Is New West pitting festivals against festivals?

Quayside Festival organizer concerned about ‘event’ overload

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Is the City of New Westminster pitting longtime community festivals against flashy new events?

James Crosty, lead organizer of the Quayside Festival and Sale, is concerned the city seems to be creating “city-sponsored mega events” to compete with longstanding com-

munity events. He voiced the concerns while announcing his group was postponing its 10th annual event until 2017, partly because the city had approved a new electronic dance festival, Piknic Elektronic, that same day at Westminster Pier Park.

Crosty said “this practice seems familiar” as city council allowed Uptown Live to be held on the same weekend as the 12th Street Music Festival, despite concerns

from the folks on 12th Street that Uptown Live would draw crowds and sponsorship away from the longstanding event. Uptown Live will still be held on July 23, but organizers of the 12th Street Music Festival have decided to hold that event on July 17, a week earlier than originally planned.

Crosty thinks the food truck festival and the Piknic Elektronic are great for the city, but he said city hall has to do a better job communicating with event organizers to avoid “event overload” scenarios.

Crosty was planning to postpone this year’s Quayside festival because of 10 to 15 logistical issues, but learning that a third major event was taking place downtown on the same day was the final straw.

KABOOM!

Suspect charged in bank heists

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A suspect in two bank robberies in New Westminster this month is behind bars thanks to some help from cops in neighbouring Coquitlam and Surrey.

The robberies happened at banks downtown on Friday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 17.

The New Westminster Police Department major crime unit took over the investigation, and officers were able to identify a suspect with help from Coquitlam RCMP, who had been investigating a similar robbery in their jurisdic-

tion, according to a press release from New Westminster police.

Shortly after the second incident in New West, the suspect was picked up by Surrey RCMP and brought back to the Royal City for booking, according to the release.

Jordan Michael Cishecki, 21, is now facing three counts of robbery – two for the incidents in New West and another for the Coquitlam robbery, which took place on Saturday, May 14.

Cishecki is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, May 25 in New Westminster. He remains in custody at this time.

Accident is still under investigation Police continue to investigate a four-car crash that shut down a portion of McBride Boulevard last week.

The collision happened shortly after midnight on May 18 when a vehicle headed south on McBride Boulevard crossed over the centre line and crashed into an oncoming vehicle.Two other cars were also hit by the colliding southbound and northbound vehicles, noted acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department.

One person suffered serious, but not life-threatening, injuries while the three other drivers involved were taken to hospital with minor injuries. McBride Boulevard was closed for several hours as police collected evidence at the scene.

It’s still unclear what caused the driver to cross the centre line or whether drugs and/or alcohol were factors. Officers with the department’s collision reconstruction team are investigating.

Crash cuts power to parts of New West Traffic ground to a halt on 10th Avenue Wednesday morning while crews worked to replace two damaged power poles between Eighth and 12th streets.

New Westminster police were called to the scene of a single-vehicle crash around 6 a.m.The vehicle had crashed into a power pole, damaging two along the south side of 10th Avenue, according to New Westminster police.

The driver was checked over by paramedics and determined to be uninjured; however, the damage to

the power poles was severe enough that they needed to be replaced, noted Rod Carle, general manager of electric utility for the City of New Westminster.

“Two poles were hit; one belongs to the City of New West electrical, one belongs to B.C. Hydro,” Carle said.

The crash initially knocked out power to about 1,000 residents in New Westminster, but crews were able to reroute some of the lines, restoring power to about half of the affected residents.

An ancient – and loud – city tradition Using two anvils, some gunpowder and a fuse, the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery performed a New Westminster tradition that is more than 150 years old on Victoria Day. This first Victoria Day celebration took place at the Royal Engineers’ camp located, in today’s terms, on a portion of the City’s Fraserview development near Columbia Street. It has also been held at city hall.

The event was held at Queen’s Park Stadium on Monday.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY May 26, 2016 5

City Bin boom wakes up neighbour A building at Merivale and Dickenson streets sustained only minor damage thanks to the quick action of neighbours and New Westminster firefighters early Monday morning.

Michael Couture, who lives in the area, heard a loud bang and voices outside around 2:20 a.m. on May 23, followed by sirens

and firefighters, he wrote in an email to the Record.

According to deputy fire Chief John Hatch, it was the neighbours who notified fire crews of the blaze when they spotted a recycling bin engulfed in flames.

“The crews responded quickly and were able to knock down the fire,” he

said.

“It’s a good news story for people to be aware in that area,” Hatch added.

There was no major damage to the building next to the bin.The fire department is treating the blaze as suspicious.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Someone needs to be the ‘fun’ boss Is it culture wars, poor planning, sour grapes, miscommunication, poor leadership, or none or all of the above?

New Westminster on one day seems to be jazzed up for just about any kind of party in our fair city – and then on another day seems to want to sit on the sidelines and hope it all sorts itself out.

It’s no wonder people may be confused, and frustrated.

At one time, during the whole Hyack brouhaha of 2013-14 (ICYMI: Internal problems triggered an audit and a closer look by the city), it was suggested the city hire a “festivals coordinator” to manage festivals and special events in the city.When Greg Magirescu, the former manager of arts and cultural development in the city, parted ways with the city it was reported at the time that the position would be filled but perhaps

with a different title.

It was a touchy time.

Many people took it to mean the city was going to “take over” Hyack and use its resources to bolster a new position in city hall.

That idea seemed to dissolve, and since then it appears that many different folks in city hall play a role in how the city supports, or doesn’t support, festivals and events in New Westminster.

And it all, eventually,

comes back to city council.

Recently, city council nixed a Hyack bike race, and some thought this was a continuing “culture war” against Hyack. For sure there’s still a lot of open wounds from the whole Hyack mess, but the city did say the race organizers did not get adequate support from the neighbourhood.

And now, Show and Shine is off again, and the Quayside Festival has called it quits for this year, blam-

ing the city’s poor planning (having three festivals on one weekend) for making it impossible to run. A city employee did apologize to the organizer for not consulting with the organizers, but clearly the damage was done.

We’re the last folks to call on the city to hire more managers. But, perhaps, now is the time for the city to rethink how it’s enabling, or disabling, city festivals and events.

Clearly there needs to be a coordinator who oversees the whole shebang. And council needs to be crystal clear on its motives for getting involved – if it even should.

Festivals can be great things, but festivals that flop because of poor coordination and clumsy execution can tarnish a city’s reputation.There are plenty of examples of that – and we certainly don’t want New West to be added to that list.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Debate heated over housing

An unusual issue will likely be front and centre in the coming election campaign, but it’s not entirely clear how – or even if – it will impact the eventual result.

I’m referring to the redhot housing market in Metro Vancouver, which was probably the most talked about issue during the just-completed spring legislature session.

