‘We want a 10-lane pool’ Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Supporters of a 10-lane swimming pool tried to make a splash at city hall Monday night. More than 200 people marched from Canada Games Pool to city hall, where they gathered on the front steps and repeatedly chanted “We want a 10-lane pool,” chants so loud they could be heard inside council chambers. While the majority of the group rallied outside, a handful of Hyack Swim Club representatives headed inside to the council meeting. “It should be a legacy for New Westminster,” resident Paul McNamara told council. “It’s not just for Hyack, and I don’t think it should just be for leisure. It should be both. Competitive swimmers cannot use leisure pools, but leisure swimmers can use competitive pools.The City of New Westminster should be the greatest city in the Lower Mainland with this venue.We should aim high.” Continued on page 3

MAKING A SPLASH: Mark Bottrill, head coach for the Hyack Swim Club, addresses a crowd of more than 200 people who rallied at city hall Monday night, urging the city to include 10 swim lanes in the pool that will replace Canada Games Pool. The contingent, accompanied by a police escort, marched from the pool to the steps of city hall, where boisterous chants of “We want a 10-lane pool” could heard inside council chambers.

Residents want homeless proposal moved Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Many Queensborough residents oppose a plan to build modular housing for homeless women near the local elementary school – but are prepared to welcome it elsewhere. Council received a report Monday on zoning amendment and official community plan amendment bylaws that would allow a 44-unit modular housing development at 838 Ewen Ave. If approved, the project would provide housing and support services for women who are homeless or at risk

of homelessness. More than a dozen Queensborough residents appeared at Monday’s meeting to urge council to reject the site – but to put it at another location in their neighbourhood. Residents are concerned about potential risks to children of locating the project next to a site that’s home to about 700 students at the middle and elementary schools, the community centre, a skate park, a StrongStart program, a before-and-after-school childcare program, playgrounds and a daycare. Jagjit Sall said the Gurd-

wara Sahib Sukh Sagar’s congregation has always provided a safe place for many people to congregate and feeds 100 meals to homeless individuals each week. The temple’s congregation, however, is concerned about the potential impacts on children’s safety. “I say potential because no one knows if the children’s safety is safe or not. That is what scares many of the people of Queensborough, that this project cannot guarantee that it won’t increase the risk of children’s safety,” he said. “On behalf of the congregation,

it has been asked that another location be chosen, that the current location is not fit for either the children of Queensborough or for those homeless women involved as they need all the support from the community as they come in, not walking to scathing eyes in opposition, but open arms. This is a community project. It takes a community to make it work, so let’s work on an alternative location so all the stakeholders involved can benefit from it.” While some community members have voiced support for the project on social media and at the open

sible,” she said. “We feel like we can do it in Queensborough.” Dhanani presented council with a petition signed by 2,000 Queensborough residents, which is calling on the provincial government to work with the city and stakeholders to extend the timeline for community consultation, to address potential risks related to the project and to find a location away from a site near children, because of potential exposure to drug use, drug trade and high-risk mental health behaviours.

house, all speakers at Monday’s meeting expressed concern about its location. Ashifa Dhanani, who is part of a group called Queensborough Residents for Responsible Community Planning that formed in response to this proposal, said the community embraced a housing project for women and children just a few blocks away. She said the community supports the project at a different Queensborough location. “We are in support of the project.We really feel it’s important to get 44 women off the street as soon as pos-

Upfront EDUCATION

Future school is ‘right’ size: Minister

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The future New Westminster Secondary School is the “right size” for the city for years to come, according to the Ministry of Education and New Westminster school district. Education Minister Rob Fleming joined New Westminster school trustees, senior district admin and local MLA Judy Darcy at a groundbreaking ceremony last week to mark the beginning of construction of the new high school. When it officially opens in September 2020, the new $106.5-million New Westminster Secondary School will house 1,900 students in the three-storey facility. “This is the right size for the school going forward decades into the future,” Fleming said at the event.

But in March, superintendent Karim Hachlaf told the Record he was worried the capacity of the new high school was inadequate for the projected student enrolment. He was especially concerned that the school would be far too small 10 to 15 years from now. But Hachlaf isn’t worried about overpopulation anymore. “Indeed I had said that and that’s why I’m happy to provide clarity on that. Those comments were premature, and I can say this confidently,” he told the Record this week. Hachlaf said that since his previous conversation with the Record, the New Westminster school district has begun a long-range facilities planning process and an outside consultant has confirmed enrolment projections for the high school

will be well within the new school’s capacity for years to come. “To our satisfaction, what it showed is our new high school that’s built for the current capacity is going to be more than sufficient to sustain enrolment growth 15 to 20 years out,” he said.

“So it has confirmed some confidence in our numbers that any potential expansion that we were initially considering is not required.” Because the existing New Westminster Secondary School was built over a cemetery, once it’s

torn down the land will be turned into a park to memorialize the people buried at the Douglas Road Cemetery between 1860 and 1920. Taking this into consideration, earlier this year the school district asked the Ministry of Education for an extra $6 million to build a fourth floor on the new high school. Hachlaf had said that a fourth floor would be ideal to accommodate a growing student population at a school site that doesn’t have room for portables. The ministry denied the district’s request. “We had a discussion about that additional request, and today the district and the ministry have agreed on the exact contours of the project.We didn’t want to experience any additional delays,”

Fleming said. “It (the school) will house 1,900 students.There’s room for an additional 10 per cent more students, so the capacity could be as high as 2,100. Because of the block schedule and the way the school will be configured so there’s lots of room for growth.” Hachlaf agreed and hopes the long-range planning process will help ease the community’s worries that the new high school is insufficient. But the information included in the long-range plan isn’t available to the public just yet, he said. Currently, trustees are discussing the plan at the in-camera level. Hachlaf expects the report will be made public in the early fall at which time the public will have an opportunity to provide feedback.

