Face-off brouhaha reveals series tensions As the Salmonbellies head into the final Mann Cup games, sports editor Dan Olson looks at on-floor battles and contentious mind games both teams are using to gain an edge. See page 30.

BATTLE LINES: Tempers flared early during the ceremonial faceoff Tuesday when Hallof-Famers Al Lewthwaite, standing in rear and Eric Cowieson, with the ball, prepared to drop the ball. Mayor Jonathan Cote watches. Above, NW’s Conner Robinson is taken into the boards by Peterborough’s Thomas Hoggarth.

Cost of Ewen Avenue project soars

Final phase of project was estimated to cost $7.5 million – now it’s jumping to $12.8 million, if the city can even find a contractor

Contaminated and soft soil has increased the cost of the third and final phase of the Ewen Avenue project by $5.3 million to nearly $13 million.

That’s if the city can find someone to do the job. According to a report presented at a council meeting held at the Queensborough Community Centre on Monday, the first two phases of the project, planning of which dates back to 2011,

had some challenges. So the city decided to do some geotechnical testing for the final 800 metres from Hampton Street to Boundary Road. It showed the soil was so poor the peat would have to be removed and replaced with specialized lightweight fill.

Youth charged in bomb threat

Crown to prosecute teenage boy on two counts of uttering threats By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Two charges of uttering threats have been laid against a youth after a bomb threat at New Westminster Secondary School last week. New Westminster police were informed of the threat on Monday, Sept. 4, according to police, and the department’s major crime unit quickly took over the case. “The NWPD did a sweep of the school and determined that there was no threat,” superintendent Pat Duncan told the Record last Tuesday. There were no students in the school at the time. In a letter to parents before the first day of school, principal John Tyler said a threat had been made against the school, but it had been determined there was no risk to students, staff or the public. A teenage boy was arrested in connection to the threat, according to police spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott, and a search of his home confirmed there was no risk to the public or school. The youth has since been charged, but, because of a publication ban, no more details have been provided about his age or whether he is a student at the local high school. Opening day assemblies at the high school went ahead as planned, according to Duncan.

Finish line in sight for New West’s community plan update Major changes such as laneway houses are part of proposed new OCP By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Some significant changes are being proposed as part of the update to New Westminster’s official community plan. New Westminster city council is set to consider the official community plan (OCP) on Sept. 18, following a public hearing in council chamber at 6 p.m.The plan, which has been in the works since January 2014, includes policies, visions and goals to guide the city’s growth, as well as a land-map showing the types and locations of land uses to be encouraged in the next 25 years. OCP documents indicate New Westminster’s population is projected to grow to more than 100,000 residents by 2041. In addition to showing where the city can accommodate the population growth, the plan has also considered ways to increase housing choices in New West, where 95 per cent of today’s housing stock is made up of single-family homes and apartments/condominiums. Planner Lynn Roxburgh has been the lead on the Our City 2041 offi-

cial community plan, which got underway in January 2014.The Record checked in with Roxburgh to get her thoughts on the biggest changes being proposed in the plan. ! Laneway and carriage houses: The adoption of the OCP, and the related amendments to the zoning bylaw, would allow laneway and carriage houses throughout much of the city. “The proposal is bold in that people wanting to build a laneway house would not have to apply for a rezoning, and the development permit would be issued by the director of development services. No council approval would be required,” Roxburgh said. “This will help add new ground-oriented housing to New Westminster’s housing stock.These new units can be used by family or can be rented.” ! Other forms of infill housing: A key focus of the OCP process was to provide more opportunities for housing choice. Increasing housing choice can be achieved by encouraging more ground-oriented, infill housing forms. “This OCP would start the process of allowing new forms of infill, in-

cluding townhouses and rowhouses, as well as other forms such as triplexes, quadraplexes and cluster houses,” Roxburgh said. “The implementation of the OCP would continue to move the city forward towards achieving this objective.” ! 22nd Street station area master plan:The area surrounding the 22nd Street SkyTrain station could see significant change with the adoption of the new official community plan. “A lot of discussion took place through the OCP review about future land uses in this area; however, the proposed OCP makes it clear that more work needs to be done prior to allowing redevelopment to move forward,” Roxburgh said. “The work would include a detailed transportation study, identification of the appropriate community amenities for the area, and creating design guidelines that ensure the public and private realm are well designed.” ! Special employment area: An area around the Royal Columbian Hospital has been identified as a special employment area. Continued on page 11

City Beat GOOD DEEDS

Losing his hair for a good cause By Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

