Woman ‘freaking out’ after man tries to break in Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster woman is still a little freaked out after a man tried to enter her apartment through an open window.

Amanda Carvalho lives in a ground-floor suite in a building on Eighth Street, just south of Sixth Avenue.

She never leaves her windows open, but the recent heat was just too much.

At about 1:15 a.m. last Friday morning, Carvalho heard a noise outside her bedroom window.

“I was just lying in my bed, on my phone, and I heard tinkering outside, and then the outside light started flickering and that prompted me to get out of my bed. I grabbed my phone, and then the light just went off,” she told the Record.

Carvalho went to the window and looked outside.

In the darkness, she could see the silhouette of a man walking towards her bedroom window.

“I watched as this figure reached in my window,” she said.

As his hand passed through the open window, Carvalho shouted “Hey! Who’s out there? I have a phone and I’m calling the police.”

But she didn’t stick around to see if the man listened to her. Instead, she took off and ran out of her suite and into the lobby of the building, where she called 911.

When the officers arrived, they escorted Carvalho back

into her suite and checked to see if the suspect had entered her apartment.They also checked outside, in case he was still hanging around.

What they found outside, though, was that the suspect had tampered with the exterior light.

“I barely slept, I had nightmares,” she said of the experience, adding she spent the rest of the night at a friend’s house.

“I’m freaking out.”

New Westminster Police Department are reminding people to keep all easily accessible windows and doors closed and locked, even in warm weather.

“In the summer heat, it’s understandable that residents would want to sleep with cool air from an open window,” said crime prevention coordinator Jennifer Sanford in a statement.

“We suggest using secondary locks or dowels that fit securely in windows and keep them from being fully opened.”

For more information, call the crime prevention unit at 604-529-2446.

Carvalho, who usually keeps her window closed, won’t be opening it again, no matter how hot it gets, and she’s sharing her story as a cautionary tale for people who don’t think twice about leaving their windows open in the hot weather.

“If he (the suspect) tried to do this to me, what’s to say he’s not going to try and do this to someone else?

“I just want people to be careful.There’s someone out there that’s taking advantage of this heat wave.”

Police give praise to passerby for calling in overdose

SOARING over the StrEAT

Naloxone used to revive man Lauren Boothby

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

A quick-thinking passerby likely saved a man’s life in New Westminster last week.

The New Westminster Police Department received a call just after 4 a.m. on July 26, alerting them to a possible overdose at Westminster Pier Park.

The caller saw an adult man in the park he believed might be overdosing and ran to the police station for help.

Police gave the unconscious man naloxone – a drug used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose – using a nasal spray, but he did not respond.

As they were about to give a second dose, he began to wake up. Paramedics arrived and took him to the hospital.

“The quick thinking and immediate action by the passerby to come get help saved this man’s life,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in a press release. “Thankfully, officers arrived in time to give the much needed dose of naloxone.”

Scott would like to remind the public to contact police immediately if you suspect someone is overdosing.

The New Westminster Police Department has been using naloxone to assist in opioid overdoses since February 2017.

Artists to get more space as studio set to expand Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The 100 Braid Street Studios is poised to become home to the largest studio space for artists outside of Vancouver.

Susan Greig, who opened the studio/event space at 100 Braid St. in June 2014, recently signed a lease to rent out the top floor of the building. Already home to 16 studios, the expanded space will allow the business to accommodate an additional 28 to 30 studios.

“We will have approximately 46 studios,” Greig said of the expansion. “We will be the biggest studio outside of Vancouver.”

When Greig rented the ground-floor space at 100 Braid St. four years ago, she told the landlord she was interested in the upstairs space if the tenant ever left.

“I am stoked,” she said about acquiring the upstairs space. “There is light on three sides of the building. As wonderful as the main floor is, it is even better upstairs. And upstairs

While the main floor functions as a communal space, Greig said the upper floor will be more like Parker Street Studios in Vancouver, where studios have their own doors.

“One-half of it is already in small offices.There is not

a lot of renovation on that half.The other half, I’m working with an architect and a code consultant to create individual studios,” she said. “We are at the point where we have a floor plan. If an artist approaches us and says I want a bigger space, or I want this or that, we can customer build

at this point.”

The 1929 heritage building was once home to B.C. Distillery and Winery.

Folks will get a chance to check out the space during the 2018 New West Cultural Crawl, which takes place on Aug. 11 and 12.The studio is taking part in the crawl Aug. 11 from 11 a.m.

to 5 p.m. and is hosting an open house to show off the new space from 5 to 8 p.m. that same day.

“The renovations will not be done by the Cultural Crawl,” Greig said. “We hope to take people on little tours or let people see the space.We will have some food trucks.”

In 2016, city council approved an official community plan amendment and a zoning amendment bylaw for the site, which will see Urban Academy partnering with Wesgroup Properties on a development that includes a 60,000-squarefoot school, a residential highrise and 4,300 square feet of art gallery and studio space built at 100 Braid St. Construction of the Urban Academy building is underway at the site.

