A permanent, or even a one-year trial, Quayside to Queensborough ferry service would be fully accessible, say City of New Westminster officials, even though the current demonstration service isn’t. The city has been taking a beating on social media from advocates for people with disabilities since it introduced the two-month Q2Q demonstration service because the docks and the ferry can’t handle motorized wheelchairs and scooters. One blogger, identified as G. Peters, called the ferry an “exciting new service designed to exclude, marginalize and discriminate against disabled people.” The writer said any excuses about the tide and temporariness of the service from the city were unacceptable, and wheelchair and scooter users needed to be involved in the process from the start. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said since the city doesn’t own a dock or a ferry, it was limited to what could be found in time to conduct a temporary trial this summer.The docks the city was able to secure were not capable of the extended ramps that would be required to lessen the steepness to accommodate motorized wheelchairs Continued on page 5

A longtime New Westminster police officer has been suspended following his arrest for an alleged sexual assault 12 years ago. Const. Sukhwinder “Vinnie” Dosanjh was arrested by Victoria police on Aug. 1 following an investigation into a historical sexual assault that is alleged to have taken place in 2005, according to acting Victoria Police spokesperson Bowen Osoko. The incident is alleged to have happened while Dosanjh was off duty. How and when the investigation got underway is unknown at this time. “As the matter is currently before the courts, we will not be offering any further comment,” Osoko said. Dosanjh has been charged with sexual assault and has now been suspended from active duty with the New Westminster Police Department.The local police board is expected to meet soon to discuss the conditions of his suspension, including whether or not the suspension will be without pay, according to Continued on page 8

Up Front CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY

Lost treasures found at old rail station Renovation work at the old Keg building reveals a pile of documents dating back more than a century Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

A snippet of personality from the building’s past came to life when workers went into an attic of the historic railway station on Columbia Street. No, paranormal believers, it wasn’t a ghost.What the crew renovating the former Canadian Pacific Railway building discovered was a collection of what appeared to be freight records that were more than a century old.The station is being prepared to be reborn as a Kelly O’Bryan’s restaurant. It had sat empty since The Keg restaurant closed its doors in January 2013. The historic haul was found in an attic on the building’s east side in an area not used by The Keg. It had formerly served as the railway administrative offices. It’s not unusual, said architect Robert Billard, who is overseeing the renovation project, to find newspapers in the walls of old buildings because they were often used as liner in the late 1800s and into the 1900s. “It pretty much hadn’t changed since it was part of the railway station offices. Up in the attic, the contractor found a whole bunch of paper scattered around,” said Billard. “On a couple of shelves there were a bunch of weigh bills, shipment tracking (forms), there were some unused forms typical of what a weigh station back then would be using.” So Billard contacted Oana Capota, curator for the New Westminster Museum and Archives, to pick them up. An initial look revealed the weigh bills appear to be

1912 and 1913 freight records from companies the CPR owned – the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company and the Dominion Express Company. A little research showed CP Navigation was started by John Irving, the son of Captain William Irving, builder of New Westminster’s historic home on Royal Avenue. John sold it to CPR in 1901. Dominion Express appeared to be a courier company that operated from Chilliwack to Metro Vancouver delivering animals and agricultural implements. “It’s so dusty, we actually have to probably clean

them off before we can process them,” said Capota. “It’s kind of neat to see this. Obviously, we still want to look into this. I’m really curious about who everybody is. Some of the names we have here it might be fun to do a bit of detective work one day.” She said the papers were so brittle that when one of them was picked up a corner just fell off. “All of us were pretty careful, but when one of the workers picked it up it almost disintegrated,” said Capota. Billard isn’t new to renovating old buildings. He did quite of few when he worked in Halifax. “I’m always interested to see what you might find. Doing renovations as an ar-

chitect is both rewarding and challenging because you never know what you’re going to find,” said Billard. “Unfortunately, you find a lot of things you don’t want to find in terms of structural problems. But when you find something that really kind of gives the building a personality, gives it some character and certainly some history – and sometimes you find odd things, old photographs and those kind of things – your brain starts to put together little stories. It’s fun.” The station was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1899 with wings added on both sides in 1911.The Keg moved into the building in 1973, but closed in 2013 because of structural issues. However, Billard said The Keg didn’t use the east wing where the documents were found because access to the area was from the outside. “It looked like some people may have worked up there,” said Capota. “It was a real hot, muggy space so I feel sorry if anybody did have to work there back in 1912 and 1913.That could not have been pleasant.” O’Bryan’s has two locations in each of the Kamloops and Kelowna areas as well as Vernon, Nanaimo and Kitsilano (Burrard Street and West Seventh Avenue). According to the chain’s website, O’Bryan’s founder Reg Henry worked at the New West Keg in the early 1970s when he was a student at UBC. No opening date has been set because of the extensive renovation, but Henry told the Record in February the company would be spending a couple million dollars on it.

Every time Billard went past the building following The Keg closure, the New Westminster resident had wished somebody would do something with it. Now he gets to do it. “We’ve taken an awful lot of care to make sure we’re not altering the exterior of the building in any way that is identifiable as part of the

renovation. Certainly on the inside, bringing it all up to today’s standards and making sure it works for the new business, yeah, it’s been an exciting project,” said Billard. Capota is excited for two reasons – to have a new restaurant in town and to see the grand ol’ building being used.

“It’s kind of sad when it sits empty. I had been inside once while The Keg was leasing it, and it just seemed to be lacking in life. So it will be good to see it again. Hopefully, once the people go in there when it’s a restaurant, they can appreciate the history, too.”

City wants to minimize pile driving noise Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster will delve into discussions with developers about pile driving in the fall. Last summer, downtown and Quayside residents

complained about pile driving taking place at two sites in the area. City staff will consult with industry representatives on the new policy and/or bylaw amendments that would restrict the use of diesel-operated pile-driving equipment as a way

of minimizing impacts on neighbours. Carolyn Armanini, a planner with the City of New Westminster, said staff will consult with industry officials in the early fall about various pile driving technologies.

While some technologies may cost more, Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the development industry is seeing its highest profit margins in years and needs to consider the quality of life of neighbours when building high-profit developments.

He said Bosa Development will use a “quieter type of pile driving when it builds its Pier West development at 600 to 720 Quayside Dr. and believes other developers should follow suit. A staff report states the city’s construction noise by-

law regulates the hours that construction noise is permitted, but it doesn’t specify the noise level restrictions or include specific regulations for pile driving activities or vibration construction. “The City of Coquitlam Continued on page 10

CITY-WIDE ROAD MARKING WORK

City contractors will be repainting road markings throughout New Westminster all summer long, weather permitting. This is being done to ensure the safety of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. As some work will occur outside the noise construction bylaw, the contractor has been instructed to keep noise to a minimum near residential areas at night. Crews will be on-site at any given location for approximately 1-2 hours. Thank you for your patience.

DO YOUR PART BY HELPING WATER STREET TREES

Juvenile trees (up to 4 or 6 years old) need adequate water during dry periods in order to survive and develop into health specimens. Lack of water results in underdeveloped trees and weakened trees become vulnerable to pests and diseases.

The New Westminster Police Department has partnered with Project 529 to offer a free community-based bike registration and recovery service. Register your bike with us to significantly improve the chances of stolen bikes being reunited with their owners. Registering your bike with 529 Garage is free and easy – it takes only five minutes!

