Answers demanded in wake of barge fire Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A New Westminster councillor is concerned about the impacts a barge fire will have on fish in the Fraser – and suspects charges could be laid under the federal Fisheries Act. Plumes of thick black smoke filled the skies last Friday as a barge carrying scrap metal burned on the shores of the Fraser River.

Surrey and Vancouver firefighters poured water from the shore and from a fire boat and remained onscene for more than 24 hours.

Coun. Patrick Johnstone, an environmental scientist, believes

it’s likely there’s been a “significant introduction of deleterious substances” into fisheries habitat, which is an offence under the Fisheries Act. “That term ‘deleterious substances,’ I use on purpose. It’s actually the phrase in Section 36 of the Fisheries Act. It’s a very broadly defined term, deleterious substances – anything that is not good for fish,” he told the Record. “It’s kind of interesting because many things you might not think are deleterious substances are, including, for example, water.Treated water that comes out of your sink has chlorine in it, so potable water is actually a deleterious substance

if you introduce a lot of it into the water course.”

Johnstone noted that when the city flushes its water mains, it puts special pads over storm drains to remove chlorine before the water enters the system and kills the fish.

“With emergency firefighting we don’t stand around when something is on fire to decide whether spraying water on it is bad for fish.There’s human health and life protection kinds of concerns,” he said. “To me, the responsibility in something like that more relies on the person who stored a bunch of flammable, hazardous material in the water without an adequate plan for addressing an emergency

that happened on it.”

While Johnstone isn’t privy to the details of the barge fire, he believes there’s been a violation under the federal Fisheries Act. “I noticed the smell.We all noticed what happened to the air quality and that concerned a lot of people, but my reaction immediately was, what’s happening in the river?” Johnstone said. “The salmon are running right now. It’s a bad time to have a spill of substances into the river as salmon stocks are moving up the river.”

Schnitzer Steel, an international metal recycling and steel manufacturer based in Portland, Oregon, leases the Surrey waterfront

site from the Port of Vancouver.

“All vehicles were processed for end-of-life and hence all fluids removed before barge loading,” company spokesperson Colin Kelly said in an email to the Record.

Kelly said the cause is still under investigation, both internally

by Schnitzer and by the applicable agencies. He said the company has been in contact with the Port of Vancouver/Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, Fisheries and Oceans and federal and provincial environmental ministries.

“We do not believe that this incident will have any impact on water quality in the Fraser River,” he said.

Let us shop for our own supplies: parent Qayqayt elementary parent says there is too much waste in system that has parents buying through schools Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

With back-to-school season just around the corner, one New Westminster woman is upset her child’s school won’t let her shop for her daughter’s supplies.

Alice Cavanagh’s daughter will be in Grade 4 at École Qayqayt Elementary School this fall and as she’s done in past years, she will be ordering her daughter’s school supplies through the school – even though they have plenty of leftover supplies at home.

So why can’t she send her daughter to school with leftover supplies? Because parents of Qayqayt students are required to purchase school supplies through the online ordering service available on Qayqayt’s website.There is no alternative, according to Cavanagh.

“You can’t just pick and choose what you need, and at our school in particular, you don’t have the option to shop on your own,” she told the Record.

Right now, nearly every elementary school in the district manages school supplies differently.While many offer some kind of online purchasing portal, most also have an opt-out option for parents who want to buy the supplies themselves or reuse supplies. Qayqayt and Connaught are the only schools

It’s financially irresponsible,it’s environmentally irresponsible.

in the district that do not have an opt-out option, according to the schools’ websites.

“The concept of having to have everything brand new at the start of the school year, really is irresponsible. It’s financially irresponsible, it’s environmentally irresponsible.

These are the values we keep saying as a society we

want to see our kids have … so we should demonstrate them,” Cavanagh said.

This isn’t the first time she has raised concerns about the supplies process, but when she has brought it up, she’s been told it’s up to the school principal to decide how supplies are handled. She’s also been told that Qayqayt uses the online ordering system to ensure there’s equity among students’ supplies.

“If everybody starts off with exactly the same things, everybody is equal, but I feel there’s got to be a better way of handling it that has less impact on the environment,” Cavanagh said.

But New Westminster school district superintendent Karim Hachlaf says parents can’t be forced to buy their children’s supplies through the school.

“The parent will always have the option to go buy supplies if they wish,” he said. “If there’s an instance where a parent wanted to purchase their own, we’ll al-

SCHOOL SUPPLIES: Some parents want flexibility in shopping for supplies. ways allow that.”

According to Hachlaf, the school district is currently reviewing how school supplies are managed in an attempt to create a more consistent system among all New Westminster schools.

This review began during the last school year and

is expected to continue through the upcoming year.

Once the review is complete, parents can expect to see some changes with the school supplies process in the 2019/20 school year, Hachlaf added.

“We are definitely wanting to reduce the variation

so parents aren’t confused as to why one school is doing things a bit differently and offer a more standardized approach to school supplies with the premise as well that the intent is to do that so parents are not purchasing supplies unnecessarily,” he said.

