Police officer saves a life Cayley Dobie

An off-duty New Westminster police officer is being credited with saving the life of a young man at a Coquitlam hockey game recently. Const. Curtis Heath had arrived at the rink early to watch his son play hockey when he noticed a crowd of people gathered in the middle of the ice. As he rounded the boards, he realized someone was performing CPR on a hockey player – the player had suffer cardiac arrest and collapsed on the ice, according to a press release from the New Westminster Police Department. Heath rushed on to the ice to help. He took over the CPR duties and, with the help of a Justice Institute of B.C. grad, the two were able to stabilize the player long enough for someone to find an automated external defibrillator (AED), according to the release. “My training and instincts kind of kicked in, and I did everything I could to save this man,” Heath said. “I chose this line of work to help people, and it’s a 24-7 job. It’s nice that I was able to be there for a fellow hockey player.” The player, a 27-year-old man, was taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, police say.

REMEMBERING: The New Westminster and District Labour Council held its annual Day of Mourning ceremony at Westminster Pier Park Saturday, commemorating workers who have been injured or died on the job. Since 2016, the labour council has held the ceremony at the site, which is a stone’s throw away from the spot where four workers lost their lives in a workplace accident on Jan. 10, 2003.

New pool not adequate, club says Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Hyack Swim Club is floating the idea of adding more lanes to the city’s new pool – and is prepared to sink some cash into the project. For the past two years, the City of New Westminster has been consulting and planning for the replacement of the Canada Games

Pool and Centennial Community Centre. It’s proposed that the future aquatic facility include a 50-metre, eight-lane pool tank, but the swim club is concerned that size will preclude the city from hosting regional, provincial or national competitions as those require 10 lanes. “We have in the past been able to host the provincial championships, as well as the western champion-

ships.We will not ever get a chance to bid on those meets with the current design.The city acknowledges this.Their point is the budget is what it is and this is what they are going forward with,” said Mark Bottrill, the club’s director of swimming. “I would think that inside a $100-million facility we could find the space to put in a 10-lane pool, which is the modern requirement

for any meet pool.” Bottrill said the club pays the city more than $100,000 a year for pool time and is prepared to pay an additional $100,000 annually in pool rental costs to help fund a ninth lane – with the hope the city will then pay for tenth lane.The Hyack Swim Club is a non-profit that leases pool space from the city.

Up Front

Uptown development stirs up controversy Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council supports a proposed development on the former La Rustica restaurant site even though some area residents have little appetite for what’s being proposed. The city has received an application to rezone 228 and 232 Sixth St. to allow construction of a six-storey residential building with 53 market strata residential units. It would provide

We need to stop building for cars and build for people 66 parking spots in a twolevel underground parkade; the applicant is proposing to pay a cash-in-lieu contribution of $200,000 for eight parking spaces, as 74 are required under the bylaw. Keith Beckett, who lives at 610 Third Ave., expressed concern at a Monday night public hearing that the development is deficient in parking, will result in the loss of mature trees and has inadequate setbacks. “The proposed develop-

ment goes right up to our property line and has setbacks as little as four-and-ahalf metres,” he said. “Will the city take action to prevent the adjacent building from looking directly into each other’s living spaces?” He also expressed concern about the lack of public parking in the neighbourhood. “It’s all street parking and the street parking is all full,” he said. Mohsen Molavi, who lives in a neighbouring building at 258 Sixth St., said the proposed building is “extremely close” to his apartment and will negatively impact sun exposure and privacy. Rupinder Basi, a senior planner with the city, said it was challenging to achieve setbacks because the site is relatively constrained. He said the site’s existing zoning allows construction of a building that’s taller than the proposed six-storey structure and permits up to 55 units on the site. While the project isn’t the highest and best use for the site, architect Dennis Turco said his client has opted to build a six-storey, woodframe building as it’s sustainable and will be somewhat more affordable than a concrete building.

APPETITE FOR DEVELOPMENT

New Westminster city council has given third reading to a zoning amendment bylaw that allows a six-storey residential building to be built on the former La Rustica restaurant site on Sixth Street. Neighbours of some adjacent buildings expressed concern about parking impacts, and loss of privacy and trees.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

“This could have been a highrise,” he added. “I believe there was an initial application in by a different team for a 10- or 11-storey building a couple years back.” Turco said the six-metre setback is the space between the property lines, so there’s more like at least 12 metres between the buildings. “We have designed our units to be oriented as much as possible from being away from facing the ad-

jacent building,” he said. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the relaxation of parking spaces won’t mean there will be more cars circling the street looking for parking. He said the parking needs of housing in New West are decreasing because of things like car sharing and increased transit use, and he believes the project is providing an appropriate level of parking for a building of this density that’s located close to transit and

the downtown. Coun. Mary Trentadue commended staff and the developer for making a move toward providing less parking. “Frankly, it makes the community very uncomfortable, but I do believe that this is where we are going.We need to stop building for cars and build for people,” she said. “I am supportive of this. I think it’s a good development. I know that there are still

some challenges that need to be worked out with the developer and the neighbour, and I would hope through staff that happens, but I suspect we will hear about it if it doesn’t.” Before being adopted, the applicant must ensure requirements related to parking and trees are addressed. Following the hearing, council gave third reading to the zoning amendment bylaw. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy was the lone dissenter.

New Sapperton condo project Council nixes rezoning for new rowhouse project gets support from community Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster city council is sending a proposed rowhouse development on Royal Avenue back to the drawing board. On Monday night, council considered a rezoning application for 118 Royal Ave., where the applicant hoped to build a four-unit, ground-oriented rowhouse development.The site is next to École Qayqayt Elementary School. Jackie Teed, the city’s acting director of development services, said the familyfriendly units would be individually owned, not stratified. She said the proposal would see an extension of the Royal Avenue multi-use pathway. While she supports more housing units on the site, Agnes Street resident April Hurmuses said the pro-

posed design is “really bad architecture” and puts the 12 owners of units in her building in a fish bowl. “You can densify without screwing over the neighbours,” she told council. “I am one of the neighbours being screwed.” Lisa Chan, who is developing the project, said she’s excited about the plan because it would be the first non-strata rowhome project in New Westminster. “This means it is affordable to a lot of people, especially young families,” she said. “It is a ground-oriented project so it’s a perfect starter home for families that don’t want to be in a condo, don’t want to pay strata fees.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone said he has voiced concerns about this project at several steps during the process and hasn’t seen those concerns addressed.