For now, at least, few issues so clearly illustrate the philosophical differences between the B.C. Liberals and the NDP as does the debate over what action the B.C. government should take when it comes to addressing the wildly expensive housing prices that have taken root in much of the MetroVancouver area.

The housing market is just that: a market. And the free enterprise coalition that is the B.C. Liberal Party is loathe to push government into intervening to any great extent in a marketplace, lest such action leads to unintended consequences.

Whereas the NDP, long favourites of government intervention in the economy in all sorts of ways, is calling for a government-imposed speculation tax of two per cent, and a tax on vacant property.

NDP housing critic David Eby and Finance Minister Mike de Jong clashed on the housing issue on the second-to-last day of the session last week, during debate on the spending estimates for de Jong’s ministry. Check out the recorded proceedings as it’s a good summary of the positions the parties will put before the voters next spring.

Eby cites a few dozen

economists’ calls for some kind of tax on “international money” coming into the housing market and notes some have expressed fear the insanely expensive housing prices mean companies can’t attract employees to live here, which can eventually have a big negative impact on the local economy.

Eby wants the government to take aggressive action against foreign purchasers who may not even be living here, and has accused de Jong and the B.C. Liberal government of essentially doing nothing on the file.

But de Jong’s main counterpunch is that there is a lack of firm data on just who exactly is buying property and where they originate from.

He maintains without that hard information, it’s dangerous to conclude that foreign investors are solely to blame for escalating housing prices.

De Jong also insists that increasing the supply of housing is the key to solving the problem.

The NDP is clearly betting its demand for direct government intervention is an appealing message, but remember that older people (many of whom own homes and are now sitting on proverbial gold mines) tend to vote in far greater numbers than a younger crowd frustrated about not being able to get into the market.

Housing has never been a dominant issue in B.C. elections.We’ll find out in less than a year from now whether that still holds true.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Pattullo traffic night mare An old brown mare decided to kick off NewYear’s Day with a traffic-stopping gallop around New West in January. First spotted on 20th Street and Sixth Avenue, the 20-year-old horse hoofed it clear across the city before police managed to tail it into Queen’s Park. Police cars, however, were no match for the agile equine, and the animal galloped onto the Pattullo Bridge, nearly colliding with a new Dodge van, before officers were able to lasso it and tie it down in a nearby backyard.

Compromise needed for high school project

Still no word from gov’t on new NWSS

Dear Editor: Re: “Chiefs call for school to be built on another site,” Record, Thursday, May 5. The vital phrase in this article is “…without adequate consultation.” There does need to be consultation, compromise and listening to all sides concerned. There is no need for an Orwellian war in a perpetual stalemate. This issue has been ongoing for literally generations.

It is unfortunate that bad things were done in the past, showing no respect, but there is no way to change the past, and it is certainly not desirable to live in the past for the whole 21st century. Something appropriate and respectful, then a necessary move to the future is better for the whole community. They have so much to lose. Instead of self-important and self-righteous diatribes flying in all directions, our whole community needs compromise and listening. It has been over 30 years.

A lucid, rational debate is better than fleeing from discussion and seeking outside factions for reinforcements. That implies merely an admission of weakness. The best argument was written by Susie Poulsen: “The cemetery should be decommissioned properly and respectfully. A memorial should be erected... in the form of a double gymnasium for the entire school, community and the City of New West. The gymnasium can be named after any notable persons or groups and a historical memorial gallery can be created in the lobby outside the gymnasiums in their honour…”

(Facebook, Record, Thursday, May 12).

That is a splendid example of a thoughtful, considerate compromise, but who is listening?

After over 30 years of consideration, no other feasible site has been found. Better education is what needs to be done. The consequences of doing nothing more are too serious, and the whole community has so much to lose.

Terry Hilmar, New Westminster

Keep Quay fest alive Dear Editor What a crying shame that the City of New Westminster is unwilling to work with the Quayside Community Board and support the Quayside Boardwalk Festival. I have seen this self-funded event evolve from 12 tables at the Rialto to hundreds of tables spanning the entire length of the boardwalk and including three music stages, drawing over 10,000 visitors to our city. In recent years, the city in its wisdom has added a food truck festival to the late afternoon and early evening on the same day. For Mayor Jonathan Cote to suggest that everyone gets to the Quayside event via public transit is ridiculous. Vendors and service providers are unable to utilize public transit to bring their wares to the event and many of the customers are unable to transport goods acquired by public transit. The Quayside festival has been held on the third Saturday in August for the last nine years in a row and parking at the market and on the street is critical for the event. Now that festival organizers have indicated they would like to hold the 10th anniversary of the Quayside Festival on Saturday Aug. 19, 2017, will Mayor Cote kindly agree to not hold nor approve any conflicting events in the morning and early afternoon that day?

Surely 15 months advanced notice should be sufficient for Mayor Cote, council and the city to ensure there are no conflicting events.

Amanda Van Garderen If it’s the ministry’s number one priority, then why did Surrey get approval for two new schools this week, while we still await word?

Michelle Kent Interesting how after Surrey was on the news they’re getting the new school while New Westminster is on the back burner Amanda Van Garderen Again.....

Dave Lundy I’ve given people the idea that if you want a new NWSS you need to go outside the riding and lobby LIberal MLAs to accomplish this. And if they’re not onside, then you need to work to unseat them. New West is in reality a stronghold for the NDP. Largely through good representation has this occurred.

So signing petitions and sending them off to Victoria to find the shredder bin (because Clark’s not going to bother listening in an election year to a riding she has no hope in hell of winning.) isn’t going to do anything. Nothing but a change in government next year will achieve what the parents of New West want. To do that, you have to knock off some surrey MLAs of Liberal persuasion. Polak, Cadieux are two that might be ripe. But then Clark just delivered some goodies for them to help them out. As cabinet minsters both have been abject failures.

But I guess you have to be nicer to them at first when lobbying on this issue. If they refuse to get behind the new school.. then people need to mobilize against them, even though its Surrey and not New West. Sorry but petition time ended a long time ago.

People who say that this issue transcends politics have their heads somewhere other than in reality. You have to get political to get this done. And with respect signing petitions isn’t enough.

And no electing a Liberal MLA wouldn’t do it in New West. Last one we had did nothing on the file at all... and was so highly regarded... she was out in 2005 talking about how much the BC LIberals cared about health care... while Campbell started the wrecking ball on St. Marys. LMAO. Amanda Van Garderen Totally agree.

Are there too many events in NewWest? @CanSpice No! Nowhere near too many events. @jenarbo there are lots but not everything is for everyone and no one should expect exclusivity. Ever. @mparks3 NO! One can never have enough of festivals & events... the more the merrier...

City FROM THE FRONT

Festival overload in city?

