Women: A growing force in the city Three New Westminster female police ofﬁcers tell us what it’s like

t’s been more than a century since women managed to break into the ranks of policing in B.C. In 1912 female officers wore long heavy skirts, carried purses and were not allowed weapons of any sort. Equal pay, let alone equal anything, was unimaginable at that time. A lot has changed since then. Nowadays, more women are considering policing as a career choice, and female CAYLEY DOBIE officers on the beat are standard. According to a 2013 report by the RCMP, of the nearly 20,000 regular members across the country, 20 per cent are women. Within the New Westminster Police Department, a police service considerably smaller in composition than the RCMP, women make up about 23 per cent of officers. Sgt. Diana McDaniel, one of the department’s more senior female members, says that number has been on a steady climb since she joined the force in 1997. This growing number of female officers, plus the nearly fifty-fifty split seen entering the recruitment process, mean’s women have become an integral part of the police department. The Record’s crime reporter Cayley Dobie recently sat down with three female officers of varying ranks and experience levels to hear from them about being both a woman and police officer in New Westminster – the challenges, the triumphs

Driver gets five-year suspension for woman’s death BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A $2,000 fine and five-year driving prohibition – that’s the sentence handed down to the driver who struck and killed Gemma Snowball last year.

Kelowna resident Ryan Follack appeared in court on Tuesday for his sentencing hearing following his arrest on Aug. 11, after he failed to appear on the scheduled date of sentencing, Aug. 8, according to a press release from the New Westminster police.

Follack’s sentencing is the final step in a lengthy case that began back in March of 2013 when Snowball, a deli counter employee at the old Royal City Centre Safeway, was struck while crossing at Sixth Avenue and Sixth Street late one rainy night.

The 25-year-old New Westminster resident, originally from Perth, Australia, sustained severe injuries and died in hospital on March 13, two days after the collision, as The Record previously reported. Following an investigation by the New ◗Sentence Page 4

On the beat: Female ofﬁcers speak out been made to feel any different as a police officer because I’m a female in this department. Yes, there may have been a boys’ club mentality back in the day, but I have never experienced it. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences here. When I graduated Block 2 and my first patrol watch, I was the only female on that watch, and again they made me feel totally welcome, totally supported. In terms of if I was treated any differently by anybody, I think I would see more of the sensitive calls that were dispatched. Perhaps, if somebody came in and they wanted to speak with a female, I was the default female. … Right off the bat it gave me a lot of experience dealing with sensitive calls and victims who have variant levels of distress that maybe they may not be overly comfortable talking about. In terms of the guys on my squad, they were fantastic, they were great, they welcomed me. I always felt like they had my back, always, and not just because I was a female but because I was part of the squad.

it offered a team environment, and you could really do a lot of good out in the public as far as affecting people’s lives in a good way. Const. Lara Dewitt: My first exposure to policing was my neighbour was a sergeant here in New West and my best friend’s grandfather was a chief here in New West. … They would always talk about, specifically the sergeant, would talk about how much fun he would have at work. Growing up, it always kind of stayed in the back of my mind as an option. There are two things that I really love or that really intrigued me. One was I genuinely really like to help people, and the other was, I genuinely like to catch bad guys. That’s kind of how it evolved. I was super active my whole life, as well, so I like the idea of having a job where I’m actually out doing things and not sitting at a desk, being out walking around or driving around, just having fun at work. Const. Shannon McLeod: My parents are both lawyers and they definitely fostered that kind of community service type atmosphere. You know, you volunteer your time, you want to help your community, you want to do good work in it and make a positive impact. So, yeah, policing was just the right fit. CD: Prior to joining the force, were you worried about problems that could arise because you’re a woman? SM: I don’t think so, and I think it’s just because my dad is a prosecutor. I had exposure to different police forces in Maple Ridge and Surrey, and I think it just became one of those things that once you get to know certain officers, you realize these are strong women. These are strong people in general, and I don’t think anyone would put up with it. We’re all kind of from the same cloth. CD: Were there any challenges specific to being a woman on the force? DM: I don’t think that there are any different challenges than a male officer would have faced. Situations of force that you have to use, you get training in that, but let’s say you might not have a lot of experience. I hadn’t been in a lot of fights before I started this job, … and you’re expected to be that person to protect other people, and you have to get into fights, you have to use force in some situations and developing a comfort level through training

and all that would have been a bit of a challenge because it was something completely different than I’d ever experienced before. CD: Any challenges that both men and women face? DM: I think challenges that men and women both have are balancing home life with work. … It’s a lot easier to be on call or be called out or be on shifts when you don’t have children. When children come, obviously your priorities change and you have to adjust, and that always presents its challenges, but not so much on the job. CD: Do you think the idea that policing is a “boys’ club” is true? DM: I do not see it as a boys’ club, and when I started in 1997 that was not my experience at all. …There were women before me who blazed that trail far before we came into it. There was another woman in my academy with me, and I’d say about 10 or 11 per cent women back then, but that’s just a guess – certainly not

CD: Do you feel fortunate you didn’t have to fight for your right to be part of the force? DM: I think it would have been difficult because it is a maledominated profession, that it would have been difficult to be the only female on a shift. I was not the only female. If anything, I was on shifts where there were more women actually, than men at times, on ‘A’ watch – more when I was a sergeant though than when I first started. What was funny about that was that people would notice, and I had never noticed, and yet they go, ‘Oh look at how many women there are,’ and I’d say, ‘Yes, I guess there is,’ but it was nothing I even thought about – we were just police officers. CD: Do you ever feel you’re being treated differently because you’re a woman? LD: First of all, I have never