“I want to see row homes in the city, and I think this density of row homes is really good for the city, but I get a feeling this design sort of poorly fits into the footprint that’s been given to it,” he said. Coun. Mary Trentadue felt some of the challenges raised about the project at the land-use planning committee weren’t addressed as they could have been. “I think at some point we do have to say, ‘No, this isn’t the right development, it doesn’t look right, there are challenges with Royal,’” she said. “I think it’s important to the community and to the people that will be living there that we go back and make sure we get it right.” Council voted 4-2 against third reading of the rezoning, with councillors Jaimie McEvoy and Chuck Puchmayr joining Johnstone and Trentadue in opposition.

A six-storey development on East Columbia Street is getting a lot of love from the Sapperton community. 14PG Columbia Development Inc. submitted a rezoning and development permit application for a vacant site at 408 to 412 East Columbia St., where it plans to build a six-storey, wood-frame building. Premiere will include 7,000 square feet of ground-level retail space, 11,520 square feet of office space on the second storey and 72 secured market rental apartments in the top four floors. In addition to more than 30 letters of support from residents, the Sapperton Old Age Pensioners Association and the Sapperton Business Association, a handful of residents attended Monday night’s pub-

Major university hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the

need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

City Police pull man from river boarded the Shaw 1 police boat, according to a press release. The officers, including Sgt. Greg Smith and constables Sandra Tehennepe and Genevieve Joel, were able to locate the man quickly and pull him out. He was then rushed to hospital. “Luckily we were able to get there as soon as we did,” Smith said in the release. “The male appeared to be hypothermic, and we knew every second counted.” NewWestminster police

A man was saved from the Fraser River Thursday thanks to some fast-acting NewWestminster police officers. Around 6 a.m. on April 26, NewWestminster Police Department was alerted about a man in distress in the middle of the Fraser River.The department dispatched its marine unit, which rushed to the New Westminster Quay and

spokesperson Sgt. Jeff Scott agreed. “The temperature of the Fraser River at this time of year is very cold due to the snow melt,” Scott said in the release. “This could have ended in tragedy had it not been for the quick response of those members involved.” The investigation into how the man ended up in the river is ongoing, but at this time, officers don’t believe any foul play was involved.

Ten-lane pool not in the cards Continued from page 1 “We have offered to help build the extra lanes,” he said. “At the last meeting we had, I said, ‘How much are you short?’ It was mentioned it was $5 million. If that is in fact true, over the lifespan of 50 years, it seems like it’s pretty much pennies in the bucket.” The city’s director of parks and recreation could not be reached for comment on the cost of additional

lanes before press deadline. Mayor Jonathan Cote said the city has received a lot of different feedback about the pool project. “Unfortunately, all of the different ideas couldn’t be included in the project,” he said. “One thing we did hear loud and clear about the aquatic facility was there was a strong desire to maintain its focus on fitness and to maintain the 50-metre pool. A lot of community

pools have actually moved down to the 25-metre pools, which can substantially reduce the cost of the project.” Cote said the city also heard from the Hyack Swim Club and its input was considered. But Cote said a modern competition pool isn’t part of the proposed scope of the facility. See more on this story at www.newwestrecord.ca.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Day of Mourning offers a sobering reminder

The B.C. Day of Mourning was held across the province on Saturday with 40 ceremonies marking the deaths of those who lost their lives on the job. The numbers released by WorkSafeBC to mark the occasion are sobering to look at. In B.C. in 2017, 158 work-related death claims were accepted byWorkSafeBC. Imagine that – 158 people dying just because

they were working. In breaking down those numbers,WorkSafeBC says that 87 (55 per cent) of those deaths were due to occupational disease, largely from exposure to asbestos decades ago, and 71 (45 per cent) resulted from traumatic injury, including 28 from motor-vehicle incidents. Last year, these were the job sectors that had the most work-related deaths: ! construction (51)

! manufacturing (33) ! services (26) ! primary-resources sector (15) ! transportation and warehousing (22) If there is anything positive to be gleaned from these numbers, it is that they are likely to drop considering that asbestos exposure is becoming far less prevalent than decades ago. WorkSafeBC also says that when it comes to work-

Imagine that – 158 people dying just because they were working. er deaths from traumatic injuries, the numbers continue to drop in B.C. Between 1996 and 2017, the rate fell

by 56 per cent. Unfortunately, deaths from occupational disease continue to rise with a jump of approximately 33 per cent from 1996 and 2017. The work-related death rate in 2017 for all deaths has fallen by 30 per cent since 1996. Governments of all levels must continue to put resources into the enforcement of workplace safety regulations to ensure com-

panies don’t cut corners when it comes to safety. Training is also paramount. One positive project that coincided with the Day of Mourning was 145 high schools taking part in a special effort to raise awareness with youth about the importance of safety. Last year, six young workers died of work-related injuries. Hopefully this project and other efforts will ensure those numbers decline.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

From the desk of the new editor The first instructions I received after being named editor of the NewWestminster Record didn’t come from my new boss – tireless publisher Lara Graham – but from my old boss. Meaning my mother. Her instructions were explicit: “Make sure you cover Century House.” Mom is a volunteer there and also performs with the centre’s drama group, and through the years I have been taught about what a vital role Century House plays for the community’s seniors. So, instructions noted. These are the things you need to know when you are editor of the community newspaper editor. I’ve learned these lessons during a journalism career that’s spanned more than 25 years. I was born and raised next door in Burnaby, all the while knowing I was going to end up in a career involving writing. I spent time working as a reporter in the Fraser Valley before settling down in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, first as a reporter and then editor. In all, I worked 20 years for one of the town’s community newspapers. Along the way, I raised an amazing daughter who is approximately 1,266 times smarter and more mature than I was at age 19.The good news is she’s finally reached the age where she no longer says I’m ruining her life. After leaving Maple Ridge, I ended up back in Burnaby to be closer my

