Facing future floods

New strategy works to help protect local communities BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The catastrophic floods in Alberta in 2013 have provided a wakeup call to ensure British Columbia takes action to address flooding. The Fraser Basin Council unveiled its multi-year flood management strategy in New Westminster on July 15. The two-phased strategy aims to create a better way of protecting communities from flooding. “Lower Mainland communities face a significant and growing risk of a major flood,” Colin Hansen, chair of the Fraser Basin Council, said in a press release. “This flood management strategy reflects a serious, unprecedented commitment by the federal government, the province of B.C., 25 Lower Mainland local governments and other public and private sector organizations to work together on flood protection measures that will safeguard the region as a whole.” Phase 1 (2014 and 2015) of the strategy aims to build a better understanding of flood hazards in the Lower Mainland, identify flood vulnerabilities across the region and assess flood management practices and policies from a regional perspective. Phase 2 (2016 and beyond) will ◗Floods Page 4

Sharing nature’s bounty

Gardeners can share extra produce with those in need through Plant a Row program BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A local program is sowing the seeds of healthy eating among families in need. The Plant A Row/Grow a Row program, now in its 14th season in New Westminster, encourages gardeners to plant extra produce that can be donated to the New Westminster Food Bank. The program allows local families in need to put healthy, fresh food on their tables.

After being collected at St. Thomas More Collegiate, the food is taken to the New Westminster Food Bank and soon dispersed to appreciative local families. Claude LeDoux, program coordinator, said residents have donated items including lettuce, kale, red and white potatoes, blueberries and raspberries. Two children’s gardens at schools affiliated with St. Thomas More have been donating produce to the cause. “It’s coming on now that the weather has warmed and people are starting to harvest,” he said. “The quality is amazing.” The Sunday morning collections will take place until October. All fresh fruits and vegetables – fresh from the yard or the grocery store – are welcome.

“Any amount of produce is great,” LeDoux said. “When you put it all together, it is a lot.” LeDoux, who is also the City of New Westminster’s horticulture manager, recently donated 30 pounds of lettuce from his own garden. LeDoux and program volunteer Joan Miller recently delivered some produce to food bank coordinator Mona Forsyth after a recent collection day. “She sorts it out with her staff and passes it out,” LeDoux said. “It’s not going to waste.” Volunteers gladly accept donations of fruits and veggies on Sunday mornings from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. at St. Thomas More Collegiate, 7450 12th Ave. – just across the border in Burnaby. twitter.com/TheresaMcManus

CAYLEY DOBIE

The Record’s crime reporter, Cayley Dobie, recently sat down with the New Westminster Police Department’s two previous chief constables and its current leader to hear how policing in the Royal City has changed since the mid’90s. In this final installment, we look at what’s to come for the 141-year-old department and how it plans on getting there.

n offices across the country there is a growing generational gap between employees. At the New Westminster Police Department, the gap is quite noticeable. While there are many young officers working their way up the ranks, most management positions are held by officers who will likely retire within the next decade – if not sooner. Next year, for example, three of five New Westminster officers in management positions will retire, leaving large vacancies that will have to be filled – but by who? That’s the question Chief Const. Dave Jones is hoping to answer sooner rather than later. “As long as you know about it, it’s a great opportunity,” Jones says. “When you know that it’s happening, it gives you a lot of time to advance plan. So decisions we’re making today are about what’s going happen next year.” Jones himself is the product of effective planning. His predecessors Lorne Zapotichny and Peter Young were both brought into the department because there had been no succession plan in place when former police chief Jack Fordham took an early retirement. Fordham’s departure resulted in a nationwide search for his replacement. Jones says succession planning is a sign of success for an organization. “It’s not the success of an individual or self-picking somebody because it will fall apart, and the succession planning will fail really quickly if the person can’t do the job and you’ll have to get rid of him and come from outside,”