New West unveils musical art project Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A visit to downtown New West will soon include an opportunity to make music.

The City of New Westminster is unveiling its newest public art installation, Floralume, on Friday, Aug. 17th at 5:15 p.m. at the corner of McKenzie and Front streets. Located on the Front Street mews, Floralume will see an emergency staircase transformed into an interactive sculpture consisting of reclaimed street lamps that produce light and sound when touched.

“The addition of this piece in our downtown is a capstone to our plans to revitalize Front Street,” Mayor Jonathan Cote said in a press release. “This innovative and imaginative artwork helps create a vibrant, fun and engaging space for the community to come together and enjoy their city.”

In May, city council agreed to engage Monkey C Interactive to produce and install Floralume on the fire escape stairs at 642 Front St.The installation will cost $70,000.

When showing council how the installation would function, David Parfit of

Money C Interactive said Floralume is comprised of “organic vine-like structures made out of conduit,” that work their way up the staircase structure, occasionally blooming out into floral shapes that will be made from repurposed street lamps. People will be able to touch the “petals” located beneath the stairwell, triggering colour changes in the blooms (street lamps) throughout the structure and music from nearby speakers.

In an effort to improve the esthetics of the $248,000 emergency staircase on Front Street, the city put out a call for submissions to artists to create an innovative and interactive public art installation.The city received 42 submissions worldwide, with the selection committee unanimously selecting Floralume.

“Historic Front Street has undergone a significant upgrade over the past few years and the Downtown New West BIA has

been proud to activate the Front Street mews through our Fridays on Front event series,” said Kendra Johnston, executive director of the Downtown BIA. “The place-making efforts by the city have been stellar, and we’re beyond excited about their newest addition with the visionary Floralume piece.”

The public is invited to attend the Floralume unveiling, which will coincide with this week’s Fridays on Front event.

It’s Pride week in New Westminster and even the police department is getting in the spirit.

All week the New Westminster Police Department will be sporting custom-made shoulder flashes to show its support for the city’s LGBTQ+ community.The flashes were designed in-house and produced by the same company that makes the department’s regular flashes, according to Sgt. Jeff Scott.

“During New West Pride Week, we’re celebrating the diversity of our community and the (department’s) con-

tinued dedication to equality, dignity, and respect for all.The police are the people, and the people are the police – this is one of the ways that we can show our unity with our community,” he wrote in an email to the Record.

Last year, local police officers wore Pride-themed epaulettes, which they’d borrowed from Delta Police, during the Pride street festival.

New West Pride Week runs until Saturday, Aug. 18 with the annual Pride street festival on Columbia Street.

Retired teacher launches bid Cayley Dobie

After more than four decades of teaching, the timing is finally right for Doug Woodward to run for school trustee.

The longtime New Westminster resident spent 45 years teaching and coaching at New Westminster Secondary School before retiring this year, and while politics have always interested him, he didn’t want to run in New Westminster while he was teaching.

“That’s why I put it on the backburner,” he told the Record.

Now that he’s retired, Woodward is looking for a way to give back to his community and the school district.

“We’ve got to get back to the kids, we’ve got to get back to the teachers and we’ve got to get back to the people who maintain the school, the carpenters, the painters, the custodians.

We’ve had a lot of changes in the past 12 years,” he

said.

Woodward said New Westminster is a great community full of outstanding children and teachers who could use more clear direction from school district ad-

ministration.

“We’ve been flipping a little bit, and we haven’t been real stable,” he said, adding there has been a lot of turnover in the superintendent’s office in the past decade.

Woodward would also like an opportunity to help the district transition into the new secondary school and believes his years of teaching experience would be an asset, especially during a transition as monumental as this.

“I’d like to be part of this as well, getting the school done right – done on time – and have a good transition, because we need a good transition,” he said.

During this transition period,Woodward would also like to see the district bring back the security guards who used to patrol the high school. He said he worries about the number of people who come in and out of the school on a daily basis – especially during construction. Having a security guard at the high school who knew all the students and staff would help keep everyone safe, he said.

Woodward is running as an independent “Whatever happens, it’s going to be on me,” he said.

“I work hard.”

cumbent), Chinu Das, Nadine Nakagawa, Mary Trentadue (incumbent), Daniel Fontaine, Paul McNamara, Bryn Ward and Patrick Johnstone (incumbent).

So far, nine candidates have entered the race for school trustee in New Westminster: Dee Beattie, Danielle Connelly, Gurveen Dhaliwal, Anita Ansari, Maya Russell, Lisa Falbo, Cyrus Sy, Doug Woodward and J.P. Legere.

Current New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote is running unopposed at this time.

New West Progressives add fourth candidate to its school board slate J.P. LeBerg named to run for trustee Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Progressive Electors Coalition has added a fourth name to its slate of school trustee hopefuls.

The group announced on Monday that J.P. LeBerg would be running for school trustee alongside Danielle Connelly, Cyrus Sy and Lisa Falbo in the upcoming civic election.

