since I have joined. The boardwalk feels like your own private spot at times, and no one feels
like a stranger, you always get the casual greeting or nod. JT: What is coming up at the River Market that you are working on? SH: There are big celebrations here in conjunction with the Hyack Festival Association for
Canada Day. There will be circus performances by Vancouver Circus School, children’s activities by Music Box and fireworks. It is one of our busiest days of the year, and we’re expecting about 5,000 people. We also are working on a project this summer that involves about
50,000 pieces of Lego. Stay tuned for more on that. For more on River Market go to rivermarket.ca.

Feel the beat: A performer from Cheondoong gets into the drumming spirit at the 1,000 Drummers of B.C. event June 21 at New Westminster’s Pier Park.
To the beat of 1,000 Drummers
Hundreds of people turned out at Westminster Pier Park on June 21 to take part in the 1,000 Drummers of B.C. event. The first event of its kind drew people to both watch drumming performances and take part in drum circles. The Columbia Performing Arts Society, the Kiwanis Club and the City of New Westminster sponsored the inaugural festival, with the goals of celebrating the “harmonious diversity” of the West Coast and to establish a place for a regular gathering of musicians and music lovers. The event started off with a youth group from Streetbeat singing O Canada, followed by a rendition of We Are the World. Groups taking part in the performances included Sawagi Taiko, Cheondoong and Van Namsadang, along with the renowned “tabla tornado,” Queensborough’s own Cassius Khan. The event ended with a drum circle. “This will be a yearly event, and eventually we will reach the goal of 1,000 drummers,” organizers said in a press release. “If you missed John van Putten/THE RECORD out on the excitement this year, please join us in 2015 – same time, Tabla tornado: Cassius Khan performs at the 1,000 same place!” Drummers of B.C. event.

◗ FILL IN THE BLANKS
Introducing Howard Dai
W
e have started a new Fill in the Blanks series, which introduces Record readers to a variety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainment community. Subjects fill out a short questionnaire, “filling in the blanks” to let us know about themselves. Meet this week’s featured subject, Howard Dai. Howard is a just-finished-Grade 11 student at New Westminster Secondary School who first discovered a passion for theatre during the NWSS production of Grease in 2010. Since then he has performed in several productions around the Lower Mainland, including Kitchen Witches with the Vagabond Players last year. He recently worked with fellow student Tiger Xu – a Grade 12 IB student – to produce an NWSS production of Rumors, by Neil Simon. Now, here’s more about Howard … 1. I am an artist. Or at least I’d like to think I am. 2. I spend my time getting involved in the community and all the fine arts programs. 3. Right now I am working on producing a play.* 4. The book on my bedside table right now is The Catcher In The Rye. 5. Three songs you’ll find on my iPod playlist are
Silly Love Song by Paul McCartney and Wings, Love is Art/Sleep Through Fire by Said The Whale, Emerald Lake, AB by Said The Whale. 6. One work of art that inspires me is the David Fincher film The Social Network. I watch the film to study acting and directing – I learn something new every time I watch it. 7. One artist who inspired and still continues to inspire me is Don Parman. He brought me into the world of theatre and festival with his spectacular vision and unstoppable energy; there is no “NO” in his dictionary. 8. My idea of a perfect day would start with choir rehearsals, with drama classes and band rehearsals staggered throughout the day, and ends with dinner with some of my closest friends. 9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is McDonald’s French fries or Anny’s poutine with Barq’s root beer. 10. My guilty pleasure is Disney TV shows and teen-pop music from five years ago. 11. My favourite vacation spot is any Disneyland. 12. My favourite thing about New Westminster is Massey Theatre and NWSS’ performing arts department. 13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, I would choose Paul
Artist on the rise: Howard Dai conducts during a New Westminster Secondary School band concert.

McCartney. 14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose New York. 15. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be invisibility. And finally ... 16. If people want to find out more about me, they can follow me on Twitter @howardai, @momentum_yam, or @TwoGentlemenNW.

