SCHOOL DISTRICT BYELECTION

Close race, but Lalji wins trustee seat

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The people have spoken – Mary Lalji is the newest school board trustee for New Westminster.

Lalji, who ran as an independent and may be best known in the community for her work with the Hyack football and cheerleading programs, won the twocandidate byelection race with 959 votes, according

to the city’s preliminary results. (Official results were not available before the Record press deadline Wednesday.)

“I’m really very happy,” she told the Record Monday. “It’s almost like a people’s win.”

Opponent Dee Beattie, who was leading for the first four out of nine polls, wrapped up the byelection only 60 votes behind Lalji.

Beattie finished with 899

votes, according to preliminary results.

“I didn’t count that I had this in the bag from the beginning,” Beattie told the Record. “It was very exciting. I’m very excited that I had the opportunity to do this.”

Beattie said despite the tight loss, it was a great experience and one of the best things she’s ever done, and residents can count on seeing her on the campaign

back in 2018.”

When asked what she thought of her opponent, Lalji had only kind things to say, noting that Beattie stopped her at Sunday’s Sapperton Day street fest to congratulate her.

“She was really gracious.

She actually came up to me on Sunday and just said congratulations, and I wish I would have had a little more time just to chat with her,” said Lalji, who

was at the festival working on behalf of Key West Ford.

As for next steps, Lalji has already been in touch with school district staff and will be sworn in at the next school board meeting onTuesday, June 28 at the district’s new office at 811 Ontario St. (at Royal Avenue and Eighth Street above Simcoe Park). From that Continued on page 6

Up Front URBAN NOISE

Deadline looming on railway petition

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster MP Peter Julian believes all Canadians have a right to a good night’s sleep.

Julian tabled Bill C-218, the Railway Noise and Vibration Control Act in the House of Commons.The bill would prohibit railway companies from engaging in noisy activities close to residential areas from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., Monday to Friday and at any time on Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays.

The deadline to sign an e-petition in support of Bill C-218 is at 8:14 a.m. EST on Saturday, June 18. Names and contact information of people who sign the e-petition are confidential and the House of Commons deletes the information once Julian presents it in Parliament.

As of June 14, 378 people had signed Julian’s e-petition, which can be found at peti tions.parl.gc.ca and search for Railway Noise and Vibration Control Act. The petition states that the idling, sorting, coupling and decoupling and shunting of trains in rail yards, and the increasing ground vibration levels due to trains passing at high speed near residential areas, creates an incredible amount of noise and disruption as well as health concerns for residents living near the tracks. It goes on to say the federal government needs to properly regulate railway noise activities to allow communities to get the proper rest, sleep and sense of security and wellbeing they require.

“Sometimes you think it’s a warzone,” said Quayside resident David Prasad of the train noise. “Sometimes you can be quietly watching TV or reading and it’s like an explosion.”

Meals on wheels Food trucks could soon be dishing out food at a variety of locations in New West.

On June 20, council will consider a mobile food vending bylaw that would allow food trucks to operate at a number of on-street locations. Locations proposed for food trucks include: the downtown (Columbia, Front and Carnarvon streets); Ewen Avenue in Queensborough (between Jardine and Hampton streets); East Columbia Street (between Sherbrooke and Braid streets, and between Keary and Hospital streets); 12th Street (between Sixth and 10th avenues); uptown (Belmont Street, and Sixth Street between Eighth and Fourth avenues); the Tipperary Park parking lot; and the parking space in front of Steel & Oak Brewing Company at 1319 Third Ave. The bylaw being considered would not permit food trucks to be located within 100 metres of a restaurant serving similar cuisine.

The public hearing is set for Monday, June 20 at 6 p.m. in council chambers.

‘We’re not done fighting’ NewWest Pride Society holds vigil for victims of Orlando shooting

By Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Tears were shed and candles were lit on Sunday night as more than 60 people gathered for a vigil at the city’s rainbow crosswalk to mourn the lives lost in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Omar Mateen walked into a LGBT nightclub in Orlando, Fla. with an assault rifle and a handgun and killed 49 people, according to local authorities. Fifty-three other patrons were injured. Mateen, 29, was killed by police.

Mike Tiney, president of the New West Pride Society, told the Record, the tragedy is a stark reminder why pride events are still needed.

“Every time the pride parade comes around and the pride festivals come around, a bunch of people come out and say, ‘We know that you guys are gay.

We’ve dealt with it. Let’s move on.’

“We’re there to celebrate how far the community has come over the last 50 years, but there’s also a need to still educate people and still promote equality and acceptance, because it’s events like this that show them we’re not there.

We’re not done fighting,” he said, adding he had planned a speech before arriving to the vigil, but when it came time to deliver it, he just couldn’t get the words out.

Past society president Jeremy Perry echoed the same sentiments.

“There are many people out there who fear for their safety who deal with hatred from their families or from workplaces, and feel they’re not accepted for who they are,” he explained. “Things like pride festivals help raise that awareness and ensure that that conversation continues, and we slowly get more and more people realizing it’s OK for people to be themselves.”

Perry added the turnout for the vigil, at Columbia and Church streets, was “amazing,” one that represented a “mix of the community.”

“There were all ages, all genders, all sexualities; there were community leaders, we had the mayor, the MLA, the school board chair, (Jonina Campbell).

We had leaders from the church, there were people of all abilities, just coming together.”

Campbell, a longtime advocate of the LGBT community, was at a family dinner with her cousins, one of who is gay.

She said he felt it was important for him to attend the event.

“This is a reality for him. He’s often talked about his sense of personal safety, sometimes out in the community,” Campbell said. “This is a reality locally as well – you can be at a nightclub in Vancouver and sometimes, this is something you’re paying attention to, to your environment, because stuff can happen.”

The school board chair said one of the things that stood out from last year’s New West pride festival was how safe people felt on the street.

“I saw people walking around proudly, holding hands, kissing, dressing in ways that you would not normally see on an average day in New West or anywhere.

People came out in a way that they knew that they were safe. … It was a really powerful statement, to show that they don’t feel like that everyday,” she said.

“So we need to do more to make that message really visible on a daily basis, so that people feel like they can get up and they don’t have to worry that day.”

Rainbow colours will light up Anvil Centre The Royal City is standing in solidarity with victims of the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla. City officials have made arrangements for the rainbow-coloured lights to once again light up Anvil Centre.

“There were so many people across our community that were just feeling in a dark place yesterday after hearing the terrible, tragic news,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said at Monday night’s council meeting.

“It was really wonderful for the community to come together, to be able to talk, to be able to hug, to be able to feel connected.”

Cote said it’s important that the community show its solidarity with the LGBT community.While he feels society has taken many steps forward for human rights and gay and lesbian rights over the years, Cote said incidents like the Orlando shooting feel like taking a step back-

wards.

“We need to continue the fight,” he said.

Council had a moment of silence at its Monday night meeting, not only to mourn the losses and tragedies families are experiencing in Florida, but to stand in solidarity with everyone in the LGBT community.

rorschach/sentinel is based on a profile of a large merchant ship that was vital to the Allied war effort. Such ships docked at the New Westminster port and contributed to the labour history and economic development of the city.

