MASSIVE TRAMPOLINE CENTRE

City teen struck with bat

AIRBORNE:

Justin Marti, facility supervisor for Extreme Air Park’s new Sapperton location, gets some air on the trampolines in the 42,000-squarefoot warehouse. The new facility includes trampolines, zero gravity basketball, vertical volleyball, 3D dodgeball, a foam zone, a halfpipe area and laser tag. The trampoline park is part of a burgeoning worldwide trend, with about 700 such facilities now found around the world. The Sapperton facility is located at 109 Braid St., building E.

A New Westminster teen is recovering after being attacked by a stranger with a metal baseball bat in the West End Friday. Four youths were walking home on Eighth Avenue by 20th Street at about 8 p.m., according to police, when a soccer ball belonging to one of them hit a passing vehicle. The vehicle stopped, and a man got out of the passenger side and allegedly chased the youths with a bat, police said. One of the youths, a 14-yearold, was struck with the bat and had to be taken to hospital, according to police. “This is a gross overreaction on the part of the motorist,” media relations officer Sgt. Jeff Scott stated in a press release. The 14-year-old had stayed behind to explain the soccer ball had gotten away from the group by accident and that he hadn’t kicked it, according to his mother, Mary Carnrite. “This man didn’t care! He beat my child with an aluminum bat!!!! All because of a soccer ball...,” Carnrite wrote in a Facebook post. The man hit her son in the upper arm, the hand and the chest Continued on page 8

Planet Lazer had no intention of leaving its little spot on Braid Street. But it had to go. The landlords had bigger plans for the building.Turns out, so did Planet Lazer’s owners, and the new facility has customers jumping for joy. The extreme laser tag business moved across the street into a warehouse so huge a gigantic trampoline facility was added. It’s called Extreme Air Park, and it has 160 tram-

polines strung together over 42,000 square feet. It opened Aug. 29, joining three others in Greater Vancouver. Customers can play zero gravity basketball, vertical volleyball and 3D dodgeball on the trampolines. It also has an air zone, a foam zone and a half-pipe area. A massive viewing area overlooks it all, and, oh yeah, laser tag came across the street too. “It is a pretty massive warehouse. It’s probably bigger than all the other locations,” said facility supervisor Justin Marti, who noted the New West facility is different than the

others in another aspect. “It’s one trampoline floor that’s connected to each other.There’s no walkway that isn’t trampoline. It’s just one massive floor of trampolines. “This one we used all the space we could to fit as many trampolines in there as we could.” According to a 2016 Los Angeles Times article, the trampoline park concept originated in Las Vegas in 2004, growing to about 700 facilities around the world by last year.

EARTHQUAKE DANGER

Winners signing up By Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

An application considered by city council appears to be a sign of things to come at Royal City Centre. Wensley Architecture Ltd. submitted an application to the city on behalf of Winners related to signage it wants to erect at Royal City Centre. In a design rationale submitted to the city as part of the sign variance, Wensley Architecture stated that given the size of the new tenant, in comparison to the four major tenants in the mall (White Spot,WalMart, Save-on-Foods and Shoppers Drug Market), Winners requires similar exterior signage. A staff report on the variances states that the commercial retail unit occupied by Winners does not have

AT RISK Richard McBride Elementary School is a striking building on Richmond Street, looking out over Sapperton and the Fraser River. It’s also at high risk of widespread damage or structural failure in the event of an earthquake – and it’s still awaiting seismic upgrades. The Treasury Board is currently studying the McBride project; it’s not yet known whether the school will be retrofitted or replaced. PHOTO RECORD FILES

McBride school’s future rests with Treasury Board The 88-year-old school has a ‘most vulnerable’ seismic rating, but, because it is a ‘significant project,’ schools with better chances of surviving a major earthquake are ahead of it on the government’s list By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@newwestrecord.ca

B.C.’s Ministry of Education is still assessing whether the aging Richard McBride Elementary School should be replaced or retrofitted, according to New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy. The Sapperton-area school was built in 1929 and has the highest seismic rating – H1.That means it’s the “most vulnerable” and has the highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure. It wouldn’t be reparable after an earthquake. McBride is one of 181 schools across B.C. that still need seismic upgrades. According to the province’s latest update on its seismic mitigation program, McBride remains in the “business case development stage,” while 12 other schools have proceeded to construction.

Four of those 12 schools, however, are H3s and have a lower rating. Asked why a H3-ranked school would take priority over a H1-ranked school, Darcy said it’s because those projects are smaller, can be finished quickly and there’s no question that what’s needed is seismic upgrading. In McBride’s case, the project is so “significant” that it needs to be approved by the Treasury Board. “The information that I have is that one of the issues that’s under review is whether given the cost involved for this school, what makes the most the sense. Is it seismically upgrading it or is it replacing it?” said Darcy. The MLA couldn’t give any estimates on what it would cost for either option. Darcy noted once a capital project – whether it’s a

school or a hospital – meets a certain threshold, it needs the Treasury Board’s approval.

That’s the legacy that we’re dealing with from the previous government …

“Our government is committed to making schools in B.C. safer for students, and we are actively looking at schools in New Westminster,” she said, adding the NDP has committed $3.9 million for seismic upgrading at F.W. Howay Elementary and $106 million for the replacement of NWSS.

“There are far too many schools, including Richard McBride, that are left to be seismically upgraded because only 164 out of 346 in the province have been completed,” she told the Record. “That’s the legacy that we’re dealing with from the previous government. We’ve been in office two months now, so we’re working to change this and to fast track seismic projects.” Jen Arbo, vice-chair of the McBride parent advisory council (PAC), said she gets a lot of questions from parents about the fate of the school. “Especially some of the new parents.They’ve just enrolled their kids in kindergarten or what have you and they’re very excited, and they recognized McBride is an old school, and then they maybe do a little Continued on page 8

street frontage on Sixth Street. On Sept. 18, city council approved variances to the sign bylaw. According to documents submitted to city hall by the architect, “the new tenant signage will add to the life of the neighbouring older buildings and will create a new exciting atmosphere at this important location in the City of New Westminster.” Renderings show Winners’ signage will be erected along the Sixth Avenue side of Royal City Centre and near the mall’s entrance at Sixth and Sixth (near White Spot) and on the standalone sign at the entrance to the mall. A property representative at Royal City Centre would not confirm if Winners was opening in Royal City Centre or comment on the sign application.