With a current waiting list of 52, Greig is thrilled that the Wesgroup is allowing her to rent more space in the building at Braid and Brunette.While Wesgroup has indicated its plan is to demolish the building, Greig is confident it will stand long enough for her to feel comfortable signing a lease for additional space in the building.

“They have been very supportive.They have put a lot of upgrades into the building so that we can stay there,” she said.

Wesgroup could not be reached for comment.

Residents fed up with trains Psst: She said ‘Yes’!

Lauren Boothby

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Some Quayside residents are tired of the trains.

Maureen Albanese says the rail yards have been a constant issue in the 18 years she’s lived on Quayside Drive – espcially noise from idling trains.

In June, Albanese says she heard trains idling around midnight for over an hour.

“It sat with the engine running, which makes it rumble, and it also hisses because it’s an air release of some sort,” she told the Record. “It will rumble, rumble, rumble, and then a big hiss, and rumble, rumble, rumble, hiss.

“They can turn the engines off.They’re wasting fuel.They’re actually polluting.”

Mike Hoyer, who lives on the other side of the Quayside community, says the noise has been a constant problem in the 14 years he’s lived there.The situation improved in 2008 after the City of New Westminster intervened and began working with the rail companies to reduce noise.

But emissions from the trains are still a problem.

“The last year they’ve been a regular feature right

under our nose here, every day,” he said “Leaving an engine idling for an hour and a half every night, producing noxious gases, we don’t really need.”

At times, he’s found his balcony covered in soot.

He’s worried about what breathing in the train exhaust may do to his health.

Hoyer says he would like to see the city intervene again.

Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he was aware of the concerns and has reached out to CN Rail.

“It comes up a lot, especially in the summertime.

People have their windows open, and the trains, some-

times they’re waiting excessively long for clearance to go over the train bridge and clearance from the marine traffic. It’s an issue,” he said.

Puchmayr said he is putting the issue on the agenda for the next Railway Community Advisory Panel meeting in September when the city meets with the four railways that operate in the New West.

CN spokesperson Kate Fenske told the Record in an email that railways will continue to operate overnight.

“The New West yard is an active rail yard. Several railways operate in the area so there will always be

some noise. CN does work to mitigate noise and vibration associated with railway operations, and encourages municipalities to adopt the proximity guidelines,” she wrote.

On fuel emissions, she said that CN crews are trained to conserve fuel and reduce carbon footprints, but locomotives may be left idling because of operating requirements like weather and maintaining air pressure. Some engines also use SmartStart technology to automatically start and stop the engines.

“The yard in New Westminster is a SmartYard, and we also try to reduce noise at night by only switching of cars when necessary,” she wrote.

In 2008, the Quayside Community Board asked that train operations be restricted to the hours between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m.

They sent letters to the four companies and the city, asking that they consider limiting shunting – joining and separating cars – to the daytime hours.

A Trapp Road resident told the Record in 2008 that the noise regularly exceeded 94 decibels.WorkSafeBC. has said nightclubs average 93 decibels.

When Marco and Jamee wind down for the evening, they often sit and read the newspaper together.

But last week, something Jamee saw in the Record shocked her.

“Jamee will you marry me? Marco” read an advertisement on page 10 (the ad is pictured on the right).

She said yes.

“She was kind of in shock and awe, she couldn’t really believe it,” Marco, who asked to be referred to only by his first name, told the Record.

“I had a ring underneath my pillow. I just quickly pulled it out and put it on her finger.”

Marco said he purchased the ad because he was looking for a creative way to catch her off-guard.

“She took forever reading some article … I almost thought she was going to not even actually make it to the end of the paper,” he said, laughing. “Just the last second it caught her eye.”

When asked why he decided to make a proposal in such a public way, and why he would not give his and his fiancé’s last names, he said publicity wasn’t something he was looking for.

Buying an ad just seemed to be a good way to surprise her, and he wasn’t expecting or hoping for this newspaper to write a story about their proposal.

Jamee

Will you marry me?

Marco

“It’s just really ironic that we did go like that because we’re such private people,” he said.

The newly engaged pair met eight months ago at a friend’s wedding, where they were set up by mutual friends.

Royal Columbian Hospital FRASER HEALTH

Police watchdog slams CONSTRUCTION NOTICE top cops over letter East Columbia Street Police chiefs wrote to tell watchdog how to deal with crashes Cornelia Naylor cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

B.C.’s municipal police watchdog has slammed the province’s police chiefs for trying to tell it how to deal with officers involved in motor vehicle incidents.

The B.C. Association of Municipal Chiefs of Police wrote a letter to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner in March raising concerns about two issues: the watchdog directing police departments to issue violation tickets to officers involved in motor vehicle incidents and concerns about the watchdog automatically treating motor vehicle violations by police officers as offences under the Police Act, like discreditable conduct or neglect of duty.

“It is necessary for both the BCAMCP and the OPCC to clarify and agree upon the appropriate approach to investigating motor vehicle incidents that are truly accidental in nature, resulting in damage or injury,” stated the letter

by Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord, president of the association.

