AN ANCIENT AND HONOURABLE TRADITION

KABOOM: Larry Larkin, toucher off with the Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery, takes part in the annual salute to the memory of Queen Victoria and to Queen Elizabeth II at Queen’s Park Stadium on Victoria Day. The salute of 21 “shots,” using anvils and gunpowder, dates back to the late 1800s in the Royal City. Other members of the Hyack Anvil Battery are: Chris Dupuis (swabber off); Russ Cooper (powder monkey); Kevin Kirkland (blower up), Mark Stevens and Rob McCulloch (right-hand hoisters); Colin Jones and Warren Goss (left-hand hoisters); Brent McInnes (timer); Laurie McInnes (chalker up); Jerry Dobrovolny (medical officer); Archie Miller (historian and MC); Bill Radbourne (adjutant); Fred Sparkes (captain); and Bert Houston (honorary member).

Site finalized for new high school cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The school district has laid to rest the question of where on the New Westminster Secondary School site the new high school will be built.

The school district announced last week the archeological inves-

tigation of the secondary school site is complete, and the subsequent report confirmed there are no burial sites within the proposed building location.

“That was the area we thought was going to work, and it’s come back that that area is clear.We could find no evidence at all of any burial sites in that location that we

had chosen,” Pat Duncan, superintendent of the New Westminster school district, told the Record.

A map of the secondary school site shows the proposed location of the new high school is an Lshaped area that runs behind the existing school, north of Moody Park Arena and east to Sixth Street (over Mercer skatepark).

The current secondary school was built over a public cemetery, known as Douglas Road Cemetery.The cemetery was used between 1860 and 1920 as the final resting place for the bodies of the poor, prisoners, stillborn babies and mentally ill patients from Woodlands and Essondale – which later became Riverview.The land

6:00PM

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7917, 2017 OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 7916, 2017 (1102, 1110, 1116 AND 1122 SALTER STREET)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

An application has been received to amend the Official Community Plan (OCP) Land Use Designation and rezone the site (outlined in bold on the adjacent map). The applicant proposes to amend the OCP Land Use Designation from Residential - Compact Lot (RLC) to Residential – Medium Density (RM). The applicant then proposes to rezone the site from Queensborough Residential Dwelling Districts (RQ-1) to Comprehensive Development Districts (1102 Salter Street) (CD-71), Queensborough Townhouse Districts (RT-3A), Row House Districts (RT-2E), Single Detached Dwelling District (Compact Lots) (RT-2D) and Parks District (P-10).

WHAT IS OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT OCP00015 AND REZONING REZ00128 ABOUT?

An Official Community Plan and a rezoning amendment are required to allow the construction of 18 duplex dwellings, 14 row houses, 10 compact lot houses and 36 townhouses for a total of 78 residential units. The amendments are required as the current Official Community Plan Land Use Designation and zoning of the site would permit single detached dwellings to be constructed and the current proposal exceeds the density currently permitted.

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION?

The bylaw and all pertinent material are available for viewing online at www.newwestcity.ca/publicnotices, and also in the Planning Division at City Hall 10 business days prior to the Public Hearing, May 12, 2017 to May 29, 2017.

B.C. NDP considering recount request in ’Boro Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Irregularities in the way absentee ballots were counted may have altered the outcome in RichmondQueensborough, according to the B.C. NDP. Aman Singh, the B.C. NDP candidate for Richmond-Queensborough, could be filing for a judicial recount in the next few days, Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, campaign coordinator told the Record.

“There were a couple of voter irregularities that we identified quite clearly. One being people were given actual ballots in New Westminster when they were

supposed to vote in Queensborough, instead of being given absentee write-in ballots,” Puchmayr said.

A judicial recount is made to the Supreme Court of B.C. and must be made within six days of the declaration of official election results. Candidates or voters can ask for a judicial recount if ballots were not counted correctly, or if a ballot account does not accurately record the votes cast for a candidate, according to Elections B.C. It’ll be up to the NDP lawyers to decide whether to proceed with the request, but Puchmayr is confident there is enough evidence to move forward.

He alleged some ’Boro residents who voted in mainland New Westminster weren’t given blank absentee ballots, as required. Instead, Puchmayr said they were given ballots meant for residents of the New Westminster electoral district that had the names of candidates running in New West.

“When they came out of the envelopes, the district elections officer denied them,” he said.

Puchmayr argued absentee Queensborough voters should never have been issued the New Westminster ballots in the first place. In fact, he would have liked to see Elections B.C. do a bet-

ter job to help Queensborough residents who chose to vote outside their polling station – a process he called unusual and complex.

“It was an error on Elections B.C.’s part.”

The new riding realignment, which lumped New Westminster’s Queensborough neighbourhood in with the eastern part of Richmond to create the new riding of RichmondQueensborough, provided another level of confusion for voters, Singh added.

“I ran into many people on the doorsteps that weren’t even aware there was a realignment and that they weren’t a part of New West anymore, and they

The Hyack Grand Prix has hit too many bumps in the road to make it work for this year, but the NewWest Grand Prix is still on track.

The Hyack Festival Association had planned to hold the event on Saturday, May 20 as a kick-off to Hyack Week but announced May 17 that the event had to be cancelled.The race was to take place in an area around Queens Avenue, Manitoba Street, Peele Street,Third Street, Liverpool Street and Fourth Street.

“In a nutshell, we ran out of time,” said Hyack president David Brett. “We didn’t receive final approval from the city until May 2, and there was a lot of things we had to commit to prior to that, so it just got pushed to a point where we weren’t able to make the commitments for spotters, officials and fencing.”

Because concerns about liability are so high with municipalities, Brett said every little detail about a highspeed bike race is subject to

risk management analysis.

“Those risk-management factors became a real factor for us,” he said. “One of the things that came up from the city that caused a real delay was they asked for a four-foot high metal fence for the entire race route.

This is kind of unheard of unless it is a major international event like they are having with the NewWest Grand Prix.When you are having international riders, they may require this full fencing, but for an amateurstyle event that we were proposing, it was not normal to have that.That was going to cost us an additional $16,000.”

While the city worked very hard with Hyack to overcome obstacles related to the race, Brett said it was too late in the game for Hyack to mount the event in a way that would do it justice.

“We are by no means giving up. It’s a great sport. I think people will really enjoy it,” he said. “Once the city gets some experience with it, some of the fear around what could happen might subside.”

The Hyack Grand Prix is not to be confused with the 2017 NewWest Grand Prix, which is taking place on July 11 in downtown NewWestminster. Part of B.C. Superweek, a road cycling series, the NewWest Grand Prix will feature riders from across North America racing on a route that includes Sixth, Eighth, Carnarvon and Columbia streets.

Representatives from the city, B.C. Superweek and Canada’s professional cycling community held a press conference in March to announce the city had signed a four-year agreement to be a host city for B.C. Superweek.The event, held in the second week of July each year, includes professional men’s and women’s events, as well as kids’ races open to kids 12 and under who will compete in three age categories.

The NewWest Grand Prix will begin with a youth race at 5:30 p.m. on July 11, followed by the women’s race at 6:15 p.m., the men’s race at 7:30 p.m., and the awards ceremony at about 9 p.m.

day as well.

“After closing the vote on Monday, they had already identified that those votes were in favour of one party or another and changing the rules the next day, to reverse that, I feel is an issue,” he said.

