N E W S P A P E R FOR THE LOVE OF DANCE
The Ammara Dance Company performs Middle Eastern dances at the New West Day of Dance event on Sunday at Westminster Pier Park. The day-long event drew people of all ages down to the river on a hot, sunny day to take part in a variety of free dance lessons and performances, as well as yoga sessions and a kids’ corner with face painting, bubbles and chalk drawing. The day wrapped up with an all-ages dance party in the evening. The Day of Dance was the brainchild of local moms Vicky Wallace, Stacey Burke and Ashley Currie, with funding from a Donald’s Market ONE grant.

Drug thefts prompt security overhaul
Royal Columbian is getting a multimillion-dollar security upgrade in response to missing narcotics Cornelia Naylor

A health-care worker getting ready to administer a dose of morphine to a resident at New Westminster’s Queen’s Park Care Centre
in 2013 noticed the colour of the drug didn’t look quite right. A sample was sent off to the lab, and tests found the sample had been diluted. In all, health officials found about 500 millili-
tres of Doloral, an oral morphine liquid, had been siphoned off and replaced with water, but no individual could be tied to the theft. In 2014, 320 milligrams of Methadone and 41 onemilligram tablets of hydro-
morphone went missing from the long-term care facility with no explanation. At Royal Columbian Hospital, 19 five-milligram Oxycontin pills went missing in 2012 and 100 millilitres of morphine went missing last year without explanation. In all, 1,206 units of narcotics (a single unit may be

New West resident seeks Tory leadership
Chloe Ellis, who ran for the federal Conservatives in 2015, wants to lead the B.C. Conservative Party Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
A New Westminster resident and former federal Conservative candidate has thrown her hat into provincial politics. Chloe Ellis is in the running for the leadership of the B.C. Conservative Party. Ellis, who ran under the federal Conservative banner in the 2015 election, said she decided to run for the
provincial party because she sees an opportunity for the party to become relevant and a legitimate choice in the next election in 2017. In the last provincial election, the party received less than five per cent of the popular vote and won no seats in the legislature. Ellis said the difference this time is she intends to provide a new vision for the party and attend as many leadership debates and local
events as possible. “I really just want to talk with everybody I can and listen to what their vision is for British Columbia and wrap our arms around them and say, ‘Let’s get involved, let’s change our future for the better,’” she told the Record. She noted the Conservative Party ideals are a lean government, low taxes, personal responsibility and hard work, while also criti-
cizing the provincial Liberals, suggesting the government has a poor record of ethics and accountability. On the hot topic of real

Opinion OUR VIEW
Human rights changes a win for B.C. Vancouver Pride Week is upon us again, and right here at home we’re getting ready for a week of New West Pride festivities starting Aug. 6. This year, everyone in British Columbia has one more achievement to be proud of. In an all-too-rare display of bipartisan cooperation, Attorney General Suzanne Anton and Vancouver-West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert
have put together changes to the B.C. Human Rights Code to protect people from discrimination based on gender identity or expression. It’s an overdue affirmation that transgender people among us face unique challenges and have an equal place at the table in B.C.’s laws.Trans folks still face higher suicide rates and lower incomes and are more likely to be alienated from
family. It’s nice to know our B.C. government will have their backs when it comes to discrimination by employers, businesses or landlords. We must remember, progress doesn’t just happen on its own. In fact, the B.C. Liberals resisted many previous attempts to update the code, arguing it was already up to snuff when it came to trans rights. The people who fought
Progress doesn’t just happen on its own for this and won are to be commended. Sadly, trans people in other jurisdictions face far worse. The NBA just announced it was pulling its All Star
game from the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, in protest over the state’s new anti-LGBT legislation.The law states people must use the washroom corresponding with the sex listed on their birth certificate, denies protection for all LGBT people and forbids workplace discrimination lawsuits from being heard in state courts. None of which suggests that B.C. is perfect – or that
the Human Rights Code amendment will prevent hate and discrimination from occurring here too. But it does serve as a reminder that we here in B.C. have come a long way in a relatively short time. For that, we thank all who have stood up to be counted. And we urge everyone in the city to get out and wear their rainbow gear with pride.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
A tale of two provinces
It’s hard to fathom how two provinces located right next to each other can find themselves in such starkly different economic situations. Here in B.C., things are on a proverbial roll. Unemployment is relatively low, jobs are being created and the economy is growing faster than anywhere else in the country. But our neighbour, Alberta, is an economic basket case. Instead of growing, the economy is shrinking and jobs are being shed in record numbers. In fact, Alberta is now in the midst of what the TD Bank calls “one of the most severe recessions ever.”The bank forecasts a cumulative contraction of economic activity of 6.5 per cent by the end of the year, which is far worse than the 2008 recession or the ones that hit Alberta and the rest of the country in the 1980s. The collapse of world oil prices has plunged Alberta into that recession.The Fort McMurray fire, which halted oil sands production for more than a month, turned a very bad situation into an even worse one. Meanwhile, on this side of the Rocky Mountains, the economy grew by an impressive three per cent last year and will likely come close to that growth rate this year. What’s fuelling B.C.’s golden times? Real estate plays a big role. Almost $95 billion (yes, that’s “billion”) was spent last year on real estate transactions,
and there are no signs the amount this year will be much different. Most of that was spent on residential properties, a further indication of the fevered state of the housing market. Last week, Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the public accounts for the last fiscal year, which provide the final when-all-issaid-and-done totals for revenue and spending. The document revealed the government took in a whopping $1.53 billion in property transfer tax revenues.That’s more than $600 million higher than originally forecast in the budget. This year’s budget had forecast the tax would decline to about $1.2 billion in the current year, but de Jong has abandoned that forecast and now says the expected revenue stream will be “significantly” higher than first thought.Translation: the housing market has not cooled down and isn’t expected to anytime soon. It’s a tale of two provinces: one chugging along, the other lurching from crisis to crisis. This may prove to be rich fodder for the B.C. Liberals come the next election, as they link the fact an NDP government is ruling Alberta to that province’s woeful economic performance, even though that government is almost powerless to do anything to reverse the tide. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Stealing from the poor Thieves broke into the New Westminster Food Bank for the sixth time in two years in January. “It’s a lot like stealing little old ladies’ purses or beating up kids and taking away their candy,” said frustrated food bank coordinator John Wirchenko. He said thieves stole about $3,000 worth of groceries after breaking through a back door into an alternative school housed in the same building at 1111 Sixth Ave.

