Man gets 13 years for arsons, shootings Langley resident sentenced for attacks against people who parked at the Justice Institute of B.C. Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@newwestrecord.ca

The man responsible for a campaign of terror against innocent people who parked their cars at the Justice Institute of B.C. in New West-

minster will spend more than a decade behind bars for his crimes.

Last week, a B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced Vincent Eric GiaHwa Cheung to 13.5 years in jail for 18 counts of arson

and drive-by shootings that occurred around the Lower Mainland.

With time already served awaiting trial, he’ll spend another 12 years in jail.

Cheung, a Langley resident, was originally facing

23 charges related to targeted attacks against 15 victims connected to the Justice Institute of B.C. He was accused of shooting at and setting fire to homes, vehicles or property owned by the victims between April 2011 and January 2012.

Last week, Cheung pleaded guilty to 18 charges.

FOR THE LOVE OF FIDO New West resident Margaret Halsey has made it her mission to paint dog and cat portraits for a cause.

‘I’ve captured the spirit’ Margaret Halsey is raising money for B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A New West artist is hoping to raise some money for dog-related charities by offering to paint dog or cat faces on a local fence.

Margaret Halsey has owned a pooch for the last two decades and routinely goes for walks with her fourlegged companion, Smyth, a black and white whippet. As residents of Devoy Street, part of their route includes strolling past a laneway at Sixth Street, just below Eighth Avenue.

Last July, after envisioning a “mural of dog faces” along the bare fence that stood in that laneway, Halsey approached the homeowner on whose property it stood to ask if she’d be OK with letting her start the project.

“I thought it would be something the neighbours would appreciate,” Halsey told the Record. “She loved the idea right away.We started with my dogs and hers, and I called it the dogs of Sixth and Devoy.”

Fast forward to today and the mural now contains 15

dogs and four cats, with room for 15 more.

Two of those canines are a guide dog puppy and his sibling, both belonging to a woman Halsey met last year while painting. It was at that point Halsey decided to turn her labour of love into a fundraiser that would benefit dog charities.

“I’m asking for a donation of minimum $50 for a face on the fence,” she said, adding she recently made a $250 contribution to B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs, which also provides support for people on the autism spectrum.

From initial sketches to the final product, Halsey noted it can her up to 10 hours to complete one portrait. She first starts by looking at a photograph of the animal and drawing it out.

Once she’s satisfied, she takes the drawing to the fence and makes herself a grid, to ensure the image is proportioned, and starts painting.

“Sometimes I get to a point, and I look at it, and it’s finished because I’ve captured the spirit of the

dog,” she said.

Halsey admitted she’s had to make some adjustments to her craft. Her usual medium of choice is paper or canvas, and she’s experimented with only a few outdoor surfaces, including a dog mural on the side of her former East Vancouver home.

But the response from local animal enthusiasts has been nothing but positive.

“While I’m painting, they say, ‘Wow, awesome, we love walking by. It’s good of you.’

I also get people taking my

card, saying ‘I’ll send you my picture,’” Halsey said.

The local artist can be seen in action at the fence during the New West Cultural Crawl on Sunday, Aug. 14 between 1 and 4 p.m.

She’ll be accepting commissions by donation and can also be reached by email, clephadij@shaw.ca.

Asked what she’ll do next once that space is filled up, Halsey said she already has another fence in mind.

The deadline is fast approaching to register students for a bus service from the city’s West End to the new middle school on Eighth Street.

The charter service was first proposed in May by a group of parents from the West End. Krista Burrows, one of the parents organizing the service, said parents were concerned about students walking four kilometres or more along busy streets to get to the new middle school.

The charter bus would pick up students destined for Fraser River Middle School from Connaught Heights, Lord Tweedsmuir and Lord Kelvin elementary schools and return them at the end of

the day. At the time, a survey was circulated in the community to gauge interest, and about 60 families expressed interest.

Burrows is reminding parents keen to get their kids on the bus to register by Aug. 7. (The original deadline was Aug. 1, but Burrows extended it.)

If fewer than 54 students sign up, there will be no charter bus come September, according to an email from organizers.

The service costs $75 per student per month. A payment of $375 for September to January 2017 is due by Aug. 7 along with a completed registration form. For more info and to download a form, visit fraserriverpac.ca/bus-regi stration.

Suspects charged Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@newwestrecord.ca

New West police have made two new arrests related to a home invasion in July.

Last week, the department announced charges against two more men in their early 20s for their part in an alleged home invasion in the 400 block of Queens Avenue.

Given the very serious nature of this incident, it was a high priority…

Carlos Fernando Almendarez Navaro and Victor Junior James, both 22 years old and from Port Coquitlam, have been charged with aggravated assault, break-and-enter, unlawful confinement, robbery and possession of property obtained by crime.

The incident happened

on July 6, when police were called to an interrupted break-and-enter at a home around 4 a.m. A resident was found inside suffering from significant but non-life-threatening injuries.

An initial suspect, Stephen Smith, a 21-year-old Coquitlam resident, was identified and taken into custody on July 7. He faces the same charges as the other suspects.

“Given the very serious nature of this incident, it was a high priority investigation from the start.We have dedicated a significant amount of resources into making sure no stone was left unturned in identifying those we believe are responsible,” said Staff Sgt. Chad Johnston, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department, in a statement. “While these kinds of incidents are rare, they can have a significant impact on a community, and we are pleased that these three individuals are in custody due to the hard work of the investigators involved.”

The police did not say why the home was the target for the robbery.

Local swing dance safe, for now

Pensioners association and Royal City Swing hammer out compromise

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

An emergency meeting has saved New Westminster’s popular weekly swing dances from neighbourhood noise complaints – for now.

Royal City Swing – a group that attracts more than 100 people to the Sapperton Old Age Pensioners Hall for dances every Friday – got a notice last Wednesday from the owners of the hall, the Sapperton Old Age Pensioners Association.

Because of noise complaints from neighbours, the association said all renters would have to vacate the venue and parking lot by 10:30 p.m. instead of midnight, effective July 27.

Royal City Swing organizers told the Record last week the change would sink the dances.