Continued from page 1 removal of the parkade – only skims the surface of the possible logistical nightmare foreseen with the addition of the Piknic Electronic at Pier Park,” he said in a press release. “With a purported 90,000 attendees at the food truck event, an attendance of 10,000 at the Quayside Community Board’s Boardwalk Festival and Sale, and now an estimated 4,200 to attend the Piknic Elektronic, that’s 104,200 people – nearly twice the entire population of New Westminster – in this compact and highly disrupted area.”

Crosty said he’s already in talks with city staff about coming up with potential parking remedies so the festival can be held again next year, but he couldn’t leave performers and vendors hanging in case a solution couldn’t be found in time for this year.

“I just don’t see the experience as being a positive one and I want the city

to be presented in its best light,” he said. “The numbers and the logistics didn’t line up this year. It’s going to make it all that much better next year.We will resolve some of the outstanding issues.”

We just got our kids’ zone working last year The Quayside Festival and Sale has always been held on the opening weekend of the PNE when no other festivals were held in New West, but Crosty said he’d be willing to consider a new date in the future. Someone suggested the event be scaled back this year to be a community garage sale, but that wasn’t something Crosty wanted to do for the 10th annual event.

“The reason why we have up to 10,000 people attending the event is they come for the experience,” he said.

“It’s relaxing, it’s tranquil.

We have bands.We just got our kids’ zone working last year.”

Last November, one of the organizers of the 12th Street Music Festival expressed concern about the “mischaracterizations” of its festival as being like a block party, rather than an event that has attracted Junoaward winning musicians and top music professionals in Vancouver. Similarly, Crosty is irked with suggestions the festival is “just a garage sale,” noting it’s drawn thousands of visitors to the waterfront in past years, created business for shops at River Market in the downtown, raised money for local charities and kept thousands of items out of landfills.

The Record could not reach city officials for comment by deadline.

As work continues on the rehab of the Pattullo Bridge, another closure is in store for the span.

The bridge, which has been cut down to one lane in each direction since the beginning of May, will be closed to all traffic from 8 p.m. on Friday, May 27 until 5 a.m. on Monday.

As part of the work that’s running until the beginning of October, the bridge will be closed to all traffic two nights a week and one weekend a month to give crews additional time and space to get work done as quickly as possible.

In order to carry out rehabilitation work on the deck of the Pattullo Bridge, several closures are planned for the span until early October.

Having said that, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that when we regroup this week if we are seeing things happen because of shortcutting traffic that warrants a short-term restriction that isn’t currently in place we are not going to rule that out.”

Because New Westminster is such a “constrained” city, Leblanc said that when traffic is pinched in one location, something generally happens elsewhere in the traffic network.

“But for the most part, we haven’t seen the significant queuing that was modelled initially,” she added. “We have seen some queuing and we have seen enough to warrant having traffic control people out and doing some monitoring, but it isn’t as bad as what was predicted.”

“We are seeing about 30,000 less vehicles a day using the Pattullo Bridge,” said Lisa Leblanc, the city’s transportation manager. “Although there is still queuing that is happening because it’s only one lane in each direction, there is actually less traffic volume going through the city.”

Leblanc said the city has received some very positive feedback from residents about the traffic management initiatives put in place to manage motorists who are trying to rat run through neighbourhoods.Traffic control people will continue to monitor the situation.

Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary looks for new blood

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary is hoping to find some fresh blood for programs aimed at helping patients and their families.

The auxiliary needs volunteers for the gift shop and lotto booth in Royal Columbian Hospital, as well as the New toYou thrift store just down the road on East Columbia Street.

“We need volunteers desperately,” said Marlene Braidwood, president of the Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary. “We have been around for 103 years, but we do need to get more help for a couple of our venues.”

Along with the hospital’s community volunteer program, members of the auxiliary help the hospital by volunteering at three venues and offering services for patients and their families.

“If we could get one shift a week, we’d be happy. Depending on where they are, it could be four hours, max-

imum five hours.We are a lot of old people – we are trying to get some younger blood,” Braidwood said.

“We will try and work around them, and we will train them.The lotto booth is lots of fun. It’s easy to do once they are trained.”

The auxiliary raises money to buy equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital.

“They send us a list of what they need,” Braidwood said. “Generally, it’s equipment that is not funded by Fraser Health or, if it is funded, the stuff is old or needs to be updated.”

The Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary also provides “patient comfort” services, which includes supplying items patients may need when they’re being discharged, such as clothing, shoes or vouchers for bus or cab rides home. It also offers packs for children who come into the emergency ward with their families.

“It’s a long wait, as you can well imagine,” Braid-

wood said. “We have started providing packs for children.We put crayons and sheets for them to draw.

Everything is new and packaged.We have little bears for

the little children. It’s something to cuddle and hold.

We put in anything we can find.We have only been doing this for a year, and it has just grown. It has been so

well received that we can’t keep up.”

New Westminster aims to be bee friendly

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is sweet on the honeybee.

The City of New Westminster has proclaimed May 29 to be the Day of the Honeybee in New Westminster – a day aimed at bringing attention to the health

and well-being of the honeybee.

Leanne Buhler, manager of the Honeybee Centre in Surrey, said honeybees are an important part of the ecosystem and are responsible for pollinating one-third of food consumed but have been threatened by environmental changes and in-

creasingly intensive farming practices needed to feed the population.

“This is certainly going to be a serious environmental problem,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams. “I don’t think the world is aware yet of the importance of the honeybee for food production.”

Williams said she’d love

for New Westminster to become a “bee friendly city” and suggested council refer the issue to the city’s environment coordinator.

Buhler said the Day of the Honeybee is an opportunity to bring education and inspiration to others about the issue and to discuss ways people can help honeybees.

“Plant a bee-friendly garden,” she said of her number 1 tip. “What that means is planting a variety of plants and foliage that will bloom throughout the year – as early as possible in the spring and all the way to the latest possible date in the fall.That gives the bees tons of food to drink throughout

Buhler’s second tip is to give bees a little bit of water by providing a shallow water dish with rocks, so bees and other pollinators can land safely and drink water.

Community The day of the honeybee is coming Continued from page 11 cut the dandelions.That’s because it’s the first food,” she said. “Oftentimes bees are very, very weak at the beginning of the season. If they come out and they’ve only got so much effort to go and find food, if they can’t find those dandelions within a certain distance, it may mean life or death for the colony.They really are important.”

New Westminster resident John Gibeau founded the Honeybee Centre, which provides products and services related to beekeeping, as well as a visitor centre and retail store.

The Day of the Honeybee is part of the Honeybee Centre’s new community bee garden project, said Buhler of the project being offered in Surrey but applicable to other cities.

“What we are doing is bringing 10-by-10 garden plots and setting them up around the City of Surrey on private and public properties.They are planted full of seasonal foliage – something that grows throughout the season. Each garden has two honeybee colonies and a variety of nesting materials for native pollinators like mason bees and bumblebees,” she told the Record.