Please, give residents a break from noise
Restaurateur set to retire after 40 years
Dear Editor If you live near the Quay, you have become painfully aware that our city bylaws state that “Construction noise is permitted from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.” Perhaps lawmakers were imagining the sound of hammers and saws when that law was written, but the incessant hydraulic pile drivers on the RiverSky project are taking full advantage of that window, leaving nearby residents perpetually deaf, cranky and exhausted. This summer there has been no such thing as a quiet afternoon walk along the boardwalk, except on Sunday. I suppose one cannot blame the developer, Bosa, for maximizing an opportunity, since a business exists to earn profits. Working on Saturday shrinks its timeline and that is obviously far more important to Bosa than being a good neighbour. Therefore I would urge the mayor and the city council to immediately modify its rule on construction noise, at least on Saturdays, so as to create a sense of sanctuary in our homes in New West on weekends. Jacqueline Gootee, New Westminster
Thanks for the kindness of strangers Dear Editor May I, through the Record, offer my deep appreciation to the two separate passersby who assisted, comforted and supported me during my sidewalk accident on Sixth Avenue outside the library on Friday last. One called 911 on my behalf, and the fire and rescue and ambulance services responded very quickly. I am grateful for the concern and care received from strangers who, without thought for their own schedules, remained with me until the professional helpers arrived. May their kindness be returned to them tenfold. Shelagh Armour-Godbolt, Burnaby
Shortsighted thinking won’t save the planet Dear Editor There has been a lot of talk about the Trans Mountain Pipeline run by Kinder Morgan and the double twinning of it. We are sometimes shortsighted in our thinking. Where have mayors in the Lower Mainland been? Like the mayors of Vancouver and Burnaby that are so proud of how they love the environment, but all Burnaby, Vancouver and New Westminster produce is garbage – 30 or more truckloads a day, plus sewage. We produce no food, no products; anything we use is all brought to us by gas-eating trucks, and our garbage is hauled away by truck. Our electric power is provided by dams that killed billions of C02-eating plants. Windmills take 240,000 tons of C02 to make; solar panels are worse. We have to learn to conserve energy. We have to think long-range. The earth has gone through ice ages, tropical weather and more to come – man-made or nature, who knows? We can’t live with shortsighted, kneejerk reactions.

Betty Mc Thank you to Salvatore for all he has contributed to the New Westminster community, he will be missed! Gail Hamill Beau Salvatore, I hear they are looking for a 1st class restaurant with wonderful food and excellent service at the Anvil Centre. Ed Sadowski First Queen’s Park Meat Market, now this. Scott Manke Salvatore has always been a great host and we’ve always enjoyed the food there. It’ll be sad to see La Spaghetteria shut down.
POWER grads celebrate successes Patti Jackson Sincere congrats to all 12 of you! Everyone takes a different path to get a meaningful education and it looks like you found yours :) Karon Trenaman Congrats to all of you. Wishing you all much success in life as you continue to achieve great things. And never be afraid to take the road less travelled, it is very rewarding.
Residents unimpressed with designs for new Pattullo Bridge jbrisby It really drives me insane that every time we build a new bridge, we tear an old one down. Don’t these idiots realize that if you have one bridge, and you build another bridge, you’ve got two bridges? Why not keep the Patullo as a two lane bridge, encourage it for use only by local traffic between Surrey and New Westminster, and then locate a new mega-crossing somewhere else? Perhaps they could connect the Kingsway/12th St. corridor with the new Fraser Perimeter road, thus diverting much of the traffic that currently passes through Uptown away from New West altogether. NewCity Dude 2 Personally I’d like to see them completely eliminate Front Street access to trucks. This should no longer be a truck route considering how dense the neighborhood has become and is increasingly becoming. Consider the impact on congestion by the Quay/downtown where there are 6 new and possibly 7 new high rises being constructed there. The new Pattullo access helps alleviate the congestion along Front Street but we need to outright ban trucks along this route. JOIN THE CONVERSATION

News Two local residents charged with trafficking fentanyl Two NewWestminster residents are facing drug charges for allegedly trafficking fentanyl. The arrests are the culmination of nearly six months of work by the NewWestminster Police Department’s street crime unit. In February, the unit was tasked with investigating fentanyl drug traffickers operating in the city. Following the investiga-
tion by police, a search warrant was executed at a home in the 600 block of Blackford Street in NewWestminster on May 5. A second search warrant was executed at a home in Surrey with the help of the Emergency Response Team and Surrey RCMP drug unit.The searches uncovered an undisclosed amount of drugs, including cocaine, heroin, fentanyl and crystal meth-
amphetamine, along with equipment for drug production, noted a press release. Officers also seized three rifles and a shotgun. Charged are 46-yearold Richard Dean Findlay and 33-year-old Julie Ellen Broadway. Findlay faces one count of trafficking cocaine; six counts of trafficking heroin and fentanyl; one count of possessing heroin; and two
Technology ups drug security Continued from page 1 Tasleem Juma told the Record. The project at RCH will total about $8 million and is scheduled to be complete by spring 2017. “It’s the actual cabinet; it’s all the technology around it; it’s the staffing that has to go with it,” Juma said. Other new security features will include closed circuit TV (CCTV) cameras, electronic instead of paper tracking and enhanced security at entry points. The Queen’s Park Care Centre will not get an automated dispensing machine, but Lower Mainland Pharmacy Services executive director Michele Babich said other measures have been
taken to prevent drug losses like the pilfered Doloral. Babich said narcotic policies at the care centre were “significantly updated” in the fall of 2013 and further in 2014 and 2015. “We’ve also done significant education and increased surveillance and technology like CCTV,” she said in an email. By law, B.C. hospitals have to report each missing unit of narcotics to Health Canada within 10 days, but not all of the missing drugs hospitals report have been stolen, according to Juma. “Sometimes nurses forget to log a dose that they gave; sometimes it gets dropped on the floor, or behind cabinets,” she said. “As we have

to report to Health Canada within 10 days, often we may find out that there was a counting error or other issue after we have issued the report.” Only when the missing drugs can be tied directly to an individual are they reported as “pilferage.” “Often people are terminated,” Juma said. “We also refer the case to the police. We will complete our own investigation and take the necessary actions, while also cooperating with the police.”

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY July 28, 2016 9
City Pooch potty up and running downtown Downtown residents now have a place for their pooch to go poop. To address the growing dog population in that part of town and the spike in feces appearing on sidewalks, the City of New Westminster has installed a dog relief station at the southeast corner of Begbie and Columbia streets. The designated area, roughly the size of a park-
ing stall, is part of a oneyear trial project.The relief station has a blue fence on three sides and is located within a garden bed, which is fully equipped with an irrigation system. It contains artificial turf specifically designed for the do-do business. “We’ve put in 400 pounds of deodorizer,” parks and recreation manager JayYoung told the Re-
cord. “It’s activated when it gets wet, so the smell should be reduced down to a minimum.” A bag dispenser has been installed at the site for anyone interested in leaving extra bags behind.The city chose not to provide free bags because it would have been an “enormous cost,” Young said. Prior to the installation, he said, his department re-
ceived a lot of complaints about feces in the streets, especially from the New West Business Improvement Area. Reaction, however, hasn’t been all positive. Social media posts have called the city “nuts.” “That’s why we’re testing it,” saidYoung. The city estimated the project cost $8,000 to build. – TerezaVerenca

Liquid gold: Donated breast milk helps vulnerable newborns in neonatal intensive care units. Donations from New Westminster mothers quintupled this year over the same period in 2015, after a Record report that raised awareness of the program. PHOTO FILES

Milk donations soar in New West Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca
Lactating New Westminster moms have really poured on the generosity this year. Breast milk donations between January and June were more than five times what they were during the same period last year, according to the Fraser Health Authority. Donations during the six-month span jumped to 64,300 millilitres – compared to 12,592 last year. “Twice a year we check in with all of our milk depots, and they send us their tallies and we do a grand total,” spokesperson Tasleem Juma told the Record. “Across the region it’s up, which is fantastic, but New West was five times more in the same six-month period.” Milk donation across all of Fraser Health’s milk depots surged from 551,204 ml to 882,257 ml – a 38 per cent increase. In April 2015, Fraser Health signed a first-of-itskind agreement with the Ministry of Health and the
at 5:30pm
Provincial Health Services Authority, which oversees B.C.Women’s Hospital and the B.C.Women’s Provincial Milk Bank. Fraser Health collects donor breast milk at each of its 17 public health units and ships it to the milk bank, which processes it and ships it back to the health authority’s neonatal intensive care
units (NICUs) to feed to vulnerable newborn babies. Fraser Health officials said stories published in the Record about the agreement helped boost local donations. “Our program credits, in part, the news stories your papers printed in the spring and summer of last year for this incredible result,” Juma stated in an email.