Landmark cinemas sold to Belgian ﬁrm Landmark Cinemas, which owns and operates a 10-screen facility at The Shops at New Westminster, has been sold to a Belgiumbased company. The Calgary-based Landmark announced Monday it had been bought by Kinepolis Group NV. According to flandersnews. be, the purchase price is 84.2 million euros, which is approximately C $123.35 million.The deal is subject to Canadian regulatory approval. Landmark was founded in 1965 and operates 44 cinemas with a total of 303 screens in Western Canada and Ontario, according to a Landmark press release.

Kinepolis has 48 cinemas with 500 screens across Europe. “Landmark’s significant investment in recliner seating to create an industryleading movie-going experience aligns directly with similar initiatives by Kinepolis across Europe,” said Landmark chief executive officer Neil Campbell in the release. “Combining with Kinepolis will also provide Canadian movie lovers with greater access to worldclass cinema experience.” Landmark, which is the second-largest cinema chain in Canada, recently completed renovations at its New Westminster cinema. – Grant Granger

Standoff in the ’Boro A man was arrested in Queensborough Monday afternoon after a seven-hour standoff with New Westminster police and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team. Police were called to a residence at the north end of Jardine Street at about 5 a.m. after reports of a man uttering threats. After officers arrived, the suspect barricaded himself in the home and refused to come out, according to police.

He was believed to be armed, and a lengthy standoff ensued, with police making numerous attempts to communicate with the man, according to New West police media relations officer Sgt. Jeff Scott. “From phone calls to loud speakers, we tried different ways to reach out to ensure his safety,” Scott stated in a press release. The suspect came out of the house and was arrested without incident. – Cornelia Naylor

Household incomes increasing in New West

Median household income went up 12 per cent between 2006 and 2016 – more than neighbouring areas Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster’s household income has increased more percentagewise than any of its neighbours, but in actual dollars it still trails most of them, although it is only a few bucks lower than next door in Burnaby. Statistics released by StatsCan last week showed between the 2006 and 2016 censuses, New West’s median household total income went up by 12.1 per cent, going from $57,694 to $64,695.That beats Burnaby at 9.0 per cent, which went from $59,414 to $64,737. But while New

West’s increase in money made by its households beat Surrey (8.9 per cent), Delta (7.4), Coquitlam (6.1) and Richmond (3.1), its dollar value isn’t as high with Delta at $92,300, Surrey $77,494 and Coquitlam $74,383. The number of households in New Westminster grew by 20.9 per cent from 27,045 to 32,705. Amongst the city’s neighbours, that’s substantially less than Surrey (29.6) and Coquitlam (24.4), but more growth than Richmond (19.6), Burnaby (18.2) and Delta (6.8). In New West, 11.7 per cent of households had incomes of over $150,000

By the numbers

$64,695: median household income in 2016 32,705: number of households in New Westminster 11.7: Percentage of households with incomes over $150,000 15.6: Percentage of families with low incomes 47.9: Percentage of households in which the man has the higher income

compared to 16.7 per cent for the rest of Greater Vancouver, 14.4 per cent provincially and 14.7 per cent nationally. StatsCan also revealed in 2015, there were 10,885 Royal City residents (15.6 per cent) earning low income, just slightly more than the 15.5 per cent of 2005. The low-income rate in 2015 for New West kids under 18 was 17 per cent, compared to 14.6 per cent for those 18 to 64, and 18.8 for residents 65 and over. One-parent families had a rate of low income of 25.9 per cent, while couples without children had a rate of 8.6 per cent. Low-income status for a one-person household was pegged in 2015 at $22,460 after tax. For larger households, the amount is adjusted upward by multiplying it by the square root of the household size. Other stats showed in 2015, 65.8 per cent of New Westminster households

contributed to Registered Retirement Savings Plans or Tax-free Savings Accounts. That was higher than the provincial (65.2 per cent) and the federal (65.2) rates. The median total income of couples in New West was $89,600, which was higher than the median for Canada ($87,688) and sub-

stantially higher than next door in Burnaby ($77,139). The higher-income partner earned a median of $59,305 while the lower-income partner was $26,789. In 47.9 per cent of couples a man had the higher income, 33.4 per cent had fairly equal incomes, and in 18.7 per cent it was the

woman earning more. New West’s percentage for a man having the higher income (47.9) is similar to Burnaby (47.7), Richmond (45.8) and Vancouver (45.1).The situation, however, is quite different in Delta (52.3), Port Moody (52.0), Surrey (51.4) and Coquitlam (51.2).

Opinion OUR VIEW

It’s past time to get moving on McBride

You inherit the good and the bad when you are a new government replacing one that has been in office for 16 years. The good is fairly obvious – a whopping surplus in the bank.The bad is often less obvious and rolls out over time. Take, for example, an issue that is close to our hearts here in New Westminster: seismic upgrading

of schools. The decision to rebuild or retrofit Richard McBride Elementary to make it safer in case of an earthquake apparently currently rests with the Treasury Board. Given that the Ministry of Education, when the B.C. Liberals were in power, said the decision was to be finalized in spring of 2016, we’re now in overtime. And overtime, where the potential for

loss of life is concerned, is not a good place to be. The 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Mexico this past week should, once again, remind us all that we cannot keep putting off getting our schools fixed. Videos of Mexican citizens trying to rescue children from a crumbled school are heart-wrenching. The death toll is still growing and will include some of

those schoolchildren. Earthquake zones do not recognize national borders, and we are well aware here in B.C. that we are overdue for the big one. If a 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck here, we suspect McBride would suffer severe damage, if not collapse in areas. Unfortunately, McBride is in a bit of a catch-22. The best financial option is

probably to simply build a new school. In 2016, an upgrade was estimated to cost $18 million.While a new school would cost much more, it would be built to modern earthquake standards and provide a modern and better learning environment with a potential for muchneeded community-use space. No one can fault the B.C.