“Our goal is to put 100 colonies in the City of Surrey to pollinate the local flowers and also to provide education and connect different

communities and different people that are doing great things for honeybees and honeybee health.”

The project also aims to educate people about these important insects.

! Honeybees are close relatives of wasps and ants.

! Bees have a long, strawlike tongue called a proboscis that allows them to drink the nectar from deep within blossoms.

! Honeybees are found on every continent on earth, except for Antarctic.

! It’s estimated one-third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination.

Saturday, June 4, 2016 9:30 am to 4:00 pm

“A lot of businesses are still skeptical about having bees close by to the public.That’s part of the benefit of having these colonies in the city and in public places – to reduce that fear and

bring education that bees are good,” she said. “They are here anyways – they are just a bit more obvious than you’re used to.”

Without bees, pollination would be difficult and timeconsuming.

! A typical honeybee colony has 50,000 to 80,000 bees. A fully fertile queen bee lives four to seven years, compared to about 45 days for a worker bee.

! Honeybees are social insects and live in colonies consisting of a single queen, a few hundred drones and thousands of worker bees.

Calendar Girls hit city stage

A popular British comedy that began life as a hit film is coming to the stage at the Bernie Legge Theatre.

The Vagabond Players are closing out their 2015/16 season with Calendar Girls, directed by Nancy von Euw. The production stars Carol L. Mann and Nancy Ebert as Chris and Annie, two friends who resolve to raise money for a new settee in the local hospital waiting room – a project they take on after Annie’s husband is diagnosed with leukemia.

They persuade their fellow members of the Women’s Institute to pose nude with them for a fundraising calendar – and, before they know it, the women become

worldwide sensations.

The cast also includes Joan Koebel, Emma Greenhalgh, Beverley Field and Elaine Francis as the other “calendar girls,” with Kathleen Driscoll, Sue Sparlin, Natalie Schreiber, Gavin LeClaire, Chris Coulter and Jared Arthur rounding out the cast.

Calendar Girls is onstage June 2 to 26 at the Bernie Legge Theatre, Queen’s Park. It runs Thursdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m., with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $15 regular or $13 for seniors and youth, with $10 previews on June 2 and 3.Tickets at www.vaga bondplayers.ca/tickets or 604-521-0412.

A New West student was among the finalists at a provincial French speech contest earlier this month.

Hayley Dabb, a Grade 6 late immersion student at École Glenbrook Middle School, scored herself a bronze medal at the annual Concours d’art oratoire.

Dabb wowed judges with her speech titled, “La vie quotidienne de ma chatte,” or “the daily life of my cat.”

The “Concours” is a French public speaking contest organized annually by Canadian Parents for French every year across the country. Students from grades 6 to 12 write and present a three- to five-minute speech for judges at the district level before moving on to the provincials and eventually, for secondary students, the nationals.The speeches can be on any topic the student wants.

"In addition to the cultural and language benefits, Concours d'art oratoire helps students develop their creative and public speaking abilities, as well as self-con-

for the business community’s continued support over the years.

Reps from several local businesses, including Uptown Dawg and Bosley’s by Pet Valu, dropped by to mix and mingle over pitchers of margaritas.

Get the bite on Chafers Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

If you’ve got issues with the European chafer, you’ll want to get in touch with the city before its subsidy coupons are gobbled up.

The City of New Westminster is once again offering a program that allows local residents to buy two packages of nematodes at a 50 per cent discount.

A limited number of coupons is available for this subsidy program, and residents can pick up subsidy coupons and chafer management info from Monday, May 30 to Friday, June 3 and later pick up the nematodes, which have to be applied to lawns at a certain date.

A couple of things to keep in mind: residents must have picture ID and proof of residency when picking up subsidy coupons at the city’s parks and rec office in Moody Park (600 Eighth St.); and watering permits must be issued from the city’s engineering department to allow for unrestricted watering of nematodes (as watering restrictions are now in effect).

today’sdrive 20 17 Hyundai Elantra

Your journey starts here.

It isn’t bigger, but it has grown up

BY MALCOLM GUNN

www.wheelbasemedia.com

When you think of the major players in the compact-car category, the Elantra stands tall alongside the Honda Civic, Chevrolet Cruze, Toyota Corolla and Ford Focus.

How it reached this level is a testament to Hyundai’s spare-no-effort approach to designing and building a vehicle that is larger than it looks, provides more creature comforts than you would expect and offers plenty of driving enjoyment.

Hyundai has also proven that it’s fearless when it comes to reengineering one of its top sellers. With each successive Elantra, the automaker has carried over little if anything from previous iterations and that certainly goes for the sixth-generation model that’s now on sale.

Although the car’s key dimensions have changed little from the previous model, the sheetmetal is quite different. The prominent hexagonal grille follows the same pattern as the mid-size Sonata, while the doors, fenders and rear deck are more subtly shaped. The Elantra’s newfound conservatism is in stark contrast to the past design brashness.

It’s as if the car is aging at least as gracefully as its customer base.

There’s certainly nothing old about the Elantra’s interior that eschews the exaggerated dashboard for a more straightforward and grownup appearance.

It’s an effect that Toyota uses to its advantage and

one that Hyundai seems to be emulating. For passengers, a reshaping of the seats has yielded a bit more cabin space, although the newfor-2016 Honda Civic reigns supreme in this regard while the Toyota Corolla and Mazda3 also provide greater personal room.

A redesign of the Elantra’s platform has led to a stronger and stiffer body structure. It’s also lighter and, along with an all-new rear suspension, is designed to deliver a better driving experience plus added comfort and quietness for passengers.

The new Elantra brings with it a choice of two new engines that stress fuel economy over raw performance.

The new base unit is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder that puts out 147 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. This replaces the 145-horsepower 1.8-litre four-cylinder.

The 2.0 can be connected to a six-speed manual transmission (but only for the base model), or an available six-speed automatic.

Optional - and available a few months after launch - is a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder that makes just 128 horsepower, but spools out 156 pound-feet of torque.

This powerplant is exclusive to the Elantra Eco and comes with a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The Turbo delivers the most torque of the two engines and will likely also consume the least amount of fuel, although the numbers are not yet available. Meanwhile, the 2.0

is rated at 8.3 l/100 km in the city and 6.4 on the highway, which is competitive, but not tops in class.

With either powerplant, you can get Hyundai’s Drive Mode Select that has Eco, Normal and Sport settings.

Elantra base pricing has increased only slightly from before and starts at $17,700, including destination charges. For that you get the L model equipped with just the basics plus heated front seats.

The LE comes with air conditioning and the automatic transmission, while the GL adds an 18-centimetre touch-screen display, rearview camera and added active safety equipment.

GL highlights include a power sunroof, pushbutton start and hands-free trunk opening, with the GLS getting leather seats, power driver’s seat and a navigation system as standard.