sure on the department to ensure the transition will be a smooth one for the officers being promoted. Speaking to the three management positions that will open up next year, Jones says he plans on having the officers who fill those spots identified this year. “This isn’t going to be a baton hand-off like an Olympic race. It’s going to be people coming up ahead of time, getting into the role a head of time, which is why we’re hiring to over hire, so we can move people sooner than later,” Jones adds. As for the search for the next police chief of the New Westminster Police Department, Jones is coy about his intentions. Promoted to chief constable when he was only 49 years old, Jones has three years left on his contract and admits retiring is not really something he is considering right now. “Contracts can be renewed,” Jones adds, mischievously. Zapotichny knows all about renewals. He spent 10 years as chief constable of the department, after the mayor and police board renewed his contract in the mid 2000s. But he, Jones and Young all agree that striving to be police chief isn’t always the best way to achieve success. “Because this is a job of responsibility, not privilege. It ◗Police chief Page 10

Thief steals precious memories BY JACOB ZINN REPORTER

editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Doug Fielding wants his laptop back, but more importantly, he wants the photos of his toddler that are on the hard drive. Fielding, who owns Douglas Family Motors at Kabani Auto, said someone swiped his Samsung laptop from his office on Monday, July 7, while he was in a meeting in Richmond. The laptop contained hundreds, if not thousands, of photos of his son Gabriel, who is almost two years old. “It has all the photos of my family and my son since he was born,” said Fielding. “Every occasion Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Christmas, birthdays. “We can’t get those back unless we get the laptop back without it erased.” The surveillance camera in his office wasn’t recording at the time of the theft. But Fielding believes he came face to face with the suspect two nights after the laptop went missing,

at around the same time of day that he believes the laptop vanished, when he saw a man in the hallway. “He was actually going to open the door of the office next to me, and he said he was looking for the restroom and that his car was getting detailed at Key West Ford. “I followed him to the back where he hopped on a green moped and took off.” Fielding described the man as Caucasian, in his mid-20s to mid-30s. He noted the man was wearing a silver motorcycle helmet and had some tattoos, including one on his right hand. There was no licence plate on the moped. While he’s not entirely certain what model of laptop he had, he believes it’s part of Samsung’s Series 9 line of computers. He noted that the laptop is metallic grey and has a thin screen as well as a dual core processor. The thief also took the laptop’s charger and a

IN MY OPINION

Dear Editor:

I read the July 9 article, Get ready for pro soccer, with disbelief. How could the city consider selling off part of Queen’s Park to a developer? There are few enough facilities for local residents to use, and now we are considering allowing professional soccer to monopolize one of the best fields in New Westminster. Nowhere in the city’s Queen’s Park plan, released last year, is this sort of usage discussed. The plan itself states that “it was strongly supported that the ball fields at Queen’s Park stadium remain as existing. The field at the stadium is the only long outfield in New Westminster that can accommodate higherlevel baseball. The fields are in good condition, and this plan

recommends that they remain as existing which is supported by residents.” The plan also cautions that parking cannot be accommodated for more than one event in the park. Traffic has been such a frustration in the city and now we invite more cars to one of the most congested areas. We have two months during the summer when many are away to “seek consultation.” I do not recall the park plan or school planning ever being railroaded through so quickly. It reminds me of St. Mary’s Hospital when they were so quick to tear it down that nothing could be done to change the course of the decision. Why should residents be asked to fast track such a change to accommodate private interests when we do not have a clear idea of the implications, costs or benefits?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City pleasing developers ◗ continued from page 6

Baseball for older youth will be lost in this city as there is no other field large enough to play on. Once again city officials are tripping over themselves to please developers over residents. Let’s at least have the decency to get the feedback from the community once all the facts are in before we starting ripping out the grass and stands and forever changing the park.