The OPCC couldn’t have disagreed more, according to a response this week by deputy police complaint commissioner Rollie Woods.

Reminding Dubord that the police watchdog was created to provide independent civilian oversight over municipal police in B.C., Woods called the letter “an affront” that “undermines the fundamental principles of civilian oversight of police: independence and accountability.”

In the July 30 letter,

Woods went on to say the association’s letter was riddled with errors.

He said a review of records from the past eight years turned up no evidence of OPCC staff directing police departments to issue violation tickets to officers and that there is no legal basis for the watchdog to tell departments to do that.

And when it comes to deciding whether a motor vehicle offence by an officer should also be considered an offence under the Police Act,Woods said the police watchdog uses a case-bycase approach based on the circumstances and the public interest.

The letter ‘undermines the fundamental principles of civilian oversight.’

“You, Chief Dubord, are in an excellent position to validate our practice and process, as I recently dealt with you directly in relation to a motor vehicle incident involving one of your Delta Police members,” said Woods, taking aim at the Delta chief directly.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner oversees about 3,500 municipal and special municipal police officers (RCMP officers are overseen by a different body, the Civil-

ian Review and Complaints Commission).

Since a change in legislation in 2010,Woods said the commissioner has reviewed only 32 incidents involving driving offences by police officers and ordered investigations into only 12 allegations of misconduct.

Given those relatively low numbers,Woods said he was at a loss to understand why the chiefs had raised the issue and called their decision to write the letter “imprudent.”The next time they disagree with the watchdog’s approach, Woods advised the chiefs to either convince government to change the Police Act, file a petition for a judicial review in B.C. Supreme Court or convince two-thirds of the legislature to fire the police complaint commissioner. Calls to Dubord were not returned by presstime.

IN NEW WEST The OPCC recently ordered a review of a case involving a New Westminster special constable.

Const. Leanne Keith blew over the legal limit when she was off-duty and pulled over at a checkstop on March 24, 2017.

Two police departments reviewed her case and recommended disciplinary action, but the police watchdog called the measures they proposed “inappropriate or inadequate” and ordered a review to be presided over by retired provincial court judge Brian Neal.

The review was scheduled to begin on July 20, but no findings have yet been made public.

Man missing The New Westminster Police Department is asking for help finding 61-yearold Douglas Thornburn after his fiancé reported him missing earlier this week.

He was last seen July 25 at around 5:30 p.m. at home on the 100 block of Jardine Street in Queensborough. He is five-foot-10, with short grey and brown hair, and was last seen wearing a black or beige T-shirt and dark blue shorts.

“We are asking the public to help us locate Mr.Thornburn to ensure his safety,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott in a press release.

between Sherbrooke St. and Keary St. NOW TO SEPTEMBER 2018 (dates extended)

What’s Happening

Bird Construction’s excavation of East Columbia Street for a hospital IT and utilities pathway and for City power has been extended into September.

The northbound bike lane and east sidewalk of East Columbia Street are being excavated. Expect traffic delays and sidewalk disruptions.

NEW! Next week, the crosswalk at Hospital Street will shift to the south and provide access to the hospital’s west entrance ONLY. Sidewalks on the hospital-side of the street will close for 3-4 weeks near there.

Then from late August into September the intersection of Keary Street and East Columbia Street will be excavated. Work will extend as far west as Pensioners Hall on Keary Street (north lane and north parking lane) and as far south as Browns Socialhouse (east parking lane and sidewalk, and northbound bike lane).

Construction hours are 7am-7pm Mon. to Fri. (except holidays) and Saturdays 9am-6pm. Dates and times are subject to change. Bird Construction will endeavour to minimize construction impact, noise, and dust in accordance with the City’s regulations and Good Neighbour Protocol.

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.

Sidewalks will be closed to pedestrians on the east side of the street between the hospital’s Main and Emergency entrances.

The Hospital St. crosswalk will provide access ONLY to the hospital’s west entrance from the east side of the street.

We suggest you use East Columbia Street’s west sidewalk (Sapperton Park side) to avoid as much construction as possible.

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 the C9 bus stop temporarily moved on the hospital-side of the street. Watch for a notice at the stop.

Parking metres and the loading zone may 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.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Level playing field for taxis, but add competition At first glance, it appears the BC NDP provincial government and a new report on modernizing the taxi industry are bending over backwards to protect it.

After all, it would seem consumers shouldn’t care whether companies that purchased taxi licences for huge sums in years past lose their shirts when ridehailing apps become legal.

Those were exchanges between private parties after the licences were issued by the public regulator for

a nominal fee, and with all businesses, investors sometimes lose money in risky ventures.

As Dan Hara notes in his report on the issue of compensation: “On an ethical basis, should the public purse be held accountable for private business decisions? Creating taxi licence value was never an objective of the system and the public purse never received the large payments for the purchase of taxi licences.”

But maybe it’s not such

a bad thing to increase the number of taxis by 15 per cent, as the BC NDP government intends to do, while delaying the entry of ride-hailing apps, even if it seems doing so will turn the clock back a decade.