mom, as well as my previous job as managing editor of a Vancouver commuter daily. And then … it happened. Legendary editor Pat Tracy, who was one of my mentors when I first started out in this business, retired after a distinguished career – and now here I am, sitting in the uncomfortable office chair that she swears she loves and looking to fill her enormous shoes. I’m grateful to Record publisher Lara Graham for giving me this opportunity. I was hired with the promise to continue the high standards that Pat set. That means great stories and photos, plus engaging opinions, in both the print editions and our digital platforms. I’m helped in this challenge by an amazing editorial team, led by the unsung assistant editor Julie MacLellan. She’s held things together during the transition, producing excellent newspapers and holding my hand as I got settled in (and trying not to laugh as I attempted to record my office phone’s voicemail greeting approximately 68 times). So, what can readers expect from me? Well, an experienced journalist who understands what makes a community newspaper great. I’ll also be a visible presence in the community. If you do see me at a community event, come over and say “hey” and tell me your story. Follow Chris Campbell on Twitter and Instagram @shinebox44.

Alderwoman opposes rail plan Ald. Betty Toporowski was sounding the alarm in November over a recommendation to reroute 1,702 railcarloads of dangerous goods from Vancouver Harbor to either Tilbury Island or the Burlington Northern docks at Burrard Inlet.Toporowski criticized the proposal, contained in a Canadian Transport Commission report, because she said it would require switching in New Westminster and Sapperton yards, endangering the city and the Fraser River. Council, urged by Toporowski, voted to ask the CTC for more time to respond to the recommendations in the report.

Letters Sexual assault survivor was the hero of her story

Residents concerned for future of Fraserview

Dear Editor: From the lens of a sexual assault survivor, I found the article headline, “Accused in 1996 New Westminster cold case has died” incomplete and misleading, shifting the concern to the rapist instead of the victim. I am writing because I continue to raise my voice for the silenced ones and for the ones that can no longer say “me too.” Being sexually assaulted is only the beginning of the difficulties a survivor faces. Pursuing justice is burdensome and emotionally taxing. I agree with Sgt. Jeff Scott – it is indeed unfortunate that James Gray will not face the criminal justice system. What is more unjust is that Dorothy Darnel served a life sentence of psychological injury for a crime she did not commit, one that was put upon her by James Gray the evening of Oct. 4, 1996, when he asserted power and control over her. Despite this, Dorothy did not turn her back on the world. She turned Gray’s “mess” into her “message,” speaking truth to power by becoming an advocate for senior safety. In the midst of the #MeToo movement and on the last day of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I want to honour Dorothy for harnessing her survivor courage by making a significant contribution to her community. She was the hero of her own story. Jodie Ortega, New Westminster

Dear Editor: We are writing to you to express our concerns regarding the future construction projects in our area (78 Richmond St.). We are living in a wonderful part of New Westminster, the Fraserview area. Most of our buildings, apartments and townhouses are age-restricted. Most people moved here for the retirement time and hope for a quiet and comfortable life after selling their houses. Recently, there are so many rumours and gossip that the whole area is a subject of builders’ interest who want to buy most of the properties in our area, demolish them and build new concrete jungles – highrises. Definitely, they will never do it, prior to the consultations about rezoning requests and planning with the City of New Westminster. What is most disturbing is that one of the projects is already named “Glenbrook Ravine Park,” so it makes us worried about the future of our gorgeous park, a little gem. Unfortunately, all our inquiries to the City of New Westminster, the parks and licensing, rezoning and permits departments, were left without answers. All our questions, why some of the trees in our Glenbrook Ravine Park were marked down, were left unanswered. Please let us know how our everyday life can be protected against “making money” and creating a concrete jungle of our city, without concerns about the people who are living there. Olga Savchuk (Parkomenko) and Charles McGill, New Westminster

City Local school district names new secretary-treasurer Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district has found a replacement for outgoing secretary-treasurer Kevin Lorenz. Starting July 2, Kim Morris will take over the district’s financial portfolio. Morris has 11 years’ experience as a secretary-treasurer for school districts in Northern B.C. and

the Interior, including Kootenay Lake, Kootenay-Columbia and Prince Rupert. “What stands out for me is the fact that she is a secretarytreasurer who has the learning agenda in mind,” New Westminster school district superintendent Karim Hachlaf said in a press release. Hachlaf describes Morris as a “team player who works effectively with trustees, staff,

unions, parents, and public stakeholders in support of a robust, engaging and studentcentred learning environment,” notes the release. Lorenz announced earlier this year he had accepted a new job as secretary-treasurer for the Okanagan-Skaha school district. Lorenz worked previously for the Vernon school district as associate secretary-treasur-

er before he was hired in New Westminster in 2014 as assistant secretary-treasurer to replace outgoing director of finance Sheldon Lee. He became secretary-treasurer later that same year following Al Balanuik’s departure. At last week’s school board meeting, trustees took a moment to recognize Lorenz and the work he’s done for the district these past few years.

Board of education chair Mark Gifford credited Lorenz for moving the district forward. “This is a big moment,” Gifford said. “I want to thank you for your time with the district and your work in service to the kids and staff and all of that. So thank you.” Lorenz will stay on in New Westminster until May 31.

I really like the direction the city is going and I want to be part of moving it in that direction,” she said. “Certainly, housing is one of the top issues.

Trustee hopefuls seek New West Progressive nomination Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster father is looking to bring a fresh perspective to the board of education. Cyrus Sy is the first candidate to announce his intention to run for school trustee in October’s municipal election. He is seeking the nomination from the New West Progressives, a decision that will be finalized at a nomination meeting later this month. Sy joined with the New Westminster Progressive Electors Coalition, now the New West Progressives, a group whose goal is to bring new ideas to city hall and school board. This is the first time Sy has run for office, but it’s not his first foray into the world of politics. Last year, Sy volunteered for the B.C.

Green Party during the provincial election. Sy admits it’ll be an uphill battle trying to get a seat at the board. “What I’d like to be able to do is at least show and demonstrate to parents and residents and citizens in New West that I can bring some fresh perspective,” he said. “I bring a very collaborative approach to things.” The idea is to take politics out of the school board and bring the focus back to the students, Sy added. “I just want to get across the fact that I’m running for trustee because I really care deeply about the school system,” he said. “My hope is that if I get onto the school board that we can make sure that … when it comes to decision making it’s very much based on putting students first and leaving party politics at the door.”