The artwork also refers to the iconic Rorschach test. The contemplation of ‘found’ images and patterns, edited in some way – by selection, placement, juxtaposition - alters meaning, each of us selecting and interpreting what we see.

Please join us for the official unveiling of rorschach/sentinel an on June 29 at 4:30pm at the median on Columbia Street. Artists will be in attendance. Light refreshments will be served.

City Beat NEW WEST SCHOOL DISTRICT

4.05 per cent of voters marked byelection ballots

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Of the 45,865 eligible voters registered to vote in last Saturday’s byelection, only 1,859 actually cast a ballot, according to city staff.

These numbers reflect all 1,858 ballots counted (there was one spoiled ballot) during both advanced voting days, June 1 and 4, as well as the general voting day on Saturday, June 11, according to Philip Lo, deputy chief election officer for the City of New Westminster.

The turnout amounts to 4.05 per cent, compared to the 32.5 per cent seen during the 2014 municipal election.While the turnout may seem low, New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote wasn’t surprised.

“School trustee byelections tend to have low voter turnouts, and this election this past weekend was no exception. I talked to a lot of people over the last few weeks and it was clear the election wasn’t generating a lot of interest or excitement in the community, which is disappointing but not surprising,” he told the Record Monday.

Trustee-elect Mary Lalji agreed, noting that some provincial byelections see fewer than 1,000 voters.

“Considering it was (for) school board trustee, I thought it was pretty good.You can always do better, no doubt, but it is a byelection,” she said, adding that she’s spoken to an MLA who ran in a byelection where only 800 people

voted.

But no matter how many people show up to vote in a byelection, the school district is still on the hook for the cost of putting it on.

The city, whose staff actually administer the byelection, estimated prior to voting day that the byelection would cost the school dis-

Community Have your say on future of the Pattullo Bridge Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

NewWest residents are encouraged to have a say in how local roads connect to the new Pattullo Bridge.

TransLink is holding an open house for the Pattullo Bridge replacement project on Saturday, June 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sapperton Pensioners Hall, 318 Keary St. It’s inviting community members stop provide input on connections in NewWestminster and Surrey that are being considered as part of the Pattullo Bridge replacement project.

“We are moving into the next phase of the Pattullo Bridge discussions.We had the important agreement signed earlier this year between the City of Surrey and TransLink that has allowed the project to take the next step,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “Now that we have an agreement roughly on where the bridge is going to be located, its size and things like that, we are now getting into the details on how the bridge is going to interact with both our communities.”

A decision has already been made to replace the existing Pattullo Bridge and its approaches with a new four-lane, tolled and expanded bridge.The new crossing would be located

just north and upstream of the existing bridge.

“I think this is an important discussion for the community to get involved with.The city definitely would like to see the Pattullo Bridge integrate with our road network, keeping in mind that we have a very urban and built-out community.You can’t put in the same highway type of bridge interchanges that you might be able to fit in on the Surrey side.What I have seen so far,TransLink is actually done a really good job to understand the road network we have here,” the mayor added.

At the open house,TransLink will be seeking feedback about the two different options being considered for connections to the bridge.

“At this time the city

doesn’t have a preference,” Cote said. “The city has certainly given a lot of comments and feedback in the lead-up to the design of those two options.The options are similar, but they do have a different connection.

One is a lot closer to the existing McBride connection.The other option really straightens out McBride and makes it a more direct route to the new bridge.”

Along with the open houses,TransLink is also having smaller meetings with various stakeholders. It will host another round of consultations in the fall.

“We’d like to get as many people out as possible,” said Chris Bryan, a media relations adviser at TransLink.

“We want to hear people’s input so we can inform our decision making.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

The price of democracy – $32 per ballot Byelections usually have low voter turnouts.

It’s understandable.

There’s usually less awareness, less “buzz,” and, of course, one seat isn’t going to change a government or, usually, change the balance of power in government.

So, it’s probably not surprising that Saturday’s school board byelection saw only four per cent of eligible voters turn out.

But it could have been worse.

There was considerable effort to get the vote out.

The mayor and other labour-endorsed politicians and the city’s NDP MLA and MP were part of a robo-call campaign that should have bumped up the turnout a bit. And the winning candidate’s sports community connections certainly would have increased participation.

Excuses varied from those who didn’t get out and vote.

Someone said they didn’t

know there was a byelection.There’d been little to signify one. Really? That person must have been binge-watching Netflix to have missed the election signs,Twitter and Facebook banter, and, of course, ads and stories in the Record. Another said since he didn’t have kids in the system, so he didn’t feel that he had any investment in who made the decisions in the school district. One person pointed out to that individ-

ual that he indeed did have an investment – his tax dollars. But aside from the pecuniary interest, he also is part of a larger society that values education and relies on it.

Others may not have turned out because the new high school had just been announced the week before.

What was a burning issue in the community moved quickly to a back burner.

Voter turnout is an interesting mix of emotion and

science.

Most voters are older, own their own homes and/ or feel they may be directly impacted by the government. More public sector workers turn out to vote than private sector workers.

Perhaps they feel the impact of government policies much more directly, and, perhaps, they are also more familiar with political environments.

Now, all of this may be turned on its head when the

economy turtles, or scandals occur, and everybody feels a lot more invested in how the government is running things. So, perhaps city and school district officials could take the low turnout as a vote of confidence?

In any case, just remember this little byelection cost around $60,000 to put on.

That’s about $32 per vote.

Is that a bargain price for democracy, or too rich?

It’s an interesting question.

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

Lessons of love and oppression I cringe at what I am about to type. But it’s true.

I expected a killer – home grown in the U.S. or foreign supported – to do what was done in Orlando this past weekend. In fact, a hate crime of such proportions was probably overdue.

We’re an easy target.

Somewhat still acceptable to discriminate against. Our campaigns for equality have made many folks uncomfortable and some feel truly threatened. Certainly many religions are still used as an excuse for the oppression.

And the progress made during the last decade, in my opinion, has made a backlash inevitable.

Change doesn’t come easy. And it doesn’t come without losses – small ones and sometimes, tragically, horrific life and death ones.

The LGBT community is not unique in this experience. No oppressed minority (or even an oppressed majority such as women) escapes a life-wrenching test or two, or many more, as we try to make a place for ourselves in the ruler’s house.

In fact, a part of me believes that you know you’re making progress when you get attacked. But that doesn’t make it easier to take, and it certainly leaves scars.

I have experienced threats, been denied basic human rights (yes, I predate the human rights commission and its protections for sexual orientation), received numerous insults – intended or otherwise.

But what I have learned from being a minority and

an oppressed majority I wouldn’t trade for all of the privilege in the world.

Nothing has taught me more about courage, love, tenacity and optimism than being oppressed. Nothing has shown me more of the goodness and kindness of human beings. I would not have discovered the almost limitless potential for people to re-examine their prejudices when they are given time and compassion. I would not have known how to be a better ally to the ones I oppress – wittingly or unwittingly.