“We would have to close,” said co-founder Kyle MacDonald. “People pay $10 to dance.They’re regular working people.They can’t show up at five o’clock; 7:30 p.m. is pushing it for a lot of

people. A lot of people can’t even show up until 9 p.m.

They’re not going to pay $10 for one hour of dancing.”

After a barrage of emails from distraught swing dancers, however, the pensioners association backed off its original hardline stance late last week.

“I think we’ve realized how what we do at the hall affects them,” said association director Bev Bentham.

“We’ve appreciated their comments, but we’ve also told them that we’re getting pressure from the city and we have to make sure that the noise is controlled after 10 p.m.”

The association met with MacDonald and his Royal City Swing co-founder Afonso Silveira Friday afternoon, and the dance that night ran to 11:45 p.m. as usual but with a few changes.

“It worked out OK,” MacDonald said Monday.

“The dancers were very accommodating to the changes.”

The event attracted more than 100 people, a larger than usual crowd for a holiday week, according to MacDonald.The front doors were closed at 10 p.m. and people coming in and out were required to use the back door opening onto an alley.Volunteers at the front door ensured people didn’t go out that way, and volunteers at the back encouraged dancers stepping out for a breath

of fresh air to walk down to Columbia Street to chat.

The pensioners association allowed dance organizers to open some sealed windows to make up for the lost airflow when the

front door was closed, but that didn’t exactly keep the un-air-conditioned building cool, according to MacDonald.

“The dance was impacted, definitely,” he said. “It was a good five degrees warmer without the airflow.”

The pensioners association has considered air conditioning for the hall, according to Bentham, but funding has been an obstacle.

“We haven’t got to that point yet because we need to apply for grants to have the work done at the hall,” she said.

Aside from the stuffiness of the hall, however, MacDonald was satisfied with the outcome of the emergency meeting Friday.

“We’re very happy the pensioners are now working with us and treating us like valued renters,” he said.

Bentham expressed similar sentiments.

“Everything appears to be resolved for the time being,” she said.

Heavy food trucks too beefy for parkade Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Many food trucks are too hefty for the Front Street parkade.

A report to council states the parkade is only able to accommodate food trucks under 10,000 pounds.

“The placement of food trucks and associated customer activities on the top deck of the Front Street parkade is pushing the limits of the structural capacity of the parkade,” according to the report. “Only certain portions of the deck slabs have the structural ability to support some food trucks and their congregating of customers.”

Only the central portion

of the Fourth Street access ramp has the capacity to allow trucks to drive on and off the parkade, noted the report. In order to use the parkade for food trucks, staff says the ramp and parkade would need to be delineated with temporary barriers to direct trucks to areas where people can assemble.The cost of setting up and tearing down these temporary barricades is estimated to be about $2,000 per event.

A staff report stated that cars, pick-up trucks and SUVs range in weight from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds, but fully equipped food tucks can weigh between 8,000 and 15,000 pounds. A consultant has identified areas

Load limit: Food trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds are too heavy for the Front Street parkade.

on the top of the parkade where food trucks weighing in at a maximum of 10,000 pounds could be accommodated.

While the parkade has been used for filming in the past, staff noted a structur-

al engineer evaluated the parkade before trucks and heavy equipment were allowed to use the space and equipment was usually confined to specific areas of the parkade.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Rule of law is a precious commodity Three years ago, a mixture of fear and relief coursed through our nation when we learned the RCMP saved countless Canadians from a terrorist attack plotted by al-Qaida sympathizers.

The self-radicalized couple placed pressure cooker bombs near the provincial legislature in Victoria on Canada Day.They seemed monstrous, but like any movie monster, they had a

creator.

“The world has enough terrorists.We do not need the police to create more,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce said in her ruling, handed down last Friday.

According to Bruce, the RCMP manufactured the plot after using a Mr. Big sting to incite two impoverished, drug-addled Surrey residents – neither of whom seemed overly burdened

Addiction, poverty and ignorance are fertile ground where the ugliest propaganda prospers. with brilliance.

One of the accused had expounded on plans to hijack a nuclear submarine and hack into and topple the Israeli government’s computers.

Instead of facing a life sentence in prison, John Nuttall and Amanda Korody are free, pending an appeal.

As the fear of terrorism escalates, their case is a stark

reminder of how precious the rule of law is and must continue to be in Canada.

The judgment may be criticized, but we believe forfeiting judicial oversight in times of danger is akin to a soldier shedding his possessions while fleeing the battlefield. In short, the act of a coward.

However, while the police may have resorted to entrapment, it’s important to note the incredibly violent

rhetoric that propelled their investigation. Addiction, poverty and ignorance are fertile ground where the ugliest propaganda prospers.

The RCMP spent about $900,000 on overtime and involved 240 officers in the case. If a few of those resources had gone towards drug counselling, job training or education, we might have all benefitted.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Expect Site C ripple effect It was announced with little fanfare by B.C. Hydro, but the federal government’s decision last week to grant two key permits for the Site C dam project may have major implications for all kinds of resource developments across the country.

The decision came amidst quiet grumbling among the provinces over the new government’s snail’s pace when it comes to making decisions on difficult issues.

It’s easy for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make appearances at things like the Pride Parade, but it’s another thing entirely when it comes to making the call on something that will cause you political grief no matter which way you go.

And Trudeau is already feeling a backlash from environmentalists and some First Nations, who are furious he has given the green light to a project they vehemently oppose.

Of course, as I pointed out in this space in January, those hoping Trudeau would kibosh the Site C dam were naively dreaming in Technicolor.

Such a move would create a potential constitutional crisis, and cause irreparable damage to the relationship between the federal government and the B.C. government, which views Site C dam as the centerpiece of its economic development platform.

No, the more realistic concern regarding Trudeau and the Site C dam was how long he was going to

wait before moving forward with his backing of it. His government’s foot-dragging when it came to making a decision was causing considerable nervousness at B.C. Hydro because of the financial implications of a non-decision.

The permit approvals came through at literally the 11th hour. Any further delay would have resulted in a high number of temporary layoffs (likely hundreds) and considerable financial penalties in the millions of dollars. But now work can proceed, and the only hope for opponents of the dam resides in court, where they have been demonstrably unsuccessful at every turn.