Original pool built in 1973 Continued from page 1 McNamara said New Westminster included eight, 50-metre lanes in the Canada Games Pool when it was built for the 1973 Canada Summer Games and the city’s population was 35,000. He said the plan for the new pool also includes eight, 50-metre lanes, but today’s population is 75,000 and is projected to grow to 105,000 in 2041. “This just does not make any sense,” he said. According to McNamara, a 10-lane pool would provide the city with more space for its swim programs and lessons, and allow Hyack to run more programs and increase its financial contributions to the city. While the conceptual plan for the new aquatics facility includes a lazy riv-

er component, McNamara said the city would be better served by including a warm water pool that functions as a leisure pool. He said the

The numbers don’t seem to add up to us.

city should use competitive swimming to leverage federal funding to build a warm water pool for all to enjoy. “I did send an email to Justin Trudeau. I thought, ‘Whatever. I’ll email and see what happens.’ I actually got a reply back from his communications manager who

said they read the email thoroughly and felt this was a very worthwhile cause to investigate, and the email was passed on to the federal infrastructure minister,” McNamara said. “He is obviously aware of the Canada Games Pool.” Despite requests for a 10lane pool, Andrew Lindstrom said that hasn’t been presented as an option for the public to consider for the new aquatic and community centre. He expressed concern the community hasn’t seen a cost-benefit analysis about the cost for 10 lanes. Looking around the region, Lindstrom said similar projects to what’s proposed in New West have been built for around $45 million, which makes him question the proposed $100-million

budget for the local facility. For $100 million, he thinks the city should be able to get a better facility than what is being proposed. “The numbers don’t seem to add up to us,” he said. Mayor Jonathan Cote said staff will present city council with a report in two weeks that includes details about input from the public consultation and detailed cost estimates of the different components of the project. Lindstrom said a 10-lane pool would be more useful to the entire community, not just the Hyack Swim Club. “What you have will eliminate the swim club – a pretty integral part of New West is the Hyack Swim Club,” he added.

Fast facts on the proposed pool replacement * The city plans to build a new $100-million facility to replace the aging Canada Games Pool and Centennial Community Centre. The new facility will be built in such a way that the existing facilities will remain open during construction. * A leisure pool will includes space for swimming, lessons and a lazy river. It will also include sauna and steam rooms, hot pools and a tot zone. * An eight-lane, 50-metre tank will provide space for length swimming, aquatic group fitness, swim lessons and leisure diving.

* Fitness spaces in the facility will provide a place for cardio, spin, free weights and stretching. * The facility will also include: a gymnasium that can be used for basketball, volleyball, pickleball, badminton, floor hockey and other nonsport activities; multipurpose rooms; space for a daycare, and a “welcome centre” for informal gatherings, community events and a café. * To make way for the new facility, the recycling depot and all-weather sports field will need to be removed. The city will consult with the community about options for the recycling

depot and will consider upgrading an existing grass field to turf. * Parking: A parking demand study found the project would require 423 parking spaces, but a more comprehensive traffic study will be done during the design phase. It’s proposed that parking for the aquatics and community centre, the Royal City Curling Club and the Glenbrook fire hall be consolidated on the site. * The main vehicle access point for the site will be via Cumberland. A secondary right-in, right-out entry and exit would be on East Sixth Avenue. - Theresa McManus

Playbox items missing

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Playboxes around the city have had their first equipment refill after only one week since their arrival in New Westminster.The four Live5-2-1-0 playboxes were dropped off at Grimston Park, Hume Park, Moody Park and Ecole Qayqayt Elementary School full of toys and sports equipment on May 19, but by May 24, all the boxes were empty. City of New Westminster recreation programmer Sloane Elphinstone isn’t surprised. “We’re not surprised the toys are disappearing. Maybe they’re disappearing a little faster than what we thought,” she told the Record. The new boxes will be replenished as often as possible, but Elphinstone wants to see the community step up and add a couple items if they notice the box is empty. She’d also like to remind everyone that the toys inside the box are for borrowing, not keeping and they should be returned to their box when not in use. If the toys keep disappearing, eventually the city will run out items to refill the boxes, Elphinstone said. “We’ve got all the supplies here and once they’re done, they’re done, and I don’t know what that’ll mean as far as the future of the program goes, but we’re not looking that far ahead yet.We’re just hoping that the community stands up,” she added. Items in the boxes include basketballs, soccer balls, flying discs, jump ropes, hula hoops and other outdoor equipment. If you’ve got any good condition balls, sand toys and other equipment, just drop it off. The boxes are secured with a combination lock, you can get the code at www.newwestcity.ca/healthy-community.

ing. “If we delay further at this stage, we do put the funding opportunity for the rapid response in jeopardy. I am concerned about that,” said Coun. Patrick Johnstone. “I recognize that council still has the ability to stop this project or delay this project at the public hearing step. We still have the ability to say no at that time or to refer it back to staff and ask for more work to be done at that time, but the opportunity may be lost to move forward – if the decision is to move forward – if we hit that pause button right now. We can hit that pause button at public hearing.” A February 2018 staff report outlined a number of concerns related to the property at 200 Fenton St., including: the lack of site access, which would require an extension of Fenton Street; the location of a Metro Vancouver sewer main, which would have to be bridged; the need for “significant fill deposits and time for ground consolidation” on the site, which is located in the Fraser River flood plain.

project from B.C. Housing. Council gave first and second readings to the bylaws, which will be considered at a public hearing in council chambers on June 26. Council also directed staff to report back before the public hearing about the suitability of building the modular housing project at 200 Fenton St. Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he thinks there is merit to looking at another area for the project, and isn’t comfortable there was a really good consultation regarding the project. He suggested council refer the issue to staff, rather than support first and second readings of the bylaws, as he thinks that the best way to ensure the project moves forward quickly. “I do strongly believe there is an opportunity to get a complete buy-in from the community,” he said. “I would rather deal with it sooner than later – I believe referring it back does this.” Other council members, however, supported moving forward to a public hearing as they fear the city could lose out on provincial fund-

Opinion OUR VIEW

Buying pipeline has boondoggle written all over it

Insanity. That’s the only word that comes to mind when we think about the federal Liberals buying the entire Trans Mountain pipeline project. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged to sink $4.5 billion into the current pipeline and the proposed pipeline expansion – if it successfully gets past all of the court challenges from the B.C. government and others. That’s a big “if” to gamble on.

The other big “if” surrounds the $4.5-billion figure that is being used. Most experts estimate the project would likely cost more like $7.4 billion – or more, depending on how long it takes.The feds said on Tuesday that they will be looking for a new buyer to eventually take over the project, but what if that new buyer doesn’t materialize? After all, watching one company walk away from it isn’t exactly a catchy sales pitch. What if oil prices take an-

The other big ‘if’ surrounds the $4.5-billion ﬁgure that is being used. other dive and it’s not worth it for another company? Once again, that’s a massive gamble of taxpayers’ dollars, especially for a project that a large number of Canadians is against, depending on which poll you choose to believe. And even

the ones who support the project have said in repeated polls that that support is dependent on it being a private project. It was different when Canada forked over billions of dollars in 2009 in the auto bailout because the vast majority of Canadi-

ans supported helping auto workers victimized by the failing U.S. economy. But this? Kinder Morgan is an American company that just got bailed out by our government – all because it was frustrated by Canadians expressing their right to protest and challenge the project in the courts. And for B.C. taxpayers, it must sting even more because most of the longterm jobs involved in the pipeline will be found in Alberta.

Federal Minister of Finance Bill Morneau didn’t do the Liberals any favours during his press conference Tuesday. He basically refused to put a final price tag on what this will cost taxpayers.That means it will cost a lot more than the $4.5-billion figure. Just imagine all of the good that could be done for the environment by spending $4.5 billion on programs that will reduce climate change, instead of increase it.