NDP for inheriting a to-do list of important items that deserved more attention. But that was then and this is now. We need the McBride decision now. Even if the Treasury Board gave the green light for a new school tomorrow, it would be years before one was built. Let’s not gamble with nature or our children’s lives.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Balancing budget and promises The claim by B.C. Green Party leader AndrewWeaver that his party could take credit for two key NDP campaign promises not being included in last week’s budget “update” provides yet another glimpse into the evolving nature of this province’s ruling alliance. Weaver bluntly claimed the fact there was no sign of the $10-a-day-daycare pledge or of the promised $400 renters’ “rebate” in the NDP’s first stab at a financial plan was because the Greens oppose both measures. But that claim conveniently masks a fact closer to the truth: the NDP government simply can’t afford to pay for these two programs unless it wanted to break another key campaign promise: to deliver balanced budgets.That the NDP let Weaver get away with such lofty rhetorical claims was telling. Giving the impression that he had some impact on the budget conveniently assists building a narrative both the NDP and the Greens favour: that minority governments “work” and are not in danger of always falling apart. Both parties want to leave this impression because both think it will gradually bolster the case for changing to a voting system that uses some sort of proportional representation. NDP finance minister Carole James insisted to reporters after her budget presentation that she was still committed to eventually implementing both the daycare and rebate pledges, but it’s hard to see how she’s going to do that unless government revenues increase significantly.

The daycare plan would have cost $175 million for the rest of this year alone as it would have begun to be implemented.That cost would rise to $280 million next fiscal year, and a whopping $400 million the following year.The renters’ scheme is pegged at $135 million this year and $265 million next year. James is projecting a modest $228-million surplus next year, but using the NDP’s own math shows that would be more than wiped out by the costs of these two programs. Combined, they come in at $545 million next year and $665 million the following year. The programs would wipe out that projected surplus plus the $300 million forecast allowance as well. Theoretically, the NDP government’s decision to annually raise the carbon tax and to no longer make it revenue “neutral” may provide new money to start paying for these programs. But that won’t happen for several years at least. Until then, I expect the Green Party to continue to claim they are responsible for not allowing that expensive daycare plan and renter rebate scheme to ever come to reality. But the political reality is something far more common and traditional: the sitting government simply doesn’t have the money to pay for those programs. No amount of political rhetoric flowing from the Greens changes that, but it does add to the impression that there is a bunch of horse trading going on in a minority government. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

With the deadline for Iraqi forces to leave Kuwait only 10 hours away on Jan. 14, four elementary school kids skipped school and took to the streets in uptown New Westminster to protest for peace. As Canada teetered on the brink of war with Iraq during the Gulf War, Herbert Spencer Elementary School students Katie Doyle, Brie McInnes, Sarah Friesen and Jennifer Talson drew up a colourful banner proclaiming “Make Love, Not War.” Teachers and parents turned a blind eye to their truancy, and they marched from school to the Record offices on Sixth Street to deliver a one-page statement of peace.

Recycling isn’t really that difficult, folks

Dear Editor: Putting in my two cents’ worth regarding the Aug. 31 article about recycling (Don’t waste your chance for a greener planet): I thought it was well written, informative and easy to understand, but I didn’t think to respond in any way until I saw the negative responses published in the Sept. 7 Don’t people paper. Firstly, glass help each other has been out anymore? banned from recycling bins in New West for a number of years. My understanding is that it is a safety hazard if glass winds up broken and combined with other materials in the recycling bin. Plastic bags have also been banned for a number of years, but the newer labels on the recycling bins do make it easier to understand this. It appears that Michelle Tupper is not familiar with the transit system in New West; there are buses that go to McBride that are close to the

recycling depot. I take the C4 over there every one or two weeks, and I get smiles when people realize what I am doing. I also see people taking big bags of empties on the bus. Regarding mobility-challenged people not able to take recyclables to the depot: ask a friend or neighbour. Don’t people help each other out anymore? Transit schedules are available at the library, and there is a lot of recycling info at city hall in the engineering department. Lisa Finnigan, New Westminster

Dear Editor: Myself being born and raised in New Westminster (Sapperton), now living in Langley. Downtown needs a waterfront dock for pleasure boaters to stop. I would love to visit but have no place to stop for the day and spend my time and money. It’s great that you have the Q2Q ferry. Now you need to make New Westminster a destination for recreational boaters. Joe Williams, Langley

News Jump your way to ﬁtness Teen attacked with bat

Continued from page 1 The International Association of Trampoline Parks was formed in 2012. Marti pointed out all the activity means the business has to keep a lot of staff around at all times to make sure everyone’s playing safe. The former football, lacrosse and rugby player who grew up in the White Rock area, doesn’t just run the place, he also frequently participates playing dodge-

ball with his friends. “It’s definitely up my alley,” said Marti, who noted even his non-athletic friends have a blast. “You don’t even know you’re exercising when you’re jumping. “It’s really a good way to take the kids these days off the computers and off the video games to do some activities and meet some new people.” And to keep tech geeks stoked there’s a fun feature.

“Every 30 minutes at this location we turn on the black lights in which our green pads glow, and anything light coloured that you’re wearing glows,” said Marti. ! Extreme Air Park and Planet Lazer are located at 109 Braid St., Building E. Website: newwest.extremeair park.com. Phone: 604-5150716.

Fast facts: What is the Treasury Board? The Treasury Board is responsible for developing and reviewing the provincial government’s economic and fiscal policies. Under the Financial Administration Act, the Treasury Board acts as a committee of the executive council in matters related to the following: accounting policies and practices; government management practices and systems; government financial management and control, including expenditures and assets; evaluation of government programs as to economy, efficiency and effectiveness; government personnel management and other matters. The Treasury Board has the power to require government bodies to have its approval before making commitments to capital expenditures. It also can establish requirements for capital plans, business cases, requests for approval, tendering and procurement documents, progress reports, completion reports and post-expenditure reports. The Treasury Board has four branches: deputy secretary to treasury board, economic forecasting and analysis branch, fiscal planning and estimates, and performance and budgeting office. Finance Minister Carole James sits as chair.

