Sanjeev Kainth died after sustaining a workplace injury in the kitchen at River’s Reach Pub and is survived by his wife Harpreet and two young children, Meher and Anaisha.

Community members have contributed to an online fundraiser to help the family, and River’s Reach is planning a fundraiser in cooperation with New Westminster firefighters.

Community members are rallying behind the family of a father of two who recently lost his life in a tragic workplace accident at River’s Reach Pub. Surrey resident Sanjeev Kainth died in hospital following an accident in the pub’s kitchen on March 22.WorkSafeBC didn’t identify the victim but confirmed a worker fell onto a running meat slicer at about 3:30 p.m.

“The worker’s arm was nearly severed,”Trish Knight Chernecki, senior manager of media and government relations at WorkSafeBC, said in an email to the Record. “Initial aid was administered on-site and the worker was extracted to hospital, but succumbed to his injuries.”

Rati Malhotra Bassi set up a GoFundMe account to raise funds for Kainth’s wife, Harpreet, who now has to raise her three-year-old daughter Meher and infant daughter Anaisha without her husband.

In a week’s time, 625 people had contributed

Rent bank will help tenants in crisis MLA spearheaded the plan that will offer low-interest loans to renters facing eviction or utility cut-off Theresa McManus

Renters may soon have a place to go in times of crisis so they don’t end up on the streets.

New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy and her constit-

uency office staff spearheaded the rent bank initiative after seeing a steady stream of people at the office who were at risk of immediate homelessness if a temporary financial solution was not found.Those folks included a couple who had their

“There is a variety of different scenarios,” Darcy

Darcy believes the rent bank is one piece of a puzzle to address the “housing crisis” in British Columbia. Unlike payday lenders, which charge exorbitant

fees and can lead people into a downward spiral of debt they often can’t escape, Darcy said rent banks offer loans with low-interest rates and have a high rate of repayment.

Up Front A CLOSER LOOK

A place to curl up with a good book NewWest library gets a $4.7-million makeover designed with comfort and service in mind

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

After 59 years of touch-ups, the New Westminster Public Library is finally getting a full makeover.

Once complete, the $4.7-million renovation project will transform the facility, according to Julie Spurrell, chief librarian.

Upstairs, the history room will be expanded and transformed into a new digital literacy centre where library staff and community groups can run programs.

Spurrell’s vision is to see the space become a technology hub for the city, where people of all ages and skill levels can take part in classes on everything from creating Julie Spurrell chief librarian an email account to more complicated topics like using PhoNEW DIGS A rendering of the future reading lounge that will be located just beyond the service desks on the main floor of the New Westminster Public Library.

School wants help to replace destroyed trees Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Parents at Lord Kelvin Elementary School hope someone in the community will step up and replace three trees cut down by vandals last summer.

The trees were part of a project to augment the school’s greenspace, spruced up by the parent advisory council (PAC) in 2015.With help from students, the PAC built planter boxes, planted flora and brought in rocks and logs to make the area more appealing to kids and the community at large.

“It was a big school project, and it was all about community,” PAC president Natalie Lawy told the Record.

Part of the project included the removal of an old tree that had been on the

site for years.The PAC had the district remove it because it was dying – a decision that was particularly difficult for some teachers.

“We swore to the teachers that we would replace the tree with more trees and that it would be more green when we were done, not less green, and so, to have the trees chopped down – not that it’s our fault – but it’s like we broke our promise in a way,” she said.

The vandals destroyed all three new trees, including a cherry tree, a sumac tree and a Japanese snowbell.

Most important was the cherry tree, which was donated by a parent and planted in memory of Kelvin teacher Colin Mackay, who died in a motorcycle crash in July 2015.

“That was particularly disheartening,” Lawy said.

The two other trees were

purchased using funds the PAC received from a neighbourhood small grant.

Costs to maintain the garden are covered by the PAC, and with spring finally here, the group will be heading to the store soon to buy new plants for the upcoming season.

“This year is the year to assess what did well in the garden and what didn’t, and we’re going to go in and fill in the holes,” she said.

Lawy said the PAC is accepting donations from anyone, and folks can donate money or a tree, she added.

The goal is to replace the three damaged trees with new ones.

New trees must be similar to the ones destroyed, as they’d been approved by the school district.

To donate, contact Lawy at natalie.lawy@gmail.com.

Opinion OUR VIEW

A simple idea whose time has come New Westminster is once again leading the way in the fight against homelessness.

The latest weapon in the city’s arsenal isn’t a particularly dramatic one. But it’s the kind of simple, quietly effective plan that should be immediately adopted by communities right across the country.

We’re speaking, of course, about the new rent bank, which will be operated by the Lower Mainland Purpose Society forYouth and

Families.

A project spearheaded by MLA Judy Darcy and her constituency office, the rent bank is pretty much just what it sounds like:Tenants who find themselves in crisis – facing immediate eviction or the cut-off of their utilities due to unpaid bills – can apply to the bank for a low-interest loan to tide them over.

It just makes sense.

An enormous number of people are just one inci-

dent away from an unpaid month’s rent. A job loss, an injury or an unexpected illness can quickly derail an otherwise stable, secure life.

Having a rent bank in place to offer emergency assistance helps to prevent people from losing homes when those incidents happen.

The program also helps to protect those who are already living in poverty, or on the edge of poverty, by giving them an alterna-

tive to the payday lenders who charge exorbitant interest rates and lead people into a downward spiral from which it can be difficult to escape.

Most critically, this rent bank helps to ensure people living in rental housing can stay there.

It’s something that’s particularly important in a community such as New Westminster, where about 44 per cent of people are renters – and where rent-

al vacancy rates have remained below four per cent since 2000.

Everyone knows it’s a tough housing market out there.The fact that city leaders, businesses and organizations all saw a need and joined forces to do something about it is heartening.

We extend our appreciation and our kudos to everyone involved in the project: Darcy and her office; the credit unions of New West-

minster, which all contributed to an endowment to get the rent bank started; the New Westminster Homelessness Coalition Society, which is contributing money; and the City of New Westminster, which is covering administrative costs.

It’s cooperative efforts like these that give us hope for the future of our city, our province and our country.

Let’s hope this idea catches on far and wide.

MY VIEW LORNE HILL

Heritage policy has problems

We support heritage conservation.

Signs with this slogan have appeared in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood recently, and while this sentiment is easy to support at a glance, the actual policy under development has big implications for homeowners. Heritage activists have the city on the verge of limiting even minor modifications to our homes, ultimately driving property values down.

Our family has lived in Queen’s Park since 2001.