In all, there were 172 rejected ballots in RichmondQueensborough, according to Puchmayr.

“There is enough rejected ballots that would make the difference in this election,” he said.

And Singh agrees.

“It’s a really high number of rejected ballots, so I think there’s something to be looked at there,” he said.

weren’t very happy,” he said.

The confusion was evident on some of the absentee ballots completed by Queensborough residents.

They featured New Westminster NDP candidate Judy Darcy’s name instead of Singh’s, according to Puchmayr.

On the first day absentee ballots were counted, ballots with B.C. NDP leader John Horgan’s name or Darcy’s name and NDP written out were counted in favour of Singh, Puchmayr said. But the next day the electoral officer decided to count the ballots differently, and when Puchmayr objected, the officer decided to recount the ballots from the previous

Opinion OUR VIEW

We are simply gluttons for fresh water The jokes were flowing, pardon the pun, last week when Stage 1 water restrictions were instituted in the Lower Mainland - including New Westminster.

No wonder.We’ve experienced one of the wettest Aprils on record, and it’s hard to fathom (excuse another pun) that we would ever run out of water here on the wet coast.

But that, as we have

learned, can all change in a matter of several dry, hot weeks.

The Lower Mainland’s population has grown and so has our thirst for water.

And because we have seldom experienced a true water shortage, we are also unused to considering that we must ration our water supply.

We are simply gluttons for water.We wash our

cars, our driveways, our vinyl siding and our fences. Everyone seems to have a pressure washer out on weekends, scouring moss or dirt out of crevices, or blasting patios and decks down.We love our showers and baths, and then there are the backyard pools and hot tubs.We think nothing of leaving a sprinkler on to soak our unnaturally green lawns, and we are horrified

if a city park for kids does not have a spray park replete with numerous nozzles that shoot water everywhere.

We seem blissfully unaware that our seemingly infinite renewable water resource could ever dry up.

And yet the planet is getting hotter, and we are witnessing more extreme weather systems each year.

Thankfully, water meter-

ing does have an impact on our unquenchable desire for water.While we may all mouth the politically appropriate slogans about saving the planet, many of us are much more moved by a hit to our wallets than a bumper sticker.

This past week, New Westminster promoted a new electric car service launching in the city.

There’s a lot more to saving

the planet than just plugging in an electric car. But it’s a good start. It’s also a good start to turn off the water sprinkler and let the lawn turn brown. It won’t kill it. Oh, and it won’t hurt the sidewalk if it has a coat of dirt on it either.

Remember Stage 1 water restrictions are now in effect – check your house number and make sure you’re following the rules.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

How Green will B.C. become?

It’s going to be fascinating and, at times, amusing, to watch how this province’s two major political parties deal with the upstart new kid on the block: the B.C. Green Party. As of this column’s writing, the final election count had yet to be concluded, so it was unclear whether the Greens would be in a coalition with one of the other two parties or simply be the third party whose support would still be coveted by a tiny B.C. Liberal minority.

Whatever the outcome, it is clear the Greens will enjoy a level of influence on the next government – no matter which party is leading it – that is grossly disproportionate to the level of support it received from B.C. voters.The Greens took three seats with less than 18 per cent of the vote, but party leader AndrewWeaver, in his various dealings with the media, has been talking as if his party was the vote leader on election night.

He keeps releasing an ever-increasing list of demands that must be met to gain the Greens’ support in the legislature and thus allow a party with a minority status or even a bare majority (44 or 45 seats) to form the government. He calls them “deal breakers,” and their status as priority items seems to change daily.

His first such deal breaker is potentially the most alarming one.Weaver wants the next government to unilaterally impose an entirely new system of voting for government, one based on some kind of proportional representation model (of

which there are many). No referendum first; just do it, he says.

He wants to ban all corporate and union donations to political parties.This one has gotten away from the Greens a little bit after Globe and Mail columnist Gary Mason revealed this past weekend the party was trying to woo $30,000 from a developer.

During the election campaign,Weaver told me his third priority item was a massive increase to the education system, yet that doesn’t seem to have come up again since.

He is demanding the Greens be awarded “official party status” in the legislature. I assume this one at least will have both NDP and B.C. Liberal support.

And where shutting down the Site C dam sits on the Green priority list is now unclear.Weaver told me it’s on the list, but he’s now not exactly sure in what spot.

The Greens obviously share more policy positions with the NDP than the B.C. Liberals (opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline and Site C, for example), but some of their policies will give New Democrats major headaches as well (expanding, and not eliminating, bridge tolls as well as a fairly rapid increase to the carbon tax).

It’s going to be a wild ride. But just how Green that ride becomes once the reality of governing takes over for either of the major parties remains very uncertain.

That didn’t work out well

An anti-theft measure didn’t exactly work in the way it was intended for a Burnaby man in January.The man was part of a now-defunct ICBC program and had a Combat Auto Theft (CAT) sticker on his car.The sticker authorized police to pull the vehicle over if it was seen on the road between 1 and 5 a.m. A NewWest police officer did just while the car’s owner was driving drunk with 25 grams of marijuana in the vehicle. He got a 24-hour roadside suspension and was charged with possession of a narcotic.

Heritage can’t trump property owners’ rights

Dear Editor Re: Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation. The recent war of words in Queen’s Park regarding heritage conservation has unwittingly uncovered a cancer on municipal politics that has been brewing below the surface for many years.

Approximately 30 years ago, I was appointed to the heritage advisory committee by Mayor Toporowski. Our chairperson was Yvonne Cocke, and I distinctly remember asking Yvonne about the very same issue that confronts us today, namely: How does one go about forcing an individual property owner to restore his home instead of demolishing it and building a new one to his own architectural tastes and preferences ? Her answer was clear and unequivocal: “It would never come to that. We would try to convince him not coerce him. We’re not fascists.”

Unfortunately, Yvonne is no longer with us, and the committee has been turned into a commission whose silence on these fundamental issues is deafening.

Let us be clear about what is at stake here.

The latest attack involves a heritage alteration permit, whereby any property owner in the Queen’s Park area wishing to demolish his house built prior to 1940 ( so he can build a new one) must obtain this permit prior to doing so. In order to acquire the permit, It is for the he must prove to a benefit of city-controlled a handful and financed of heritage “design panel” that diehards the house has no“heritage” value (whatever that means).

If the panel decides it does have heritage value, then demolition will be denied and he is forced to live in it indefinitely or sell it at a much reduced price. If it does not have heritage value, then the panel will impose upon him their preferred “heritage” design guidelines for his new house, all of this at his expense, of course.

This has a very familiar ring to it. It’s the same “government of men” and “mob rule” that we uncovered in the recent OCP wars. However, in this case, it is not for the benefit of the city’s property tax. Rather, it is for the benefit of a handful of heritage diehards who think they are morally and legally entitled to ram their version of the architectural good life down the throats of their fellow citizens. This assault on private property rights is worse than the OCP version.

It’s much more “in your face.” However, from a legal perspective, it’s exactly the same. It is trespassing, plain and simple, i.e. “to make inroads on the property or rights of another.”

The law of trespass, which predates even the Magna Carta, is one of the oldest and most powerful laws in the Common Law. To challenge it directly is a recipe for disaster on the part of any government “perpetrator.”