After forty years, Salvatore calls it a day Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Restaurants have been part of Salvatore Fancello’s life from the time he was a youngster growing up in Sardinia. Fancello, owner of Salvatore’s La Spaghetteria in New Westminster, is getting set to retire on Aug. 1. He feels blessed to have been able to work at a job he loves for so many years. “Loving this business, that is the best part. I don’t wish anybody to do something they don’t like to do,” he said. “Since I was 12 years old, I have been working in this business. In Italy, I was behind the bar making coffees, making gelati.” Fancello started working in hotels in Sardinia when he was 14; he later immigrated to Belgium, where he worked in restaurants in Brussels. “I came to Canada 53 years ago,” he said. “I went to Montreal for seven years. I worked in the best restaurants there.” Fed up with the ongoing debate about whether Quebec should separate from Canada, Fancello headed west in 1970 and worked as a waiter in the Bayside Room at the Bayshore Hotel for several years.When the restaurant closed, Fancello and a co-worker/friend decided to open a restaurant of their own in New Westminster. Fancello has been a fixture on Sixth Street since 1976, when he opened La Lorraine at 232 Sixth St. “We bought this house for $80,000. People were living in it,” he said of 232 Sixth St. “We kept the shell. We hired an architect and switched it to a restaurant.”
For the love of food: After more than 40 years as a restaurateur in New Westminster, Salvatore Fancello is getting ready to close Salvatore’s La Spaghetteria. He’s sold the Sixth Street property where his restaurant is located, but he hasn’t ruled out opening a smaller restaurant in the city in the future. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
In 1979, Fancello and his former business partner bought the house next door for $175,000 and opened La Rustica. “As soon as we opened the doors, there was a lineup,” he said of the restaurants. “It was amazing, so successful.” In 1991, Fancello noticed a decline in the trend of fine dining and merged La Rustica and La Lorraine into one building and opened Salvatore’s La Spaghetteria next door. “Over the years each one had its own run, very successfully,” he said. “We used to have dine and dance.
NewYear’s Eve we used to probably do 600 people in one night.” Customers’ appetites on the restaurant scene have changed a lot since the days of dining and dancing. Nowadays, Fancello said people often frequent chain restaurants likes Cactus Club and Browns Socialhouse. La Spaghetteria has a staff of 12, some of whom have been with Fancello for 20 to 38 years. Forty years after opening on Sixth Street, he continues to work day and night seven days a week. “I did dishes yesterday.
I make the pizza, I do the barbecue every day – lunch and dinner. I serve people. I clean tables. I do preparation. I do shopping. I still

love it,” he said. “I have been so lucky to do something I love to do.” Fancello sold the properties to Quadra Homes two
years ago, and the sites are slated for redevelopment into La Rustica Residences. Although he’s set to close the restaurant on Aug. 1, he’s pondered the possibility of opening a smaller restaurant after visiting family in Sardinia and going on a couple of trips with his wife, Maria. “I am not ready,” he said of retiring. “I may take time to recharge the batteries, go back home to Italy. I may come back and reopen something smaller – maybe 40 to 50 seats.” When La Spaghetteria closes its doors, Fancello will be putting some of

Refugee family one step closer to Canada Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@newwestrecord.ca
A refugee case with local ties took a big step forward recently. The Anglican Diocese of NewWestminster filed an application to bring Mohammed Alsaleh’s family from Syria to Canada, and a Burnaby church has agreed to help with settlement services.
A simple thing like a family picture is a dream to us
“I am so good right now. I feel so light and relieved that I finally achieved what I wanted to do,” Alsaleh said. TheVancouver resident said his family members, now living in a border town in Turkey, were excited about the application. “They feel so happy

there’s a chance that all our family members will be in one place. Because of the war, a simple thing like a family picture is a dream to us, and we hope we can have that in the following few months,” he said. Alsaleh arrived as a refugee in Canada more than two years ago, after he was detained and tortured in Syria. He left his family – his widowed mother and five siblings – behind in Syria. Two of his brothers made the perilous Mediterranean crossing to Europe last fall. The Record first covered Alsaleh’s story last September, which inspired reader Deana Brynildsen to start an online fundraising campaign to sponsor Alsaleh’s family.The page raised more than $33,000 to bring the family to Canada. Once the money was amassed, Brynildsen and Alsaleh connected with the diocese, which has an agreement with the federal government to sponsor refugees. The diocese filed the Alsaleh application recently, and

it was just one of a handful put forward, as the federal government put a cap on the number of applications it’s accepting.The diocese was hoping to apply for 125 people but was only allowed to submit applications
for six.The diocese has since been allowed to apply for 10 more people. St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Burnaby will help with settlement services: taking the family grocery shopping or helping register
the kids for school, for example. Alsaleh has since moved toVancouver but plans to move to Burnaby or New Westminster once his family arrives. No one knows how long the refugee appli-
cation will take, but Alsaleh is guessing his family won’t be here until 2017. In the meantime, he works at Immigrant Services Society of B.C., helping other refugees and sending money to his relatives in Turkey.

A place for moms: Angie Baker, mom to six-year-old Ryden and three-yearold Baylee, is grateful for the connections she’s made through the Port Royal Moms Group. She formed the Facebook group seven years ago as a way of connecting local moms. The group has grown to include nearly 300 moms from around Queensborough, who can connect with one another to share information about child care and community resources, as well as arranging play dates and moms’ events. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
Queensborough group helps moms connect Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
When Angie Baker started an online moms’ group seven years ago, she never dreamed how much it would connect moms in her neighbourhood. Baker started the Port Royal Moms Group page on Facebook in August 2009 as a way of improving connections between moms of youngsters living in her neighbourhood. “One day after meeting a couple of moms I went home, and I said, ‘I’ll start a Facebook moms’ group,’ which we call the Port Royal Moms Group online. Over seven years I just started adding people slowly. I started with one mom. Now it is almost up to 300,” Baker said. “It has totally grown in the community. It used to be strictly for Port Royal people and now it’s turned into Queensborough moms as well, but mostly Port Royal.” Although moms on maternity leave or days off of work would often bump into each other while walk-
ing their little ones on the river walk around Port Royal, the group provided a place where they could connect, make plans and offer support.The Port Royal Moms Group provides a place where moms network, promote the efforts of their small businesses, share information about child care, talk to other moms about community resources and school information and support each other. Baker, mom to six-yearold Ryden and three-yearold Baylee, is grateful for the connections she’s made through the group. “I’m social. It’s nice to keep connected and have support from other moms,” she said. “When I was off on maternity leave two different times, it was nice to keep together and have support from the moms. It’s not an easy job being a mom. It’s nice to have the support with people who you can literally walk to their door, have a coffee and let the kids play.” In the past seven years, the group has become much more than a place to
arrange play dates for kids and meetups for moms. “It’s a good feeling to know your neighbours and to help each other out if needed,” Baker said. “Building community – that is what we have done over seven years. It’s been amazing.” Along with informal gettogethers with the kids, the group has done events for occasions like Easter and Halloween – and pub nights for moms only. Originally restricted to Port Royal moms, Baker eventually started allowing Queensborough moms to join the group as kids started entering the school system and attending programs at the community centre. Some of the kids’ teachers and before-and-after-school child-care providers have also joined the group, which keeps everyone in the loop about what’s happening with professional days and community events. “We have had nothing negative,” said Baker, who screens all requests to ensure they’re from moms in the neighbourhood. “It’s really focused.”

