DEMONSTRATION TONIGHT IN MOODY PARK
New West unites to stand against hate tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster residents are invited to stand together against racism and hate. Jen Ryan, Alice Cavanagh and Babs Kelly are inviting community members to join them at a New West United demonstration
in Moody Park tonight (Thursday, Aug. 17) at 7 p.m. The event is in response to last weekend’s violence in Charlottesville,Virginia, where white nationalists, neo-Nazis and white supremacists gathered for a Unite the Right march and clashed with counter-protesters. One woman died and others were injured af-
ter a vehicle driven by one of the white nationalists plowed into a crowd of people protesting against the Unite the Right march. “We have brainstormed an idea to meet in the middle of Moody Park and have an open mic session to give everybody an opportunity to denounce racism,” Ryan told the Record. “I am becoming

more and more terrified every day that America is headed for an allout civil war and we need to – ‘we’ being regular white middle-class people – step up and do our part and get on the frontlines.” Ryan is hoping a large and diverse crowd will attend Thursday’s action for equality, diversity and community.

Art show proves to be Super Fun
For a first-time event at the New West Cultural Crawl, the Super Fun Art Show was a big success. The two-day show hosted by artist Ted Munz and FAT Paint Co. co-owner Bradford Lambert featured work by more than a dozen artists. “The best part for me was that so many of the artists got exposure,” Munz said. “Everybody was well received,” Lambert said, adding about 16 pieces
sold during the show. The art show was the first of its kind for FAT Paint Co. since moving to its new location on 11th Street. Both Lambert and Munz said its success proves that an event of its kind works for the neighbourhood. “I really want to put it on the map, in the sense that we’re down here in this sort of area that most people in New West have considered like a no man’s land,” Lambert said.

Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
The man accused of killing Last Door Recovery Society employee Jason Collett has been found not criminally responsible by reason of mental defect, according to a judgment by Justice Elliott Myers in B.C. Supreme Court last week. Collett, 38, was a house manager at Nanaimo
House, a transition house in New Westminster, when he was killed by a resident in the early morning hours of Sept. 16, 2014. His body was discovered in his room 14 hours later. Police were called, and an investigation into his death began. It wasn’t until the following day that Steven Rogers was arrested for the killing. Rogers was 25 years old
at the time. He was living at Nanaimo House and was part of the Last Door Recovery program. A binge drug and alcohol user prior to his admittance to Last Door, Rogers had been free of drugs for more than a year when the attack occurred, according to the judgment. On Sept. 15, 2014, Rogers had returned to Nanaimo House after moving
some of his personal items to a new residence – one he was planning to move to that day. He decided to stay at Nanaimo House one more night, according to the judgment. Sometime between midnight and 3 a.m. on Sept. 16, Rogers used a knife and hammer to kill Collett, according to an agreed statement of facts. He would later tell police
he had to do it. “I don’t really know why, I just knew like, I had until 2:26 in the morning to kill. To save his soul and everybody else’s souls like from the beginning of time till the end of time, like. I needed – needed to. It was on me, it was my responsibility,” Rogers told police a few days later. Rogers was arrested on Sept. 17 and charged with
second-degree murder shortly after. He stood trial earlier this year. Three psychiatrists were tasked with interviewing Rogers following the crime to determine his mental state at the time. All agreed that he was in a state of mental psychosis at the time of the killing – an opinion the presiding justice took into consideration when Continued on page 10

DO YOUR PART BY HELPING WATER STREET TREES
During the hot and dry summer months, residents are asked for their assistance in watering street trees regularly to help keep them healthy.
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. Tree Watering Tips • 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 Survey work underway at old Gas Works site Demolition expected to start this coming October Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Demolition of the historic Gas Works building on 12th Street is expected to get underway in October, but survey work is taking place this week. The province’s Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development said survey work was beginning at the site at 231 12th St. on Tuesday, Aug. 15 and is expected to be complete by Friday, Aug. 18. Because the site’s original use was as a coal gasification plant and it was later used as a foundry, paint manufacturing facility and sash and door manufacturing operation, the ministry stated that further investigation is needed to determine the levels of contamination at the site. “The province and the
City of New Westminster are working collaboratively to come up with potential development plans for the site,” said a press release from the ministry. “However, prior to any redevelopment of the property, site remediation is required.” In May, New Westminster city council endorsed the demolition process for the building. A portion of the 1886 building’s roof caved in in March 2016 and it was felt the building couldn’t be saved. A staff report to council stated that the province requested a demolition permit because the building wasn’t structurally sound and people were camping on the site, which was creating some life-safety issues. Concerns were also raised about the safety of first responders if the building were to collapse and they had to search for injured people in the
New West United event on tonight in Moody Park Continued from page 1 bigotry and hate after neoNazi posters were found in the area around Queens Avenue and Sixth Street. Organizers of Thursday’s event have adopted the New West United moniker for the gathering.
We need to prevent it long before it happens
“We need to do that more often, not just when tragedy strikes,” Ryan said of taking a stand against racism. “We need to be ready.” In the days since the protests in Charlottesville, U.S. President Donald Trump has been criticized for comments suggesting “there is blame on both sides” of the violence in Charlottesville and counter-protesters were responsible for some of the violence and not all of the
alt-right group that included neo-Nazis and members of the Ku Klux Klan were bad people. Along with many Americans, former presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush issued a statement stating America “must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism and hatred in all its forms” following the comments made by Trump. “I think it is absolutely something we should be concerned about,” Ryan said of Canadians. “I think Americans have always had a habit of saying that this is something that happens elsewhere or happened in the past. It certainly crept up on them. “We have seen people running for office that don’t seem too opposed to Trump’s views. “I think it is something we need to be aware can happen here, and we need to prevent it long before it happens.”
rubble. The site and the building are owned and managed by the province through the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. The Gas Works building is deemed to have high heritage value, both locally and provincially, because it’s the oldest remaining industrial building in New Westminster and one of only three similar structures in B.C. As part of the demolition application, the city is asking the province to provide substantial documentation of the building before it’s demolished. According to the province, ministry staff are required to submit survey plans, dimensional drawings and photographs of the existing building to the city before the Gas Works building is demolished.
What’s left: Demolition of the 1886 Gas Works building on 12th Street is expected to start in October. Part of the roof collapsed in March 2016, and the province decided it couldn’t be saved. PHOTO RECORD FILES