Animals need our voices

Dear Editor:

Thank you to the many people who have been calling in to the BCSPCA to report pets left in vehicles during the current hot spell. All animals, from our household pets to cows and other farm animals, and even the wild ones in nature, need caring humans to represent them. I’m heartened by people who will take the time to be a voice for animals. You might label me an “animal lover” or an “activist,” but I don’t consider myself separate from any other caring person. I have taken to heart the BCSPCA motto, “Speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves,” and I’ve made a commitment to do what I can in that regard. My impact may not be overwhelming,

but when it is joined to a larger community of people who are willing to play a part, I can make a difference. Humans and animals alike are thinking, feeling beings that I’m sure you agree deserve to be treated with respect. We can all play a part in animal welfare by speaking up in reporting possible abuse, such as with the animals in sweltering vehicles, or by making a donation to an animal welfare organization, or by donating our time in the same way, or even just by writing a letter to our local paper to help bring awareness to an animal issue. I implore everyone to do something to help animals. They really need our voices now more than ever. Jacqueline Hohmann, Surrey,

Thanks to Good Samaritans Dear Editor:

Cops nab theft suspect BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A spike belt was all it took for New Westminster police to apprehend an alleged car thief on Tuesday. Patrol officers spotted a blue Volkswagen Jetta at about 2:40 a.m. on July 15, according to a press release from the New Westminster Police Department. The Jetta had been reported stolen from a location in Langley several days earlier, so the officers began tailing the vehicle, without sirens or lights. Police followed the vehicle over the Pattullo Bridge where waiting officers deployed a spike belt, deflating two of the car’s tires, according to the release. Despite driving over the spike belt, the suspect attempted to flee from police, but

the damage to the tires was too great and the vehicle was forced to pull into a shallow ditch at 132nd Street and 112B Avenue in Surrey, just past the Pattullo Bridge. “Dealing with stolen vehicles can be a very high-risk activity,” said Staff Sgt. Paul Hyland said in the release. “We are pleased that this incident was brought to a safe conclusion by our members, who were able to disable the vehicle and take the suspect into custody while minimizing the risk to the public, the police and the suspect herself.” Burnaby resident Phyllis Louise Clark is now facing five charges, including possession of stolen property, flight from a police officer, dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving while disqualified and possession of a controlled substance. Clark will appear in New Westminster court on July 21.

Robbery suspect arrested

A Surrey man is in custody following an investigation by New Westminster police last week. On June 24 at about 10:20 a.m., local patrol officers were called to the 1100 block of Royal Avenue after receiving reports of an armed robbery in progress, but when officers arrived, the suspect was gone. Witnesses told investigators that a lone man had robbed the business at knifepoint, managing to steal a small amount of cash before police arrived,

according to a press release from the department. The case was taken over by New West’s major crime unit, and together with the forensic identification section and operational support unit, investigators were “quickly able to identify a suspect,” the release stated. “This is an excellent example of intelligence-led policing, with several of our units working together to gather the evidence necessary to identify and arrest this subject,” Staff Sgt. Paul

AT ALL TISOL LOCATIONS

Hyland said in the release. “We are extremely pleased that this individual is now safely off the streets.” Surrey resident Brent Crane, 31, was arrested on July 2 and has been charged with one count of robbery, one count of attempted theft of a vehicle under $5,000 and one count of mischief to property under $5,000. Crane, 31, remains in custody at this time and is expected in court on July 21 in New Westminster. – Cayley Dobie

Police chief: ‘You’ve got to be human’

Hosted by New Westminster Environmental Partners

For Young, who left the department after four years as the chief, he says being chief is about more than a title. “As chief, you have the prestige, the aura, the uniform and the office, and when you retire all you have is your own credibility left, your own ethics left and so to be able to say, ‘Yeah, I’ve stayed true to that,’ I found that pretty important,” Young says. For now, Jones says he’ll continue working on the succession plan in hopes of staying ahead of retirements, while caring for the department he’s been a part of for nearly three decades. “You still have to care, you still have to manage people and be respectful and all the issues that come with that, but it’s all about planning,” Jones says. twitter.com/cayleydobie