Dix is hitting big home runs

As befits a guy who has the most money to spend in government, Health Minister Adrian Dix has been busy. Every week seems to produce a major announcement. And judging from the reaction from medical professionals, for the most part Dix is hitting home runs. Take the most recent announcement about the recruitment of 200 family doctors and 200 nurse practitioners. Such action is urgently required and long overdue. More than 700,000 British Columbians lack access to a family physician, and that number is growing.While the previous B.C. Liberal government promised to rectify the situation and guarantee a family doctor for everyone, it proved unable to fulfil a promise considered by many as unrealistic. Dix’s vow to hire 200 more family doctors won’t solve the shortage problem, but it’s a healthy start. So is the decision to recruit all those nurse practitioners, who will be able to join team-based practices that can help families. Dr. David Kim, president of the Resident Doctors of B.C., lauded the announcement, saying it would greatly benefit new physicians. Another ambitious plan is to create a network of urgent care centres around the province, again using a team-based approach that includes various medical professionals.The threeyear program should take some of the pressure off emergency rooms that often become clogged during

times like flu season. Dix announced a plan to perform 5,000 additional surgeries for hip and knee replacements – a 23 per cent increase in one year. There will be a new central surgery unit created at Vancouver General Hospital. Then there is the decision to fund 37,000 more MRI procedures, a 20 per cent increase in one year. Dix’s ministry does indeed have a lot of money, a fact that seems to be taken for granted by many folks these days. This year alone will see the health budget receive an additional $850 million in new funding, bringing the total budget to a staggering $19.8 billion. Next year will see a further $870 million added, and the budget will exceed $21 billion the next year as well. But Dix must ensure there are enough medical professionals in the labour pool to provide this planned increase in surgeries. The one initiative that has drawn criticism is Dix’s vow to crack down on private health clinics starting Oct. 1. Such a move could increase wait lists in the public system, according to private clinic operators. Dix counters that clinics do mostly MRIs and joint replacement surgeries, the two areas that he has prepped for big increases on the public side. In any event, I suspect Dix is not done yet. More reforms and change will follow, and that’s likely good news for those who need to access the system. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Safe-sex kits go like hotcakes

Condomania. For local students headed to college in September, it wasn’t a boom in the housing market but a safe-sex initiative. The Douglas College Student Society teamed up with the New Westminster Department of Health and Simon Fraser Health Unit to hand out safe-sex kits, including a condom, lubricant and instructions, to students in a bid to protect them from sexually transmitted infections. The items went like hotcakes, with volunteers handing out 750 kits in an hour. “If they are being sexually active, they need to take care,” said project coordinator Devorah Kahn.

Letters Fed up with smokers ignoring the signs Editor: I live at 615 Belmont (in Belmont Tower). There is a small smoke shop immediately outside the entrance to our lobby. The covered area entrance to our lobby is a favourite for smokers to gather while playing the online games visible on the screen inside the smoke shop. We frequently have to pass by the smokers just to enter our lobby. But an even bigger concern has to be the parklet on Belmont Street, just outside of Tim’s and Burger King. It clearly has become a “smokers’ pit” in spite of “no smoking” signs (which are not enforced). Cigarette butts and fast food junk litter the area. Cigarette smoke is always there. We had welcomed the parklet as a nice addition to the urban landscape, but I am afraid it has become something no one had intended. Simply put, it is a refuge for smokers to hang out. The areas seem not to be monitored or patrolled by any business in the block. Also, I have never seen staff from any of the businesses make any cleanup efforts. Where is the responsibility of pride in one’s neighbourhood? Jerry Mandoli, New Westminster

Thanks for saving my life Editor: I am writing this letter to thank everyone that saved my life last month. On April 5, I decided to take my dog Whitney out for a walk and dinner at a local outdoor patio as it was her eighth birthday. While walking home at approximately 7 p.m. along Carnarvon Street,

I felt winded. I asked a couple of students passing by to call 911. Nobody responded to me, so I tried to walk home, which was three blocks away. After about 10 seconds I collapsed and fell on the sidewalk in the rain. A lady saw me fall and asked me what she could do. I asked her to call 911 as I was having breathing problems. Forty-five minutes later the ambulance arrived and picked me up off the sidewalk soaking wet and freezing. I would like to personally thank this lady that called 911 and waited in the rain with me and my 12-pound dog until the ambulance arrived. After spending five days in ICU at Royal Columbia Hospital I was released to go home to my wife and dog. I would also like to say thank you to every staff member that took care of me. This was the first time that I had ever gone to a hospital, and I would like to say that the staff was amazing. I bought and moved into New Westminster six years ago, and I can tell you that this will be my home for life. Trevor Morgan, New Westminster

Loving those bumps Editor: Speed bumps making life better for our street, The Record, May 17 We too are pleased by the recent installation of temporary speed bumps along Quayside Drive. Since then there has been a noticeable reduction in over-all vehicle speeds together with a decline in traffic volume. Perhaps the city, in considering the benefits these bumps have brought to our street, might make them permanent. B. Pybus, New Westminster

Arts plan to get more ‘cooking’ Julie MacLellan

jmacllellan@newwestrecord.ca

It’s like when you have the lasagna baking and you open the oven door to check on it: “You think it’s done, but the cheese hasn’t melted yet.” With that metaphor, Mayor Jonathan Cote summed up NewWestminster city council’s reaction to the city’s recently released draft arts strategy, Our Arts Impact 2018-2023. At a council workshop Monday, councillors unanimously agreed to send comments on the draft strategy back to staff for another look.The city’s arts commission and the arts strategy task force – the group of community members that spearheaded the document’s creation, alongside an outside facilitator – are also meeting Thursday (May 31) to look at where to go from here. “There is some good work that has been done and some value, but I think … there is some more work to be done,” Cote said. “We want to take the time to make sure we’re getting it right.” The draft of the new arts strategy was unveiled at an April 26 meeting at Anvil Centre following a two-year process that included extensive public consultation. But, once the draft was unveiled, members of the arts community raised criticisms – among them that it wasn’t written in plain enough language, that it wasn’t specific enough

to NewWestminster, and that it emphasized the city’s role as a driver of the arts but didn’t pay enough attention to the artists and arts groups. “We heard back that there were some things that were missing, that we didn’t get correct,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue, who chairs both the city’s arts commission and the arts strategy task force. “The best solution at this point is for us to regroup.” Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the criticism of the document is something that happens in public processes – when, he said, the city hears so many varying points of view from so many people. “I think it’s a public engagement success,” he said. He noted he’s heard a lot from the arts community that the strategy focuses too much on the city “driving the bus” for the arts, and he added that the document needs to simplify a lot of the concepts it’s trying to convey. “I do think this needs more cooking,” he said. Cote said the draft arts strategy has left some big question marks, such as how the city will try to maximize the benefits of the Anvil Centre as a hub of arts and culture, and how the city will proceed in its future as the owner and operator of the Anvil and Massey theatres. He said many of the ideas in the arts strategy are “vague and broad” and need to be brought down to more specific levels.