Opinion OUR VIEW
Here’s why you don’t need Straight Pride
Every year at this time, as Pride celebrations are happening across the country, it seems some wag feels compelled to post a wannabeclever meme on social media about “Straight Pride.” You know, memes of the “Why do they get Gay Pride Parades? We don’t get to have Straight Pride Parades” variety. With New West Pride events in full swing, and the annual Pride street party coming up this Saturday,
it seems a good time to remind people why that whole Straight Pride idea is somewhat misguided. By which we mean: just plain stupid. You don’t need Straight Pride Day because that’s every single damn day of every single week of every single month of every single year. You don’t need Straight Pride Day because you didn’t spend your youth wondering whether it was safe to “come out” as
straight. Even here in our (largely) accepting and inclusive part of the world, it’s still not that easy for many LGBTQ folks. Does anyone else remember what a big deal it was when Burnaby’s Svend Robinson became the first openly gay member of Parliament? Fun fact: He came out in 1988.That’s less than 30 years ago. You don’t need Straight Pride Day because nobody ever tried to stop you from marrying a person of the
opposite gender. Fun fact: Same-sex marriage wasn’t enshrined in Canadian law until 2005 – and that still makes this country a world leader. You don’t need Straight Pride Day because you can’t be jailed or put to death for being straight. Fun fact: If you’re gay, there are somewhere around 75 countries on the planet where having a same-sex relationship is against the law – including 10 where it’s punishable by
death. In fact, even here in progressive Canada, homosexuality wasn’t decriminalized until 1969.That’s less than 50 years ago. So no, you don’t need Straight Pride Day. And if you’re tempted to lip off about the whole thing or post some “clever” meme on social media, we suggest two courses of action. 1. Zip it. Shut up and listen to the stories of your LGBTQ neighbours, friends and colleagues, and
try to comprehend what “Pride” might mean to you and your loved ones if you weren’t sitting in your privileged straight-person’s chair. 2. Pull out your best rainbow attire and get yourself down to the New West Pride street party to show solidarity.While you’re there, take a photo in the rainbow crosswalk to remind yourself what it’s all about. Happy Pride, everyone.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Liberals need to shake things up The B.C. Liberal Party is still trying to pick itself up off the floor in the wake of a bizarre election loss and the unexpected and sudden departure of their leader. Some prominent members of the party tell me they fear the so-called “free enterprise coalition” could very easily break apart if everyone’s not careful. The looming party leadership race could assist in keeping the coalition together, but it could also accelerate its collapse.The contest will no doubt see both liberal and conservative candidates, and the tensions that exist between them will be put on public display. So why doesn’t the party try something different when it comes to choosing its next leader? I’m referring to returning to the days of a “delegated” leadership convention, where delegates from each of the 87 ridings gather for a few days in the same location and fight it out on the convention floor, voting as many ballots as it takes to elect a successor to Christy Clark. As of this column’s writing, the party executive had not chosen the rules that will govern the leadership race and it may well stay with the status quo when it comes to picking a leader. If the executive sticks to the more modern method of using personal PIN numbers that come from mass sign-up of members, the party will lose a chance to reinvigorate itself.The mass sign-up method is wide open to abuse and cheating. In fact, the leadership wins by both Clark and for-
mer NDP leader Adrian Dix were the subject of accusations (largely kept quiet by both parties) that not all was right when it came to sign-ups and PINs. The PIN process lacks drama, energy and, most importantly, transparency. People sit at home, dialing in their choice. No one has to talk to any other party member, and only a handful of party activists actually take the time to gather in one place and try to create some excitement. The sign-up process largely takes place in South Asian temples, a tried-and-true method of getting signatures. But there is little evidence people who sign up during this process remain party members very long or become active in the party. Contrast all those negatives with the electrifying buzz that can come from a delegated convention: hundreds of people (all of them required to show considerable commitment to the party in order to become a delegate in the first place) on the convention floor, with the candidates occupying their own sections in the stands. I have covered several of them – the 1983 win by Brian Mulroney, the 1984 NDP convention that chose Bob Skelly on five ballots, and the huge 1986 Social Credit race won by Bill Vander Zalm – and all were grand events. We’ll see if the B.C. Liberals reach into the past to shape their future, and in so doing perhaps hold their party together. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Super Soaker saves the day A basement fire in the 300 block of Ninth Avenue in June could have been a lot worse if the homeowner’s son hadn’t been armed with a water gun. A halogen torchiere lamp too close to the ceiling sparked a small blaze.The homeowner’s son smelled smoke, ran downstairs and blasted it with a Super Soaker, extinguishing it before the fire department got there. Firefighters made sure the blaze hadn’t spread into the ceiling, and the department warned residents about the dangers of halogen torchiere lights. “If they hadn’t been awake or around to discover (the fire), it probably would have burned down the house,” Capt. Brian Westell said.