“I’m good friends with a number of the candidates with the New West Progressives and they were looking for a few additional people to stand up and come forward, so I volunteered and here were are,” he told the Record. “I’m learning as I go.”

LeBerg has worked in sales and is a longtime Glenbrook North resident. He has three kids, two who attend Ecole Glen-

brook Middle School and another at New Westminster Secondary School, and has volunteered as a coach for a number of their sports teams.

While he admits he’s green when it comes to elections – and the school board, for that matter – LeBerg said, if elected, his goal would be to make the school board a welcoming place for all parents and students.

“I think there’s been some concerns with communication, just trying to see how we can address that (and) keep some parents more in the loop,” he said, adding that he and his fellow Progressives candidates are just looking for an opportunity to give back to their community.

“We’re hoping to help out, that’s really the bottom line of what we’re really all about.”

Opinion OUR VIEW

Don’t view wildfires as an Interior problem

We can no longer claim not to have been warned.

Climate change means drier summers and more wildfires on theWest Coast.

MetroVancouver has had a running air quality advisory thanks to ground-level ozone and particulate matter readings.

Wildfires hit close to home with a blaze in Richmond, and smoke has been drifting across the border due to wildfires burning throughout the Pacific Northwest.

For most, the annual smell of smoke in the

air and taste of soot in our mouths is an inconvenience – but if you have respiratory difficulties, it’s a threat.

While a wildfire will gladly consume anything in its path, we have had, thankfully, very few fatalities in B.C. over the years.

That’s something we owe to evacuation efforts by the authorities in the fireplagued Interior but also to a cultural appreciation by people there for the gravity of the risk fires present.

And believe us when we say the risk is real outside of the Lower Mainland.

If you see someone throwing cigarette butts on the ground, stomp out those potential fire-starters.

According to the provincial government, as of Monday, there were 27 evacuation orders affecting approximately 3,100 people (1,537 properties), in addition to 43 evacuation alerts impacting approximately 17,900 people (8,909 properties).

More than 3,400 dedicat-

ed wildfire personnel are responding to some 600 wildfires currently burning in all areas of the province.This includes BCWildfire Service crews, contractors, municipal firefighters, industry personnel and out-of-province crews from throughout Canada, as well as Mexico, Australia and New Zealand.

Here in NewWest, it’s time we realized the same risk.We’re not far from the forested areas where people go to hike, camp, canoe and indulge in other forms of recreation at the driest times of year – and some of those people cause fires.

We need to no longer accept people smoking in areas where they should not be – including city parks.

If you see someone throwing cigarette butts on the ground, stomp out those potential fire-starters. Don’t stand idly by.

This is especially true if

you are travelling around this great province of ours.

Don’t be that person who accidentally starts a wildfire due to stupidity, like ignoring the campfire ban.Wildfires, apart from being dangerous, cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars to fight each year.

It’s so bad B.C. is now asking the feds for 200 selfsufficient personnel to perform the mop-up and patrol of contained fires.

We can all be part of the solution.That and keep pushing politicians to fight climate change.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Expect higher, but fairer rates The BC NDP government’s move to overhaul the province’s car insurance system may indeed make it fairer, but don’t expect the changes to make a big dent in your own insurance costs.

It is hard to argue against penalizing bad drivers and “rewarding” good drivers, although the word “rewarding” may be overstating things.

It is hard to see how the changes are going to make things significantly more affordable because they have nothing to do with putting out the fiscal “dumpster fire” that is burning away at ICBC (which they inherited from the BC Liberals).

That bottom line will be improved by doing things such as capping injury payouts, reducing litigation, lowering auto repair costs and – you guessed it! – raising insurance rates.

The government news release touting the new system slyly states that “based on today’s rates” about twothirds of drivers would get varying, minor cost reductions (39 per cent under $50 and 13 per cent between $50 and $100).

However, the changes do not take effect until September 2019.

Before we get there, something else will occur – a rate increase next April.

So any comparison of costs under the new system should be framed against rates that include the next scheduled rate hike, but the government will not yet say what that increase will be (ICBC will send a new rate

increase request to the B.C. Utilities Commission).

At his news conference announcing the new rate structure, I twice asked Attorney General David Eby if he could rule out a double-digit increase in insurance rates, but he declined.

I doubt if ICBC will request a rate hike of more than 10 per cent, but the final figure likely will not be far off.

A check of ICBC’s threeyear fiscal plan suggests it expects to collect more money in premiums over the next three years.

Next year, it expects to collect an additional $516 million, and the year after that an additional $606 million.That translates into roughly nine per cent or so more a year.

New drivers are joining the driving fleet every year, and they will account for some of that increase. But existing drivers will presumably account for the rest.

So I’m guessing a rate hike of about seven per cent a year seems likely. If that turns out to be the case, it would boost average insurance rates by more than 21 per cent over three years.

If a motorist is currently paying about $1,500 a year in insurance, that kind of increase would see a hike of about $300 after three years.That will likely more than exceed any savings to be realized.

The new car insurance rules will likely be fairer, but don’t expect them to be cheaper.