Coun. LorrieWilliams agreed that the Anvil Centre and its accessibility to the local arts community is something that needs to be addressed, noting that, as it stands, many groups feel cost is prohibitive in accessing the theatre and other rooms at Anvil Centre. “Local people feel they are squeezed out a bit,” she said. Coun. Bill Harper noted the document should address the city’s multicultural communities and how the city will work to encourage the arts in those communities. Inclusion was also important to Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, who suggested the city needs to find ways to reach out to multicultural communities. As he stands, it said, the arts strategy seems to be too broad. “We’re trying to please everybody, and in doing so, we don’t seem to be pleasing anybody,” he said. Coun. Jaimie McEvoy suggested the city needs to look at how to integrate the arts with the city’s other operations, such as fitting it in to the economic development strategy. “I believe in art for art’s sake, but I want to also have an arts plan that can be measured,” he said. He also stressed the arts strategy needs to encompass NewWestminster’s uniqueness. “I want to see the heritage, I want to see the diversity, but I also want to see the community pride and the quirkiness,” he said.

City looks to reduce some security deposits Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster is taking action to reduce renovation costs for some homeowners. The city is working on a policy in support of housing affordability, relating to nonmarket and select market housing. Until that’s done, staff recommended council support interim provisions to reduce some fees and security deposits for select small-scale, resident-initiatJ U S TD LISTE

ed market strata renovation projects. A staff report states that many of the older buildings in the city provide affordable market ownership but are nearing an age when significant renovations will be required to extend their life. The city believes supporting cost-effective renovations of small, older strata buildings is consistent with the affordable housing strategy developed by the city in 2010. For now, the city is taking steps aimed at reducing J U S TD LISTE

$599,800

the cost and time of applications, including those related to the removal of some trees. In addition to endorsing the interim fees, charges and securities provisions included in a May 7 report, council also directed staff to explore permanent provisions for small market strata renovations as part of developing an overall fees policy in support of housing affordability, including both non-market and select market housing. Coun. Patrick Johnstone

said the proposal is “a really great initiative” but suggested council direct staff to report back with more information about security deposits. “I don’t have any problem with the idea of a security deposit. My problem is that we are sometimes taking tens of thousands of dollars from people at a time of economic stress and we are just going to give it back to them six months later,” he said. “I would just like to reduce that stress.”

B.C. funds Year of Recovery events Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The Last Door Recovery Society is teaming up with the provincial government to spread the word about drug and alcohol addiction with $50,000 forYear of Recovery events. Plans include the Recovery Day Festival being held in New Westminster on Sept. 8. “One way to help stop the overdose crisis is to inspire people with lived experience to share their stories of hope,” Giuseppe Ganci, chair of Recovery Week B.C. and director of community development at Last Door Recovery Society, said in a press release. “We cannot lose sight of people helping people during this crisis.” Year of Recovery includes a variety of community events that support positive health and health-care delivery and celebrate the many pathways to recovery. Events will focus on mental health and addictions, including prevention, awareness and reducing stigma. “Hundreds of British Columbians are in recovery,

and many of them found their way, based on the inspiration shared by those with lived experience,” said New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy, the province’s minister of mental health and addictions. “With the unprecedented overdose crisis currently taking place in B.C., a Year of Recovery brings important focus on the many successes and positive life changes that continue to take place throughout the province.” Recovery Week B.C., which is being held Sept. 3 to 8, will provide an opportunity for service providers to engage with the public to raise awareness about drug and alcohol recovery, and provide information about

supports and services to people living with addiction. “My journey in recovery has been difficult at times. However, the connections I made to people in recovery, and their welcoming encouragement, is one of the reasons I was able to come back after several overdoses,” Michael Kalicum, a young man with experience in recovery, said in a press release. “My friends inspired me; these events connected me, and they make me want to be part of recovery.” The second annual Recovery Capital Conference of Canada takes place at Anvil Centre on Sept. 6 and 7, and the Recovery Day B.C. Festival returns to uptown New West on Sept. 8.

Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A hole punch and scissors are the tools of the trade for Dr. Recycle. Oliver Samonte, aka Dr. Recycle, is set to celebrate Environment Week by hosting Recyclethon workshops at River Market on Wednesday, June 6 and Thursday, June 7 from 1 to 6 p.m. He’ll help kids aged three and up make all sorts of creatures out of empty milk jugs, yogurt cups and paper cups – a talent he picked up as a child. “I grew up in the Philippines.There was a toy store – we would only go there to get ideas,” he said. “We never bought anything.We never had the money.” Samonte, who moved to Canada in 1991, began hosting Junkology workshops years ago. In addition to hosting workshops, Samonte has held several recyclethons to raise funds for children’s hospitals. All donations made at the upcoming event at River Market will be donated to B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Queensborough, New Westminster Reuse, recycle: Oliver Samonte, left, with kids showing their creations from a Junkology event. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Families attending the event at River Market are encouraged to bring empty four-litre milk jugs so they can create a creature. “I show kids how to do it,” said the New West resident. “The most popular ones are the whale, the shark and the duck.” Samonte draws the lines on the milk jugs and kids can cut it out to create their shape – or kids can follow his example and do it themselves if they prefer. “I still bring yogurt containers, I still bring paper

cups so the kids can still do something. If they show up without a milk jug, they can still do something,” he said. Turtles, butterflies with wings that flutter, caterpillars and dinosaurs are among the creations that can be made with paper cups and yogurt containers. “I don’t use glue in junkology – no glue allowed,” Samonte said. “All the projects that I show are put together with a hole punch and scissors.Those are my tools of trade.” See www.junkology.com.