We love the neighbourhood and value its heritage character. However, we cannot

The future of our families is at stake

support the policy that is currently being considered by city council.

Many of our neighbours have gorgeous heritage homes whose heritage nature increases their value.

That’s not the case with our home, or many others in the area.

Our home was built in 1891 and has undergone many alternations to both its interior and exterior.

While some heritage features remain, we believe the heritage value of our home is low. On the market our home will bring the most value as a “tear down.”

The new policy would

classify any home built before 1930 in the advanced protection category – based on age alone. No consideration of heritage value would be made and of the 702 homes in Queens Park, 60 per cent (418) of them would be automatically placed in this category.

Advanced protection means that strict restrictions would govern what changes could be made to the home.

Once a home is placed in advanced protection, homeowners face an uphill battle to reverse the decision with no compensation offered to homeowners who could see the value of their homes plummet hundreds of thousands of dollars.

An application to have the protection level reduced may cost the homeowner as much as $2,000. Any such requests can be denied by a heritage advisory committee, largely filled with heritage activists, on a number of subjective criteria including “cultural, spiritual, social, scientific or historical value.”

We’re proud to call Queen’s Park home and it’s easy to get sentimental about the heritage of the area, but this sentiment may outweigh the practical considerations related to specific homes and their value.

The future of our families is at stake.

Let’s make sure we make the right choice about this policy. Share your story with us at reasonable.heritage@ gmail.com.

Surrey became the fourth city in SkyTrain’s lineup, with three new stations named Gateway, Surrey Central and King George.

New Westminster road traffic reduced as a result of the transit extension, undertaken by the region’s former transit authority B.C.Transit.

Opinion INBOX

If you’re on the attack, check your facts first Dear Editor: I read the letter written by Paul R. Thompson in the March 30, 2017 edition of the Record. “Where do candidates’ real loyalties lie”? As a rather astute political observer, I couldn’t help but laugh at the over-simplicity of Mr. Thompson’s “observations.”

For one, Lorraine Brett running for the B.C. Liberals isn’t a deviation from her Conservative party membership and former candidacy for the Progressive Conservatives outside of New West.

Any political watcher of provincial politics knows that the B.C. Liberals are practically Liberal in name only. They have no formal association with their federal counterparts. And many of the sitting B.C. Liberal MLAs and party members are far more conservative and to the right of the political spectrum than anything remotely “Liberal” centrist. I need not delve into the ways that the Campbell-Clark agenda in many ways mirrored that of the Stephen Harper era of reign federally.

Going on to his assertions about Jonina Campbell: If you’re going to try and make a point about someone having an affiliation of a political party being a school board trustee, fact checking would be a good thing to engage in.

Fact is there is no such thing in New West as an “NDP school trustee,” as Mr. Thompson refers to Ms. Campbell as belonging to.

As a member of the provincial and federal NDP in New West, I can most assure everyone that there is no official NDP civic party that ran in the last civic election. Mr. Thompson seems to want to link the “DLC” (for the record, that means the New West and District Labour Council, and its endorsement) to the NDP when he states: “Jonina Campbell, staunch defender and member of the NDP/DLC.” That’s interesting to me, because Patrick Johnstone, who is not a member of the NDP, received a district labour council endorsement, resources and money in the last New West civic election. So to try and pass off this “NDP/DLC” stuff as fact is ludicrous, to say the least.

So already, Mr. Thompson’s rhetoric has already fallen short of reality and the truth. And that’s before going on to his allegations about the current MLA in New West, Judy Darcy. A Wikipedia search shows just how out of touch with reality Mr. Thompson’s assertions are about Judy and her current political activities. The following was found on Wikipedia. Yes, she once was a member of the Workers Communist Party of Canada and even ran unsuccessfully for them in 1981 in Ontario. In 1985, she left the Communists and joined the NDP, stating, “I’m older, I don’t think we’re going to remake the world, but we’ve got to change what we can.”

When Mr. Thompson states that Darcy “left her comrades in the Ontario Communist Party only to parachute into New West as an avowed NDP/DLC member,” he portrays this as her just leaving the Communist Party in 2012, moving to B.C. and running in New West. Completely and utterly wrong!

Again, if you’re going to attack people you should stick to the facts rather than going around making up entities that don’t exist like the “NDP/DLC” one, or skipping 27 years of trade union activism, leadership in the union movement and in the communities in which a person resides. A simple check of Wikipedia of Judy Darcy’s name will fill in the 28 years Mr. Thompson plainly ignores or omits to suit his purpose, which is to smear everyone running in

New West.

Funny enough, I don’t see his name on a ballot. If he’s so dissatisfied with the candidates running, maybe he should step out from behind his keyboard and his hyperbolic, made-up fanciful observations and take his shot. Why stay at home and sacrifice the right people fought in wars to give to you? As Judy Darcy did say in 1985: “We’re not going to remake the world, but we’ve got to change what we can.”

It’ll be interesting to see if Mr. Thompson reaches for the brass ring in front of him and decides to “change” what he can, or at least try to.

Don’t want tradition?

Don’t live in this city Dear Editor: Once again, I am shocked to see the headline “May suite dress change triggers backlash.” People with no respect for tradition are (it seems without public consultation) making unwanted changes to hundred-year-old traditions. I ask: Why live in New Westminster if you don’t want to live in a city full of old world charm, from our heritage homes to our hundredyear-old traditions. If you don’t like them, then go live somewhere else.

Over the last few years we have lost so much: the Easter old-time car parade, the cancellation of the Royal Lancers dance, so many heritage homes, Royal City Show and Shine, plus so much more.

When will it stop? Sure you want your food truck festival and your modern things, but why do you feel the need to get rid of things you clearly have no understanding of? If you don’t like them, don’t participate in them. Leave them alone.

Yes, passions run high! Why on earth would you be surprised? This is how it has always been done. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.

People come from miles around to see our city, our heritage homes, our traditions. You’re as bad as the people who feel we should tear down our heritage homes to build apartments because they should have the right to live here!

I ask, who put these people in charge? And why?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOSE UP TO 20 POUNDS IN 20 DAYS?

We’re paying the price for neglected roads Dear Editor: I am glad you did a front-page story recently on the state of the roads in New Westminster. They truly are in a sad state. This past winter exacerbated their condition.

The city took some responsibility for the roads’ condition, but in my opinion, it is the city’s unequivocal neglect that is the cause. If roads are paved in a timely manner, they would not experience cracking, which allows for winter conditions to decimate the roads.

The city has spent greatly on sidewalks, removing lanes, speed bumps, etc. and new street signs. They have, however, done the absolute minimum on paving.