Much ado about these New Westminster teens editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Two Royal City teen actors are gearing up to perform one of Shakespeare’s best loved comedies this month on Granville Island. Isaac McAndless-Davis and Daisy Hulme play the roles of Benedick and Dogberry, respectively, in Much Ado About Nothing. The Carousel Theatre production tells the wellknown tale of two sets of lovers.There’s Beatrice and Benedick, who are happily single and can’t see any reason to marry.Then there’s Hero and Claudio, who fall in love immediately at the start of the play and decide to tie the knot. The jealous villain Don John tries to break up the marriage by making Claudio believe Hero is unfaithful to him.The plan succeeds and Claudio denounces his bride-to-be at the altar. All is resolved when the constable, Dogberry, uncovers the truth and tells everyone. Claudio, who thinks she is dead,
is left grieving for her. Eventually, the two couples get their happy ending. But this version of the Elizabethan play comes with a bit of a twist. It’s set during the disco age of the 1970s. “It’s just focused on this party attitude and having a really good time,” said McAndless-Davis, adding each summer play is set in a recent era that the audience is familiar with. “That’s what Much Ado About Nothing is about, a whole bunch of people coming to dance and start relationships.” For the 17-year-old New Westminster Secondary student, who has performed three Shakespearean plays with the theatre company, playing the loud and funny Benedick has been enjoyable. “I found it easier to compare my experience of my character to the experiences in my own life,” the actor told the Record. “It’s related to young love, so all the mistakes that he makes because of that, I can relate that to the silly mistakes I’ve
made.” Hulme, meanwhile, said diving into the role of Dogberry has had its challenges. She said it’s a unique part that involves more energy and physical movement to really make the character come alive. Dogberry often says the exact opposite of what he means. “It’s about trying to find a comfortable way to be completely ridiculous. It’s always a bit tricky to let loose,” noted Hulme, also 17. “But it’s also sort of liberating in a way.You just let go of trying to have any kind of dignity, presenting yourself in a way you think people will process really well.” The teen added she loves acting out Shakespearean plays and encourages others to read the playwright’s work. “It’s always presented as this big scary, looming, literature thing that (people) quote when they want to sound smart.When I had my first workshop and starting hearing the stories, language … I just thought it was amazing.

The Port Royal Community Garden Society is committed to growing students in the horticulture field. Keen to assist in the success and advancement of an individual devoted to growing food crops on a sustainable level, the Port Royal Community Garden Society presents an annual $1,000 Horticulture Award to a student enrolled in horticulture technology, production horticulture, sustainable agriculture or sustainable crop production at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Alexander Stark, a student in the bachelor of applied science in sustainable agriculture program, is the recipient of this year’s award. In a letter to the Port Royal Community Garden Society, the New Westminster resident said his pursuit of a degree is part of a long journey that began after he graduated from high school, as he didn’t immediately attend post-secondary school. “Instead, I sought out a farm mentorship on a 40acre certified organic vegetable and fruit farm, working for the season as an apprentice. Shortly after that I moved to the south of France for a year and learned to herd goats and craft cheese from their milk,” he wrote. “My agrarian lifestyle has brought me greater knowledge of, as well as a deeper appreciation for, the act of

growing food and the delicate art of stewarding the land. I embarked upon this degree out of a desire to complement the practical skills and wisdom garnered in my short experience as a farmer, with the additional study of science.” At the beginning of May, Stark travelled to Cuba to do an eight-month urban agriculture internship for his program – something he says he wouldn’t have been able to take on without the society’s support. The Port Royal Community Garden opened in Port Royal Park in Queensborough in 1997 with 25 plots, eventually expanding to 78 individual plots. In 2014, the society agreed to use a portion of its annual budget to establish the award at Kwantlen.

Although we were unsure of exactly what we wanted, Bryn was patient and didn’t pressure us, showing a variety of homes to help us figure out our needs. We received her personal attention on a daily basis, and she was always available for questions and advice. Despite being a highly successful Realtor, she made us feel we were her only clients. Bryn was quick to get us in on opportunities before they were listed publicly, and ultimately helped us find a great fit in our ideal neighbourhood. She helped guide us through the purchase process, saving us significant money, time, and stress with her keen insights and negotiation skills.” ~ Christine & Sara

Cop camp a hit with teens Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster police have wrapped up another successful student police academy. The two-week program is aimed at introducing high school students in grades 11 and 12 to a career as a police officer. Participants have to apply to be a part of the academy in the spring and, if selected, get an inner look at policing.
The program is divided into classroom time and real-life training exercises.This year, it included a presentation by the New Westminster Police Department’s major crime investigators, a tour of the local detachment and presentations by the RCMP dive team and K-9 unit.To cap off the two weeks, the students attended a graduation ceremony at the Justice Institute of B.C. where they were recognized for their
hard work. “It was evident from attending the graduation at the JIBC this past Saturday, the students had taken advantage of this great opportunity and really gelled into a cohesive team,” said Staff Sgt. Chad Johnston in an email to the Record. “We certainly hope to hear from these students in a few years when they are ready to make the jump to a career in policing.”
A good time: Students from across the Lower Mainland were in New Westminster recently to take part in the two-week student police academy. The camp is open to teens in grades 11 or 12 and is meant to introduce them to a career as a police officer. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

Stay cool: It’s important to stay hydrated and out of the sun’s glare when summer temperatures rise. PHOTO THINKSTOCK
Tips to beat hot weather While the sunny skies can make for lots of fun, Fraser Health notes it also means it’s time for sunscreen, hats and lots of water. Here are some other tips from Fraser Health aimed at keeping seniors safe when it heats up. 1. Balance is key. Building strength and balance with a simple exercise program can help retain your mobility, vitality, energy and sense of well-being. 2. Get equipped. Walkers and canes can help with balance on uneven sidewalks; and hip protectors can prevent broken bones if you trip or fall. Proper foot-
wear is also important. As tempting as sandals are in the heat, they can easily get caught on something and increase the risk for a fall. 3. Avoid the glare. The sun can make it hard to see, so be sure to wear sunglasses and proper eyewear. Take a moment to let your eyes adjust when you go from dark to bright, or vice versa, as you could miss objects in your way and increase the risk for a trip or fall. 4. Keep cool and hydrated. If you are staying indoors, use a fan and wet a face cloth with cold water. Getting enough fluids each
day gives you more energy and helps your body to stay cool. If you can, head to a mall, a community centre or a public library and enjoy the air conditioning. 5. Dress the part. Light clothing and a hat can help keep you cool. For some seniors, the warmer weather means staying indoors and can lead to missed doctor’s appointments, unfilled prescriptions and running out of groceries. Fraser Health suggests family and neighbours check in to make sure their loved ones or neighbours have what they need.