During the hot and dry summer months, residents are asked for their assistance in watering street trees regularly to help keep them healthy.

Tree Watering Tips

Thursday, August 17, 2017 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm K De K Court entrance to boardwalk

• Water trees during cooler times of the day so the trees will soak up more water. • Give enough water to soak into the roots by watering the base of your tree at least twice per week for 15 minutes, or about 20 litres, each watering. Water slowly to give the water time to soak into the ground and reach the roots. If you rush, the water will ﬂow away from the tree along the ground’s surface. • Maintain a circle around the base of the tree (but not touching the tree trunk) with wood chips, grass clippings or compost to help keep the soil moist and reduce damage by mowers or weed whackers. • Water even if it rains. The small amount of rain we get in the summertime is not enough for our boulevard trees; they still need our help (especially if they are young trees). Please water even during sprinkling restrictions. Tree watering is exempt from sprinkling restrictions or bans, so keep watering your trees all summer long! Tree watering bags Green watering bags can be found on many New Westminster trees. If there is a bag on a tree already near your house please ﬁll it up twice a week. Watering bags are also available for purchase at many local garden centres.

City Ferry is ‘as accessible as possible’

Continued from page 1 and scooters.The ferry would also have to be customized. But if an expected oneyear trial, or even a permanent service, is given the green light, it will have to be accessible to all, said Johnstone. Johnstone pointed out the ramp the city had built for the downtown dock, which is squeezed in between the Samson V and Riverboat Paddlewheeler Tours in a space owned by the Inn at the Quay, is wider than normal, has a railing on both sides and has a grippy surface.The Port Royal dock is part of a water lot, and extending the dock out into the river would have interfered with the working river, said Johnstone. “Part of the reason we’re doing this is to shake down these kind of things. I’d much rather go through the demonstration and find out what these issues are so that when we do go into designing a more permanent solution we have a better understanding of what our

challenges are.This was definitely one of the biggest challenges we hit on with this demonstration,” said Johnstone. Mark Allison, the city’s manager of strategic initiatives and sustainability, said the city is already searching for better dock locations. “Right now, because of the tidal difference on the Fraser River, you can have up to a four-metre difference. So, within the current confines of the dock at the Inn at the Quay, there’s physically no space to have a multiple ramp system that

would go down,” said Allison. “Given that our agreement with the Inn at the Quay is to just run the service to the end of September, it would not be possible to put a fully accessible ramp in there for this season. “We’re thinking that going forward that we would be looking at a location where it would be possible for us to put in a ramp system that would allow us to get the slopes that would accommodate wheelchairs.” Since the trial was for just 20 days and four evenings,

the choice of vessels was limited and the one they found, the MV Hollyburn, requires a step down. “We carefully chose that name (demonstration service) because we knew there were some issues with it.We didn’t want people to think this was the final service,” said Allison, who noted the ferry is accessible for those with walkers, strollers and canes. “We are doing our best to make the ferry as accessible as possible given the constraints that we have.”

Ferry service proves popular Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

Riding the Quayside to Queensborough demonstration ferry is becoming a token experience. After a popular free preview the last weekend of July and a successful first foray into paid fares during the long weekend, city staff were scrambling to buy a new supply of tokens for potential passengers to purchase. Since exact fare is required at the dock ($2 for adults, $1 for seniors and children 6-15) for the short-term service, the city is selling ferry tokens at the Queensborough Community Centre, the Anvil Centre and Tre Galli in River Market. But, by the B.C. Day holiday Monday, they were almost out of the 1,000 tokens the city had ordered prior to the service’s introduction. Mark Allison, the city’s

manager of strategic initiatives and sustainability, said during the MV Hollyburn’s midday runs on the long weekend, potential passengers were left at the dock because it was full to its capacity of 40 people. “It shows it was a very popular service, even though it was the first service that was paid,” said Allison. The city, he said, has already received hundreds of survey responses from ferry users that can be used to determine whether or not bringing back the service on a one-year, expanded trial basis would be merited. “The great majority are very positive about the service, and hopefully extending it,” said Allison. The survey seeks feedback on whether the passengers would use a permanent service and when. It will be up to council to Continued on page 9

Opinion OUR VIEW

Here’s the unpleasant truth about ableism

We have to admit, our first response to hearing the criticism over accessibility issues on the new Q2Q ferry was a big, heavy sigh. Our thought process ran something like this:Why do people have to get so upset about a trial run? After all, the city has already said accessibility will be taken into account should the run become permanent. It’s just not a big deal. Then the outcry started on social media. And we were forced to think again.

We’d like to thank the critics for making us realize what a privileged and, yes, ableist perspective that view represents. It’s pretty easy for us ablebodied folks to say it’s “not a big deal” that wheelchairs can’t make it onto the ferry. But what if we were the ones in wheelchairs? What if we were the ones running up against obstacles – both literal and metaphorical – every single solitary day of our lives in a world that’s designed for the able-bod-

ied? We probably wouldn’t be so quick to shrug off our own exclusion. Think about it.What if this trial ferry run was accessible to everybody but, say, women? If anyone said, “Well, women won’t be allowed to ride on it for this test period, but if it becomes permanent, we’ll let women on,” wouldn’t our reaction be different? Or insert any other marginalized group – LGBTQ people, perhaps, or people of colour. A ferry that accommodated every-

body but them wouldn’t be sailing for very long. Yes, it seems clear that accessibility is challenging on a fast-flowing tidal river (see more in today’s frontpage story). And although you can’t accuse the city of not considering the issue, it’s obvious that accessibility was not made a key priority for the ferry’s trial run. Which rather begs the question: Is this even a fair test of the potential success or failure of the venture? How complicated (read: ex-

pensive) will it be to operate an accessible service? Will it even be possible? And if it’s not possible – well, should that be a dealbreaker? Keeping in mind that this isn’t a private enterprise but a public one, sensitivity to accessibility has to be a key part of the whole endeavour – and it should have been right from the get-go. We think this whole ferry is a great idea, by the way, and we hope it works. But right here, right now,

we want to apologize for overlooking the importance of accessibility.We realize we were guilty of the same kind of thought process that allows men to overlook the importance of gender and white folks to overlook the importance of colour. Memo to selves: If you’re from one of the privileged groups, you don’t get to tell those who have been marginalized that their point of view is invalid.You get to shut up and listen. We’re listening.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

How long can this bromance last? The resiliency and strength of the pact between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party that allows the New Democrats to hold power will likely be tested this fall, and it won’t be over political fundraising. While Green party leader Andrew Weaver was pretty much “teed off” over the recent revelation that Premier John Horgan will hold a $500-a-head “cash for access” event (in this case, a golf tournament) later this month, their personal relationship remains strong. At least, that’s what Weaver tells me. He insists all is well between his party and the ruling NDP, and the dust-up over the golf event aside, there is little reason to think otherwise. But two critical issues are coming into view, and I suspect the Greens aren’t going to like where those issues appear to be headed. The NDP government has sent the first issue – the Site C dam – to the B.C. Utilities Commission for review, but with terms of reference that greatly restrict what the commission can come back with in terms of recommendations. The commission has been instructed to provide “advice” on three options for the dam: proceed, suspend construction, or terminate the project entirely, with full remediation of the site. In coming to any conclusions to provide that advice, however, the commission must be guided by a number of principles and rules, not the least of which is that it must stick to the economics of the

dam (which takes any concerns about the environment, First Nations’ rights or agricultural impact off the table). As well, the commission must use B.C. Hydro’s most recent electrical load forecast as the basis for its advice.The terms of reference clearly state that “grid reliability” is a key objective in weighing the importance of any energy project, and about the only reliable form of energy in this province is hydro-electric power. Add it all up and it looks like the deck is clearly stacked for the commission to advise the dam should be completed. Then we come to the second issue that may strain the NDP/Green relationship: the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. Officially, the NDP oppose the pipeline, but the government’s language has noticeably softened, and Attorney-General David Eby says a legal analysis concludes the government cannot legally stop or delay the many permits the pipeline will require, thus removing what many thought was the government’s only weapon from its arsenal. Horgan says he’s still studying options, but it’s far from clear that he has any more to stop the pipeline. And soWeaver may find himself propping up a government that could fail him on two key Green priorities. If so, we’ll see if the bromance between him and the premier remains as strong as it appears to be today. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