Does this signal the government is willing to do so on other major projects – the Kinder Morgan and Energy East pipelines, an LNG industry, port developments, mining – that are a mixed bag when it comes to support or opposition from various First Nations?

The pro-development side is surely rejoicing at the Trudeau government’s green-lighting of the Site C dam project. It pushes some of the other major projects in this country closer to the building stage and off the planning board where they’ve been stuck for so long.

Whether they can remain in the building stage amid court challenges, primarily by some First Nations, is an open question however.

A funny thing happened on the way to the morgue...

A routine traffic accident took a bizarre twist for two New Westminster police officers in February. A truck northbound on McBride failed to make the sharp western curve and ploughed into the bank.The driver told the first officer on scene he had been alone in the vehicle, but a second officer found a dead body in the back.

The two cops called for reinforcements and prepared to arrest the man, but it turned out his job was transporting bodies for the morgue.

Dear Editor I would just like to write a quick letter and ask for people to be more considerate. I live near St. Peter’s graveyard in Sapperton. Everyday I see people letting their dogs run through the graveyard and do their business on peoples graves. I Many of these am disgusted by graves are the lack of respect dog owners soldiers that these are giving to these gave their burial sites.

Many of these lives… graves are soldiers that gave their lives for our country. Do you really feel that letting your dog urinate and defecate on these young soldiers’ graves is acceptable?

Questions: – Are we not all taxpayers where we share the ups and downs in our city?

– Would the Quay/downtown residents want preferential treatment at the expense of others? Personally, I do not think so.

– Are the residents who live on the other routes “chopped liver” to carry the brunt of pollution and noise to save the Quay/downtown residents?

This is an ongoing problem and we need to work together to solve it for the benefit of New West residents especially those directly affected.

Municipalities don’t need more money Dear Editor Re: housing and homelessness in B.C. cities. City governments are not doing a satisfactory job with densification – less family-friendly, less people-friendly, less senior-friendly, less disabled-friendly, less pet-friendly, less healthy, less livable, much more costly, with more pollution of all kinds, especially stress pollution, resulting in lower productivity, more accidents, more crime, more health-care costs and less happiness.

Cities do not need more financial support but rather need much better community cooperative planning, better management and better leadership.

Ponta Vedra The photo used at top is a bit unfortunate. I have a Shiba Inu, and I know very well that look the dog is giving. The dog is clearly saying, “Sorry, I know you want me to poop, but it’s not happening now. Let’s go somewhere else.” As for the pooping station, I like the concept, but if the problem is that owners are not scooping their poop, then the station will not help. What you have are lazy and inconsiderate dog owners, who probably will not change their actions—to use the station would be *more* work, not less. Not to mention that if more than one dog comes into the space at one time, then you can probably forget about either one pooping.

Accessibility a priority for New West Pride of issues with accessibility at last year’s Pride, including blocked curb ramps, where tables and fencing were placed, and limited promotion about American Sign Language were brought to the board’s attention.

“People had a lot of questions about what they could access and how they could access those spaces,” she said. “We are the New West festival with a human rights focus, so we knew we had to take this on. Our model is all about community involvement, so we designed the initiative to influence all the festivals that happen in New West.”

Rosemary Newton

Special to the Record

This year New West Pride has an increased focus on making its events accessible to the entire community and is hoping to lead the way in barrier-free events for the city.

An accessibility committee was formed by New West Pride late last year with a goal to remove barriers that might prevent all members of the community from taking part in the festivities. Committee head and Pride organizer Hayley Sinclair said the committee was founded after a number

To meet their goals, the committee created an accessibility audit and distributed it to the organizers involved in Pride community events.

Hosts then self-reported on a variety of accessibility factors for their venue and event, including wheelchair access, cost and availability of gender neutral bathrooms. According to Sinclair, organizers were more than happy to get on board.

“Everyone really embraced this idea,” she said.

At the Columbia Street Party, big headway has been made.There will be American Sign Language on stages, two fully-accessible bath-

rooms and gender-neutral bathrooms on the street party site, wheelchair and priority seating under a tent near the front of the main stage, curb ramp entrance by all tables and tents, and a shade tent at the food court.

Accessibility volunteers will be present to ensure continued access and pathways through all outdoor pubs and food areas.

“It was a big team effort, and a lot of people were involved on different levels, and there are a lot of moving parts on this project,’’ said Sinclair. “We set a goal for this to be the most accessible festival that New

West has ever seen and I think we surpassed it.”

A festival map highlighting accessibility features has been created using the information.The map will be made available online and handed out in print for the Street Party. Sinclair hopes by publicizing information and spreading the word, community members who may face barriers to participation will know they are welcome, will be able to plan ahead and make informed decisions.

“Too often we invite the community to an event and when members arrive, they aren’t able to enter or pee.

We need to change this.We can’t just make assumptions that everyone’s body works the same,’’ said Sinclair.

The information from the individual venue audits will also be made available to The City of New Westminster, private businesses that hold community events and local organizers. New West Pride also offers gender neutral bathroom signage for private businesses on their website.

New West Pride’s community calendar, complete with accessibility information for all New West Pride events, is available at www. newwestpride.ca.

Crown counsel satisfied with judge’s sentence Continued from page 1 noting the accused waged a campaign of fear and violence against innocent victims.

He did take into consideration that Cheung pleaded guilty, avoiding a trial, and that he hasn’t used drugs since his arrest.

Both the Crown and defence agreed his sentence should be between 10 and 15 years.

Outside the courthouse in Vancouver, Cheung’s lawyer Martin Peters called the sentence “very long.”

“This is a significant sentence and it’s a significant

sentence relevant to very serious crimes,” he said.

Crown lawyer Joe Bellows said he was satisfied with the sentence, adding it should send a message to anyone “like-minded.”

He also said he spoke to the victims prior to the guilty plea a few weeks

back, and suggested they were still traumatized but content with the sentence.

Meanwhile, an investigation into some of Cheung’s associates continues. Bellows noted the person believed to have helped run the licence plates is still under investigation and was

not named in court.