Keeping taxis afloat while discouraging bureaucratic duplication and licence resales would be beneficial if it means increased competition should large-scale international businesses, such as Uber and Lyft, enter Metro Vancouver.

Taxis are not all bad and can be a consistent, safe and reliable service, albeit with serious limitations for those living in the suburbs. For one thing, taxis are better positioned to provide accessibility services, as they already do, and if adequately promoted, could make this a selling feature, because Uber has admitted it can’t provide this service.

While it’s true an area cab company, Bel-Air Taxi, missed an opportunity by keeping a wheelchair-bound

senior waiting three hours for a cab in the rain on Canada Day, this should be an anomaly in a public conveyance system if it’s not a private monopoly.

If ride-hailing apps were to push taxis out of business, these international juggernauts could quickly become a monopoly of another kind, with benefits flowing to businesses with U.S. headquarters.These apps, as we have seen, are not without their own awful histories, although their

convenience cannot be denied.

What is important is that public safety be protected and service guaranteed, giving people, especially in the suburbs, another way to get around without a personal automobile. (And please don’t forget that transit can be an excellent alternative.)

Levelling the playing field so taxis can compete should be the goal of modernizing the fleet — but with an eye to more competition, not less.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

New model will cost taxpayers The BC NDP government has made a political calculation that adding hundreds of millions of dollars in costs to public infrastructure projects is a risk worth taking, if that’s what it takes to reward key supporters.

That’s one takeaway from the government’s recent announcement that major projects costing more than $500 million will have to fit into something called a “community benefits agreement.”

The agreement stipulates all workers on such projects must be unionized and paid at set rates that will increase two per cent every year for at least six years.

How much will this cost?

Well, the NDP has said these agreements will add between four and seven per cent in extra costs over original estimates.

The Pattullo Bridge replacement is expected to cost $1.38 billion, but the province says the extra costs are already part of that figure (which is hard to believe, given that same cost estimate was in budget documents in February, long before these agreements were presumably drawn up).

The Broadway subway line is estimated to cost $2.85 billion. A seven-percent increase would boost that project’s cost by about $200 million.

The Surrey LRT line is pegged at $1.65 billion. Extra costs: $115 million.

The second and third phases of the new Royal Columbian Hospital project will cost $1.1 billion.That means an additional $77 million must be added.

But, given that pretty well all major public infrastructure projects go over budget (hello B.C. Place stadium), the BC NDP is betting this won’t be much of an issue with voters.

And it is a risk the government will take because it is rewarding its construction union supporters rather handsomely, and it is also coming close to implementing a quota system when it comes to hiring on these projects. (The NDP loves social engineering things like quota systems.)

Although no actual numerical targets are included in these agreements, contractors who employ more Indigenous people and women appear to have a better chance at winning contracts to work on these projects.

But these are simply “aspirational goals” (in the words of one government official) and not, as I said, rigid targets.

Thus, the unions (the 19 that the NDP has specified) get to collect a lot more in union dues, and get to control some new funds that will be created by taking 32 cents an hour on behalf of all workers.

Not all of this may make economic sense for the B.C. taxpayer.

However, it may make political sense for a government that is constantly walking a tightrope, trying to balance good public policy against the interests and ideology of its base.

In this case, ideology appears to have won the day.

Man delivers on robbery

Thinking she was letting a courier inside her home, a woman unlock her door to a robber in November.The man, posing as a delivery person, knocked on the 48-yearold woman’s door at about dinner time.When she unlocked the door, he forced his way inside, brandishing a handgun. He then forced the woman to go from room to room in her home in the 2000 block of Eighth Avenue. Once inside each room, he rifled through drawers and ransacked cupboards, eventually stealing jewelry and cash. He then fled, leaving the woman shaken up but physically unharmed. Police warned people to request ID before opening the door to delivery personnel.

Letters Nothing wrong with the volume at Uptown Live!

Editor: Re: Turn down the volume, Record, letters, July 26.

I am responding to the letter from Steve Vanden-Eykel regarding the music and festivities surrounding Uptown Live!

The last of the music venues shut down at 9:45 p.m. I sat on my balcony in the evening and enjoyed the music that was being played and seeing all the families out and about. It’s a chance to meet your neighbours. This festival happens once a year, and I don’t think there is a need to complain about it.

Simple answer – shut your windows. It’s one day. The pub in the immediate area makes more noise and they carry on until closing – after midnight.

Thanks New West for the great street party.

Patricia Adams, New Westminster

Trains were there first

Editor: Re: These New West residents are fed up with the noisy, stinky trains, Record, online, July 28.

Did you not notice the trains before you chose your home? This is the most absurd NIMBY game possible. In short, the trains were there before your condo building was even a dream in the tiny minds of the money-grubbing developers who sold you your condo with slick brochures that likely played down the reality that it is built on top of a working railway. Stop whining or move.