Recently Will Sandwith’s friends haven’t recognized him, at least right away they don’t. Heck, even Sandwith doesn’t know it’s him when he first looks in a mirror. Sandwith had eight years worth of long locks lopped off Aug. 26. Now he’s donating the 30 inches of tresses, along with more than $4,000 he raised leading up to the big cutdown day, to Wigs for Kids B.C. Considering he’d been growing his carrot-coloured mop top since he was an adolescent, losing the locks has changed his look to something no one’s seen before. Even him. “I have to take a couple of glances, especially in the morning,” said Sandwith. “I can see my ears! Who is this person? Wow, it’s me!” It’s the second time he’s done it.When he was a kid, he decided to grow his hair for charity and after four years, in 2009, and about to move on from Glenbrook Middle School to New Westminster Secondary, he had it chopped off in front of the whole school.The then-13-year-old donated that hair to Angel Hair For Kids and Wigs for Kids B.C. This time he had it cut by Michael Levine, who has three studios and schools in Greater Vancouver. Levine shaved the sides of Sandwith’s head with an undercut style, but there’s still a lot on top and it’s brushed to one side. He loves the look. He thinks it’s “fantastic” and so do his friends and his boss at The Spud Shack, although they admit it’s weird to look at him now. He’s also got the approval of his parents. “They think it’s a great look. I don’t want to say they disliked the old hair style, but they definitely like this new one,” said Sandwith. “It looks much cleaner, much more professional. It’s not so distracting.” Losing the locks has changed a lot of little things in his life. “It’s a lot cooler on the back of my neck. I’m not waking up with hairs in my mouth. Showers are much shorter.You step in, you get wet, you step out and you’re done. It’s so much easier to dry my hair now,” said Sandwith. “Feeling the back of my head is something I’ve never really gotten to do. Now it’s smooth, and man, that is really weird.” Friends told him he would suffer from Phantom Hair Syndrome.They were right. “Every time, especially when I’m walking up the stairs, I usually feel my hair brushing up against my neck or my shoulders, and I know it’s not there anymore, but I still feel it. I often try to brush my hair down my back, or pull it back into a ponytail, and there’s nothing to grab,” he said. Sandwith feels good about what he’s done. Although his goal was to raise $5,000 – donations were still being taken on the weekend at wigsforkidsbc.com.

City Ewen Avenue roadwork faces numerous obstacles type of bid,” said Coun. Chuck Puchmayr during the meeting. His concern has him wondering if New West should have its own paving company similar to the City of Vancouver. “There might be some efficiencies there, especially when some of the bids come in really high when they know there’s no one else to bid,” said Puchmayr.

This is one of the most challenging projects the city has faced over the last number of years.

Planning for the Ewen Avenue improvement project began in 2011 with the first phase from Furness Street to Derwent Way, about 550 metres, carried out in 2013/14 at a cost of $3 million.The second phase, from Derwent to Hampton Street, 1,250 me-

tres, was done over the following three years. Its cost is $18 million. Final paving has just been completed, but there’s still some lines to be painted and last-minute details to be completed. “This is one of the most challenging projects the city has faced over the last number of years, but I think this council has recognized the important role Ewen plays as a main street through the district and the previous configuration had some serious shortcomings,” Cote told the group. Engineering technician Stacey Neves, the report’s author, said the city would be contacting development construction companies working in the area to coordinate traffic control in an effort to avoid some of the delays encountered during the first two phases. In addition to 800 metres of new asphalt, the project includes full-ditch enclosures, a multi-use pathway, a new sidewalk, 36 new street lights, 105 new trees, 900 metres of sewer main and a reconfiguration of the intersection at Ewen and Boundary.

HAMMERS

Continued from page 1 city to divide the final phase in two. First up was supposed be replacing twin culverts at Boundary and Ewen.That work will be complex and requires a lot of preloading. A tender was put out for the replacement in June, but no bids were received because construction companies in the region are already swamped with work. So that part was consolidated back into the road construction part of the third phase and put out to tender on Aug. 25, with a closing date of Sept. 20.The report said changes were made to the design and a flexible start date was proposed in an effort to attract more bidders and reduce cost.The tender, however, does stipulate the project must reach substantial completion by Oct. 31, 2018. “I’m a little disappointed we could not get a tender for the next phase of it. What worries me is there’s so much construction going on. Even if we did get a bid, it would be so high because it’s a really bad time to bid when everybody is swamped. I’m worried we’re going to get a bid that’s basically a take-it-or-go-away

ASK THE EXPERT Q:

I have heard so much about the health beneﬁts of going Gluten Free. Do I need to try it?

A. People follow a gluten free diet for many reasons. There are certain conditions, such as celiac disease, that require going gluten free. Others feel better once gluten is eliminated from the diet, thereby Dr. Allana Polo, Naturopathic Physician suggesting gluten sensitivity. Gluten sensitivity can cause digestive problems like bloating, diarrhea, and gas. It can cause other symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, weight gain, insomnia and mood changes. Many people diagnosed with ‘IBS’ actually have gluten sensitivity! Food sensitivity testing can be done at Polo health. An elimination diet is also a helpful diagnostic tool. Avoid gluten for 6 weeks and then reintroduce it, noting symptoms that occur. When the removal of gluten alleviates your symptoms, and reintroduction causes recurrence, that is a sure sign there is a problem with gluten. Don’t try to replace gluten foods with the “gluten free” version. Usually, the gluten free alternative is worse for you with more added sugar and fats. Instead, ﬁnd real food alternatives to your favorite foods. For instance, instead of a sandwich, try a lettuce wrap or instead of pasta, try zucchini noodles. 604.544.POLO (7656) I www.polohealth.com 711 Columbia Street, New Westminster Hours of Operation: Monday-Thursday: 9am-7pm I Friday: 9am-6pm Saturdays: 9am-5pm I Sundays & Holidays: Closed