Community Rivershed group celebrates 20th anniversary A society dedicated to the protection, conservation and restoration of the health of watersheds in B.C. is celebrating its 20th anniversary with some visits to the Royal City. Fin Donnelly’s 1996 Swim for Life down the length of the mighty Fraser sparked the formation of the Rivershed Society of B.C. In the past 20 years, the society has offered a variety of public education programs and community initiatives. The society kicked off its anniversary celebration in June with its annual general meeting and dinner cruise aboard the MV Native of Paddlewheeler Riverboat tours.The event raised $8,500, with proceeds benefiting the 13th annual Sustainable Living Leadership Program, which takes participants on a 25-day, 1,400-kilometre wilderness travel experience down the Fraser River. “We are excited to see these nine individuals learn and grow over the course of the program,” Donnelly said in a press release. “We look forward to the positive im-

pacts they will make in their communities after the Sustainable Living Leadership Program wraps up its 13th summer.” The Sustainable Living Leadership Program trip began on July 14 and will see participants travelling through 10 of B.C.’s 14 biogeoclimatic zones. Along the way participants will study watersheds, salmon and resource management and learn how to lower their ecological footprint. “The NewWest stop at the Quay usually involves tying up at the Paddlewheeler dock,” Donnelly said of the Aug. 5 stop. “Then we make our way to the Fraser River Discovery Centre for a tour of the facility, followed by lunch, a group photo at the bust of Simon Fraser, then back in the canoe to paddle to Richmond.” The Rivershed Society of B.C. will cap off its 20th anniversary celebrations at FraserFest 2016, which features a series of familyfriendly festivals in communities along the Fraser River on Aug. 27 and 28. New Westminster city council recently approved a $5,000 grant for the society to help with its anniversary events.

Community New school district office gets thumbs up from board The New Westminster School District’s new digs will save the school board about $400,000 a year, the Record has learned. The new office at the corner of Eighth Street and Royal Avenue opened its doors in May. Until then, staff had been at 1001 Columbia St. since 2005. The Columbia location, however, carried a $650,000 annual lease for 9,800 square feet of space, according to school board chair Jonina Campbell. “Originally, back when (the board) thought they’d get the first capital project approved to replace New Westminster Secondary School, they tore down parts of the building, which when the capital project didn’t materialize, the board office didn’t have a place to go, so they had to go into Columbia Square,” Campbell explained. “That’s when we started having to take

Today, staff have a large board room to take advantage of and plenty of small meeting rooms amongst the two storeys. “It’s designed in a way that’s more efficient in terms of groups of people working together, having access to each other,” said Campbell. “It’s beautiful, it’s bright, it’s already full,” she chuckled. “We could already use more room.” PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until August 01, 2016.

out the lease per year. It was a very expensive situation.” Now that there are no more lease payments, superintendent Pat Duncan said that equates to about $400,000 a year in savings. That money has gone towards setting up the new 7,200-square-foot office and hiring the new staff at Fraser River Middle School, including the principal, viceprincipal, secretary and custodian. “We’re down by 138 students this year, and school districts are funded based on the number of students. Usually when students are down then staffing is down, but we’ve actually increased staffing,” Duncan told the Record during a recent tour of the building. Meanwhile, the new location at 811 Ontario St. is much more functional than its predecessor. At Columbia, school trustees shared the space with the district’s alternative programs. As a result, board meetings were held at city hall and com-

Loyal Young and the Restless fans at Royal City Manor were treated to a visit from longtime cast member Kate Linder. Linder, who has played Esther on the daytime drama since 1982, visited the local long-term care home on July 15 and took part in a question-and-answer session with residents. “Despite the cognitive challenges some of our residents face, they remember characters from the show from many years ago,” said Shannon Johnson, director
It’s going to seem like a dream to actually meet her in my home of care at Royal City Manor. “TheY&R Club provides stimulation and social interaction, both of which contribute to residents’ wellbeing.” Each afternoon, diehard Young and the Restless fans at Royal City Manor gather to watch their favourite show – a show some of them have
been watching since the 1970s. “I can’t wait to see her,” said one resident before Friday’s visit. “I love Esther on Y&R and I’ve been watching the program for years and years. It’s going to seem like a dream to actually meet her in my home.” Royal City Manor is a major sponsor of the 18th annual Afternoon Tea with Kate Linder and Friends, which was held in Vancouver on July 17. The annual event raises funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Young and old forge special relationships Daycare, seniors’ home join forces for programs Theresa McManus

Some of the Royal City’s youngest and oldest citizens are forging a special relationship through music and other activities. Graham Montessori Daycare staff recently started bringing small groups of the children to Royal City Manor to introduce them to residents of the long-term care home and familiarize them with the surroundings prior to a concert for residents. “It was a new environment for them. After the concert we kept bringing them there.You know what? They are crying to go there,” said Mila Rodova, manager of Graham Montessori Daycare’s Jamieson Court location. “They really love going there.” At Serenade for Seniors, a special multicultural concert for Canada Day, kids aged three to five sang songs in a number of languages
including English, French, Russian, Romanian, Korean and Chinese. Afterwards they enjoyed a variety of activities together. “We did notice how the seniors reacted.You could see their eyes getting warmer and brighter,” Rodova said. “Kids were really enjoying it.They were so excited.” Although the visits come with a cost to the daycare – Graham Montessori must bring in extra staff to meet staffing ratios at the centre when other teachers take the kids to the centre – principal Olga Gorenchtein supports the program, according to Rodova. “We believe it is very important for children.They learn how to interact with others, how to accept a little bit different people, how to treat others with respect. They don’t see a lot of people who are older,” Rodova said. “There is a great benefit for seniors.”
Yvonne Eamor, who helps promote events at Royal City Manor, said it’s been “heartbreakingly touching” to watch the seniors come alive as soon as the children enter the building. “It’s a win-win situation for both.The children will learn empathy and compassion; residents could become secondary grandparents to children who may not have grandparents, or whose grandparents live in another country,” she wrote in an email to the Record. “It’s hoped this will also become an innovative way to ensure seniors aren’t forgotten, especially those with cognitive challenges.” Graham Montessori Daycare hopes to continue building a relationship with Royal City Manor though events like a summer picnic and Halloween and Christmas activities.

I have been told I have dry eyes but they water all the time why is that?
A
Although it may not make sense, dry eye syndrome often leads to watery eyes. When the eye dries out, it sends signals DR HARLEEN TAKHAR to your tear glands to produce more tears. The tear glands may then produce poor-quality, watery tears that overwhelm the eye’s natural drainage system and spill over onto your cheeks! Dry eye syndrome can be a result of numerous factors including age, certain medications and medical conditions, the environment, or other variables. If your eyes tend to water frequently, please make an appointment with a Doctor of Optometry who can help determine the cause of your dry eyes and offer treatment options.