They robbed the wrong guy Motorists looked on in horror in June as a car sped towards the Queensborough Bridge with a man clinging to its hood.The brown Mazda slammed into cement road barriers twice to dislodge him, and he eventually fell off just before the vehicle drove onto the bridge deck. The man told police the two men in the car had robbed him, so he had jumped onto the car’s hood to stop them. He had clung to the hood from the 300 block of McGillvary Place, up Howe Street and onto Highway 91. The man sustained a number of non-life-threatening injuries, some of which might have been sustained trying to punch the driver through the windshield, police said.

Tone down the misandry and act like a grown-up

Stairway to nowhere another waste of money

Dear Editor: Re: Here’s why we’ll miss Christy Clark, Our View, New Westminster Record, Aug. 2. What a racist and misandrist opinion you have printed! For a community paper you sure like to attack and divide it! Can we tone down the hate speech and have a civil opinion? You lost your own credibility when you started attacking a specific group. As per usual, you also miss the point of what equality means or what it is that makes and reflects a democracy. Equality is when one is not judged on their sex but on their action and worth as an individual. For that matter, it should make no difference what their skin colour is either! As soon as you start attaching ethnicity or gender you have failed to achieve the goals of equality or diversity – and your juvenile and ill informed “view.” If you wish to perpetuate hate and incite a racist and gender-based argument, go back to another century – because, honestly, you are no better, worse probably, than any other racist or misogynistic organization. I am a white middle-aged male, and I do appreciate and understand symbolism – you may be unable to recognize this because of your apparent racist and blinded “views.” Nevertheless, being middle-aged, not young, although I do not subscribe to your ageist belief system either, I realize politics will attract individuals who are interested in serving their community. Any artificial influence, pushing gender and race as qualifications, defeats what good government is meant to be. I am not, nor should anyone be, focused on colour or gender when looking at election candidates; you won’t find a good leader that way. Looking at the individual inside, their experience, their education, will better serve us in finding the best people. I sincerely hope that you are able to reach a maturity level that will make you a better person, but in the meantime, please take a nap and let the adults lead the world. So sad that 12-year-olds are now running the newspaper! Craig Thompson, New Westminster

Dear Editor: Re: Climbing the stairway to … nowhere?, New Westminster Record, July 27. Isn’t it refreshing to read the pragmatic opinions of Mr. Puchmayr and Mr. Sarraf with regards to the $200,000 stairs. I respect Mr. Sarraf and his opinion, but this is not a work of art we are looking at. I find it hard to accept more wasteful spending of taxpayers’ dollars by those in charge. Our city engineer, Mr. Lowrie, is telling us it can be moved and incorporated with the parking structure; but at what cost? We may as well move it to the new Quayside park and build a zip line to Queensborough. Problem solved; the stairway to nowhere connecting with the Q2Q. Ken Basso, New Westminster

Rec facilities need to keep up with growth Dear Editor: Re: Pool or arena? It’s simple – we need them both, Inbox, the Record, Aug. 3. In reading Mr. Fontaine’s plea and sound reason for some action on the required use of improved and new athletic facilities, he has hit a nail on the head. While other communities grow and prosper with families and youth, New Westminster council seems to be hesitant to engage in any form of action to begin the process. While our facilities (Queen’s Park, Moody Park, Canada Games Pool, etc.) are thankfully kept in great working order, we need to look forward to the next 25 years as New Westminster city council did 40 years ago. Pier Park, Queen’s Park East Field and Sapperton Park are examples of what great things the city can do for the benefit of our community. It is time for our city council and residents to get realistic and serious before the young people of New Westminster (and their families) have been left behind and will wish they lived somewhere else. Chris Nielsen, Sapperton

Ferry service is a win for Queensborough Dear Editor: I just wanted to send in a letter of support for the new Q2Q ferry service between Port Royal and the New West waterfront. The ride is quick, the crew was great, and the convenience of easier access to Quayside can’t be stressed enough. Best of all, it really makes a Queensborough resident feel like they’re part of the city. I and many of my neighbors are hoping the service can be extended beyond September, and if weekday service is added, I and many others will use it to commute rather than clogging up the Queensborough Bridge.

Sapperton Park has overlooked big kids Dear Editor: I’ve lived in New West for over 24 years, Sapperton for 14 and agree Sapperton Park needed an update. (I’m glad the huge tires were removed; I’ve seen little feet get jammed in between the tires and difficult to get out). The new green space is very nice. More picnic tables would make it more conducive for families to have picnics there. I spent a lot of time there with my little granddaughter, and she loved the water features – it’s a shame they removed so many only to add fewer/smaller features. The new structure is indeed, impressive and great for kids. My big complaint is the lack of swings – two for babies and two for older children. How ridiculous is that? The park had more last year, closer to the washrooms, and they should have been left there. It seems to me that this park, as well as Moody Park, is designed explicitly for little ones. Parks are for everyone: families with little ones, toddlers, children four and up and, yes, older people. Neither of these parks recognize the largest age group, the four-plus (my granddaughter is almost seven and misses swings for her age group). Her school is close to Moody Park, and yet she won’t go there anymore. There may have been “consultation” with children from McBride elementary, but that seems infantile/naive to rely on their input for a $650,000 taxpayer-funded upgrade. Janet Nault, New Westminster

This is the second time I have had the opportunity of working with Sandy and Lyle in the sale of property. And as with my previous experience, they did not disappoint. Sandy and Lyle are extremely professional, yet friendly and very personable. They are definitely in tune to what’s happening in today’s real estate market and were able to provide me with a very thorough CMA. After some de-cluttering, cleaning, and a bit of staging, my condo was listed, an open house took place over a weekend, and the next day we were dealing with three offers ... all over asking price! If you are looking for a dedicated and honest team, I would highly recommend their amazing service. Any questions or concerns I had were always promptly answered. Their expertise and enthusiasm definitely helped this rather emotional process go that much smoother. And as I am moving out of the lower mainland, I sadly won’t be able to have them help me look for my next home ... too bad as I know they would do an incredible job! Thank you so much once again Sandy and Lyle.

“I came across Bryn’s site looking at online listing.

“We’ve worked with Bryn for 4 transactions, she’s an expert negotiator who is always willing to put in the additional effort to achieve optimal prices, even if there is no benefit to herself. As a seller, I don’t think we could have had a more perfect result, with a brilliant marketing campaign and savvy price-point resulting in multiple offers and sale price $82,000 over asking. As buyers, Bryn has secured all three properties that we’ve bid on, even with aggressive competition. She is a wonderful, honest person who has more integrity than any other Realtor I’ve ever worked with.” L & A.