Continued from page 1 before witnesses intervened and the man got back into the car and left the area, according to Carnrite. Her son suffered bruising but no broken bones, she said. “He’s lucky he didn’t suffer internal damage,” Carnrite told the Record. “The doctors are actually quite surprised given the force that was used.” The teen is “OK,” according to his mom, but recovering from both physical and emotional trauma. “Mentally, he’s struggling,” she said. “He’s angry. He’s been traumatized, and now he’s at the point where it’s ‘Why me? Why did this happen to me?’” Police are looking for a black four-door sedan. The suspect is described as white and bald. He was wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans at the time of the incident, according to police. Anyone with information is asked to call the New Westminster Police Department at 604-525-5411.

The city will explore whether public art can pretty up a staircase on Front Street. The staircase, dubbed by some folks to be “the stairway to nowhere” as it doesn’t yet connect to the building at 642 Columbia St., cost $200,000 and was part of the Front Street mews and parkade-removal projects.When the city decided to remove the western portion of the parkade, it needed to replace the building’s emergency exit. While council members were surprised by the scale of the structure, Mayor Jonathan Cote said it’s what needed to be built from a building code perspective. He’s pleased that the city’s public art advisory committee will consider how the structure can potentially better fit in with the city’s vision for the Front Street mews. On Monday, city coun-

cil approved a recommendation that the fire escape stairs be enhanced through a combination of design/ public art intervention. “I can’t count myself in the fan camp of this staircase,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue, chair of the public art advisory committee. “I did admit that to the public art committee when they all spoke glowingly in favour of the staircase. I have to admit I was pretty inspired by some of the ideas that they came forward

with with regards to how to encourage this piece of infrastructure to look more imaginative.” In response to concerns about the appearance of the fire escape, staff considered removing the staircase and using it at another location on Front Street, and enhancing the structure’s appearance. Staff has been exploring preliminary options such as decorative metal screens, artistic projections and lighting.

New city plan sets out a ‘roadmap’ for the future tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The ink isn’t dry on the City of New Westminster’s official community plan and potential changes are being pondered. On Monday, city council gave third reading to the official community plan amendment bylaw, capping a three-year process that included numerous studies and countless opportunities for public input.The OCP includes six elements: visions; goals; policies; actions; guidelines; and the land-use designation map. “It’s really one of the most important planning documents a community has,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “It really is the roadmap or the guide that the city has on how it’s going to evolve into the future.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone said staff did a “heroic job” of distilling 7,000 pages of documents including studies and public feedback into a cohesive plan that tackles a variety of policies, actions and land uses in New West. With some residents asking the city to do one thing and others seeking the opposite,

he said it’s impossible for everyone to get exactly what they want in an OCP. “An OCP plan and a land-use plan that talks about increasing density is not opening the doors to growth. It is not opening the floodgates and causing density to happen in the city,” he said. “The density is going to happen. It is going to happen because the region is growing. … It allows us to plan for that growth.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr commended council for its ability to compromise. “It was a lot of give and take,” he said. “That’s why some people may think we haven’t gone far enough and others may think that we have gone too far.” Some council members and residents would have preferred the OCP designate more areas of the city for ground-oriented housing forms such as townhouses and rowhouses. Residents of some areas of the city where that was proposed petitioned council to leave that out of the OCP. “The plan definitely does identify some new areas in our city to really help try and encourage that type of

development,” Cote said. “Having said that, I will be the first to recognize that, did we achieve as much as even myself personally might have hoped to have seen in terms of opening up new areas for that type of housing? No. I think we may have fallen a bit short in that regard.” Cote said an official community plan is about trying to build consensus. “The OCP should not be about forcing down landuse designations on a significant majority of people in a neighbourhood who are not willing to go there,” he said. “Having said all of that, I think that conversation needs to continue.” After unanimously approving third reading of the official community plan amendment bylaw, council voted 5-2 in favour of a motion put forward by Johnstone to direct staff to explore additional locations that could be designated as residential infill townhouse as part of a two-year townhouse and rowhouse monitoring program, and include the outcome in a proposed land-use designation map update.

NASA recruits students to make 3D replica CG Masters School of 3D Animation andVFX in NewWest had 12 weeks to make Mars Rover miniature

By Grant Granger

ggranger@newwestrecord.ca

Nicholas Boughen is a space geek and tech geek, so when NASA called asking him to build something, he quickly responded, “Hell, yeah!” Boughen is the co-founder and director of education at the CG Masters School of 3D Animation & VFX at The Shops at New Westminster Station. One of his mentors and friends is noted 3D and lighting artist William Vaughan, who lives in Orlando, Florida. Andrew Kral, the project development manager for the Kennedy Space Center’s visitor complex, went to Vaughan looking for someone to build a radio-controlled, one-tenth scale model of NASA’s Mars Rover design concept vehicle, and it needed to be done in 12 weeks. “I got a call saying, ‘These guys’ve got a crazy-tight deadline.They need this done, can you get it done?’” said Boughen. “Deadlines are not new to us. I’ve worked in film and TV for years. Deadlines are the line of death, and you have to find the way to make that. “William knows if you want something done, you go to somebody that can get it done with no nonsense. When you work with Hollywood clients for many years, you know how to get stuff done.” But this wasn’t Hollywood. It was the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. And failure was not an option. “I’ve been a space geek since I was a little kid. It’s