Thurman Taffe also pleaded guilty to one count of arson related to the case, according to media reports.

For more than two years, no new attacks were reported after the original 10-month spree.

And then, between Dec.

31, 2014 and Jan. 13, 2015, two of the original victims received letters in the mail. One of the letters contained a warning that attacks would resume in the new year. After an undercover investigation, Cheung was eventually arrested and charged last September.

Gravestone preservation project on this month

Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Gravestones at Fraser Cemetery will once again be delicately cleaned throughout the month of August.

The New Westminster Museum is bringing back last summer’s Saving Our Stones project, which trains volunteers about best practices.

“It’s pretty simple,” heri-

tage programmer Michelle Taylor told the Record.

“You examine the stone. If it’s showing any sign of deterioration, we won’t clean it because you can do more harm than good.We always tell people to be as gentle as possible.”

Taylor said the only tools volunteers are given are water and soft brushes, like a toothbrush. Popsicle sticks are another one. Metal,

however, is a no-no.

“That’s because stones are composed in minerals and salts.We don’t know what the material is, so we don’t want to cause a chemical reaction,” she said, adding markers are cleaned from the bottom up to avoid streaking and further staining.

Last year, about 15 to 20 people showed up for each Saving Our Stones session.

Despite the hot weather, Taylor said most of the volunteers stayed for the whole two hours.

“It was great.We had people come out who said they had family in the cemetery and they wanted to concentrate on their stone. Some people have actually said, ‘I never thought to clean my family’s gravestone.’”

The inaugural event also garnered some interest from

a local cadet group, who were all 18 or younger.They rang up Taylor and organized a separate cleanup.

“I think they were really touched. It was something that was very physical and they were able to translate it into reality.When you talk about war, about death, especially at a young age, it’s not necessarily easy to understand.When you look at these gravestones, looking at

when they lived, when they died, I think they were quite moved by it,” said Taylor.

Cleanups are scheduled for Aug. 7, 13 and 17, from 10 a.m. to noon. All ages welcome.Volunteers can stay for as little or as long as they’d like. Registration is required. Call 604-5274640 or email museum @newwestcity.ca. Fraser Cemetery is at 100 Richmond St. Meet at the office.

Hassan said people are catching Pokémon all over the market and posting on Instagram; they’ve found Pokémon in Wally’s Burgers and in their tea cups.

The River Market is trying to get in on the craze and has put up signs encouraging people to take photos to win a free lunch.

If you’re looking for a hot spot to play Pokémon GO in New Westminster, River Market appears to be the place.

Millions have downloaded the Pokémon GO app and are collecting critters from a virtual world that overlaps with our reality. Game-maker Nintendo plants key game features at landmarks around the world, and River Market is full of them.

“What we have here at the market is three nodes.

The Tin Soldier, the orca whale and the tugboat create this perfect little area for people to collect Pokémon,” said Salim Hassan, River Market’s marketing manager.

Because the hot spot attracts a lot of players, some have dropped “lures,” drawing more Pokémon to the area, which then draws more people, Hassan explained.

The market’s proximity to the Fraser also means play-

New West Pride gears up for local festival Pride organizers say the festival is going to be ‘absolutely amazing’ Tereza Verenca

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

New West Pride is expected to attract its biggest crowd to date, according to organizers.

Some 40,000 people are expected to come out for the week-long celebration, which kicks off on Aug. 6 and culminates on Saturday, Aug. 13 with the Columbia Street Party.

“We’re going big. I think it’s going to be absolutely amazing,” Mike Tiney, president of the New West Pride Society, told the Record.

“There seems to be talk on social media about Pride, a hype leading up to it.”

This is the seventh year the Royal City has hosted an LGBTQ+ event.The festival was originally held at Tipperary Park until three years ago when it moved to Columbia Street.

Tiney credited the buzz and boost in attendance to the society’s accessibility committee, which for the first time put together a full review of all the Pride venues. Each audit disclosed information about a venue’s parking, whether it’s close to transit, if there’s a cost involved, if there’s proper exterior signage and more.

“There were a couple

comments after last year’s festival that we had blocked some ramps on the sidewalk with some vendor tents. People didn’t know if they’d be able to get in, like at the Heritage Grill, the backroom had stairs,” he explained. “We do have a couple members that are in wheelchairs, that are deaf and blind.We thought we really need to focus on that.”

New West Pride Week kicks off with a dance party at the Brooklyn Bar (250 Columbia St.) on Aug. 6, from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. the annual Pride patio party goes the next day at The Terminal Pub from 1 to 7 p.m. Local brewery Steel & Oak will have two specially-crafted Pride beers on tap. After those celebrations, there’s the popular drag show at the Heritage Grill.

Tickets are $10 at the door, but reservations are recommended.

Other events during the week include the rainbow flag raising ceremony at city hall (511 Royal Ave.) at noon on Aug. 8.There’s also the Pride family picnic at Pier Park on Aug. 9, starting at 6 p.m. Bring a blanket, some food and take in a screening of Labyrinth, showing at dusk. Games,

Bold colours: Hugo A Go-Go and Shawno Ashmore walk hand-in-hand during the 2014 Pride festival. This year, organizers are expecting a huge turnout of nearly 40,000 people. PHOTO RECORD FILES

dress-up and music are encouraged.

Don’t miss out on the second annual Pride Hoedown, hosted by the Century House Seniors Gay Straight Alliance. Brush up on line-dancing, two-stepping and square dancing on Aug. 10, from 1 to 4 p.m.

The Columbia Street Party, on Aug. 13, will have a children’s area, five outdoor pubs, a puppet show,

food trucks with shade and three stages, including an all-choir stage. Performers include Michael Fraser, Kimmoral, Miz Adrien and Top Less Gay Love Tekno Party. At 6:15 p.m., as a tribute to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, the Pride society will lead a crowd sing-along of Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors.

“It’s going to be really in-

teresting to try and pull it off, but we think we got the key players in place to actually do it,” said Tiney, adding that Pride events are still needed in today’s world.

“We’re no different than anybody else, and it doesn’t matter what religion or what colour we are or what our sexual preference is.We have every right to be here just as everybody else does.”