And the PIH scars (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation)? They are just an unpleasant reminder of painful days. Whether you’re dealing with an active case of acne or you want to be rid of the acne scars, consider LED therapy. This Nobel Prize winning therapy has been acclaimed and well-documented for aging, healing wounds, improving skin diseases such as eczema, and treating unreachable brain tumors. The benefits of using LED wavelengths is that light absorbing molecules use the various wavelengths as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For example the various wavelengths and the red, blue and infrared lights reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized circulation. Born from the initial work at NASA, LED was used in plant growth experiments. It was found to speed up the healing of astronaut injuries in outer space. LED light therapy has been scientifically proven by over 300 clinical trials to re-regulate cellular function in the treatment of many common conditions, restoring the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Using LED light to “reenergize” cellular function in a non-invasive manner allows the body to maintain vitality as nature intended.
Skin that has been exposed to LED grows new skin 150200% faster. Imagine what it can do for those old acne scars! And for acne sufferers, the LED blue light kills the P. acnes bacteria, the bacterium that causes acne. But get this: • The treatment is actually relaxing • There is no recovery time • There are no harsh chemicals • Kills P. Acne Bacteria: 90% of the contributing factors to acne • Clears existing breakouts • Restores skin’s healthy appearance An incredibly safe treatment, LED also works to reverse sun damage, large pores and fine lines and wrinkles. • Increases collagen and elastin production • Reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles • Improves skin’s firmness and resilience • Stimulates ATP (cellular energy)

Ten years ago we had our oil tank decommissioned (filled with sand). We have paperwork to substantiate this fact. Will this satisfy a prospective Buyer?
Ten years ago a decommissioned tank would have Park Georgia Realty satisfied all but the fussiest of buyers. Today it’s a non-starter. That tank must come out, and the soil below the tank must be re-tested. Only then will this home and property be insurable upon resale. There are 600 gallon sandbags buried all over the city. The term ‘decommissioned tank’ should set off alarm-bells. In my experience the cost to my clients who have had a tank removed has been $7500.00 on average.

Some Hiring Managers prefer to read cover letter, whilst others don’t. If a cover letter is not mentioned in the job posting, it is in your interest to submit this with your BRIAN HUNJAN resume, unless, the posting specifically Community Relations states “Resumes only”. On a side note, Coordinator state why you want to work for this employer, thereby demonstrating interest in and knowledge of the organization. This is a neat way to illustrate how your values align with the company’s. Cover letter is also a great place to showcase interpersonal and communication attributes that are highly valued by employers.

Can an Oral Appliance help my sleep apnea?
An Oral Appliance is most successful for people who snore, and those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used as combination therapy with CPAP in severe cases. The mouthpiece is worn over the bottom and top teeth, like a mouth guard, and gently repositions the lower jaw forward while you sleep. By pushing the jaw forward, it creates more space in the throat and stabilizes the lower jaw and tongue. It is always important to discuss whether an oral appliance would work for you, with your physician or Specialist. CanSleep works with a Specialist, who invented a custom oral appliance used by sleep apnea patients worldwide. Consultations are free and a better night’s sleep awaits you. CanSleep also provides an over the counter mouth piece, which targets snoring and mild to moderate sleep apnea. Visit one of our locations and find out more information on which treatment best fits you.

Q
Can I take my dog swimming this summer?
A
All dogs are not natural swimmers. Some dogs, and most cats do not like the water. Pets DR. MANJU ARORA are not aware of the dangers that water can pose. A few precautions can help you ensure that your pet enjoys the water safely this summer. Encourage your furry friend to step into a few inches of water in a lake or kiddie pool. If you try the test in a lake, use a leash so that your pet can be quickly reached if necessary. Always use a pet life jacket on your pet before entering the water. Do not force your pet into the water if he or she is fearful. Do not let your pet drink chlorinated, river or ocean water. Give your pet a bath after swimming.

Lawn bowling club is a New West institution Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The NewWestminster Lawn Bowling Club is a busy little place – but just wait till next year. From the time the club opens its clubhouse doors in May and shutters them in the fall, it’s a hub of activity with all sorts of tournaments and drop-in action on the greens in Moody Park. “This year is our 99th year.We are working very hard to try to do a big splash for next year.That’s my goal,” said Darren Hutchinson, president of the New Westminster Lawn Bowling Club. “We want this year to run as smoothly as possible, but we want to get it out there that next year is our 100th year.” Located next to Century House in Moody Park, the club has just over 100 members. Some have belonged to the club for years, while others, like Hutchinson and his wife, are newbies. “It can be as much fun as you want it to be, it can be as serious as you want
it to be,” Hutchinson said. “There’s a lot of high-end bowlers that do quite well and bowl out of NewWest.” The NewWestminster Lawn Bowling Club is home to some successful competitive lawn bowlers, but it’s also a place where anyone can enjoy a game of lawn bowling. “It’s relaxing. It’s enjoyable. No one is trying to oneup anybody,” Hutchinson said. “When you are there you are there because you want to be there because you want to have some fun, be around people and be relaxed.That’s what I really enjoy about it.” Newcomers attend introductory lessons, where they learn basic etiquette and proper techniques so they don’t hurt themselves when they start chucking balls. While the name lawn bowling suggests the sport is akin to bowling on grass, Hutchinson said it’s more like a cross between bocce and curling.The aim of the game is to roll balls, also called bowls, and get them to stop as close as possible

to a smaller white ball that’s known as the jack. “It’s very, very simple. It’s a lot of fun. It’s an easy game to play. It’s like anything, a tougher game to master if you want to be really competitive,” Hutchinson said. “What I really enjoyed and still enjoy, and probably the reason I spend so much time at it now, is that it is so much fun.The people are phenomenal. I have never found a group of
people that are as genuine and fun as the group here.” The NewWestminster Lawn Bowling Club rents the building and property from the City of NewWestminster but maintains the space that’s home to numerous tournaments and dropins. “You draw for partners or teams every time,” Hutchinson said. “If you are there and you really want to bowl with your husband, your
wife or your girlfriend, then you can go on the other side by yourself.You don’t have to take part.We have an upper and a lower green, so there is lots of space to throw bowls.” The NewWestminster Lawn Bowling Club is one of the clubs that still has two sets of greens, which is beneficial as it means the club can accommodate 32 teams at its tournaments. In addition to “visitations” from
other clubs, the local facility hosts about eight tournaments a year – including the popular Hyack Tournament in May. “We officially open for entries at midnight on the first Monday of May.The tournament is filled by Tuesday morning,” Hutchinson said. “There are literally people that will stop in at midnight to drop it through the slot.” Lawn bowling tends to attract an older crowd in New West, but the sport is catching on with a younger clientele in some communities. “We are seeing, across the Lower Mainland, younger people coming out in their 30s, late 20s,” Hutchinson said. “A lot of companies are trying lawn bowling as an event, where they come out and we will tell them about the game, teach them how to throw a ball and then they’ll do a two-hour bowling event.” And as the saying goes, membership has its privileges. “You can come in and throw bowls to your heart’s content,” Hutchinson said.