◗ continued from page 3

doesn’t mean you get the best parking spot – you do – doesn’t mean you get the best office – you do – but it’s not about that. It’s about saying you’re responsible,” Jones says. “Getting the chief’s job is more about falling into it. It’s about being the right person – the right time, the right place and the right person.” When the time does come for Jones to retire, he and his predecessors have some advice for their successor. “I often said to Dave, ‘If you want to succeed in this job as the chief, you’ve got to be adaptable, you’ve got to be understanding, you’ve got to be human,’ because that’s who you’ve got working for you is human people and they all have the same feelings that you have,” Zapotichny says.

A labour of love for New West teens

Four local youth on stage in Carousel Theatre’s Teen Shakespeare Program BY BOYD REYNOLDS CONTRIBUTOR editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Nestled in the heart of bustling Granville Island, a group of bold teenagers are set to tackle William Shakespeare. Carousel Theatre for Young People’s Teen Shakespeare Program will be presenting Love’s Labour’s Lost, opening July 25 – and four New West teens are on stage for the production. This version of the Bard’s witty comedy, full of wordplay and wayward scholars, comes with a twist – it takes place amidst the peace and love era of the 1960s. This year is the 24th season for the highly successful Teen Shakespeare Program. Its mission: to allow teenage performers a chance to enhance and develop their acting abilities. Ranging in age from 13 to 18,

things people will do for it. The key to success for the Teen Shakespeare Program has been how the actors are treated. Campbell states that from rehearsals to the final curtain call, each teen is treated like any professional actor working on stage today. In addition, the teenagers learn important voice, movement and text analysis. And they learn it from the pros. Professional actors work with the youth, giving them a very real experience in front of and behind the curtain. This year, actor, director and veteran instructor Mike Stack is the man at the helm of Love’s Labour’s Lost. He brings knowledge and experience to the participants, having worked in stage performances both in Canada and internationally. Love’s Labour’s Lost opens July 25 at 7:30 p.m., and runs until Aug. 9 at the Performance Works Outdoor Stage on Granville Island. The play is free, but seating is limited.

New West considers storage plan

For a video, scan with Layar

BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

A temporary use permit is being considered to allow the storage of new and used automobiles and trucks at 502 20th St. The city will consider a resolution to allow the site to be used for the storage of vehicles that are for sale by Westminster Toyota. The permit, which would end on Aug. 25, 2017, will be considered by city council at its Aug. 25 meeting. Coun. Bill Harper questioned what impact the proposal would have on the neighbourhood. Jim Hurst, a development planner with the city, said the business would be a “fairly light” use. “There’s 135 parking spaces

shown here,” he said of the plan. “That’s the extent of the storage.” According to Hurst, the storage would mainly be for new cars, which would either arrive on trucks or be individually driven to the site.

Panels unveiled

Former Woodlands resident Richard McDonald is grateful to the city for making interpretive panels at the Centre Block site a reality. McDonald and other members of the Centre Block Task Force were in council chamber June 16, when the city unveiled four interpretive panels that document the architecture and history of the Centre Block and the decision-making process that led to the Centre Block’s demo-

lition. Most of the Centre Block was destroyed by fire in 2008, but the tower that remained was later demolished. Faith Bodnar, executive director of Inclusion B.C., said the panels would allow the site to be a place of reflection, learning and peace for former residents. “Every word on those panels has been looked at and looked at and looked at by everyone,” said Bodnar, a member of the Woodlands Centre Block task force that reviewed the panels. The panels will go up on the former Centre Block site at Victoria Hill once the new development is completed. – Twitter/@TheresaMcManus

Say it’s your birthday: Well-known lacrosse volunteer Ken “Shaggy” Straw recently celebrated his 60th birthday.