SM: I think everyone really appreciates when they start seeing diversity on their squads just because of the diversity of the calls we get. Once it’s reflected in your teammates, it just means you have more experience and knowledge to draw from. Whatever kind of background you come from, whether you’re female or you’re from a racial minority or any of those kinds of diversities, people really appreciate it. It makes the job a lot easier when you have someone with different skill sets, whether you’re more sensitive to certain calls and you can find yourself handling them and just build a rapport better with certain communities, it’s just great, awesome to have. CD: Do you think having more female officers will change the way policing is done? DM: Shannon touched upon diversity and I think when you’re hiring people from different backgrounds, whether it be gender or anything, it’s going to bring different skills but we’re all trained the same. We all learn the same skills; we all have our different strengths and weaknesses. This interview has been condensed. To read the full version, go to www.royalcityrecord.com.

Cote picks his co-chairs in bid for mayor’s seat BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

Mayoral candidate Jonathan Cote has the backing of two political forces in New Westminster in his bid for the mayor’s seat. Coun. Bill Harper, a nine-year veteran on city council, and board of education chair Jonina Campbell will be the co-chairs for his campaign to lead the city. “I think Jonathan is going to make a great mayor,” Campbell told The Record. “I think he has the experience of being on city council, but he also brings new ideas and a lot of strong ideas around policy and moving the city forward. I think he’s the way forward for New Westminster.” The Cote campaign co-chairs will serve as ambassadors, advise the campaign on

key issues, and help engage voters all across New Westminster to support Cote’s mayoral run, according to a media release. “I am delighted to have such talented individuals stepping up to take a leadership role in my mayoral campaign. I believe Jonina and Bill’s varied backgrounds and experience will prove to be invaluable for the team,” Cote said in the release. “Jonathan has been a leader in changing New Westminster into a thriving urban community,” Harper said in the release. “He understands how cities work and cares deeply about New Westminster. I am looking forward to working on his team.” The next municipal election will be held on Nov. 15. The term for city councillors and school trustees runs for four years. Campbell confirmed that she will seek reelection to the school board this fall.

Westminster police’s traffic section, investigators determined the driver of the vehicle that struck Snowball had in fact made an illegal left turn when he hit her. Charges were submitted to Crown counsel for approval in December 2013 and nearly one year to the day, Crown charged 29-year-old Follack with one count of

driving without due care and attention, and one count of driving without reasonable consideration for others. In April, Follack pled guilty to driving without due care. “Our thoughts go out to the Snowball family at this time,” Chief Const. Dave Jones said in a press release. “While nothing can bring

Gemma back, we hope that the conclusion of these legal proceedings will provide her family with some measure of closure as they continue to deal with the tragic loss of this young woman in the prime of her life.” Follack appeared in court Wednesday to address his failure to appear at the original sentencing hearing last week.

Crash: A man is in critical condition after suffering a medical emergency while driving along 10th Avenue Tuesday. The car crashed into a tree and then caught on fire.

Crash victim in hospital BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com

A man is in critical condition in hospital after he crashed his car into a tree along 10th Avenue Tuesday afternoon. At about 3:40 p.m. on Aug. 12, patrol officers were called to the 200 block of East 10th Avenue between Massey and Chilliwack streets following reports a car had crashed and was on fire, stated a press release from New West police. The driver of the vehicle, a 44-year-old man from Delta, was found unresponsive and taken to hospital where he remains at this time in critical condition, the release

added. According to investigators, the car was heading east on 10th Avenue when the driver “suffered a serious medical issue, which resulted in the loss of control of the vehicle.” The car then veered off the road where it struck a tree and caught on fire. New Westminster’s collision analysis and reconstruction team were called to the scene and closed the street to traffic for several hours while they investigated the incident. The crash is still under investigation, but officers believe the medical emergency caused the crash and that no other vehicles were involved.

That’s a fancy way of saying “making sure vulnerable kids don’t fall through cracks.” There’s simply no doubt that early and comprehensive support for mental health issues – be it anxiety, depression or something else – can have a profound and long-term impact on a child’s life and on the child’s entire family.

It may be hard to imagine the positive domino effect that’s created when a family gets the support it needs in a critical time … but it’s truly heartbreaking to think of the same domino effect when the family doesn’t get that help at all.

Dear Editor:

Antique Alley Movie Props is alive and well on Front Street. New Westminster has changed a lot in the 13 years since we first set up shop. Unlike the old vision of downtown as a historic landmark populated by mom-and-pop businesses, the new vision is best exemplified by a remark I overheard a realtor make to a potential investor: “It will be the next Manhattan.” The “movers and shakers” in our town at the turn of this century were predicting the Discovery Centre would be the third most popular tourist destination in the GVRD; just behind Granville Island and Science World. I’ve been to Granville Island 100-plus times; Science World over 50. I walk by the Fraser River Discovery Centre twice a week – it

never entered my mind to go inside. I don’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings – but I can’t imagine too many tourists fly out of their way to see the world’s largest tin soldier. Nor does the old wharfside vision from the 1990s, the first declaration of reconnecting the city to our waterfront history cut it. By tearing down the parkade we will connect our town to a truck bypass and the train tracks. (They, as they have repeatedly said: “Ain’t going anywhere,” but then who’s listening?) What about a new vision. The world is a bustle lately with tales of “repurposed parkades” turned into everything from antique markets, art galleries, high-end condos, night clubs, organic gardens, homeless shelters. One of our customer’s, Bob Winstanely, suggested a few thousand dollars spent on glass would turn the second floor of the parkade into a vibrant year round farmers’ market. A flea