At the top of the Elantra pecking order, the Ultimate receives a number of advanced crash-avoiding technologies plus adaptive headlights that pivot as the vehicle turns.

The Eco’s standard and optional content is not yet known, but will likely approximate that of the Limited.

The new Elantra might appear more buttoned-down than before, but it’s consistent with the kind of quality image that other modestly priced vehicles are projecting.

What you should know 2017 Hyundai Elantra Type: Engine (hp):

Four-door, front-wheel-drive compact sedan 2.0-litre DOHC I4 (147); 1.4-litre DOHC I4, turbocharged (128)

Transmissions: Six-speed manual; six-speed automatic (opt.); seven-speed automatic (1.4)

Market position: Compact cars are not necessarily “cheap” cars, especially since they can be fitted with plenty of luxury amenities as well as high-tech active safety technologies that have trickled down from more expensive cars.

Points:

Conservative, yet attractive styling will appeal to a wider buying group; Interior is much tamer, which matches with exterior changes; Base trim does not have air conditioning, but otherwise well-equipped for the price; Hyundai still has one of the best warranties around.

Active Safety:

Brake assist (opt.); blind-spot detection (opt.); lanedeparture warning/lane-keeping assist (opt.); rear cross-traffic alert (opt.)

L/100 km (city/hwy): 8.3/6.4 (2.0, AT Base price (incl. destination) $17,700

• Add compost or well composted manure before planting, to enrich the soil.

• Add dolomite lime to “sweeten” the soil, as most veggies prefer an only slightly acidic soil.

• Feed plants regularly to provide nutrition and encourage healthy growth – ask us which fertilizer is right for the crops you plan to grow.

• Use tomato cages to provide support not only for tomatoes, but for cukes & eggplant too.

• Don't over-crowd your veggies. Leave enough space between plants to allow good light penetration and air circulation, and to make it easy to reach and maintain plants.

CARING FOR SENIORS IN NEW WESTMINSTER

Is it time to talk about safe driving with seniors?

Parents are accustomed to talking to their teenagers about driving safely, but who’s talking to seniors?

Home Instead Senior Care notes that an unexplained dent on a vehicle or a senior avoiding ac!vi!es that require them to leave home may be the arst sign that it’s !me for families to talk with their aging parents about driving.

“As adults, we don’t hesitate to talk to our teenage children about driving, but when we need to address concerns with our own parents, we drop the ball,” Elin Schold Davis, an occupa!onal therapist and project coordinator for the Older Driver Ini!a!ve of the American Occu-

pa!onal Therapy Associa!on, said in a press release. “We know that discussing driving with aging loved ones reduces their discomfort around limi!ng or stopping their driving. O"en, families just need to know how to start the dialogue.”

For many seniors, the idea of giving up driving sparks feelings of anger, anxiety and loneliness. To help families navigate these sensi!ve conversa!ons about driving cessa!on, the Home Instead Senior Care network has launched a new public educa!on program, Let’s Talk about Driving, which o$ers free resources and !ps to help families build a roadmap for limit-

The ability to drive gives seniors the freedom to do what they want, when they want ing or stopping driving when the !me is right.

“The ability to drive gives seniors the freedom to do what they want, when they want – and we want to respect that independence,” said Dennis Fancy, franchise owner of the Home Instead Senior Care o&ce in Burna-

by. “Proac!vely talking about driving with seniors allows them to take an ac!ve role in deciding when and why their driving should be reduced or eliminated.”

A recent survey by Home Instead Inc. found that 95 per cent of seniors surveyed haven’t talked to their loved ones about driving. Nearly 31 per cent said a recommenda!on from family or friends about transi!oning from driving would make them reconsider driving.

While many seniors aged 70 or older are able to drive safely, Home Instead said it’s cri!cal for families to have a plan in place before a medical or cogni!ve condi!on makes it

unsafe for their loved one to get behind the wheel.

“Physical and cogni!ve changes, such as those caused

by Alzheimer’s disease, change in vision or medica!on usage, can put older adults in jeopardy on the road,” said Scold Davis. “Many drivers can con!nue to drive safely as they get older, but it’s important for families to work with their loved one to create a roadmap that explores new technologies and solu!ons, while planning ahead. The solu!on may not be to stop driving completely, but could include adding senior-friendly safety features to the car or taking a safety class.”

Caregivers can look for sev-

eral poten!al warning signs that their senior may be losing the conadence or ability to drive, such as unexplained dents, trouble turning to see when backing up, increase agita!on while driving and riding the brake.

“We o"en receive calls from families a"er an incident occurs behind the wheel. This may be a sign their loved one needs assistance maintaining their independence in and outside of the home,” Fancy said. “Our hope is that by having these discussions and knowing the poten!al warning signs in advance, we can help ensure seniors and their families stay safe and independent on their terms.”

Education: Most families ‘drop the ball’ when it comes to speaking with their aging parents about driving.

Experts suggest broaching the subject early and watching for warning signs that a senior’s driving abilities are declining.

10 warning signs seniors may be unsafe drivers 1. Mysterious dents. If a senior can’t explain what happened to his or her car, this could be a sign there’s been a change in the senior’s driving abilities.

2. Trouble turning to see when backing up. Aging may compromise mobility and impact important movements needed to drive safely.

3. Confusing the gas and brake pedals.

4. Increased irritation and agitation when driving. Poor health or chronic

pain can trigger increased agitation, leading to poor judgment on the road.

8. Delayed reaction and response time.

5. Bad calls on left-hand turns. Turning left can be tricky and dangerous for older adults.

9. Driving the wrong speed. Driving too fast or too slow may be indicators a driver’s judgment may be impaired.

6. Parking gone awry.

10. Riding the brake. Riding the brake could be a sign that a driver no longer has confidence in his or her skills.

7. Difficulty staying within the lanes.

A driver zigzagging along the road could be a sign fatigue or vision problems are making it difficult to stay on course.

Community OUR PAST

Our city has a colourful past Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

This is always an interesting week in New Westminster.The Victoria Day salute by the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery begins the week; May Day festivities happen midweek; and the Hyack Parade caps it off on the weekend.

This community has always loved parades, from our earliest years to today.

In 1871 the parade was not very big, but the fire brigade’s vehicle, the Fire King, was definitely a highlight. Members of the brigade obviously saw that it was suitably dressed for the day, especially for its short trip to the cricket ground.

Part of early May Days involved leading a large group of citizens from the centre of this growing town to the “green” or cricket ground, which had been levelled and prepared for sports, gatherings and ceremonies. Newspaper accounts of the day tell us that a horse-drawn wagon, car-

riage or coach was often used (they were probably all much the same) and in 1876 it was referred to as a “triumphal car.”

It’s important to remember in those early days, the Fire King, whether it was going to a fire or transporting a May Queen, was pulled by members of the fire brigade, not by horses.