Sy moved to New Westminster in 2007 and currently lives in Victoria Hill with his wife and two kids, who attend Herbert Spencer Elementary School. Another New Westminster parent has also declared her intention to run for trustee for the New West Progressives. Lisa Falbo announced she was seeking the coalition’s nomination. She lives in Moody Park and has spent many hours volunteering with her daughter for different community groups, including the Glenbrook Middle School parent advisory council, New Westminster Hyack Ambassador program and Honour House, according to her website. Calls to Falbo were not returned by press deadline.

In May excavation starts in and near the Sherbrooke Street intersection. Initially small excavations within the intersection will occur intermittently over a two week period for water main tie-ins. Then for about one week more extensive excavation will occur both in the intersection and the east (northbound) lane of East Columbia Street near the intersection. Construction hours are 9am to 3pm Mon. to Sat., except holidays. From late May to late June the east (northbound) bike lane and east sidewalk of East Columbia Street will be excavated. Work will start at Sherbrooke Street and progress southward, in sections, to Keary Street. Construction hours will be 7am-7pm Mon. to Sat., except holidays. Bird Construction will endeavour to minimize the construction’s impact, noise, dust, and disruption to neighbours in accordance with the City’s regulations and Good Neighbour Protocol. Thank you for your patience.

The Impact To You Drivers should expect delays, but two-way trafﬁc will be maintained along East Columbia Street. • Drivers will share the northbound (east) lane with cyclists. Please watch for bicyclists. • In May Sherbrooke Street will have single lane alternating trafﬁc for a week near the East Columbia Street intersection. Sidewalks will be closed to pedestrians in sections on the east (hospital) side of the street. • We suggest you use East Columbia Street’s west sidewalk (Sapperton Park side) to avoid as much construction as possible. • In May at times you will be detoured when crossing Sherbrooke Street on the east (hospital) side of the street. For bicyclists, the east (northbound) bike lane will be closed in sections, requiring you to share the vehicle lane. Use caution. Bus riders will notice stops temporarily moved for the 155 and C9 buses at times. Watch for notices at each stop. In May parking and the loading zone will be intermittently closed on Sherbrooke Street near the east side of the East Columbia intersection. Hospital visitors will always have access to the main entrance and Emergency driveways, but at times driveways may be disrupted or altered, or you may be directed to exit the hospital’s main entrance using Sherbrooke Street.

Please use caution Watch for signs, and please obey ﬂagpersons who are there to direct you safely around the construction. And, please keep our construction crew safe.

She’s helped to put New West on the map Tourism NewWestminster’s director is moving on to a new career opportunity in Mississauga, Ontario Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

After years of working to put New Westminster on the map as a destination,Tej Kainth is moving on to a new endeavour. Kainth, who has been at the helm of Tourism New Westminster for 11 years, is moving to Ontario to take on a newly created position as the City of Mississauga’s tourism manager. She’s thrilled to be able to take the skills she’s honed in New Westminster and apply them on a much larger scale in Mississauga. “I have done as much as I could do to the best of my ability here in New West,” she said. “For me, I needed to continue learning and growing in my career. Mississauga is a city of 800,000 people. It’s the sixth largest city in Canada.” Kainth’s new job includes implementing the City of Mississauga’s tourism master plan and working with Toronto and neighbouring cities and Tourism Toronto on branding Mississauga as a tourist destination.While she’s looking forward to bringing a “visitor’s lens” to her new role in Mississauga, she’s proud of the work she’s been able to accomplish in her hometown. “I can’t really put my name on any one specific thing because I am so proud of what this city has become. I was part of that. I was part of this growth and rebirth of New Westminster, becoming the city that it is today, over the last decade,” she said. “I think that’s my proudest moment – being part of the vision and being part of the discussion of how this city is changing and what we can do to continue putting New Westminster on the map.” During her time at Tourism New West, first as a marketing coordinator and then as an executive director, Kainth initiated a number of projects and programs in-

cluding Feast on the Fraser, Quest New West, a 150 Bucket List of things to do in New West, and many marketing and promotional events. “I have seen it grow as a destination, and it is going to continue to get bigger and more prominent in the type of destination we are becoming. I think there is a new wave of industry that has evolved here in New West and a strong passion and vision for where tourism is going to go,” she said. “I have had the honour of being an ambassador and champion outside this city and talking up New West and promoting the city. It’s always going to be a city that I will continue to promote no matter

where I am in this world because it’s my hometown.” Jorden Foss, chair of Tourism New West’s board of directors, said the organization is sad to see

us as a board, the timing of this to happen – we never wanted to lose Tej – but if there was ever a time she was going to move on, we have a fresh-faced board now with a lot of new business owners in the city. I think that the team we have now will be able to manage this and then bring somebody in.” Foss said the board will sit down and determine if it wants to hire an executive director or go in a different direction, such as people for marketing or sales roles. In the meantime,Tourism New West has plans in place to continue staffing the tourism information centre at Anvil Centre, doing social media, launching its new website and making its appearance felt at vari-

I am so proud to be from New Westminster and so happy that I got this opportunity to promote my hometown. Here I am now, going into a bigger city and taking all this knowledge and information and experiences I have been able to develop here and being able to apply that in a bigger context.”