market? A night market? (Think Pike Place Market in Seattle). Extend the waterfront park onto the roof of the parkade? Give some young hipsters (I’m sure Vancity bank would bankroll them) a chance to build an organic rooftop garden – with a gourmet restaurant. New West could become a biophilic city like Singapore, by spending some of the $1.8 million budgeted to tear the parkade down on green and living walls a la Patric Blanc. In October, when the quotes come in from the men with the wrecking balls, I hope the mayor and town council have the courage to throw the project in the waste basket and put out a call for young visionaries to give the parkade a makeover. An interesting project like that might put New West on every tourist’s map. And if not, well, I hope our “Manhattan Project” isn’t as devastating as the one that created the nuclear bomb.

Loud motorbikes got to go Dear Editor:

I am writing about an ongoing problem

particularly in the uptown area of New Westminster. It is concerning the extremely loud pipes on motorbikes and some cars. This is a chronic problem, and I have seen a letter to the editor of this paper recently concerning it. I did email the mayor of New Westminster explaining the problem and received a reply stating that my complaint would be forwarded to the police. At this time, the problem still exists, and indeed has become worse and trying to get any sleep late at night is next to impossible. The racing around, particularly on Sixth Street north of Sixth Avenue is the worst area and often goes on sometimes up to 4 a.m. or later. Sixth Street has become a racetrack for this insanity. It appears that the police have no intention of dealing with this matter, although I understand that other municipalities are taking action to minimize the problem. What is the problem with New Westminster? I won’t bother contacting city hall again or calling the police as I don’t believe there is any interest in dealing with the problem. As such, I have decided to move to another jurisdiction where there is some political will to resolve issues, something that New Westminster sadly lacks. Ian Robertson, New Westminster

Spending: Tech projects costing millions ◗ continued from page 6

Unfortunately for taxpayers, these are just part of a long line of provincial government computer system failures. In May, The Vancouver Sun discovered that taxpayers were spending half-a-million dollars a year to fly in and house troubleshooters to try and keep the province’s $182 million, glitch-ridden Integrated Case Management system running. This was the same system that crashed for more than a week this spring. ICBC is currently sending out cheques to 240,000 customers who overpaid

for auto insurance because of incorrect vehicle descriptions in their new computer system. There’s more. The budget for the E-Health system ballooned from $30 million to $138 million, according to the NDP. The $89 million BCeSIS system, used to manage student records, was scrapped after years of complaints. Last year, B.C. Auditor General John Doyle ripped the security of the Province’s JUSTIN system, which holds details of more than a million police investigations. Doyle gave 100 recommendations to fix the system, noting,

“the information … is not adequately protected from internal or external threats.” If these computer projects were new schools, highways, stadiums or fast ferries, government would be excoriated for not managing the projects efficiently. Technology should be treated no differently – taxpayers deserve to know why these projects are going over budget, why they are failing and precisely what government plans to do about it. ! Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Group cuts local mental health program for families cnaylor@royalcityrecord.com

A provincial non-profit that supports families of kids with mental health challenges has had to pull the plug on its parent support program in New Westminster and Burnaby because of a lack of funding. The F.O.R.C.E. Society for Kids’ Mental Health (FORCE), a West Vancouver-based organization, has funded a Parent in Residence, Danielle Dionne, in Burnaby and

New West for a year and a half. Her role has been to empower parents of children and youth who struggle with mental health issues and to help them navigate the child and youth mental health system. “Here’s an example,” director Christie Durnin told The Record. “You’re a parent and you have a child who has anxiety or has bi-polar, and you’ve gone to see your family doctor, and you’re on a waitlist now to see a cli-

nician, and you aren’t sure what to do in the meantime or where to begin.” FORCE Parents in Residence – all of whom have “been there” when it comes to child and youth mental health struggles – can also sit in on school meetings. “The system is certainly not very navigation friendly,” said FORCE founder Keli Anderson, who found school meetings one of the toughest parts of helping her own child manage mental health problems. “It’s very tough to navigate,

and just to have somebody else with you can just be another set of ears even, to listen and support some questions that you might have wanted to ask but you don’t know how to ask or you’re forgetting to ask.” The FORCE has had funding from the Ministry of Children and Family Development for Parents in Residence in a number of B.C. communities, including Coquitlam, but the organization has never been able to secure funding for Burnaby and New Westminster.

City seniors will need doctors’ notes to get mail delivered BY JACOB ZINN REPORTER jzinn@royalcityrecord.com