Most of the streets in New West have not been paved in half a century. The city now wonders why they are in the predicament they’re in. Just my two cents.

City WorkSafeBC will investigate fatal accident at pub

Continued from page 1 more than $37,000 to the fundraiser.

Kainth had worked at the pub for a couple of years.

According to the GoFundMe page, March 22 started as a usual day, with Harpreet taking care of the kids and Sanjeev getting ready to go to work. “He left at his usual time. Little did the family know they were seeing their loving father, a caring husband and their only provider for the very last time,” she wrote.

“Sanjeev called Harpreet up

around 2:30 p.m., joyously narrating how one of his customers had tipped him with $80 CAD and what a great day at work he was having.”

An hour later, Harpreet received a call from Royal Columbian Hospital, where her husband had been taken for treatment.

“Sanjeev’s arm got chopped off after being stuck in a saw machine at work that he went to turn off. He suffered immense blood loss and suffered a cardiac arrest and died lat-

er in the hospital after his heart failed to pump any more blood to his brain,” said the GoFundMe page.

“The family donated his eyes as it was the only viable organ left. Her whole world just ended in a matter of minutes.”

Donations will be used to help with Kainth’s funeral expenses and to support the family.You can view the fundraiser at www. gofundme.com and search for Support Harpreet.

“Your support would mean the world to Har-

preet, Meher and Anaisha.

Meher is still waiting for her father to return and is quite confused with the ongoing events. She is continually asking for him and picks up the phone to talk to him,” said the fundraising page. “None of us can replace who Sanjeev was for the family.This is an unbearable loss but your donations would definitely help incredibly to bring the family back on track.”

Liz Murphy, acting manager of River’s Reach Pub, said the pub is planning a

fundraiser in Kainth’s honour, but details have yet to be finalized.

“We are going to be pairing up with the New West fire department and doing a joint fundraiser with them.

They were the first responders.That’s in the works,” she said. “Other than that, it’s a painful subject.”

New Westminster Police initially attended the scene, but turned over investigation jurisdiction to WorkSafeBC investigators, after determining it wasn’t a criminal matter.

Chernecki said WorkSafeBC will do a “very thorough” investigation to determine what happened, why it happened and how such a tragic incident can be prevented from happening again in the future.

“I can’t give you a specific timeline for the investigation,” she said in an email to the Record. “They can take anywhere from three months to a year or more depending on the complexity and witness availability.”

Rent bank one more tool in the fight against homelessness

Continued from page 1 “The province of Ontario actually supports rent banks and the creation of rent banks throughout the province. I certainly think that this is something the provincial government could take initiative on,” she said.

“There is a complex array of causes for homelessness, there is a complex array of solutions to homelessness, but preventing homelessness by being proactive is an important part of that. I certainly will be advocating that the provincial government play a proactive role in supporting rent banks in communities.”

Elsewhere in B.C., rent banks are currently offered in Vancouver, Surrey and Kamloops.They provide

loans to renters who are facing eviction or the termination of their utilities and require them to pay back the loan over a period of time.

Since beginning work on the initiative two years ago, Darcy’s office has secured an endowment of $35,000, which includes contributions from every credit union in the city.The City of New Westminster will provide $60,000 over three years to cover administration costs for the program and the New Westminster Homelessness Coalition Society will contribute $4,000 annually over a three-year period.

“Sometimes we get in the habit of focusing too much on the issue of homelessness after it has happened, and

Online Marketing Services for Small Businesses.

not focus enough attention on programs that actually work to prevent homelessness,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “Those types of programs are equally important if we are going to try and address the issue of homelessness.”

Cote welcomes the formation of a rent bank in New Westminster, where about half the population lives in rental accommoda-

tions. Although New West has about four per cent of Metro Vancouver’s population, he said the city has the third highest number of purpose-built rental units.

“Is it the full solution to the issue of homelessness or our housing crisis? It’s not. It’s got to be seen as one of the many programs that need to be in place to help us address the issue of housing and housing afford-

ability in our region,” Cote said. “I think it’s an important tool to address a certain segment of the population.”

The city issued a request for proposals and selected the Lower Mainland Purpose Society forYouth and Families to operate the rent bank.

Dawn Embree, the society’s executive director, said the program should be up

and running within a couple of weeks.

“The whole aim is to avoid eviction,” she said. “I think we can all appreciate that facing eviction is a very stressful circumstance.

It’s even more so now that the rental (vacancy) rates are so low. If there’s any way to avoid that happening, I think we need to do that.”

City

City agrees to trim trees along waterfront Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Some trees along the waterfront will be getting a trim on a more regular basis.

A group of residents from the Dockside building appeared before council last October to ask the city to remove five trees on the esplanade boulevard in front of their building, saying the trees grew far taller and wider than the city had envisioned and were blocking views of the Fraser River and reducing the amount of sunlight getting into some suites.Three of the trees were particularly problematic.

In response to the concerns, staff recommended the city undertake a thorough pruning of three of the boulevard trees at 12 K de K Court and increase the tree-pruning cycle to once every three years. Council also approved a recommendation to direct staff to research existing regional policies related to city tree planting and city tree main-

tenance in relation to the preservation of viewscapes.

“The community, from my discussions with their leadership, would still desire taking the trees down and transplanting them.

That would be their desire, but they were supportive of an alternative to that as long as there was an annual review for the first three years, and also any pruning that is

I am concerned about the health of the tree done to those trees is done with consultation,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who has met with Dockside residents about the issue.

In addition to the staff recommendation, Puchmayr proposed an amendment containing specific recommendations related to the pruning and trimming of the trees, with the goal of protecting and reopen-

ing view corridors to the river and keeping those views open in the future.

Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said he’s generally comfortable with the amendment but would like the city’s arborist to have a chance to address the specifics of the pruning plan put forward by Puchmayr.

“As council can appreciate, trees are living bodies so they can only tolerate so much maintenance in a given year,” he said.

According to Gibson, staff expects to do a “very thorough pruning” of the trees within the next couple of weeks. He said that would be followed by a routine and ongoing maintenance program that would exceed tree care normally offered in other areas of the city.

Council approved the amendment put forward by Puchmayr but directed staff to report back on the implementation of the specific recommendations for pruning of the boulevard trees in front of Dockside.

Too many trees? Pat and Keith Cutshall were among the Dockside residents who appealed to city council in October to remove trees on the waterfront to help preserve views of the river. PHOTO RECORD FILES

“I want to make sure it’s something that staff feel that they can do,” said Coun.