Calling for equality isn’t ‘misandry’ Dear Editor: Re: Tone down the misandry and act like a grown-up, Inbox, the Record, Aug. 10. Thank you for posting the letter from Mr. Thompson where he takes exception to your article (on the loss of Christy Clark) that had as its core statement: “The more our leadership looks like the actual population of British Columbia, the closer we get to true representation of the people – you know, that whole thing democracy is supposed to be about.” I have seen a large upswing in the use of words like “misandry” and “feminazi,” and I am truly curious how promoting equal representation for women and minorities and suggesting that not all leaders should be white middle-aged males is remotely “misandristic”? There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding the definition of the word misandry and real confusion regarding promoting equality versus putting down white men. MISANDRY: dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against men (i.e., the male sex). In no way did your article show a dislike or contempt for men, of any age. It simply suggested that having leaders that are all from one demographic doesn’t portray our ideal of democratic values, that it’s good for young women to have a variety of role models and that inclusive representation matters. Promoting inclusion of women and minorities is not hateful or contemptuous of anyone. Thinking that maybe one group shouldn’t be getting to run the show all by themselves doesn’t equate to having a hate-on for those older, Caucasian men. It is sad that there are, as your article did suggest, folks who have a problem recognizing that having 100 per cent of your leaders all coming from one demographic is a problem, who honestly think that our world leadership is dominated by white men over 40 because they’re always the best qualified, that in our whole nation no woman, young person, visible minority or differently abled person could possibly do as good a job as these fellows.

Is a flawed trial better than no trial at all? Dear Editor: I have a question for the people criticizing the accessibility issues during the Q2Q trial run: Would you prefer it had been delayed another year, or two, or perhaps not done at all? It’s a sincere question, from an able-bodied person trying to understand the outrage I’ve seen on this topic. I just finished reading the Aug. 9 “Unpleasant Truth About Ableism” opinion piece. I can appreciate that people are disappointed about the accessibility issues of the Q2Q in its current form. I would be too if in the same situation. Would I be outraged? I can only speculate. And my opinion on how I’d react is irrelevant. I do, however, think it’s fair to say that comparing this to discrimination against women, LGBTQ or other marginalized people is apples to oranges. We’re talking about logistic issues here: not ignorance, not prejudice. The aforementioned article’s question “Is this even a fair test” has merit. I’d argue it’s an
accurate enough test to show whether or not the demand is there. Is it a fair test of the feasibility of long-term, fully accessible operation? Of course not. Shouldn’t the question of demand be answered before investing in resolving the next set of challenges? Regarding the statement that sensitivity to accessibility should have been considered right from the get-go, I think it’s obvious it was. Considered, not resolved. This is important to factor into the critique. I’m thankful that the city has managed to get this operational, albeit flawed. I’m thankful we’ve started the conversation on how to improve it. Now let’s keep the conversation constructive and collaborative and spare everyone the outrage and hyperbole. Devon Cody, New Westminster
Colon Hydrotherapy is a gentle, safe and effective way to eliminate waste and toxins from the body while stimulating the immune system and restoring proper organ function.
Seventh Avenue is unsafe for bicycles Dear Editor: As a person who rides both a bike and drives a vehicle in the city, the new traffic lanes, parking and bike lanes in the 600, 700 block of Seventh Avenue is without a doubt one of the more ridiculous plans I’ve seen in a long time. I think the staff member who designed it drives neither a car nor a bike. On the Facebook site I Grew Up in New Westminster, numerous people have expressed negative criticism and nothing positive. I will not drive on Seventh Avenue on my bike because I feel it is dangerous and would seriously avoid it in my truck. No one knows what to do and now bikers are just going down the middle. I strongly suggest city staff rethink this idea and put it back to how it was as it was much safer. Ted Usher, New Westminster

Thank you for being a kind and caring city Dear Editor: It is so nice to live in New Westminster. One recent Saturday, I had the opportunity to be the recipient of a great amount of care and concern. My husband and I are visually impaired, and we became separated while shopping. After searching for my husband, I returned to the last store I was at and asked the young man behind the counter if he would please call the police for help. The young man at the Golden Coins dollar store quickly helped me call the police. The phone call took a while as the police wanted a clear description of my husband. Needless to say, I was rather rattled, so it took some time. The young man was very patient and very understanding. The Golden Coins store is very fortunate to have such a caring employee. I cannot thank this young gentleman enough for his kindness and patience. I would also like to publicly thank the two police officers for their prompt help in this situation. They found my husband and stayed with both of us until we had both recovered and were able to continue our day. Several people also came to say they were glad to see that we were back together – safe and sound. New Westminster is a caring city. Janet Taylor, New Westminster

Family hoping for appeal Continued from page 3 making his verdict. “The trial in this matter is finally over, but we don’t feel that the loss of Jason’s life was really addressed properly,”Collett’s mother Denise wrote in a statement to the Record. “We were shocked, having been present throughout the fiveweek trial, that the judge came to the conclusion he did.” Denise said she hopes the Crown will find grounds to appeal the decision. “It’s hard to believe that it has been almost three years since we lost our beloved Jason,” she wrote, “but to those of us who loved him, it feels like forever. At times the pain of losing him is unbearable, at other times it is a dull ache, but it’s still there.The pain of knowing what should have been, should be now.