It is interesting to note here that in the recent heritage related case of Shaughnessy vs. City of Vancouver, the issue of trespass was never even brought up! Shaughnessy never argued principles, they just wanted more money on a technicality. In any event, the City of Vancouver has since freely admitted that violating citizens’ property rights was not the best course of action

for two obvious reasons. Firstly, if a new action is started by other plaintiffs, the trespassing law will be called into play and the city will most certainly lose. Secondly and probably more importantly, the city cannot now avoid the compensation issue because they got their way by force without the property owner’s consent.

Since the properties in Shaughnessy are extremely expensive, the net compensation payable by the city will be in the millions. Who will pay for that ? You guessed it – the taxpayers at large. Is this what we want for this city ? I don’t think so.

The only practical and just way of resolving this issue is to go back to Yvonne Cocke’s tried and true principle of “by mutual consent to mutual benefit” with the following additional and more explicit procedure: Let the heritage diehards of Queen’s Park collect from their supporters an annual heritage conservation “fee” and then use these funds to pay the homeowner/builder the additional construction costs of building to their architectural details as shown on their marked-up drawings. In this way, they will be forced to put their heritage money where their heritage mouth is and it won’t cost the rest of the city a dime.

In the event that, after all this process, some homeowners still refuse to be dictated to, then that is their legal right. Just accept it, respect it and move on. Such is the nature of living in a free country, and since great leaders like Laurier are no longer anywhere to be found, it falls to us to“preserve at all cost our civil liberty, both political and commercial.” For our country to remain free, nothing could be more important.

In light of this, I would suggest that the appropriate signs for the front lawns of homes in Queen’s Park should read: NO TO HERITAGE TRESPASSING. Governments of all sizes and stripes need to hear and see this kind of message in action. More importantly, so do our children.

Why is city ignoring Quayside’s needs?

Dear Editor: Why has The City of New Westminster turned it’s back on the Quayside community? It seems that our folks at city hall have decided that the community at Quayside doesn’t exist.

They have no problem collecting taxes from the residents of this community but are loath to address basic community needs.

The mayor has said they have no intention of cleaning up the trash dumped off the McInnis Overpass on a daily basis. Break-and-enters are rampant, yet no increased police presence.

Off-leash dog bylaws are not enforced. Requests for much needed bus shelters and improved pedestrian crossings have been turned down.

The wooden boardwalk is deteriorating to the point of becoming a safety hazard. And the accumulation of sand and gravel from winter snow removal along the esplanade has been left behind despite repeated requests to have it removed.

It appears the city is quite eager to approve massive huge developments in the area but has no intention of addressing the needs of the current residents of the community.

I remember Jonathan Cote coming to my door asking for my vote. Hmm, seems like our community only matters during an election year.

City School district confirms site for new secondary school

Continued from page 1 and Mercer Stadium from 10th Avenue to Eighth Avenue, the south corner of the site at Eighth Street and Eighth Avenue, and Massey Theatre. ! The official cemetery land, which runs from 10th Avenue and Eighth Street to Dublin Street and makes up more than five acres.

The school district and provincial government have promised no construction will take place on any known burial grounds.The recent archeological impact assessment is part of the process to ensure this promise is fulfilled, Duncan said.

But the public will have to wait a little longer to read

the report for themselves.

Because the site is, in part, a Heritage Conservation Act area, the archeological assessment has to be sent to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations so the provincial archeology branch can conduct a review of the findings. Four First Nations groups will also review the report before it is made public.

The archeological impact assessment was conducted by Golder Associates and began last summer.

Ground-penetrating radar, soil samples and a pit test were all part of the assessment to determine where construction could take

place on the site.

While the report has confirmed where the new high school will be built, there is still a chance crews could uncover archeological materials. In order to mitigate such a discovery, an archeologist will oversee excavation of any sensitive areas, Duncan said.

This includes land that borders the cemetery and Heritage Conservation Act

areas, he added.

“We just want to make sure, that’s all,” Duncan said. “If any artifacts or evidence of human remains are observed, we’ll just stop

work in that location and then we go through the regulatory authority’s process.”

If this happens, construction will continue in other locations to avoid any major delays in the project, he added.

Duncan said the district expects to break ground sometime in October, one month later than anticipated when the project was announced last June. Despite

the delay, he still expects the school to open in September 2019, although he admits crews could still be putting finishing touches on the school for a few months following its opening.

“We know it’s a very, very compressed schedule,” Duncan said, “and everything has to go well for us to hit our goal, but at this point we are still projecting for September 2019.”

City

Whistles go silent downtown Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Trains travelling through two crossings in downtown NewWestminster no longer have to sound their whistles – but that doesn’t mean they’ll be whistle-free.

Working with the railways, the City of New Westminster has achieved whistle cessation at the Begbie Street/Front Street and Fourth Street/Front Street railway crossings.

“City staff have worked diligently with multiple

parties to address this issue throughout a lengthy and complex process,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote.

“This is an important step in moving forward our long-term goal of whistle cessation across our city.”

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the city’s railway community advisory panel helped “big time” and was a significant factor in moving the whistle cessation initiative forward, as it provided a place where railway representatives, city officials and community mem-

bers could discuss railway issues. He said it provided a forum where the various parties could start to understand each other’s issues and develop respect for each other.

“The railways didn’t have to agree with any of it,” he said. “All of this is subject to approval of the railways. If the railways didn’t agree, they simply would not engage and we would never have it. It took a lot of relationship building.When we started this you could see the tension.”

While whistles will no longer need to be sounded when trains are travelling through these crossings, engineers may need to sound train whistles for safety or in emergency situations.

“I am getting a lot of feedback,” said Puchmayr, who chairs the panel. “People are saying how much they love this.”

The city is continuing to work towards achieving whistle cessation at other crossings in the city.

Johal not concerned about a recount B.C. NDP has six days to request a judicial recount in ’Boro riding

Continued from page 5 Singh lost the race in Richmond-Queensborough with 8,084 votes – 134 fewer than Jas Johal of the B.C. Liberal Party, who won with 8,218 votes.

Johal said he’s not worried about a possible ju-

dicial recount, and he just wants to get to work.

“I’ll let the process unfold, as it should. I’m pleased with the results, and I’m just looking forward to serving the needs of residents of RichmondQueensborough,” he told

the Record.

“At the end of the day, I think people need to remind themselves, having covered war zones and revolutions, I got to tell you, whatever transpires in an election, no shots were fired, no one was injured,

there was no riots, this was democracy at work and we should be very fortunate.”

Elections B.C. was expected to release the official election results Wednesday evening, after Record deadlines.

Water restrictions kick off in the city Though Mother Nature has provided plenty of rain over the past few weeks Stage 1 water restrictions are in effect now until Oct. 15.

Stage 1 for residential lawn watering, means evennumbered addresses can water Monday,Wednesday and Saturday from 4 to 9 a.m., while odd-numbered addresses can water Tuesday,Thursday and Sunday (same time frame).

For non-residential lawn watering (mixed-used addresses), watering rules are as follows: even-numbered addresses, Monday and Wednesday, from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.; odd-numbered addresses,Tuesday and Thursday, 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.; and both even and odd addresses, Friday, from 4 to 9 a.m.

Restrictions don’t apply to: flowers and vegetable gardens, decorative planters, shrubs and trees; commercial flowers and vegetable gardens; private pools, spas and garden ponds;

public water play parks; private and commercial pressure washing; residential, public and commercial fountains and water features; golf courses; school yards and sports fields.