Many seniors have indicated to Canada Post that they will be physically unable to pick up their mail from community mailboxes as door-to-door service is phased out over the next five years. Now the postal authority wants them to prove it. In a mailout questionnaire, Canada Post is requiring seniors to provide them with medical information to determine if they are eligible for athome mail delivery. But New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr is anxious to know how many seniors will actually receive the service and how long it will last. “There are numerous seniors living in New Westminster and I’m sure many of them have difficul-

ty getting to the post office boxes,” said Puchmayr, questioning the permanence of the provision. “Is this something that’s going to be in place continuously?” Puchmayr said he feels the elimination of doorto-door mail service is wrong, echoing previous statements from New West city council. The decision by Canada Post to eliminate home delivery is an effort to save money, but he noted there are options to subsidize the national service. He suggested postal banking, a system implemented in other countries in which the post office offers financial services that help fund mail delivery. “To create a banking system through our postal service would more than counter the costs of the delivery of that service,” he

said. “It’s a profitable service – the stamps have just skyrocketed in price.” Puchmayr added that he fears that getting rid of the federal government’s athome mail service will create more expensive options from private companies. “I sense that there will be companies waiting in the wings for this to sort of play itself out, and they’ll start to provide that service at a huge cost to our seniors and our shut-ins so that they can get their mail delivered to their homes,” he said. “I just fear that it’s another step in the privatization of mail service.” Door-to-door delivery will be nixed in 11 com-

munities across Canada this fall, including parts of Calgary, Halifax and Ottawa. No B.C. neighbourhoods are among those 11 affected communities. The switch to community mailboxes is scheduled for completion by 2019.

tion points to a provincewide problem with child and youth mental health funding, which she called “deeply inadequate.” “If, at a provincial level, you don’t have funds that go down to regions and communities, they’re impacted,” she said. “I think there’s funding issues across the board around child and youth mental health.” For more information about contacting a FORCE Parent in Residence, phone 855-887-8004 or visit forcesociety.com.

“We had been able to have our Parent in Residence from another community cover off some of Burnaby and New West,” Anderson said, “but it wasn’t something that could be sustained without some supported funding.” Local parents can still access a Parent in Residence by calling the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, but Anderson said it’s not the same as having a parent on the ground in the community. She said the situa-

Taking on a challenge while grieving for dad BY TEREZA VERENCA REPORTER editorial@royalcityrecord.com

Nov. 16, 2013. It’s a day Lesley Hruby said she will never forget. Sitting at her ailing father’s bedside, she said goodbye as he slipped away. “It was real quick. I knew at that time pancreatic cancer was a real threat to us,” the New Westminster resident said. Hruby’s father, Leslie Armstrong - yes, she was named after him - had become the third family member to die of the illness, following her grandmother and aunt.

“It’s scary, you know, because it is hereditary.

and had even fallen a few times. “These were signs they didn’t recognize until they ran tests later and found cancer in the liver, too,” she said. After nearly a twomonth battle with the insurance company, Hruby was finally able to get her dad back on Canadian soil. He unfortunately passed away three days after they landed. But the possibility of a

future diagnosis for her or her family has not brought her spirits down. In fact, the 50-year-old has signed up to take part in the B.C. Cancer Foundation’s Concrete Hero Aug. 17. Now in its second year, the urban obstacle challenge is a nine-kilometre trek through downtown Vancouver that sees participants leaping over parked cars, crawling through sand and traversing muddy water. “I’m a bit terrified, but

Get your flip flops on Get out your beach blanket and head on down to the river this weekend. The city is opening its urban “beach” at downtown’s Westminster Pier Park today. The beach is located on the eastern section of the park, known as the timber wharf. Renderings of the plan for the timber wharf show a sandy area that includes beach umbrellas – though beachgoers will have to wait for the hammocks and umbrellas as they’re still being made and will be installed at a later date, says Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks, culture and recreation. But locals will still get a chance to feel the sand in their toes at the permanent installation. – Niki Hope

I’ve been training hard,” Hruby said. “I know I will do it even if I have to force my way through.” Hruby added regardless of the outcome, simply wearing the colour purple and creating public awareness is enough for her. “We really want to get the word out there that this is one of the most under-funded types of cancers.” The event raised more than $400,000 last year and had more than 1,000 peo-

ple registered. Originally having set a goal of $400, Hruby has surpassed it and has personally collected more than $900. “When I signed up as part of Team Adrenaline, I had no idea Concrete Hero brought awareness to pancreatic cancer. That’s unheard of. You hear a lot about breast and prostate cancer. We need to funnel a bit of money to this cause so people at least have a fighting chance.” Part of the money raised

goes to Pancreas Centre B.C., a research partnership between the B.C. Cancer Agency, Vancouver Coastal Health and the University of British Columbia. Established in 2012, the research team has been examining what causes this form of cancer and how to detect it. Hruby admitted her family is on high alert for symptoms and is currently taking part in local studies that look for early warning signs. But despite the

whirlwind of events last year, this mother-of-two continues to believe her dad had a specific purpose. Shortly after Armstrong’s funeral, her mom Betty was going through his bedside table and came across his landed immigrant papers. “He arrived in North Vancouver Nov. 16, 1974. He died at Lions Gate Hospital exactly 39 years later. His calling was to bring our family over.”

City shop shows its true colours BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

It’s a whimsical message with a playful image, but it holds a lot of meaning to the owners of Brick & Mortar Living in New Westminster. The store is participating in Bosa’s Pride window display competition as a part of New West Pride. The window display initiative calls for local businesses to show their pride by decorating their windows. For their contribution, owners Julia Dewhurst and Emma Nash posted a cartoon character with rainbows beaming from its eyes on the front window of their downtown store, with the statement: “Sometimes the world is so beautiful I have to shoot rainbows out of my eyes.” The window design is based on one of the images on a card by Choplogik, which they sell in the store. Brick & Mortar is known for having eye-catching window displays, so the owners jumped at the chance to take part in the Pride contest. They opted to keep the window display simple for the Pride contest. “It’s more about making an impactful statement,” Dewhurst explains. They liked the image because it captures the beauty of our differences, she says. Dewhurst loves that the city is hosting Pride events this month to support the local lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community. As a part of Pride events, the winner of the window display contest will be announced on Saturday, Aug. 16. A $500 prize is up for grabs. If Brick & Mortar wins, Dewhurst says, they plan to donate the money to New