Ken “Shaggy” Straw swept up the accolades for his 60th birthday. The longtime New Westminster resident is known for his volunteer efforts around local rinks, particularly with the Salmonbellies’ lacrosse organization. Straw turned 60 on July 11. “He will help out the equipment managers, he fills the water bottles. Part of the requirements of the home team is to supply water, ice and coolers to the visiting teams. He has to take that stuff over to the visiting team’s locker and picks it up after the game,” said Dan Richardson, president and general manager of the New Westminster Senior Salmonbellies. “Of course, his main role is floor wiper, which is kind of unique to Queen’s Park because of the wood floor. It’s sweaty and it gets very slippery.” Straw, part of the game day maintenance crew at

Queen’s Park Arena, has enjoyed many rounds of applause as he sweeps the floor and races back to the bench. “It’s a thankless job. He is always there, always at the rink,” Richardson said. “He is a tireless volunteer. He does it for the juniors, he does it for the intermediates, he does it for any of the travelling teams that come into town.” Local teams couldn’t let Straw’s 60th birthday pass without offering some recognition to the man who is well known to lacrosse fans and players. At the New Westminster Junior Salmonbellies’ game on July 9, Straw was called onto the floor under the pretense the floor needed to be wiped – only to be surprised by a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday to You. The next night, the crowd at the Senior Salmonbellies’ game sang Happy Birthday during a time-out. Both teams gave Straw a birthday cake after their games. “It’s a labour of love for him,” Richardson said.

City plants poppies to remember war BY THERESA MCMANUS REPORTER tmcmanus@royalcityrecord.com

The City of New Westminster has planted 100 poppies at city hall to mark the centennial of the First World War. The poppies, which have been planted at the cenotaph at New Westminster City Hall, are intended to pay tribute to the brave men and women who fought in the Great War and remind us of their sacrifice. The city joins other municipalities across the country in commemorating this historic anniversary with the planting of these flowers of remembrance. “We are proud of and grateful to the men and women who served during World War 1, as well as to all members of the Canadian Armed Forces who have served in protecting the freedoms we enjoy as Canadians,” Mayor Wayne Wright said in a press release. “The planting of the poppies is a wonderful idea and great way to honour our veterans.” In 1915, Canadian Lt.-Col. John McCrae was inspired to write the poem In Flanders Fields on the sighting of poppies growing on the burial grounds of soldiers who died in action. Since then, poppies have come to represent a symbol of remembrance to the fallen, and both gratitude and hope for veterans and survivors of war. The cenotaph in front of city hall is the site of a wreath-laying ceremony and two minutes of silence during the city’s annual Remembrance Day ceremony. – Follow Theresa on Twitter, @TheresaMcManus

@sk Experts ASK A VETERINARIAN is a “Cat Friendly” Veterinary Hospital

Q: What does that mean? A: A veterinary practice must be designated as “cat friendly” by the American Association

of Feline Practitioners (AAFP). A cat friendly practice is described by the AAFP as a safe, lowstress atmosphere for feline patients while providing the highest standard of care.

Glenbrook has Gold Standard accreditation, (the highest available) with the American Association of Feline Practitioners’ Cat Friendly Practice (CFP) Program. By becoming a cat friendly practice, Glenbrook has made a commitment to address these distinct special considerations of their feline patients and must adhere to a certain set of standards. Taking your cat to the veterinarian can be stressful for both you and your kitty. To your cat, the process of entering an unfamiliar carrier, a scary car ride, a strange waiting room and then examination can be very stressful. These are just some of the extra steps Glenbrook takes to ensure a less stressful visit: • Separate waiting room for cats only – Glenbrook’s waiting room is away from our dog patients and cats have special cubby where they feel safe waiting in their carrier. • Separate consultation room for cats only – Glenbrook has a less clinical consultation room for our feline patients. There is no exam table; but the room has comfortable furniture, scratching posts all for making your kitties next visit a calm and relaxing one. • Use of Feliway - Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone used by cats to mark their territory as safe and secure. Glenbrook uses this calming spray and diffusers in our waiting room and consultation room. Feliway can also be used in your cat’s carrier prior to their next trip to help calm them in the car. For more information about cat friendly practices or the use of Feliway please give us a call.