Car or boat washing, meanwhile, requires hoses equipped with a springloaded shut-off valve.Washing must be done on a grass or gravel surface to prevent run-off from entering the city’s storm sewer system.

Watering restrictions are enforced in order to conserve drinking water during the driest part of the year, according to a Metro Vancouver press release.

Watering outside the allowed Stage 1 days and times comes with a $150 fine.

To report a violation, call the New Westminster parking department at 604-5192010 or email parking@newwestcity.ca.

Raymond Burr’s partner pitches in $25,000

By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Raymond Burr’s legacy will live on at Douglas College.

The Raymond Burr Performing Arts Society and the Burr 100 committee teamed up with Douglas College to put on events on

May 16 and 17 to celebrate the New Westminster-born actor’s 100th birthday and to raise funds for the Raymond Burr Performing Arts Society’s bursary.The committee has announced that Robert Benevides, Burr’s life partner, has helped the groups achieve their fundraising goal by

donating US $25,000 to endow the annual bursary.

Benevides was unable to attend the fundraiser at Douglas College, but endorsed the initiative.

“I soundly applaud your concerted efforts on behalf of Raymond’s 100th birthday.Your connection with Douglas College is exactly

what Raymond would have done were he still with us,” he said in a press release.

“He told me many times about two plays that he starred in at the Pasadena Playhouse that he really felt proud of – in one he played Henry VIII and in the other he was Paul Gaugin.”

The bursary, now in its

seventh year, is awarded to a second-year student in the theatre arts program at Douglas College.

Anyone wishing to make tax-deductible donations to the bursary can go to raymondburr.blogspot. com.

The Emmy-winning actor, born in New West-

minster on May 21, 1917, died on Sept. 12, 1993 in California and is buried at Fraser Cemetery. He is known for iconic TV roles like Perry Mason (1957 to 1966) and Ironside (1967 to 1975), as well as roles in films like Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller RearWindow.

Arts & Entertainment Maple Leaf Singers pay tribute to Canadian music

The Maple Leaf Singers are paying tribute to Canada in celebration of the country’s 150th anniversary.

The singers are bringing their show, From the Heart, to the Massey Theatre for performances on May 27 and 28.

The choir is known for its varied repertoire, from folk and classical to rock and pop, from gospel to Broadway and movie memories.

This year, Broadway magic will take centre stage for the concert, with numbers from such shows as Into theWoods, Mamma Mia!, Something Rotten, Rent, Mary Poppins, Billy Elliot and more.

Plus, audiences can enjoy some true Canadiana, including three different versions of the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah! – not to mention works by such Canadian talents as Tiller’s Folly, David Baker, Joni Mitchell, David Myles and James Keelaghan. Solos, duets and quartets will also be part of the lineup.

Sing out: The Maple Leaf Singers are bringing their show From the Heart to the Massey Theatre May 27 and 28. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

The Maple Leaf Singers have a 49-year history in the region, and they’ve become known for concerts that use choreography, props and costuming.

“We are a show choir,” says director Wilson Fowlie.

“We don’t just offer a concert; we put on a show!”

The 50-member chorus practises six-part harmony twice weekly to perfect their performances, with shows some 12 to 15 times a year at community centres, churches, seniors’ residences, fundraisers and spe-

cial events.

Ticket proceeds from the annual spring show help to cover costs of rehearsals, sound equipment, transportation, music and costumes.

From the Heart is onstage Saturday, May 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 28 at 2 p.m. at the Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. General admission tickets are $20, or $10 for kids 12 and under. Buy through www.ticketsnw.ca or 604521-5050, or see www. mapleleafsingers.com for more information.

A native of Winnipeg, Shannon attended the University of Manitoba, earning her Bachelor of Education, while working with children and adults with exceptionalities. After settling in Vancouver, Shannon began teaching in the Burnaby School District. In 2001, when funding for Autism therapy began, parents asked Shannon how to access the funding to benefit their children, while staying within the budgetary limits. Shannon and her colleague began creating curriculums to meet those needs, and Daybreak Consulting was born.

For 16 years, students have been coming to Daybreak to learn the conventions of social communication. “Individuals on the Autism Spectrum have immense gifts, but interacting socially can be overwhelming. Our SCIT program, (Social Communication Intensive Therapy) reduces the barriers to navigating social interaction, and increases capacity to develop meaningful friendships,” says Shannon.

Parents share that Daybreak is a place where their children feel safe and accepted, while being challenged to grow and improve,

along with new friends. Daybreak is a small company, which allows for more connection, and a family atmosphere.

The outstanding Daybreak Team, custom designed curriculums that adapt as students grow from Kindergarten to adulthood, and a commitment to facilitating true inclusion are just some of the reasons that Daybreak Consulting is successful. Shannon looks forward to the privilege of supporting children and families for years to come.

fter more than a decade in the interior design industry, Michelle Bernier launched a new career path with the establishment of Design With Confidence and Color With Confidence in 2013. In 2016, she combined both businesses into one and rebranded it as Michelle Dupré Design & Company, and relocated to a larger venue at 314 Sixth Street to reflect the changes and new products.

Michelle loves to work with older homes and to give each a modern classic update that stays fresh and versatile for years to come. Offering a broad range of personalized services, Michelle begins with an in-home consultation complete with computerized renderings of each project to help clients visualize different options. Working with a team of professional trades people, she also is able to help select the ideal quality product for each step of the job.

She has taken a constant learning approach to her profession. “There’s a constant change in our industry probably more than any other,” she explains. “Something new is on the market almost every week that we need to evaluate.

What’s her secret?

With more than 26 years in the industry, this dynamic realtor has demonstrated an adaptability to change, attention to detail and an ability to establish great client relationships.

“We are always looking for new ideas to market our listings,” explains the 7 time winner of Readers’ Choice for Best Realtor Agent in New Westminster and winner of Outstanding performance in 2016. “We recently created an Open House page that lists all of the open houses for the weekend in New West and feature our own at the top of the list. This has positioned us to reach more people who don’t know where to look for open houses.”

Year after year, Patti and son Wes Goss have successfully generated repeat business and cultivated referrals. That is because they always keep up with the fast-paced, ever-changing industry. Recently Patti and Wes rebranded themselves of sorts.

“That includes creating a whole new website, designing a team logo, creating a more inspirational work space and enhancing our social media platform,” she explains. “We have also streamlined our systems to be as efficient as possible.”

E

ntrepreneur and contemporary artist, Susan L. Greig, envisioned a studio-gallery where artists could gather to create and showcase their work as well as offer an on-going program of special exhibitions. In 2014, 100 Braid St Studios opened its doors. Since its inception, the studio has been a resounding success. Today, there are 16 resident artists, with a waitlist of 32 artists.

“The actual creation of painting and then the honour that someone wants to take that painting home and have it part of their life brings me so much excitement,” she explains.

Terra received a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Design degree.

Recently, her talent for art led her to start pursuing her art career.

Terra believes that what captures those who purchase her art is her “strong voice and vision on how I want my brand to be and how to connect my art, design and passion together.”

“The way our gallery/workshop space is set up with window walls so guests can see into the artist working spaces is unlike anything else in North America as far as I can tell,” adds this visionary.