Growing Chefs gets a boost from Wild Rice Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Wild Rice is joining with other restaurants to help raise funds for Growing Chefs through its annual Eat. Give. Grow. fundraiser. Growing Chefs is a classroom gardening and cooking program that educates kids about healthy eating, local and urban agriculture, cooking, food security and healthy food systems. During the 2015/16 school year, the program reached 1,400 children in 47 classrooms across B.C. “We have always been big fans of Growing Chefs,” said Wild Rice owner Andrew Wong in a press release. “Thanks to them, many urban kids learn how to grow, harvest and taste a variety of organic and nutritious vegetables.This ties in perfectly with our mandate to serve food that is produced from ingredients that are organic, locally sourced and sustainably harvested.” Until the end of August,Wild Rice is donating $1 from two of its popular summer dishes – sautéed kale and crispy apple dumplings – to the initiative. The restaurant is located in River Market. REALTORS HELP CHARITIES A New Westminsterbased charity is benefiting from the generosity of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. The Realtors Care Shelter Drive recently set an alltime record, raising $47,329 for three housing charities in Metro Vancouver – Aunt Leah’s Place in New Westminster, Cythera Transition House in Maple Ridge and Yew Transition House in Sechelt. Aunt Leah’s Place helps prevent children in
foster care from becoming homeless and mothers in need from losing custody of their children. “The shelter drive is one example of our Realtors’ commitment to building, strengthening and helping the communities in which we work and live,” REBGV president Dan Morrison said in a press release. “Our members donated funds through different events and programs throughout the year that will help three local charities that provide crucial series to residents in

GET FIT ON THE FRASER WITH LOCAL BIZ A local business is inviting resident to get fit on the Fraser. ZHOOSH Fitness Garage is offering free Fitness on the Fraser classes on the boardwalk between Donald’s Market and Fraser River Discovery Centre on Monday, Aug. 1.Three demonstrations and classes for families are scheduled for the day: 1 to 3 p.m. – try on boxing gloves and throw a few punches; 1 to 2 p.m. – experience Abada Capoeira with Mestre Rasta; and 2 to 3 p.m. – join Sensei Bill
Hunter (Tashu Martial Arts) in karate. In the event of rain, the classes will move inside River Market on the second floor. JEWELRY BIZ EYES NEW WESTMINSTER The man who helped bring Blockbuster Video to Canada is eyeing New Westminster as a potential site for Fast Fix Jewelry and Watch Repairs. The company currently has 160 locations in the United States and five sites in the United Kingdom. It’s embarking on an expansion to Canada, beginning in B.C. and Ontario, and has identified Royal City Centre as a potential site for a franchise. “What sets us apart is we repair things while you wait. If you are shopping in a mall, you drop your items off – a ring to be sized, a necklace to be fixed, a clasp to be fixed on a bracelet, a watch to be repaired – go about your shopping and come back and we have your items ready,” company CEO Gerry Weber told the Record. “The current state of affairs, in most cases, items are sent away to be repaired.” Using the same equipment needed for jewelry repairs, the company also fixes eyeglass frames and cellphone screens. “This is my second time invading Canada,”Weber said. “Prior to that I actually invaded the U.S. I am actually from Toronto. I was with Shoppers Drug Mart way back when and actually introduced Shoppers into the United States. Subsequent to that I introduced Blockbuster Entertainment to Canada. Now I’m looking to do the same with Fast Fix Jewelry and Watch repair.”

BC New Home Construction Investment Up
N
31.9%, Led By Condo Surge: StatCan
ew housing construction investment in BC was up 31.9 per cent year over year, Statistics Canada reported July 21, led by a leap of 53 per cent for apartmentcondo buildings. Apartment-condos overtook detached homes as the housing type with the most investment in the province in May, up 4.3 per cent from April of this year to $419 million. May’s total new housing construction investment in BC of $937 million was just shy of April’s record-breaking $945 million, but still well above the previous record of $874 million from October 2015. The 0.9 per cent monthly dip was
primarily caused by a 7.3 per cent decrease in single-family home construction from April’s high of $430 million to $399 million in May, although investment in this home type was still up 17.4 per cent year over year. Townhouse and row house construction was up 35.5 per cent year over year to $90 million, a 5.1 per cent increase from April. Year-over-year duplex investment dropped again, down 6.3 per cent to $27.8 million, although this was up 3.8 per cent month over month. BC’s new housing construction investment was second only to that of Ontario, which spent $1.7 billion
in May. However, the year-over-year percentage increase was larger for BC, with Ontario seeing 24.3 per cent growth. In contrast to the strong yearly gains in BC and Ontario, investment in new housing construction fell in more than half of Canada’s provinces and territories: Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and Nunavut all saw year-over-year declines. Alberta’s 31.4 per cent drop was its 11th consecutive year-over-year decline. The gains in Ontario and BC pushed national new housing construction up five per cent year over year to $4.2

Community OUR PAST
Visiting vessels brought news from far-off lands Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
We have commented several times recently on everyday life in the early Royal City, focusing particularly on communication – what early citizens knew and could find out.The local press was a reliable source for them as it gathered material from a variety of places. But what other news sources did the early community have that could provide interesting and valuable information? Reports of the comings and goings of deep sea ships included all sorts of news. Frequently we read of such vessels dropping off newspapers or periodicals from far around the world. A short list from an early paper shows just how far and how new the stories might have been. We note the British barque Padaga, being 77 days out of Manila and 45 fromYokohama; the barque Legal Tender, 10 days from Port Madison, was in Puget Sound. Other shipping had connections with Sydney, Australia, Honolulu and Hong Kong. Of course there were always vessels from down the Pacific Coast and farther afield in Britain, Europe, Africa, South America and so on. A diverse selection indeed was available.
World news delivered through the telegraphic system was a regular newspaper feature, and it truly was from around the world. Again from the late 1860s, and under the boldly ornate heading “Telegraphic: Special dispatch to the British Columbian,” were connections to European news from Paris La Presse, La France and Le Moniteur as well as from the London Times.
Early citizens of New Westminster had many sources of reliable information
There were Mexican connections with references to Sonora, Mazatlan and Mexico City, and the United States from NewYork and San Francisco.They could also place subscription orders for some prominent periodicals. One large advertisement featured the publications The London Quarterly Review, The Edinburgh Review, TheWestminster Review, The North British Review and Blackwood’s
Edinburgh Magazine. In promoting these issues the distributor pointed out that an American audience seeking information about the recent U.S. Civil War might find the British viewpoint of interest, “considering the great ability and different standpoints from which they are written.” Many different newspapers seemed to find their way to our community in its early years. Sometimes the local paper would quote from the other publications or we might read that they were available in the city’s library reading room. Just as many do today, people went to the library to catch up on both national and world affairs. Another avenue to take to keep up with news, local or otherwise, was through attendance at the various groups that met regularly in town. Meetings of the Masons, Oddfellows, Sons of England or Scotland, St. Andrew’s Society and so on were places where information was shared. Early citizens of New Westminster had many sources of reliable information and a variety of choices and opportunities if they wanted to find something out – not nearly what we take for granted today, but for the time, a very respectable supply.

Junior Bellies in tough fight for Minto berth NewWestminster trails Delta in best-of-seven series after disappointing result Tuesday at Queen’s Park
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Tests of character can bring out the best in a team. The New Westminster junior A Salmonbellies have faced such a test, following Tuesday’s rough 12-6 setback to the Delta Islanders at Queen’s Park. It gave Delta a 3-1 series lead in their best of seven B.C. Junior A Lacrosse semifinal, with the mustwin Game 5 played Wednesday
(past the Record deadline). In their third loss, it all came down to the second period. Deadlocked 2-2 after 20 minutes, things fell apart when the Islanders exploded for seven goals en route to a 9-4 lead. It was the second straight game that New West had been doubledup on by the aggressive Islanders. “We’ve just got to go back to Game 2,” referenced New West coach Todd Stockdale, to where the Bellies dominated in a 9-6 win.
“If we don’t run the floor (better), connect on our passes or make better shots, we’re in trouble.” Delta counted three quick goals to start the middle frame, all off the stick of Chase Fraser, then answered back after Johnny Pearson scored New West’s third tally of the night with four more. Fraser finished with six goals, five of which came in a nine-minute span of the second period. New West got two goals and an assist from Brine Rice, while Jere-
my Bosher scored once and set up three others. Delta’s Kevin Orleman turned back 40 shots, while the tandem of Erik Kratz and Leighton Manuel faced 44 shots. in the Bellies net. Stockdale said with a berth into the Minto Cup tournament on the line – B.C.’s top two teams advance to the four-team tourney which starts next month in Langley – he knows his players are going to leave it all on the floor. “It’s the character of our guys
not to give up.You could see it (Tuesday), but it just seemed every bounce went the other way.” In Game 3, the host Islanders ripped open a 5-0 lead before New West replied. Fraser and former Burnaby captain Aidan Milburn each potted hat tricks for Delta. Bosher, with four goals, and Darrin Wilson, with two, led the Bellies attack. A sixth game, if necessary, would go Friday, 8 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena.
B.C. girls collect silver at boxla nationals NW trio off to Rio Dan Olson