ASK A JOB SEARCH EXPERT Q: What is the hidden job market and how is it accessed? A: The hidden job market is comprised of the jobs that are

available that are not advertised anywhere. Believe it or not, the hidden job market makes up nearly 80% of available jobs!! Consider that the small number of jobs posted publicly attract the Neely Hazell most competition, making your chances of securing a position significantly smaller. “Why does this happen?” you ask. Simple, time is money. In order to post a vacancy, HR often consults with the manager of said job, ensures the job description is still accurate, then posts the vacancy on various job boards, reviews incoming applications (but only the ones loaded with enough key words to pass the applicant tracking system), creates a short list, phone screens, THEN interviews. Wouldn’t it make more sense to ask the staff if they know of anyone who would be a good fit? The answer is, of course it makes more sense! Thus, as the job seeker, your job is to expand your network by volunteering, joining clubs, or attending Meetup groups; contact employers directly by messaging them on LinkedIn, attending job fairs, or setting up informational interviews; let your friends and family know what kind of a job you’re seeking and ensure your online profiles are appropriate and professional; register for services at a WorkBC centre and get connected with a case manager for additional support; and finally, be polite, friendly, and respectful. Remember that people will hire people they know and like.

MEDICAL ESTHETICS BY KATIE We are inundated with advice on how to care for our skin. At Medical Esthetics by Katie, owner Katie Marshall not only makes your skin feel good, she addresses your individual skin care needs. With a focus on offering the best skincare possible, Katie, a Certified Medical Esthetics Practitioner, opened her spa more than six years ago as a Nail Technician and went back to school eight months later. When it comes to dry skin, she tells her clients that there is a big difference between dry and dehydrated skin, although both tend to feel the same – just plain dry. “Dry skin lacks sebum (oil), which is a natural skin condition from birth,” she explains. “Dehydrated skin lacks water and will show fine lines even more. Dryness will fluctuate with diet, stress, environment or improper use of skincare products; therefore your skin needs water-rich products.” Many of Katie’s baby boomers clientele – who are waging a war on aging - come to her for advice about sun damage such as hypo-pigmentation, loss of elasticity and collagen. “Invest in quality professional skincare and stick to the regime that your professional esthetician has outlined for you,” she advises. In addition, Katie says women may need to adjust their skincare regiment seasonally, or with age. Skin Rejuvenation Facials or Peels help correct your skin from acne, hyperpigmentation or aging to help boost your beauty routine at home. Medical Esthetics by Katie’s spa only carries the finest medical and cosmeceutical grade skincare lines. The combination of top products and the latest treatments allows guests to take a little luxury home with them from the spa. “In order to have an impact on the skin, you have to affect live tissue, which begins in the very last layer of the epidermis,” she adds. “The only way that you can reach that layer is by using professional products with a lower pH level, which are only going to be available through licensed professionals because the skin can be damaged if these products are used incorrectly.” Katie’s success stems from providing customized skincare solutions for all skin types and conditions and creating open communication with her clients in order to best assess their individual skin care needs. Medical Esthetics by Katie is located Uptown at #406-625 5th Ave. New Westminster.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN Q: A:

What is Oncology Esthetics?

Living with cancer means facing many changes, including changes to the health and vitality of your skin.