More high-octane entertainment for your enjoyment during our ALL DAY Canada Day Celebrations! Music with Marnie
How it all Began -Marnie Grey’s, popularity has exploded over the last fourteen years; due to four hit CD’s, consecutive sell out shows and incredibly popular Music Classes. With a strong background in both Early Childhood Education and children’s music, Marnie combined her two talents and developed and taught five unique Music and Movement Classes from 1999 to present. Marnie’s classes were by far the most popular Preschool and Toddler Classes in Greater Vancouver, and would regularly sell out within less than 10 seconds of on-line registration.
In Dec 2012, Marnie’s performances & classes received high acclaim Winning not 1 but 2 West Coast Families Reader’s Choice GOLD
Awards for Best Classes and Best Children’s Performer!
You asked for them, so here they are again!!
The Blue Meenies
The Blue Meenies are a perennial favourite on Canada Day in Queen’s Park. They’ve been capitivating crowds across Metro Vancouver for a full generation. This year they cap off the Canada Day entertainment with their brand of fun hits from the ‘40s to the ‘90s. You’ll probably know all the songs they play, so prepare to smile, sing along and maybe even dance a little.
When The Blue Meenies appear on stage… expect and get high-energy performance!
NWSS Senior Jazz Band
First on stage to kick off our entertainment, we welcome this year’s grade 12 Jazz Band from New Westminster Secondary School that has been receiving accolades from across the province and beyond, based on their excellent performances in festivals and concerts. The band was invited to play at the Nationals, and received top rating. This band is ordinarily under the direction of Steve Clements in New Westminster Secondary’s Music Department, but he is currently in Montreal, and in his absence, the band will be directed by the lead altoist, the very capable Mr. Gursimran Sandhu. This is the band’s final performance together as a group, as the vast majority of them will be moving on now to various post-secondary endeavors after the summer.

◗ IN THE LIBRARY
A mountain of reading at the public library
BY SHELLEY WILSON-ROBERTS CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com
T
he great thing about being a reader is that it allows you to learn about places you may never visit, and skills you may never acquire. In my case, I have recently become fascinated by mountain climbing. Some of you may climb mountains or dream of summiting Mount Everest. Not me – so reading about it takes me there without having to risk frostbite, broken limbs or worse. Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air recounts an expedition to Everest in 1996 that went horribly wrong. His detailed accounts of climbing Everest are fascinating, and his description of events that led to eight people dying on the mountain was very controversial at the time of publication. Touching the Void is a documentary DVD about British mountaineer Joe Simpson and his near-fatal fall while climbing in Peru. Extensive interviews with Joe and his climbing partner Simon Yates describe the terrible events on Siula Grande. If you are curious about the mechanics of climbing an icy moun-
tain, there are many scenes that re-create the climbers’ journey up and down the mountain. For a fictional account of climbing Everest, Dan Simmons’ The Abominable is a suspenseful account of a secret expedition to Everest in the 1920s following George Mallory and Sandy Irvine’s disappearance in 1924. Simmons’s narrator is Jake Perry, a young American climber who joins an expedition with a mission to recover a lost body on the slopes of Everest. The sense of isolation on the mountain adds considerably to the suspense. Canadian author Wade Davis’s book Into the Silence is about the Great War and George Mallory’s climb of Everest in 1924; Davis wonders why men who had lived through the horror of the First World War would then risk climbing Everest. You, too, can reach new heights with reading at the New Westminster Public Library. Check out the Mountains of Reading booklist in the library catalogue. Ice axes and down parkas are entirely optional. See more about the library online at www. nwpl.ca.

Glimpses of life in city by the river OUR PAST
ARCHIE & DALE MILLER
S
tories of life on the Fraser River are always popular. Depending on what detail, historical connections and other things that add to a tale are included, a simple story can add greatly to the colour, character and personality of our maritime heritage. The following item from a local newspaper from 130 years ago, June 1884, is a wonderful example of this. The account features, in a supporting role, the sternwheeler Reliance, a prominent vessel on the river and part of the fleet of ships operated by Capt. John Irving. The primary players in our story are a couple of birds – swallows – that dominate the following account. “Last year two swallows, male and female, built a nest in the letter box on the steamer
Reliance which is now in port. The birds went up and down the river to Yale with the boat and appeared to be a happy pair.” As the story went on, five eggs appeared in the nest and the mother bird was fully comfortable with the humans watching this all play out and even handle them. “The purser and other persons looked at this interesting female every day and she was not alarmed by human touch.” However, somehow the eggs were broken, and though the mother repaired the nest, it was too late as the birds were leaving for the south. The purser was intrigued by these little birds, so he placed a small piece of wire around the leg of the female so he could identify her should she return. “Six weeks ago the swallows came back, and the lady with the wire garter proceeded at once to build a nest in the letter box. She has a family of five charming birds, and every one will be the picture of papa.” The birds continued to be very comfortable with
humans around and went about their routines of feeding their young with people near at hand. “The old birds (were) not at all surprised by the presence of man.” The reporter in 1884 was quite taken with the story and supplied some interesting observations: “It is really surprising to see the confidence that these two birds place in the wickedest things that walk. Man can scarcely trust his fellow man, but here we see the birds confiding in him.” The story reported that the boat was moored at the Irving wharf and was to be there for a month. Presumably this was an invitation to visit the vessel to witness this swallow family, as “in a week the young ones will fly.” After a number of other comparative comments on these birds and mankind, a heart-warming note about the mother bird was added to our maritime heritage story from 1884: “When she sits on the rail looking at her baby on the purser’s hand, she represents the fond mother in the most inimitable manner.” Proudly Presented by