a dream to do anything for NASA; I watched on TV when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon (in 1969),” said Boughen, who turns 64 Monday. “What’s happened is they’re looking at somebody who is in Grade 5 right now who is going to set foot on Mars. So they’re building this whole Mars exhibit, and at the same time were in the process of building a concept vehicle for the Mars Rover. “I’m looking at this and it’s amazing. I don’t have time for this. And then I realized if I bring my students in on it they can be doing 3D modelling on it as well and we can split up the work.” So he walked into the classroom and asked, “Who here would like to do a side gig for NASA?” That was a big ask considering the students were in the middle of an intense simulated film production. “But it has to be a side project, you still have to get all this stuff done.Your deadlines are still totally hard deadlines,” he tells them. Five students – Lena Engel, Brooke Sanders, Anna Glushkova, Kiera Chycoski and Stephen Tran – put up their hands and volunteered. “There were a few students who were, ‘meh, nah,’ and I didn’t understand that. But five of them were like, ‘Yeah, we’re all in,’” said Boughen. “I was nervous to say I wanted to do it, but it wasn’t really an opportunity you couldn’t pass up,” said Chycoski. “I didn’t think it was real

at first,” said Sanders. “I knew I had to work on it. It’s because it’s NASA, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime type of deal.” All they had to work from was a bunch of pictures of the prototype. First, they bought a radio-controlled truck and took off the body

and used the chassis as the base.Then they divvied up sections of the vehicle to replicate. Boughen said problem solving is the main job skill in his biz. He loves the challenge and accepts the high degree of trial and error required to pull it off. “You

have to know there’s going to be a certain percentage of failure, and just work with it.” He tells students, “The skills and discipline that you learn from achieving a difficult goal are often more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.”

There were long hours of design on the computer for all of them.The 3D printer got a workout too. For instance, the wheels, which Boughen was in charge of replicating, required 150 hours on the printer.That’s Continued on page 14

NASA project a ‘fantastic success’ Continued from page 13 six days and six hours. “It was a lot of the pressure that was the most challenging. A lot of ‘I want this to be perfect,’” said Sanders. “It was a pretty intense (film) project we were doing, so it was a little bit hard to find the time afterward. But all in all, I would say it was worth squeezing in a few extra hours to get this done.” It didn’t come without some frustrations. “Some of the modelling was more complicated than we’d done before, so it made the (computer) programs crash,” said Chycoski. “So after doing a bunch of work and then losing it, that was never a great time.” A week before the shipping deadline, Boughen suffered neck and chest pain during kickboxing class. By the time the ambulance arrived he was all right, but the paramedics took him to the hospital anyway. An EKG revealed he’d had a heart attack.While awaiting an angiogram, and with his cardiologist’s permission,

Boughen hooked his iPhone up to program the printer remotely from his hospital bed.The angiogram revealed a narrowing in one of his arteries and the doctors fixed it with a stent. Then it was back to doing the finishing paint job on the Rover in time for it to be shipped. “Deadline is always absolute, and it’s one of the hardest things to teach, actually.” Although sad to see it go, the relief wasn’t only about the long hours being done. “The hardest part was not telling anyone because we had to keep it a secret until it was revealed by NASA, and it’s hard not to tell everyone it was a project for NASA,” said Chycoski. Said Sanders, “At first, some of my friends didn’t really believe me, but after I showed them the post on Facebook it was really exciting for everyone.” It was in Orlando, too, when the replica arrived. “The NASA guys were so excited when they got it,” said Boughen. “They had

video of when they opened the box and took it out, but they said they couldn’t post it to us because it was filled with expletives.” But Kral’s email to Boughen wasn’t. “Please, pass on to your team that worked on the rover that it was a fantastic success,” he wrote. “The Rover’s an amazing and awesome addition.We truly appreciate all of your hard work and now everybody wants one,” said Therrin Protze, chief operating officer for DNC Parks and Resorts at Kennedy Space

Center. They also sent along photos of the Rover’s reveal. “Seeing the picture of the little tiny one we made next to the real big one was real exciting,” said Chycoski. Sometimes Boughen, the space geek, contemplates the possibility the replica might inspire a Grade 5 visitor to the Kennedy Space Center to become one of the astronauts to drive a Rover on Mars.That’s an event he plans he believes he’ll see in his lifetime, just like he did watching a man on the moon.

St. Barnabas Anglican Church is inviting residents to tune in to the third session of the New West Community Choir. The “no barrier” choir is open to anyone, regardless of their singing ability. It meets for 10 Tuesdays from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. starting Sept. 19, but new choristers are welcome to join for the first few weeks. “We had a great season last year,” said Rev. Emilie Smith. “We are looking forward to one more session starting on the 19th.” The community choir is open to people from all walks of life, cultures, faiths and abilities. No one will be turned away because they think they can’t sing, and auditions aren’t required. “We had a grand time singing on Canada Day at Queen’s Park, and we look

forward to singing for the homelessness coalition’s fall fundraiser in October, but mostly we sing for our own joy and pleasure,” Smith wrote in an email to the Record. “Singing together nourishes the heart and strengthens the soul. Good medicine!” For more information, call 604-526-6646 or email stbarna@telus.net. BE KIND The United Way is kicking off its fall fundraising campaign on a kind note.

United Way Day kicks off the organization’s fall fundraising drive, which raises money to support children,

families and seniors and to help build strong communities.

A New Westminster actor is onstage in the Canadian premiere of the British play Posh. Posh, by playwright Laura Wade, takes the audience behind the scenes of a meeting of The Riot Club, an elite and secret dinner society made up of 10 of the “brightest, boldest and best” students at Oxford in present-day England. New West’s Cole Howard appears in their ranks as Toby. Needless to say, the play doesn’t present a particularly flattering view of the privileged and powerful – and director Allyson Fournier is excited to be part of this staging by Fighting Chance Productions. “Posh is fantastically written, wickedly funny, and gut-wrenchingly shocking,” she says in a press release. “I’m delighted to bring this piece to North America in our current climate; it’s never been so poignant and

Community Hospital auxiliary needs thrift shop volunteers Last year alone, the group purchased $110,000 in hospital equipment Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary hopes volunteers will come to its aid so it can continue to provide assistance to the hospital. Last year, the Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary was able to purchase $110,000 of much-needed equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital. The New toYou secondhand store on East Columbia Street, as well as the lotto booth, book cart and gift shop at Royal Columbian Hospital are the venues where volunteers raise funds for the hospital. Marlene Braidwood, president of the Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary, said the goal is to increase the amount it’s able to donate to the hospital this year. But in order to make that happen, the auxiliary is in “desperate” need of more volunteers at the New toYou thrift store.