Nothing has taught me more about courage, love, tenacity and optimism than being oppressed

Seeing the citizens of New Westminster gather Sunday night at a rainbow crosswalk to show their solidarity and grieve together brought it all home to me once again. It reminded me, as always, that you are never truly in the minority when you stand together.Yes, love does win. And, yes, sometimes it is a long and painful process. But it is worth it.

Why do parents care so little about their children’s schools?

Readers weigh in on trustee byelection and low voter turnout

Dear Editor I am addressing this letter to all parents in New West who have children and grandchildren in the New West school system.

Why do you care so little about who has the say in your children’s education? Were you really so busy that you didn’t have time to go and vote?

If you were away Were you really couldyou have so busy that you voted in the didn’t have time advance polls. When to go vote?

I read that only 1,800 voted in this election I was appalled.

I read in articles how upset people are about the schools in New West, but where are you on election day? True that this will go to full election in 2018, but there is still time in this term for a lot of work to be done.

As a person who has never missed a vote I want to thank all of those who took the time to vote and I hope that those of you who didn’t vote will think hard about going out to vote in the next election. Congratulations to the winner of this election.

Susan Longva, New Westminster

Who’s going to keep the schools clean now?

Dear Editor Regarding the layoff notices given to day shift custodians in the New West schools, I wonder who will be cleaning up after a child vomits on the desk or floor at 10 a.m., or will the teacher and students have to bear the smell until 3 p.m.?

Or perhaps, the teacher will be cleaning up the mess as well as ensuring rodent feces are removed from desks, etc. each morning before the students enter class.

Perhaps the extra manager that was hired recently for the maintenance facilities department could assist.

Jill Mountain, New Westminster

Byelection result was a call for change Dear Editor The byelection win last week by an independent candidate over a candidate endorsed and supported by the full might of pro-government coalition is truly remarkable.

This was the first New Westminster local byelection in over half a century. The voters, as we can see, took this rare voting opportunity seriously.

I hope our government – school board and city council – will take the byelection result as a request for serious changes in the way the city and school district serve the needs of city’s citizens, parents and students.

Sherry Joel right about the turn out.... the citizens of this city complain loudly about new schools ect but they can not be bothered to turn out to elect the people that can make progess for the schools that they claim are so important to them. Really people get out there some people die for this right!!! Very proud of the people that expressed thier will. Congrats Mary!!!

Trish Webster I don’t get out much, so didn’t see the lawn signs, did not notice social media about voting dates and places, don’t have twitter. They used to put flyers in your mail box, that I would have seen.

Harm Woldring The fabric of society means no single method works. To me and for me, this shows that those of us who are interested in real Progress for our community outnumber the complacent who only turn out when their tenuous grip on power are truly at risk.

Antone Minard I was really expecting something in the mail, like information on where to vote! I knew an election was coming, but foolishly assumed that voters would be told where to go as with the national election.

Melanie Adams It was not at all a wellpublicized byelection. Not much in the local paper (I read it every week) and very little on social media.

Dave Lundy Just to reiterate... I’m calling BS on this notion that the by election wasn’t that well publicized.

If you read the Record, or follow the record on facebook or any civically engaged person in New West, if you follow civic goings on in New West, you would have been aware of this by election. From the time Mortensen didn’t show up for 8 months to her resigning the seat, The Record has covered this story, as well as the city put out the required notices in the paper under the City Page thing as well. …

Has anyone stopped to consider that it was perceived as being low key, because 1) it was a byelection and not a general election, and 2) it is June.... and 3) maybe certain factions in this city were banking on a low turnout to squeak their candidate through (and weren’t successful in that endeavor) by keeping it supposedly low key.

nutritional awareness day The 4 w’s of healthy eating

Pooch potty OK’d for downtown Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Local pooches will soon have a proper place to poop on Columbia Street.

With more and more dogs living in downtown condos, the city has decided to install a dog relief station at the southeast corner of Begbie and Columbia streets.The station will be installed as part of a oneyear trial project.

The city’s plan is to cre-

ate a small relief area in part of a space that’s currently home to a garden bed, with roses to remain and contribute to the esthetics of the corner.The relief area, which would have an artificial turf that’s specifically designed for this type of dog use, would have a fence around three sides.

A staff report notes that the relief station isn’t intended to be a place for people to exercise or socialize their dogs, but a place where the

pooches can relieve themselves – instead of doing their business on sidewalks, streets, gardens or other public areas. Dog owners are expected to clean up after their dogs.

Mayor Jonathan Cote said dog waste has become a growing issue in downtown NewWestminster.

“There is definitely a lot of hazards there,” he said.

“For those not paying attention it can be quite dangerous.”

JayYoung, the city employee who oversees dog facilities, said the city will install a bag dispenser as it does in its off-leash areas.

He said artificial turf seems to be working well at dog relief stations in other areas.

Coun. LorrieWilliams, who owns dogs, said she has artificial turf in her backyard. “It works out very well.”

The city estimates it will cost $8,000 to build.

Lawyer makes a case for shopping local Dale Darychuk moved his business to NewWestminster so he could walk to work. Now he’s walking his talk

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster lawyer is forgoing a summer getaway as part of a buy-local campaign.

After 30 years in Port Coquitlam, Dale Darychuk recently relocated his law firm to a heritage building in downtown New Westminster so he could walk to work.

Starting this month, he’s going a step further by embarking on a quest to shop local for a year.

“My program for the next year is to buy all of my services and all my goods in New Westminster, and to blog and tell people about that, and get other people, hopefully, interested in committing to doing that as well,” he said.

“I already have my doctor, my dentist and my massage therapist, etc. here, but I will be buying all my food, all my recreation and entertainment here in New Westminster.”

Having lived in New West since 1987, Darychuk is already familiar with many local businesses, but he’s excited about the prospect of discovering new places to shop and do business.

“I hope it won’t be too challenging – I hope it will be illuminating and exciting,” he said. “I really think New Westminster deserves that attention. I want to favour the businesses that are here already, but also encourage others to come here.”

Darychuk is launching his #IBuyNewWest campaign on June 24 at the grand

opening of his new law office in the Hart Block. During the next year he’ll be blogging about his experience and highlighting some local businesses at www. ibuynewwest.com and connecting with the community via Facebook and Twitter.

“I’d like to spread the word about people I think are doing good jobs here,” he said. “I am not a critic. I want to be a bit of a booster for the people who are here.”

In addition to highlighting local offerings, Darychuk wants to explore businesses not offered in New

West that residents would like to see set up in the city.

The one thing Darychuk would like to see open in the city is a nice wine bar.

“I am looking forward to exploring what’s out there and talking about it and finding out from other people as well,” he said.

When relocating his law practice to New Westminster, Darychuk used local businesses to move and set up his new office, right down to the painting on his wall by local artist Susan Tamkin – which happens

to be of the sunflowers on the boulevard in front of his house.You can’t get much closer to home than that.