As Fast as his name implies BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
Burnaby Lake Canoe and Kayak Club’s Eric Fast is hoping to remain true to his surname. The 17-year-old North Vancouver resident is one of just four B.C. paddlers to earn an international assignment following national junior team trials held at Lake Banook, Nova Scotia three weeks ago. Fast and Alex Brent of Maple Ridge won a spot on Canada’s men’s kayak team that will compete at the junior world championships in Szeged, Hungary July 17 to 20. Fast had high hopes of making it in the singles kayak, but despite a solid winter of training, he finished with disappointing results. “Honestly, I didn’t feel my singles were up to my or my coach’s expectations of what my performances have been this season,” said the 5-8 Fast. He thought maybe he To view hadn’t prepared well enough a video, for the team trials, or perscan haps it was the competitive with atmosphere. Layar But when he and Brent stepped into the doubles kayak, things changed. “When we got into the K2 Alex told me ‘Don’t look back.’ I got in front and we just kept going,” Fast remembered. “At 150m left, I took a look and couldn’t see anybody. Alex said. “’Pal, we’re golden.’ “I was pretty surprised because (Brent) is my size, and we were up against a sizable headwind.” Bigger and heavier crews often have an advantage in such conditions, but Fast and Brent won the 1,000-metre K2 final by a whopping four seconds. The win earned the two an extra week of practice in Nova Scotia for junior national team assessments. “It’s amazing. Where we’re going is basically the mecca of paddling in the world,” said Fast. “For me, I’ve surpassed any expecations I had for this year, so anything I achieve will be a bonus, but I’m still going to race my heart out.” Fast came by his skill at a young age. Since a toddler, he had been exposed to ocean kayaking by his parents and began to paddle in earnest by the time he was ready for school. He’s been racing at the Burnaby Lake club since he was eight, often on his own and selfcoached. Provincial head coach Blake Dalton began working with Fast in November of last year and likes what he’s seen. “Eric is a hard worker and a student of the sport and always eager to learn,” said Dalton.

First international: Eric Fast is on his way to Szeged, Hungary to race for Canada at the World junior kayak championships from July 17 to 20. Being of a smaller body type, paddlers like Fast have to be technically more efficient than their taller, longer-limbed competitors, said Dalton. He gave an example of Fast’s determination and character at a recent practice, where the high school senior was tired from exhaustive
1000-m repitition training against a veteran national team member on Burnaby Lake. “Eric was tired from a hard training week,” said Dalton. “He was pretty exhausted. Most paddlers would say, ‘time for a break’, or ◗Kayak Page 31
Hyacks reach 22 A finals at provincial AA meet BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
Matteus Ticne will be joining the Hyack Swim Club AAA team following medal swims at the B.C. AA long course championships in Victoria last weekend. Ticne won his first AA provincial gold medal, winning the 11-and-under boys’ 100-metre breaststroke in a time of 1:36.08. Ticne also placed third in the 200m breast with a AAA qualify-
A dozen wins and counting for Jr. ’Bellies
ing time of 3:30.44. He earned a third medal, a silver, with the 12and-under Hyack medley relay team. Amar Fejzic was perhaps the busiest Hyack at the AA meet. Fejzic won a pair of bronze medals in the 14-and-over boys’ divsion, placing third in both the 100m freestyle and backstroke finals. Fejzic also picked up a fourthplace ribbon in the 50m free and a fifth in the 100m butterfly, while
also reaching the final of the 200m backstroke. Eric Wu placed runner-up in the 12/13 boys’ 100m breast, while Dragos Tudosa was third in the pre-teen boys’ 200m fly. The Hyack pair, along with Graham Dowdle, put up a great Hyack showing in the 200m breast final, placing sixth, seventh and fifth, respectively. Dowdle also had a meet-best fourth-place finish in the 100m breast. Dowdle, Wu, Fejzic and Jakob
Garricks also picked up a gold in the 14-and-over boys’ 200m medley. Garricks had a best fifth in the 400m individual medley. Victoria Chandler also had a personal-best fourth-place finish in the 14-and-over girls’ 200m fly. Isabella Brunoro posted best times in all her events, including a fifth-place finish in the 100m fly in her first A final. Kyra Tamagi made it into an A final, finishing seventh in the 100m back.
The New Westminster Salmonbellies racked up their 12th consecutive victory, but it took a strong third period to do it. The junior A ’Bellies defeated the Langley Thunder 16-9 at home on Tuesday thanks to a sevengoal final period at Queen’s Park Arena. With Steven Mayervich playing some of his best lacrosse of the season for Langley in the first two periods, the Thunder gave as good as they got in the opening 40 minutes. Langley opened the scoring on the first of Brendan Mykle-Winkler’s three goals. New Westminster led 4-3 after one period and was leading 9-6 with two minutes left in the middle frame before Langley drew even with three tallies in a span of 30 seconds. But the third period was all New West, as Josh Byrne, who led all runners with a game-high six goals and eight points, opened the period with his game-winning fourth of the game. Quinn Mackay scored 30 seconds later, and the rally was on in earnest as New West blanked the visiting Thunder with seven unanswered goals while outshooting Langley 19-4 in the period. But New West was settling for quantity over quality in its shooting in the early going. “We were settling for the outside shot. You want to get quality early in the shot clock. If (the ball) is not going in, you have to get inside,” said head coach Dan Perreault. Connor Robinson scored twice and added four assists to move to within four points of a century in scoring this season. Lefthander Johnny Pearson also collected six points, while Jeremy Bosher added five points from the right side. Luke Gillespie tallied his second consecutive hat trick for New West. The junior ’Bellies will take on Burnaby at the Bill Copeland centre on Sunday. Game time is 7 p.m.