On another May Day – in 1873 – the festivities were held on the lawn of Government House and the Fraser River was the “road” used.That year, the formal groups that were the May Day suites embarked in two boats from the city’s waterfront, with the May Queen’s boat being referred to as “her majesty’s gondola,” and were rowed upstream to the landing at Sapperton.When they arrived, they walked up to Government House where there was a proper throne and May Pole.The rest of the community, coming over from the town, walked to join the fun.

In the 1876 event, a

A Unique World of Equipment, Tools & More

band was involved and as the newspaper described it, “the procession moved off in the direction of the Government House, the band leading the way with lively strains of fife and drum, …the scene was really enchanting.”

Some years later, on May Day’s 75th anniversary in 1945, the parade was special and referred to as the best in years.The May Queen’s float was horse-drawn to harken back to the earlier days of carriages.The four horses used were from R McDonald’s farm in Richmond, and the horse-drawn float was beautifully decorated by city firefighters.

The Chinese entry was also well received. “The Chinese float came in for special admiration from the hundreds who lined Columbia St. ‘China honours the 75th May Queen’ was the wording of a banner on both sides of this highly decorated conveyance.”

Library supports for parents and newborns Samantha Stokell

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Are you a new parent with a newborn baby and not sure what to do with the child when they’re not crying or sleeping? The Children’s department at the New Westminster Public Library can help you entertain your child and help develop early literacy skills for your newborn.

Babies under one year of age are sponges for learning.

They listen to everything you say and it’s important for them to hear different words, songs and rhymes to help develop their language skills.

Babytime will return to the library’s main branch from July 8 through Aug. 19, on Friday mornings from 10:30 to 11 a.m.

This is a special storytime for children aged 0 to 23 months that includes songs,

stories and rhymes and it’s also a chance for parents to learn how to interact with their little ones.

Babies under one year of age are sponges for learning.

Parents with newborns can also take advantage of the library’s newborn baby kits. Each kit has a music CD, a board book and some literature to guide parents of new babies in sharing books with their infants and toddlers. Stop by and ask about one!

Babies also need touch and movement.They need an opportunity to play with their fingers, move their

arms and legs, and cuddle.

Our children’s librarians can help you choose the right book or CD for your baby, even your newborns. Look for books or songs that encourage any interaction between the parent or caregiver and the baby, such as cuddling or pointing to body parts.

The book Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes by Mem Fox is a great read for babies; it has rhymes, different ethnicities, repetition and an opportunity for parents to play with their own babies and their little fingers and toes.

If you’re just home from the hospital and wondering what to do with your little bundle of joy, visit the New Westminster Public Library, and let us help you become your child’s first teacher and entertainer.

Are Canadians turning a deaf ear to hearing loss?

Dementia linked to untreated Hearing Loss.

- Johns Hopkins University

New studies make it clear that the effects of hearing loss have greater implications for your overall health. Studies that have now shown links to diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia. Although hearing loss is often associated with aging, Canadians are showing signs of hearing loss in their 30’s and 40’s. Yet few seek professional help.

With the association between untreated hearing loss and dementia, scheduling a Hearing Test could be the first step to improving your hearing health - and your long-term quality of life!

ASK A JOB SEARCH EXPERT

Q A

How do I keep from getting discouraged in my job search?

If you’re beginning to feel dispirited because your job search seems to be dragging on, remember that there’s always room for improvement. If something isn’t working, then it’s time to alter NEELY HAZELL your approach. Job search is a lot like a chess game. Like most people, we become frustrated when our opponent is beating us at a game.

This is the point where we must cleverly revise our strategy. Of course, before we can rework our strategy, we must know the rules of the game and our opponent’s tactics thoroughly before we can make our next strategic move. So, start doing some research and unearth your pursued employer’s strategies and wants, and then briefly view the application process from his/her perspective. Perhaps then you will have a new appreciation for and approach to pursuing your job search. Then, hopefully you can put your job search and discouragement in checkmate. www.fraserworks.ca | 604.522.9701 | Hours: M-F 8:30am-4:30pm 2nd Floor 519 7th Street, New Westminster, BC V3M 6A7 /FraserWorksESC

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

How much longer will this hot market last?

This hot market is cooling as we speak. In the month of April there were almost 50 recorded detached house DERRICK THORNHILL sales in New Westminster, with over 30 Park Georgia Realty selling for over asking. May has seen total sales drop with less multiple offers and over asking sales than the previous month. There is a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, people are reaching higher in their initial asking prices which is resulting in less offers being written on any given property. Secondly, the total number of available properties has almost doubled in the last month. The market is becoming balanced. However, sale prices are still under upward pressure! Look for a few more eye brow raising sale prices before this spring is over.

ASK A SLEEP EXPERT

Q A

What are the most common signs and symptoms of sleep apnea?

One of the most common signs of sleep apnea is loud and chronic snoring. Others may witness stops in the breathing, gasping, choking, and snorting. People with sleep apnea often feel sleepiness and fatigue during the day. Some people find that they have poor memory and concentration. Some feel irritable, depressed, or have mood swings. Other common symptoms of sleep apnea include frequent awakenings, morning headaches, feeling exhausted in the morning, restless sleep, restless legs, insomnia, night sweats, and waking with a dry mouth or sore throat. Common signs and symptoms for children with sleep apnea include bedwetting, night terrors, hyperactivity, poor school performance, and behavioural problems.

FYidoctors

ASK A VETERINARIAN

V

ision is our most precious sense - 80 per cent of all impressions from our environment come from our eyes. FYidoctors (formerly Family Eyecare Centre) believes in helping people to experience all life has to offer with all-inclusive eye care for the whole family.

They provide comprehensive eye examinations for adults and children - from babies to seniors - to diagnose and treat vision problems and eye diseases; and offer an extensive selection of eyeglass frames, sunglasses and state-of-the-art lenses, safety and sport specific eyewear, and the latest in contact lenses (with a special interest in difficult fits). New patients are always welcome!

Who are the members of this caring and fun-loving team?

Staff and doctors hail from a wide range of backgrounds, including Europe, the Caribbean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America. Languages spoken include English, French, Spanish, German, Cantonese, Korean, Punjabi, Hindi, Gujarati and Kacchi. In addition, all the doctors are women!

The clinic has been serving the people of New Westminster since the 1950s under the guidance of various optometrists over the years. In 2008 it became a founding partner of FYidoctors – now Canada’s largest eye care provider. This unique model is simple. They combine the passion and personalized care offered by independent practitioners, with the clout and pricing of a large corporation. For patients this means a winning combination of quality and value. For eye doctors it means not having to compromise on quality of care.

FYidoctors believes in giving back to the community. Their contributions are numerous and varied, reflecting the changing needs of New Westminster’s individuals and organizations. Currently they participate in programs that offer eye exams and free eyeglasses to young children; regularly support Monarch Place, a transition house for women and children fleeing violence; provide eye exams to the homeless and new immigrants; host dozens of eye health presentations annually to local pre-schools, daycares and ‘Baby Talks’ to new moms at several locations; and donate to many local and international fundraisers.