Opinion OUR VIEW

Another reason why voting matters For the cynics who bailed on voting in the last provincial election because: “Ah, it doesn’t matter who is in the government. It’s all baloney,” the NDP has made it quite clear – it does matter. It matters a lot. Monday’s budget is clearly a 180-degree turn from the previous Liberal government. Despite former Premier Christy Clark’s lastminute, futile effort to save

her political skin by stealing the NDP platform, it is very plainly a completely different government viewpoint. In fact, it is a completely different viewpoint on life. Where the Liberals left those on social assistance struggling for 10 years with no increases, the NDP is ensuring that disability and income recipients will be able to earn an extra $200 a month before the province

claws back any money from social assistance. It will also increase welfare and disability rates. Where the Liberals did not place a priority on helping the homeless, the NDP is spending $291 million over two years to build 2,000 new modular housing units for the homeless across the province and $170 million to provide 24/7 staffing and support

services. And with Darryl Plecas jumping ship from the Liberals and becoming Speaker, the NDP can most likely wait until 2021 to hold an election. That gives them plenty of time to turn the ship around and prove to the voters of B.C. that one doesn’t have to make a choice between treating the poor fairly and enriching businesses. Hope-

fully, a good government can balance both interests without punishing either. But will they do that? If we have learned one thing from politics, it’s that ideologically based parties have a hard time steering towards a centre position. Both the Liberals and the NDP in the past have taken an election win to mean that they can upend the system and recreate it entirely

in their own vision. But we are comforted this time around that the NDP is proceeding cautiously. They are phasing in eliminating the MSP and are treading carefully on how they manage to subsidize child care. It will be interesting to see how they balance voters’ expectations and fiscal reality in the February 2018 budget.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

NDP fortunes are on the rise Several weeks ago, NDP house leader Mike Farnworth insisted to me that he was convinced his party was going to be able to cling to power longer than many – including those in that party – had speculated. Now I know why. Farnworth has been carrying around a secret – one he shared only with Premier John Horgan – that only became public late last week: that B.C. Liberal MLA Darryl Plecas was willing to serve as legislature Speaker. Plecas’ move (he is now an ex-B.C. Liberal MLA, as his old party terminated his membership for performing what it considered to be an act of betrayal) gives the NDP significant breathing room in the legislature. The NDP, propped up by the support of the three B.C. Green MLAs on confidence votes, will now have a three-seat majority (44 to the B.C. Liberals’ 41) when those votes occur. Even when the B.C. Liberals reclaim the Kelowna seat vacated by former premier Christy Clark whenever a byelection is held, the New Democrats will still have a somewhat comfortable twoseat cushion. Farnworth began talks with Plecas in the summer, and it didn’t take long for the two to come to an agreement.The government house leader didn’t even tell members of his own caucus, and it blindsided the already beleaguered B.C. Liberal caucus as well. Plecas’ decision to seek the Speaker position has rocked the legislature. In the four months since the May 9th election, the B.C. Liberals have

largely acted like the NDPGreen arrangement was going to be short-lived and that they would return to what they considered their rightful place: in government. Now, they are staring an ugly reality squarely in the face: they may well sit in the thankless Opposition benches for more than four years (the NDP intends to move the next election date to the fall of 2021 instead of the spring). The body language of the B.C. Liberal MLAs last Friday morning when Plecas was, by tradition, “dragged” to the Speaker’s chair by the two house leaders, was telling. Some of them were slumped down in their chairs as they glared contemptuously at their former caucus colleague.They obviously didn’t see this coming (indeed, Plecas himself said were he to become Speaker it would be a “dishonourable” act and one of “betrayal”). Of course, things can still change, and one shouldn’t assume too much in the strange world of B.C. politics. It’s possible Plecas could face a recall campaign, but one can’t begin for 18 months and they are almost impossible to pull off successfully. Or perhaps the Greens will tire of propping up the NDP, but I rather doubt that as well.The three MLAs seem to be enjoying their status. The NDP can thank their veteran house leader and former leadership candidate for their brighter long-term prospects. Farnworth’s secret is going to pay off. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Piece of history restored

New Westminster firefighters gave up hope of ever getting back the first fire truck their department had ever owned, but their grief turned to joy when a Surrey man made a spur-of-the-moment decision to save the day. The fire department had raised $15,000 to bid on the 1927 Studebaker fire truck, which was on the block when the Cap’s Cycle Museum was auctioned off in October. The opening bid was $16,000, and it was eventually sold to Surrey resident David Gibb for $23,000. He then surprised everyone by gifting the truck back to the fire department then and there.

Letters Is the city to blame?

Dear Editor: This summer, the Front Street mews opened with great fanfare, but there was no official recognition that it was about eight months behind schedule. One can still find a construction timeline on the City of New Westminster website, titled Waterfront Vision Newsletter #4, dated August 2016, which says the project was to be complete by early December of last year. I realize most construction projects encounter some delays, but eight months seems extreme. I understand barriers were built, then torn up to be built again, and there were other changes in the scope of the work after it was well underway. There was supposed to be a sound barrier against noise from Front Street, but the only separation between the street and the mews is a low wall that a toddler could easier scamper over into the path of oncoming trucks. What happened to the sound barrier? Was it lost because the project budget ran out of money? Why were there so many delays, and who is accountable for them? Then there’s the mews stairway to nowhere. The city said the stairway was needed under the fire code, yet for weeks it has remained unconnected to the building it’s supposed to protect. There has been a suggestion the building owner may be to blame for the delayed completion, but if the stairs are required under the code, why is the city not being more aggressive in getting