Mary Trentadue. “The consideration I am interested in is how the amendment may impact the health of the trees. I get the sense that what we are looking

for is to preserve view corridors, which I understand, but I also want to make sure that tree health is not overlooked.”

Coun. LorrieWilliams agreed.

“I am suspect when it comes to view.We build

apartments in front of other apartment buildings and we tell people that they don’t own the view,” she said. “I am concerned about the health of the tree as well. If it can be done and the trees will survive and survive well, fine.”

City CITY HALL

Affordable housing project plans move ahead Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An affordable housing project in downtown New Westminster has cleared a hurdle at city hall.

As part of the work needed to prepare the site at 43 Hastings St. for an afford-

able housing project, the city considered an application to rezone the adjacent unzoned road allowance so it could be consolidated with the existing development lot.

“This project will include one two-storey building with three units on the

ground floor and three units on the second floor,” said planning analyst Julia Dugaro. “The proposal includes affordable rental units.”

The Community Living Society, in partnership with a non-profit development manager, will develop the site, which will include

three units for people with developmental disabilities and three for low-income families.

A staff report stated that the unused road right of way hasn’t been developed as a road and is deemed to be surplus to the city’s transportation needs. It’s lo-

cated north of the entrance to the Pattullo Bridge.

An area resident who attended the March 28 public hearing asked whether the road would be widened as part of the project.

“This street is a very lowvolume local street,” said Jim Lowrie, the city’s direc-

tor of engineering. “We do not anticipate widening the street. However, as a condition of development, there will be a sidewalk installed on the east side of that street.”

News POLICE IN BRIEF

Police crest gets new look For the second time in 144 years, New Westminster’s police service is changing its crest.

The local police department recently announced it was updating its crest from the current design, bearing the words safety, service and friendship, to a new version that reads: safety, service and integrity.

The new crest was chosen following consultation with members of the New Westminster Police Department and the police board, according to a press release.

“For us, integrity is about ensuring that the people who keep this city safe uphold our values, strive to do the right thing in all situations, and have the confidence of the public,” Chief Const. Dave Jones said in the release. “Our members are proud to work for a de-

partment with a strong history of accountability and transparency. Adding the word integrity to our crest

Integrity is about ensuring that the people who help keep this city safe uphold our values

plays a part in communicating this core value into every facet of our operations.”

The new crests will gradually be phased in over the next year.The previous crest was released in 1992, replacing the original one made in 1873.

Background checks go online There’s a new way to get a background check for volunteer or employment purposes in the Royal City.

Recently, the New Westminster Police Department unveiled its new online system for police information checks.

The system can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week without having to drop by the police station – everything is handled online, according to a press release.

To use the online system, you must be a New Westminster resident, have an email account, pass the electronic identity verification test and be able to scan or upload required documents.

After following the step-by-

step process, the requested information is mailed directly to the applicant.

“The success of our Crime Mapping, our MobilePD alerts, and Crime Stoppers reporting – among others – is a testament not only to the growing role technology plays in policing, but to the public’s desire to use it,” acting Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release. “We anticipate that this newest online offering will be no different, and we are excited to make it available to the people of New Westminster.”

QUESTIONS FOR MEGHAN CURRIE Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A New West resident is taking fashion on the road throughout the Lower Mainland.

Meghan Currie, a former dental hygienist, launched the Vancouver Fashion Truck at the beginning of March, transforming a former newspaper delivery truck into a mobile fashion boutique with a “shabby beach chic” vibe. Greta, as the truck has been named, will be making the rounds

at festivals, pop-up events and home parties in the Lower Mainland. The Record had a chance to chat with Currie about her fashionable business endeavour, which includes online sales at www. vancouverfashiontruck.com.

1

HOW DID THIS IDEA COME ABOUT? I managed a clothing store for five years. I always knew that I wanted to do my own thing. I had that kind of

entrepreneurial drive. I felt like I ran the store without owning it. It was actually at Sapperton Days that I went into Little Bean and Co., they carry baby and toddler clothes in a little trailer. I walked in there and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I was like, “hmmmm, this would be so much fun.” I like the buzz. I thought, wouldn’t it be cool to drive around and go to events, experience the buzz of the event, being mobile, kind of doing retail differently because retail is getting pretty challenging these days to be a success.

2

WHAT KIND OF CLOTHING DO YOU CARRY? All my clothing is from L.A. I went in January on a

3

WHAT’S IT LIKE DRIVING AROUND IN THAT BIG 24-FOOT LONG TRUCK? The first time I sat behind the wheel, it was extremely intimidating and I didn’t know if I could do it. But this is all about facing my fears and being brave, so each time I get behind the wheel it feels more comfortable.

Now I feel like a fashionable truck driver.

buying trip and bought all my clothing from suppliers in L.A. The reason I am doing that is because I have noticed a lot of the local boutiques in the Lower Mainland seem to end up carrying the same stuff because they are all buying from the same suppliers, so I wanted to bring in some new stuff.

That’s why I have designs you won’t see anywhere else, at pretty good price points, great quality.

It’s unfortunate, but when you open yourself up to buying in the U.S. you have way more options. I’m focusing on made-in-U.S.A. stuff as well

4

OTHER THAN FESTIVALS AND POP-UP EVENTS, WHERE ELSE CAN PEOPLE FIND THE VANCOUVER FASHION TRUCK? I also focus on private shopping parties. I actually drive to someone’s house.

They have some girlfriends

over and then they can shop the truck. It’s kind of like a Tupperware party but it’s in my truck and it’s for clothing. It’s a really fun thing to do with girlfriends.

5

WHAT STYLE OF CLOTHING DO YOU CARRY? I would say it’s trendy, comfortable and stylish. My typical client is 20 to 45. It’s kind of trendy fashions that will last many seasons. I get new stock in every week.

Because I am in a truck, my storefront is small and I have a really quick turn over so I am constantly getting in new stuff, which is pretty exciting.

Community New West resident reaches out to Sudan Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Chagai Lual wants to do what he can to stop the suffering of people fleeing fighting in South Sudan.

The New Westminster resident fled South Sudan’s bloody civil war, coming to Canada as a refugee in 2003. Lual told his story in a memoir, How Childhood Hardship Prepared Me for Life.

“People are dying of hunger,” he said. “We want people to know about it.”

In 2010, Lual founded the Padang Relief Society, which provides emergency work in South Sudan, where people have been displaced from their homes and are in need of food, shelter and relief supplies.

He travels to South Sudan twice a year to do what he can to support people who have been displaced from their homes by the conflict.

“I will be going in July with a mission team,” he said. “I am trying to raise money.When we go there we will buy food for the people who have been displaced by the conflict.”