“We are always in need of volunteers. Right now we are desperately in need of volunteers,” Braidwood said of the thrift store, where the majority of the auxiliary members volunteer. “We are just down in people right now.We are OK in all our other venues, but this shop is desperate.” Volunteers at the New to You thrift store accept, sort and price donations, put them in their assigned areas of the store, ring up sales on the cash register, tidy the store and greet customers. Most volunteers are at the store one day a week, either for a full shift or for a few hours in the morning or afternoon. “At this point we will take what we can get,” said assistant manager Susan Pearson. “We had a few days there where we had to close at 2:30 or 3 p.m.You know how annoying it is when you go to a shop and it should be open and it’s closed.” A shortage of volunteers means the Royal Columbi-

an Hospital Auxiliary isn’t able to accomplish some of its goals with the thrift store, which is located at 416 East Columbia St. “We need more time to update the store,” Pearson said. “I find that some things are not working and we have to have time to redesign it. If you are constantly pricing clothes you don’t have time to do that.” The auxiliary aims to update the shop and make it look fresher as a way of building business. “We are getting a lot more younger women coming in. It used to be word of mouth.You’d get a lot of retirees, retired nurses and that coming in. Now we are getting more residents,” Pearson said. “It’s a great thing.” Because the shop is run by volunteers, all proceeds go to the hospital.That also means the thrift store is able to keep prices low because it’s not paying staff. “The prices have gotten so high in the stores,”

said Pearson, who’s noticed an increase in the number of people shopping at thrift stores. “Our prices, on clothing especially, are ridiculously low.We are probably at least half of what the other big thrift stores are because they have to pay staff. Staff is your biggest expense.” In addition to socializing with the other volunteers, Pearson says it’s rewarding to know their efforts are appreciated. “They had us come over to the hospital one day,” she said. “One of the doctors in the lab showed us this machine – he said, ‘You wouldn’t believe how many lives you have saved with this machine.’” Born at Royal Columbian Hospital and raised in New Westminster, Pearson is happy to be able to contribute to the community. “I want to give back to the community that I love,” she said. “The fact that I have great fun with the store and other volunteers is a bo-

nus.” For more information or

TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT UPCOMING CHAMBER EVENTS OR TO BECOME A MEMBER, PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE The New West Chamber believes that the entrepreneurial spirit is something you can have and foster at any age and in any circumstance. That’s why we offer two special membership rates for individuals who we think can use a bit of extra support: students and seniors. When you are busy juggling the costs of higher education or have left full- time professional employment, that doesn’t mean you suddenly stop thinking about business, and certainly doesn’t mean that you aren’t in need of business networking. In fact, results from Statistics Canada’s 2014 Survey on Financing and Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises show that people under 30 and over 65 accounted for 26.5% of all Canadian small business enterprises. In New Westminster, individuals aged 20-29 and over 65 make up almost 30% of our city’s 71,000 residents. Statistics are showing that seniors are healthier and better educated that ever before. In many corporations, policies are in place to ensure retirement at a set age; many would-be retirees are looking for new opportunities because they’re not quite ready to slow down all the way. Mentorship, home-based businesses, and consulting are three common places they end up as professional individuals. In support of students and seniors in our community, we offer a reduced rate for Chamber membership: the first year’s fee is $115.33, and then just $70 per year gives access to all of the same benefits we offer our other classifications of members: free monthly networking events, discounted rates on Leadership Dinners and Women of New Westminster events, access to the boardroom for meetings, a profile on the newly-revamped Chamber website, as well as access to the comprehensive benefits program offered by BC Chamber. To become a member as a student, you simply need to show proof of registration at a post-secondary institution. While studying, we are sure you will see how the Chamber supports and advocates for the business community. Once you’ve graduated, we’ll help you convert to a regular membership so that you can continue to experience the professional support the Chamber offers.

Red canoe holds many stories of adventure Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

There are a number of artifacts in the local museum that are special due to the broad scope of the story connected to them. One of these is a large red canoe that has been on display in various locations in New Westminster over the years, and today can be seen at the Fraser River Discovery Centre atWestminster Quay. For many years, this striking 20-foot, v-stern freight Chestnut canoe was a featured exhibit at the New Westminster Museum on Royal Avenue, where visitors marvelled at its size and stout construction.They read the captions and wondered at the extensive expedition of which it had been a major component. To emphasize this great canoe’s connection to the Fraser River, it was put it on display at theWestminster Quay Public Market where it again became a real focus of attention along with the information panels outlining its story. And now, through cooperation between the city’s museum and the Fraser River Discovery Centre, this canoe is a prominent exhibit at the Discov-

ery Centre, an institution that strives to highlight the importance of the Fraser River.This large bright red boat is right at home as part of the river’s story. But what makes this canoe important? In 1967, when Canada was celebrating the 100th anniversary of Confederation, four men were part of an innovative and educational project that

They honoured the early explorers … would take courage and tremendous effort, while drawing on an array of historical links.These men, paddling the canoe and assisted by a land crew, would follow the routes of explorers and First Nations travellers across the continent from NewWestminster to Montreal. The expedition was known at the Eastward Ho Canoe Expedition, and those involved did what they set out to do.They travelled across Canada by rivers, streams, lakes, and portages and in so doing they honoured the early explorers

who sought out the routes in centuries past, the First Nations who in most cases had sought out routes for themselves and then shared that information, and of course their country, Canada, in its 100th year. And now in Canada’s 150th year, this adventurous expedition has once again been remembered through its incredible story and the legacies of those who made up the team that travelled from B.C. to Quebec.The Eastward Ho team in 1967 was Ralph Brine, Dave Chisholm, Don MacNaughton, and Jim Reid, along with the land party of Bill Gifford and Lorna and Edo Hemmes. As you take in the exhibits at the Fraser River Discovery Centre atWestminster Quay, be sure to take a moment to look at the Eastward Ho canoe. Search references online for articles about this expedition, seek out the local community TV presentation from 1992 on the event’s 25th anniversary, and read the story in Canada’s Forgotten Highway by Ralph Brine.This is a great Canadian account with strong Fraser River and NewWestminster connections.