Parents try to fight sex trade Connaught Heights parents were taking a more active role in trying to stop the sex trade after finding evidence of the late-night street trade at the local elementary school and alongside the roads. “We definitely see prostitutes as victims, but it’s the elements when they leave, it’s leaving the stuff behind that’s a real threat,” remarked Narda Robillard of the Connaught Heights parents advisory council. At a public meeting, more than 100 area residents met and discussed with police on what to do to stop the illegal activity from establishing roots in the community. One solution, approved by city council, was a barrier at 10th Avenue and 21st Street.

Payouts a tiny amount Editor: I’ve been following the back and forth in the news, columns and letters about the city council retirement payout debate. Even those who support the policy refer to it as a substitute for the pension that elected officials are not eligible for. I agree with the assessment that since sitting on council is a job, it should be compensated properly, and rolled my eyes at the New West Progressives’ implication that the tiny amount of hypothetical budget ($226,000 out of $124 million if the entire current council were to leave at the same time) that goes into the payouts would be a silver bullet to solve problems and improve services. But if the payouts are meant to be a pension substitute, perhaps they should have an age restriction so they’re only given to councillors who are in fact retiring and not to officials who will be shifting to a different career path after moving on from council far before typical retirement age. Not because there’s anything wrong with the payouts in principle, but just in the name of closing that age loophole to create a little more fairness.

Justice wins the day Editor: Re: New model will cost taxpayers, Record, Aug. 2.

In his opinion piece, Keith Baldrey takes issue with the NDP’s new Community Benefits Agreement. The agreement, among other things, stipulates the condition that all workers on public infrastructure projects be unionized and that underrepresented groups like women and Indig-

enous people be included more in hiring.

Baldrey argues that the added costs of this condition to projects like the replacement of the Pattullo Bridge is something that should trouble taxpayers. It is more fruitful, however, to think of the issue not just in terms of weighing the costs and benefits to taxpayers, but more broadly in terms of weighing the costs and benefits to the community. It is surely desirable to live in a community in which work is given to those who reside locally, remunerated at a fair wage, and provided in a spirit of inclusivity. If the Community Benefits Agreement helps to realize these things, it may not be ideology that has won the day – as Baldrey asserts – but rather justice.

Shopping options needed Editor: Re: Buy-Low shoppers upset at store closure, Record, Aug. 9 Although we’ll also miss the occasional “can’t pass up” sale items offered at Buy-Low, I don’t think the word “competition” really fits in this case, as Buy-Low is owned by the Pattison group, who also own Save-On-Foods. I’m sure a lot of folks were wondering at the time the Buy-Low opening was announced, why Sobeys/Safeway had to sell off a store so they’d not be a threat to the competition, yet the Pattison group, i.e.

Save-On-Foods, Buy-Low, had no problem having a monopoly. It would be nice to see a competitive and reasonably priced grocery/food store that has no connection to Sobeys/Safeway or the Pattison group take over the Buy-Low spot as it’s long past due we had another choice.

What’s Happening

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

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

In the next few weeks 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 likely 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.

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.

We invite you to get crafty this summer!

“Letter to a Faerie” is one of many activities in our series of tiny crafts.

Write a letter to a faerie using the notepaper below. Mail it at the special Faerie Postbox in the Wylde Wood and wait for a reply.

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.

Intergenerational projects pair seniors, teens Century House will bring generations together on projects involving arts, technology, cooking and more Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Century House is seeking seniors (and youth) to get involved in intergenerational projects that will appeal to a variety of interests.

The association received a grant from the New Horizons for Seniors’ program to host a Meeting in the Middle community-based intergenerational leadership project.Through Meeting in the Middle, local seniors and youth will be working on five projects – Culinary Pursuits; Art Outside; Pay it Forward; Naturally Fun Adventurers; and Technology.

Seniors aged 50 and up and youths aged 13 to 18 are now being sought for some of the projects.

Pay It Forward participants will join forces to create New Westminster’s first Pay it Forward Day in early 2019.The project’s leaders visualize a day that “moves

beyond kindnesses between strangers” to new relations that help build a stronger community.

An information session on Pay it Forward is taking place on Wednesday, Aug. 22 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Century House. People who are interested in taking part must sign up at the front desk of Century House or at 604-519-1066.

The possibilities are wide open

“The possibilities are wide open,” said a notice about the Pay it Forward Day project. “We will share ideas and approaches at the information session, so you can determine whether this project is for you.We will follow up with the first plan-

ning session at the end of September.”

Through the Technology Project, youths and seniors will learn how to take video and make videos. Participants will be videoing the four other Meeting in the Middle projects and producing videos to show the public. (All equipment is being provided.)

Anyone interested in taking part should pre-register at the Century House front office at 620 Eighth St. or call 604-519-1066 for more information. A limited number of spaces are available for some of the projects.

Robyn McGuinness, the city’s manager of seniors and youth services, said Meeting in the Middle is a leadership project that provides opportunities to bridge generations through planning and learning together.With Century House and the youth centre being co-located in Moody

Park, she said the city is in a unique position to facilitate this project throughYouth and Seniors Services.