Additionally, its Team bonding painting events for business and corporations provide an opportunity for teams “to learn about each other in new ways and to interact in a new environment

Community A CONVERSATION WITH

SHOSHAWNA PATEL Shoshawna Patel surprised even herself when she won gold in the baking category at the Skills Canada B.C. competition held in Abbotsford last month. With a provincial win under her belt, the Grade 12 New Westminster Secondary student has her sights set on the national title. She will travel to Winnipeg in June for the Skills Canada competition, which runs June 1 and 2.

The Record caught up with Patel to hear how she’s preparing and what got her interested in baking.

WHEN DID YOU GET INTO BAKING? I’ve been interested since I was very young, but I never really started actually baking and getting into it until I was in maybe Grade 8 or 9.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BAKING? I like the feeling that it gives to people. Like, of

course, I love the creativity of it, but my favourite part is the reaction that I get from people when they enjoy it.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE THING TO MAKE? Personally, I really enjoy doing cakes because I get to decorate them the way I like to.

SO IT’S ALMOST LIKE ART, RIGHT? Yeah. My cake is my canvas.

WHAT ABOUT CHALLENGES? Honestly, this competition has been the most challenging. I believe it’s because I’m still going to high school and I’m still working and my life is still going on on top of making sure I have time and energy put aside for that.

YEAH, SO WHAT DO YOU DO TO PREPARE FOR COMPETITIONS?

For the first competition I would do just Saturday morning for eight hours practising. It would be like – because competition is seven hours long – it was basically we would time ourselves and we’d do a mini competition. And for right now, I go in two days a week, so Saturday and sometime during the week, and I practice because it’s going to be three-and-ahalf hours and it’s going to be two days long. So it’ll be seven in total when we’re in Winnipeg, and I’m just basically timing myself and doing what I need to to prep for the competition, making everything I need to.

SO IT’S GONE FROM SEVEN HOURS TO THREE-ANDA-HALF HOURS AND TWO DAYS, DO YOU THINK IT’LL BE EASIER OR HARDER? Currently, with my practising, it’s been a lot easier. Like the first day being three-and-ahalf hours, I get to prep everything I need to and then I present two of my items. And then the next day, which is the last threeand-a-half hours, is much easier because I’ve prepped everything and I just need to

perfectly.

DID YOU EXPECT TO WIN? No, I really didn’t.

DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS OR GOAL FOR THE NATIONAL COMPETITION? I plan to practice a lot harder than I did this time (for provincials) because during our mock competition, I never won even once. So I’d like to win my mock competition this time in order to really win next time.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR AFTER GRADUATION? I actually start up at the Art Institute in July, and I’m going to be doing a one-year Red Seal program.

In the kitchen: Shoshawna Patel, a Grade 12 student at New Westminster Secondary School, won a gold medal for baking at last month’s Skills Canada B.C. competition held in Abbotsford. In June, she will take part in the Skills Canada national competition in Winnipeg. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

assemble it all.

WHAT WAS THE ABBOTSFORD (PROVINCIAL) COMPETITION LIKE? It was really exciting. At first I was really nervous, I was actually competing against my best friend, so it was really difficult. We were supporting each other,

and at first I paid attention to the fact people were watching. My hands were shaking. It was unbelievable, and then towards the middle of it, I had forgotten that people were even there. I stayed at my station the majority of the time, and I just powered through. I finished early, so I was done and everything turned out

2017

THAT’S AWESOME. WHAT DOES YOUR FAMILY THINK OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS? They’re pretty proud of me, considering I got into two schools. I just had to decide which one I was going to go into. And I’m working hard to maintain my grades, so they’re pretty proud.

Legion Week Stories brought to life once more party on in June Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Continued from page 26 “We will have the barbecue out – there is going to be free hamburgers and hotdogs from one o’clock until supplies last.The ladies auxiliary is putting out a big bake sale table.We also have all our Legion swag that we have outside.We are going to be supporting Toonies for Troops.

“All the kids are welcome.

We have free face painting and balloons for kids.

I believe we are going to be having some boardwalk games to support Toonies for Troops – carnival-style games, like ring tosses and things like that.”

The local branch received a grant from B.C./Yukon Command of the Royal Canadian Legion to host the event. Legion Week is being celebrated in British Columbia from June 23 to 29.

“It’s going to be rain or shine,” Lapre said. “It’s all about getting the information of our membership out

there and supporting your local Legion and everything else we support in the community.”

According to the B.C/Yukon Command’s website, Legion Week is a chance to dispel the myths and misperceptions about the Legion and to let the public know about its charitable and volunteer efforts in the community.

“We are going to have all the blue coats out here all day walking around the street handing out balloons.

We have got Legion guest cards,” Lapre said. “We want everybody to check us out and find out what we are all about.”

Terry Leath, first vice president of the New Westminster Legion Branch 2, encourages residents to come out to the event and celebrate Legion Week.

“This is our first go at it,” he said. “We are hoping to get a good crowd.”

Thornebridge Gardens is giving residents a chance to leave a lasting legacy for their families and to build bonds with their peers.

Since 2015, the local retirement residence has partnered with Simon Fraser University on several sessions of a digital storytelling program. Nearly 20 seniors aged 80 and up have taken part in the program, and another session will get underway in the fall.

“They find it very meaningful,” said Shreya Qazi, life enrichment manager

with Verve Senior Living.

“They connect with each other. It gives them an opportunity to grow. It gives them something that they will pass to their grandkids and great grandkids and say, ‘Hey, here is my story on a USB. Maybe someday you would like to know what the legacy was in the family.’”

During the process of story development, residents are encouraged not only to tell the story but to reflect on how it impacted them, using images, historical records, etc.

“It grants them an opportunity to reflect on and share their life experiences

Stories to share: Seniors at Thornebridge Gardens retirement residence, including, from left, Dorothy Furness, Fenny Stolp and Pat Kain, are taking part in a digital storytelling program offered in cooperation with Simon Fraser University. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

with their peers,” Qazi said.

“It’s like a legacy.”

Participants in the 10week program work with officials from Simon Fraser University and their peers

to develop their stories.

“It really enhances their relationships because they help them,” Qazi said about program Continued on page 28

Celebrating Seniors

Seniors share life stories for digital project Continued from page 27 participants. “If somebody needs to scan something, if somebody needs a picture of something.They will help each other.”

The seniors’ stories are on topics as varied as serving in war or having a break-in at their home.

It’s really great to see residents helping build unity between the generations and strengthen the heritage.

While some stories leave listeners with goosebumps, many are tinged with humour.

“One woman was telling a story about how she had so many kids,” Qazi said.

“She said, ‘and then we fig-

ured out how we were having them and we stopped it.’”

When Thornebridge Gardens learned of the elders’ digital storytelling research project at Simon Fraser University, it was eager to get involved. Qazi said SFU does “an amazingly good job” in working with the seniors.

“The SFU part is the technology side of it,” Qazi said. “The residents’ part is their stories in their own voices.They read the stories.When it comes on the screen, it’s them talking about their life story or a part of their life.”

While the seniors are pretty savvy about technology, the crew from SFU help them put pictures to the music and stories, edit the content to emphasize certain words – things that help make a good movie.

At the end of each 10-week program,Thornebridge Gardens holds a premiere where the residents can share their digital stories.