this project finished? Near the mews, the elevator from the parkade to the Pier Park was not just months late, it was more than a year behind schedule, finally opening in 2016, but subject to repeated breakdowns. Reports in the Record blamed delays in getting parts, changes in the scope of the project and a lack of coordination between parties. Did the private contractors and suppliers face any consequences for the lengthy delays and continued technical issues? Did city staff make mistakes, by changing the scope of the project, or through poor coordination, that contributed to this embarrassment? A project to rebuild Quayside Park and replace a storm sewer outfall was supposed to be complete in July. However, the city recently revealed it has encountered problems with some underground pipes, pushing the project completion back perhaps as far as November. Did the city not know about these pipes before work started? What is the cost of the extended work, and, again, is anyone accountable? We pay senior city staff extremely good wages so they can plan and execute projects in a timely, efficient manner. But as these examples show, especially when staff are often seen passing the buck to explain delays, New Westminster residents may not be getting the best bang for their buck. David Lang, New Westminster

City Food drive coming to your door this weekend Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster residents finding a paper bag on their front doorstep this week can use it to help feed the hungry. The Greater Vancouver Food Bank is dropping off more than 38,000 bags in front of homes in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore.The food bank would like residents receiving the bags to put nutritious, nonperishable food items in them and then leave the bags on their doorsteps before 9 a.m. on Saturday (Sept. 16) for pickup. “Unfortunately, of course, we are still serving way too many people,” said GVFB chief executive officer Aart Schuurman Hess. “Many of our members are dependent on the food bank for various reasons. In Burnaby and New Westminster we

have seen an increase in refugees that have joined our services.” Last year’s inaugural food drive resulted in 53,000 pounds of food being donated.The 2017 goal is 100,000 pounds. Reaching that target would mean about three weeks of food, said Schuurman Hess. The food bank has set the lofty goal because Calgary’s annual food drives regularly raise 400,000 pounds. “We think eventually we can catch up on Calgary,” he said. According to the food bank, the best items for donation are canned fish, canned chicken or turkey, canned black beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, whole grains, whole-wheat pasta, and canned vegetables and fruit. “We’re encouraging people to check the dates as well.There’s a lot of times when food is being donat-

ed, of course it’s always given from the heart, but it doesn’t always have the best-before date in mind,” said Schuurman Hess. “Some people like to give food, that’s fine, but then please help us to get the right foods.” The public can also donate to the food bank directly at www.foodbank.bc.ca/ citywide. Each dollar donated can be leveraged by the food bank with its bulk purchasing power to provide $3 worth of food to more than 26,500 individuals who use its service, according to the release. Although direct donation gives the food bank a bigger bang for the buck, food drives like Saturday’s are still a big help. The Greater Vancouver Food Bank runs a weekly food bank on Thursdays in New Westminster at Olivet Baptist Church (613 Queen’s Ave.).

New themes in city planning

Continued from page 3 “This area is envisioned to play a key role in the future economic development of the city and have a high level of employment related activity (including an expanded knowledge based workforce).The creation of this area also expresses the city’s intent to promote and offer incentives for office development within a five-minute walk of the hospital,” Roxburgh said. “The area will leverage opportunities created through the expansion of the hospital and is aligned with the work being done on the economic health-care cluster (IDEA Centre).” ! Enhanced building type and design expectations:The proposed OCP adds more clarity about the buildings types and uses,

and even secondary uses. “We hope this provides more clarity to the community about what to expect in each area of the city,” Roxburgh said. “This OCP also goes further than the current OCP by including a more comprehensive set of guidelines.The guidelines are intended to ensure that all new development helps to implement the land-use policies in the OCP.The OCP includes guidelines that would influence the design of buildings, but also reflect other important city principles such as energy conservation. Other city policies are integrated with these guidelines, such as the urban forest management strategy and the integrated stormwater management plan.” ! Tackling new policy

themes. “The OCP review process gave us the opportunity to work with the community to create a renewed vision for the city. It was also an opportunity to integrate new themes or policies that better reflect the issues that have emerged since the last OCP was created. For example, becoming a resilient community is a much stronger theme in this new document. Strengthening social connections, and increasing the sense of belonging, was another theme that we wanted to be stronger in this OCP,” Roxburgh said. “We also worked very closely with Fraser Health to ensure that health is a strong theme throughout the document.”

City boys still having fun 80 years later

Gang that grew up together in Sapperton is still getting together monthly to live life in the past lane Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

It was the Depression years, but for a bunch of boys growing up in Sapperton, they were full of fun. These days it’s a gang of geezers that gets together once a month.They’re still having fun. Lots of fun. “We played together, grew up together, we were almost like brothers,” says Digby Turney, 88, who grew up on Kelly Street and still lives in the area. “We’ve always hung out together.” For the last 15 years or so, they’ve been meeting monthly at Sawbucks Pub in White Rock to reminisce.