City Something is rotten at the city’s recycling depot Resident wants to know what can be done about ‘black ooze’ that’s leaving a stench at the facility Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A West End resident is concerned about the “black ooze” and stench at the city’s recycling depot. Bill Zander is a big fan of the city’s recycling depot but is concerned about waste that’s been dumped at the facility in the past few months. During a recent visit to the depot, he said there was “a pile of stinking rubbish” mixed with other recyclables that was set to be picked up later in the day. Zander said he spoke to city officials several months ago and was told it was a temporary issue, but the
It’s going to be a serious problem if it isn’t already
“stinking mess” is still being dumped at the depot.While he’s also been told the waste is from the multi-family organic recycling program, he’s seen all sorts of items in the pile. “The fact of the matter is, it’s not organic. If you look at the pile of rubbish that was there, there was everything in it.There was food waste, a hair dryer, running shoes, plastic, you name it,” he said. “There may even have been a kitchen sink in it – if I’d have dug through it, I might have found one.” While the recycling depot staff do their best to keep the facility neat and tidy, Zander is concerned about the smell and health impacts. “The number of times I have come in there after
that mess has been dumped there, there is a black ooze all over the area where you dump the recyclables,” he told council July 10. “If you have two or three people backing in there to dump stuff, you end up driving through that goo and you get it on your shoes, and you are going to end up with it in your car. It isn’t just something you can clean up.” Jim Lowrie, the city’s director of engineering, said the problem is a regional issue that’s affecting many Lower Mainland municipalities. “The problem is with the largest processor in the Lower Mainland – Harvest Power is running into issues with the capacity of pure food waste,” he said. “Because of the homogenous nature and biodegradability, it produces odours. There have been complaints at their facility.” Harvest Power operates an organic waste composting facility in Richmond, where it takes items like foods scraps and yard waste from around the region and turns them into mulch, soil and compost. In response to more than 2,500 complaints about the smell emanating from the facility, Metro Vancouver and the City of Richmond have taken steps to have the company remedy the situation. According to Lowrie, the issue relates to food waste from the multi-family sector, and a solution is expected soon. Until then, he said yard waste and green waste is being mixed into food waste at the recycling depot, which allows Harvest Power to process the food waste more effectively and address odour concerns.
Oakland Street says thanks for the pavement Oakland Street is great – and grateful. Mark Fox, a resident of the 100 block of Oakland Street, appeared before council in February to urge the city to repave the street that’s been deteriorating for 30 years. “As of May 24, the 100 block of Oakland Street is truly great,” he told council in June. “It’s a real street, properly paved for the very
first time, I think.” Mayor Jonathan Cote said he had gone by the street and said the paving work was “definitely an improvement.” “One of your neighbours with little ones sent me a picture of the kids for the first time being able to ride their scooters on their street because it was now properly paved,” he said. – Theresa McManus
“When they get the new processor in place, they will no longer have to mix. There’s a very limited capacity in the Lower Mainland.There are companies that are just forming that are establishing a capacity to accept the food waste prod-
ucts from our multi-family sector,” he said. “It’s the same issue impacting several other municipalities.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the city is dealing with the issue and expects it to be resolved very quickly. “We don’t want it there,” he said of organics. “There used to be this saying – don’t panic, it’s organic. Well, people are panicking
because of the odours the organics are creating. It’s creating liability issues in their communities. I hope we find a solution soon.” Zander believes the situation serves as a reminder of the need for Metro Vancouver and cities to find a longterm solution for addressing food waste. “If we are going to increase the population, and
we have a problem now, it’s going to be an even bigger problem later,” he said. “Some people in the GVRD and the cities around the Lower Mainland better get their heads together about what they’re going to do about it because it’s going to be a serious problem if it isn’t already.”

Experience inspires local mom to give back NewWest parent whose daughter has a rare genetic disease compiles a book about living with cystinosis Grant Granger
ggranger@newwestrecord.ca
Little Elsie Buck was a picky eater. No big deal for an infant, or so Amanda and Dave Buck thought. As did the doctors. But at about six months she stopped growing. In fact, she actually lost weight. That was a big deal. “They never took our concerns seriously. As firsttime parents we were second guessing ourselves (wondering if) maybe it was normal,” says Amanda Buck. But the pickiness persisted. Eventually the New Westminster family was sent to the renal clinic at B.C. Children’s Hospital, which ordered some tests, including one with an ophthalmologist. After the exam, the eye doctor said, “Oh yeah, the crystals are there. She has cystinosis.” What? Wait? What’s cystinosis? “He expected me to know what that meant,” says Buck. She didn’t. Doctors at the renal clinic had not told her they suspected cystinosis and it could be confirmed by an eye test. That night, the Bucks hit the internet trying to find out what the heck cystinosis was.They couldn’t turn their eyes away from the computer when they realized just how dire a disease their 15-month-old had. Cystinosis is a rare genetic, metabolic disease. Both parents must have the unusual gene that passes it along, and even then there’s only a 25 per cent chance their offspring will be afflicted. It’s so rare that only about 2,000 people in the world have it, and Buck only knows of three in British Columbia, including Elsie. Cystinosis attacks a number of organs.The first to feel its effects are usually the kidneys and the eyes. Medication is extremely costly, and so is the research to find an improved treatment or a cure.That’s why Buck has joined forces with Amanda Leigh, a young woman in NewYork state with cystinosis.They have self-published a book telling the stories of those with the disease.The proceeds go to the Cystinosis Research

But she needs a rigid regimen of medication just to survive.Through it all, her family has run the gamut of exhausting emotions. “Dealing with it was definitely difficult,” admits Buck. “I would say sometimes I still don’t think I’ve really properly dealt with it.