She asked me if I wanted help and being a first time home buyer and overwhelmed I took her up on her offer. Within a week of having her as our agent we were the proud owners of our first condo in a very competitive market. She was helpful in both being available to answer all of my questions and visiting places. She had great insights on what tactic we should use to ensure we secure our condo with multiple offers. She was really knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and if we ever decide to move she will the first person we contact.” ~ Maria & Luis

‘Terminal Flats’ makes its crawl debut Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The Super Fun Art Show is just one of 37 destinations to check out this weekend, all part of the New West Cultural Crawl, but according to organizer Ted Munz, it’s definitely not one to miss. “This is going to be super fun,” Munz told the Record. “There’s going to be music, an outdoor patio, drinks, food provided by Queen’s Meat and Deli, (and) there’ll be interactive art for people to try out.” Munz and FAT Paint Co. coowner Bradford Lambert were introduced through a mutual friend who was looking for a space to showcase some of Munz’s ceramic and tile mosaics. Lambert, being an artist himself, jumped on board, and a plan was made to take part in the 2017 Cultural Crawl. (FAT Paint Co. participated in the crawl when it was located on Front Street.) “So we said, ‘Why don’t we pull together some sort of group show?’” Lambert said. The art show runs both Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m.

to 9 p.m. and will feature work by more than 10 artists, including three FAT Paint Co. staffers – Lambert, Kelsie Kunz and Rob Thomson. Lambert, who by trade is an animator, kind of stumbled into his new passion – painting – thanks to day-to-day work at the FAT Paint workshop. “Since we’ve been manufacturing paint, paint has really interested me, and I’ve been able to sort of find new expressions in the ‘serendripitous,’” he said. “Just a random motion of dripping and paint, creates this mess that I’ve been able to push around and find imagery in it – and I guess that’s where it becomes expressionist, abstract.” In addition to a few pieces by Lambert, folks can expect to see a diverse variety of artwork, Munz said, everything from painting and photography to welded metal work and mosaic pieces. “A lot of the artists, it’s their first time, so I want to expose them to this (world),” he said. There will also be entertainment, including live painting, interactive art and face painting for the kids, food, libations pro-

vided by Steel & Oak and prizes donated by Lafflines (one of Munz’s other passions is comedy). FAT Paint Co. is located at 140-131 11th St. (corner of Auckland and 11th streets) in what Lambert hopes becomes New West’s next place to be for all things artsy. “We call it the Terminal Flats,” Lambert said. “We want to promote the neighbourhood as being the future artisan neighbourhood. I would love to put it on the map.”

Art life: Clockwise from top left, Frankenstein, a mosaic by Ted Munz; FAT Drips by Bradford Lambert; and Munz’s Hunter S. Thompson mosaic. See more work by Munz and many other artists at the Super Fun Art Show at FAT Paint Co. this weekend, part of the Cultural Crawl.

Cultural Crawl 2017 is set to be the biggest yet Cayley Dobie

The New West Cultural Crawl is back for its 14th year, and this time, organizers are promising an event that’s bigger and better than ever before. Every year, New Westminster’s arts and culture community opens its doors to the public, inviting guests to tour artists’ studios, check out new pieces and take part in interactive

activities.The intention is to celebrate the city’s creativity and cultural diversity. The annual event, organized in partnership by the Arts Council of New West and Van Dop Gallery, kicks off Friday night with an opening night to remember, according to cultural crawl coordinator Howard Dai. “I would encourage everyone to come out to the opening night event so they can kind of get a taste of the crawl,” he said. “We have so

Crawl continues to grow Continued from page 11 Jim Walsh, J.G. Freedman and Lanta Mang. Fine art and culture may be the main focus of the two-day festival, this year there are also a few stops dedicated to the world of culinary artwork. Blenz Coffee uptown is bringing in professional baristas to do demonstrations of latte art and both Old Crow Coffee Co. downtown and Match Eatery in Queensborough are participating in the event, too. Also new this year is the addition of Royal City Centre to the list of venues. Dai said thanks to the success of the Royal City Wrestling event during Uptown Live,

the mall was keen to take part in another community event. “All the businesses in there are quite excited because they had quite a bit of traction, quite a big crowd from the wrestling event,” Dai said. And that’s the point of the New West Cultural Crawl.What started in 2003 as a small, one-day event with eight venues has grown leaps and bounds over 14 years, and there’s no plans to slow down yet. Dai said this year they’re running a contest throughout the crawl to get more people out and taking part. For a chance to win some sweet prizes, including pass-

es to Feast on the Fraser, all folks have to do is take a photo at a venue during the crawl and include the name of the venue and #NWCulturalCrawl. For more chances to win, post photos from other venues in other neighbourhoods (you’ll get one entry per neighbourhood). For more information, including a list of all the venues participating this year, go to www.newwestcultural crawl.com. There will be brochures available and people to answer questions at an information booth at River Market (hosted by Tourism New West) on Saturday and Sunday.

“I now hear every word that is said in my business meetings.” Confidence boost for businessman Derrick. When a Hearing Specialist told Derrick Highet he had a hearing problem the businessman’s first reaction was actually one of relief. “To be honest he was just telling me what I already knew — and he was offering me a solution,” Derrick explains. “The change was instantaneous,” says Derrick after trying his Miracle-Ear hearing aids for the first time. “I do a lot of dog walking and running and the first time I went for a walk with my dog in the woods behind our house I was just astounded by the sounds I could hear.” Derrick had begun to notice his hearing loss about 18 months before that life-changing moment. “It was a number of issues that brought it to my attention,” he says. “Primarily my wife was complaining about the TV having to be too loud.” His hearing issues were also having an impact on his work and social life. He explains: “If I was in a pub or a business meeting with friends I was asking people to repeat things and consciously turning my head so I had my slightly better ear facing them.” He admits: “Sometimes I was guessing at what they said and just hoping I gave them the right answer.” However once he had acknowledged his hearing problem, he took to the internet to research hearing specialists — and Miracle-Ear, with over 1,400 hearing centres across North America, was one of the first names he found. Derrick was impressed with Miracle-Ear’s professional approach and wide range of hearing aid solutions offered, so he booked an appointment. He says: “Wearing the Miracle-Ear hearing aids has transformed my life. From a business point of view I feel more confident going out on appointments. From

a family point of view being able to watch the TV without it being at a silly volume has really helped. And there’s the added bonus of being able to wear them when I’m out running and being able to listen to music. I really have got my life back.”