300 years of birthdays at Royal City Manor Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Mozart Mimms gets by with a little help from his friends. Mimms turned 100 years old on Monday, April 30, surrounded by fellow Freemasons and others at Royal City Manor. Two of the people celebrating along with him also recently turned 100 – Elizabeth Beyer and Ursula Lingley.The trifecta of centenarians were joined by fellow residents and visiting family and friends as music played and cake was served. When asked what he had learned in his long life, for Mimms it came down to two simple things. “Get you a good job,” he said, adding he’d always gotten along with his bosses and managers. “And treat people well – if you treat them well, they’ll treat you well.” His motto seemed to work for him, as person after person came forward to shake his hand and wish

him well during his interview with the Record. He explained that many of them were Masonic brothers and that he had joined the Masons more than 60 years ago. “I’ve always had a lot of good friends,” he said, “people who come to you when you need it.” His only family – a sisterin-law and niece – live in the United States. He left when he was in his 30s, he said. Born in Allensville, Kentucky, he eventually attended the University of Nashville. One summer break, he worked as a porter with the Canadian Pacific Railway during the tourist season. “I love B.C. and Canada,” he said. After he graduated and hadn’t found a job, his old boss called and asked if he’d like a regular job with the railway line. “I went for six months,” Mimms said, “and I stayed for 62 years.” He went on to work for VIA Rail, retiring at the end of his career as a service

manager. “I worked all the time,” he told the Record, adding he started when he was 10 years old. “I always had a job.” Now, Mimms spends his time watching TV and reading, and going on outings when he has someone to push his wheelchair. He loves sports – football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer. He, along with his fellow centenarians, received letters from the Queen, the prime minister, the premier, the lieutenant-governor of B.C., the Governor General of Canada and other dignitaries. The letters were very important to the recipients, according to Shannon Johnson, executive director of Royal City Manor. “Just to feel honoured is important,” she said. “One hundred is such a special time.” While it has become more common for residents to reach 100 than before, it is still unusual to have three

at a time, she added. It is an important milestone, she said, but added they celebrate every day. “Mozart has been so excited,” Johnson said. “It’s a testament to the journeys they’ve taken, the friends in

their lives.” Mimms also occupies himself with a new hobby – he started painting two years ago, she said. He was even part of a show the manor put on at a local art gallery, she added.

A friend of 66 years, Berta, is also living at the manor now. “They want to be together,” Johnson said. “Have dinner together, sit together.”

StarWars Day is almost here. Get ready for May the Fourth and celebrate your fandom with New Westminster Public Library. Not only does NWPL have each entry in this blockbuster movie series for loan, we also have other materials that will help fans celebrate this long-running phenomenon of popular culture. Jeffery Brown has written a series of light-hearted comics based on the life and times of the Skywalker family. Brown is also the author of the children’s series Jedi

Academy, chronicling the adventures of Roan, a young Padawan in his first year of Jedi studies. If you’re a fan of modern takes on William Shakespeare, check out Ian Doescher’s StarWars parodies that are written in the style of 16th-century blank verse. We’ve also got quite a few non-fiction titles that delve into StarWars and its creator George Lucas. Check out the biography George Lucas:A Life (2016) by Brian Jay Jones. For the chronicles of Lucasfilm and its technical achievements, try Droidmaker: George Lucas and the Digital Revolution (2006) by

Michael Rubin. And don’t forget there have been many novels published over the years to support and expand upon the StarWars universe. For a crime caper with Han Solo and Chewbacca that is reminiscent of Oceans 11, try Scoundrels (2013) by Timothy Zahn. Or try Alexandra Bracken’s The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy (2015) for a retelling of the original 1977 movie. If you’d like more suggestions visit us in person, email AskUs@nwpl.ca or call 604-527-4660. May the Fourth be with you.

Mindful Mutts gets a boost from brand contest Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Mindful Mutts is thrilled to be able to take its work with dogs to a whole new level. The New West-based business recently won the Level Up My Brand contest, which included a prize pack valued at $12,000. Mindful Mutts will receive a new logo design, swag, print and/or digital advertising support, a vehicle wrap, signage, legal and financial advice, business coaching, social media activation, a downtown workspace, an office party catering package, lunch with the mayor and more. “I really think that this is a great community project and it is a really generous one at that,” said Stefania Butkovic, owner-operator of Mindful Mutts. “I don’t know if I could have gone through with some of the things we are now going to be able to do without having won it.” The three finalists in the

Level Up My Brand contest had to do a Dragon’s Denstyle pitch before a panel of judges. “For me it was quite stressful because I wasn’t sure if I was going to get the right message across. I didn’t want people to think that we were just entering as a doggy daycare because there was more behind what we do,” she said. “I had to make sure I could put a lot of information into three to five minutes of speaking.” Mindful Mutts offers a variety of services including daycare and boarding, training, pet first aid, puppy socialization and more. After launching Mindful Mutts out of her home in 2015, Butkovic later opened a small facility in Sapperton at 305 Cedar St. and then added a larger facility in downtown New Westminster at 9 Sixth St. in late January. “I guess we were trying to convey that was what we needed help with the most was a little bit of everything that that prize pack was

awarding,” Butkovic said of her pitch. “The reason for that was as a small business that works with animals, we have a completely different take on how we operate compared to traditional style dog daycares.” While some dog daycares take in up to 100 dogs, Mindful Mutts aims to take in fewer dogs because of concerns about the mental and physical health of the pooches. Butkovic firmly believes the dog daycare industry needs regulations or standards to address issues such as number of dogs permitted at the daycare, the number of staff and education requirements or certification of staff. “This industry is only growing larger and larger every day, but nobody seems to be paying attention to the part of the actual health and well-being of animals,” she said. “It’s more about getting the animals in the door, calling them fur babies and bringing in as much money as possible.” Butkovic said the Lev-

el Up My Brand prize pack allows the business to focus on its mandate, while getting assistance from local professionals on services that will help the company.The impact of winning the contest was almost immediate. “As soon as we were announced as winners, we started getting an influx of emails and calls. It was a little intense, I’m not go-

ing to lie,” she laughed. “The week after the (Record) newspaper ad came out, that floored me like I could not even describe.We usually take five new dogs a month.This week we are intaking six in total. It has had a huge impact on our business. Even just the fact we won, let alone the prizes, will help us focus on our mission.” Butkovic encourages oth-

er businesses to be sure and enter the Level Up My Brand contest next year. “I was kind of blasé about it – ‘I’m not going to win. There is probably better entries’ – but I was floored and beyond grateful when I found out we had won,” she said. “I would definitely encourage the community to support this because a welldeserving business will definitely win this next year.”

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES GET PREPARED FOR SUMMER CAMP SEASON

Don’t delay, start planning your children’s summer recreation now Many families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid temperatures until spring and summer mercifully return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach can put their daydreams to practical use by planning ahead for their youngsters' summer vacations. Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of school and the day when classes resume. Due in part to high demand, parents who want to place their kids in summer rec programs or summer camps should being vetting such programs and camps well in advance of summer.The following are a handful of tips for moms and dads who want their kids to have fun and fulfilling summers. " ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. Speak with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their chil-

Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand insight into a particular camp or program. Schedule appointments to visit camps that fall within your budget.Take your son or daughter along so he or she can get a sense of what camp will be like. " EXPLORE ALL OPTIONS. Camps come in more flavors than ever before. Certain camps may be faithbased ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children.