Community There’s a new F-word in parenting Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Just when I thought I had escaped the inevitable, it happened. My eight-year-old son came home from school and promptly asked, “Mom, please can I download Fortnite? Everyone else at school is playing it, and it’s all everyone is talking about, and I promise I won’t play it too much, and it’s not too violent; it’s more like working together as a team, and, and, and…” The new F-word had hit my home, and I knew it wasn’t going to go away anytime soon. And did I give in? Of course I did. Let’s face it, parents, the digital world has turned us into hypocrites. One moment we’re preaching to the kids that the “but everyone else is doing it” argument just isn’t going to cut it, and the next, we’re lazily giving in to the parental peer pressures of providing our kids with the same mind-numb-

ing games their peers are playing online, so they don’t miss out – or maybe so they’ll just stop bugging us. In the beginning, I swore my children would enjoy an unplugged childhood.The time suck and brain drain of electronics just didn’t seem necessary, and they weren’t asking, so why would I offer? When they entered school, they surreptitiously succumbed to the pressures of their peers, and admittedly, I submitted to their pleas. First it was Pokémon cards. “Please mom, everyone has them and they’re trading them at school and I’m left out and they’re so cool and…” Then it shifted to the online space with the massive move to Minecraft. And now, the latest gaming craze has hit the playground, and parents like me are giving in, without fully understanding what Fortnite is, or how it will impact their lives. Like many parents, my kids broke me down, and I gave in. But it wasn’t without setting some serious boundaries and doing a live

walk-through of the game alongside my kids. I wanted to understand what I was getting into, and while I wasn’t fully on board with what I discovered, I knew that once the download had completed, there was no going back. I’ve learned some lessons about Fortnite so far that I think are important for you as parents to know before your child dives into this digital battleground.

The digital world has turned us into hypocrites First, know that allowing them to play won’t shush the incessant mentioning of the F-word. Just yesterday, my son pleaded politely, “Mom, please can you buy me a battle pass so I can get two skins (outfits of armour)? Everyone’s making fun of me because I’m still a Newb (new to the game).” I haven’t said yes to that one – yet.

If your child is allowed to play, know that other parents can potentially see how often and for how long a day your child is online, and if your child is playing with a headset (because they can talk to each other live during the game), know that the parents of their online friends can sometimes hear you in the background (goodbye privacy!). I thought I had maintained control of the situation, setting time limits, restricting game play to headset-free mobile devices, and walking my children through the process so I could understand the rules. Tonight, I let the time limit slip. Bedtime was quickly approaching, so I announced to the room of Fortnite fiends that it was time to unplug. And, just when I thought I had my parenting partner on board, my husband’s deep voice murmured from the living room, “Aw come on, just five more minutes?” Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant.

Who doesn’t enjoy music, whether by listening to it, singing, or playing an instrument? Yet, many schools are having to do away with their music education programs.

How did you get involved in this industry? What inspired you to enter into this industry and begin your business? By accident. I was investigating the fast food industry when the opportunity to own a Bosley’s came up. At the time I had two rescue animals. I was already dedicated to making a difference in the lives of pets, so I took that desire and created my business around it.

Music Box

Welcome to Music Box New Westminster’s Music Academy, a boutique-style conservatory that promises to enrich yours and/or your child’s life. Founded in January 2013 by owner Vashti Fairbairn, the school has already garnered numerous accolades, including 2015, 2016 & 2017 Readers Choice for Best Place for Music Instruction, New Westminster Platinum Award for Small Business of the Year, nominated for Best Musical Director in the Vancouver Ovation Awards and most recently won Top 25 Music Alumni from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Vashti is a dynamic leader who has also been lauded for her musical achievements – she is a four-time nominee and two-time time winner - Best Music Director in the Vancouver Community Theatre Coalition Awards and was nominated for Best Music Director in the Vancouver Ovation Awards.

The academy offers everything from private music lessons in Piano, Voice, Drums, Guitar, Ukulele, Flute, Violin, Theory, Song Writing, Performance Coaching, preschool music classes, music camps and more for all ages, new born to retired.

She completed her musical education at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Capilano University and the Royal Conservatory of Music. Vashti credits her team of talented, professional and wonderful teachers and staff for its resounding success. “We go the extra mile and care about our students and want to see them succeed in what they do. So if that means, extra training time before a festival/recital/exam or extra performance

What skills are required to succeed in this industry? What traits do you have that make you particularly skilled to do this kind of business? 1. Passion – for animals, learning and teaching 2. Attention to detail – constant learning about product advancements and connecting each pet owner with what they need 3. Ethics – The industry is evolving quickly and I wanted to part of helping to advance it responsibly and ethically What challenges do you ﬁnd the hardest about doing well in doing business as a woman? How have you overcome this? Regardless of gender, running a business has its challenges. You have to be open, willing to learn, embrace mistakes, move forward, accept change, criticism and you’ll never please everyone. Technology has had a profound effect on how we all do business. What applications are you using to beneﬁt your business? Are there any in the future you are anticipating? Social media has been one of the best ways to

connect with our community and for me to share with them information from the world of pet health, trends and events What broader plans do you have for the future of your business? I want to continue being the local neighborhood store, a trusted meeting point where people can access the resources they need for their pets. Beyond the store, I want to continue my work on the board of PIJAC (Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council) Canada, advocating on behalf of responsible pet businesses and helping others raise their standards. How do you describe your management style? I am honest, direct and no-nonsense. I don’t believe in wasting peoples time or money – whether you are a staff member or a pet owner. I try to include my staff in decisions and I keep them apprised of the progress as needed.

needs won’t be addressed. To fill the gap, Mackenzie is recommending the creation of a new Community Drives program that would be administered under the existing home-support program. According to Mackenzie, the provincial home support program assesses the physical and cognitive function of seniors, determines what their needs are, determines how much they can contribute to the cost of needed services and hires, schedules and supervises thousands of staff working every day to assist seniors in maintaining their independence. “Along with helping sen-

iors get bathed, dressed and ensuring they take their medications, the program could easily schedule someone to pick up the senior and take them to a medical appointment,” said a news release from the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate. “Using the existing infrastructure of home support will allow the program to get up and running quickly and will reduce duplication.” In addition to the new service, Mackenzie has called for improvements on a number of fronts. See sidebar at right for some of the highlights of what she’s recommending.

What does B.C. need? Here are some highlights of what seniors advocate Isobel Mackenzie is recommending: ! The province should coordinate with ICBC to get information about transportation alternatives and other community supports into the hands of those seniors who are not renewing their driver’s licence. ! The province should work with local governments to explore ways of achieving more pedestrianfriendly communities. ! Support people who volunteer to drive their family members, friends or neighbours to medical appointments, through a tax relief program.

! The province should work with B.C. Transit and TransLink to establish a standardized, provincewide “Seniors Bus Buddies” program that will connect seniors with local volunteers or staff that will work with the senior to initiate them into the use of public transit. ! The province should work with B.C. Transit and TransLink to increase the number of benches at bus stops. ! Create an annual seniors bus pass with fee based on income. The pass should be considered eligible payment on HandyDART if the passenger has a HandyCard or handyPASS.