Tiney noted the support

from the community has been overwhelming.

“We hit February and we already had people emailing us, asking how they could get involved. Even our sponsors.We have a whole ton of new sponsors, which is just wow, amazing,” he said.

POKÉMON WALKING TOUR

WHAT IS IT? The City of New Westminster is jumping on the Pokémon GO phenomenon and is organizing a historical walking tour, featuring some of the game’s popular Pokéstops. Staff will guide players to some of the Royal City’s most iconic landmarks, including the CPR Railway Station, the Great Fire of 1898 (mosaic) and Ab Ovo The Fertile Nest.

Gyms, which are usually in public spaces, like parks and churches.

WHAT IS THE GAME ABOUT? Through a mobile app, players enter an augmented reality where they can catch animals – Pokémon – from a virtual world that overlaps with real life. The most desirable Pokémon destinations are called Pokéstops and Pokémon

IS THERE A COST TO ATTEND? No. The event is free and open to all ages, but registration is strongly encouraged. Call 604527-4640 or email museum@newwestcity. ca.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW? Participants are asked to meet in the Anvil Centre lobby at 10:30 a.m.

The tour goes until noon.

If you arrive early or stay late, city staff will have lures set, which attract more Pokémon. Also, be mindful of where you’re walking so you don’t stumble into traffic or into another player.

– By Tereza Verenca

Players can also catch critters by battling each other. The ultimate goal?

To catch ’em all, all 151 of them.

DO YOU NEED TO BE A HIGH-LEVEL PLAYER? No. You could be just starting out or have never played the game.

“Bryn Ward recently helped us buy our first home, and was amazing to work with throughout the process. 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

By Rosemary Newton

WITH JAZMINE KHAN

New Westminster local, trans activist,Youtuber, and radio host Jazmine Khan will take to the stage at New West Pride Columbia Street Party as host. We caught up with the charismatic 20 year old who had recently arrived home from a 22-hour trip to Edmonton to see Beyoncé’s Formation World Tour.

Your Youtube channel (youtube.com/ JazmineKhan) is popular. How did you decide to start it?

I always wanted to vlog. When I came out as trans in 2010, I had not yet seen a trans person in the media, including Youtube. So I thought hey, what if I vlog my transition? I spent the following four years vlogging my transition from male to female, then at some point in 2014 I had what I call “The Trans Stealth Dilemma.” At some point when I started to pass as female, I realized oh crap, I don’t want to be openly trans anymore, I just want to be known as a [presumably cisgender] woman. And so I actually privated all my videos from my transition (losing 450,000 views from my channel). I now realize how stupid that was. I shouldn’t have let myself

You’re a radio host with QueerFM, tell me about that gig.

I host QueerFM, Tuesdays 8 to 10:30 am on CiTR 101.9fm. We talk about queer events, queer news, and the music we play is (mostly female) queer artists. We also share stories.

I’m the one that’s made it way more personal, to like a podcast model, I’ll talk about my life and experiences while my co-host DJ Denise stays professional and sticks to the news.

What does it mean to you to be hosting New West Pride?

It is such an honour that New West Pride picked me out of all the people out there to host. It not only shows how committed New West Pride is to representing all parts of the queer community, but it also shows their dedication to bringing light to voices that aren’t always heard in mainstream media. As a trans woman of colour; my voice is rarely heard in society, and is practically inaudible in the media, regardless of how loud I scream and shout. New West Pride is a real community festival, it is the last of many, and I’m glad it’s going strong! They’re estimating that 40,000 people are coming this year. That’s like 80% of of New Westminster’s population on Columbia Street, it’s just mindbogglingly and the fact that I’ll be getting in Formation on stage the entire day is going to be crazy! I can’t wait!

What sets New West Pride apart?

New West Pride truly sticks to the definition of pride and that is embracing everyone regardless of their race, colour, or creed, and

making everyone feel loved and accepted. It’s not gay pride, it’s New West Pride, and that’s what makes it so different. ‘New Westies’ have this wicked sense of pride that encompasses everyone in the rainbow, I think that’s what makes us really unique, not just for Prides in Greater Vancouver, but for Prides in the world.

How would you describe your hosting style?

I’m going to try to say this as beautifully as I possibly can; I’m a low budget, talentless, chubby Indian Beyonce with way better dick jokes and higher heels (laughs). Honestly though, I try to be joyful, consistent and educational in anything that I host. One of the first things that I’m hoping to talk about when I go up on stage is about trans rights and how

we are so privileged to be here in New West, because just a quick flight away, people are literally being jailed for going to the bathroom… It’s ridiculous What does Pride mean to you?

It means loving yourself and all of your intersections, that’s what Pride is to me. There’s no reason to change for anyone. For me, Pride is just loving yourself regardless of all the things that society tells you that you’re not suppose to be loved for.

You can catch Jazmine on the Canawrap Main Stage on Saturday, Aug 13th from 3 - 8 pm at the New West Pride Columbia Street Party!

Celebrate New West Pride!

New West PRIDE Festival Board of Directors It’s a tough job but every year the New West Pride board runs a growing and diverse festival on a small budget and with nothing but enthusiastic volunteer steam. However this year has been a difficult one. ‘New West Pride is a very successful festival, but relying solely on volunteer power and small business sponsorships can be a struggle. The support from the community keeps us striving to provide an amazing experience, but we are about as big as a non profit group with no staff can be. To continue growing and bringing different elements and events to the city the Society, looking forward may need to start looking more to corporate funding and sponsors. I’m excited to see the continued growth and support of Pride in New West’. says Mike Tiney, President of New West Pride for 2016.

The people-power behind this staple New West Festival include; Mike Tiney - President Keith Fryer - Vice-President Hayley Sinclair - Secretary Bryon Grove - Treasurer Jeremy Perry - Director of Sponsorship Pam Hayer - Director of Volunteers Brad Mistry - Director of Marketing Sajeeta Saroop - Director of Communications Caroline Doerksen - Director of Youth Involvement

New West Pride would also like to thank all the volunteers who participated on committees this year to shape the festival and helped out at events.

And the winners are...!