" INQUIRE ABOUT CAMP SCHEDULES. While many camps are flexible, day camps do not have the same level of flexibility as afterschool programs. Arrangements will need to be made if care is required after regular camp hours. Speak with camp staff to see which types of after-hours programs, if any, are available. " DETERMINE YOUR CAMP BUDGET. As varied as program offerings may be, camps also can vary greatly with regard to cost. Government-run camps may be less expensive than those offered by private companies. Day camps typically cost less than those that provide room and board. Find out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs. Scouting programs often have a dedicat-

ed camp and may offer affordable options for scouts. Martial arts schools and dance centers frequently offer camp schedules.

In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the

Perhaps that's why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape – summer camp – remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends. Although kids needn't be in camp all summer long, a week or two can benefit kids of all ages. Here are five

reasons why summer camp might be the right fit.

Explore talents. Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere.

Physical activity. Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors. Campers may spend their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more.This can be a welcome change for kids accustomed to living sedentary

lifestyles. Regular physical activity has many health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult.

Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence, decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students.

Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that's learning to cook, exploring new environments

Summer recreation may be far off, but it is never too early to start making summer plans, including finding camps and other activities for kids.

Summer feels: Thinking about signing your kid up for a summer camp or rec program? Better do it soon. Due in part to high demand, parents who want to register their kids in a summer program should be vetting such programs or camps well in advance of summer. PHOTO PEXELS

5 reasons camp is a good choice for kids Summer vacation offers students a respite from lessons and the routine of school. Children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today's youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices.

monotony of a routine and provide kids and families time to relax together.

Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far.This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools. Camps benefit children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confidence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.

Business Winery rebrands with a tribute to New West Theresa McManus

MOVERS & SHAKERS

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Pacific Breeze’s new labels may look familiar to New Westminster residents. One of only two urban wineries in the Lower Mainland, the New West-based winery has just undertaken a slight rebrand. “Proud of their roots and location, close to the banks of the Fraser River in New Westminster, the Pacific Breeze team retained New Westminster branding and marketing agency, InHouse Media + Marketing to provide a new look to their brand identity and create labels that pay homage to new Westminster,” said a press release. “The labels show the breeze from the Fraser River looking onto a timeless silhouette of the new West skyline.” Since opening in New Westminster in 2007, Pacific Breeze Urban Winery has

won more than 50 international medals and five Best of Class awards. Owned by Maurice Hamilton, the winery now produces 3,000 cases annually. “Like many B.C.Wineries, Pacific Breeze Urban Winery is a family business with son Dylan Hamilton and fiancée Devon Stewart as wine makers,” said the press release. “The blend of traditional and modern is prevalent in the quality wines that they produce and reflected in the new brand.” Along with the rebrand, Pacific Breeze recently launched its new 100 per cent B.C.VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) wines – a Pinot Blanc, a Gewurztraminer and a rosé.To produce B.C.VQA wines, wineries must purchase 100 per cent of their grapes from British Columbia. The new wines can be found in the B.C.VQA section of local liquor stores and Save-On-Foods loca-

tions that sell wine (take note that none of those are in New West), while reserve wines can be tasted and purchased in its local tasting room at 6-320 Stewardson Way. More info is available at www.pacificbreeze winery.com. TRAIN FOR THE CIRCUS If you’ve dreamed of running away and joining the circus, here’s your chance. The Vancouver Circus School is holding auditions for its Ring Master program on May 19 and Aug. 11 at its space on the second floor of River Market. Kids aged eight to 14 will audition at 3:30 p.m. and folks aged 15 and up audition starting at 6 p.m. Applicants must have a training experience in a related discipline (such as dance, circus arts, gymnastics, theatre, etc.) and must be able to achieve a high skill and performance level.

Community Get moving for your health DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

We were made to move. When we don’t, our health suffers.When we do, we thrive. Yet many of us have adapted to a sedentary lifestyle – losing strength, flexibility and coordination through underuse. It’s rarely too late to regain some of your potential at any age. Healthy physical activity is one of my four foundations of self-care – the healthy daily practices that maintain wellness and good health; the other three foundations are healthy eating, healthy relationships and emotional well-being. What are the benefits of physical activity? Here are my top seven. 1. Decreased risks for heart disease, strokes, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. Regular physical activity is an important part of managing and improving chronic health conditions. 2. Maintenance of a

healthy weight, complementing good nutrition. 3. Improved fitness of your heart, lungs and muscles.Your body becomes conditioned to function better, making everyday activities easier. 4. Reduced falls and improved brain health.When your limbs, eyes and brain are accustomed to movement, your balance, agility and ability to react improve. When blood flows better throughout your body, it also provides better circulation to your brain. A healthy body promotes a healthy brain. 5.Weight-bearing activities (including walking and hiking) help maintain bone density and reduce fracture risks. 6. Improved sleep. Although vigorous exercise too close to bedtime may be too stimulating, activity earlier in the day can improve the quality of sleep. 7. Improved emotional well-being by decreasing stress hormones, such as cortisol and raising endorphins, our natural painkill-

ers. Don’t forget the social benefits of physical activities such as ballroom and line dancing, tai chi, walking groups, hiking, ping pong, badminton, swimming, yoga, Zumba and spin classes. You don’t have to be an athlete to enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity. You don’t even have to call it exercise. We can each begin by walking more. As I walk through my neighbourhood, I see, smell, hear and feel so much more of the world immediately around me than when I drive. I feel closer to my community – the natural world and my neighbours. I feel more connected with my own body, as I feel each step on the ground and breathe in time with my movements. I am more in touch with my thoughts. Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. For more on achieving your positive potential in life, see his website at davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

ASK A PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Q A

I have been diagnosed with a meniscal tear in my knee. Do I need surgery?