My grandfather always said, “if you can see over the counter you were old enough to work”. That was the start of a career and a passion. I am a third generation jeweller as my grandfather, James Cartwright started the business in 1933, my father, Don Cartwright followed in his footsteps. In 1985 I joined the family business and have in turn taken it over. This year we celebrated our 85th year in business. My philosophy is “Always give back to the community for they are the ones who are supporting you.” Excellent customer service has been and will always be the cornerstone of our family business, combined with consistent top-quality craftsmanship and design. This is the reason for the continued success of our jewellery store. As a third-generation business it is truly an honour to serve customers who dealt with my father or grandfather and to help their children and their children’s children. I have recently been elected President of the Board of the Uptown Business Association, proud promoters and advocates for the businesses, services, events and activities in Uptown New Westminster.

Brian and I have been happily married for 25 years, and our daughter Chelsea runs Cartwright Jewelers E-mails, all social media; Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I am also a proud Grandmother of 4 little munchkin’s, and another one on the way in August. Life is good!

Jeanie Bezdan, RMT Managing Partner Royal City Health & Manual Therapy Inc. How did you get involved in this industry? What inspired you to enter into this industry and begin your business? I became interested in the program after meeting my now husband and business partner (Rick Tkach), who was studying for his board exams. When I started practicing with him in 1995 we found ourselves regularly recommending physiotherapy to our clients, so we decided to integrate. What skills are required to succeed in this industry? We have a top team of therapists including six physiotherapists, six massage therapists, a dietitian and clinical counsellor. Our front desk staff are highly professional and provide a friendly, warm and welcoming environment. Clients have commented that they feel a good “vibe” when walking through our door. Over the last 25 years our clinic has nurtured significant good will, and now a large number of our new clients find us through word of mouth, and we often see entire families. Technology has had a profound effect on how we all do business. What applications are you using to benefit your business? We have a spacious, modern gym, and last year we purchased a Shockwave machine for treatment of chronic injuries. Each practitioner offers a range of skills to help clients with their pain. Since our technology is mostly in

our hands, our practitioners regularly invest in continuing education, keeping them on the forefront of any new techniques. What broader plans do you have for the future of your business? Our future plans include an expansion, and the recruitment of more top therapists. Our clinic now hosts the West Coast College of Massage Therapy student outreach every Saturday. We offer full treatments for $30. We also have a massage therapy graduate who is interning at our clinic. How do you describe your management style? I am a big believer in old-fashioned lists, and early in the morning I sip my coffee and write out what I plan to accomplish that day. What are the top three traits you look for in hiring staff? Plans for continuing education. Interest in working as a team member. Has researched our clinic. Is there a person who has inspired you to go beyond your comfort level? I come from a family of entrepreneurs. My sister purchased our dad’s business years ago and has expanded that company, and she has been a source of inspiration for me. Our own staff, including our front desk manager Joniel have shown that they are motivated to step out of their comfort zone, and have taken initiative on many occasions.

Of your accomplishments, what are you most proud of? We won Reader’s Choice award for Best Clinic in 2016, and our physios Nick and Victor have won Three Best Rated and the A-List. We regularly raise funds for charity, including Children’s Hospital, the Food Bank, Canadian Cancer Society and the Empty Stocking Fund. As a business owner, what are your top three priorities? Our goal is to provide the best in care with the latest technology, in a friendly and welcoming environment. What advice have you found useful? What advice would you give to someone starting out? Explore the large range of continuing education courses available. Find a mentor who can help you develop your techniques, and focus on providing the best service you possibly can to your clients.

Arts & Entertainment Paper collage at Plaskett Paper collage is the medium of choice for the latest exhibition at Plaskett Gallery. The gallery at Massey Theatre is presenting (In)habit, featuring works by Susan Jessop, from June 1 to 29. An opening reception is set for Friday, June 1 from 5 to 7 p.m. Jessop completed a bachelor’s degree in fine art in the U.K. and spent 20 years balancing her own art practice with education work in museums and galleries. After she moved to Canada in 2005, Jessop found herself increasingly influenced by the landscape of B.C. She’s been working primarily with collage since 2013 and uses the art form to weave her experiences of the landscape, wildlife and culture of Canada with her memories of the U.K. and her travels. “As a visual artist, I make work that helps me to make sense of my surroundings,” Jessop said in a press release. “Moving houses and living in different coun-

I see these created spaces as a stage set for our experiences. I wonder how our domestic interior spaces reflect our lives and aspirations.” Jessop notes the forests of B.C. have also been weaving themselves into her work. “I collect imagery which relates to the interior spaces we inhabit and the way

these spaces intersect with our natural surroundings,” she said, noting she uses paper collage to explore that intersection. “Interior and exterior push and full at one another, creating an elasticity and an intention to blur the boundaries of the other.” Plaskett Gallery is at Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 1 to 5 p.m. and during performances at the theatre.

participate in the 23rd Annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament on July 17th at Mayfair Lakes Golf Club. Over the past 22 years, this event has raised almost $500,000 for local charities. Over $33,000 was raised from last year’s tournament alone.The Rotary Clubs’ principal focus has been on funding programs for youth in New Westminster, and we will continue to promote them. Again this year, the two local Rotary Clubs will also donate a portion of the net proceeds to Salvation Army (New Westminster) and the Lower Mainland Purpose Society (an alternate education facility) to further their valuable work with youth facing their own challenges in the community. We believe we need to invest in our youth, since they are our future. Past tournaments have been sold out. We hope to repeat that success this year.

We invite you to participate in the tournament as a sponsor, donor or golfer...or, ideally, all three and join us in a day of golf and camaraderie and support our work in your community at the same time. See our website at www.rotarypotofgoldgolf.com for more information and forms. Help us get over the half million dollar mark!

QUEEN’S PARK PET HOSPITAL Question:

How can I make visits to the pet hospital less stressful for my dog and cat? Answer: An excellent option is to visit veterinarians and pet professionals who have done specific training and certification to be Fear Free Certified. Certified veterinary team members want to reduce the fear, anxiety and stress that your pet experiences during a veterinary visit. Both your pet’s physical and emotional wellbeing will be cared for! In a Fear Free veterinary hospital, the receptionist will help you first prepare your pet for travel to his or her appointment. Specific techniques as well as pet calming pheromone sprays may be recommended. Previsit anti-anxiety medication may be dispensed prior to your pet’s visit. You will be invited to make social visits to your veterinary hospital with your dog so your dog has the opportunity to socialize with the veterinary team, to enjoy the toys and play area and to visit the very delicious ‘treat bar’. By making frequent fun social visits, on appointment day, your dog is much more likely to be relaxed and happy. Pet calming pheromones are infused throughout the hospital using diffusers. Pet calming music will be softly playing in the hospital. Your pet will feel like he or she is visiting the ‘spaw’! Veterinary team members who have undergone Fear Free training, use gentle handling and restraint procedures when examining and caring for pets. Pets will be given lots of delicious treats during the visit, and dogs will be encouraged to play and show off their tricks which helps them relax. In low-stress veterinary hospitals, non-slip yoga mats are used on examination room tables or on the floor. If cats are unwilling to come out of their carriers on their own, a team member will offer to remove the top of the carrier so your cat can remain in the carrier bottom to be examined where he or she feels safe and secure. Visit www.fearfreepets.com to learn more about Fear Free veterinary visits and for an online directory of Fear Free veterinary and pet professionals.