I might have to get my mama bear claws out to make sure the school takes me seriously…
her better. I didn’t even think about me.That kind of careened into something else.” Then she got pregnant again. It wasn’t planned, so they were actually relieved to have the difficult decision about whether or not to risk having another child taken out of their hands.The relief was even bigger after they found out their son, Linden, who was born two-and-ahalf years ago, did not have cystinosis. However, Buck had postpartum depression. “That’s when I had to
stop and take a look at what I needed too, and take care of myself,” she says. “Eventually I just got to the point where I realized I couldn’t just ignore the bad things. I had to actually acknowledge them and say, ‘yeah, this actually sucks, this is hard,’ instead of just trying to put on a brave face and look at things positively.” Elsie’s kidney disease is now under control.They make regular visits every three months to the renal clinic, and the Bucks are constantly monitoring her levels to make sure she’s taking the right dose of supplements and her main medication, Cystagon. Elsie has taken growth hormones so she’s average height now, but still thin. Buck says a transplant is probably an eventuality as most kids with the disease suffer kidney failure at about age 10. She adds transplants usually happen when they’re in their teens, but there are some in their 20s who haven’t had one. There’s a new drug approved by Health Canada, she says, that is still going through regulatory reviews. It would mean taking the medicine once every 12 hours instead of every six. That would eliminate the nightly 1:30 a.m. alarm the Bucks have endured for the past four years. They’re also hoping Pharmacare will cover the new drug because its annual cost can reach as high as $250,000, depending on how many pills the patient takes. At $38 per pill, the bill adds up quickly. Currently Elsie downs 24 Cystagon tablets daily.
Now: Five-year-old Elsie with her mom Amanda. Elsie was diagnosed with cystinosis, a rare metabolic disease that affects the kidneys, when she was a baby. Amanda has partnered with Amanda Leigh, who lives in New York State and has cystinosis, to publish a book about people with the disease. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
“She knows that she’s different. She knows there’s something about her genetic makeup that means she has to take her medications and that her brother and her parents don’t have to,” says Buck. “Sometimes it makes her feel special. Sometimes she’ll kind of brag to people about it.” Buck laughs because Elsie can confidently say the name of her blood pressure medication, but regular words trip her up. “She still can’t pronounce birthday, but Spironolactone, no problem.” Home and the playground are one thing, but school is another. Elsie starts kindergarten in September, and her mother is terrified. She tried to get a head start on the transition with the school before summer holidays, but they told her they’d figure it out in September. “She’s going to have to take some medication at school, and I don’t know
how that’s going to happen,” says Buck. “This is life-saving medication (that school officials) are going to have to make sure she takes at exactly the right time. “It tastes awful. She doesn’t like taking it, so someone’s going to have to make sure she takes it. She should be getting eye drops (to stop crystals from forming on her corneas), so someone’s going to have to do that.” Buck also notes Elsie has to make many trips to the toilet and because the medication leaves an odour, she’s worried about the possibility Elsie will be bullied. “I might have to get my mama bear claws out to make sure the school takes me seriously,” says Buck, although she admits Elsie may be more ready than she is for kindergarten. “She’s kind of looking forward to it, too.You can tell she wants her independence a bit, to start her own path.”
On top of all her fretting, Buck has kept busy blogging (elsinosis.com) about the trials and tribulations of cystinosis. A while back she liked a kids book about diabetes, so she put out feelers to the cystinosis community about developing a similar one. Leigh replied saying she would participate if it was stories about dealing with the disease. Buck liked the idea, so she found the writers and Leigh packaged their stories. Some were written by parents or siblings, others by adults with the disease. Buck’s contribution was a blog she’d written about Linden and the effect his sister’s cystinosis has on him.

Arts & Entertainment Nature and tech meet in Dominion Experience the whimsy of the New Media Gallery’s latest exhibition, Dominion. Featuring pieces by four artists from around the world, Dominion seeks to explore the relationship between the natural world and technology.The exhibition includes video, electronic media, appropriated material, sound and light, according to a press release. “Each work captures migratory, programmed movements, flows and computations between the natural and the technological realms,” reads the release. Pieces in the exhibit include Mat Collishaw’s The Centrifugal Soul, which spins under a strobe light “to create a lush, dizzying illusion of flapping, mating, preening birds and flowers,” according to the release. American artist Jim
Campbell’s Exploded View Birds uses blinking lights to evoke the image of migratory birds in flight. Italy’s Davide Quayola has brought Natures, a “series of plant studies, described as vibrant, immaterial and contingent,” notes the release. Also featured in the exhibit is Kathy Hinde’s piece Piano Migrations, which uses a piano soundboard stripped of its trappings to reveal a more “ethereal” instrument that is activated by the shadows of swallows, according to the release. Catch Dominion at the New Media Gallery until Oct. 1.The gallery is on the third floor of Anvil Centre, 777 Columbia St. It’s open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Tuesday to Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