All people with cancer, undergoing treatment or KATIE MARSHALL in recovery can receive touch therapy. Oncology Esthetics is a relatively new specialty field of care, perhaps this is the first time you’ve ever heard of it, but it’s becoming more recognized and available due to the many benefits it provides. The skin, being the largest organ, is affected during cancer therapies. Most cancer therapies have a negative effect on the skin and many patients may not know how to handle these skin changes or where to turn for help. Understanding how to safely and effectively treat the skin, particularly when it is challenged by cancer is paramount to the psychological and physical care of the client. I had the pleasure of becoming a Certified Oncology Esthetician last month. I underwent extensive training in understanding how cancer and therapy treatments affect the body at the dermal and lymphatic level. The program explored the side effects of cancer therapies, how those are further compounded by various medications and the importance of proper sanitation to support weakened immune systems. Certification also required me to learn how to perform gentle, yet effective protocols using compatible skin care ingredients.

ASK A DESIGNER Q: A:

Are Custom Kitchen Cabinets Worth the Price Difference? Saving Money on the Purchase Side of the Equation May Cost You Later

• Plywood Versus Particle Board Custom cabinets are made from three-quarter-inch-thick real wood plywood. Production cabinets are made from three-quarter-inch particleboard, a mixture of glue and sawdust. Over time a door flexed too hard in a custom cabinet will stay in place as the door hinges are attached to solid plywood. With particleboard, the hinge will tear out usually making an indentation that cannot be repaired. Particleboard shelves will sag in a few years from the weight . Plywood shelves with a good edge “nosing” can withstand the structural pressure without sagging indefinitely. Product is also made locally and is Canadian. • Fasteners A good custom cabinetmaker not only uses better fasteners such as 1-1/4” staples, but also glues every joint. He uses screws to attach the back, or stiffen partitions, where needed. Production cabinets are engineered to minimal strength standards. • The Finish Mass produced cabinets have only two to four mills of actual material on the surface (a mil is one ten-thousandth of an inch), By comparison, custom cabinets have a total finish thickness of eight to ten mils. Custom cabinets look better when first installed but the practical part is apparent a few years down the road. When the homeowner decides to sell his house, say in five, ten, or twenty years, custom cabinets will still look like new installation and therefore retain their value. • Knowledge If a question arises, you can “ask the expert” when a cabinetmaker is installing his own work. Even in the better home improvement stores, finding a real person who genuinely knows the answer to your question , from first-hand experience is difficult. Conclusion Go ahead and shop the home improvement and do it yourself store first, then talk to Design With Confidence for an estimate because when it comes to beauty, utility, and value in your home, there’s no comparison.

ASK A TRAVEL AGENT Q: Going to Europe? Organized tour versus Independent travel?

A: For first time travelers to Europe, I recommend taking an organized coach

tour for many reasons: • Meet and greet assistance upon arrival at your European airport. Your tour directors normally speak at least 2 languages or more. • Leave the driving and navigating to your local driver so just sit back, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds. • You will meet a lot of interesting people during your entire tour and perhaps make new friends. • You have expert guides that give you local tours around the city you are visiting. • You are guaranteed to see all the major attractions every city has to offer. • Most of your meals are provided (usually breakfast and dinner). • Your accommodations and transportation are all prepaid before you even leave Canada. Choosing which tour to book is not an easy task. I recommend browsing through a brochure and looking at different itineraries. Remember, you cannot see all of Europe in 2 weeks. Pick the cities that you’ve always wanted to see. Choose the pace that’s right for you. A good pace would allow you at least two nights in every major city and one night in a smaller town. Consider the time difference between Canada and Europe, so you might consider arriving a day or two earlier before your actual tour begins. For any seasoned traveler, travelling independently brings many rewards. There are many ways to travel independently and I recommend setting up a structured flow to your itinerary especially if you have limited time. In order to save time, pre-book all your hotels and transportations whenever possible. The rest of the time will be yours to enjoy the sights and do as many or as little as you want. If you are planning on visiting a very popular attraction, pre-book your tickets to avoid the long line-ups at the entrance. Moreover, seek the assistance of a travel professional who will give you expert advise on what’s best suited to your needs and your budget. Your vacation starts here!