Travel back to another time with historical mysteries Kris Kaila

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

If you enjoy following clues, meeting shady characters in even shadier places and don’t mind tripping over a dead body or two, may I recommend some historical mysteries? Travel to another time and place and a different way of solving crimes – before DNA. Historical mysteries can be gritty like contemporary suspense thrillers, or on the cozy side. Here are some of my favourite series that are more in the middle. We start off on a lighter note with Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce series. Flavia, at 11 years old, knows she wants to be a chemist and has a passion for poi-

sons and a mind for solving mysteries. In the first book, The Sweetness at the Bottom Pie, when Flavia finds a dead body she is more delighted than shocked. She uses science to solve murders and has no filter to stop her from saying or doing what she thinks is right.The balance of witty humour with the mix of Nancy Drew meets Midsomer Murders makes this one of my go-to series. Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs series has gorgeous covers, but the content inside is realistic to what men and women endured post-First World War. In the first book, Maisie Dobbs, we meet the former nurse-turned-private detective. Many of the cases in this series, including the one

in this novel, centre around the social effects that men and women are going through now that the Great War has ended. Characterization can be prioritized over plot, yet by the end of the book it all ties together for a satisfying read. Another series that excels on the witty humour is Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher series. Set in Australia during the Jazz Age, Cocaine Blues is a fun read but does handle some heavier issues such as drugs, sex and politics of the time. As the series progresses and Phryne goes on further adventures with her crew of misfits, Greenwood continues to keep the issues realistic.

It’s time to shed your delusion of separateness DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

The primary root cause of pretty well every problem – personal or global – is the false belief in a separate self: the illusion that we are completely separate, disconnected individuals, separate from all others, our and others’ families, our neighbours, our and others’ communities, our nations and other nations, life on this planet and Earth itself. The truth that this delusion obscures is that we are all connected; we are community, humankind, nature,

You are bigger than you think you are. life and the planet; and we are each responsible for the health of our neighbour, coworker and classmate, our community, humankind, all life and our planet. If you remembered your shared responsibility and connection with every child, animal and adult walking or riding on our streets, you would drive with care, never speed and never text while driving. If you saw the abused, neglected and marginalized in our society as your brothers, sisters and neighbours, you would no longer see them as others and you would want to help. If you recognized that every person you see or

meet is someone’s loved one, child, parent, brother or best friend, you would agree that each is just as important and valuable as you and those you love.You would be slower to anger and slower to harm. If you recognized that the people with whom you live and work have their own feelings, thoughts and opinions that, though different from yours, seem just as real and true to them, you might take the time to listen and the effort to understand.Together you might rewrite your separate stories with the truth that lies in between. If you recognized the impact on the people around you, you might choose not to take a street drug that may kill you. If you saw yourself as a beautiful but imperfect living being like everyone else, you would be kinder to yourself and take responsibility for your well-being. If you realized how your personal health and that of everyone you love is dependent on a healthy, stable environment and clean air and water, you would take big and small steps to protect your planet. When we are fearful, down, angry or stressed, our sense of self contracts. We feel disconnected.When stressed and anxious, we feel overwhelmed and we retreat.When depressed, we withdraw.When angry, we attack. Our thoughts are narrowed by our emotions, and we trick ourselves into thinking we are all alone in an unfriendly world. Others SALE ON NOW! UP TO

Mann Cup loss but a win for ’Bellie alumnus NewWest falls 4-2 as Ontario champs claim fifth Mann Cup in 14 years

Cold ending: The New Westminster Salmonbellies suffered a 14-10 loss in Game 6 of the Mann Cup championship, ending the team’s pursuit of a 25th national title. At left, New West players Nathan Stewart, Drew Belgrave, Joel McCready, Mike Donaldson, Mike Messenger and Quinn MacKay line up for the post-game ceremony; below at right, Peterborough goalie Evan Kirk hoists the trophy while teammate and ex-junior Salmonbellie Curtis Dickson celebrates; below left, tourney MVP Shawn Evans eludes Justin Goodwin’s check in Game 6.

He isn’t the first Dickson in the family household to earn a Mann Cup ring. But Curtis Dickson’s achievement on Friday, where he played a pivotal role in the Peterborough Lakers’ 14-10 victory over the New Westminster Salmonbellies, involved the longer route. The Port Coquitlam native achieved what his father Derek did 36 years earlier, capturing a Mann Cup title with Queen’s Park Arena as the backdrop. Seven years before Curtis was born, his father did the exact same thing, only winning it with New West. “I know how badly he wanted it and how badly I wanted it for him,” said Derek, a retired member of the New Westminster Police Department. “When he was little he’d hold the (Mann Cup) ring but after a while he wouldn’t touch it, maybe a superstitious thing. But we had it out (after Friday), so I guess it’s all OK now.” Although the father’s playing career ended three years before Curtis was born – and saw two other unsuccessful battles for a Mann Cup, including a loss to Peterborough in 1982 in six games – there was no doubt the championship meant a lot to both. “It’s extra special. My dad’s in the crowd and he won a Mann Cup back in ’81. He was texting me this morning and I think he may have been more nervous than I was,” said Curtis. For the six-foot-two righthander, beating the Western Lacrosse Association champion ’Bellies in six games was about perseverance and endurance, especially after the host team won the first two games. “(New West) came ready to go right off the hop, obviously got a 2-0 lead but we knew we had to weather the storm,” said Dickson.

PHOTOS JENNIFER GAUTHIER

When he was little he’d hold the ring but after a while he wouldn’t touch it...