Darychuk’s wife will be visiting their daughters and vacationing in Ontario’s cottage country this summer, but he’ll be having a staycation right here in the Royal City.

“I think I’ll take up fishing again,” he said. “I see

lots of people fishing on the river.That used to be a favourite recreation of mine.”

Darychuk is getting mixed reactions from people when he mentions his #IBuyNewWest campaign.

“I go to fitness classes – there’s a lady there who says, ‘That’s fantastic.’ I met a lawyer who was doing mediation with me from Kelowna – he says,

‘You won’t be spending much money.’ I don’t think he knows New West at all.

Most people are encouraging.The seniors I meet say ‘we do that anyways.’ It’s a real range,” he said.

“I want to explore New West and find out these places that sell things I need. I’m looking for a furnace now, so I’m looking for a local supplier.That’s a

major purchase but I want to stick to my guns, and if at all possible purchase it in New West.

The City of New Westminster wants your input on the renewal of Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre.

The pool, built in 1973, and the community centre, constructed in 1967, are set to be renewed.

“We are at the very early stages of that redevelopment plan, but we have made the big decision to build a replacement pool and to keep the facility on the same locate,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said. “Now we want to engage the community and say, ‘What do you want this facility to be into the future?’”

The city has hired HCMA Architecture and Design to facilitate aYour Active New West public engagement process, which includes an online survey, an open house, consultation with stakeholders and several engagement opportuni-

ties at community events in the summer.

Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said the city wants to make sure the new pool reflects the values of the community.

“We want to hear from all members of the community, both users and non-users, to share their feedback and help form a vision for the future of these facilities,” he said.

A press release from the city states that both facilities have been identified as being in a “state of decline.”

“Our major goal in this is to make this project federal grant ready by the end of the year,” Cote said. “It’s still unknown at this point what opportunities are going to exist, but it’s our understanding it’s going to be a significant community component of next year’s federal budget and we want to make sure we are prepared and ready to take advantage of that.”

Lisa Spitale, the city’s chief administrative officer, said council has allocated $200,000 towards the planning work, which is in the preliminary stages.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the survey included a section asking people to pick a number of items listed that they’d like to see in the facility, such as indoor cycling and an indoor running track.

“We already know that we are really scraping to make this happen without having a huge exposure to the taxpayer,” he said. “I am troubled when we start asking those kinds of questions.”

Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city genuinely wants to hear from community members.

“We are not going to be able to afford everything on that list, but I think it is important to understand where the community priorities are,” he said.

The long boozy history of New West drink New exhibit in the city delves deeper into the relationship of alcohol with the Royal City

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

From whisky for Fraser gold rush miners to fancy flights of craft beer for today’s hipsters, the Royal City has a long and storied history of drink, and New Westminster Museum and Archives plans to tell the tale during a new exhibit next year.

The idea grew out of the museum’s large collection of vintage bottles, says curator Oana Capota, and out of oral histories the museum collected between 2012 and 2015 for its waterfront exhibit.

“I met with a lot of the longshoremen,” Capota said of the waterfront research, “and something that always came up was that New West was a lot of fun in the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.

There was basically a pub crawl route you could take through New West, and we got interested in that.”

The museum started

some preliminary research on the topic of drink about a year ago, looking at 19thcentury newspapers.

“Sure enough, there were just dozens and dozens of pubs and saloons,” Capota said.

One of the earliest photos of a drinking establishment researchers found was of The Retreat, a Sapperton saloon established in 1865 (the same year historic Irving House was built).

A newspaper ad a few years later proclaimed the establishment was well known for its good liquors and cigars and was “pleasantly situated within twenty minutes walk of the city” with a good skittle alley (for a type of bowling) and quoiting grounds (for a game like horseshoes but with iron rings).

“It was pretty much the wilderness back then for a lot of people,” Capota said of Sapperton during that time. “People were just starting to build some prop-

erties over there.”

But the first watering holes in New West likely predated The Retreat, Capota said, to service miners headed to and from gold fields in the Fraser Canyon during the Fraser gold rush

I met with a lot of longshoremen that started in 1857.

“I think they were one of the first businesses to open up,” Capota said.

On a household level, Italian immigrants in Queensborough later imported grape vines, and Russian-Canadians made vodka and a beverage local kids called potato champagne.

As New West grew into a busy shipping terminal, local pubs and bars and saloons serviced a steady stream of sailors and long-

shoremen, tainting some haunts with less than savoury reputations.

“The Russell Hotel’s name came up,” said Capota about a conversation with a New West resident who came to the city from the prairies as a young woman in the 1960s and spent her first night at the Russell, unaware of its reputation. “She wouldn’t tell me what was shady about it, but I know it was. I’ve heard that place mentioned.”

Capota said the museum hasn’t collected any really bad stories about specific local drinking establishments, but researchers are on the lookout for them.

“A lot of people are kind of shy to put things on record,” she said, “so we’re always looking for anybody who’ll go on record telling us about stuff.”

City Beat A city that’s always loved its alcohol Continued from page 18 who have had family stories passed down about forebears who either owned or ran or really just enjoyed patronizing local watering holes.

And researchers don’t intend to shy away from the darker side of alcohol consumption either, or attempts by temperance organizations to stop it (attempts that more or less succeeded during B.C.’s years of prohibition between 1917 and 1921).

The exhibit will also include a look at New West’s drinking culture today, including not just pubs and bars, but coffeehouses, bubble tea shops, and juiceries as well.

SFU sociology and anthropology students started helping the museum with that part of the research last month as part of an advanced class taught by SFU anthropology professor Pamela Stern.

“I am very happy to have this opportunity to work with the New West Museum,” Stern said. “So many of the assignments university students do

are artificial, created just for their practice, and that is fine.

But when learning how to do social science research, students learn more easily when they to know that someone will be able to make use of the work.”

To hone their ethnographic research skills, the students started conducting interviews with business owners and others who have knowledge about making, selling, and consuming beverages in New Westminster, past and present.

During the summer, students also hope to meet and talk with people who remember some of the city’s former watering holes, people who worked at the former Labatt’s plant, and groups who make and consume their own beverages.

ASK A LICENSED INSOLVENCY TRUSTEE

Q

I am unemployed and have credit card debt. The debt is solely in my name. My spouse has been able to carry everything but these cards. If I file a consumer proposal what happens to the house?

A

The effect of your filing on your house will depend on a couple of items. If the house is solely in your spouse’s name – then there is no effect, she continues the mortgage payments and keeps the house. If the house is either jointly owned or 100% in your name, then in most cases you will be able to settle (pay) the Licensed Insolvency Trustee your share of equity in order to retain the house. The answer becomes more complex if you owe CRA for taxes. Make an appointment with us to review your situation in detail and explain how the process affects your assets DAVID WOOD Licensed Insolvency Trustee, CIRP

ASK AN INSURANCE SPECIALIST

Q

How can young drivers build discount on Car Insurance?

A

The earlier they get their drivers licence the better.