Celebrating togetherness at New West Pride By Janaya Fuller-Evans

There is so much possibility when people gather. When like-minded people decide to put their energy behind something, amazing things can be accomplished. They might even put on a popular festival in downtown New Westminster. The theme for this year’s New West Pride Week is Together We Can. It’s a simple message, and one that’s intentionally left up to interpretation, according to Pride co-president Mike Tiney. “For me, personally, it’s together we can promote inclusivity and acceptance within our city. For other board members, it means different things,” he told the Record. “Anybody can read that and add their ending onto it.” Together, the Pride board has expanded

the entertainment offerings at the festival for 2017. This year’s festival will have three stages instead of one. There will be a band stage as in previous years, but there will also be a DJ stage and a spoken word stage, according to Tiney. The festival, which brought in 28,000 people last year, is very different from the muted celebration that started it all in 2010. “It started as a very small festival in Tipperary Park, beside city hall, and it poured with rain, and they had protesters outside that the police had to remove,” Tiney said. “It’s grown immensely in a very short period of time.” While the extra stages and entertainment are welcome additions, he hopes the festival itself stays the size it currently is, as more growth could mean difﬁculty managing it. “We’re all volunteers, we all have full-time jobs,” he says of the Pride board. The eight-member board works well together, he adds, but it isn’t always easy. “Everyone’s got ideas of what they think the festival should look like, or what they think about a

The New Westminster community is one reason the festival works so well – in a city that values connection and cooperation, Pride is a place to ﬁnd that, Tiney explains. “New West has a very close-knit sense of community, and every group wants to support the next group,” he says, adding the Down-

Meet the Pride board

New West Pride Week has grown by leaps and bounds since its early days, and a festival of this size requires a lot of planning. The volunteer Pride board of directors handles all the organization and decision-making for the festival. This year’s board members would like to introduce themselves to the community.

Michael Tiney – co-president

I am a New West resident of eight years, with my partner Chris and our 16-month-old son Spencer. This is my third year on the Pride board and fourth year volunteering with the society. I am so excited to see how we have grown not only as a society, but as a community. This year’s theme is Together We Can... The three dots are representative of whatever it means to you. Together we can do anything!

I started by volunteering for Pride and thought there was so much potential for the festival to grow and celebrate the diversity in our community, so I joined the board. This is my fourth year on the board, and I’m really excited about how we’ve grown and will have more entertainment than we’ve ever had before. The addition of a spoken word stage is particularly exciting.

West Pride festival as a stage manager. I jumped at the opportunity and had an amazing day with amazing people. I was hooked, and in 2016, became part of the production team with Mike Tiney, and then in 2017, a board member. Being on the board provides me with an opportunity to work alongside a diverse set of committed individuals to continue to promote inclusivity within the community.

Keith Fryer – secretary

Kurt Knoblick – director

I have been part of the LGBTQ+ community in Vancouver since the early ’80s. I joined the board of New West Pride in January 2013. When I joined the board, my two main goals were to see New West Pride grow, and to see more social activities for the LGBTQ+ community. Now New West has more options for the LGBTQ+ community from the straight/gay group at Century House, to the third Saturday meet-up at the Met Pub, to many other group events throughout the city.

This is my ﬁrst year on the New Westminster Pride Society board as a director. I’ve been in a relationship for over 10 years with my partner, Drew Ferrari. Our family consists of us and our ﬁve-year-old granddaughter, whom we adopted. I decided to join the board on the invitation of Michael Tiney and his partner Chris, as I felt I could contribute to the community in a meaningful way with our experience at being adoptive parents and having a long-standing relationship with the New Westminster community.

joined the board because I want to support my local LGBTQ community. I also want to establish a safe and accepting neighbourhood. I am looking forward to celebrating acceptance and love with strangers and friends alike.

Ryan Layﬁeld – director

I am a ﬁrst-year board member with New West Pride. I joined because I wanted to be a part of something positive and inclusive of all walks of life. I am originally from Ontario, enjoy the West Coast immensely, and have an old dog named Lebowski whom I rescued a few years ago. Since joining the board, I have been fortunate to meet many inspiring people whom I now consider friends. I look forward to playing a larger role in the years to come.

Jason York – director

I’m a ﬁre protection technician, common-law partner for over nine years, no kids, no pets. I joined the society to make it more vibrant, colourful and fun. “Together we can...” I am most looking forward to the photo op with the six air-dancers, having our numerous small approachable stages, and especially the spoken word stage.

Taking Pride in festival volunteers By Janaya Fuller-Evans

Behind every great event is a great many helpful people, and New West Pride Week is no exception. The week-long event takes a lot of organization in advance, and it also takes hard work by everyone during the event. Pride requires about 100 volunteers to run smoothly, with everyone able to pace themselves and take breaks. They usually don’t get 100, but they do get close, according to Pride volunteer coordinator Kurt Knoblick. All those volunteers require direction, and the New West Pride Society has found someone to help with that. “This year, we’ve done something a little different. We have hired an event planner,” Knoblick says. The event planner, Heather Sharpe, has produced major events such as the Honda Celebration of Light and New Year’s Eve Vancouver in 2015. She’ll be handling the volunteer training and orientation for Pride this year, according to Knoblick. “She’s the professional. She’ll give them the empowerment to literally call 911 if that’s required,” he says. The society began looking for volunteers in January at the New West Festival of Volunteers, Knoblick says. But the big push started about a month ago. continued on page 19

“Now’s when we get intense; now’s when we get serious about it,” he adds. The Downtown New Westminster BIA has helped out, putting out the call to its members, Knoblick says, and recently, the society put up posters around the city. The ideal volunteer is one who can stay calm, but who is also outgoing and friendly, according to

Knoblick. “You’ve got to be perky and upbeat because you’re dealing with a lot of people,” he says, but adds that volunteers shouldn’t be too upbeat. “We are a family event, so you’ve got to present with a respectable amount of discretion.” The other important part of being a volunteer is simple – show up, he says. “It’s a commitment. If you say you’re going to be there from 2 to

4 p.m., you have to be there from 2 to 4 p.m. It’s like a job, you have to be ready, willing and able to work, because we’re counting on you,” he adds. Those who do make the commitment get to support the community and be a part of a big event in New West, Knoblick says. “We are part of the community,” he adds. “Come out and support

the exact people you’re going to see tomorrow at school, at the grocery store, and that sort of thing.” In addition to hometown pride, volunteers also get a complimentary T-shirt, a different colour each year to represent the rainbow. This year’s is orange. New West Pride copresident Mike Tiney is a big fan of the volunteers who come forward every year. The society throws the

volunteers an appreciation brunch the morning after the festival, he says, and board members try to make them feel appreciated. “Without the volunteers we would be sunk. There’s no way that the eight board members could pull off setting up and running the festival, and cleaning it all up,” he says. “Without them, we wouldn’t have a festival.”

with Véronique Boulanger, New West Pride volunteer

Volunteers are the lifeblood of New West Pride, a week-long festival run entirely by those willing to give their time to a good cause. The festival, which began in 2010, was initially quite small. But last year, there were 28,000 attendees, and those numbers require great volunteer staff to keep the festival going. One of those very important volunteers is Véronique Boulanger.

ourselves having brunch with Hayley and then-board president Jeremy Perry, talking about the Pride festival that was about to kick off. Previously we had had no real queer connections in New West. Now, we not only wanted to participate, but also to help out.

Q: How long have you been volunteering with New West Pride? A: I have been volunteering with New West Pride since last year.

Q: Do you have a favourite task or assignment with the festival? A: I enjoy being out on festival day interacting with people, as I will be this year, but I especially liked serving on the accessibility committee last year and being part of the accessibility policy that was implemented by New West Pride, a policy that was later adopted by the city.

Q: What drew you to it? A: Two years ago on Twitter I ‘met’ Hayley Sinclair, then New West Pride board secretary, over some matter unrelated to Pride. But before long, my spouse and I found

Q: Why is the festival important to you? A: After several years of feeling apart from the city, New West Pride helped me to reconnect with New West, then to broaden and deepen

the connection. Pride and the community of people who create it are a big part of why I feel at home here. Q: Why is it worth it to volunteer? A: If you’re queer in New West, volunteering for Pride is a great way to connect to the queer community and not just to attend the festival, but to be part of it. And as with any volunteering, you can make new contacts and perhaps even discover skills and interests that you didn’t know you had.