This year’s New West Pride Award winners include:

Person of The Year: Keith Oberding Keith is the organizer of Rainbow Karaoke, an inclusive social group for the LGBTQ+ community and their friends in the suburbs. Keith builds community every day with his open, warm and enthusiastic personality. He may have just moved to New Westminster but he is no stranger to supporting New West Pride events. His leadership is easily recognisable and New West is lucky that he now calls our community home.

“Once I retired, I promised myself I would give back to the community. I began volunteering at A Loving Spoonful about 7 or 8 years ago. This was rewarding for me, personally, and at the same time giving support to those who need it so desperately,” he says of how he began to volunteer. “Five years go, a very close lesbian friend died of mesothelioma. She adored karaoke! And, she thought it would be great to have LGBTQ+ “meet-ups” out in the suburbs like Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey. This gave rise to Rainbow Night Karaoke, which I initiated in her memory…some karaoke events may only have 3 or 4 attendees, others may have 2 dozen show up. People have met and made new friends, and a few relationships have sprung forth.”

Business of the Year: The Heritage Grill New West Pride would like to recognize The Heritage Grill and their staff for their continued support of New West Pride, the LGBTQ+ community and the artistic community of New Westminster. On any given week, you can find free, locally-led events (including the amazing Sunday Night Drag Show) happening at The Heritage Grill and they have truly gone above and beyond to make their space one of fun, acceptance and love.

AUG. 6 TO 13

President’s Award: Vance McFadyen As a founder of Royal City Pride, (now known as New West Pride) Vance holds a close place in the heart of the Society.

Vance and his partner Curt have been major supporters of the Society since it’s beginnings and they continue to promote acceptance and equality within our city. A true trailblazer, Vance has become an important voice on the many boards and community groups he has belonged to including Seniors Services Society, Century House Association and a number of civic committees. Working with the Seniors’ Gay Straight Alliance and Century House, Vance is organizing the second annual Seniors Hoedown as part of New West Pride Week.

“I am the founder of New West Pride and a proud supporter of New West Pride both in actions and financially. More importantly I am an active supporter of the New Westminster community in general,” he says of why he thinks he was chosen. “I do all these things for my love of New Westminster and not for the reward, but I must say I am very pleased and proud to be named for this year’s Pride President’s Award.”

New West actors take on Shakespeare play Tickets cost between $10 and $15.The show runs from Aug. 4 to Aug. 21, with evening shows starting at 8 p.m.Thursday to Saturday, and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.To reserve, call 604-521-0412 or visit alchemytheatre.ca/ tickets.The Bernie Legge Theatre is at Queen’s Park.

TerezaVerenca LIVELY CITY

editorial@burnabynow.com

Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew comes to life at the Bernie Legge Theatre tonight.

The play is being put on

by Alchemy Theatre and Vagabond Players as part of their summer theatre schedule.

Directed by Matthew Davenport, the storyline – featuring a gender-swapped cast – involves two brothers who are being married off.There’s Bernardo, the youngest, who’s hell-bent on marriage and can’t wait to fly the nest.

His older brother, Kristopher, balks at the thought of losing his independence and struggles to think of anything worse. But there’s a catch. Kristopher has to marry first in order for Bernardo, who has no shortage of offers, to be allowed to wed.

“This summer’s version of The Taming of the Shrew will challenge gender stereotypes while losing none of its original power to provoke and sometimes outrage. First comes love, then comes marriage? Not according to William Shakespeare. Let the battle begin,” reads a teaser.

Local actors include Jeremy Heynen (Tailor) and Michelle Cyr (Bernadetta). Costume designer Angie Koropatnisky and stage manager Julien Legere also hail from the Royal City.

TAKE YOUR KIDS TO GET MESSY WITH SAND The Arts Council of New Westminster and Royal City Centre have teamed up to put on a series of free workshops on the first Sunday of every month.

The first Arts ToGo session is on Sunday, Aug. 7 and will feature local artist Roger Lee, who will be teaching kids how to do sand art. It’s all happening at the mall between noon and 3 p.m. Make note that parent supervision is required.The next workshops are as follows: Sept. 4, Oct. 2 and Nov. 6 (same time).

Each workshop will have a different theme.Those will be announced at a later date. For more information, email info@artscouncilnew west.org or call 604-5253244.

DROP-IN YOGA Start off your Saturday morning with free yoga at River Market.

The gentle flow session incorporates a lot of meditation and is accessible to all levels. Bring your own mat to the class, which runs from 8 to 9 a.m.

The River Market is at 810 Quayside Dr.

GET CREATIVE OUTSIDE This one’s great for the kids. Artists in the Boro are holding another Community Art in the Park event next Tuesday.The theme is “Mask Mania,” so children are encouraged to get creative with glitter, paint and feathers. Participation is free, made possible through a Vancouver Foundation neighbourhood small grant.

The Aug. 9 event is on from 6 to 8 p.m., outside at the Ryall Park outdoor stage (located outside the Queensborough Community Centre). Projects can be taken home or be left behind, to be hung on the walls of the community centre.

NEW LOCAL MUSIC A shout out goes to New Westminster indie band KICK in the EYE, who recently released a new CD. KICK in the EYE is Canadian contains 20 tracks that “celebrate the people, places and ideas of Canada,” states a press release. Lyrics cover a gamut of people and topics – everything from David Suzuki and the Canucks to the Fraser River and the Sasquatch.The double album is split into two groups: one more distinctly rock and roll and one more country and blues.

The band is made up of husband-wife-duo Donnie Lochrie (guitar, keys, vocals) and Marian Lochrie (bass, vocals). If you’d like to have a listen to their music, head over to their website, kickintheeye.ca.

Congrats, guys!

emphasis on community. This year’s party is expected to be Pride’s biggest one yet, drawing an expected 40,000 and making use of three stages.

The free party runs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and includes a children’s area, booths and vendors, five outdoor pubs, a Drag Show stage. multiple food trucks with shaded eating areas.

New this year is an All! Choir! Stage starring LGBTQ+ and local choral groups including the Rainbow Concert Band, Vandeca, The Drag Show Choir, The Lions Gate Chorus and Quayside Voices.