We played together, grew up together … At first, there were about 18 who gathered to live life in the past lane. Since then, their numbers have dwindled. When they were little whippersnappers in New West, they weren’t packing smartphones and ear buds. What they did have was the neighbourhood. And they loved it. “The kids just don’t do things like we used to do. We didn’t have any of this electronic business, or television or anything in those days,” says Turney. “We had to make up our own activity, which was really great because we did.This is why we were so close.” It was simple stuff, but it was also stuff kids likely

couldn’t get away with today. On sunny days, the boys would go skinny-dipping in Brunette Creek.They didn’t have swim suits, or bathing suits as they were called back then. Couldn’t afford them.Their favourite swimming holes were at Minister’s Dam, Kids Dam and Boys Dam. After the swim, they’d sun themselves on the creek bank. After one refreshing dip, they were sunning themselves when a woman came along.They scrambled to cover themselves up, but it didn’t do much good. “It’s all right boys, I have some sons of my own,” she said, much to their relief. “We had a great time,” says Turney. “We did some great stuff together, some crazy stuff.” For example? Well, on one occasion, a few of them got a hold of some dynamite. They took it down to Hume Park, wrapped it around a tree and set it off, says Turney. Then there was one evening when they were teenagers, a few of them, including Turney, were at one of their favourite hangouts, Spot’s Café on East Columbia Street. Some of their buddies came busting through the door declaring breathlessly, “Hey, there’s a bunch here from East Hastings Street, and there’s a gang of them. And they want to have a fight with us!” The fighting grounds were to be the grass triangle at Braid Street and East Columbia. “Of course, word got out, and I’d have to say there

BOYS IN THE ’HOOD: Above are the boys from Sapperton in a photo dating back to approximately 1939. Pictured are (back, from left) Norman Bradford, Bill Purser, Bob Hodge, Jim Sayer, Mervin Angel, Keith Bennete, Digby Turney, Alfred Angel and (front, from left) Bill Emerton, Stan Potter, Ron Poussette and Linden Sayer. Below, the Sapperton gang’s current-day reunions include (from left) Ron Poussette, Glen Matheson, Digby Turney, Norman Bradford and Bruce Smillie. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED was darn near 40 or 50 of us who showed up there,” recalls Turney. “Of course, we just overwhelmed them. They didn’t want to have any part of it.They asked us if we would go with them, and maybe we could go somewhere and pick on someone else.We said, ‘No. Take off!’” The group goes so far back their high school years predate the building of New Westminster Secondary School, which is now on its last legs and slated for demolition. After they finished McBride Elementary, some of them went to

Duke of Connaught High School, which was located where city hall is now. Others, including Turney, attended T.J.Trapp Vocational School. It became John

Robson Elementary when NWSS opened, and has since been torn down to make way for Fraser River Middle School. Some, like Turney, ended

up working with the City of New Westminster. He was with the city’s electric company. Ron Booth worked in the public works Continued on page 15

Community Sapperton boys forever Continued from page 13 department. He’s become the group’s “one-and-only telephone committee,” calling everyone up to remind everyone. Booth says he was having a beer with a pair of Sapperton chums, Bill Clark and Bill Emerton.They thought it would be a great idea to find some more of their old buddies to get together and chew the fat, to use a phrase from their era. So that’s what they do every third Tuesday of the month. Right from the start, Booth, 86, kept a list beside his phone in South Surrey. When 2017 started, there were 12 names on it. Since then he’s had to cross off three. “We’ve very proud of being from Sapperton,” says Booth, whose son Ron is the facility manager for Queen’s Park Arena and Moody Park Arena. “We thought we were just a different part of NewWestminster where we were brought up. “We talked a little about when we were kids, and then about the girlfriends

we chased around, then we’d talk about our wives. Now we talk about our illnesses and who’s in the hospital, and who’s dying.Typical bunch of old guys.We have a lot of good conversations.” Turney usually picks up a couple of “the boys” who still live in NewWest for the drive out toWhite Rock. One of his regular passengers, until he passed away in May, was Ray McNeney, a former detective with the Vancouver Police Department who was in charge of the major crimes division when he retired. Now Turney’s only passenger is Norm Bradford. “I’m not too fussy about driving all that way by myself, so that’s why I pick up other fellows,” says Turney. “It’s still nice to hear what everybody’s doing.We usually talk about the old days, the good times, and how we miss some of the guys.You get real close to them. It’s quite sad when they pass on.” The group included Lorne Clare, a provin-

cial court judge for 23 years and a NewWest lawyer for 23 years. He died in 2010. Keith Bennett was head of Forest Industrial Relations, the umbrella organization that represented the B.C. lumber companies, putting him face-to-face across the bargaining table from legendary provincial InternationalWoodworkers of America union boss Jack Munro. “We’re from all walks of life,” says Booth, who grew up on Fader Street. The Sapperton bunch has seen a brewery come and go, and a penitentiary demolished to make way for a subdivision.Their old elementary school is still standing, though. “It’s all right, there’s nothing wrong with it really. I don’t mind the neighbourhood, it’s pretty good,” says Turney. “It’s different than when we were growing up. The kids that are around now in our area, they just don’t do the same things. I don’t know if they enjoy it as much as we did, because we really enjoyed ourselves.”

As part of Canada’s 100th birthday of confederation celebrations in 1967, four local men paddled from New Westminster to Expo 67 in Montreal to honour the milestone, the First Nations and the explorers who used a system of rivers and portages

to cross the country. “To accomplish this, they would paddle a canoe from New Westminster on the Fraser River to Expo 67 in Montreal,” said a press release from the historical society. “This presentation will honour their efforts and talk of this amazing trip known as Eastward Ho.” Jim Reid, a member of Eastward Ho, will attend the New Westminster Historical Society evening on Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Century House, 620 Eighth St. He’ll talk about the trip and show a video prepared for its 25th anniversary in 1992.