Steve Mcnamee, New Westminster

Help us fight polio

Editor: On behalf of the organizing committee of the 23rd annual Pot of Gold Charity Golf Tournament, I would like to thank your newspaper and your staff for your efforts to promote our event for many years as our print media sponsor.

And thanks to Record reporter Theresa McManus for her article in the July 12 edition about the tournament and the programs supported by the beneficiaries, including the youth programs of the local Royal City Rotary Club, Rotary Club of New Westminster, Salvation Army and Lower Mainland Purpose Society.

However, I have heard before that I mumble.

Many times. I guess I now have to admit that I do. Ms. McManus interviewed me via telephone and reported on the success of Rotary’s efforts to o eliminate polio from the planet. She stated that the incidence of polio worldwide has been reduced from 350,000 in the mid-1980s to 100,000 annually. Actually, the reduction has been much more dramatic, to less than 100 in 2017. And there are only 26 cases reported year to date for 2018.

It has been a 35-plus year campaign of immunization of children started by Rotary. In the developing nations, many children would die from the polio virus, and if they didn’t die they were crippled and experienced a profound loss of opportunity: to get an education, or to get employment, or to have a family. Rotary and its partners are so close to eradicating polio from the world. If you would like more information, or to find ways to support the campaign, feel free to contact us at molstad.rick@gmail.com.

New platform puts focus on seniors

Coun. Patrick Johnstone and candidate Nadine Nakagawa team up on platform Lauren Boothby editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Two New Westminster council candidates have released a shared platform to help seniors.

Current Councillor Patrick Johnstone and candidate Nadine Nakagawa released the platform Monday. It addresses public spaces and amenities, social networks and housing issues. Proposals include a public-seating network to help seniors who may find it difficult to walk long distances, reviewing light timings for pedestrian crossings, and making the new community centre and Canada Games Pool more senior-friendly.

The pair said they decided to work together after they recently discovered they shared similar ideas on seniors’ issues.They released the platform Monday in light of Century House’s 60th anniversary celebrated last week.

The platform leans heavily on current council’s track record on seniors issues,

noting the city’s “Dementia Friendly City” designation by Alzheimer Society of B.C., and the Age-Friendly Community Strategy released last year.

Johnstone said seniors’ issues cover a broad range of topics – including transportation, housing and infrastructure – and the platform ties them together.

“We don’t often talk about how seniors are often the first to be displaced with renovictions or demovictions, and they’re often on fixed incomes and they don’t have an ability to adapt what they do for housing,” he said.

The platform promises to continue lobbying the provincial government for changes to Residential Tenancy Act to stop renovictions, and ensure the city’s tenant relocation policies are enforced and those affected are able to access all current resources.The platform also commits to working with community organizations, Metro Vancouver Housing, and senior levels of government to ensure

new supportive and affordable housing projects meet seniors’ needs.

And though Century House has long been the cornerstone of the community for seniors in NewWest, the city could use more places for seniors to gather, according to the platform.

“As our community is growing in size, I think that we need to find opportunities to have more than one hub for seniors,” Johnstone said.

The platform promise to explore different areas – including the Sapperton Pensioners Hall, the Anvil Centre and community schools – to create a network of neighbourhood hubs for seniors and other residents to socialize.

Improving the walkability of New West for seniors and those with mobility issues is one area Nakagawa hopes to address. In her time sitting on the city’s committee on walking, cycling and transit use, she said she heard ways the city can improve.

“New Westminster al-

Serving Our Community Since 1908

ready prioritizes walking and cycling and active transportation, but we have to make sure that, while it may be walkable for people who don’t have mobility limitations … things like sidewalks and crosswalks and light timing do work for everyone, specifically seniors and people with mobility limitations, so that the city still feels accessible to them as they age,” she said.

Allowing for more laneway and carriage homes is another thing she’s heard when she’s been out doorknocking in the community.

“It’s a way for seniors to stay in this community, and also sometimes help their families who are struggling with house affordability issues,” she said. “(It addresses) things like social isolation for seniors. If you’re living in close proximity to your family, then that’s a really great support system for people as they age.”

Nakagawa said she will be releasing position papers on other issues in the coming weeks.

EATS ON THE STREET

The sun shone, the mercury soared, the chefs got cooking and the foodies came … and ate … and ate some more. The sixth annual Columbia StrEAT Food Truck Fest returned to downtown on Saturday, July 28, attracting thousands of hungry people from around Metro Vancouver. There were more than 90 different food trucks to choose from, with eight beer gardens offering refreshment and a variety of live musicians performing along the street. Visitors also had a chance to do some shopping, with the New West Farmers Market and New West Craft on hand, plus a special Taste of River Market event at Hyack Square. Big Star Sandwich Co. also hosted a Sandwich Slammin’ Championship, while those who got too hot out in the sunshine also had a chance to stop in to an artisan market in the Anvil Centre. Check out more photos of the day’s fun at www.newwestrecord.ca.

Arts & Entertainment Museum offers fun for families The New Westminster Museum is reaching out to build the next generation of history buffs.