Building community: Residents are embracing a digital storytelling program being offered at Thornebridge Gardens in cooperation with Simon Fraser University. From left, Shreya Qazi, life enrichment manager at Thornebridge Gardens; Lena Rebecca Richardson, part of the SFU team; David Kaufman, a professor in SFU’s faculty of education; program participant Anna Smith; Michelle Vanchu-Orosco, a post-doctoral research associate in SFU’s faculty of education; and Wilma Atchison, a pioneer of getting this program started at Thornebridge Gardens.

“On the premiere night, it’s their friends, it’s their stories,” Qazi said. “Families are here, friends are here, people in the community are here.They are all

like ‘Wow.’” Qazi said the digital story telling program nurtures residents’ body, mind and spirit.

“They rave about it,” she

said. “The feel their self-esteem shoot up so much.”

Qazi said the project is a perfect fit for New Westminster, which is a place that supports its heritage.

“It’s really great to see the residents helping to build unity between the generations and strengthen the heritage,” she said. “That’s what New West is all about.”

St. Ann’s grads enjoy a trip down memory lane tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A group of high school friends enjoyed a trip down memory lane on the weekend.

Former students from St. Ann’s Academy visited the New Westminster Museum and viewed some of the artifacts from the former school in downtown New Westminster.The Catholic girls’ school was located near Albert Crescent.

“We graduated in 1967 from St. Ann’s Academy – and then it was torn down,” said Barbara Moritz. “It was a very good experience.

We had a small graduating class, which wasn’t unusual, of 23.You could really get to know each other.We have always gathered formally every five years since then.We have formed lifelong friendships from being there.”

On May 20, women from St. Ann’s Academy’s 1967 graduating class gathered to celebrate their 50th high school reunion.The re-

NEED A LAUGH? Megan Milton is hosting the Royal City’s newest comedy show.

“The Old Crow Comedy Sho. is a monthly comedy show at Old Crow Coffee Co. featuring local comedian Milton’s friends and very good comedians she is paying to pretend are her friends,” she says in an email to the Record.

May’s headliner is Amber Harper-Young, who appeared at Just for Laughs Northwest Festival 2016, who we’re told is known for her “absurd colourful style of self-deprecating comedy and is one of Vancouver’s best comics.”The show also features San Aung, Morris Bartlett, Andrew Ryan Fox, Nikki Sirett, Joel Oxales and Elizabeth Ettles.

Admission is $5 at the door, with doors opening at

FUTURE “MAYORS” VISIT CITY HALL Mayor Jonathan Cote may have some competition if he hopes to have a long

reign as the Royal City’s mayor.

“I had the opportunity to tour a few kindergarten classes through city hall this past week, and it was very well received,” he told council May 15. “I think, by the

end of it, the 2035 mayoral race could be very interesting as a number of kindergartners decided that they were going to run for mayor when they are old enough.”

ASK A VETERINARIAN

Q A

How can I prevent ticks on my dog?

It is important to check your dog for ticks after any outdoor activity, and have them removed immediately by a veterinarian. Ticks often attach DR. MANJU ARORA onto a dog’s neck, head and ears. Ticks carry many bloodborne diseases including Lyme Disease which can also affect humans.

There are several veterinary products to prevent ticks on dogs.

Ticks can be prevented using a monthly liquid topical treatment that is also effective against fleas. A new prescription tablet is now available from your veterinarian that will protect your dog against ticks and fleas for 12 weeks with a single dose.

ASK AN ESTHETICIAN

Q A

What causes acne?

Retention Hyperkeratosis is at the very core of acne and in order to affect the acne condition this process must be interrupted.

The outer most layer of our skin is called the “Stratum Corneum” which has KATIE MARSHALL tightly packed dead skin cells that also extend down in to the pore. Inside the pore this layer is only 4-5 cells deep.

Studies have shown the “acne-affected” follicle is producing cells 4 to 5 times faster than the normal follicle. When these cells stick together they can form a mass (impaction) within the follicle.

We have natural “enzymes” that control the thickness of the stratum corneum layer, research has shown that acne sufferers have fewer enzymes.

Clearing and controlling breakouts is possible with the right clinical acne home care and treatments with a trained acne specialist.

DERRICK THORNHILL SPRING MARKET UPDATE

If you were disappointed that you didn’t take advantage of the record high prices last spring, you will be thrilled to learn that in the last calendar month prices for detached homes has risen dramatically.

We are seeing record high sale prices once again in almost every neighbourhood in New Westminster. The true spring market starts this week! It’s over a month late due to terrible weather and a spring election causing a serious stall to what is usually a buoyant spring market.

Pent up buying as a result of the new foreign buyer tax in July caused a lot of fence sitting by buyers waiting to see where prices were heading. Get ready, there are going to be a lot of broken ankles as buyers leap off the fence and into the moving market! The housing market is swinging back with early steep gains. The $2,000,000.00 mark is no longer a glass ceiling for detached properties in New Westminster.

We are seeing listings and sales breaking through this price for the first time ever in this city. This pent-up buying will push deep into August this year due to the delayed start of the spring market. I am so confident of this, I have planned my vacation in September instead of July this year.

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

Has the strata market peaked?

The strata market will continue to rise in value due to the continued unaffordable detached housing DERRICK THORNHILL market.

I was concerned that the Park Georgia Realty strata market had run its course and would stall if the detached market did not bump in value this spring. It looks like condominiums and townhouses will continue to be a smart purchase for younger home buyers and downsizers alike. If you are curious about how this new market has affected your home’s value, don’t hesitate to contact me to perform a complimentary market evaluation of your home.

ASK AN OPTOMETRIST

Q A

My child is nearsighted and her prescription keeps increasing, can anything be done?

Yes! Controlling the progression of myopia (nearsightedness) is important for long-term eye health, as high myopia increases the risk for retinal detachments, DR. LISEANN HEAD cataracts, and glaucoma. Fortunately, recent research is showing positive results from treatment to control the progression of myopic prescriptions. These treatments involve specialty glasses lenses, specialty contact lenses, or an eye drop inserted each night.

The first step is a full eye exam for your child to determine their prescription, eye coordination, eye focusing, and eye health.

This will help the optometrist determine which treatment(s) are best for your child. Frequent follow-up is necessary to monitor the success of the treatment and treatment will likely need to continue into your child’s teenage years. See your Doctor of Optometry for more information!

ASK A SLEEP EXPERT

Q A

What are some common sleep apnea symptoms in women?

Women often report symptoms such as daytime fatigue, insomnia, lack of energy, morningheadaches, frequent awakenings and mood disturbances. These symptoms are not specific to sleep apnea, so women can be misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression. A bed partner may hear snoring, pauses in breathing, or gasping during sleep. Women that are post-menopausal have a 3 times increased risk of having sleep apnea compared to premenopausal women. If you have been experiencing those symptoms, talk to your physician and complete the CanSleep online Sleep Evaluation to rule out sleep apnea.

529 GARAGE BBQ

WHAT’S HAPPENING? Community-based bike registration organization 529 Garage will be at New Westminster City Hall from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to educate folks on the benefits of registering their bikes.

IS THAT IT? Did we mention the New Westminster Police Department will be barbecuing? It’s all part of the launch, so get there early, sign up your ride and grab something to eat.

WHAT’S 529 GARAGE? 529 Garage is a webbased application where you can register all your bike’s info, including serial number, make, model and any defining features it might have.

The purpose is to cre-

ate an online databank to help people recover their bikes in the event of a theft. In Vancouver alone, five to six bikes are reported stolen every day, according to police.