Catch the new exhibit

Here are a few highlights of the new Journey Through the Working River exhibit: * The $2.25-million educational exhibit aims to tell the economic story of the living, working Fraser River through the Fraser River Discovery Centre’s sustainability lens. * The project has been in the works for four years and has been supported by 11 partners – BNSF Railway, Chevron Canada, the City of New Westminster, Fortis B.C., Fraser River Pile and Dredge, Fraser Surrey Docks, Kinder Morgan Canada, Port of Vancouver, Saam Smit Towing, Seaspan and the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation. * Visitors will take a self-guided tour of the working river, starting in a real shipping container and proceeding through six other stations, getting information along the way. The exhibit will emphasize the challenges of balancing the environmental, socio-cultural and economic uses of the river.

Thousands of people are expected to descend on New Westminster’s waterfront for RiverFest 2017. RiverFest returns to Westminster Quay on Saturday, Sept. 23 from 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.The festival includes entertainment, including a performance by Bobs and LoLo, food trucks, interactive activities, children’s activities, an artisan market, presentations, the Lucille Johnstone workboat parade and more. “We are really looking forward to this year’s festival, which attracts close to 10,000 visitors annually to the Westminster Quay,” said Stephen Bruyneel, executive director of Fraser River Discovery Centre. “The combination of first-class entertainment, new food options and our new exhibit will mean there is something for the whole family to enjoy.” As part of this year’s festival, Fraser River Discovery Centre is launching its new working river exhibit, Jour-

ney Through the Working River. RiverFest is held annually in conjunction with B.C. Rivers Day. “The goal of the new exhibit is to personalize the mighty Fraser for all who visit the centre,” Bruyneel said in a press release. “At the end of the exhibit, visitors will be able to reflect on what they have learned and ‘create their own river’ based on their economic, environmental and sociocultural priorities.” That’s reflective of the purpose of RiverFest, which aims to celebrate the environmental, economic and socio-cultural importance of the Fraser River. One of the festival’s highlights is a performance by popular children’s entertainers, Bobs and LoLo.The Juno-nominated act combines art, education and love of nature, something organizers feel is a perfect fit with Fraser River Discovery Centre.

The festival, billed as a celebration of recovery from addiction, included a kids zone, food trucks, mental health and addiction wellness information booths, entertainment,TEDx-style speakers, and a memorial centre to honour those lost to addictions. “This is a substance-free, wicked-awesome and family-friendly event all in one,” states the event’s website. “Part music festival, part carnival, part educational event; Recovery Day B.C. is a celebration, a rally, a memorial for those lost, and a tool to raise awareness for recovery while reducing the stigma of addiction recovery.” The festival was the local finale for Recovery Week,

ASK A RETIREMENT HOME SPECIALIST

Q A

My mother passed away recently, so my father now lives on his own. He isn’t the best cook, and occasionally needs me to help with a home maintenance project. I’ve thought about introducing the idea of retirement living to him. How do I know if it’s the right time?

Truthfully, when your parent has reached an age when they could use some extra support around the house or with meals, there’s no wrong time for retirement living. There’s certainly no harm in starting the conversation with your loved one, letting them know that there are other living options in their area that can cater to their specific needs. You may find it worthwhile to begin exploring local retirement residences together, as it’ll not only help to dispel any misconceptions that they may have, but also help them to discover the benefits for themselves.

ASK AN CONTRATOR

We have an older home and want to renovate our kitchen. We have heard stories of people having to go way over budget on older home renovations. What should we expect when tackling a heritage home renovation?

You should expect that your budget will need to have room for some unexpected costs. Your contractor should be able to price out the majority of the project such as flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and finishing carpentry. When it comes to heritage homes, there are a few details that homeowners may not anticipate. Often electrical panels and original plumbing will need to be updated in order to accommodate new appliances and fixtures. Your contractor should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on an initial project consultation. Ensure that the hidden mechanics (such as electrical and plumbing upgrades) are included in your budget. JACOB NEUFELD Owner Operator

CORINA STAINSBY, REALTOR®

y name is Corina Stainsby. I am a Realtor and Seniors’ Real Estate Specialist (SRES) with Keller Williams Black Diamond Realty. I have lived in Vancouver since 1976 and currently call New Westminster a home for myself, my husband and my three sons. Our family enjoys living in New Westminster. We love the history, the different neighborhoods and businesses, the sense of community and the culture. I have been in the real estate industry, first as an Investor, then as a Realtor, for more than 20 years. Perhaps surprisingly, prior to becoming a Realtor, I worked for 15 years in the health care field as an Occupational Therapist (OT). The best part about being an OT was working together with my clients to identify what goals were important to them and then, together, creating a plan to achieve them. I truly believe everyone is unique. Everyone has a story. I believe everyone has a right to be heard and, if needed, to be helped. Rather than simply looking at the Real Estate transaction, as an SRES, I focus on how, the different aspects of my client’s life, such as their health, access to family and friends, and their financial situation might affect their decision to move or stay in their home. I see myself as a consultant and a resource for my clients. My goal is to provide information and help my clients come to a decision that is right for them; whether it’s moving, downsizing or aging-in-place. I am here to help my clients understand their options, with no rush and no pressure. I work with a network of professionals who also have the knowledge, and a full appreciation for the challenges that our clients face later in life. I enjoy working as a Realtor, especially here in the Lower Mainland, with it’s unique set of challenges. I am proud to be a board member of CARP, a member of the Senior Services Society, the Seniors Synergy Network of Professionals, the New West Chamber of Commerce, the Real Estate Action Group and, the Connaught Heights Residents Association.