What is respite care?

Many people receiving home and community care services are assisted by friends and/ or family members. Respite services can give family/friend caregivers temporary relief from the WENDY J SCOTT emotional and physical demands of RN, BScN, MA caring for a friend or family member, and provide an opportunity to participate in community activities. Respite services may be provided at home through home support services, in community through adult day services, or on a short-term basis in a residential care facility, hospice or other community care setting. Respite services are suitable if your family member or friend caring for you could beneﬁt from a break from their caregiving responsibilities.

It is important to check your dog for ticks after any outdoor activity, and have them removed immediately by a veterinarian. DR. MANJU ARORA Ticks often attach onto a dog’s neck, head and ears. Ticks carry many bloodborne diseases including Lyme Disease which can also affect humans. There are several veterinary products to prevent ticks on dogs. Ticks can be prevented using a monthly liquid topical treatment that is also effective against ﬂeas. A new prescription tablet is now available from your veterinarian that will protect your dog against ticks and ﬂeas for 12 weeks with a single dose. Talk to your veterinarian about the product that is best for your dog.

Q A

What is Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure®? And how is it different from acupuncture? The most obvious difference is, no needles.

Asian people held points with their fingers first. This means people were JULIE JOYAL having measurable experiences Bodymind Acupressurist ® before the needles. According to Acupressure: Way of Health: Jin Shin Do® by Iona Marsaa Teguarden, the founder of Jin Shin Do®, there is no stronger conductor of ki in the world than the human hand.“Jin Shin Do” means “The Way of the Compassionate Spirit.” The Jin Shin Do® Bodymind Acupressure® technique uses gentle yet deep finger pressure on specific acu-points and verbal Body Focusing techniques, to help release “armoring” or chronic tension, balance the “Ki” or energy, and improve vitality. This clothes-on method helps relieve stress- and traumarelated problems. Words cannot explain the feelings and experiences that come with complete relaxation.and tips around caregiver burnout were the same as what someone may experience with any type of burnout.

ASK A REALTOR

Q A

I am the executor of my parent’s home. Is marketing and selling the home a good idea while we wait for probate?

Ask yourself this question…How comfortable would you feel buying a home that had a seller condition for 60, 90, maybe even 120 days, knowing that if the DERRICK THORNHILL sellers simply did not remove that condition your Park Georgia Realty deal would be dead? Would you feel comfortable enough to put your current home on the market before that condition was removed? And, if the condition were not removed how would that affect you and your family? These are the questions I ask any purchaser that is considering buying a home in probate. My advice to anyone selling an estate is to wait until probate is complete.Avoid these questions potentially being asked to your prospective buyer. Selling after probate is cleaner and simpler and remember…you only get one chance to make a ﬁrst impression and /or multiple offers. Don’t muddy the waters.After all, I would bet dollars to donuts, that home and property will be worth more in 4-6 months than it is today anyways!

What is Skin Microbiome?

Like the gut, the skin has its own microbiome universe, a complex ecosystem of fungi, bacteria and archaea that serves as the foundation for healthy skin. Our skin’s structure and function is absolutely essential to our general KATIE MARSHALL health. The skin microbiome, found at the surface of the skin, is your skin’s ﬁrst line of defense. The three elements of a healthy skin barrier are the skin microbiome, the acid mantle and the lipid barrier, which work in harmony to protect against irritants, environmental damage and infection. When our skin microbiome is out of balance with our modern lifestyle assaults of our gut microbiome through antibiotic overuse, consumption of foods that disrupt gut ﬂora, which leads to many skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis, yeast and fungal infections, acne, rosacea, dandruff, just to name a few.

The Group of Five and Friends is grateful to citizens who help it buy much-needed equipment for Royal Columbian Hospital. Gerda Suess, one of the founders of the Group of Five, said the non-profit raised enough money at its recent luncheon at Centennial Lodge in Queen’s Park to buy a vascular doppler machine for Royal Columbian Hospital. She recently appeared before city council to express thanks to the city and citizens who support the group’s efforts. Mayor Jonathan Cote commended the group for the “important work” it does in the community. He said Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation is really appreciative of the Group of Five’s efforts to raise funds for equipment at the hospital. AMBASSADORS WANTED Youth are invited to get

The society is looking for young men and women aged 15 to 18 who want to represent the city through MetroVancouver and B.C. During their year as ambassadors, the youths will volunteer at a variety of events in NewWestminster including NewWest Grand Prix and Canada Day and will represent the city at events like parades. In addition to having fun while representing the city and contributing to the community, the program will appeal to teens looking for mentorship and leadership growth, earning grants toward post-secondary education and volunteer credit hours for school.

Fraser River ﬂood watch isn’t a new story in New West Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Over the past few weeks, the news has been filled with stories of rising water in rivers, creeks and lakes and of flooding in areas around the province. For those who live around New Westminster and watch the Fraser River, it has become a daily activity to note the level of the river at high and low tide as

well as the amount of debris floating by on its downstream voyage. The news has also been filled with references to the massive 1948 flood and how things worked out at that time, 70 years ago. If you are familiar with river history in B.C., then you know that there are other years of extensive flooding in our past. Floods in 1894 truly stand out, as do 1882 and 1876.

A quick look at our flood research offers some interesting information from the 1882 high water. A couple of single lines in the paper of May/June 1882 summarized the times: “Weather continues brilliantly fine, river is rising very fast” and “The river is rising, and as a matter of course, the number of salmon taken has fallen off.” FromYale, the following line in a report points to a

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

situation that sounds hauntingly familiar: “The Fraser is booming. Last year we had too much fire, now we have too much water. Buildings on the river are partially submerged and those in most danger are supported – by logs, stone and brush. The wagon road, up line, is covered at such an extent that travel is at a standstill.” At Matsqui, the flood gates at the dyke had given way and a large area was in-

undated by the river’s rushing water: “The giving way of the flood gates to this very important work is a great misfortune not only for Mr. Sword but for the farmers and landowners in the vicinity who are now exposed to all the difficulties that beset them before the dyke was constructed.” In the Chilliwack area the water was overwhelming: “Sumas prairie looks like a gulf and Chilliwack

looks no better except there is no heavy sea.The water is into almost all the houses, and canoes are plying on all the roads – the loss is very heavy, but fortunately no lives lost up to the present.” As the effects of the flooding became more well-known, descriptions of buildings, roads and rail lines were reported. This is a B.C. story that repeats and bears watching.