“They’re not WLA champs for nothing.They’re a great team, and every game pretty much went down to the wire. We learned how we had to play after the first two games, and we were able to squeak four games in a row.” The margin for Peterborough in their four consecutive wins seemed to grow as the squad became accustomed to New West’s game plan and adjusted to their surroundings – including the iconic wooden floor.Turning their situation around wasn’t easy but followed a similar path that led them

to a Major Series Lacrosse playoff crown a few weeks earlier. “It was just getting into a flow, right, get in a rhythm and keep the momentum.We had lots of momentum after a couple of wins, getting the series even.We were able to roll off four straight, and it feels pretty sweet,” he said. After New West won the first two games, the Lakers revived their playoff momentum – and a

run that saw them go 17-1 in the regular season – with three victories in three nights. Dickson scored the game winner each time. That set the table for Game 6, where the ’Bellies were in mustwin mode, and Peterborough was hungry to finish it. When the series ended, the PoCo minor lacrosse product scored 14 times, tying New West’s Kevin Crowley for the most goals

in the six-game series, and set up 13 others. “It means the world to me. It’s unbelievable,” Curtis said. “Especially (after losing) two years ago in Victoria. Going down 2-0, there was no doubt in our minds.We just plugged away and this is probably the greatest moment in my lacrosse career.” It wasn’t the same route that Continued on page 33

Hyacks eager to unleash offence in Island road test Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

A two-hour boat ride will precede and follow it, but it’s what happens in the game that could tell observers if the New Westminster Hyacks have arrived or not. For the first game of the regular season the No. 2-ranked Hyacks venture to Victoria on Friday to play the Mount Douglas Rams and measure themselves against another highly skilled high school football program. Coming off a bye week after three exhibition matches, head coach Farhan Lalji said he feels while they enter the regular season in very healthy shape, they are also hungry

to get a game under their belts. “We practised twice and had two days working out and watching film,” said Lalji of the past week. “It seems like we haven’t had a lot of game action, but it was good to take a step back and not focus on an opponent and just get back to basics.” Preparation for the Rams hasn’t been lacking, however.Watching film of last week’s Rams’ game, where they fell 2414 to defending B.C. champion Terry Fox, Lalji saw a squad committed to its system – a well-coached rival that will use last year’s 45-19 New West win as motivation. Most impressive, Lalji said, is the Rams’ line, which will present a timely test.

“They are a good team. (Mount Doug) is good up front, they are very deep at linemen and linebacker positions, so they can cause you problems. Because of their quarterback injury, they have a different look – before you had to defend the athlete and now it’s more defend against the system.” Mt. Doug’s star quarterback, Gideone Kremler, will miss the early portion of the season while recuperating from knee surgery, but the Island squad does have suitable players at the key positions. Grade 12 Ben Pierik, a six-foot-four running back, has scored three times and carried for 145 yards over two games. When it comes to offence, New West has

displayed just a portion of its potential in a pair of exhibition wins, with receiver Sebastien Reid scoring three times in their victory over Mission on Sept. 8. Able and eager to do their part are dynamic carriers Sammy Sidhu and Broxx Comia, while quarterback Kinsale Philip continues to gain in confidence. “He’s coming along,” said Lalji. “(Philip) needs to be a little more committed with his fakes, but he has shown he can do the job on the field. Our system relies a lot on misdirection and fakes, so it’s a matter of tweaking and keeping the offence moving smoothly.” The kickoff is 3 p.m. Friday in Victoria.

Bandits go with Byrne

If there was any drama entering Monday’s National Lacrosse League draft, it wasn’t manufactured by the Buffalo Bandits. Holders of the first overall pick, the Bandits’ intentions were an open secret – they had a spot reserved for an elite lefthander, and New Westminster’s Josh Byrne just happened to be the top-ranked eligible player. Buffalo made it official by calling Byrne’s name at the draft in Oakville, Ont. The second-year forward with the Burnaby Lakers had impressed upon NLL scouts

and coaches just how ready he was for the pro circuit by ripping up the pro field Major Lacrosse League as a rookie with the Chesapeake Bayhawks a few months earlier. “You dream about this as a little kid.To be even mentioned with some of the names out here, it’s an honour,” Byrne said in an interview Monday on NLLTV. The 23-year-old wrapped up his debut in the MLL, establishing a new pro field league record for rookies with 39 goals. Junior ’Bellies Drew Belgrave was selected 15th overall by the Georgia Swarm.

Continued from page 32 Derek and the ’Bellies took in 1981, but the dominos fell the same way. “We had a struggle (in 1981), there was some turmoil and I think a coaching change along the way, but we actually snuck into the playoffs, maybe in our last game,” he recalls of a team that finished 10-13-1 in the regular season. “In the playoffs we just caught lightning in a bottle.We had great goaltending, great leadership and I think we only lost once that whole playoff run. It was one of those rides you

get and you just hold on.” That ’Bellies lineup included Hall-of-Famers Dave Durante,Wayne Goss and goalie Rod Banister, and current WLA commissioner Paul Dalmonte. Dickson finished second in team scoring. In the playoffs, they rolled with an 8-1 record to claim the provincial title, and swept Brampton 4-0 for the Mann Cup. It gave him a great appreciation for what the two teams this year endured. “It’s the road to get there, that’s what is so difficult. It’s

a real test of the players endurance, but to end the year as the only team with that win, it’s really special.” While Curtis’ plans for next year – and a possible return to the WLA, where Maple Ridge owns his rights – have yet been determined, Derek said he’s still a Salmonbellie at heart. “We have a very strong alumni association. ... After it was over, I think someone asked me if I’d be back (supporting the team), and I kinda laughed. I support (New West), but family always comes first.”

DEFAZIO, Victoria Elizebeth (nee Bunting)

July 14, 1951 - August 30, 2017 Dawn broke and the sun shone. A five year battle with breast cancer lost. Left to mourn Soul mate Gerry, Daughter Dede, Step-daughter Nicole, extended family and many many friends. A longtime employee of Cartwright Jewelers, she loved her work and interaction with co-workers and customers. She could sell snow to a snowman! With thanks to Dr. Noble and staff of Medical Daycare RCH. Cremation, No service by request. A beautiful smile, soft touch of hand. Never forgotten, always loved.