In late 2016, Lual spent six weeks in South Sudan with a mission team that provided assistance to more than 5,000 people in a displaced camp who had no access to health care.

“The situation in South Sudan is heart breaking, violence is still the daily reality, but I am convinced that we can do something towards creating peace,” he wrote in a recap to his last mission. “I have witnessed hope and a strong desire for peace and reconciliation in South Sudan. My hope is that by continuing to promote peace and reconciliation initiatives in South Sudan, we can help train communities to build peace and facilitate reconciliation.”

Lual is part of a mission returning to South Sudan this summer to supply food and shelter to people who have been displaced.The non-profit is aiming to raise $50,000 by July.

“The fighting is still going on,” he told the Record. “Now, many people have been displaced and are living in the UN protection base and other dis-

placed camps. Sometimes they provide food, but not enough.”

According to Medecins Sans Frontières, an international, independent medical humanitarian organization, there is an “urgent” need for humanitarian assistance as nearly 30,000 people have fled fighting since late January and are in dire need of water, food, shelter and medical attention.

A $25 donation would provide a family with two tarpaulins for shelter, while $50 provides five families with jerry cans to carry drinking water, $100 feeds an average family for a month, $200 provides mosquito nets for 20 families and $500 helps five families buy seeds and tools for farming.

Anyone wishing to make a donation to the New West-based society can go to www.plcr.org or call 604551-9489.

This Sunday, April 9 at 3:30 p.m., you can stop in for Sondheim and Prince.

along coffee or tea and join in the fun.

HONG KONG EXILE Remy Siu has been fascinated by the interplay of sound and dance for years.

Now, his work is front and centre at a new show playing at the Firehall Arts Centre in April.

Siu, who grew up in New Westminster, is responsible for sound composition and media design for Room 2048, a production created

by the interdisciplinary arts company Hong Kong Exile.

The company – made up of Siu, Milton Lim and Natalie Tin Yin Gan – also has ties to New Westminster, with a residency at River Market in 2012 and support from the Anvil Centre for this latest work.

Room 2048 is a multimedia dance theatre piece that explores the sociopolitical realities surrounding Hong Kong, which was handed over from the British back to Mainland China on July 1, 1997. At the time, the declaration stipulated a 50year period of “one country, two systems,” during which time Hong Kong could retain its language and identity.The year after this period is 2048.

The work is performed

by Lim, Michelle Lui and Alex Tam. It’s onstage April 11 to 15,Tuesday to Saturday at the Firehall Arts Centre, 280 East Cordova St.,Vancouver. See www.firehall artscentre.ca or call 604689-0926.

City mourns loss of Canadian comedy legend tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster man known for making folks across Canada laugh has passed away at the age of 71.

Bob Robertson, part of the Double Exposure comedy duo with wife Linda Cullen, passed away on March 19 in Nanaimo.

“Bob was somebody who, even though they were only here for a short time in New West, contributed wherever they could,” said Coun. Bill Harper. “It didn’t matter what kind of a fundraiser or event was being put on, they would show up and do their act, which they’d normally get paid for, for free.”

Since moving to New West a few years ago, Robertson and Cullen took part in various events, including LitFest New West and the annual Homelessness Action Week dinners.

“They were only in the community for a short pe-

SCENTS IN THE CITY Smellwalking? That’s just one of the topics being covered at the second annual Livable Cities symposium in New West.

Sensing the City, which is taking place on Thursday, April 13 from 9 a.m. to 9 pm. at Anvil Centre, is presented by Simon Fraser University and hosted by the City of New Westminster.The one-day symposium features panels and talks, sensory workshops and sound art presentations.

“Communities in flux across the Lower Mainland present unique opportuni-

ties to engage with city planning strategies, urban densification and the impact of soundscapes, smellscapes and mobilities on local urban environmental,” said a notice about the event.

The day’s workshops include topics like: listening at the intersection of contested space on the Fraser River; putting our noses to the ground – principles and practices of smellwalking (exploring city smells); and barriers and facilitators to mobility and participation among mobility device users. For details and tickets, check out the events listing at www.anvilcentre.com.

Tickets are $10 general admission, $5 for seniors aged 55 and up; and free for students with a valid student ID.Tickets includes access to all symposium events, including panels, presentations, workshops and an evening concert curated by Canadian composer and soundscape researcher Barry Truax.

REMEMBERING VIMY

RIDGE You may not be able to make it to France to take part in ceremonies commemorating the Battle of Vimy Ridge, but you’re invited to join in on a local celebration.

The Royal Westminster Regiment Association is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge with a parade on Sunday, April 9 at Queen’s Park. Community members are invited to attend this free public event, which commemorates one of the most significant battles in Canadian military history through a ceremonial battalion review.

“The event will commence with the Royal Westminster Regiment marching onto the parade ground followed by an inspection by the reviewing officer, the Honourable Judith Guichon, the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia,” said a press release about the event. “This will be followed by a march past and speeches to commem-

Along with Cullen, Robertson created the CBC Radio series Double Exposure, which later became a television series of the same name on CTV and the Comedy Network.

A bus service between Queensborough and New Westminster Secondary School won’t be possible without a significant subsidy from the school district, according to a recent report.

In February, the school district sent Queensborough families with kids attending New West secondary school or Grade 8 at Queensborough Middle School surveys regarding transportation to and from the high school.The majority of people said their children used or intended to use transit to get to and from the high school, according to the report.

A total of 273 surveys

The district would not be able to provide busing for students … without significantly subsidizing the total cost of the service

were sent out and, while 47 were completed, less than half indicated they were interested in a paid bus service.

There were also multiple comments about the potential cost of a paid bus service, noting it shouldn’t cost more than $52, the current price of a TransLink concession pass.

But this would require a hefty investment by the school district, according to

the report.

“The district would not be able to provide busing for students at the same cost as a concession pass without significantly subsidizing the total cost of the service,” read the report.

How much of a subsidy would be required is unclear.The final price tag would depend on how many students signed up as well as other factors, according to the school dis-

2

trict.

As an alternative, the district also asked for feedback regarding carpooling.

While only 11 people said they’d be interested in arranging such a service with other parents, the report noted the district could help connect parents through the parent advisory councils or school newsletter – and there would be no significant costs to the district.

It’s now up to the New Westminster board of education to decide how it wants to proceed.

Trustees are expected to discuss the paid bus service at their next board meeting on April 25.

Do I Need Dentures?