The city believes individuals who get involved in this type of programming benefit in a number of ways, in-

cluding: exchanging knowledge, values and skills; developing relationships between generations through learning; learning together and sharing experiences; sharing ideas, perspectives, and attitudes; mentoring

relationships where youth mentor seniors and seniors mentor youth; establishing friendships; increasing cultural awareness between generations; and having fun and contributing to community.

Arts & Entertainment Music studio has big plans for New West space Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Musicians left in a jam after a sudden closure of a local studio didn’t have to wait too long to find new digs.

Last December, musicians were abruptly notified that they were being evicted from studio and recording space at 431 Front St. because of tenancy issues between the building owner and the previous studio operator. Musicians hastily made arrangements to retrieve gear from inside the building, which was home to a 24-hour recording studio and rehearsal space.

Rob Stewart, managing director and co-founder of the Suna Entertainment Group of Companies, said the space is now home to Diamond Dick’s Studio.

“We operate jam spaces in EastVancouver, rehearsal spaces for musicians. Because the music community is sort of one big community, we heard what was happening.We came in and put a bid down, took the place over, cleaned it up, reopened it and got all the bands back,” Stewart said.

“It’s better than ever now.

It looks great.The tenants have a renewed sense of community, and they’re happy.”

In response to the “incredible demand” for space for musicians, Stewart said Suna Studios has opened four facilities in the past four years.

“A lot of EastVancouver musicians and artists have relocated out to NewWestminster,” he said of the reason for opening in New West. “Price for rentals have gone through the roof. A lot of them have relocated and taken with them the brain trust, a cultural brain drain from here to there.There is an operator out there (New West) who has been operated for years called Bully’s Rehearsal Studio.They are wonderful people, they are doing a great job.”

It’s better than ever now. It looks great.

Stewart said Suna Studios has a 17-year lease for the space on Front Street.

Along with implementing a sustainable pricing plan for renting space in the building, he said Diamond Dick’s Studio appointed a local musician as its on-site manager and got musicians involved in cleaning up the premises so it was ready to reopen in February.

“When the musicians were given the boot they were none too pleased, so there was a party the night they had to move everything out and people were kicking walls in. All kinds of stuff was getting done.They were expressing their anger through vandalism,” Stewart said. “When we came in, we

had to deal with the mess.

We made it a part of the agreement with the community.We said, ‘Look, if you guys want to come back into this space, we need your help to clean the space out, paint the walls, fill the holes.’ And they did. It was a community-led rebuild of the space.We just basically bought the supplies.They used their elbow grease. It was wonderful.”

While the main floor space is already being put to good use, Diamond Dick’s Studio has big plans for the building’s upper floor, which was previously used as a recording studio. It hopes to create a live performance space for its not-forprofit society.

“Our intention is to use the space to allow us to give newer bands the opportunity to get exposure, to play to live crowds and give the opportunity for the community to experience the new music that is in their community,” Stewart explained.

“As it stands now, in New West and in EastVancouver and downtownVancouver, most of the performance spaces that allow bands to play have beer sales as their primary motivation. So if the band can’t bring a large crowd to buy beer, pay cover at the door, all that stuff – it makes the bar less likely to allow them to perform, which in turn makes it more difficult for newer bands that don’t have a following to get out and get any kind of following.We are going to

break down those barriers.”

The Society for the Advancement of Artists and Musicians, formed in 2016, wants to help develop the careers of local bands.

“Between our four locations we work with about 400 bands. Bully’s, they have two locations –

they service about 200 as well and they are different bands,” Stewart said of another NewWest studio.

“That should give you some indication of the size of the underground music scene and why there is such demand.”

Stewart has been thrilled

with the reception Diamond Dick’s has received from the city and the Downtown NewWestminster Business Improvement Association, saying they recognize the actual value of musical culture and consider it a “very cool addition” to the neighbourhood.

Proceeds will go to New West Pride.This takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. at Tipperary Park (Royal Avenue and Fourth Street).

TOGETHER WE CAN...

New West Pride offers family-friendly fun for all Lauren Boothby

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Together, we can – that’s what the New West Pride Street Festival this year is all about.

The annual street festival is returning this Saturday with rainbows, music, food trucks, beer and entertainment from 3 to 8 p.m. along Columbia Street.There will be three stages with acts from local performers, as well as a kids zone and other activities all ages will enjoy. Organizers are expecting anywhere from 26,000 to 28,000 people, depending on the weather.

Kurt Knoblick, vice-president of the New West Pride Society, says what he likes most about the street festival – and New West Pride Week – is that it is familyfriendly.

“When you go to Sunset Beach and Vancouver Pride festival, it’s all gay, all the time.That’s fabulous, and that’s great,” he told the Record. “But I think there’s a lot of people in New West

who aren’t (like that).”

What makes this special, he says, is the mix of bold, loud entertainment – like some of the musical acts and performances – with quieter events, like the spoken-word performers and activities for kids.