In New Westminster’s Quayside neighbourhood, there was a spate of bicycle thefts in the days leading up to Family Day in February, including two alone on Feb. 11.

Registering your bike – including a serial number – can improve the chance of police finding and recovering your bicycle if it’s ever stolen, according to police.

ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? Stop by city hall on Sunday, May 28 and register your bike. You can bring your bike or record its serial number, make,

model and a brief description and bring that to the event to complete your 529 Garage profile.

In return, you’ll get a 529 Garage decal to discourage thieves.

WHAT IF I CAN’T MAKE IT SUNDAY? That’s OK. Officers will be registering bikes at Sapperton Days, Queensborough Children’s Festival and the New West Grand Prix, plus they’ve planned two more sign-up events: Monday, May 29 from 7 to 9 a.m. at the taxi stand near the B.C. parkway at 22nd Street SkyTrain station; and on Sunday, June 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Moody Park bike path at 600 Eighth St. I’M TOO BUSY TO STOP BY, WHAT NOW? Go to project529.com/ garage and click on ‘Register Your Bike.’ It takes about five minutes.

Community SPOTLIGHT ON:

HERITAGE HOMES WHAT’S HAPPENING? The popular New Westminster Heritage Homes Tour returns for its 38th year on Sunday, May 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society hosts the tour, which features 11 private homes (as well as Irving House).

WHAT’S INCLUDED ON THIS YEAR’S TOUR? This year’s lineup includes homes in the Queen’s Park, Moody Park, Glenbrook, Sapperton and Victory Heights neighbourhoods.

“We try to feature as many neighbourhoods as possible,” said Catherine Hutson of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society. “We have houses that speak to seven decades of heritage architecture or built heritage, but each house seems to have its own fascinating back story.”

Whether you like Edwardian, Georgian Revival, English Arts and Crafts or mid-century modern homes, you’ll find something to your liking on the tour. In Victory Heights, you’ll see a 1950s home that’s had a second-floor addition and a 1940s wartime bungalow that’s “whimsical and quirky” inside. You’ll visit a 1962 midcentury modern stunner

that’s had a “gentle” addition in Sapperton.

One of the homes in the Queen’s Park neighbourhood has been on the tour before but features a new look.

“In the ’80s and ’90s, hunter green and dark burgundy were very fashionable,” Hutson said.

“Now we have a much younger couple, who bought it, gutted the kitchen – it has this lightness. It sort of represents this generation’s idea of living in an older house. It’s like a new house.”

WHAT IF I DON’T LIVE IN A HERITAGE HOME? Even if you don’t live in a heritage home, you’ll get loads of décor ideas as you view restored or renovated

homes and lovely gardens.

HOW POPULAR IS THIS EVENT? “It’s an economic driver.

We have sold 30,000 tickets, at least, since 1980. The first few years were slow,” said Hutson, who moved to New Westminster in 1989 after attending the 1988 tour. “It has turned into an event where people from all over the Lower Mainland come to New Westminster once a year.”

We’re Here To Help

TICKET INFO, PLEASE: Tickets are $35 or $30 for members of the New Westminster Heritage Preservation Society. You can buy them online at www. newwestheritage.org or pop into Royal City Colours (700 12th St.); Champagne Taste (1101 Royal Ave.); New Westminster Museum and Archives/Anvil Centre (777 Columbia St.); and Gardenworks Mandeville (4746 Marine Dr., Burnaby).

Students at Lord Kelvin Elementary School have a cozy place to sit and read thanks to an anonymous donation to the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

The United Way has partnered with the New Westminster school district to create two reading oases at Lord Kelvin – one at the school and one in the Kelvin community hub building.The spaces feature comfortable furniture, painted

walls with palm trees and blue skies and a new collection of 600 new books,

The United Way reading oasis is a quiet, calm space…

including fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels, First Nations stories and locally published books.

The reading oases, which opened last month, cost US$10,000 to outfit.

“The United Way reading oasis is a quiet, calm space that will give children a chance to develop their literacy and strengthen their educational potential,” said school district superintendent Pat Duncan in a press release.

The donation was part of the United Way’s community schools partnerships, which benefit schools across the Lower Mainland.

The DUC’s days are done.

The DUC shuttle service, which shuttled residents between uptown and the Quay, is taking its last spin around the Royal City on Sunday, May 28.

“The DUC Shuttle was a one-year pilot program initiated by River Market, based on suggestions from New Westminster residents and

visitors. It was a trial to see how we might improve access to the waterfront and to overcome the steep hill between uptown and downtown,” River Market said a statement to the Record.

“However, to keep this free shuttle service running for the long term requires more funding and expertise than we have at this time.”

The City of New Westminster, Bosa Properties, Westminster Savings Credit Union and River Market funded and supported the DUC shuttle pilot program.

Bye-bye, bus service: The DUC shuttle service, which ran as a one-year pilot project, is now coming to an end. PHOTO RECORD FILES

OUR PAST

Guess how much a city fire hall cost in 1892 Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Frequently we check accounts of specific years relative to the year in question to see if there might be an interesting anniversary or two.With links to 2017, let’s have a look at a selection of events that are part of the history of New Westminster.

In 1892 – 125 years ago – a new hand-operated fire engine was to be stationed in the Sapperton area of New Westminster and a new fire hall was to be built there at the cost of $1,000.We know the hall was completed because later that year, plans were being made to put a stove in the facility.

Moody Park was to be seeded to cover the entire area with grass and a portion of the park was to be prepared for a cricket club.

In 1917 – 100 years ago – a reminder of the past was disappearing, while a cou-

ple of newspaper items noted that things were becoming more modern. As for the past, the provincial jail that had played a major role in the city since the mid-1880s was closing down.This is the building that was later became the T.J.Trapp Technical School.

Also 100 years ago, the B.C. Electric Company (BCE) was planning a display in the city to show the use of electric current for uses other than light.To demonstrate how electricity could be used for cooking, the BCE was to supply several cookers and stoves.

There was an election held that year and the Vancouver Daily Sun was planning to project election result bulletins from an office via a motion picture machine to a screen above a nearby jewelry store.

In 1942 – 75 years ago – a large, important business was about to be built on

Lulu Island in Queensborough.This was to be a Canadian Pacific Airways plant that would service many airplane necessities with facilities including hanger buildings, ramps to allow access from the water, and many other operations. Many items connected to this also benefited the general community.

Looking back to 1967, which was 50 years ago, we are able to find a number of things taking place in the Royal City. In earlier columns, we pointed out the special opening ceremonies and official function of the provincial legislature, held in Queen’s Park Arena. Later in the year a new floor and refrigeration unit were in the planning stages for that same arena.

This is just a small selection of anniversary dates looking back from 2017.

rity G

Tou r n a me nt The Royal City Rotary Club and the Rotary Club of New Westminster invite you to participate in the 22nd Annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament on July 11th at Mayfair Lakes Golf Club. Over the past 21 years, this event has raised over $456,000 for local charities. Over $33,000 was raised from last year’s tournament alone. Some of the beneficiaries in our community in the past have included Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, Queen’s Park Healthcare Foundation, St Mary’s Health Foundation, Tim Hortons Children’s Foundation, West Coast Kids’ Charity and Pathfinder Youth Centre Society, among others. The Rotary Clubs’ principal focus has been on funding programs for youth in New Westminster, and we will continue to promote them. Again this year, the two local Rotary Clubs will also donate a portion of the net proceeds to Salvation Army (New Westminster) and the Lower Mainland Purpose Society (an alternate education facility) to further their valuable work with youth facing their own challenges in the community. We believe we need to invest in our youth, since they are our future. Past tournaments have been sold out.