Community
Homecoming still going strong 15 years later Don Hauka
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Time flies when you’re having fun and building a winner. It’s hard to believe this will be the 15th edition of the New Westminster Hyacks football homecoming, a community celebration that’s become a Royal City tradition. The theme of this year’s homecoming game on Sept. 8 at Mercer Stadium is “15 Years Long and Still Going Strong!” And it features all the family-friendly fun events that have become hallmarks of homecoming. The event kicks off at 4 p.m. with the alumni flag football game. At 5 p.m. the pre-game party begins featuring Family Fun Zone and Mascot Mania. “For 15 years, Hyacks homecoming has celebrated our unique community by bringing people of all ages and backgrounds together to have some fun and to be a part of the pursuit of excellence on and off
A New West tradition: Left, the varsity Hyacks get ready for the big homecoming game last September. Below right, Team City Hall members pull with all their might in the 2015 homecoming tug-of-war.

the field,” said Hyacks head coach Farhan Lalji. “This is one 15-and-long situation I don’t mind being in.” In addition, spectators will be treated to the third annual F.G. Richards Sr. Memorial Tug of War Competition. Last year,Team Union (a.k.a. More Than They Bargained For) defeated Team City Hall (New West City Haulers), which also saw teams from the New Westminster school district and Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation take part.This year,Team Union is going for a “threepeat” and preparing to defend its title. Throw in the prize-car draw presented by Key West Ford, skydivers dropping in the game ball, and a drumline band for half-time entertainment, and you have a recipe for a community celebration instant classic.

Community New Westminster forging bond with First Nation Fire truck is a first step to establish ties with Tl’etinqox First Nation Theresa McManus
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A New Westminster fire truck may be the first step in establishing stronger ties with the Tl’etinqox First Nation. Rather than disposing of a 15-year-old fire truck at auction, the City of New Westminster agreed to donate the vehicle that was being taken out of service to the Tl’etinqox First Nation. A day after the vehicle was delivered to the Anaham reserve in July, it was called into action. “The fire came over the mountain and started heading straight for the reservation,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who accompanied the fire truck on its voyage to Anaham. “We just got the fire truck hooked up in time and were able to put out a couple of spot fires along the road.The fire burned all the way up to a fire guard that they made

and then it was diverted. The wind took it downriver. The fire truck was a real asset to them.” Puchmayr believes Tl’etinqox Chief Joe Alphonse’s decision not to evacuate the reserve resulted in additional firefighting resources being deployed to the community. Some Anaham residents temporarily relocated to a neighbouring community but didn’t evacuate as ordered by the province. “There is really nothing left to burn on that route,” he told the Record Aug. 15. “It was almost 140,000 square hectares of forest gone all along that route. There’s really not much left that can be a threat to them. Things have settled down. It was quite a victory for them.” While the Anaham community was “thrilled” to receive a fire truck from the City of New Westminster, Puchmayr believes it’s only
the beginning of opportunities between the two communities, which are discussing the possibility of establishing a sister city relationship. “Chief Alphonse is in favour of becoming a sister city, a formal relationship with us.We talked about it while I was up there. He is quite excited about that. He thinks it would be a really strong direction towards reconciliation, rather than just talk about it, to actually do something,” he said. “I really think that this relationship would be one that would really show there are communities out there that really want to reach out, and not just talk and apologize, but do.This will be a really good start in that direction. I am really pleased that all of us on council and the mayor are really excited about the potential of this type of initiative.” Puchmayr said the federal government has talked about improving fire services for First Nations communities, so the truck will continue to be a valuable

asset in Anaham. “Chief Alphonse tells me they are going to now build a fire hall for the fire truck and train up a fire crew. I am thinking New Westminster could play a role in training up a fire crew,” he said. “It would be great to have us go up there and train a fire crew and also on the EOC (emergency op-
erations centre) end of it there is real need to brush up on their EOC program. We have got one of the best in the Lower Mainland, in my opinion, and it would be great to go up there and customize one for their area as well.” Although the 15-yearold fire truck isn’t suitable for use in New West be-
cause of the amount of use it gets in the city, Puchmayr said it’s still a valuable asset to a smaller community where it’s used less often. In the past, the community has had to rent a fire truck when holding powwows and other events on their land in remote areas.