Q

My veterinarian is recommending stool testing. I don’t see any worms in the stool so is this necessary?

A

Stool samples are sent to a laboratory where a pathologist checks the sample under a DR. MANJU ARORA microscope. Stool parasites in our area include roundworm eggs, tapeworm eggs, hookworm eggs, Giardia (‘beaver fever’), and coccidia.

All of these parasites can infect humans and stool sampling should be done routinely. Tablet dewormers do not kill parasites other than worms, so it is important to check for other infections.

A dog can have a stool infection and not act sick. Worm eggs are microscopic and are not visible in the stool. The actual worms will not be visible in the stool unless there is a very large worm burden and then they can appear in the stool or vomit.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q A

What happens if I don’t moisturize?

Leaving moisturizer out of your routine today could lead to deeper wrinkles later on. When the skin barrier is compromised, which is what we see when it becomes dry, KATIE MARSHALL there’s actually a low-grade chronic inflammation that occurs in the skin. Low levels of ongoing inflammation ultimately lead to a breakdown of collagen and accelerated aging. Even if your skin type tends to be normal to oily, using a high-quality moisturizer on a regular basis can be the key to improving the way your skin looks and feels. The purpose of any moisturizer is to seal in moisture and to hold water in the skin, keeping your skin supple and smooth. Anti-aging moisturizers are all the rage because not only do they help moisturize skin but they also work to prevent wrinkles and improve cell turnover, resulting in fresher and younger looking skin.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

ASK A DESIGNER

Q A

When can I get a bionic eye?

Bionic eye implants are no longer a science-fiction fantasy.

There are two types of bionic implants being investigated – retinal implants for those with vision loss from eye disease, and advanced lens DR. BRENDA HORNER implants for patients with healthy eyes.

The former is already being used experimentally in Europe for patients with vision-threatening diseases. The latter is an invention by British Columbia optometrist Dr. Garth Webb, who claims that his implant will allow patients to see better than 20/20 at all distances without glasses or contacts. The timeline for commercial approval of this exciting innovation is uncertain, but may be years away as rigorous safety and efficacy testing is required.

In the meantime, see your Doctor of Optometry for information on current vision correction options, including laser eye surgery, contact lenses, or ‘old-fashioned’ eyeglasses.

Why Choose Blinds?

Blinds are practical window treatment option for your home or office. Available in a variety of styles, colors, patterns and light diffusing options. 1) Privacy: Depending on the type of fabric chosen blinds can MICHELLE BERNIER be 100% room darkening or have degrees of opaqueness to allow in natural light and keep our harmful UV rays. 2) Light control: Blinds are able to filter out partial light from the room. The end result is a soothing natural white light which lightens up your space. 3) Visually: Visually appealing in many styles and patterns, they can take the place of drapery but also be used with drapery or drapery panels to soften the look of a window.

Introducing the Regent at King Edward:

R

A Coveted Address

eal estate in Vancouver’s West Cambie Corridor has become extremely attractive because of its easy access to downtown Vancouver and Richmond and its chic shops, cafes, and parks. One of the newest condo developments to be built in the neighbourhood is the Regent at King Edward.

Living at Regent at King Edward means strolling tree-lined streets, heading to Vij’s on Cambie for dinner or picking up organic produce at Choices Market, to name only a few of the amenities which are all a short walking distance away.

Regent International Developments’ The Regent at King Edward is a sleek, contemporary six-storey LEED GOLD concrete mid rise offering a collection of 66 condominiums and four townhomes, ranging from 430 to 1,300 square feet.

Starting from low $400,000s, these homes will be showcased by overheight ceilings, air conditioning, private rooftop balconies for penthouse units, and welldesigned ground-oriented townhomes.

Residents will enjoy a private landscaped rooftop deck complete with barbecue and outdoor sink, seating, a children’s play area and garden plots. There will also be a social lounge with library – encouraging a sense of community.

The Regent at King Edward comes to you from well-respected Regent International Developments Ltd, an award-winning developer with more than 25 years of experience and one committed to sustainable communities of

exceptional quality.

“Our goal from the beginning was to always make the Regent at King Edward a real transit oriented development in every sense,” says Matthew Ng, vice-

president of development and operations, Regent International Developments Ltd. “From the start, we identified a site that can allow a homeowner to commute, bike or walk to everywhere he/she needs to

be in a matter of minutes with or without the need of a car.”

King Edward Station is a stone’s throw from the Regent’s front lobby, allowing residents to get to Downtown Vancouver or Richmond in 10 minutes, as well as arrive at the Vancouver International Airport to catch a flight in just 15 minutes.

In keeping with its mandate to be as eco-friendly as possible, Regent partnered with MODO car share to bring an onsite car share program for all the prospective homeowners.

“Each homeowner will have complimentary membership to the Hybrid Toyota Prius parked in the Regent’s garage,” adds Ng. “This is especially helpful to the market segment that is going to school or is just starting out with their careers. If pay parking is not an option for a student, the 025 Bus Line will bring you to UBC in about 30 minutes.”

In addition, the new Vancouver Bike Share will start to roll out this year. The Regent at King Edward was identified by the City of Vancouver as one of the more conducive sites for the bike share program – making it easier for cycle enthusiasts to enjoy the outdoors or for those who want to take a trip to the nearest grocery store without having the need to bring their car.

The Regent at King Edward sales centre is open by appointment only at 4033 Cambie Street, Vancouver. Completion date is slated for fall 2018.

Quick results for NW

Hyacks to send strong team to track and field B.C.s Dan Olson

Toe-to-toe: New Westminster Hyacks’ Nisa Reehal, centre, in orange, battles her Handsworth opponent for the ball during last week’s zone playoff game. With a berth to the provincials on the line, the North Vancouver squad jumped out to a quick lead and advanced with a 6-1 win. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Banner year ends short of provincials NewWestminster senior girls fell to Handsworth in a must-win B.C. qualifier Taken at face value, last week’s season-ending 6-1 loss to Handsworth could be a tough pill to swallow.

But the New Westminster senior girls soccer team, although falling short of its goal of a B.C. AAA tournament berth, have reasons to hold their heads high.

Handsworth jumped ahead 1-0 before the game was two minutes

old, and doubled it by the 10 minute mark. Sarah Forgie put New West on the scoreboard 11 minutes into the second half off a free kick, but the North Van rival replied quickly to make it 3-1.The third goal seemed to take the wind out of the Hyacks’ sails, and was followed by a couple more strikes to finish the game.

The year ended more like a

whimper than a bang, but the shards of the season had plenty of sparkle. Right from the start, when the program decided to create two teams to compete in the Burnaby-New West league, things looked promising. Along the way,the Hyacks captured a league banner.