Eva’s dad surpasses fundraising goal BY NIKI HOPE REPORTER

nhope@royalcityrecord.com

The father of a 25-year-old New Westminster woman who garnered international attention for her battle with Cystic Fibrosis managed to wheel past

his $65,000 fundraising goal in a recent cross-province bike ride. Bill Markvoort pedaled his way from the coast of British Columbia to the Rocky Mountains of Banff as a part of the 1,200kilometre GearUp4CF fundraiser in memory of his daughter, Eva

Markvoort, who he lost to the fatal genetic disease four years ago. Eva, a charismatic theatre student, wrote a blog, called 65_ RedRoses, chronicling her fight against the disease and her quest for a lung transplant. She was also featured in an acclaimed documentary by the same name. The phrase 65 Roses is significant in the CF community – it’s how some young children pronounce cystic fibrosis. Bill turned 65 this year and decided to honour the noteworthy birthday and make it his fundraising goal.

Bill managed to surpass his goal, raising a whopping $77,000 (330-plus individuals donated). The entire GearUp fundraiser was the most-successful year yet – bringing in more than $370,000 to help fight cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects the lungs most critically. The ride, from June 21 to 29, went “extremely well,” for Bill, minus a couple of rough days in the rain. “You are almost disappointed when it’s over,” said Bill, who enjoyed the camaraderie he found with the other riders. Some of the people Bill rode

with are CF survivors, which he said was “emotional” for him. There were also moments of remembering Eva. She was there at the finish line in Banff, cheering Bill on when he rode in 2008. “I wish she had gotten a good set of lungs and been able to ride,” Bill said. Still, he found comfort in knowing that he and his wife, Janet Brine, are carrying on their daughter’s legacy. “I think she’d be pretty proud of her mom and dad,” he said. It’s not too late to donate – visit 65for65roses.blogspot.ca.

A glimpse into colony farming and food OUR PAST

ARCHIE & DALE MILLER

he simple everyday things of life from New Westminster’s early years often draw attention and inquiries during talks and tours. One of the most basic is food, not just those items imported to the early town and colony, but the crops and other agricultural goods that were available locally. One fascinating example comes from July 1868 as plans were being laid in for a fall exhibition in early October. The committee organizing the event put the necessary information in the paper: (we) “submit the following List of Articles for which prizes will be given.” “It is desirable that the exhibition is rendered as complete and attractive as possible, any products of the Colony may be exhibited in quantities smaller than those prescribed in the list. Such articles will be entitled to Honourable Mention if judged worthy.” And so the extensive list appeared in the local paper showing

cereals, roots and vegetables, fruit, horticultural, dairy produce, fish and miscellaneous. The following are selected from the overall lists and show clearly the wide range of local goods available to those living here in the late 1860s. As you will see, we would be quite at home with these items today. A point to remember is that there were often multiple varieties of individual commodities. Cereals: wheat, oats, barley, Indian corn, buckwheat, peas, beans, rye, clover seed, Timothy seed, and rye grass. Roots and vegetables: potatoes (white, kidneys, blue, largest), turnips, carrots, parsnips, cabbage and mangold wurzel. The latter is a root crop known by many names, often grown for livestock. Horticultural: peas (in pods), beans, tomatoes, onions, beets, pumpkins, squash, vegetable marrow, melons, cucumbers, cabbages, cauliflower, kale, celery and also in this category were hops, tobacco, and flowers. Fruits: apples, pears, plums, peaches, quinces, and grapes. Dairy produce: butter, cheese, eggs, fowl, ducks, geese, and turkeys. Fish: salmon (spring, sockeye, preserved in tin or wood), codfish (dried),

oolichan (dried, pickled), caviar, fish oils, and isinglass. The latter is a product from the dried swim bladders of fish and had a number of uses. Miscellaneous: lard, bacon, ham, pickles, jams, jellies, preserves, wines, spirits, ale, beer, cider, and flax. Also in this category were mineral specimens, fancy needlework, Indian manufactures, curiosities, relics, and turpentine. This is a fairly allencompassing list of items, many food stuffs that were to be found in the stores and markets of early New Westminster. Reading through the lists you will note a number of things not included in the exhibition such as fresh meats and milk, though these do appear in other exhibitions. We also find references at other times of the year to things like tobacco and alcohol-related commodities. The town in 1868 was well stocked with locally produced food items as well as imported products available in the stores. Eating in New Westminster 146 years ago would have been much like today, but much simpler.

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q. How to Choose Appliances For Your Kitchen Reno? A. Appliances are the workhorses of your kitchen. Together, they

will add up to about nine percent of your kitchen budget. This figure is surprisingly low, considering the technological advances and energy efficiencies today’s appliances offer. While features and performance are obviously the most important considerations in choosing appliances, how they’ll look in your kitchen probably matters to you, too.

is a “Cat Friendly” Veterinary Hospital

Q: My dogs have started smelling recently.

White appliances are still the classic favorite, followed by black. Stainless steel, with its professional look, continues to grow in popularity. If you a simple Shaker-style space or a luxurious Italian villa setting, Michelle Bernier covet however, you may want to hide the fridge and dishwasher out of sight. Cabinet manufacturers offer coordinated cabinet fronts that adhere easily and provide a custom-designed look. For a traditional, low-tech look, you can opt for small-appliance depots in countertop-height cabinets or even a specially designed under-counter oven.