We hope to repeat hat success this year.

We invite you to participate in the tournament as a sponsor, donor or golfer...or, ideally, all three and join us in a day of golf and camaraderie and support our work in your community at the same time. Golf registration is just $175 for green fees, golf cart and banquet dinner. There will be a silent and live auction of great items. See our website at www.rotarypotofgoldgolf.com for more information and forms.

If you have any questions, please contact Rick Molstad at 604.831.1821 or molstad.rick@gmail.com and we would be pleased to answer your enquiries.

Coquitlam hands New West first loss

Measuring themselves against last year’s Minto Cup national champions, the New Westminster junior Salmonbellies now can gauge what ground they have to gain to catch up.

We’re talking inches, not feet.

New West pushed the Coquitlam Adanacs to the final minute before falling 9-7 in a B.C. ju-

nior A lacrosse matchup at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday.

While they never led, New West played even with the Adanacs through 20 minutes.

Coquitlam led 7-3 entering the third, where the ’Bellies rallied to make it a one-goal game.

Charlie Kurtenbach scored with 44 seconds

left and the ’Bellies netminder on the bench to make it 8-7, but Coquitlam doused the comeback hopes with a goal with 20 seconds to play.

Connor Robinson tallied twice and set up three others, while Colton Bykowsky also scored a pair. Erik Kratz made 41 saves.

New West hosts Burnaby on May 30.

Middleton shares top junior curling prize

Royal City curler gets second straight co-junior male award after jr. national victory Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal City Curling Club’s Sterling Middleton has been there before.

Curling has taken him to a lot of new places and experiences.

So to have Curl B.C. name him and skip Tyler Tardi as the joint 2017 Junior Male Athletes of the Year, along with their team being voted Team of theYear, is just icing on the cake.

“It’s real cool to get the recognition for Tyler and myself and the team,” Middleton said. “It’s

for what we have done, but it reaffirms not just the success but also what we’ve done beyond that, the practices, eating well, and everything.”

The Tardi rink – which includes second Jordan Tardi and lead Nicholas Meister – became the first B.C. men’s team to capture the Canadian junior men’s title since 2000, and competed at the 2017 World junior championships in South Korea. At the worlds, the foursome was bounced from the medal round in a tiebreaker with Norway.

Middleton said the national title

was a special accomplishment.

“I guess the highlight for me was competing and winning the Canadian championship,” he said.

“Our goal each year is to get there and do well, so to achieve it, and play well for a whole week, was special.”

They defeated Team Ontario 9-7 in the final for the national title.

He and Tardi later joined up with second Derek Chandler and lead Scott Gray to finish third at the first-ever Canadian under-18 curling championships last month in Moncton, NB.

Middleton, the third and viceskip on the team, has just wrapped up his first year of studies at Douglas College in New Westminster.The squad calls Cloverdale and Royal City curling rinks as their home ice.Tardi is from Cloverdale, and it is the fortuitousness of their pairing three years ago at the Canada Games that set their path together.

“We did really well together and fit well, and we’ve played together for a couple of seasons now,” said Middleton, 18. “It’s great to be able to fit so well and work so well as a group.”

In what is billed as the fastest game on two feet, being faster than your opponent is not only an asset, but a necessity.

For the New Westminster Salmonbellies, who embark on a new Western Lacrosse Association season tonight (Thursday, 7 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena) against the Nanaimo Timbermen, speed will definitely be in the spotlight.

The lineup constructed by New West general manager Dan Richardson and head coach Steve Goodwin is built for speed – both as a weapon and an advantage.

But without timing and team chemistry, all the speed in the world is as useful as a fidget spinner. Fortunately, while there are 11 newcomers, there is cohesion and leadership aplenty.

“We made 11 changes to our roster and feel we’ve gotten quicker and stronger, on the rightside and on defence primarily,” remarked Goodwin of his team.

“I’m a transition guy, so I want our guys to get on and off the floor quickly.”

Richardson notes that while the season will begin without three major contributors – Mike Messenger and 2016 Defensive Player of theYear Brett Mydske, both members of the National Lacrosse League’s Saskatchewan Rush, and Kevin Crowley – those in town are already establishing a strong camaraderie.

“The way the (WLA) season goes, you get to know everybody pretty quickly,” said Richardson.

“It’s pretty much two games a week and, before you know it, the playoffs are here.”

Last year’s performance was one of three chapters – a slow start, a 14-game unbeaten streak, and a quiet, 4-1 exit in the playoffs to eventual B.C. champ Maple Ridge.What was absorbed in the semifinal playoff loss is going to serve them well, said team captain Curtis Hodgson.

“We had a really nice stretch run there, but honestly we learned an important lesson (in the playoffs),” said Hodgson. “We want to make Queen’s Park a difficult place for people to play.”

Rovers collect first win

Zach Verhoven put one in for the record books.

The 17-year-old striker slotted home the winner on a breakaway to lift the TSS Rovers to their first win, 2-1 over Calgary Foothills FC in USL-Premier Development League action last week.

His tally, on a set-up which began with

goalie Andrew Hicks and forward Mamadi Camara, came in the 76th minute, after the two teams had battled through a grueling 1-1 draw in the first half.

Daniel Davidson gave the Rovers the lead early in the contest, before Calgary’s Kyle Jones tied it off a penalty kick. Hicks turned aside nine shots on the day.

Continued from page 47 opposition will start in goal with the tandem of Alex Buque and newcomer Tye Belanger.

Both have NLL experience and track records in the WLA, with Belanger a couple of seasons removed from an all-star honour.

“We really like our goaltending and I think they’ll push each other. ...There’s no No. 1 right now, they are both very talented goalies and I think you’ll see them rotate starts for the first while,” said Richardson.

The backend, led by first all-star team players Justin Goodwin and Mydske, Ian Hawksbee, Hodgson and Messenger, remains a formidable force, while Albertan Tory Tremblay is expected to provide valuable depth.

“It’s been said before: defence wins championships,” said Goodwin. “I believe we have the players, on paper, who can get us to (our goal).

It’s our job as coaches to make it work.”

Open House Invitation The Community Living Housing Society (CLHS) and Catalyst Community Developments Society (Catalyst) would like to invite you to an open house on June 14th, 2017 to discuss a rezoning application that has been submitted for 43 Hastings Street.

Most of the lineup changes have come upfront, where returnees Logan Schuss and Mitch Jones welcome the additions of Joel McCready, Zach Herreweyers, Nathan Stewart and Albertans Sean Tyrell and Austin Jerhoff.

Crowley, who led the NLL’s New England team in goals this past season, will join the ’Bellies by late June.

Those additions, plus a core that is hungry to get to a Mann Cup, are reasons why boxla odds makers are excited.

“I think what’s a huge asset for us is we have a lot of character.That’s going to help us bond as a team,” said Hodgson.

BELLIE NOTES: The club is unveiling its 2017 lineup against the Nanaimo Timbermen Thursday, and in the process providing free admission to the home opener for all New West Minor Lacrosse Association players and their families, coaches and volunteers.