SOLVI STOKHOLM From the day they get their licence they start building discounts by holding a BC drivers licence. Even if they don’t drive a lot or own a car the discount will build 5% per year to a maximum of 43% after 9 years of holding a BC drivers licence, with no accidents. For us that has driven for a few years it is important to review the car insurance documents every year to make sure all the information is correct. Once you have held a drivers licence for 10 years you could qualify for a further discount with ICBC. Another way to save is to call us to get a comparison quote on Private Auto, you will get great coverage, features & you could save on your car Insurance!

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

Q

Why do I need to wear sunglasses whenever I’m in the sun?

A

The sun’s UV rays contribute to eye-related diseases such as cataracts, macular DR. S. BACHRA degeneration and corneal sunburn Co-Owner & Chief Optometrist (photokeratitis) which causes temporary vision loss. UVA rays essentially can hurt your central vision and can damage part of the retina of your eye, while UVB rays are absorbed by the front part of your eye - the cornea and lens. Your eyes receive most damage when under the sun, and so people under the age of 18 are most at risk to receive long term damage to their eyes if not well protected. Sunglasses are vital when it comes to protecting your vision health! So make sure to wear them often!

ASK A GHOST REMOVAL EXPERT

Q A

How do I know if I really have a Ghost in my house?

You may have a Ghost if you finally sit down in your house at the end of a perfectly good day and all you feel is negative and depressed. Or, if your kids wake DR. JAYNE GIBSON up screaming from nightmares every night, or, when your pet refuses to go upstairs and just stands at the bottom, barking. If you feel like you’re not alone, the energy is always heavy, you experience cold spots, and could swear you’ve been touched by unseen hands. These are all symptoms of having a Ghost in your house. Ghosts are very real and they don’t belong in your home! If you suspect you have a Ghost, you can contact me for a free consultation. If you have a Ghost, it can be cleared and you can have your quiet, comfy home, back again.

Community OUR PAST

Stories of schools past Archie and Dale Miller editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A school board byelection and the announcement of the replacement of New Westminster Secondary School have focused a lot of attention on schools in New Westminster over the past couple of weeks. During the same period, we were involved with a small but intriguing “school project,” which was accomplished through the cooperation of Richard McBride School in Sapperton.

These education-based events have generated quite a number of inquiries over the past month regarding the schools of this town – early ones, changes, names, related occurrences and so on. All are interesting bits of local history. A few areas that have been drawing attention include the following.

While the name John Robson will not be back on the new school on Eighth Street between Royal and Queens, it is true that there

were multiple John Robson schools over the years.There was the recent one situated where the new school is being built and a couple of others.There was another in the centre of the block where the Royal Towers Hotel stood, and yet another at the top of that same block on Queens Avenue.

Another question concerned the story of an old jail that had once been a school.This is very true.

The provincial jail, built in the mid-1880s, was situated on Ontario Street near Royal Avenue at Eighth Street.When the jail closed down, the building was converted to T.J.Trapp Technical School. It is worth remembering that when more space was needed at that school, an annex was built, which in time became the recently demolished John Robson School.

In Sapperton there were two schools, not counting the one at the Royal Engineers’ camp, before Richard McBride was constructed.

The first was an old build-

T 21S

ing on Hospital Street that was turned into a school and the second was a couple of blocks below Columbia, at the corner of Major and Fader streets.

In terms of loss in the schools of NewWestminster, three schools in this city suffered serious loss through major fires – F.W. Howay in Massey Heights, Queen Elizabeth School in Queensborough and Richard McBride in Sapperton.

One school that is frequently forgotten was located near Moody Park close to another school.The two schools, both large and prominent, were Lord Kelvin and Lord Lister. Over the years the schools were changed and renewed with the present Lord Kelvin continuing the name.

And while there are many other things that could be included in this brief look, we should at least note that the city’s first formal school was built in 1865. So, would you have passed a pop quiz on the schools of NewWestminster?

The Royal City Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of New Westminster invite you to participate in the 21st Annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament on July 12th at Mayfair Lakes Golf Club. Over the past 20 years, this event has raised over $420,000 for local charities. Over $33,000 was raised from last year’s tournament alone. The Rotary Clubs’ principal focus has been on funding programs for youth in New Westminster, and we will continue to promote them. Again this year, the two local Rotary Clubs will also donate a portion of the net proceeds to Salvation Army (New Westminster) and the Lower Mainland Purpose Society (an alternate education facility) to further their valuable work with youth facing their own challenges in the community. We believe we need to invest in our youth, since they are our future.

Past tournaments have been sold out. We hope to repeat that success this year.

at Bard on the Beach from June 17 to Sept. 24.

Director Johnna Wright has reimagined the classic comedy, setting it in 1968 in Windsor, Ont., where everyone has gathered at the Garter Inn on a Friday night.There, Sir John Fal-

staff (Ashley Wright) confides his plans to seduce and swindle Mistress Ford (Amber Lewis) and Mistress Page – but he quickly becomes ensnared in a revenge plot by the two women. Along the way, they’re surrounded by the usual Shakespearean mayhem – with young love, rejected suitors, a jealous husband, and all the hilarity that en-

sues around them.

The show runs in preview June 17, 19, 21, 22 and 23, with opening night Friday, June 24 at 7:30 p.m.

It’s playing in repertory with Romeo and Juliet on the BMO Mainstage at Vanier Park.

Tickets start at $20 and can be reserved at 604-7390559 or through www.bard onthebeach.org.

Plenty of summer fun to be had in city FAMILY TIES

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy – unless you have bored kids on your hands, in which case it may make you crazy.

Never fear, New West has plenty on offer for families and kids of all ages. Here are a few of the upcoming happenings we’ve found for you: GET READING Raise a reader by getting them started young – and there’s no better way to celebrate literacy than by joining the New Westminster Public Library’s Summer Reading Club.

Kids aged three to 11 can sign up, and they can earn stickers and other prizes by reading at least 15 minutes a day.Those who complete seven weeks of reading can earn a summer reading medal, presented at the club’s closing ceremony in September.

Summer Reading Club kicks off June 22 at both branches (uptown and Queensborough), with a party from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Check out www.nwpl. ca for all the details.

And don’t worry, teens haven’t been forgotten – there’s also a Teen Summer Reading Club for the 12- to 18-year-old crowd, and registration also starts on June 22. Find out more at the library’s website or call 604527-4677.

CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL The Queensborough Children’s Festival is always a hit, and this year’s edition is set for Saturday, June 18 from noon to 3 p.m.

The fifth annual event includes interactive play, crafts, live entertainment, food and more, and the fun goes rain or shine.

It’s free, so be sure to drop in to Ryall Park (outside the Queensborough Community Centre at 920 Ewen Ave.) to join in.

BRING YOUR BABY BOOK CLUB If you’re a new mom or dad and you’re home with an infant or toddler, this one’s ideal – the New Westminster Public Library runs

a regular BringYour Baby Book Club, meaning mom and dad get time out for adult conversation but don’t have to worry about finding care for the kidlets.

Bring your small human (suggested age is up to 24 months) and come ready to discuss The Rosie Project,

by Graeme Simsion.The next session is on Tuesday, June 21 at 1 p.m. at the Anvil Centre.