The best starting point to see if dentures are an option for you is to arrange a consultation with your Denturist. The Denturist will consult on your current situation, go over treatment plan options with you and PATRICK MARCELO R.D. then proceed with the according 4 to 6 appointments depending on your denture needs and in accordance with the treatment plan you have both agreed upon. If you have some teeth remaining, an additional step is required - the same initial procedure takes place but following the consultation, the Denturist will send your with a referral to your dentist or to one they recommend to have your remaining teeth checked to ensure that the remaining teeth are healthy enough to withstand a partial denture. At this point collaboration between the two practices continues and the procedure continues.

Are there options for dealing with vehicle financing and mortgages?

Like all other consumer debts, BLAIR MANTIN secured debts can be resolved Licensed Insolvency Trustee using a Consumer Proposal or bankruptcy if you want to end the ongoing commitment, as well as any shortfall/deficit if the asset has been returned or seized. Conversely, with secured debts you could opt to continue with the payment arrangements already in place and instead use a Consumer Proposal or personal bankruptcy to deal with non-secured debts only. Financial obligations can often be unclear, so when in doubt as to how to approach certain debts, speak with a Licensed Insolvency Trustee to clarify your options.

or more than 25 years, the team at New West Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Centre (A.K.A. New West Sports Medicine), has delivered excellence of care in the city. Their compassion and expertise, coupled with the latest state-of-the-art techniques and technologies, assures its patients the very best care through every phase of their treatment.

Physiotherapists Jim Govett, Amrit Purewal, and Eddie Cannon believe their centre is so special in part because theirs is “one of only a few centres in B.C. that offer Physiotherapy, Primary Care Sports Medicine, and Orthopaedic Surgery. As a multidisciplinary medical centre, we can provide excellent communication among our professionals. This leads to a better managed and often quicker recovery from injury.”

Whether you are a professional, amateur or aspiring athlete or you just love sports, you can count on the excellent care provided at the clinic - players on the Vancouver Whitecaps and B.C. Lions, as well as on local teams, such as the New West Salmonbellies, Douglas College, and New West Secondary School, do.

“We have an excellent group of highly respected professionals, each with a strong background of sport experience ranging from soccer, hockey, lacrosse, ball hockey, gymnastics, football, and field hockey, to name a few,” adds Govett.

New West Sports Medicine’s therapists have long been leaders in the field. They are all university trained Physiotherapists registered with the College of Physical Therapists of B.C. Other accomplishments include Masters Degrees in Human Kinetics/Sports Science, Fellowships in Sports Medicine and Manipulative Therapy, and Certification in IMS. They have developed rehabilitation programs for many orthopaedic injuries and post operative care.

Examples include programs for shoulder, knee, hip and spine injuries, as well as core strengthening, balance training, and post concussion syndrome. They are also incorporating telehealth technology to allow the therapist to update a client’s exercise program, and to allow the client to log their progress and provide feedback to the physiotherapist using a mobile app or web browser.

What can I do to prevent a traumatic knee injury in soccer?

The most common severe injury in soccer is tearing the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). Females are 3 to 5 times more likely to sustain an ACL tear in soccer than males. Movements that EDDIE CANNON produce the greatest risk of injury to the ACL are cutting and pivoting, landing from a jump, and decelerating from a sprint. The majority of ACL injuries in soccer occur without any contact with another player. There is good research to indicate that a significant number of ACL tears can be avoided. This is done through preventative programs that include retraining movement patterns such as learning proper landing positions and performing correct decelerating and turning/pivoting mechanics. Your physiotherapist can direct you in preventative measures to keep you from ACL injuries in soccer.

The City of New Westminster is working with the provincial government and local organizations to reduce poverty in the community. For details, head to the city’s Community Poverty Reduction Initiative webpage, which features a strategy document and a handy list of poverty mythbusters.

Find it at www.tinyurl.com/ NWPovertyReduction.

The New Westminster Public Library also has a range of relevant books.Titles like Hillbilly Elegy, $2.00 a Day, Evicted and Deep

South describe economic conditions on the ground.

But it is also worth highlighting books that emphasize what to do about these conditions.

The poverty reduction strategy focuses on relative poverty, which sets the poverty line at 50 per cent of the median income of all households.This measure aims to capture social exclusion – how adequately people are equipped with the economic and social resources necessary for leading a dignified life. Anthony Atkinson’s Inequality:What Is to Be Done? and Martha Nussbaum’s Creating Capa-

bilities are two clear-sighted books specifically about combatting relative poverty.

Recent surveys in the U.K. have found many citizens lack a clear sense of the size and varied functions of the welfare state, in some cases simply equating it with social assistance. John Hills’ Good Times, Bad Times:The Welfare Myth of Them and Us sets out to correct this misconception. Hills uses the stories of families to illustrate how the state helps people smooth income over their lifetimes and meet challenges beyond control.

By Elizabeth Model Central City in Surrey is a bustling mecca of business, shopping and education that has been the catalyst for growth in Surrey’s downtown core since Blackwood Partners purchased the mixed-use development in 2007.

Of course, it hasn’t always been that way. Ten years ago, when Blackwood Partners bought Central City, they took on the complex role of aiding in the rejuvenation of Surrey, which at that time was struggling to attract business and development into what is now Surrey’s vibrant downtown. Developers and businesses alike were looking for a modern, leading-edge facility that could attract not only business, but skilled workers and consumers from every demographic, along with students.

When it was purchased, Central City filled an important void in Surrey’s evolution at the time, and today, it continues to be a magnet for new business and opportunities. It also serves as one of the reasons Surrey continues to be one of the fastest growing cities in Canada, welcoming approximately 800 new residents per month.

The reasons for this are aplenty. Central City is an award-winning facility that combines 140 retail stores with restaurants and services. Not to mention, the large civic plaza was the first open urban space in Surrey when it was built. There is also a 350,000-square-foot Simon Fraser University campus along with a 560,000-square-foot office tower housed within Central City.

In a region that is so dependent on transit to move people, having access to two SkyTrain stations at Central City is hugely important – ultimately connecting people with services and schooling. The two SkyTrain stations, coupled with thousands of

Surrounding Central City, there are a significant number of capital projects completed and currently underway. Developments that are now open to the public include the expansion of Surrey Memorial Hospital, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, the RCMP Headquarters that houses over 2,700 members and support personnel, Surrey’s 77,000-square-foot City Centre Library, and the new 165,000-square-foot Surrey City Hall that opened in February 2014.

In the coming years, we’ll continue to see the areas surrounding Central City evolve and develop into one of Canada’s best urban centres as it attracts new business and opportunities. An exciting new project that is underway is 3 Civic Plaza, a mixed-use Marriott Autograph Collection® hotel coupled with a residential project that is currently under construction. It is 52 storeys and will house a 30,000-square-foot Kwantlen Polytechnic University Satellite Campus once completed. When completed, this tower will be the tallest building in Metro Vancouver outside of downtown Vancouver.