“We went with two teams and it is something I’m very proud that the school was able to do,” said

coach Wayne McCarthy. “Argyle and Handsworth did it the other way and loaded up big rosters. I didn’t want to cut players when so many really wanted to play.

“Two teams instead of a larger roster may have hurt us with all the injuries this week but in retrospect, I don’t think I’d do it differently.”

Bellies begin year cold in loss to Adanacs

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

If they could, the New Westminster Salmonbellies would re-do their performance from Saturday’s season opener.

A cold start and a chillier second period resulted in New West falling 7-5 to the Coquitlam Adanacs to kick-off the Western Lacrosse Association season.

While they took a 2-1 lead into the middle frame, thanks to goals by Sean Lundstrom and Tyler Kirkby, the Bellies were out-scored 4-1 in the middle frame and struggled to create scoring chances against Coquitlam’s Dan Lewis.

By the time the Adanacs’ Matt Delmonico made it 6-4 just 3:57 into the third, with his team’s third powerplay marker, New West seemed out of gas.

“You win as a team and you lose as a team.

I thought we had a lot of good looks but we didn’t get enough goals as a team,” said captain Curtis Hodgson. “I thought we had some good transition opportunities but its hard to win when you score five goals.We need to be better in putting up some more goals and cleaning up some mental mistakes that gave Coquitlam some easy looks.”

Lundstrom finished with a pair of markers, while Ben Davies and Dane Sorenson rounded

out the offence.

Netminder Eric Penney turned aside 27 shots in the loss, while Lewis made 29 saves at the other end.

New West now turns its attention to tonight’s (Thursday) home opener, 7 p.m. against the Nanaimo Timbermen.

“I hope we won’t come out as flat as we did (Saturday), we were really flat coming out.We expect the guys to really be a lot more ready to play,” remarked coach Steve Goodwin.

All members of New West minor lacrosse, including family, get into the game for free, while minor Bellies players have a chance to win prizes in a home-opening raffle.

The New Westminster Secondary girls put on a show at the Burnaby-New Westminster-Richmond zone track and field championships.

Emily Chilton and Nina Schultz notched two golds apiece in the senior division, and joined forces with Grade 10 Grace Fetherstonhaugh and Ellery Hardy to add the women’s 4x400-metre relay, as the Hyacks girls placed secondoverall among 21 schools in competition.

Chilton, a Grade 11, topped the 400m race in a time of 1:00.8, two seconds ahead of her Richmond rival, then picked up the 800m title with a 2:30.70 time.

Schultz, who as a senior has already collected 13 provincial medals over the past three years, won the senior girls high jump, with a strong 1.78m jump, and the long jump, at 5.93m -- a full metre ahead of her nearest rival. “(Chilton) is seeded seventh in the province in the 400m, and she’s already competed at the senior level the past two years in relays, winning three golds, so she’s kind of got rid of any jitters,” said New Westminster coach Bryan McMaster.

“Nina is focusing on the heptathlon and is ranked 11th in the world at the youth level, so she definitely is in elite company,” he added.

As part of their 137.50 point total, the Hyacks girls team also got gold medal results from Fetherstonhaugh, who picked up comfortable wins in the junior women’s 1500m (5:01.40) and 3000m (10:07.50) races. Sarah Forgie collected the top distance in junior high jump, clearing 1.66m, while Brianna Bates posted a javeline throw of 37.86m to win the gold by a large margin.

Fetherstonaugh had already qualified for the B.C.s in the 1500m steeplechase, where she is the top seed.

“It’s her first year trying it,” said McMaster, “and she’s really taken to it. She has long legs and a strong stride. She’s just a machine.”

Earning a bronze medal were Ellery Hardy, who placed third in senior 800m, junior Michelle Li, in 3000m, Kaitlyn Hanger, in junior high jump, and Grade 8 Continued on page 47

Medal day for Griffins

Middle school racks up top-three results at zone meet

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Glenbrook Griffins went toe-to-toe with the big schools and did better than survive -- they thrived.

The New Westminster middle school posted the second-best overall tally for Grade 8 athletes at last week’s Burnaby-New WestRichmond zone track and field championships, hosted

by Burnaby Central.

The only school that outpointed them was Richmond’s McMath, which went on to capture the aggregate award.

Glenbrook’s Diego Meija and Owen Stark set the tone in the Grade 8 divi-

sion, as both scored double gold at the competition.

Meija walked off with the long jump title, leaping 5.08 metres, and followed that by topping the 400m dash in a time of 59.20 seconds. He would also add the bronze in 100m.

Stark won both the boys shot put, with a distance of 10m, and the javelin, with a toss of 25.98m.

VandaoYogyog picked up the top mark in triple jump, reaching a distance of 9.67m.

In a three-way tie for first in boys high jump was Lucas Burton, with a distance of 1.50m.

Collecting a gold in girls Grade 8 javelin was Glen-

brook’s Lauryn Savela, who pinned a distance of 29.47m. She also took a bronze in high jump.

Glenbrook’s boys 4x400m relay team also secured the best time in its event, just as the Griffins swept both gold and silver in girls 4x400m relay.

Picking up silver was Marlo Cabilin, who finished second in the boys 200m dash. Megan Lauener placed second in girls 100m, while Ella Fetherstonhaugh stood second in the Grade 8 girls 3000m.

Pushing for a medal were fourth place finishers Sydney Smith, in Grade 8 girls 1500m, and Emma Gruger, in triple jump.

Hyacks aim to send 15 to BCs

Continued from page 46 Emma Dolman, in 800m.

On the boys side, Matthew DheillySturrock stocked up on silver with secondplace results in both the senior men’s shot put (10.17m) and javelin (38.74m).

Ben Tjernagel pushed Burnaby Central’s Nathan Mah in both the senior 100and 200m dashes, crossing the finish line in 10.80 seconds and 22.10 seconds, respectively.

Finishing third in the senior 800m was Tim Wriglesworth.

McMaster said of the 30 or so athletes who competed at the district level, 15 have qualified for provincials.

Some of that growth is a result of the successes posted the past few years by sprinter Raquel Tjernagel, an NWSS alum and freshman at the University of Texas,

and Schultz.

“We were hoping that the successes of Nina and Raquel would create more interest and we’ve seen that,” said McMaster. “(Schultz) would love to break the provincial record for heptathlon in her final year, and with what she’s accomplished already you can’t dismiss it.”

McMaster said among the up-and-coming talents, Bates, who will compete in junior girls javelin and pole vault, Dolman, in Grade 8 200m hurdles, and Grade 10 Josh Filafilo, in senior boys sprints and hurdles, are athletes who head to the B.C.s with great potential.

The B.C. track and field combined events will be run May 27 and 28 in Surrey, while the majority of events will be held June 2 to 4 in Nanaimo.