“It’s not going to be vulgar.You’re not going to see a bunch of nudity, you’re not going to see any of that stuff.You’re just going to enjoy yourself,” he said. “You can bring your stroller.You can bring your kids, and it’s easy to get around.

“You’re not going to be shocked, but you’re going to be pleasantly surprised at the entertainment that we have picked.”

But that doesn’t mean it’s not going to be bright and colourful and fun. New this year is a wrestling match by Royal City Wrestling.

It’s the “hottest thing going on,” said Knoblick, adding that it’s “very New West, very organic.”

There will be two performances in a ring in front of the Columbia Theatre.

The first will run from 4 to 5 p.m., with a second show closing off Pride from 7 to 8 p.m.

Rish Koya, who is hosting the match as Mr. India, says he’s excited to support Pride with the free show.

“I love Pride.They do a great job, and it gives us a great opportunity to get out there,” he said.

About the performance, he says it’s something everyone can enjoy.

“We’re a little over-thetop. It’s a little crazy, it’s something you don’t see every day, when you see a bunch of guys dressed up in tights doing these crazy athletic things,” he said. “They can expect to see a lot of action, a lot of intrigue, and really just expect the unexpected.”

Because of the size of the event, people looking for louder, more vibrant entertainment have a space to celebrate, as do those looking for something quieter, such as with the spokenword performances.

There will also be five ex-

tended patios where people can sit and have a beer while listening to music.

“It’s basically a street party where you can come and eat.You’re going to have food trucks, you can see some performances, you can get your picture taken with these gloriously gay air-

dancers, and tweet that all over the world, and have a beer with your friends,” said Knoblick.

With Pride events happening in New West all week, Knoblick said he’s glad to see the larger community coming together to support the LGBTQ2+

community in the city.

“I just think it’s cool that they step up,” he said.

“When you think of all the things you could stand behind, why is this something they stand behind, and they just do. I think that’s really incredible.”

over to this stage.

er vocals. It’s a high-energy dance band you’ll be sure to enjoy.

TOGETHER WE CAN...

‘What’s not to love about it?’: Pride volunteer on fest New West Pride has become a favourite in New West since it began in 2010.

But Pride couldn’t happen without the help of volunteers.This year, more than 100 volunteers will be helping set up events for the street festival.

Kathleen Somerville is one of these volunteers.

This is her third year helping out with the street festival.

The New West full-time mom, part-time fitness student, told the Record’s Lauren Boothby what it’s like to help out with Pride.

Why did you start volunteering?Why do you like Pride?

I like to volunteer in the community, and this was a really good opportunity to help with a one-day event.

I really support the LGBTQ+ community and I just wanted to put out there that I support that and I want to be part of it.

Did you go to Pride before you were a volun-

teer?

Before I moved to New West … I used to live in the West End in Vancouver. I would always attend Pride that was there. It was such a huge event I just really loved it. I loved the whole “love is love,” and just wanted to support that idea.

That’s why, when I moved here, I joined New West Pride and became a member. I wanted to just be part of it. It’s such a fun party. I have kids and I

wanted to show them that, you know, to be involved in things that you believe in.

colourful. It’s free, brings peopel together. It’s about celebrating love.

What do you mean, that it’s something you believe in?

I think that the whole Pride movement of just showing support for people to live their lives the way they want them, with acceptance, with tolerance, and just celebrating people with diversity. I just wanted to show that to my kids.

What are you excited for this year?

I’m just excited for another beautiful, sunny day, and seeing our friends out there, and just being part of it, you know. I just want to send a message to young peo-

What do you do as a volunteer?

I’m doing the set-up.

That’s what I’ve done the last couple years. I get to go down and get everything ready with the people putting out the tables and chairs.

I can still attend the festival after that, so it doesn’t interfere with going to the different events.

What do you like about the street festival?

I like the music, I like that it’s family-friendly, it’s very

ple that they know they’re supported, and that people love them and want them to have a great day, and that care about them.

What would you tell other people who want to volunteer?

I would definitely recommend it. It’s fun, it’s great to be involved.

This is just a great party in the summer, lots of fun.

I think everyone should volunteer in their community with things they support and this is a great thing to support.

What’s not to love about it? It’s for families, it’s for everybody, it’s about love, it’s great.

Have your say for Pride Downtown business is looking for public participation in its window display for the annual competition Bosley’s in New Westminster is looking for a little love during Pride Week.

The business is inviting customers to drop by and write a message on its window about what love means to them. Love Is is the theme of Bosley’s window display for New West Pride Week.

“We are asking people to come and put down what they feel love is,” said Karima Jivraj, owner of Bosley’s PetValu at Columbia Square. “They can come between now and Saturday for Pride.”

Bosley’s is one of many local businesses participating in the window display contest that’s held annually as part of the New West Pride Festival.

“I want my windows to be covered,” Jivraj said.

“We have markers inside.

Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

The backseat of my family’s woodie wagon was one of my favourite places to play. I can still remember spreading my toys out on the floor of the foldeddown seats and playing as my parents drove us to our next destination. If we needed to stop on the way, I’d happily continue to play in the locked car until my parents returned.The only caveat was that I was to honk the horn if something were to occur.