The museum is offering kid-friendly programming through the summer.

Among the offerings are Pop-Up Museum in the Park events, in which staffers take artifacts from the museum’s teaching collection into the parks and set up to chat to kids – offering a different craft, activity or game each time for kids to explore and learn.

The program is offered on Thursdays from 12:30 to 3 p.m. On Aug. 2, it will be in Hume Park, and on Aug. 9, it’s in Quayside Park. Call 604-527-4640 for information.

The museum is also offering a by-registration LEGO camp called Brick City Engineering, running Monday, Aug. 13 to Friday, Aug. 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. It’s in connection with the ongoing People Gotta Move exhibition at the museum, which is drawing crowds eager to check out the LEGO New Westminster on display.

The camp will give kids aged five to 10 a chance to plan their own working city and build it brick by brick, then figure out ways for people to move all around town.

All campers will go home with a customized mini-figure. Participants should bring a snack, lunch and water bottle.

The course number is 12279, and it costs $300 for the week. Check out www.anvil centre.com/register to find the sign-up link, or call 604-527-4640.

Art explores life and death A New Westminster artist’s ancestral heritage inspired the work in a new exhibition at Plaskett Gallery.

Clarissa Argueta’s Life, Death and Other Dreams … is on at the gallery from Aug. 1 to 31. A meet-the-artist event is set for the gallery on Saturday, Aug. 11 and Sunday, Aug. 12, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, part of the New Westminster Cultural Crawl.

Argueta is an artist from San Salvador, El Salvador, whose artwork focuses on traditional Latin American culture and

folklore.

“I feel fascinated and deeply moved by the mysticism and symbolism found in Latin America’s idiosyncrasies, popular culture and folklore,” Argueta said in a statement. “Particularly evident in the celebration of the traditional ‘Day of the Dead,’ which constitutes the visual narrative in this collection of paintings. In addition, I am passionate about the relevance and magnificence of Indigenous civilizations in the ancient Americas.”

Argueta holds both bache-

lor’s and master’s degrees in fine arts, specializing in graphic design, and her background includes more than 15 years’ experience as a graphic designer, visual artist and visual arts instructor. Her work is in private collections in Central America, the U.S. and Canada.

Plaskett Gallery is at Massey Theatre, 735 Eighth Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m., by appointment, or during shows at the theatre.

Life and death: Clarissa Argueta’s See www.masseytheatre.com work is on display at Plaskett Gallery for information, or call 604throughout the month of August.

Patterns inspire artist’s work in glass A new exhibition at The Gallery at Queen’s Park draws inspiration from patterns in the natural world.

Repeat After Me: An Exploration of Pattern, featuring the work of Lex Ireton, is on display at the gallery from Aug. 1 to 26. An Inter/Action talk with the artist is set for Sunday, Aug. 12 from 3 to 4 p.m.

The exhibition features glass work by Ireton, whose artistic

endeavours are highly processoriented as she explores her love of connecting with the material hands-on.

“This invites constant learning of new techniques and embracing, even enhancing, the phenomena that occur when dealing with glass,” said a press release. “Many of Ireton’s ideas evolve through working in the hot shop; always starting with a plan but reacting to the mate-

rial step by step, knowing each moment has the potential to be a finished object.”

Ireton takes inspiration from patterns that occur in the natural world, with ornamentation laid out or carved into the glass in a controlled manner.

“Ireton explores the relationship between individual forms and how they interact with one another to create a united end product,” the release said. “By

using repetition in pattern, texture or components that make up a final piece, Ireton focuses on the connections created and how they inform the work as a whole.”

The Gallery at Queen’s Park is open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m. and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m., in Centennial Lodge. See www. artscouncilnewwest.org or call 604-525-3244.

Q A

How can a shareholder agreement (SHA) help your company?

Two months ago, I discussed what a SHA is and what one might state. This month and next month, I will discuss how a SHA STEPHEN GRAF can help. A privately held company, financed and managed by more than one shareholder, benefits the most from having a SHA. Though expensive, a SHA can help your company in several ways. First, a SHA protects minority interests. Without one, the shareholders with at least 2/3 to 3/4 of the company’s voting shares can almost always prevail.

Second, a SHA can add to the rules in your company’s articles. Moreover, you might find your SHA easier to amend.

ASK A PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Q A

I have been diagnosed with ‘Frozen Shoulder’.

What is this?

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a shoulder condition characterized by pain and stiffness. This occurs when the tissue around the shoulder tightens and thickens. Frozen shoulder EDDIE CANNON follows three stages: 1) Freezing: the shoulder becomes quite painful and starts to lose range of motion; 2) Frozen: the shoulder is less painful but is very stiff; 3) Thawing: the shoulder starts to regain range of motion. A frozen shoulder typically lasts 12-18 months once it has developed. Frozen shoulder can develop in people with certain medical conditions (diabetes/thyroid conditions) and in patients who have had shoulder trauma (fracture/surgery). Treatment can consist of range of motion exercises and education on how to manage activities of daily living. Your physiotherapist can direct you in the management of your frozen shoulder.