Q A

How do I begin to de-clutter my home?

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, wondering where to start. Good intentions can fizzle out when faced with numerous tasks. Schedule time to work, whether CORINA STAINSBY it be 15 minutes or 2 hours. Start with manageable tasks that can be completed in the time allotted. Seeing progress will keep you going. Experts suggest first tackling an area that bothers you the most. If the clean and organized area has a positive impact in your life, it too will motivate you to continue decluttering. As you go through items you aren’t sure are worth keeping, ask yourself: How often do I use it? Do I love it or does it enhance and inspire my life in some way? If the answer to these questions is no, consider discarding it or finding it a new home.

What is the difference between normal aging and dementia?

Approximately 40% of people over the age of 65 experience some form of memory loss. When this memory loss is not caused by a medical condition, it is know as “ageassociated memory impairment”, which is considered a part of normal aging.

HELPING OTHERS

It’s time to talk about death NewWest Hospice Society invites public to AGM this Saturday By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New West Hospice Society is on a mission to normalize conversations around death and dying. Less than a year after being incorporated, the society is hard at work on a number of fronts. “We have three major goals or mandates from the community – to normalize the talk around death and dying, reach in to people who want to stay at home for end-of-life and support them, and build a hospice residence,” said Kay Johnson, one of the society’s founders. “We are gearing all our activities around those goals.” The society is inviting community members to attend its annual general meeting on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 2 p.m. at Century House. “We are really inviting the community to come and make their views known to give us support and guidance on how they want us to do this work. It isn’t about the board and what they want – it is about what the community needs,” Johnson said. “This happens to everybody, so we want to make sure that we are doing it the way the community

ster School District on a proposal to offer a pilot project in a local elementary school that would help normalize the conversation about death. “Death becomes less of a mystery. There is more comfort in talking about it openly,” said Wendy Johnson, who previously worked on a similar project with Johnson in Langley. “What we found when we ran that project was that kids felt, talking about these issues in their classroom was a safe place with the support of their teachers.They could ask questions that they had been longing to ask, express their feelings, come to identify and name emotions in that safe environment with other kids their age. It’s a very calm, comfortable setting in which to have those conversations.” Future endeavours include an art exhibition by the Arts Council of New Westminster at Anvil Centre in April around the theme of death, dying and loss, a musical event honouring some of the artists who have died and an event next May (Palliative Care Month in B.C.) to acknowledge different types of losses.

sees that it should be done.” Following the annual general meeting, the society’s board of directors will have a strategic planning session to consider community input, determine its priorities and discuss the possibility of partnering with a community organization on a building project that may include a hospice. The society is also hard at work on plans for its first-ever fundraiser on World Hospice Palliative Care Day on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Westminster Quay. River Walk for Hospice includes a walk from the tin soldier to the Wow Westminster public art at Westminster Pier Park, an opportunity to acknowledge loved ones, information about end-of-life, advance care planning and more, as well as entertainment and mascots. “It is going to be a fun event,” Johnson said. “That is one of the things that we are trying to do, in normalizing all this difficult stuff that people don’t talk about.We want to make this a real family-friendly event so families do feel comfortable coming, enjoying themselves and supporting it.” The New West Hospice Society is also working with the New Westmin-

Battle lines drawn in Mann-to-Mann combat NewWest accuses Peterborough of disrespecting tradition, ’Bellies’ Hall of Famers in pre-game ceremonies

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Bugs Bunny said it best, when after being usurped by one of his many adversaries, he spoke: ‘Of course, you realize, this means war.’ Framed under the guise of a national championship, rival lacrosse teams from B.C. and Ontario have annually laced up the gear and armed themselves with sticks to hack, whack and wave just to be the first team to win four games.

I’m disgusted that (Peterborough’s) coach and managers allowed it to happen.

It’s a routine that has been going on for nearly a century, all for a somewhat disheveled golden urn called the Mann Cup. Hijinks like forcing visitors to practise outdoors, late calls to hotel rooms, playing Celine Dion music on the PA system while they warm-up, and impertinent snubs on and off the floor have all been tried in attempts to discombobulate the competition. The battle lines before and after the whistle rarely travel in a straight line, but this week’s latest outrage added a new level of animosity between the Peterborough Lakers and New Westminster Salmonbellies. When Peterborough captain Robert Hope surprised New West captain Curtis Hodgson and won