Royal City hits for 50 medals at Jr. Olympics Track and field club cleaned up at Surrey event, including Ava Forsyth winning two races Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

The Royal City Track and Field Club hit the halfcentury mark last week – but it has nothing to do with age. The club sent a fleet of athletes to compete at the Junior Olympics track meet in Surrey, where the squad collaborated on a 50-medal weekend. Nearly 60 junior development athletes made the trek from the New Westminster-based club, returning a bit weighted down by hardware. A number of athletes snapped up multiple medals, including Ava Forsyth, Mballany Kambidi and Olivia Robinson. Forsyth won a pair of events, the 10-yearold girls 600- and 1000-metre races and picked up silver in high jump, while 12-year-old Kambidi captured gold in both the 80m hurdles and 200m, with a bronze in 100m tossed in. Robinson finished first in the nine-year-old division’s 60m and high jump, and added third in 100m. Here are more Royal City club results: 9 year olds – Aiden Allenby, 2nd HJ; Jacob Billard, 2nd 60m; Amara Chiang, 1st s/p;Tirell Cunningham, 2nd HJ, 3rd 60m; Mia Grace, 2nd 600m; Nathalie Roulston, 2nd s/p; Nathan Sedore, 2nd HJ. 10 year olds – Abby Brolin, 2nd s/p; Nissa Dann, 1st 100m; Marek Laga, 3rd 60m H; Maresa Loconte, 2nd disc, 3rd s/p;Talia Phangura, 1st disc, s/p; Jackson Schiebler, 2nd 600m, 1000m. 11 year olds – Mary Montakhab, 2nd s/p, 3rd disc; Ben Williams, 3rd HJ; EllieYong, 2nd 60m, 3rd 100, 200 and 600m. 12 year olds – Zehra Ali, 2nd 800m; Noah Brolin, 2nd 200m; Indira Chiang, 1st s/p, 2nd 80m H; Ross McCrae, 3rd 200m; Lishan Melles-Hewitt, 3rd HJ. 13 year old – Kairo Chiang, 2nd 200m, 3rd HJ; Levi Tuura, 1st HJ; AnnikaYong, 3rd 80m H.

‘Bellies captain amped for Mann run Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Last year’s amazing run, which saw the New Westminster Salmonbellies turn a fourth-place finish into a Mann Cup march, proved to be an elixir for many, fans and players alike. The thrill of the win and the sting of defeat – falling 4-2 to Peterborough in the national championship, after winning the first two games – stoked the fires of many, and proved to be a swan song for some. Chalk New West captain Curtis Hodgson down for the former. “I am pumped and excited to be able to play another year with the ‘Bellies,” Hodgson told the Record. “I think all of us feel there’s

something to finish, that we were on the cusp of doing something really special and want to give it another try.” He got that opportunity as the team recently launched the new season against the Maple Ridge Burrards -- the same Burrards who the ‘Bellies battled in a seven-game marathon in last year’s Western Lacrosse Association semifinal. The ‘Bellies won their first game of the season decisively last Thursday (May 24) with a final score of 13-6 against the Burrards. Jordan McBride opened the scoring at 2:17 at Queen’s Park Arena with a power-play goal, and the first period ended with the ‘Bellies leading 4-2. New Westminster strengthened its lead in the second period to 8-5, and took the win after

getting five goals in the third period to Maple Ridge’s one solo point. The players played well against their “big rival” Maple Ridge, said New West GM/president Dan Richardson, especially as the offence got going in the second half. “It’s great to start off on the right foot,” Richardson said. “The players and coaches were excited but it’s just the first step.” Since his first game in the WLA in 2002, playing one game each for Burnaby and Coquitlam as a junior callup, Hodgson has jumped onto the floor with the passion of a teenager driving his first nice car. He’s put the pedal to the metal ever since, and since joining New West in 2010, has missed only six regular season games.

The longtime ‘Bellies defender caused some alarm bells to ring last fall when he announced he was retiring from the Vancouver Stealth of the National Lacrosse League. He noted that decision was always independent from his views on playing again in New West. “I think there were a number of reasons (to retire), but I just reached a point where I couldn’t do everything that was required to maintain and play at the pro level, with the practice and travel that involves,” he noted. The past few years have also seen him move from a classroom role, teaching at Burnaby Central, to an administrative job at Burnaby South Secondary. In his day job as vice-principal at Burnaby South,

Hodgson juggles the various tasks of an educator and administrator. It’s his sporting hobby where he gets to let it all hang out, wrangling opposing players from the shooting alley and battling for loose balls. Priorities are still family and career first, but lacrosse has played such a large role in his life that he doesn’t want to leave it until he’s ready. He’s not ready yet. For a guy entering his 15th season of senior lacrosse and fresh off a Mann Cup run, the dog days of summer are never a concern. “I’m definitely excited to play lacrosse, and last year was a great experience, despite the outcome,” Hodgson noted. “I think the biggest thing I got from it was experience – you gain a lot of

experience playing a second season like that.” Richardson was just as excited as his captain when Hodgson signed up for another season. “He’s absolutely back, and he’s our leader. He’s looked good at training camp and it’s like he has almost renewed energy because he didn’t play with the Stealth this year. He looks hungry. Our camp has been a very upbeat, fast-paced camp and the coaches are getting to know our players and vice versa. (First-year head coach Rory McDade) is very much wanting that fast pace coming out of the backend, and so far we like what we see.” The ‘Bellies play the Nanaimo Timbermen tonight (Thursday) at 7 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena.

INFORMATION WANTED

NEW WESTMINSTER - It is with deep sorrow the family of Gary Allen Rhode announces Gary’s passing on May 23, 2018, at age 49 from cancer. Gary is survived by his wife, Kenna, son, Eric, father, Jake, sisters, Leslie (Wayne) and JoAnn, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. Gary is predeceased by his beloved mother, Maggie. Gary was raised in Saskatoon where he entered engineering school at the University of Saskatchewan before a two-year battle with Hogdkin’s disease caused him to set aside his education. Gary recovered and moved on with life, apprenticing as an electrician, and initially moving to Kelowna then Vancouver. In Vancouver, Gary met his future wife, Kenna, through a shared love of sailing. After a number of years, Gary shifted his career from electrician to electrical designer and found his calling. Eventually he would become associate principal for a large engineering firm in Vancouver where he managed electrical design projects on iconic buildings and contributed to green building design. In 2002, Gary and Kenna moved to New Westminster where they raised their son and became part of the community. Happy times for Gary included those watching his son’s hockey and lacrosse games, sailboat racing in Georgia Strait, and camping with family and friends. Gary will be remembered as a loving husband, father, son and brother, a caring friend, and a man of integrity and strength of character. He was dearly loved and will be sorely missed. In lieu of flowers, his family asks that donations be made to the British Columbia Cancer Foundation in Gary’s name.