A: Has your dog started smelling like… a dog?.

1. Bathe your dog. An unkempt coat can trap dirt and other unpleasant odours. If you are unable to give your dog a bath yourself, give our experienced groomers at the pet spa a call at (604) 526-1048. There are now many other great alternatives, such as dry shampoo, foaming shampoo or wet wipes (that do not require any rinsing) that can help in a pinch. 2. Keep your dogs as dry as possible. After being out in the water in the warmer weather, make sure to dry your dog thoroughly with a towel – paying special attention to places like the underbelly and other places where odour loves to hide - like between toes and under arms. 3. Wash your dog’s collar. Give your pet’s collar(s) a good cleaning in some detergent and hot water. Depending on the fabric, some collars can be thrown in the washing machine. Make sure the collar is completely dry before putting it back on.

Buying the right refrigerator is vitally important. Not only is refrigerator responsible for preventing your food from spoiling, it is also one of the few appliances in your home that runs continuously all the time.

4. Wash your dog’s bedding. There’s no sense in having lovely smelling, clean doggies if they are snuggling in a dirty bed. Dirty dog beds and blankets are homes to bacteria-causing odours that will cling to your dog. This goes the same for any other areas your doggy loves to curl up on, such as couches, chairs and your bed.

Dishwashers can range from elegant high-end models to small, counter-top units. Choosing the right dishwasher will depend on the features you want and the look of your kitchen

5. Vacuum the floors. Dirty carpets frequented by your pets can be just as dirty as your pet’s bedding and be harbouring bacteria-causing odours.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q: A:

What actually causes Wrinkles?

Damage occurs to the collagen and elastin fibers in the reticular dermis over time. Expression lines are caused by a gradual “denting” KATIE MARSHALL of these fibers from repeated facial movement. Just like a piece of metal that is bent multiple times, the fibers become weaker and thinner in the area of the constant bend. If you carefully examine the tissue of sun-damaged skin, you will find a disorganized mess in the reticular dermis. Both collagen and elastin fibers are damaged from cumulative sun exposure. Little by little, these fibers are damaged until they cannot function in their intended capacity. This damage results in both skin wrinkling medically known as rhytides and skin sagging known as elastosis. #406-625-5 AVE. NEW WESTMINSTER, BC. TH

ASK A COUNSELLOR

PLEASE NOTE: some odour is perfectly normal but if your dog’s odour worsens and persists, you may want to speak to your veterinarian. Skin problems, dental/teeth issues, infected ears and anal glands could be the culprit of your smelly pup and your veterinarian can help you address the root of the problem.

UV Protection

604-526-1092

We all know about the damage that ultraviolet (UV) radiation can do to our skin but most people do not realize it is just as harmful to their eyes. Short term excessive exposure can lead to photokeratitis which is like a sunburn on our eyes. Long term exposure can lead to cataracts and eyelid skin cancers, as well as contribute to the development of macular degeneration. Have you ever had a sunburn after a day of skiing even on a cloudy winter day? Regardless of the season, total outdoor ocular UV exposure is nearly the same all year round. Even on cloudy days, up to 90% of UV rays are able to penetrate the atmosphere and reflect off the clouds. UV rays can also reflect off water, snow, and pavement, intensifying the risk of damage. Unlike our skin, our eyes are actually most exposed to UV radiation in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is closer to eye level. UV radiation does not discriminate either; it is harmful to everyone’s eyes regardless of gender and ethnicity. Did you know that children are significantly more vulnerable to UV damage than adults? Over 50% of lifetime sun exposure occurs before the age of 18 since children tend to spend more time outdoors than the average adult. This is worrisome since the lenses in children’s eyes are clearer than adults’ and their pupils are larger, resulting in more UV exposure to the internal structures of the eyes. In fact, up to 80% of all the ocular UV damage may well happen before the age of 18. Unfortunately, this damage is cumulative and mostly irreversible. It is important to start protecting your eyes from a young age to prevent complications later in life. Rule of thumb: Any time you apply sunscreen, remember to also put on your sunglasses. When shopping for sunglasses, it is important to find a pair that fits well and blocks 100% of all UV radiation. Not all sunglasses provide equal UV protection. In fact, the colour of the lenses has nothing to do with blocking UV. It is the lens material and/or surface treatment s that matters. Be aware of cheap quality sunglasses where the UV filter is sprayed on (and therefore rubs off with cleaning) rather than imbedded in the lens material. The experienced doctors and staff at Family Eyecare Centre, a partner of FYidoctors, are more than happy to share their knowledge about measures you can take to protect your and your family’s eyes from UV damage. We offer a wide range of products including sunglasses, eyeglasses, and contact lenses that help block UV radiation. We even have sunglasses for infants! Call or visit us today to learn more.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

Q: My mother-in-law is very bossy and is dropping over to our home unannounced all the time. We have been married for two years and I thought that things would get better once we got married. My husband doesn’t seem to be able to stand up to his mother. We fight about his mother all the time. This has to get resolved or I can’t stay with him.

Q: During allergy season

my eyes get red, itchy, watery and sometimes swollen. What causes this?