Another important project that will soon join the neighbourhood is a new YMCA with state-of-the-art amenities. These projects are estimated to cost $500 million and will provide significant local and regional economic benefits.

Ultimately, Surrey is growing, from people, to shops, offices and more. Central City’s development was truly a harbinger at the time, and has since resulted in a booming urban centre, which continues to accelerate with public and private investments.

One of the key determinants of physical and emotional health – and, therefore, happiness itself – is our sense of belonging – our connection with our community.

Yet most of us go through our lives as distinctly separate individuals. Siblings compete with one another (as do spouses).We begin our lives in school focused on individual achievement (or failure). In sports, we compete with an “us versus them” mindset.

Competition spreads to every part of adult life.We compete for jobs to earn more and get ahead.We compete for our homes.

We fight traffic in our daily commutes.What is traffic?

Other people.

We compete as we compare ourselves with others, and we judge others – just as we know others are judging us – by the clothes we wear, the cars we drive and the symbolic prestige of particular mundane items of utility – phones, shoes, purses and watches.

When we follow this mainstream way of thinking, the natural conclusion is we all lose. By the end of this life, you will lose all you have gained. Everything you have built will one day be gone, and in a few generations, your name will be forgotten.What’s the point of it all?

How you tell your personal story – how you see

The inescapable truth is this: you are not a separate, independent individual; you are a global citizen …

The “me against the world” and “us versus them” story disconnects us from others and dehumanizes them; they become objects in the way or objects to be used. In reality, we have more in common with every other being on this planet than we realize.

We each have hopes and dreams, pain and pleasure, joys and sorrows.We experience the same range of emotions and we are all subject to illness, misfortune, aging and death.We can unconsciously adopt maladaptive core beliefs and get stuck in narrowed points

of view, yet we each have the capacity to change and grow.

This recognition can awaken compassion.We share our vulnerability, and we share our responsibility.

The big problems of our society and the world will never be solved by people – and countries – looking out for themselves. As long as we see one another as separate and competing individuals, we will continue to see abuse, crime, homelessness, hunger, terrorism and war.

When more of us realize our interdependence and connection with the global community and all life on this planet, we will see the positive evolution of humanity and life on Earth. It begins with you.Together, let us be the change we wish to see.

On Friday, April 7 at 7 p.m., I’ll be speaking at the Vancouver Convention Centre East, 999 Canada Place in Vancouver as part of the Tapestry Foundation for Health Care’s public presentation series. My topic: Going Beyond Old Stories – Exploring, Engaging and Evolving into Our Positive Potentials.

I’ll talk about exploring your personal story and the stories of others, engaging in the understanding and unfolding of your life story, and how our understanding of self, others and life can evolve as we transform our selves and our world towards our positive potentials.

Community OUR PAST

Engineers went on to own businesses in town Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

In the fall of 1863 the Columbia Detachment of Royal Engineers was disbanded.The group had founded the community of New Westminster in the Colony of British Columbia beginning in 1859. After the disbanding, officers went on to other postings or returned to England, while many others stayed on in

this area involved in agriculture or businesses.

It is always interesting to see what type of business they developed and where this took place.The local paper from just months after the disbanding of the Corps answers these questions.Taken from three days in February of 1864, some names, well known as Royal Engineers, appear in advertisements in the local British Columbian newspaper.

There was J.C.White, “architect and draughtsman,” who is “now prepared to draw up plans of buildings, specifications, estimates, and etc. on the shortest notice.”

There was The Franklin House, an inn purchased

by Musselwhite and Davis, all “refurnished” and “now ready to receive boarders and lodgers” with “meals at all hours.”

There was the “carpen-

ters, joiners, and cabinet makers” business of Bonson and Richards, who were “prepared to execute orders in any branch of the above trades.”

There was Thomas Price, tailor and clothier, who “called attention to his carefully selected stock of cloths, tweeds and other materials, which cannot be surpassed in quality by any in the colony,” and Price further noted “gentlemen’s clothing of

every description made to order.”

Wm. H. Rowling, who owned The Retreat in Sapperton, had “a stock of groceries, provisions, and etc. which will be selected with greatest care and sold at prices that will compete with those of any house in New Westminster.” Rowling also noted that he dealt in spirits of all kinds and he “begs to inform those who are fond of a suburban walk

and a glass of good ale that they will always find the best of attention at The Retreat.”

A review of the Columbia Detachment lists shows that all of these men were former Royal Engineers, served proudly in the Colony, and remained, many with families, after the fall of 1863. One advertisement even notes “Late of the Royal Engineers.”

Rush convert Div. 2 debut into another cup win

Longtime friends still playing, thriving after promotion to higher level Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

This is beginning to be more than a trend.

The New Westminster Rush finished another soccer season in familiar fashion, capturing the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s Classic (over-30) Div. 2 Cup. After three seasons in Div. 3, the Rush didn’t skip a beat upon their promotion to the second division, romping undefeated through league play and culminating with Sunday’s 2-1 victory over the Richmond Breakers.

For a team that began four years ago almost as a lark and a reason for a core group of lifetime friends to get together, the onfield success seems to go hand-in-hand with the bonds they have off the field.

“For me, in all my years in sports and coaching, I’ve never seen a group have the camaraderie that this team has,” remarked coach Gord de Graaf. “They are all in, playing for each other.”

Kelly Di Stefano and Kim Susheski, with her fifth goal in the three-game cup march, supplied the offence, as the Rush took the lead 10 minutes into the contest, but needed a late tally to pull out the victory. Liz Porter provided the crucial set-up play for the winner.

“It was a beautiful set-up by (Porter), she played the ball to (Susheski) and she nutmegged it,” said de Graaf.

Deniece Kazuta also tallied five times in the playoffs, which saw the Rush edge Kuna 1-0 and blast the West Coast Breakers 9-0 to advance to the final. It put their record at 16-3-0, having outscored the competition 61-10 and kept it fun all the time.

To think it all started when realtor Courtenay Edwardes called up Lara De Witt and Porter, her school friends, and asked if a recreational soccer team might be a fun way to stay in touch.They jumped at it.

“I wanted to play soccer in New West, my son was playing organized sports, and I thought, why not?,” said Edwardes. “I called Liz and Lara to see if they were interested and they were. ...

“It could have been a different sport or a different thing.We just found something fun to keep connected, and something we’re kind of good at.”