’Bellies lose another close one BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com
The New Westminster Salmonbellies will have to put together a much better second half or risk a third straight year out of the playoffs. The last-place Salmonbellies dropped their sixth straight Western Lacrosse Association matchup, falling 8-6 to the Langley Thunder at the Langley Events Centre on Wednesday. An unanswered fourgoal scoring spree midway through the middle period proved the difference in the outcome for the senior A ’Bellies. Former New West juniors had strong outings for the second-place Thunder. Alex Turner earned the game’s first star, topping all scorers with six points, including a pair of goals. Daniel McQuade garnered three points, including one of the secondperiod counters that put Langley ahead 6-4. Transition runners Tyler
Crompton and Jesse Fehr got the visitors off to a good start, but Langley kept the contest close, ending the period down 3-2 despite being outshot 15-10. New West game star Keegan Bal gave New West a 4-2 advantage early in the second period, but Athan Iannucci sparked the Thunder run with a powerplay goal at 6:15. Turner tied it up off the ensuing faceoff to swing the momentum in Langley’s favour. Alexis Buque took the loss in goal for the Salmonbellies. Brodie MacDonald registered the win with 35 stops. The loss left New West at the bottom of the WLA ladder with a record of 27-0, currently six points out of a potential playoff spot. Langley improved its record to 6-5-0. New West takes on Burnaby at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre today (Friday) at 7:45 p.m.

W E S T M I N S T E R
Dr. Douglas Lovely & Associates have been driven to provide the very best in family dental care and advanced cosmetic dentistry procedures for more than three decades. While he and his team of five dentists offer general and specialized dentistry, Dr. Lovely has sought advanced dental training and constantly keeps his skills current. Today, Dr. Lovely enjoys a thriving dental practice, with the same enthusiasm and love he had when he decided to enter dentistry. Dr. Lovely comes with a wealth of knowledge and vast experience. After graduating at the top of his class from Dalhousie University, he attended numerous study clubs, was a former UBC clinical instructor, completed a mini residency at Dalhousie University and maintained a mentorship with his associate practice. The winner of Best Dentist in the Record Newspaper for three years in a row, Dr. Lovely was also the past governor with the Canadian Dental Association and is active in numerous dental associations. He is passionate about patient education and believes a big part of a dentist’s job is to educate patients about oral health so that they can make well-informed decisions. His clinic offers the latest state-of-the-art dentistry and specializes in a wide range of services and the most up-to-date advancements in cosmetic dentistry, including dental implants, dental veneers, as well as teeth whitening and more. “We have a great dental team, most have been a part of our practice for 10 or more years,” Dr. Lovely says.“We can treat almost all patient needs right here in our office.This includes entire families, including children, for everything from dental cleanings with one of our hygienists to implant surgery to cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics and Botox treatments.” In keeping with the practice’s promise to provide the latest in dentistry, Dr. Lovely recently introduced Invisalign Orthodontic treatment (Braces). Dr. Lovely’s clinic is located at 609 Sixth St. New Westminster. For more information or to book and appointment, call 604-524-4981 or visit www.newwestminsterdentists.com.