Smoky skies were a warning in the early years of the city Archie and Dale Miller
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Over the past weeks we have watched and smelled – and some have tasted – the smoke from the Interior’s wild fires. With the winds blowing in the right direction, we were covered every day with a dense haze that obliterated our view of the mountains, the valley, across the Gulf of Georgia and along the waterfront. As we write this, the haze is diminishing and the winds are blowing the smoke away from our area, at least for now. There are many references to smoky conditions in the history of southwestern B.C., but they were usually from fires in the local region, not far into the Interior.There are stories of brush fires in areas that we would now recognize as Burnaby, Coquitlam, the Pitt River and Surrey. In many cases, the local community became very apprehensive at the smell of smoke – how close was it, which way was the wind blowing, what was burning? A couple of instances in particular related to the lands referred to as “out behind Sapperton,” and on those occasions people would head out into that
area to check on the origins of the smoke. Sometimes, the city’s fire brigade would also check to see what the situation was, and fortunately, while there were many minor occurrences and loss of buildings, nothing too terrible seems to have occurred. Nevertheless, there was some degree
In many cases, the local community became very apprehensive at the smell of smoke…
of fire and smoke. In the latter half of the year 1898, there was a lot of smoke in the air from some brush fires as well as land clearing.This had been noticed over a very wide expanse of the Lower Mainland, across a large portion of the Gulf and the Gulf Islands and over to Vancouver Island itself. Remember now that it was in early September of 1898 that New Westmin-
ster suffered its “Great Fire” that destroyed virtually the entire downtown area. Stories from all around the Royal City after this catastrophic event spoke of the air already being so smoky that the added smoke did not really stand out. One fellow from Surrey rode his horse to a high vantage point to see for himself and noted the destruction along the waterfront where the downtown had been. One family who lived near the Fraser’s mouth used their small boat to venture upriver to see what had occurred. A man in Victoria noted that the air was quite thick with smoke and this had been the case for some time – then he heard that New Westminster had suffered a massive blaze. We know now that the part of the brain that processes senses like sight and smell also stores emotional memories.The haze of smoke, and particularly its smell, can mark an event indelibly in your brain. Smoke is very much a part of our history, and it will always be an unforgettable part of the year 2017 for B.C. residents, especially in the province’s Interior.

Community Uptown business offers community meeting space Theresa McManus MOVERS & SHAKERS
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
A local arts promoter has helped broker a deal with a local business on behalf of local community groups. Tony Antonias was recently shopping at Buy-Low Foods inWestminster Centre, when he spotted a meeting space he thought would be beneficial to community members when parts of the NewWestminster Public Library are closed for renovations. “My suggestion is a very simple one: Get to know Buy-Low,” he said. Antonias said Buy-Low Foods store manager Venicio De Bortoli is agreeable to allowing community groups to use the space at no charge while the library undergoes renovations. BuyLow is inWestminster Centre at 555 Sixth St. “Buy-Low Foods is here to support the community in more ways than helping
to put food on the table,” he said in a press release. The space is large enough to seat 15 people and is available at no charge seven days a week during store hours, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Anyone interested in using the space while the library is being renovated can call De Bortoli or a supervisor at 604-524-0654 to book the room. Buy-Low Foods is one of the places that’s agreed to provide meeting space to local community groups once renovations get underway in September, beginning in the basement, then moving to the second and main floors. Updates on the renovation will be posted on the library’s website at www. nwpl.ca. It also lists alternative meetings spaces for community groups. BOSLEY’S GIVES BACK Local animals’ lives are a whole lot better thanks to the folks at Bosley’s by Pet Valu at Columbia Square. “One of my goals when
I opened my Bosley’s store was to become part of the community and to contribute to part of the community,” owner Karima Jivraj recently told city council. “In the six years and three months we have been here, we have been really, really lucky.We have had a lot of support from our customers and we have been making a contribution to the New Westminster Animal Shelter consistently.” In April, the store did a fundraising drive for two animal shelters in the Lower Mainland and provided the local shelter with nearly $8,000 in cash and supplies. In June, Jivraj presented city council with a cheque for $3,837 for the NewWestminster Animal Shelter. “Our goal is that the new shelter have all the bells and whistles that every animal could hope for until they find a new home,” she said. Last year, Jivraj was nominated as Businessperson of theYear in the Platinum Awards.

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS OR TO BECOME A MEMBER, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE Summertime has us thinking about team building outings to the golf course, the go-kart track or around the barbeque. There is a lot of value in bringing together your team in settings outside of the normal workplace and providing some recreation or entertainment.
UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS
Employee engagement activities can improve staff morale and social opportunities for your workers. Getting to know one another better in an unstructured setting is beneficial back in the office, too. Employees often list improved trust, a deeper sense of collaboration, and even a willingness to suggest more creative ideas after they’ve been provided with engagement activities.
NEW MEMBER BREAKFAST SEP 7 8AM-9:30AM
Team building doesn’t need to be expensive either: potlucks, movie nights, and even letting employees work from home on occasion can all be ways to provide these opportunities without needing a big budget. Long term planning can also help reduce costs for employers looking for activities or events for their employees–sometimes discounts exist for companies that book ahead.
MONTHLY NETWORKING EVENT – THORNEBRIDGE GARDENS SEP 13 5PM-7PM
Winter holiday parties are often what most people see as the traditional part of employee engagement activities but it can be hard to find a venue or the right fit. It might seem a bit strange for us to be thinking ahead to December, but we’re taking our own advice and planning long term. If you have a small team or are a solo entrepreneur and are looking to celebrate the holidays this winter, why not join us at our first annual Winter Holiday Party and let us do all the work? This party complete with mingling and a full turkey dinner (vegetarian options available!) also features the Quayside Voices choir leading a sing-a-long of festive carols. Join us at Inn at the Quay on Wednesday December 6th from 6-9pm. Tickets are only $75 per person and we’ve even secured a special “Take the Elevator Home” reduced rate at the hotel so that no one needs to worry about driving. Check out our website’s events section for more details or to purchase tickets. From all of us at the Chamber, I hope you get a chance to relax and engage with your staff this summer, and I hope to see you at our Holiday Party!

The submarine, located on the western side of the waterfront esplanade, is being removed and a new playground is being built; New West resident Melanie Fontana recently snapped this photo near the Kruger plant while on her way to work; Kurt Comer sent this photo of his daughter Alice, 3, just before Canada Day. While walking on the banks of the Fraser River in Queensborough, Alice came face to face with a beaver, Canada’s national animal. Thank you for the photos, everyone!