Mary Longworth

A: An adult son who has not learned to stand up to a mother with a strong personality can create problems when he meets and especially when he commits to a long term partner. This is an issue that can wreak havoc on a relationship. Couples therapy can help identify why it is hard for your husband to stand up to his mother and how you can help support him as he learns to do this. The worst things to do are to be angry and or critical of your husband or to confront your mother-in-law. This issue is between your husband and his mother.

Try these tips to help make your dogs (and your home) smell a

little sweeter:

Ovens and ranges come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and it’s not always easy to figure which model would be right fit for your kitchen. You need to review all the oven and range options available on the market, including gas versus electric. Also look at range hoods, a vital element of any kitchen where you plan to do a lot of cooking.

Design With Confidence

Is there anything I can do to make them

smell better?

Dr. Nelly Kim

A: These are classic symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis or an eye allergy, which is caused when the membrane lining the eyelid and white part of the eye is irritated by an allergen (something you are allergic to).

The most common causes of allergic conjunctivitis are seasonal pollens, usually from trees in the spring, grass in the summer, and ragweed in the fall. Other common allergens found all year round are pet dander, dust and mold spores. Some people also can develop a reaction after touching something they are allergic to, and then rubbing their eyes. When our immune system encounters an allergen it releases antibodies which lead to a chemical reaction that causes symptoms such as a runny nose, congestion and/or itchy, watery, red eyes. Although the symptoms of eye allergies can be annoying and uncomfortable, they are rarely vision threatening. For mild symptoms, cold compresses and artificial tears often work well. For more moderate to severe symptoms, prescription allergy eye drops and oral allergy medications are usually recommended. These decrease and control symptoms during the affected season or time of exposure. If you suspect you have allergic conjunctivitis it is important to visit your Doctor of Optometry for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Since my return from vacation on Derrick Thornhill July 28th, I have had six accepted offers Park Georgia Realty and have taken three new listings. The market is hopping!

ASK A JOB SEARCH EXPERT Q: Should I always send a thank-you card after an interview? A: Yes! In fact, you should always send a thank you card to

anyone who has helped you progress in your job search journey. Sending a thank-you card after an interview reinforces the fact that you are interested in working for the company. Sending a thank-you card also pairs a courteous action with your name thereby building a positive relationship with said employer. Even if you do not get the job, you will have positioned yourself as likeable, and you have no idea how many likeable names are put forward to other employers or areas within the company; therefore, never burn bridges. Here are some tips: 1) After the interview, ensure you ask for a business card so that you have the correct spelling of the employer’s name and contact information for your thank-you card. 2) Use good quality stationary and print or write legibly. A hand written note is more personal; however, if the employer is making a speedy decision, feel free to follow up with a thank-you email. 3) Ensure your message is clear, concise, and free of any spelling or grammatical errors. 4) Address any issues, concerns, or lasting impressions discussed during the interview to make your thank-you card personal yet professional. 5) Send your thank-you card within 24-48 hours of your interview. If the employer is teetering between hiring you or someone else, often a simple courteous thank-you card is enough to tip the scale in your favour.

Secrets uncovered and exposés

If you want to learn the secrets behind some of today’s hot topics, then check out these gems, available at the New Westminster Public Library. In Fat Chance, Robert H. Lustig, M.D., explains the science and politics that have led to a pandemic of chronic disease. The food industry’s reckless use of sugar has altered our biochemistry and led to overeating. Intent on reversing this downward spiral, Lustig presents strategies to help us regain control of our diets and recover our health. Dr. Ben Goldacre’s Bad Pharma reveals the rigged evidence used by drug companies to promote their products. Supplied with bad information, doctors prescribe patients drugs that are overpriced, less effective and have more side effects. But there’s hope! Goldacre provides five things we can do to end to this destructive practice. In UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and

Government Officials Go on the Record, Leslie Kean provides accounts from high-level officials and aviation witnesses about their encounters with UFOs. Through her review of government documents, aviation reports, radar data, case studies, and photographs, Kean exposes decades of U.S. government misinformation about this strange phenomenon. Former National Security Agency employee Edward Snowden took the world by storm when he blew the whistle on the U.S. government’s mass surveillance program. This revelation has prompted a public debate on the dangers of global monitoring and the threat to individual privacy. Learn Snowden’s fascinating story in Luke Harding’s The Snowden Files. The High-Beta Rich by Robert Frank (eBook) reveals how the richest one per cent of America became an elite class that controls more than a third of the nation’s wealth. Their careless spending and increasing vulnerability to the ups and downs of the stock market have damaged the consumer economy, financial markets, employment opportunities and government finances.

It’s show time for Hyack senior BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

This is the year for Matt Seymour to show his stuff and hopefully the New Westminster Hyacks varsity football team as well. While the talented two-way senior is pegged as close as you can come to a sure thing heading into the 2014 B.C. AAA high school football season, the varsity Hyacks are coming off a regrouping year after missing the playoffs following an 0-6 record in 2012. The 6-0 wide receiver/corner has been widely touted as a top prospect by Canadian Football Chat. That is high praise for a young man who just took up the game three seasons ago. “I really only just started in Grade 9. I was just getting the hang of it and then I hit my stride,” said Seymour, who is expected to be all over the field when the Hyacks kick off the exhibition football season later this month in Grandview, Texas against the AAA Zebras. “Coming into this season, I thought I’d be an important piece, but I didn’t think I’d get all this university attention, especially from back East. It’s pretty humbling,” said Seymour. “But it motivated me a lot and got me more focused than I would have been.” While Seymour’s 2013 numbers weren’t over the top, they do show his versatility and potential. He caught eight passes for 149 yards and one touchdown last season, but had 15 tackles and led the team with four interceptions on defence. As the team kicker, Seymour also averaged more than 33 yards a punt and ran his only punt return back 37 yards for a touchdown. Head coach Farhan Lalji has big plans for the 170-pound talent. “Coach Lalji wants me to be a game-breaker, change the game around, be steady, but able to