At 6:15 p.m., the choir stage will lead the festival in a group sing of the song True Colors, a tribute to the memory of the victims of the June Orlando shootings at a

gay nightclub in Florida.

Hosted by New West Queer FM radio host and trans advocate Jazmine Khan, party-goers will take in performances on the Canawrap Main Stage. The line-up includes award-winning violinist and DJ Michael Fraser, Vancouver-based rapper-poet-singer-songwriter K!mmortal and New West drag queen extraordinaire Miz Adrien.

A headline performance by the Vancouver-based, sevenmember indie pop and electro group Top less Gay Love Tekno Party is guaranteed to get the crowd moving.

ASK A DENTIST How can I prolong the lifespan of my dental work?

The truth is that existing dental work actually increases the chances of future decay and breakdown, so prevention of problems is key. The edges DR. LOVELY of your fillings and crowns are still subject to bacteria accumulation. Brushing after eating and daily flossing are the best ways to protect the work in your mouth. Additionally, visiting your dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups can help since small issues that can arise, if caught early, are much easier to treat. Fillings and crowns can often be maintained for longer if the problems are caught early and addressed rather than waiting until the only option, at best, is full replacement. Also, if you are a clencher/grinder the lifespan of any dental work in your mouth is greatly decreased so wearing a night-guard, or otherwise addressing your grinding, will increase the lifespan of dental work.

Q A

Why do I feel a sharp pain in the arch of my foot each morning?

The pain in your foot is caused by micro-tears and inflammation of the connective tissue that extends from your heel bone to JEANNETTE LEBLANC the base of your toes. This is called Plantar Fasciitis. Your plantar fascia is designed to withstand a lot of force every day, however sometimes the forces are just too much. A sudden increase in activity or a change in footwear (e.g. flip-flops) can traction or tear the fascia. Physiotherapy treatment will correct faulty biomechanics of your foot/lower limb, decrease pain and swelling, lengthen shortened muscles, and re-train muscles to support your arch properly. If you have a job or play a sport that puts excessive force through your feet your Physiotherapist may refer you for orthotics (arch supports).

What does a regular amalgamation involve?

(Concluded)

A regular amalgamation requires an agreement. To adopt it, the voting and nonvoting shareholders of each amalgamating company may pass a unanimous consent resolution or else hold an STEPHEN GRAF extraordinary general meeting and pass a special resolution.

Do Implants prevent bone loss?

A

The titanium posts of dental implants replace the function of natural tooth roots, by giving physical support to your jaw BRIAN KO R.D , R.D.T bone and stimulating bone strength through chewing, keeing your jaw healthy over time. We have all seen the “pucker up” look around the mouth and chin caused by progressive bone loss due to missing teeth. Since implants replace the natural roots of missing teeth, they stop or significantly slow this process of bone loss and related changes in facial structure associated with premature aging.

Community OUR PAST

History’s actors on stage Archie and Dale

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Did you have a great B.C. Day? This special mid-summer day has always had an historical flavour to it with lots of opportunities to link to elements of our past and stories of those who came before in this province.

Over the years our participation and enjoyment of B.C. Day has included presentations, walking and cemetery tours, and other similar items. It is always interesting to think of those who were here before us in the Royal City, and with that in mind, here is a small group, randomly selected, who are part of our community story.

The history of the fishing industry in this area includes folks like James Syme and John Deas. Syme was an interesting man who, in addition to his involvement in the processing of salmon, was an architect and artist.

He and his wife would later move to Victoria where his various skills were also put

to good use.

Deas and his family, African Americans, were equally part of the Fraser River salmon industry with their cannery site lending its name to a major island downstream from New Westminster – Deas Island.

Stories of the Deas children rowing downriver to school at Port Ladner are part of the lore of the area.

Frances Herring, a member of the very active Herring family, is known to many through her writings of the early times in this part of B.C., blending fact and fiction into wonderful tales of life on the banks of the Fraser. Her stories are broad and filled with great descriptions, and through them, she adds wonderful colour to our history.

Jeremiah Rogers, Jerry to his friends, was a logger who provided timber for mills primarily in the “Vancouver harbour” area from his logging camp on English Bay.We are, of course, referring to a site called Jerry’s Cove, or as we know it to-

day: Jericho.

The steamboats of the Fraser needed river pilots to assist in the safe movement of these vital vessels. One of the early pilots, well versed in the ways of the river, was John or Jack Deighton, known more often due to his loud, boisterous, gift of the gab, as Gassy Jack. He eventually tired of the river trade so he headed off to Burrard Inlet where he built a saloon of great renown.

Visit the site today and say hello to the statue of Gassy Jack in, you guessed it, Gastown.

Here we have a mere handful of people for B.C. Day.There is also Flora Ross, who devoted longserving care to the asylum patients; Arthur McBride of the B.C. Penitentiary and father of Sir Richard McBride, who lived and grew up in Sapperton; Colonel J.T. Scott who may not have been a real colonel but was truly a leader in the town; and there are so very many more.Three cheers for B.C. Day.

Islanders pull plug on Bellies Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

So much promise, so many goals – the New Westminster junior Salmonbellies’ season appeared loaded with both.

Unfortunately, the Delta Islanders were loaded for bear.

The Islanders ended the Salmonbellies season – along with it, the goal of competing in the Minto Cup championship – in a 10-6 defeat Friday at Queen’s Park Arena in their B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League semifinal.

In the span of 6:27, Delta turned a onegoal game into a drubbing, scoring five straight goals to start the third, and taking the best-of-seven series 4-2.

“What happened was, like any sevengame series, it comes down a lot to who made the most of their breaks, and who broke down at the wrong time,” said New West coach Todd Stockdale. “Give (Delta) credit, on the defensive end and netminding they held us, forced us outside too often and limited our chances.”

New West, which led 3-1 early in the second period, was unable to rattle Islander netminder Kevin Orleman’s confidence, as the Ontario native turned aside 40 shots.

The Bellies got two-goal games from regular season scoring champion Connor Robinson and Adam Dickson, and singles by Jeremy Bosher and Mitchell Stokes.