ASK A DENTURIST

Q A

How do I care for my dentures?

Complete and partial dentures need to be cleaned every day just like natural teeth. Otherwise, plaque and tartar can build up on your dentures and cause stains, bad breath and gum problems. To clean your dentures, remove them from your mouth and BRIAN KO R.D., R.D.T. run them under water to rinse off any loose food particles. Then wet a denture brush or a regular softbristle toothbrush and apply denture cleaner or a mild dish soap.

Household cleaners and regular toothpaste are too abrasive and should not be used for cleaning dentures. Rinse your dentures well in clean water before placing them back in your mouth. Always remove your dentures overnight to give your mouth a chance to rest. Soak them in warm water with or without denture cleanser.

Never use hot water that could warp your dentures.

What are the latest technologies that will change dentistry?

With the advancement in the computer sector, computer generated 3D imaging is appearing in the dental fields with computer manufactured fillings, DR. DOUG LOVELY crowns, and bridges. This is also aided with digital impressions instead of the old impression materials being placed in the mouth. Sound technology is starting to appear in dentistry which may drastically reduce the exposure of x-rays, and help with diagnosing dental disease.

Community HISTORY

Plaque commemorates historic waterfront strike

If you’re enjoying a stroll through Westminster Pier Park, be sure to be on the lookout for a new plaque commemorating a piece of the city’s history.

The B.C. Labour Heritage Centre and the Canadian Nautical Research Society recently installed a plaque in Westminster Pier Park commemorating a day in the city’s labour history.

“A new historical plaque located along the New Westminster Quay commemorates an event that happened on Sept. 3, 1935, when the city and its police force intervened in a major waterfront strike affecting port operations,” said a press release from the B.C. Labour Heritage Centre.

“On that day, 21 striking workers were arrested

and brought before police court for standing in solidarity with other waterfront unions in Vancouver, Powell River and Port Alberni.”

The International Longshore Workers Union Local 502 hosted a barbecue when the plaque was unveiled.

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 and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing 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.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

New season begins

Last year just a memory as New West begins its playoff run Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It was a doozy matchup a year ago.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies and Maple Ridge Burrards took it to seven games, with the final going into double-overtime before the visiting ’Bellies exited with the win.

The two square off for a rematch in the Western Lacrosse Association semifinals, starting Thursday (7:30 p.m. at Queen’s Park Arena).

Fresh off an 8-4 doubling of second-place Victoria on Sunday, which gave New West a league-best 153-0 record, the central focus now is how to build on that consistency.

And like last year’s thrilling seven-game set-to, this year’s has all the earmarks of a long, physical affair.

“Maple Ridge made us a better team in that series,” remarked ’Bellies captain Curtis Hodgson, reflecting on his squad’s run to the 2017 Mann Cup series.

“They’re a formidable opponent, and whoever comes out of this series will be playing their best lacrosse.”

Although New West won all three regular season games, 12-6, 13-6 and a thrilling 14-13 overtime decision reminiscent of Game 7 last year, that all becomes a non-factor as head coach Rory McDade and his assistant coaches size up the two teams’ strengths.

“Looking at our offence, there has been great ball movement this year, and that’s a key against Maple Ridge’s defence, to not get stagnant, make sure the ball is swinging side to side and making their goalie move,” said McDade.

The Burrards will have Curtis Dickson and Ben McIntosh together in the lineup, offering a formidable one-two offensive punch.

Both played large roles with the national field lacrosse team in Israel last month.

Dickson was also a Continued on page 22

New West face pushback in junior final

After winning two in Coquitlam, ’Bellies unable to add to streak as series deadlocked 2-2 Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

Momentum is a finicky matriarch.

For two games, the New Westminster junior Salmonbellies were holding the power-shifting edge, delivering a pair of back-to-back losses to defending B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League champion Coquitlam Adanacs to take a 2-1 lead in the league playoff final.

Coquitlam, however, found a way to reclaim the momentum in a forceful performance Tuesday, beating back the ’Bellies 12-5 to deadlock the best-of-seven series at 2-2.

“We didn’t get the response we needed tonight from the back end, and it got us into trouble in the first period. ...We’re going to reset, it’s a best of three now,” New West coach Rich Catton said. “We’ll watch some film, clear our minds and come out and battle again Friday.”

It started early, as the visiting Adanacs put in a pair of goals before the game was 1:30 old.While New West got within a goal, when Ryan Jones speared a shot past all-star Christian Del Bianco a couple of minutes later, Jalen Chaster restored

the two-goal edge on a shorthanded effort.

Coquitlam would keep up the pressure and lead 7-2 after 20 minutes, and up it to 10-4 midway through the game. After scoring their fifth goal, New West had a golden opportunity to put some momentum into their own corner when the Adanacs’ Ryland Rees was tagged with a four-minute checkingfrom-behind penalty. Unfortunately, the ’Bellies couldn’t squeeze one past Del Bianco, who finished the game with 40 saves. “(Del Bianco’s) a great goalie.