If the same happened nowadays, most of the parents of us Gen Xers (or Xennials as my cusp-clinging micro-generation has been recently dubbed) would be thrown in jail for neglect.

In an article published recently in The NewYork Times titled Motherhood in the Age of Fear, the author shares her personal ex-

perience of being deemed a criminally negligent parent for leaving her little one in the car while she ran into the store. According to her account, she didn’t carelessly leave the windows up on a blistering hot summer’s day (it was on a cool, cloudy day and she had cracked the windows open), and she didn’t leave her child unattended for hours on end (only minutes had passed before her return). And yet, an ogling onlooker decided to take it upon themselves to immediately call 911 to report the “incident” that had been witnessed.

As a result, the mother was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

We’ve become an overly smothering society when it comes to how we supervise our kids, but I think the problem is bigger than that.

The issue is also those strangers whose first instinct is to call the cops based on a presumed circumstance.

Statistically speaking, a

child is far more likely to be killed in a car on the way to a store than waiting in one that is parked, yet parents are constantly being put in a position where they have to decide between parental instincts and public perception.

I’ve been in situations where I know my children would be safe if I left them unsupervised for a short period of time, but I’ve second-guessed my gut instincts, for fear of being the brunt of the backlash of a wandering eye.

As I keep reading stories of strangers stepping in, especially in situations where safety is not an issue, I’m left to wonder: why are we quick to quiet those who aren’t over-parenting, but not the wolf-criers who are overreacting? It’s time to start asking questions, assessing the situation and using common sense before going straight to the authorities.

Library closing for a week Theresa McManus AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster Public Library will be closed from Tuesday, Aug. 21 to Monday, Aug. 27 as its renovation moves into the final phase.

In preparation for Phase 3 of the $5.5-million renovation to the New Westminster Public Library, the library will be closed so staff can move 23,000 square feet of services into 8,000 square feet. During Phase 3, the entire main floor of the library will be a construction zone and closed to the public and staff, and all programs, services and collections will be on the second floor.

Visitors to the library will still be able to borrow items from the various collections, including fiction and non-fiction books, DVDs and CDs, but they’ll have a pared down collection to choose from.

Phase 3 of the renovation is expected to last six to eight months.

Tidal wave on the Fraser Archie and Dale Miller

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

We wrote recently of some references to local earthquakes during the 1860s, ’70s and ’80s.We have also been looking more closely at one from 1885.

One of a few items from late November and early December 1885 noted that tides on the Fraser had been “unusually high.”

A week later, another item noted “the effects of the great wave.”

In the same paper, under the heading “Tidal Wave,” there is an unsettling description.

“Those who were standing on the shore last Thursday morning saw it coming, and at a distance of two miles, it looked like a wall of water 12 feet high, and several miles in length. It diminished in size as it ap-

proached the shore, and it seemed to glide in on the land like any old-fashioned wave; but in a few minutes there was a flood, the highest flood tide ever seen on the coast, and the Fraser River was united with Mud Bay by a pool of salt water.”

Those are interesting images at the shore, and a large area of Delta flooded from the river to the salt water near today’s Boundary Bay and Crescent Beach.

The report went on: “For a while, the people residing on the delta supposed another flood like the one that carried the ark and Noah was coming upon them and that boats were better than houses, but in due time the surplus water retired and yesterday the tides were just as usual.”

Apparently, this was not just an isolated event here in the Pacific Northwest,

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Calling all artists.

The Arts Council of New Westminster is currently calling for artists who’d like to exhibit at The Gallery at Queen’s Park in 2019.

The gallery is looking for monthly exhibitions between February and No-

vember 2019. Exhibitions typically open on the first Wednesday of each month and close on the last Sunday of that month.

The gallery has two exhibition rooms: the Eileen Montague Room, the mainfloor gallery space, and the lower studio gallery space.

Artists can apply to exhibit in one or both spaces. Art can be two- or three-dimensional, and it must be suit-

ably framed (or, if three-dimensional, mounted and ready for presentation).

Artists are not paid, nor are they required to pay; the arts council receives 25 per cent of any sales in the gallery, and it pays an honorarium of $75 for public programming.

The call for artists is open until 4 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31. For all the details and the full specifics of how to

apply, see www.tinyurl.com/ QPArtistsCall2019.

Camp offers new roles, clean slate for Hyacks

Last year’s provincial win in the rearview mirror as new season nears Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

There may be a little more swagger and confidence entering the start of the New Westminster Hyacks’ training camp next week, but from the outset the tone will all be on what to do, not what’s been done.

Last year’s Subway Bowl AAA varsity champions now focus on starting the 2018 B.C. High School season on the same footing as every other team in the circuit – preparing for that first game.

Head coach Farhan Lalji said that while last year’s triumph continues to have lingering effects, it doesn’t mean anything in the current scheme of things.

“It was a nice way to finish and to win, but it’s over,” said Lalji. “None of that’s going to do much this year once the first game has started. It was good and I’m not trying to minimize it, but it doesn’t change the approach.You enjoy it in December, there were some good moments, but now we have to move on and coach hard.”