With their backs to the wall in Game 5, New West responded from an earlier thrashing by knocking off Delta 15-13 in Ladner. In that contest, the visitors exploded for five goals in the third to stave off elimination, getting a nine-point performance from Bosher, and four goals from Robinson.

For Stockdale, the disappointment in not advancing was rough, but he sees great things for next year, with the team only losing three players to graduation.

“I really like the character of this team. It’s a real good group of guys to build around, so I’m excited (about next year).”

Crunch time: Delta’s Shawn Richardson, at front right, plows over New Westminster’s Josh Bosher while MItchell Macaulay, left, pushes back during last week’s 1513 win for the Salmonbellies. Unfortunately, the Islanders wrapped up the best-of-seven junior A semifinal on the weekend to advance to the league final and with it a berth to the Minto Cup. PHOTO GORD GOBLE

Loss likely ends Bellies first-place bid

One team played with more urgency than the other.

The Maple Ridge Burrards buckled down and built up an early lead then held on, toppling the New Westminster Salmonbellies 13-9 in Western Lacrosse Association action on Sunday.

In what was the Bellies’ final regular season game and a contest which could have kept their slim hopes of finishing in first place alive, the result can only be charted as disappointing.

The Burrards, who themselves are battling Burnaby for third and fourth spot, counted five straight goals beginning midway through the first period to take control.

While New West would counter and pull back within a pair, Maple Ridge locked it down with three goals in a 52-second span midway through the third.

Former junior Bellie netminder Frank Scigliano proved to be the biggest obstacle for

New West, as the Burrards goalie blocked 49 shots.

Mitch Jones and Logan Schuss tallied two goals and four assists each in the loss, while Tyler Kirkby counted a goal and three helpers.

Also scoring were Ben Davies, Brett Dobray, Anthony Malcom and Dane Sorensen.

With their regular season record locked in at 12-4-2, the Bellies wait to see what Victoria does in its last two games – a

win either Friday against Nanaimo or Saturday in Coquitlam would leapfrog the Shamrocks into first place.

All four playoff spots remained undetermined as of Wednesday.

The Bellies will play either Burnaby or Maple Ridge, with the best-of-seven series slated to start Aug. 9 at Queen’s Park.

The semifinal continues with games on Aug. 12, 13, 15, and if necessary, 17, 20 and 22.

Group effort powers Hyack boys to B.C. swim title Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Hyack Swim Club rode a strong wave of performances at the B.C. Age Group championships to finish second overall last month in Victoria.

When it comes to the peak meets, the club has a track record of rising to the occasion, and this one was no different.The New Westminster-based club, which features swimmers from New West, Burnaby Surrey and the TriCities, posted the top aggregate score for male swimmers, as it did at the winter short course B.C.s.

Leading the way were Sergey Chernomorchenko andYutong Wu, who share a healthy rivalry in the boys 11-under division.Wu won eight events, including the

200-metre butterfly, 400m individual medley and 800m freestyle, each with Chernomorchenko in second place. For Chernomorchenko, it was part of an eight-medal week.The Burnaby swimmer also topped the 200-metre breaststroke.

“The male group is especially strong, they form a good training dynamic and challenge each other daily in workout, so we expect that we will be seeing them race well when we get to the meets,” said Hyacks coach Mark Bottrill.

BrodieYoung picked up four gold medals in his 14-15 year old division, while Michael Cai, in 50m breast, and Justin Kiedrzyn, in his 50-metre butterfly event, accounted for more gold.

On the girls side, 14-year-old Octavia Lau of Burnaby broke

a 40-year-old club mark, set by Olympic medallist Shannon Smith. Lau’s time of 58.52 seconds in the 100m free was good for a silver.

“Those old records stand for a reason,” remarked Bottrill.

“Some great swimmers have come through the club over the past 43 years and having Octavia break that record is good to see. She didn’t even realize it at the time.

She can go faster yet, too.”

Lau also won the provincial 50m free race and picked up a pair of silver finishes.

She teamed with Zoe Froh, Kyra Tamagi and Victoria Tocheva for two freestyle relay wins, as the Hyack quartet took the 200- and 400m races, nearly establishing a new B.C. mark in the former.

Ten-year-old Madisen Jacques,

meanwhile set five new club records and placed third in both the 50m fly and free events.

Majors battle at BCs NewWestminster rallies for top-4 finish

The score didn’t tell the whole story.

The New Westminster Majors All Stars season came to a halt last week in a 20-8 defeat at the hands of the eventual Little League B.C. provincial champion Whalley Chiefs.

While the scoreboard said domination, there was also a lot of fierce battle and pushback from the underdog New West lineup, which opened the scoring in the semifinal game.

And when they trailed 10-1 half an inning later, there was no quit.

The All Stars battled back with four runs in the second and three in the third to make it 11-8. Big hits in the rally included Quinn Walters’ three-run homer and Brendan Tong’s three RBI. But Whalley, which would go on to take the B.C. title with a 3-1 win over Trail and surrendered just seven runs total in its other games, continued to answer any New West run and eventually pulled away.

To get to the semifinal, New West erased a 1-3 round-robin start with back-to-back wins, top-

ping North Vancouver District 6-5 and Beacon Hill 12-2.The win over North Van was a comeback effort, where Jalen Sami delivered the key blow, a walk-off double in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Their other win was 11-3 over Kerrisdale.

It was a long run and the seven games in eight days took its toll on the 11-12 year old crew, which was the youngest team in the tournament – anchored by seven 11 year olds.

New West was making its second straight provincial tournament, after successfully defending its District 6 title.

To win the district, New West trumped South Vancouver 14-1 in five innings, led by a two-run HR from Sami in the first inning that set the tone.Taiki Suzuki pitched a complete-game four hitter. In the win, Cole Crozier and Walters each cleared the base paths with three-run doubles.

New West’s lineup includes Jordan Beauregard, Matthew Birovchak, Cole Crozier, Eugene Fei, Ben Hewitt, Brian Lai, Zachary Mankoo, Brendan Morrison, Jalen Sami,Taiki Suzuki, Brendan Tong, Quinn Walters and Ty Woodard.