Register at 604-527-4667 or email askus@nwpl.ca.

GET READY FOR HIGH SCHOOL If there’s a young person in your house who’s getting ready to start at NWSS in the fall, be sure to check this one out.

The New Westminster Public Library is hosting a special information session, How to Transition to New Westminster Secondary School, on Friday, June 24 from 10 a.m. to noon., to help young teens feel more prepared for the new world that awaits them.

To register or for more details, call the library at 604-527-4667 or email askus@nwpl.ca or contact Maniya Rafiei, settlement worker at New West schools, at 778-628-0111.

CULTURAL EXPLORATION If your family hasn’t checked out one of the free ArtStarts workshops at River Market yet, this month would be a great time to start.The next in the monthly workshop series is set for Sunday, June 26, with sessions at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

This month’s featured artist is Fana Soro, who’ll lead an interactive workshop that explores the social and cultural significance of West African instruments and music. It’s aimed at kids aged five and up, but everyone is welcome.

You don’t need to preregister – just drop on in to River Market at 810 Quayside Dr. Check out www. artstarts.com/weekend or www.rivermarket.ca for more details.

Is it the City of NewWestminster’s responsibility to tell event organizers the calendar is full and they’ll have to pick another date for a festival?

That’s a question the city has been grappling with in the past years, as organizers of some longstanding events have voiced concerns about other festivals being held on the same weekend or the same day.The city’s festivals committee and city council have discussed whether it’s city hall’s responsibility to tell groups a certain date is off-limits even if there are

no impacts on city services like policing, engineering or parks.

“If we can have a variety of events that appeal to a broad range of residents in the city, that’s what we want,” said Diane Perry, the city’s manager of community development. “We all need to be open to everybody’s events. Everybody’s events are important. I think we are a small city, but we are a very active city. Everybody wants to have an event. Unfortunately, there are only so many weekends in the summer if we are going to have an event.”

Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city understands there

are “sensitivities” related to having events in similar time frames but also struggles with giving one group a complete monopoly over a particular date.

“I think the challenge we face is we are a growing city and obviously there is a growing demand for different events to happen.

The last thing we want to be doing is not allowing new events to start or grow because a certain date is forever reserved for a particular group,” he said. “I think we were sensitive to that and we certainly want to make sure that one event isn’t undermining another event.

Having said that, I think

that locking up entire weekends and cutting off days for events that aren’t really related or are in different parts of the city might not fully be necessary.”

The city has appointed a staff person to deal with street festivals and another to deal with festivals in parks, with the idea being to have “one-stop shopping” for festival organizers.

Cote believes there’s room in NewWestminster for neighbourhood festivals like Sapperton Day, as well as more regional draws like the food truck festival and Uptown Live.

“I actually think the City of NewWestminster does

scale, than any other municipality in MetroVancouver,” he said.

more to support street festivals, whether they be more local neighbourhood community-oriented or larger

Fan Fest, Quayside fest among cancelled events this year Continued from page 33 recent high-profile event failures and cancellations, organizers said it would be irresponsible to risk its fans’ resources and goodwill by hosting an event that would have been below its standards and attendees’ expec-

tations.

In a letter posted on its website on May 4, the GZero Racing Series said it’s “unfortunate but necessary” to postpone this year’s races because of production issues related to new technology and the need to ensure

the safety of its drivers and teams.

While Aug. 20 was slated to be a busy day in New West when three events were planned for the downtown and waterfront, the Quayside Community Board cancelled this year’s

Coastal Cruise, San Diego & Las Vegas!

Quayside Boardwalk Festival and Sale because of concerns about issues like parking and traffic, and the Beyond Marketing Group has postponed Piknic Electronik until next year so it has more time to line up its musical entertainment.

The food truck festival will still take place on Columbia Street that day.

Many car enthusiasts had hoped the Hyack Festival Association would resurrect the Show and Shine in 2016.

The Show and Shine

hasn’t been held since the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association pulled out of the event two years ago so it could refocus its efforts on events like the food truck festival.

The city has received an application to rezone 1031 Sixth Ave. to neighbourhood residential dwelling district/heritage revitalization agreement, which would allow

the applicant to relocate the 1891 David McLaughlin House to the rear of the property and to build a new Edwardian-style home on the front of the site. Council has given two readings to the bylaw and will consider the matter at a public hearing being held at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 20 in council chambers.

Community City earns award for family-friendly policy Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster’s family-friendly housing policy has earned an award from the Planning Institute of B.C. Beverly Grieve, the city’s director of development services, and Tristan Johnson, planning analyst, recently accepted an Award of Excellence at the institute’s annual conference in Kelowna.The city received a silver award for Excellence in Policy Planning (city and urban areas) in recognition of its family-friendly housing policy.

“The policy was recognized as a visionary yet achievable forward-thinking action to ensure that the housing stock in the city is appropriate for families and children,” Grieve said.

“It was also recognized that the policy was put into the context of the need to ensure that neighbourhoods are also family friendly; that there are services and amenities (schools, parks, childcare) that also meet the needs of families.”

The policy was recognized as … visionary yet achievable

When the family-friendly housing bylaw was adopted last spring, the City of New Westminster became the first city in Metro Vancouver to mandate a percentage of three-bedroom units in new buildings.

The bylaw requires multifamily owned projects to include a minimum of 30 per cent two-and three-bedroom units, and at least 10 per cent of the total project to be three bedrooms or more. In addition, multifamily rental projects must include a minimum of 25 per cent two- and threebedroom units, with at least five per cent having three or more bedrooms.

The family-friendly housing policy and bylaw were also designed to support the city’s child and youthfriendly community strategy, which aims to see that neighbourhoods are developed in a way that better meets the needs of families, children and youth.This includes providing such as child care, parks, playgrounds and recreation programming.

Make your renovation dreams come true BOB DE WIT CONTRIBUTING WRITER

I

t is important to hire professionals to transform your largest financial investment into the home you will enjoy for many years to come. Just as you would reach out to professionals to manage your other investments, I recommend working with professional renovators to protect your home investment.

Speaking with multi award-winning GVHBA renovator-member Ralph Belisle of TQ Construction, Ralph shared a recent project with me which exemplifies the leading edge work our members offer homeowners.

As the story goes, the family had lived in their home for 20 years. They decided to move into a new home with more space, but it was never quite right – so they turned back and renovated the home they loved.

Neo-Georgian style with a 20 year-old design, TQ Construction blended features the owners sought out in a new home with the desired upgrades.

One of the major features of the renovation included a redesign of the attic into usable space. The open attic concept required a new roof support designed to be capable of holding a typical roof load weight without using vertical beams. The process involved development and methodology to improve the structural integrity of the Neo-Georgian style home without affecting the existing structure, while making the space livable and meeting current building code standards.

TQ Construction also recommended placement of large skylights to be placed

on north side to allow for natural light, and smaller gable windows used on the south side for curb appeal and light - both done with minimum heat gain. Originally thought to be a den for the husband, the space provided perfect acoustics and environment for the wife’s love of music.