Those values are the reason my loving wife Liz, and I, take great pride in raising our two sons, AJ and Bennett, in my home town.

If left untreated, heat stroke can lead to death WENDY J SCOTT or permanent disability. RN, BScN, MA Senior citizens (aged 65 years and older) are particularly more vulnerable to hot weather.

Q A

Why should I de-clutter my home?

If you have decided to sell your home, de-cluttering helps to sell your home faster and for top dollar. It could also help you claim your own personal freedom. The CORINA STAINSBY longer you have lived in your home, the more challenging this process could be. Many people are held captive by their belongings and things they feel compelled to keep. Clearing clutter frees up space and de-personalizes a home to create a blank canvas that allows buyers to better imagine themselves living there. Organized rooms also highlight dimensions, architectural details and views. Buyers may equate clutter with messiness and disrepair. An added bonus of eliminating clutter is that you will be far better prepared to move, especially if you are down sizing. Next week I will discuss how to begin the process.

International education program tops in B.C. Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s international education program is the most outstanding program in the province, according to the B.C. Council for International Education. The local program was recognized last month for what the international education council called a “high quality and highly creative program.” For 30 years, the school district has been guiding students from overseas through the local education system.The key to the program’s success is its focus on providing students with a Canadian experience, both in and out of the classroom, said Karen Klein, director of international education in New Westminster. “They’ve heard a lot about what Canada is and what Canada has to offer,” she said. “They choose this part of the world because they know that Canada has a safe reputation;they know that Vancouver has a safe reputation and also a reputation for a great lifestyle.” Students can enrol in a number of different programs, including long-term and short-term stays, summer or sister-city experiences. Some stay for a semester while others stay for three to

five years, Klein said. “It’s one of the longest running in the country and in that time over 6,000 students from 38 countries have been here,” she added. The program is open to students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.The primary students are required to live with family or friends while the secondary students are placed with host families. To help the transition, international students are usually matched with a buddy as well as a counsellor who leads them through the new

system. For all this, the students from abroad pay upwards of $14,000 per year to attend a New Westminster school. “Having a graduation diploma from a North American school will help their futures,” Klein said of the benefits of an international education. Depending on their English language skills, international students can enrol in any of the courses available to local students (local students are given priority for class selection).They usu-

ally take four regular classes, including math, English and social studies, and then anything else they want. But it’s not just about language learning, Klein said. “It’s about cultural understanding as well, and learning about another culture and being cognizant about what that culture can contribute. I think it just gives people a better understanding of each other,” she said. And this goes both ways, she added. Bringing international

students into the school district benefits local kids, too, by introducing them to other cultures as well as promoting studying abroad. New Westminster residents can get involved by

becoming a host family. For more information on the homestay program, go to newwestschool.com/homestay-program and click on “For Homestay Parents.”

PAINTING FOR PARKINSON’S

WHAT’S HAPPENING? Next week, Robyn Murrell is hosting Painting for Parkinson’s, a free event that “will bring those affected by Parkinson’s disease together with friends, family, neighbours and the community to share a fun, enriching and stimulating experience,” notes a press release. WHY PARKINSON’S? Murrell is an avid volunteer, and she spends much of her time volunteering with people with Parkinson’s disease. She and her sister Heidi Clarkson lead a 12-week walking program for people with Parkinson’s called Step by Step New West, run by the Parkinson Society British Columbia. “Some people with the disease ‘hide’ out at home so we hope to encourage the participants

to feel active and part of the community. Participants will also meet others affected with PD and hopefully make connections and friendships,” reads the release. SO WHAT WILL PARTICIPANTS BE DOING? Why they’ll be painting, of course! With help from artist Iris Mes-Low, participants will reproduce her piece Tulips on a 12 inch-by-12 inch canvas. And they’ll get to take their work home after the event. (Did you know the tulip has been the worldwide symbol of Parkinson’s disease since April 2005?) IS IT ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE? No. Family members, friends, neighbours and significant others are welcome to join. Painting is limited to 40 people –

preferably for those with Parkinson’s – but if there are spots left, others are welcome to take part, according to the release. WHAT ELSE? There will be a light snack provided courtesy of Wayne Corlett, owner of the Tim Hortons at Plaza 88. Murrell also wanted to thank 100 Braid Street Studios for providing the space; Iris Mes-Low Art for creating the tulip painting; Opus Coquitlam for donating the 40 canvases; and Vancouver Foundation, New Westminster Neighbourhood Small Grants and Family Services of Greater Vancouver for the grant. DETAILS, PLEASE. Painting for Parkinson’s is from 12:30 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 15 at 100 Braid St Studios, 200-100 Braid St. The event is completely free (as mentioned above); you just have to register for a spot. Go to tinyurl. com/paintingparkinsons to sign up. – By Cayley Dobie

He wanted to know why and was informed Russ intended to donate it. “You can do that?You can grow out your hair and just give it away?” said an astonished little Will. “Nifty! Well, I want to do that.” So he told his parents, “I don’t want to get my hair cut. I want to grow it out and I want to donate it.” They said, “All right, it’s your hair.You’re the one who has to keep up with it. Now you have to take care of it.” “Yeah, I’ll do that, I’ll do that,” he promised excitedly in a high-pitched voice. “Yeah, I’ll do that,” says a deep-voiced Sandwith sarcastically 12 years later, realizing how naive he was. Four years later, in 2009, when he was 13 and moving on from Glenbrook Middle School to New Westminster Secondary, he got up on stage at a school assembly and finally had it chopped off. His bright red mop top was donated to Angel Hair For Kids and Wigs for Kids B.C. He also raised $800 in the process. Then he began growing it again. It’s still growing. The tentative plan was to cut it again when he finished high school. But during his grad year, in 2014, the B.C.Teachers Federation and the provincial government were at war and there were no classes that June. While all the kids were ecstatic, says Sandwith, all the grad stuff was scrapped, including his planned cutting ceremony. So he kept letting his hair grow. “I didn’t consider (cutting) it very strongly afterward. I knew I was going to donate it eventually; I just wasn’t quite sure when,” says Sandwith. That was until a few weeks ago when his boss, Spud Shack owner Dan Close, asked him, “When are you cutting off your hair?” “I’m not quite sure,” came the apprehensive reply. “Well why don’t we cut it off this summer? I can put

the news out there, and I’ll contact the hairdresser who does my wife’s hair and we can raise some money for it,” said Close. Sandwith, who is known at the Shops at New Westminster Station establishment as “the hairy one,” said, “Yeah, that sounds great.” Close snapped a picture of Sandwith and his lush, long locks and the beard he added to the mix two years ago. Close sent the snapshot off to the hairdresser, Michael Levine, who owns three salons/academies in Greater Vancouver. Levine was eager to cut the hair, but only if he got to chop off Sandwith’s bushy beard, too, although it won’t be donated. Sandwith agreed. So on Aug. 22, it’ll all go. In addition to donating his flowing mane, Sandwich has a goal to raise $5,000 for Wigs for Kids B.C. So far there have been about $500 in contributions.Typically, he said, between eight to 10 donations are required to make one wig at a cost of about $3,000. “As long as somebody has confidence in themselves because of my donation, that’s good enough for me,” says Sandwith, who has made taking care of his tresses part of his daily routine.