the pre-game ceremonial faceoff on Monday, it set off new level of brinkmanship and disdain in a series already hip-deep in intensity and emotions. For New West president and general manager Dan Richardson, it broke an unwritten rule: you don’t impose your rivalry into the ceremonial tributes for the game’s greats. From New West’s view, and many who saw it from the stands, Peterborough’s decision to challenge for the ball during the traditional photo op on Monday crossed a line. “That was started by the Peterborough organization and it’s on them, and I’m disgusted that their coach and managers allowed it to happen,” said Richardson. “I’m also upset that the (Canadian Lacrosse Association) is not doing anything about it.They warned both teams and I’m saying, ‘Why are you warning (them)? Fine the team that is doing that and watch the video tape and you’ll see which team moved forward and caused it.” As ’Bellies legends and Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Famers Ed and Wayne Goss presided over the photo op at the centre dot, Lakers captain Robert Hope contested the faux faceoff, winning the ball from New West’s Curtis Hodgson. What was to be a simple, standard means to celebrate past champions now became another space on the battlefield. It looked like it was going to happen again on Tuesday, with Hall of Famers Al Lewthwaite and Eric Cowieson on the floor for the pre-game ceremony, accompanied by Mayor Jonathan Cote.The ’Bellies made it known in no uncertain terms that they would not abide this kind of insult. “This little thing about the fa-

ceoff thing: (Peterborough) decided to disrespect our fans, our organization, but mainly our great lacrosse players who are in the (Canadian Lacrosse) Hall of Fame – they disrespected them. Our guys are not happy,” said Richardson, who over the years both as a player and manager has seen how

far teams will take the behind-thescenes game. “It doesn’t surprise me. I respected that organization in the past but I’ve lost all respect for them, from top to bottom, for pulling that stunt two days in a row.” According to Richardson, the

CLA, which oversees what is a contentious relationship between the two provinces, has decreed that Peterborough will respect the opening ceremony as it is planned, and as it has been done in the past. If there is a defence for what Continued on page 31

Hyacks home sweet home

On the go: New Westminster’s Sebastien Reid, at left, shakes one tackle as he motors for another big gain during Friday’s Homecoming game at Mercer Stadium. The Hyacks finished the preseason by beating Mission 42-14, with Reid scoring three touchdowns. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

There weren’t a lot of touches when it came to offensive plays. But when the New West Hyacks lined up to move the ball, move it they did. The senior AAA football team made it a terrific homecoming game by beating the Mission Roadrunners 42-14 on Friday, putting 375 total yards on the board. Being their final exhibition test before the regular season starts on Sept. 22, New West improved on their past efforts and didn’t have to reveal all their cards. Newcomer Sebastien Reid set the tone with a three-touchdown day.The receiver caught three passes for 134 yards, including one for 65 yards which broke a 7-7 tie late in the first quarter. The Grade 12 transfer student opened the scoring on a 15-yard catch from quarterback Kinsale Philip.To start the second quarter, Reid dashed 70 yards on a punt return to make it 20-7. Just before halftime, running back Sammy Sidhu bolted free for a 67-yard touchdown, then added a two-point con-

vert to give the Hyacks a 28-7 advantage before a boisterous homecoming crowd. In the second half, tight end Finn Stark, on a 15-yard pass from Philip, and Michael Kingsley, on a 17-yard run, rounded out the offence. Converting three majors was Zachery Northgraves. Sidhu finished with 92 yards on a pair of carries, then led the defence with nine tackles. Philip picked up four tackles, while Isaiah James and Evan Nolli counted three apiece. Despite the score, head coach Farhan Lalji said the result was deceiving. “I don’t know if we’re there yet,” he said, adding the squad only ran 30 offensive plays.The kids left the game feeling great, and we scored a lot of points but it never felt like we really got a lot of sustained pressure.We had a handful of bigyardage plays.” The chemistry between Reid and Philip is producing points, while the team has yet to lean on the powerful rushing talents of Sidhu and Broxx Comia.

Ceremonial upset Continued from page 30 some would describe as a childish attempt to knock New West off its game, it was mentioned that the Lakers were the designated home team for Games 3 and 4, apparently providing them with the rationale behind taking the ball. Someone else suggested it was much ado about nothing. Hope offered his version of what happened in a video the club posted onYouTube after Tuesday’s game: “I think they really wanted (the ball), after we took it, or I took it (prior to Game 3) ....There was an exchange of words (Tuesday), they said a couple of things. The gentleman who was doing it (Eric Cowieson), he was real good about it, he just said he wasn’t going to put the ball down so I don’t know what the big stink was about. I wasn’t even going to go for it this time.” Richardson said it’s another example of misdeeds enacted by Ontario’s champions, all in the name of win-at-all-costs. He noted how well both clubs were treated by the City of New West at the Mann Cup press conference, while the last time the two teams met in Peterborough the hosts offered up a gro-

cery plate of under-sized sandwiches in the back of a bar.The ’Bellies goalies were targeted with lazer pointers during the games, while transgressions Richardson recalls in his playing days by other Ontario hosts included heaters turned on above New West’s nets during games in the sweltering summer, and visiting dressing rooms that were freshly painted, forcing the club to prepare while battling oil-based fumes. “It’s a bitter east-west rivalry, and I think Peterborough has taken it to another level. Our guys have to rise above it; we can’t get dragged into the mud as we call it, and (instead) just play our game. Use it as a rallying point, and I’m very confident that our guys will do that,” added Richardson. Oh,Tuesday’s game ended with the Lakers holding on for a 9-7 victory, tying the series up 2-2. While the two clubs battled last night (with the result known past the Record’s deadline), it ensured a Game 6 will be played Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena. A seventh game, if necessary, goes Saturday (7:30 p.m.). It’s advised you find a seat early, because the games begin early. Read more on the series at www. newwestrecord.ca.