make the big plays when I have to make a big play,” said Seymour. “(Seymour’s) the program’s top receiver – easily,” said Lalji. “I think he is the most complete receiver we’ve ever had. Honestly, he’s competitive, a really, really competitive football player. Some kids, say ‘Give me the ball,’ others go out and get the ball. He’s one of those. “He runs well and catches well, but he’s a better DB (defensive back). Half the schools are interested in him at corner. He’s freshman ready as a corner, but he may need a year on offence.” Seymour says the program’s expectations are the same as he has for himself. “I know what I have to do. It’s what is expected of me,” he said.

“Ask anybody and a championship is our goal this year – we can compete. We all want to fight, we all went to scrap, and we believe this is our year to do it.” If 2014 indeed turns out to be New West’s year, it will likely come down to some strategic playcalling by the Hyacks. “We have a few playmakers, but (Seymour) tops the list. We have to make every opportunity to get him the ball, and we’ll make it happen,” said Lalji. “He’s an intelligent player. We can drop him in any given spot. We can use him in most any position – slot, out wide, off the back end of a play, the front side. It doesn’t matter, he gets it.” Seymour gets the academic part of it as well. A career honour

roll student – “I make sure of that before football,” he added. That all adds up to the kind of leadership qualities Lalji looks for in the locker room. “Wherever he ends up, he’ll be a captain – he’s accountable,” said Lalji. “It will be hard to keep him off the field. I think it’s all surprising to him, and I don’t think he quite believes it, but he’ll be an All-Canadian one day, for sure.” New Westminster plays its home opener against W.J. Mouat at Mercer Stadium on Friday, Sept. 12. The Hyacks’ homecoming game is scheduled for the following Friday against the West Vancouver Highlanders. New West opens the preseason against Centennial on Sept. 5.

N.W. pickup assists in win The Calgary Mountaineers did something no Alberta junior A team had done in the past 10 years – beat a West Coast team. The Rocky Mountain LacrosseLeaguechampions eked out a 9-8 win over B.C. champion Coquitlam Adanacs in a best-of-five Western regional final last Saturday at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. New Westminster ’s Connor Goodwin, who was picked up for the playoffs by the Mountaineers from the Port Coquitlam Saints earlier this season, assisted on three goals in the historic win. Calgary lost its first two games of the Minto Cupqualifying playdowns 14-7 and 13-6 to the Adanacs. Jordan Kanscal backstopped the win for the Mountaineers, making 39 saves in goal. Jordan Felker had the eventual game-winner for Calgary, scoring at the 13:48 mark of the third period from Dan Taylor to give the Alberta club a 9-6 lead. The Mountaineers exited the best-of-five series on Sunday but not before giving the A’s everything they could handle for a second straight night, losing 7-6 to the A’s in Game 4. Goodwin scored two goals on Sunday, finishing the western final with a total of four goals and 11 points. Game 1 of the Minto begins on Saturday in Langley at 8 p.m.

Playoff road ends for senior Salmonbellies BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS EDITOR tberridge@royalcityrecord.com

The New Westminster Salmonbellies staged a near-improbable finish in Game 4 of the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal. The senior A Salmonbellies trailed by six goals heading into the final period before falling 16-13 to the Victoria Shamrocks at Queen’s Park Arena on Wednesday. The loss eliminated the New West club from the best-of-seven playoffs in straight games, but it hardly did justice to the series in its entirety. In Game 1 in Victoria, New West led 6-5 after the opening period before giving up six straight goals in the middle period.

In Game 2, the ’Bellies were leading 129 in the final minute of play before giving up an unlikely four goals and the game to the ’Rocks. In Game 3, New West had a rocky start but outscored the regular season champs the rest of the way before falling 11-8. “It just goes to show that you can’t count us out,” said New Westminster lefthander Logan Schuss, who led the ’Bellies with two goals and seven points in Game 4. “There is no quit on this team. That’s why we like to play together – 60 full minutes. … We gave it everything we had.” At Queen’s Park, the two teams traded goals throughout a 5-5 opening 20 min-

utes. But Victoria found the mark in the middle frame, outscoring the home team 7-1. Rather than lay down, the To view Salmonbellies responded in the a video, third, scoring six times, includscan ing four with the goalie out for a with sixth attacker, in a desperate eightLayar minute span that further injected excitement into a series that provided no shortage of surprises. “(The outcome of the series) definitely didn’t show what kind of games they were,” added Schuss, who currently leads all playoff scorers with 20 points in four games. But like it did all series, Victoria found ways to win in all manner of ways.

In game 4, defender Tyler Hass scored five times, including two of the ’Rocks’ four shorthanded goals in the game and one into an empty net. Jesse King got the other two shorties in a three-goal contribution. “(Victoria) is so talented. They’re all a bunch of pros. … It just shows how important the little things between the play are,” Schuss added. Jordan McBride, who had a solid series for the Salmonbellies, finished the game with six points, including a hat trick and a team-high 10 playoff goals. Cliff Smith also registered a hat trick. Neil Tyacke came on in relief of starter ◗Bellies Page 24