Canadian 2016 Olympic team unveiled The 2016 Canadian Olympic team was officially announced this week, featuring 313 athletes from across the country. Among the long list of accomplished Canadians are a trio with New Westminster ties, from sports as divergent as field hockey, track and field and women’s gymnastics. New West’s Brenden Bissett was selected to patrol the midfield for the men’s field hockey team.The 23-year-old has played 45 games for Canada since 2011, despite missing nearly three years of action due to injuries. He has spent the past two years in the Canadian program, helping it win silver at the 2015 Pan Am Games. Track and field’s Mike Mason was born in New Westminster.The 29-year-old men’s high jumper is competing in his third Olympic Games, with Beijing and London his prior experiences. In 2012 Mason advanced to the final where he placed eighth, and followed that with a silver medal at last year’s Pan Am Games. Like Mason, Brittany Rogers was born in the Royal City.The gymnast is going to her second Olympics, after debuting in London. The 23-year-old Rogers, who wrapped up a four-year college career at the University of Georgia as a five-time All American last year, advanced to the vault final in London, finishing seventh.
It didn’t end the way they planned. But the experience proved better than imagined. The members of Team B.C.’s midget girls lacrosse team ventured to Calgary with a medal in mind and returned with silver after getting edged 7-5 by Ontario in the final. “It was a fantastic experience, and the girls from New Westminster in particular really rose to the challenge,” remarked midget head coach Blair Bradley. Over seven games, the squad established its credentials as finalists, including beating Ontario 3-1 on the opening day.The New West players – Hannah Bernoe, Graceyn Dean, Jessica Soenen and netminder Jenna Phillips – each took turns in playing pivotal roles in the run to the final. In the final showdown with Ontario, B.C. broke out to a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes and were up 4-3 after two period before the favoured easterners found a way to turn the tables, scoring four goals in the third period. “We got off to a very good start but I don’t know what happened,” remarked Phillips. “Ontario was very quick. It was disappointing.” She added that the whole tournament was an amazing experience. “It was totally memorable.This is an amazing group of girls I won’t forget,” she said. “It was like a family.” Phillips split the netminding duties with PoCo’s Megan Morris, racking up three wins in the process. In a pair of wins over Alberta, which saw B.C. post 6-3 and 7-4 decisions, Hannah Bernoe counted a natural hat trick, while Dean scored twice and set up another in the other game. Bernoe deposited two goals and an assist in a 10-1 victory over Nova Scotia, while Soenen scored and Dean contributed three assists. In their other encounter with the Maritime champions, Bernoe cashed in twice while Dean added a goal and Phillips registered the shutout in a 7-0 win. “Dean was our captain and she was the perfect quiet leader,” said Bradley. “She just went out and did it, leading by example. (Soenen) was a utility player who played hard at both ends of the floor, was the one who really settled first into the system we implemented. “As a first-year midget player, (Bernoe) was a real sparkplug who led our team in goals. And Phillips was just incredible, a great team player who gave us the netminding we needed.” Bradley also commended New West native Shianne Lowka, the team’s alternate, who practiced and remained ready to play but just didn’t get the opportunity. “(Lowka) is a great kid, a real team-first per-

son who was there through it all.” B.C.’s female bantam team also secured silver, falling 4-1 to Ontario in the final despite finishing with a 2-5 record. The lineup included New West’s Laren Black, Avery Dean, Sophie Morris and Sydney Smith,
and Burnaby’s Cassie Chan and netminder Jamie Richards. The club’s two wins in the tournament came against Alberta, 4-2 and 4-3, with Richards between the pipes on both occasions. Black finished the tourney with three assists.
Bellies build case for first place
With first place still in their grasp, the New Westminster senior A Salmonbellies have two games left to close the deal. Sitting atop of the Western Lacrosse Association with an 11-3-2 record, New West holds a five-point lead on Maple Ridge and Burnaby, who as of Wednesday noon were tied for second spot. But the only team in the Bellies’ rearview mirror are the fourth-place Victoria Sham-
rocks, who played yesterday (past the Record’s deadline) in one of its five games to play. If New West sweeps its final two games – including tonight’s showdown, 7:45 p.m. against Langley at Queen’s Park Arena – it gives them 28 points and locks up the regular season title, guaranteeing them home floor advantage through the playoffs. While a similar sweep by Victoria would also give them
28 points, the Bellies would take first place by virtue of a 2-1 head-to-head record. In last week’s win, New West got a standout performance from netminder Alexis Buque, who kicked out 40 shots in a 10-6 win over Maple Ridge. Mitch Jones and Anthony Malcom both collected hat tricks in the decision. The squad closes out the regular season on Sunday in Maple Ridge.

All Stars make some noise NewWest’s run at junior provincials end in semifinal
Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
The New Westminster Junior All Stars slugged it out with the best teams from across B.C., pushing it all the way to the semifinal before being eliminated 8-6 by Lynn Valley at the provincial Major (13 and 14 year olds) Little League championships in North Vancouver earlier this month. New West led early in the semifinal but saw a 5-3 advantage evaporate over the late innings despite strong pitching performances from the duo of Kai Storms and Mattias Ciprian. Carter Nestman drove in a pair of RBI singles, while Dylan Hamilton stole three bases and scored twice to spark the offence. On the other side of the
ball, centerfielder Kinsale Philip made a tremendous throw to nail a runner at third base, while shortstop Alex Lazecki flashed a hot glove. To advance to the semifinal, New West defeated favoured Fraser Valley 104.Taking on a team composed of players from Whalley, Langley and Coquitlam associations, the Royal City crew never wavered or flailed, instead coming out ahead on the strengths of a great pitching performance from Lazecki. Over seven innings the righthander scattered four hits and three walks and limited the Valley’s big rally cry, while Jake Kain powered home three RBI on two hits. Also registering a pair of hits apiece were Hamilton and Nestman.
The other run was produced by Noah Musgrave, who drew a clutch basesloaded walk in the third inning. Jomar DeChavez and Ciprian also picked up hits on the day. Stepping up with steady defence was Nestman, who as catcher worked in tandem with Lazecki and caught two runners attempting to steal third base. New West opened the tournament by blasting Lynn Valley 7-3, as Storms and Ciprian combined on a three-hitter. Lazecki posted a pair of hits in the game and scored twice, while Michael Walters, Musgrave and Storms also recorded hits. Saving a run with a spectacular catch in right field was Gavin Pierce.
Bringing the heat: New Westminster All Star pitcher Alex Lazecki launches his next fastball during last week’s Little League Junior provincials in North Vancouver. The New West team advanced to the semifinals, where the road ended in an 8-6 loss to Lynn Valley. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