“It can be a hassle making sure you brush it every day.You’ve got to shampoo, you’ve got to condition as often as you can just so it stays nice, so it doesn’t get tangled or there are any dead ends. It was more work involved to it than just letting it grow, but it was definitely worth it in the end.” The process of washing, conditioning and patting it down takes 20 to 30 minutes, and up to 90 minutes to dry. “Even with a towel or a blow dryer you don’t get all the way in because the hair is so thick, there’s so many layers to it.” At work, he has to put it up in a bun and tie his beard back. Sandwith wonders if his friends and family will recognize him once his hair and beard have been severed. Heck, he’s not sure if he’ll recognize himself when he looks in a mirror. “My friends told me, ‘You’re going to have phantom hair syndrome where you’re going to feel something on the back of your neck and you’re going to think, ‘Well, it’s my hair,’ ” says Sandwith. But it won’t be. It will be all gone.To a good cause. To donate go to www. tinyurl.com/WillsHairPage. For more onWigs for Kids, see www.wigsforkidsbc.com.

It remains to be seen whether the city’s residents associations will get a helping hand from city hall. Through the residents association forum, representatives from the various neighbourhoods provide the city with input on various issues. The group recently put forward a motion that council consider providing grant funding to residents associations to assist with miscellaneous expenses, such as the cost of hosting meetings. A staff report stated that a regular concern raised at the meetings is about the lack of affordable or free space where the associations can hold their meetings.They suggested the city could consider an annual contribution of between $150 and $200 to each association to

help with these costs. “We work hard to try and assist them in finding facilities, but it is not always possible,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr. “I think that they play a really key role in how communities op-

The few dollars we are talking about, it’s money well spent erate.They are certainly a very important part of our community. I think this is a small token of appreciation for that. I will support some funding for the residents associations.” Coun. Bill Harper said the recommendation was intended to provide some stability to the associations.

“It’s a valid resource,” he said. “For me, the few dollars we are talking about, it’s money well spent.” Some council members, however, expressed concern about having a lack of clarity about the details of the proposal. Instead of defeating the recommendation, council referred it back to staff for more information. Mayor Jonathan Cote said he believes the city has a role in trying to help them because of their contribution to the community. “I think this needs to get fleshed out a little bit more,” he said of the proposal. “It’s a little bit vague in the details as to: does every residents association automatically get this funding, do they have to apply for it, what’s the criteria?”

Non-proﬁts set to join forces Lookout, Mood Disorders Association to amalgamate Two societies already hard at work on improving the lives of citizens have announced they are amalgamating. The Lookout Emergency Aid Society and the Mood Disorders Association of B.C. have finalized approvals to merge the two groups. The Mood Disorders Association will retain its name and brand as a collection of mental health programs of the Lookout Society. “The need for non-profit organizations like the MDABC is expanding, with one in seven Canadians expe-

riencing a mood disorder at some point in their life,” said Shayne Williams, executive director of Lookout, which offers a number of programs in New West. “Merging the MDABC and Lookout Society establishes a large, yet nimble organization that is better able to respond to the growing need and access resources across the province.” Lookout provides housing, shelter and health programs across the Lower Mainland, while the Mood Disorders Association provides treatment and support

of people living with mental illness. “This merger represents a significant step forward in MDABC’s strategy to sustain and grow its mental health programs and help more people across the province,” said Tom Dutta, acting executive director of the Mood Disorders Association of British Columbia. “Our combined organizations have over 70 years of rich history with significant community impact on individuals’ lives. Going forward we are stronger together.” – Theresa McManus

Community Gymnastics, trampoline programs a no-go for now Multi-sport facility that will replace Arenex is expected to be complete within a year Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Gymnastics and trampoline programs once offered at the Queen’s Park Arenex will be suspended until a new interim facility is built. Following the collapse of the Arenex, the city made arrangements with the school district to offer gymnastics and trampoline programs at the small Massey gym at NewWestminster Secondary School.With construction set to begin at the high school this fall, the city has announced the programs will be suspended after the summer session because that gym space will no longer be available. “Despite our best efforts, we have determined that there are no other suitable locations to accommodate our gymnastics and trampoline programs beyond August 2017,” said Steve Kellock, senior manager of recreation services and facilities. “While we are disappointed that we cannot offer these programs in the fall, we are committed to moving forward with the new interim gymnastics and trampoline facility as quickly as possible.”

In June, NewWestminster city council approved the development of a 24,000-square-foot gymnastics and multi-sport facility in Queen’s Park. In addition to providing space for gymnastics and trampoline programs once offered at the Arenex, the “bubble” facility will provide space for other sports programs that had been running out of the Arenex.

There are no other suitable locations … Kellock said the city currently has just under 600 registered participants at the high school for its gymnastics and trampoline programs.The city will continue to offer limited trampoline and gymnastics programs at theVancouver Circus School and will offer the Motoring Munchkins parent-child drop-in at Centennial Community Centre. The bubble facility, similar to the Poirier Forum in Coquitlam, will be on the old reservoir tennis court

that’s located between the former Arenex and Queen’s Park Stadium.The facility is expected to be complete within a year. In related news, demolition of the Arenex is getting underway – more than seven months after the roof collapsed. “We have awarded a contract. It took a while because you have to do a hazardous material assessment so that the demolition contractors know what they are dealing with,” said Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering. “That took a fair bit of time, identifying asbestos, lead and that sort of stuff. Because it is a partially demolished site, you have to take care in doing that.” A recently released engineering report concluded that multiple factors contributed to the collapse of the Arenex roof in December 2016, and one specific cause couldn’t be pinpointed. No further studies will be done to try and determine a specific cause. “I don’t know what circumstances would warrant that, but we don’t think there is a need to do that, nor does our insurer,” Lowrie said.

Organizers cancel Big Yoga Organizers of BigYoga for Big Sisters have cancelled a yogathon previously scheduled for Westminster Pier Park on Aug. 12. The event was supposed to be one of three to be held this summer after a successful inaugural one in Vancouver last year raised $30,000.The first was held in North Vancouver on July 8, and the final one is set for David Lam Park in Vancouver Sept. 9. The goal for the North Van and New West events was to raise $25,000.The one last month brought in just over $18,000. As of Tuesday morning, the Big Sisters website

said the New West total raised was $3,610. Participants were expected to contribute at least $100 to the cause of providing mentors for girls. But Big Sisters has now cancelled the Pier Park yogathon, which was to consist of six consecutive yoga classes. An email from the organization’s public relations firm said Big Sisters heard from many in the New Westminster community expressing their preference to participate in the Vancouver event. Registration for it can be done at bigsisters.bc.ca.