We don’t expect we’ll score 10, 11 goals a game against him,” said Catton. “They’ve been tight games, the ones we battled through and won. He made some good saves tonight, and we got a little unlucky on a few posts from Tre (Leclaire) and (Keegan) Bell, that could have changed the run of the game in the second and third period.That’s the way lacrosse works.”

The biggest pattern, and likely the most irrelevant one, as well, is that neither team has won on its home floor to start the series.

New West, who dropped the series opener 9-3 last week, laid down

back-to-back text book efforts in stopping Coquitlam 6-4 and 7-6 at the Poirier rink last weekend.

Both highlighted the ’Bellies’ balance and ability to back up some stellar play by netminder Erik Kratz.

New West also outshot Coquitlam on both occasions, however, they trailed by a wide margin midway through the first period before starting to get back on course.

We didn’t turn over but kept on battling and battling, which is a sign of a good team.

“I was really happy with our work ethic for the second and third period.We didn’t turn over but kept on battling and battling, which is a sign of a good team,” Catton added.

Chase Scanlan counted three goals for Coquitlam, while New West got goals from Cam Garlin, Erik Maas, Bell and Leclaire.

The Adanacs, who are looking to extend their 10-year streak of com-

peting at the Minto Cup championships, converted when they had their best opportunities and looked clearly in control most of the night.

“I think that’s sort of what we’ve been looking for the whole time.

Our offence really hadn’t had its mojo, but it felt like we did (Tuesday),” said Coquitlam coach Pat Coyle. “We knew we were really close. I give New West a ton of credit, the changes they made.They’re a really tough team, (but) there was a part of us who felt we were beating ourselves.”

The Adanacs captain Reid Bowering felt the turnaround was a key signal that they are nearing the peak that won them last year’s B.C. title, and carried them to a national title in 2016.

“We were pissed off the past two games, we knew it wasn’t our best play,” said Bowering. “We wanted to show them who we are as a team – we’re the best in the country here.

We play confident.Those last two games wasn’t us.”

The series continues Friday, 7:30 p.m. in Coquitlam. Game 6 goes Sunday, 5 p.m., at Queen’s Park Arena, while a seventh game, if necessary, is on Aug. 7 in Coquitlam.

McDade said the overall effort will dictate the result.

SKELTON, Emily Carol (nee Einarson) May 21, 1941 - July 23, 2018 CARNIATO, Danilo It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Danilo Carniato, a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Born in San Giuseppe, Treviso, Italy, on May 5, 1934, he passed on July 24, 2018 at the age of 84 after suffering an unsuccessful surgery in February 2017 to remove a tumor that left him hospitalized due to a spinal infection he contracted during surgery. He was predeceased by two of his children. Danilo is survived by his devoted loving wife Roseta; his daughter and many nieces, nephews and friends. Danilo came to Canada in 1954 with his technical skills and knowledge of machinery and industrial installations. This helped him to quickly become chief mechanic and later supervisor for the installation and maintenance of various lumber industries, in particular, saw mills and pulp mills. In 2001, Danilo was awarded the Gold Veteran’s Badge as an honor conferred by the Grand Lodge of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, due to the loyalty and service to fellow workers for a period of thirty years, having during this period of time, exemplified true value to fellow workers, thus achieving lasting respect and esteem of all workers in the association.

Danilo believed that with good preparation, good will and sacrifice, it is possible to achieve almost everything in life.

With enormous sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Carol Skelton surrounded by her family after a short and very courageous battle with cancer at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC on July 23, 2018.

Carol was born May 21, 1941 in Winnipeg, MB and moved to Vancouver in 1946 where she grew up in a house with her mother and sister Jeanette on West Seventh Avenue. Carol attended Cecil Rhodes Elementary and graduated from King Edward High School in 1959. She met her husband, Jim Skelton, while working at BC Tel. Married in 1962, Jim and Carol lived in New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver before settling in Coquitlam in 1970 to raise their family.

Besides her family, nothing was more important to Carol than her dogs. For many years Carol groomed and proudly showed her poodles. In her final year her whippet Mr. Man was her loyal companion.

Over the years Carol enjoyed running, cross stitching, yoga, lunch dates with her grandchildren, showing off her dogs at the local park, volunteering at the Lakeshore Care Centre, and travelling with her sister.

Carol is predeceased by her mother Dorothy Venables in 2009, her father Murray Einarson in 1977, step-father Richard Venables in 2007 and step-grandson Patrick Lodders in 2015.

She is survived by her husband Jim; three children Michael (Evelyn), Dana (John) and Michele (Dan); sister Jeanette (Bob); half-sister Patty (Matt); halfbrother Murray (Renee); grandchildren Jordan, Emily, Vanna, Alexander, and Eric; step-grandchildren Jac, Christian (Colleen), and Jes (Gavin); as well as numerous other family members.

Donations may be made in memory of Carol to the Terry Fox Foundation. Celebration of Life is scheduled for Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Royal City Curling Club, 75 East Sixth Avenue, New Westminster.