And that job hasn’t stopped since the new year. Strategizing and mapping out possible position battles, the coaches will now get a clearer look at how things shape up after an active summer, which included a seven-week program overseen by assistant coach Darnell Sikorski that ran the players through an intense, three-times-a-week program meant to get them ready for camp.

There will be the usual questions, with CARRY THE TORCH: New Westminster Hyacks’ Broxx Comia, left, dangles past a Terry Fox defender during last fall’s B.C. Subway final at BC Place.

Burrards end ’Bellies playoff dreams in four straight

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It’s an old sports cliché, but it never was truer than last week in Maple Ridge.

Despite a dominating regular season and a Western Lacrosse Association title, the New Westminster Salmonbellies saw their season ended in a shocking 4-0 sweep, following a 10-7 loss to the Maple Ridge Burrards on Aug. 8.

First versus fourth proved once again that in the playoffs “it’s a whole new season.”

Playing with their backs to the wall, the ’Bellies were feisty and

energized in Maple Ridge.The Burrards, who had out-scored the favoured rivals 36-20 over the first three games, were equally as cautious.Trailing 2-1 to start the second, New West turned it up and tied the game on Jason Jones’ goal 2:57 into the period. Just 34 seconds later, Mike Messenger stepped into the Burrards zone and buried a high shot behind Frank Scigliano to put the ’Bellies ahead 3-2.

That set a tone that lasted barely two minutes. Maple Ridge responded by reclaiming the momentum on quick goals from Ben McIntosh, shorthanded, and Riley

Loewen. It was followed by three more Burrard markers, and, as the late Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story.

“It’s a tough pill to swallow at this time. Everyone likes to win, and we won here last year,” noted New West president and general manager Dan Richardson of the team’s dramatic Game 7 overtime victory 12 months ago.

“We dug ourselves a hole (after losses of 13-5 and 11-5 in the opening two games) and our compete level the last two games was pretty good. Maple Ridge is a good team.You tip your hat to them, but I don’t think we

brought our ‘A’ game, especially not the first two games.

“This is not what we envisioned.

We certainly had some glimpses of the team we put together, but it wasn’t enough.”

Offensively, the ’Bellies were no match for Maple Ridge’s explosiveness, and had difficulty creating a corresponding consistent attack.

“We just couldn’t get that momentum or our offensive sets weren’t as crisp as they were down the stretch. Maybe that tells us what we need to do,” said Richardson.

New West had claimed the reg-

ular season banner with a 15-3-0 record, including winning all three games against the Burrards.

Having rode a third-place finish last year to the Mann Cup championship series, the ’Bellies may have felt like they were victims of a sucker punch.

The Burrards won the specialty teams battles by a 10-to-2 margin (in powerplay goals scored), and the standout performance by Scigliano set the table for the upset.

Maple Ridge now faces Victoria in the league final. A full schedule can be found at www.wla lacrosse.com.

Sports Girls garner boxla medals

New Westminster’s Lauren Black led all goal scorers at the Canadian national midget girls box lacrosse championships, helping B.C. collect a silver medal.

Black counted seven goals over five games, including a four-goal game in a 6-3 preliminary win over Ontario.

Having had Ontario’s number in both round-robin contests, B.C. had its hands full in the final, falling 8-3 in the medal game.

Only three provinces were represented in the tourney.

Burnaby’s Emily Kuhn counted two goals

and three assists over five games, picking up a goal and an assist in the 6-3 victory over Ontario and two goals and two assists in an 11-2 triumph over Nova Scotia.

Clara Liu, also of Burnaby, netted her goal in the 8-4 win over Ontario, while Eva Regan deposited a pair in the lopsided victory over Nova Scotia.

Taylor Lee of New West pocketed a pair of goals, in the 4-0 and 11-2 decisions over Nova Scotia.

Also contributing to the run was New West’s Olivia Smith.

Hyacks get ready for Liberty

Continued from page 28 got to become a more consistent decision maker, because we don’t have a guy like Sebastien you can just throw up to and he’ll make a play.”

While Reid’s and Sidhu’s explosiveness may be missed – the two combined for 14 offensive majors – the roles have eager players ready to bring the noise.

New West faces its first test on Aug. 31 against Liberty High, outside of Seattle. It’s the annual southern road trip that gives the

group a feel for high intensity football – New West kicked off 2017 with a 22-9 win over Linfield, California.

Although the score of an exhibition game won’t matter when it’s over, the effort and lessons applied will.

Those are things that Lalji hopes those returning and those incoming can gain from the 2017 championship season.

“Certainly as a coaching staff we’re not looking at it differently because we won last year.That doesn’t re-

ally matter at this stage. It’s just about building a football team and getting ready for the schedule.The rest of that stuff isn’t really that important.

“Are there lessons to be learned?You know there are, and there’s also motivation because kids want to continue to live up to that standard and they like that winning feeling and want to win again.”

The Hyacks first home game is Sept. 7 when they host Carson Graham at Mercer Stadium.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