We have two moon shaped cartilage “shock absorbers” in each knee, called the menisci (plural of meniscus). In addition to absorbing forces applied to the knee, the menisci JIM GOVETT also act to improve knee stability by forming of a socket shape for the femur to sit in. In the past, the meniscus was thought to be unimportant, and removed if damaged. Currently, we know that the meniscus protects the knee, and even partial loss of it results in earlier onset of arthritis. Treatment strategy for meniscal tears has advanced, and the primary method of treatment is now physiotherapy. Surgery is considered if rehabilitation has been unsuccessful in resolving symptoms. Recent analysis of the research has shown that long term outcomes are better with conservative rehabilitation than with surgery. NEW WEST SPORTS MEDICINE B1-65 Richmond Street, New Westminster

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

What can increase my healing after dental surgery?

Many patients have had the experience of extracting a tooth or having gum surgery. The most common concerns after surgery are usually pain and length of healing time. DR. MORRIS HUANG After many years of research and medical advances, the dental community has developed a new way of decreasing the post-surgical pain and speed up healing time: Concentrated Growth Factor It involves taking a small amount of blood from the arm (just like a blood test) then extracting the white blood cells and growth factors. After concentration, it is placed in the surgical site. The growth factor will increase healing speed and the white blood cell will decrease inﬂammation period. Overall, it is a simple procedure that will aid in better healing and a better result after a dental surgery. Ask your dentist about CGF today! 609 Sixth Street, New Westminster

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Q A

How often should I change my program to see the best results?

This is a good one. We all want to be comfortable in the things we do, the problem for some people is stepping out of their comfort zone. We don’t have to do LUKE RAMNATH anything to extreme here, but for the best results we should change our programs every 4-6 weeks. The human body will adapt so fast that after that time it is likely our results will plateau. This is why placing a different stress (the good kind, muscular stress) will have a more positive effect on burning calories, increasing lean muscle or toning, than doing the same thing over and over. Our personal trainers can show real value when it comes to effective program design. Let us help you get healthy for summer and healthy for life.

Q A

What is a Partial Denture?

A partial denture is a plate with one or more teeth on it. Partial dentures are designed to ﬁt between those remaining natural teeth, much like a BRIAN KO puzzle piece. The partial may be a mix of metal and plastic or made complete of either material. A partial may also have metal clasps to help keep the denture in place to your natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures offer a removable alternative to ﬁxed bridges.

What do corporate directors and officers do?

Last month, I described electing directors and appointing officers for your BC company. Directors manage your company‘s affairs. The individuals must qualify and consent. However, STEPHEN GRAF they do not have to own shares unless your company’s articles (rules) require. Officers carry on your company‘s business daily. Under your company’s articles, the directors may appoint one or more individuals as officers. The individuals must qualify. The BC Business Corporations Act does not require your company to appoint officers, to have a president or secretary, or to appoint different individuals to each office.

A Richard McBride Elementary School student has taken a top spot in the Royal Canadian Legion’s Remembrance contest. Each year, the Royal Canadian Legion holds video, poster and literary contests for youth across Canada. Richard McBride Elementary was the lone New West school to submit entries in the 2017 contest. “According to the teacher, they were pretty enthusiastic about it,” said Terry Leith, vice-president of Branch No. 2 in New Westminster. The entries are first judged at the local branch, with winning entries going on to the district zone for judging. First-place winners at the zone then go on to judging at the provincial level, and the top entries in the provinces go on to the “dominion command” for judging at the national level. Sidney Riddle, a Grade 3 student at Richard McBride, placed second of all entries across Canada in the primary black and white poster category. “We are just happy that one of our people went on that far,” Leith said of the national win. “We have never had that before from this branch.” The Royal Canadian Legion received 6,605 submission throughout B.C. and theYukon for various categories in the poster and literary contest. Legion officials recently visited Richard McBride Elementary School to recognize the efforts of all participants and present awards to the winning entries. Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 2 received 11 entries from Deidre Wrightman’s Grade 3 class at

The New Westminster Senior Salmonbellies and Vancouver Stealth goaltender recently led some of the New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association’s young goalies in a clinic. Colburn Connelly, a goalie in the New Westminster Minor Lacrosse Association’s bantam division, was among those who attended the clinic. “It was really good. I definitely liked the aspect of getting better goalies.Tye Belanger was really good. He was really helpful. It’s good to have an experienced goalie talk to you. Coaches know up to a certain point, but he can tell you the really fine aspects of what to work on and how to get better,” Connelly said. “It was really fun.” Belanger also held a goaltender coaching seminar with coaches.

OUR PAST

Great Fire’s aftermath was an early tourism draw Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Study the early efforts involving tourism in New Westminster is a fascinating journey. Where did people go to experience, to explore, to see? Tourism in NewWestminster over the decades has drawn visitors for many different reasons. A glimpse back in the Royal City’s story will show us some of those “attractions.” NewWestminster’s Great Fire of 1898 drew many people who came to see the aftermath of the blaze. Some of the folks who visited came by rail or streetcar, others by boat, and still others arrived on horse-drawn conveyances. Many years ago, we saw a photo album with notations that commented on where the individual was in the city, what the ruins had been before the fire, with even a photo or two showing the person

standing in front of the vivid evidence of the destruction caused by the blaze. Provincial exhibitions, when held in Queen’s Park, were for many years a focal point of visits in the early fall.The city’s many hotels were usually full as people arrived to enjoy the various exhibition features, including industrial and commercial displays, agricultural parades, concerts, midway activities, sporting events and special promoted items. During the gold rush periods of our history, people from elsewhere in the world travelled to B.C. to see the places like Emery Creek, the Fraser Canyon, Barkerville, Fort Steele andWild Horse Creek. Most of them visited to take in the action, and maybe gaze upon a real gold nugget. Particular sporting action could always draw a crowd, and this would frequently – as it does today – benefit businesses like hotels,

restaurants, bars, and transportation.While lacrosse was always a major focus, others might include rodeos, horse racing and Scottish games. The steamboat traffic always seems to have had a strong attraction for the tourist as the vessels travelled the Gulf of Georgia, among the Gulf Islands, down into Puget Sound, up the Fraser River, and to sites onVancouver Island.While some of these vessels might have been fairly rough and ready, others offered excellent accommodation. This is a topic of great interest and one that adds much to the social and economic history of a place such as British Columbia. This column is dedicated to Tej Kainth.After many years as the leader of Tourism New Westminster, Kainth has left for a new position in another province. She definitely loved these stories.