ASK A COUNSELLOR Q: I have been told by some of my friends that I am too nice. I have noticed that they usually pick what movie we are going to see, where we are going to eat out and what we might do for fun. I feel angry at myself sometimes about this since I don’t usually give my opinion but I don’t know what to do, can you help me? A: This is called unassertiveness. Mary Longworth This behaviour is learned in childhood. We either learn to stand up for our self or we don’t. Clients of all ages struggle with lack of assertiveness. But the good news is that it is a skill that can be learned. This skill can be taught in one or two appointments with a questionnaire that we work on together. The second part of the work that clients do with me is to look at what is making it hard for them to act assertively. But...then the real work starts in your life where you take the risk to be truthful, to disagree or to say what you really think. Once you do this then your anger will be gone and you will be much happier.

◗ FILL IN THE BLANKS

‘Princess and aspiring rockstar’

e have started a new Fill in the Blanks series, which will introduce Record readers to a variety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainment community. Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, “filling in the blanks” to let us know about themselves. This week, we feature Andie Lloyd. 1. I am a teenage Canadian girl living in New Westminster, but also a painter, musician, stage manager, activist, (2014 Hyack Ambassador) Princess and aspiring rockstar. 2. I spend my time playing or listening to music, hanging out with my awesome friends, and keeping busy in the local theatre community. 3. Right now I am working on becoming a swimming teacher and lifeguard, and organizing activities for the students at the 2014 NWSS Summer Band Camp. 4. The book on my bedside table right now is Diarios De Motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries) by Che Guvera. 5. Three songs you’ll find on my IPod playlist are The Waiting by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Spadina Bus by The Shuffle Demons and B.C. Orienteering by Said The Whale. 6. One work of art that inspires

me is a small painting of the Massey Theatre by Omanie Elias, because she was able to capture the pure, indescribable magic of the theatre in a way only an artist could. 7. One artist who inspires me is Kelly Proznick, my choir teacher, because when she is faced with adversity, she is strong and confident. She is an inspiration to all of her students and is a loving, supportive and energetic woman. She is the kind of person I one day hope to become. 8. My idea of a perfect day is one that starts early with music, ends late in the theatre, and is staggered with good food, classes or adventures with my friends, and beautiful weather (ideal for late-night stargazing). 9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is (vegetarian) butter chicken with bottled root beer and black cherry ice cream. 10. My guilty pleasure is sleeping in past 9 a.m. 11. My favourite vacation spot is Quadra Island, B.C. My family owns a little yellow house overlooking the ocean. 12. My favourite thing about New Westminster is the Massey Theatre and the NWSS arts department. 13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, I would choose John Green.

Larry Wright/THE RECORD

Meet Andie: Andie Lloyd at the Massey Theatre. Andie is an NWSS student, 2014 Hyack Ambassador Princess, painter, musician and stage manager – and the subject of this week’s Fill in the Blanks. 14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose New York City in the 1940s (jazz music!). 15. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be time travel.

And finally … 16. If people want to find out more about me, they can follow me on Instagram @thosedamntorpedoes, check out The Hyack Festival Association Events, or any future NWSS

Jr. ’Bellies sweep Islanders BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

New Westminster booked its ticket back to the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League championship final. The junior A Salmonbellies swept the Delta Islanders, winning 17-12 at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday to take the best-of-five semifinal playoff series in straight games. Four New Westminster players put up huge numbers, leading all scorers with eight points apiece in the series clincher. Johnny Pearson led all scorers with five goals and three assists, while Brett Dobray, who was picked up at the trade deadline from Langley, added four goals and four helpers. Connor Robinson and Anthony Malcom both collected a goal and a game-high seven assists apiece. Game 3 was similar to the two earlier games with Delta giving almost as good as it got on the scoresheet. The Islanders opened the contest with a 2-0 lead and forced the home team to play catchup until Dobray scored his first hat trick of the series in a two-minute span late in the first period. From that point on New Westminster never trailed, building on leads of five goals in the second