When life-changing events, like careers, marriages and children entered the picture, it became understandably harder to stay in touch. But for this group of 35-plus players,

who nearly all hold tight New West ties, the game is an extension of yesterday and today.

“It’s so much more than soccer,” said Edwardes. “Every single girl on this team is great.The synergy is great. It’s all positive.”

Among the core players who have stuck to the team, four players took up the sport for the first time.They’ve continued to grow and play vital roles, said de Graaf.

“We’ve got a mish-mosh of experience levels, with players who played at a high level to those who never played. It’s quite incredible,” he said.

Having dominated so convincingly, there’s a good chance the Rush – who called themselves the New West Cougars during their first three years – could be promoted.

The Rush’s roster includes: Christy Beattie, Leni Burton, Lara DeWitt, Kelly Di Stefano, Melissa Di Stefano,Tara Domaas, Courtenay Edwardes, Lindsay Edwardes, Jamie Ferguson, Rebecca Fruhm, Deniece Kazuta, Heather Lazzer, Krista Lee, Emily MacLeod, Marney MacLeod, Liz Porter, Steph Purvis,Tonya Roy, Erin Sison and Kim Susheski.

Sherley wields Dragons’ hot stick

Tiffin University’s senior midfielder earns Player of theWeek honours

The Tiffin Dragons continued their winning streak on the weekend, powered by the contributions of two local field lacrosse players.

New Westminster native and senior Morgan Sherley and sophomore Amie Morrison of Burnaby played key roles in Tiffin’s come-from-behind victory Saturday, a 15-11 decision over the Roberts Wellsleyan College Redhawks.

It came one day after the Dragons upset No. 18-ranked Indiana University of Pennsylvania 14-12.

Sherley racked up six goals and six assists over the two games, including the game winner on Friday, to help the Tiffin, Ohio-based Dragons push to their fifth straight win after a 1-2 start to the season.

Morrison, meanwhile, anchored a stel-

lar defensive outing as Tiffin displayed plenty of resilience.The 19-year-old caused three turnovers against Div. 2 powerhouse Indiana, including one late in the game with the opposition chasing the equalizer.

The duo’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed at the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) offices, as Sherley picked up her second Offensive Athlete of the week honour of the season, while Morrison was named the Defensive Athlete of the Week.

Trailing Roberts Wellsleyan 5-1 early in the first half,Tiffin turned the tables with an 11-2 run to lead by five at halftime. Sherley counted the team’s second goal, sparking the rally. It was the third straight game the New West native had struck for at least two goals.

Over the team’s first nine games, Sherley has counted multiple goals on six occasions, including a pair of four-

goal efforts.

A St.Thomas More Collegiate alumna, Sherley counted four in beating Indiana, including the game winner with eight minutes remaining.

The five-foot-nine midfielder sits first in team scoring with 17 goals and 12 assists over nine games.The former Team B.C. player notched 43 goals and 19 assists over 18 games, to finish second in team scoring.

For Morrison, a product of Burnaby South and the Burnaby Mountain Selects, this year has seen bigger assignments for the five-foot-six midfielder. Last year, starting 15 of 18 games, she contributed 11 goals and 15 assists, while collecting 23 ground balls and creating 10 turnovers.

This year she has started all nine games and tallied six goals, while pocketing 12 ground balls and instigating a career-high 11 turnovers.

A LOT GOES INTO YOUR WEBSITE

M’s to swing for the fences NewWest team ready to launch new baseball season

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Snow days have given way to daffodils and rain outs.

About time.

The New Westminster Mariners are set to launch the 2017 Lower Mainland Baseball Association’s men’s over-30 league’s season, with an opening pitch slated for 10 a.m. Sunday at Queen’s Park Stadium.

Change being an eternal element of baseball, this year’s M’s lineup includes a few new faces, but also the loss of longtime manager/ pitcher Todd Campbell.

Campbell, who relocated to Brampton, Ont. due to work, has handed the head coaching duties to centerfielder Maurice Jackson,

who served as an assistant the past few years.

“Most of our players have come back, but losing Todd is a big hit,” said Jackson. “(Campbell) was a pitcher and infielder – not a fastball pitcher but one who threw a lot of junk. He’s left more shoes to fill than just coach.”

Jackson said last year’s eighth-place finish, at 4-101, was a big fall from the expectations coming off a third-place result in 2015.

“We had a big high (in 2015) but last year was very disappointing.We just couldn’t put it together,” he said.

Which brings us to now, when hope springs eternal and a new season has great potential.

“It’s a new chapter. Our

goal is to improve on last year and be a contender.”

The squad has a solid core of four pitchers – Mike Mudry, Nathan Owen, Joon Park and Matt Rebman.

While a few more pitchers would be an asset in chasing down the perennial favourite Howe Sound Hounds and defending champion Burnaby Blue Jays, a lot will depend on who’s available and healthy.

Driving home the runs will be catcher Jason Zwaagstra, Curtis Lucas, Eric Reykdal and Fraser Young, among others.

They open this weekend against the Vancouver Seagulls. Home games are Sundays, 10 a.m. at Queen’s Park.

ROMAN, Mike Passed away peacefully on March 24, 2017 in New Westminster, British Columbia at the age of 83.

Predeceased by his beloved wife Sheila. He will be lovingly remembered by his sons Michael (Jeannine) and David (Amie), his granddaughter Katia, his brother Steve, and his extended family and friends across Canada and beyond.

Mike was born in Lethbridge, Alberta to Ukrainian immigrant parents. While a young boy, the family moved to a small farm in Queensborough, New Westminster, where Mike found time for a Tom Sawyer childhood between his farm chores and studies. Those studies culminated in a Bachelor of Applied Sciences Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia. Mike happily spent his entire career at Imperial Oil, where he retired as Chief Engineer. He was devoted to his family and was proud that both his sons pursued engineering in his footsteps.

In his spare time, Mike loved to be by or on the ocean, in particular working on or sailing his vintage Westerly, Puffin.

Mike was (and his family is) grateful to Arianne, Elizalde and Pancho, whose generosity of spirit helped him to live independently for as long as possible, and to the many wonderful people at Royal City Manor who helped him to live happily and comfortably, with companionship and dignity, when he could no longer be independent.

Parastas (Prayers) were said Sunday April 2, 2017 at 5 pm at Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel, 219 Sixth Street, New Westminster. Divine Liturgy for the Repose of the Soul was celebrated Monday April 3, 2017 at 1 pm at Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church, 501 Fourth Avenue, New Westminster, BC.

Interment was at 3 pm at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations gratefully acknowledged to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., 300-828 West Eighth Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1E2. ....... Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel 604-521-4881