“MORREY INFINITI SERVICE” “MORREY INFINITI SERVICE”
IN THE LIBRARY
There’s still lots of time to pick up a great book Shelley Wilson-Roberts
editorial@newwestrecord.ca
Even though most adults don’t get an endless stretch of summer vacation like schoolchildren do, it’s still nice to imagine extra-long days with more opportunities to read books and lounge in the sun. Here are some titles that you might like to read if you find yourself with some extra reading time during these last few weeks of summer – and some books to take you out of the ordinary. For historical fiction fans, try The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry. Set in Victorian England, the book’s characters explore the tensions between faith and science during the rise of fossil discoveries throughout England.The central character, Cora Seaborne, is vividly drawn, as is the Essex coastline setting.

Here are some titles that you might like to read if you find yourself with some extra reading time … Murder in Saint-Germain is the latest instalment in the Aimée Leduc mysteries set in Paris by author Cara Black. If you’re new to the series, the first book is called Murder in the Marais.They are fun, fast-paced mysteries with a nice glimpse of contemporary Paris thrown in. Most of the characters feature regularly in each book in the series, and each series entry features a different Parisian arrondissement. If you missed the buzz about Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels from a couple of years back, then borrow a copy of My Brilliant Friend to see what the fuss is about. Excellent writing
combined with strong characters and a memorable setting make this book an unforgettable read to savour. If you enjoyed this book, there are three more to follow. Don’t forget the New Westminster Public Library has a summer reading challenge for adults, too – why should kids have all the fun? There is still time to grab a booklet at the inquiry desk and complete the challenges, then submit your booklet for the prize draw at the end of summer. If you need me, my nose will be in a great book this summer. I hope yours will be, too.

Over easy: New West’s Grace Fetherstonhaugh en route to a gold medal at the Canada Summer Games PHOTO MATT DUBOFF/CANADA GAMES
Grace on golden pace
It seems 2017 is the summer of fast for New Westminster’s Grace Fetherstonhaugh. The 16-year-old distance runner added two more feathers in her cap when it comes to personal bests – and gold medals, as well. Fetherstonhaugh took top spot in the women’s 3000metre and 2000m steeplechase at last week’s Legion National Youth championships in Brandon, Man. It came just a week after she collected a gold medal for Team B.C. in the 3000m steeplechase at the Canada Summer Games in Manitoba. Her time in the 3000m race was 9:37.91, beating her nearest rival by 15 seconds, while chopping more than seven seconds off her previous quickest time, set a month earlier. In the 2000m steeplechase, Fetherstonhaugh again lopped seven seconds off a PB en route to gold. She won the women’s event with a time of 6:41.46 – with 23 seconds separating her and second place. The Royal City Track and Field Club runner has made the most of the current track season, setting great times at the Oregon Relays, B.C. high school championships as well as Canadian under-20 championships. She kept the momentum going with a gold medal for Team BC at the Canada Games in the 3000-metre steeplechase – the province’s first medal in track at the Games. And keeping with a trend-setting summer, the New West Secondary athlete established a new personal best of 10:15.32, cutting nearly 10 seconds off her previous best mark, set at the nationals three weeks earlier.

It’s the foibles of old fashion newspapers – that a deadline cannot reveal what happened once the keys stopped being punched and the paper unfolds in your hands. While you can find the results of last night’s decisive Game 7 between the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the Maple Ridge Burrards at www. newwestrecord.ca, the aforementioned deadline prevents us from printing it here. Trust us, it was a doozy. How the two teams ended up in a fateful final and deciding game was through toil, sweat and plenty of frustration. For New West, it was a successful testament to perseverance, as the squad erased a 3-1 series deficit to deadlock the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal and force Wednesday’s winner-takeall battle. Here is how we recalled Monday’s crucial Game 5: Shouldering the load: New Westminster Salmonbellies’ netminder Alexis Buque blocks a shot from Maple Ridge’s Ben McIntosh in Game 4 of their Western Lacrosse Association semifinal.

Canadians pick up hockey silver
The Canadian men’s field hockey team wrapped up the 2017 Pan American Cup with a 2-0 loss to the reigning Olympic champions, Argentina, in the final men’s matchup last week. It was a repeat of the 2013 Men’s Pan American Cup Final but Canada closed the gap, having lost 4-0 in 2013. Along with the medal, Canada pocketed a couple of other acchievements – like seeing three young rookies gain experience in their first international matches against the world’s best, and having goalkeeper David Carter named best in the men’s tournament. Argentina came out strong in the first half, forcing Carter to make numerous saves. By the fourth minute, Argentina established a lead it would build on. The Canadian roster includes national team veteran Brenden Bissett of New Westminster, and Burnaby brothers Iain and John Smythe. Since his debut with the national squad in 2011, 24-year-old Bissett has represented Canada 82 times, including at the 2016 Rio Olympics. “It was a really tough match for us,” Carter said following the game. “We came out a bit slow, when you’re facing a team that’s as good and as classy as Argentina – world’s No. 1, they were just so much sharper in their skills than us in the first quarter and we got behind the 8-ball.” The first half saw Argentina control the tempo, with some fleeting chances for the Canucks, but mistakes on turnovers left it up to Carter in the back to save the team from a barrage of Argentinian shots. In the second half Canada came out and “played with that Canadian grit that we’re known for, upped the physicality a little bit and never quit,” said Carter.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