This attic renovation highlights the contributions professional renovators make toward advancements in building science and how experience brings subtle touches to the overall success of the project in reaching the homeowners’ goals. Don’t worry, the husband got his den too – it was just relocated to the main floor.

Mayor Jonathan Cote proved to be the king of the courts in the NWPD Pickleball Classic.

The New Westminster Police Department’s community policing division has been attempting to connect seniors with youth through the Century House Association’s pickleball club.

On Saturday, local pickleball players attended the NWPD Classic, a roundrobin style tournament that included a celebrity match between Mayor Jonathan Cote and Chief Const.

Dave Jones.

“I am a pickleball champion – I never thought the day would come,” Cote told the Record. “I had never played it before. I used to play tennis quite a bit and there are a lot of similarities between tennis and pickleball. I was able to transfer those skills over to the pickleball court.”

Jones was partnered with John Baker and Cote

teamed up with Babar Khalid, both of whom are medal winners in pickleball and members of Century House Association and New Westminster Pickleball Club. Cote said Jones was a “fierce competitor”

so he had his work cut out for him.

“It was a lot of fun,” Cote said. “Pickleball, from my understanding, is one of the fastest growing sports in North America and is generating a lot of interest in all

communities. It was nice to connect with our growing pickleball community here in New Westminster. I know they appreciated watching the chief and the mayor battle it out.”

8X ON THE PARK

C

Offers Luxury Urban Living

alling it “a fusion of modern and historic architecture unmatched in the city,” Tracie McTavish, executive director at Rennie Marketing Systems, says that 8X ON THE PARK’s unique design is a first in Vancouver.

“It is also the only building that sits beside Emery Barnes Park,” adds McTavish. “There are many cool architecturally designed buildings in Vancouver but very few make such a bold statement as 8X ON THE PARK.” The mixed-use, 35-storey LEED gold certified “three-building” tower was designed by the forward-thinking gBL Architects to reflect the vibe of this exciting district – modern, sophisticated, artistic-inspired living.

8X ON THE PARK features 321 homes, ranging from a small selection of pieds-aterre, one-, two- and three bedroom homes, which will include 121 luxury rental units.

“What also makes 8X ON THE PARK quite distinctive is that we offer a large number of three-bedroom homes,” says McTavish, adding that this is rare in most condominium buildings.

Thoughtfully designed, Ada Bonini of BYU Design was tasked with decorating the two show homes.

“I took my inspiration from the form and shape of the building,” says the principal of BYU. “With such a bold contemporary design, it required a bold statement inside.

There is also such a strong feeling of luxury here so we wanted to paint that sense of luxury using a palette of greys, white and charcoal tones … think a fine cashmere sweater or stunning black-and-white photography.”

Each home embraces opulence, complete

with marble and Quartz stone in both kitchens and bathrooms, pull-out pantries with integrated LED lighting, high end Miele and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances, air condi-

tioning, wide plank engineered oak hardwood flooring, in-floor Nu-Heat in master bathrooms and Italian-made Binova cabinetry.

“The kitchens also have steam ovens, a great

“There is lots of great lighting in these homes, not just to accentuate functionality but to highlight beautiful ambient lighting as well.”

All residents will have private access to the 35th-floor wrap-around Sky Lounge and Fitness Centre, offering state-of-the-art equipment, amenity room and lounge with kitchenette, as well as a landscaped outdoor terrace with a covered deck, a common dining area, a storage shed and potting bench for a rooftop garden.

McTavish went on to say that family-owned Brenhill Development Ltd, a local developer with more than four decades of experience, wanted to ensure the tower was as green as possible. 8X ON THE PARK will be outfitted with an extensive use of both thermal glazing and sun shading, geo-exchange heat pumps and high-efficiency fan coil units in each home.

8X ON THE PARK is walking distance to the False Creek seawall, transit and several great restaurants. It is close to everything an urbanite wants, including Vancouver’s central library, BC Place, Rogers Arena, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, theatres, parks and the Roundhouse Community Centre.

Royal City residents are welcome to use Mayor Jonathan Cote’s prime parking stall if they ride their bikes to city hall.

Cote celebrated Bike to Work Week by having a bike rack installed in his parking stall at the rear entrance to city hall and invites cyclists to park in his spot.

“It’s been well know that the mayor’s parking stall did not get well used very often.

I think I have driven to city hall twice since being elected,” Cote told the Record.

“I do normally walk up to work.”

Cote had no qualms about giving up his parking spot as a way of encouraging staff and residents to bike to city hall and leaving their single-occupancy vehicles at home.The rack can hold six bikes.

Cote said a few city employees bike to work but there was definitely an uptake during Bike to Work Week, which was May 30 to June 5.

“We want to encourage all forms of sustainable transportation to be more regular forms for getting to city hall, both from employees and residents,” he said.

“We thought this would be a neat way to highlight that and provide a nice, safe spot. In the fall we are even looking at potentially putting a cover over the bike rack too.”

New Westminster’s master transportation plan envisions that 50 per cent of all trips in the city will be made by walking, cycling or taking transit by 2031.That’s expected to increase to 60 per cent of all trips by 2041.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone, an avid cyclist and chair of the city’s advisory committee for transit, bicycles and pedestrians, welcomed the bike rack at city hall.

“It’s good to have more bicycle parking, especially here at city hall,” he said.

“Visitors are more likely to take their bike somewhere if it can be secured somewhere safe.”

Lisa Leblanc, the city’s transportation planner, said

there is another bike rack outside city hall and indoor bike storage for staff, but the mayor’s stall is in a prominent and convenient place for cyclists. A survey of city staff done in 2014 found that three per cent of respondents cycle to work, a number that’s consistent

with the regional average.

Cote, who lives in downtown New West, uses sustainable modes of transportation most days, as he generally walks to work and takes transit to meetings. “I find our family vehicle actually gets parked most days, Monday to Friday,” he said.

Bellies squander lead, aim for fitter finish Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Desperation doesn’t smell quite as bad when it works towards a happy ending.

New West’s Logan Schuss delivered a rocket from about 30feet out with less than a second remaining in overtime to salvage a 12-12 draw with the Maple Ridge Burrards last week.

It capped a game which saw New West blow an 11-7 lead,

where the then-undefeated Burrards flexed their offensive muscles and rallied to force extra time.

Now, the hope is the senior A Salmonbellies can show a little more consistent purpose going forward.

“I’ve watched the game (film) twice now, and while we weren’t outplayed I do think there were moments we let up a lot,” said New West coach Steve Goodwin.

“It wasn’t a case of them dominating us and the shots bare that out,

but we can do a lot better job, especially in the third.”

That period has been a harbinger of things to come – in the four games they didn’t win, including three losses, New West has been outscored 16-7 in the third.

Outside an early overtime loss to Nanaimo, the club has been outscored in only one other period, and that was in the season opener.

Goodwin said its a byproduct of fitness fitting the game plan.

“We have to be fitter,” he said.

“The system we want to play requires we have to get up and down the floor fast, but we also expected it would take six to seven games to get to where we want to be.