New West was home to many entertainers, artists Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Raymond Burr, born in New Westminster 100 years ago, was a very popular member of the entertainment industry who brought great life and character to his roles, especially that of Perry Mason and Ironside. He had an interest in his home town, returned for visits, took part in presentations and activities locally, and is buried in this city’s Fraser Cemetery. We have no doubt that Burr enjoyed many aspects of arts and culture. He likely knew some of the members of the local arts community either by reputation or in person. People from the New Westminster area who spoke on occasion to Raymond Burr when he was here on a visit, usually comment that he was well versed in local information and in its history. In Fraser Cemetery there rest many folks and their families who actively pursued aspects of arts, culture, music, dance, literature, writing, and so on and some may have known of Burr and he, of them. For instance, the family of Judge F.W. Howay is buried in Fraser, and the judge himself was prolific in his work,

presentations, research, and writing of our history. Francis Herring was an interesting woman. Mixed with all her writings were a number of volumes that linked historical fact with fictional storytelling including Among the People of British Columbia, In the Pathless West, and Nan and Other PioneerWomen of theWest. From the varied world of art, we find photographer Paul Okamura, accomplished in his photographic skills and as an artist, as well as Agnes Hill, an organizer of the Royal City Art and Scientific Society and holder of a diploma and medal from a London exhibition for her water colours of flora of the north Pacific Coast. In music, we can note Josephine Sullivan of very early New Westminster who was highly regarded for her musical performances in churches and elsewhere. Henry Morey brought his skills in music and composition back to this community after a period of European schooling, and Joan “Brownie” Peebles, known in operatic circles for her rich contralto voice, won particular acclaim for her role in Carmen. Poetry has always had a strong presence in this city with early writers like Victor

Raymond Burr actor

Harbord Harbord describing events of the area and John Booth telling of the city he knew well in works honouring May Day, dogwood trees, the Royal City and in a poem set to music in My Home Town. There are of course many more – perhaps Raymond Burr knew some of them. At the New Westminster Historical Society on Wednesday, Aug. 16, a presentation in recognition of the anniversary of Burr’s birth will include discussion of those of arts and culture who are buried in Fraser Cemetery along with Raymond Burr.There are some wonderful people to hear of. The program will start at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the New Westminster Public Library, 716 Sixth Ave.

Burrards keep a step ahead of Salmonbellies

Former NewWest forward delivers key goals as Maple Ridge takes a 2-1 lead in their semifinal series Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Luke Gillespie made his former team wince on Tuesday, scoring three times to lead his Maple Ridge Burrards past the New Westminster Salmonbellies 11-10 in Game 3 of their semifinal series. Gillespie broke a 4-4 tie in the second

period with back-to-back powerplay tallies and gave the Burrards some temporary relief from a battle where momentum was mostly dealt out in one-goal servings. The winning goal, however, didn’t hit the back of the net until late in the third when Ben McIntosh buried his second of the night with 2:13 remaining. Maple Ridge took a 2-1 lead in the West-

ern Lacrosse Association playoff series. Game 4 goes Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena. Although New West never led, during the first 40 minutes they matched the Burrards goal for goal, with Tony Tremblay notching his first of 2017 to tie it at 4-4. Cue Gillespie – a lefthander who New West drafted fourth overall in 2015 and

flipped to Maple Ridge a year later for that draft’s fourth overall pick. His twin strikes, part of a three-goal game, along with McIntosh’s first, gave the home team a 7-4 edge. New West pulled back within a goal in the third, thanks to a three-goal run, but fell short of the equalizer.They made it close with 19 seconds left on Kevin Crowley’s marker with the goalie pulled.

Teen eager to kick for higher learning Adanacs

knock off ’Bellies

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

If there’s a school of hard knocks, Douglas College’s Ashlyn Arnold is ready to enroll in it. The teen taekwondo athlete is well schooled in how to take a punch, strike and scissor kick, and dish them out. Getting to do it on an international stage is, understandably, all the more intense. That’s why the recent high school grad is pumped for this month’s Universiade Summer Games in Taiwan, proudly banging the drums in anticipation. “I’m looking forward to it,” said Arnold of the honour, which came with a strong showing at the Canadian national championships where the then-16-year-old placed second. “It was pretty exciting news, and it’ll be an incredible experience. I just graduated (in June) so I wasn’t sure I was eligible, but I got all my (Douglas College) registration done.” Before even taking a post-secondary course in the college’s sports sciences program, Arnold will be representing the nation and her school in Taipei Aug. 19 to 30. She’ll be among the youngest athletes in competition. Taekwondo has proven to be a passport for the Port Moody native, opening travel routes to various and faraway places.While she competes because she’s passionate about the sport and is determined to push it to the limit, the travel is a nice side benefit. Mexico, South Korea, Austria, Luxembourg and U.S. cities – Arnold finds the sport is mostly the same everywhere, although the different competitors and styles of fighting present intriguing challenges. “I definitely notice a difference between European and North American styles,” she said. “The fighting style is different, there’s a different focus and strategy in their styles. “The challenge is always to adjust, but in every fight you have to adjust, to work your own style to compete against theirs.” At last year’s Pan Am Open, she collected silver in the junior division. As a senior with Team Canada at the Pan Am championships, she made the top eight. Earlier this

year, she placed top-16 at the U.S. Open. One of her favourite moments came in the Canadian national senior final this year, when she squared off against 2016 Olympian Melissa Pagnotta, 28, and finished second. “It was an incredible experience,” she recalled. “I use to train with (Pagnotta) a little, and I always looked up to her. … Even though I thought I wouldn’t be able to beat her, I just made sure I tried my best.” Competing in the -67-kilogram

class, Arnold will enter the Games ranked 107th in the world. A twotime Canadian national team member, she has gained valuable perspective on what that experience means. A student of social media, Arnold has engaged family, friends and followers on the internet to help raise the funds necessary to make the upcoming trip a success. At makeachamp.com/Ashlyn, she began with a modest goal of $2,500 to cover the costs of attending the Universiade Summer Games and received overwhelm-

ing support. Beginning taekwondo as a fouryear-old and competing since the age of seven, Arnold has developed an impressive resume, which includes seven provincial titles. It’s meant lots of sacrifices and enduring her share of pain, but when it comes time to pull on a Team Canada uniform, she doesn’t hesitate. “It’s definitely an honour every time,” she added. “My goal (at the Universiade) is to basically take in every moment and do my best. I’d love to make the podium.”

Getting to the Minto Cup was the New Westminster Salmonbellies main item on their to-do list this season. The ’Bellies demonstrated time and again that they were near-equals to the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League’s powerhouse juggernaut Coquitlam Adanacs – without any hyperbole. By falling 9-6 on Monday in Coquitlam and seeing their season end in a 4-1 championship final series defeat, the result did not add up to the effort and resolve New West displayed all season long. It certainly was a much closer battle than the numbers show. The Adanacs capped their victory with a second straight win on a late goal, this time breaking a 6-6 stalemate with 3:29 left in the third. Nick Jensen buried the ball behind the ’Bellies’ Erik Kratz as part of a three-goal, 40-second outburst, giving the nine-time B.C. champions a comfortable finish to a tough five-game showdown. New West briefly held a 2-1 lead when Nick Chaykowsky deposited a shorthanded tally 5:37 into the second period. It was his second of three on the day, and league-leading 14th of the postseason. But Coquitlam exploded for four straight goals to lead 6-2. While the ’Bellies battled back to tie it – thanks to goals from Connor Robinson, Jeremy Bosher and Chaykowsky – the Adanacs found a way to win and will now head to Ontario as B.C.’s representative, looking to defend their Minto Cup title. Two days earlier, Coquitlam again delivered some timely goals to erase New West’s onegoal lead with 2:52 remaining to win 5-4 at Queen’s Park. Logan Sundown tallied twice, while Robinson counted a goal and three assists. He led all scorers with 33 points over eight games. Picking up the MVP award was Adanacs netminder Christian Del Bianco.