Absences a hit to Hyacks’ title hopes By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

With one game left in the regular season, the New Westminster Hyacks are eyeing a topthree finish. But sliding to third would be an option of the unkindest kind. New West has suffered two losses – including Tuesday’s 1-0 setback to the Burnaby North Vikings – in the Burnaby-New West senior girls soccer league. The other loss was a forfeit due to a lack of players.That issue continues to play a role, but head coach Wayne McCarthy believes with the playoffs around the corner that shouldn’t be the problem it was midway through the season. “We were missing four girls who could create offence (Tuesday),” said McCarthy, “including (leading scorer) Nisa Reehal.That’s a big difference.” New West also lost the services of midfielder Sonia Sarai at halftime, stretching the lineup with no substitutes in the second half. Burnaby North was full marks for the win, he noted, by playing a disciplined defensive Ball control: New Westminster’s Nisa Reehal drives past a Moscrop opponent during action last week.

Jr. ’Bellies eager to play 2018 opener By Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There may be more change to come for all things New Westminster junior lacrosse, but the joys of a new season on the horizon makes everything seem familiar. A new coaching staff, a lot of new, young players pushing for positions, and a whole new reality with B.C. Lacrosse’s decision to create a five-year, multi-tier junior program has created opportunity and excitement that has carried through the pre-season so far. The ’Bellies launch the B.C. Junior A season on May 7 when they visit Burnaby (8 p.m. start), and that’s when even the coaches will get their first real glimpse of what they’ve got. “With the guys who are in town all been battling hard together for a long time, and the coaches working with them, I’m sure we’ll be ready to play (May 7). Right now they’re chomping at the bit to start hitting someone else for a change,” remarked new ’Bellies head coach Rich Catton. “Nothing like a game to get the nerves out.” Without perennial all-star and twotime league MVP Connor Robinson and defensive stalwart James Belgrave, to name just two of the graduates, New West has holes to fill. Fortunately, they’ve got lots of talent returning and coming from the younger division. The acquisition of Tre Leclaire last month – although he’s unavailable for about a month due to college – added a top talent with two years of junior eligibility left. At the other end of the floor there’s last year’s B.C. junior top netminder, Erik Kratz. “We think (Kratz) is the best junior goalie in Canada, so he’s a huge part of the team,” said Catton. New West’s home opener is May 15 against Delta.

SPORTS BRIEFS

New West sniper wields hot stick for High Point

High Point University’s Connor Robinson scored two quick unassisted goals, triggering a rally that propelled the Panthers past the Air Force Falcons 7-6 in Southern Conference Div. 1 field lacrosse action last week. It was followed by a goal in a 13-7 victory over Mercer, the team’s fifth straight win after beginning the season 0-6. Robinson, a New West native and St.Thomas More alumnus, leads High Point in goals with 32 in 13 games this season, his fourth at the North Carolina university. He sits second in points, trailing teammate Asher Nolting. His senior season to date includes a five-goal game, a pair of four-goal games and a six-game

With the end of April showers, the New Westminster Twins are eager to make some hay in May. The Lower Mainland 18-plus baseball team is nearly a month into its schedule but has only two games under its belt, thanks to a deluge of rainouts and postponements. General manager Ron Suffron said this year’s crew brings a lot of promise and 2018 is going to be a major improvement on last year’s rough 4-14 season – dead-last in the LMBL’s Bob Bunnett Division. “We’ve only had two games but they were both close,” said Suffron. “We’ve added some good acquisitions and should be competitive.” New West opened the season three weeks ago with a 5-2 loss to the Fraser Valley Chiefs.Ten days ago they were doubled 4-2 by the South Delta Padres. Last week’s game with the Vancouver Capilanos was washed out. Behind aces Sean McCallum and Brendan McCloskey, Suffron said the pitching is in good shape and says some of the newer additions address one of the main weaknesses that harpooned the Twins’ run last

year – the hitting. “We have picked up some good hitters, which has been our nemesis the past few years,” he noted. “We’re a lot deeper throughout the lineup, too.” McCallum, a 29-year-old righthander, tops the rotation and sets the table as one of the leaders. “He’s our ace,” said Suffron. Anchoring the battery is 24-yearold catcher Leonardo Guevarra. The players all have played at the college level, and many have come up through the B.C. Premier Baseball League. The weather has whittled down the first three weeks of games to a sparse number, with a couple teams still looking to get their second game of the season under their belts, as of Wednesday. In a weekend league, where games are scheduled for only Friday to Sunday times, rainouts are a steady pain in the first six weeks of the season. New West’s next game is Saturday, 6 p.m. against the 0-3 Vancouver Blue Jays, at Queen’s Park Stadium.

REMEMBRANCES IN MEMORIAM RUSSELL, Lawrence Edmund March 8, 1923 - April 21, 2018

Bob passed away peacefully in his 94th year on Monday, April 23, 2018 with his family by his side. He is predeceased by his sister Dorothy (2011) and his daughter Mary (2015).

He grew up in Sapperton, attending Richard McBride Elementary School, Knox Presbyterian Church and continued his education at Trapp Tech. Bob began his working career at Shaw Bros. in New Westminster, apprenticing as a cabinet maker. Bob was a proud New Westminster resident all his life. Bob enlisted in the army in 1942, serving in Canada, United Kingdom and Continental Europe, landing in France on D-Day. By order of the President of the Republic of France, Bob was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour. This is the highest national order of France.

KUSHNIRUK, Robin March 18, 1983 - May 6, 2017 Our Dearest Robin, .

It is one year ago today you left us. We are heartbroken and not a day goes by without thinking about you. We miss you so much, but you left us with many wonderful memories that we cherish today and always will. At times we cry, we laugh and we grieve. We remember the tiny baby you began as, so quiet and peaceful; the cute, chatting little girl; the animal lover you became, always smiling; the self assured adolescent; the skate boarding teen through the difficult years; the beautiful, intelligent young woman you became. We love you forever. “You have the best room in the world tonight”. Lovingly, Mom Shelley Rowe and Grandma Fern Rowe