“I think we’re there, but we need to see it.”

As the team nears full strength – Anthony Malcom is expected in the lineup tonight, while the team still awaits word on Jeff Cornwall, recuperating from a long NLL season – there are few excuses at

their disposal. Sitting fifth overall, at 2-3-1, is not where they want to spend a lot of time.

Rookie Dane Sorensen continues to impress, as he counted three goals against the Burrards, while Schuss finished with four.

In his second game with the club, 2016 first round draft pick Mike Messenger also tallied.

New West will put their fitness to another test, hosting 1-4 Langley tonight (Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena).

Morneau joins Sox

NewWest slugger signs with Chicago club

Keeping it close: New Westminster and Burnaby players stick close together during action at the John Witt Memorial Bellie Bowl novice tournament at Queen’s Park.

Burnaby won this round-robin contest 7-5, but New West would prevail in a rematch in the ‘B’ division bronze final 6-4. PoCo won the division gold. In the A1 division, Juan de Fuca ruled in an all-Island battle for gold, while New West clipped Ridge Meadows 5-2 to finish third. Semiahmoo took the A2 top prize, while New West blanked Kelowna 6-0 to claim bronze. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

As Chicago White Sox legendary broadcaster Kenny Harrelson says, “You can put it on the board –Yes!” Justin Morneau inked a pro-rated contract with the Pale Hose last week, with an eye on joining the American League lineup in late July.

Morneau, 35, is recovering from elbow surgery for an injury which plagued him last year while playing first base with the Colorado Rockies.

A New Westminster product, the left-sided slugger joins Chicago as they battle for a playoff spot.The 2006 American League MVP and 2014 National League batting champ is eager to get back on the diamond.

“If you told me a few years this is where I’d end up or have an opportunity to play, I don’t know if I would have believed you,” Morneau told MLB.com. “But I’m thankful for it now.”

According to Morneau’s dad, George, its a fitting chapter to the Royal City product’s career.

“He started his baseball (in New West) as a White Sox. Now he’s one again,” he told the Record.

Taking offence, New West juniors shoot for the top A new system, a green light and talented sticks are proving to be magic for junior Salmonbellies snipers Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Taking a page from the Pittsburgh Penguins likely wasn’t on the minds of the New Westminster junior Salmonbellies at the start of the season. But if their journey can emulate the NHL Stanley Cup champions, New West will gladly take it.

Cued by a well-balanced attack, the Bellies are among the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League’s troika of trend setters this season, chasing dreams of a Minto Cup. New West joined the ranks of Coquitlam and Delta by posting its 10th win of the season Tuesday, blasting the Burnaby Lakers 15-5 with an attack that at times mirrors the Crosby, Malkin and Kessel juggernaut which just copped hockey’s top cup.

Coach Todd Stockdale, who earned his

stripes as a player on defence, says things are falling into place at the proper time.

“I actually didn’t see anything before (coming here),” said Stockdale, who coached senior A last year. “It was good that I didn’t have any type of opinion on anyone, I just knew how I wanted us to play and what we needed to do. Having them play with emotion, moving the ball it’s made everyone accountable instead of just one guy getting the ball. Now they all can have it.”

Stockdale has his team moving and the ball jumping from stick to stick.Where the players move and when they shoot remains in their hands.

For third-year forward Connor Robinson, it’s working like a charm. He’s currently atop the league scoring race with 36 goals and 41 assists in 14 games, just four points ahead of teammate Adam Dickson.

“This year, the coach has given us a system to run and said we can work it or work out of it and play your game. I think I attribute it to my type of game, how I like to play,” said Robinson, 20. “If I see a spot I’ll go, or if other guys see a spot they can go.”

It certainly worked Tuesday, as New West broke open a 5-3 game by counting eight straight goals to run away with the game.

Johnny Pearson counted four goals and two assists, while Dickson netted a hat trick.

Colton Bykowsky, Mitchell Stokes and Robinson each tallied twice, while Jeremy Bosher and Mitchell Macaulay added singles.

It came four days after New West fell 1510 to Delta in a key battle for second place.

“It’s one of those times we couldn’t get going, so you put it behind you,” said Stockdale. “They got to us a couple of times and

our defence struggled a bit.”

The two teams are tied for second place, both with 10 wins, but Delta has two games in hand.The Coquitlam Adanacs, meanwhile, remain unbeaten at 12-0.

Getting to contend for a Minto Cup in August remains the ultimate target, said Robinson.

“It would mean everything,” said Robinson. “I grew up here and started playing lacrosse at three years old, watching the senior Bellies, watching the junior Bellies and have two older brothers that played.

They were not as successful so winning here would mean a lot… I think we’re the team to do it.”

New West hosts Nanaimo on Sunday, 5 p.m. at Queen’s Park. On June 21, the Adanacs pay a visit to New West for an 8 p.m. faceoff.

Second time for Blue Jays

No play at the plate: New Westminster Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ben Nottingham scores a run during an early game against Langley at the New West Hyack Major tournament at Justin Morneau field in Moody Park. The Jays went on to capture the Hyack tourney title, trumping Forest Hill 10-1 in the final. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

There was no bat flip, but there was a celebration.

The New Westminster Blue Jays proved to be good hosts and great competitors at the recent Hyack Majors baseball tournament at Moody Park.

New West loaded up the batting order and thumped Forest Hill 10-1 in the final, powered by three home runs.

Savic Vellios delivered one of the long bombs, his first of the season, as the Blue Jays put on a display of sharp pitching and red-hot hitting.

Jalen Sami was on both sides of that equation, going 3-for-3 at the plate with a home run, while tossing two shutout innings.

Joining him in throwing a two-hitter were Taiki Suzuki and Brendan Tong, who combined to strike out 15 Forest Hill batters on the day.

The tournament, hampered by rainouts, saw the Blue Jays pick up wins over Coquitlam, 5-3, and Langley, 8-4, to be seeded first in their division.

It was the 52nd annual tournament, with New West picking up its second straight title.

MYDSKE, Hans I. August 8, 1921 − June 5, 2016

After a wonderful 94 years, Hans passed away on June 5, 2016. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends.

Born in Haramsoy, Norway, on August 8, 1921, Hans is predeceased by his parents, Peter and Kristine; sister, Lilly; and Kay, his true love and wife of almost 62 years.

Hans moved to Canada at six years old. As a young adult, he followed in his father’s footsteps, establishing himself as a successful commercial fisherman, braving the Bering Sea in Alaska and providing a comfortable life for his seven children in New Westminster. Hans resided in his family home until he passed away.

He is dearly missed by children David (Michelle), Marlene, Sandra (David), Phillip (Caroline), Grant, Kathryn (Lorne), and Chris (Judy). Always on our mind, and forever in our hearts, Grandpa Hans is remembered by his 19 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren, as well as many other relatives and friends.

Hans had a real zest for life, and his presence lit up any room. He had a youthful spirit, never stopped having fun, and enjoyed celebrating every occasion with his family. Hans was the true definition of young at heart.
