Groups scramble to ﬁnd space for their meetings Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A number of local community groups are calling on the city to address a “crisis” and help them find free meeting space. New West resident Reena Meijer Drees says her groups are “scrambling.” “The Walkers Caucus had to postpone our meeting because we couldn’t book the Buy-Low anymore because the Buy-Low is gone,” she said. “We couldn’t hold our monthly meeting in September because we didn’t know where to meet.” The situation has worsened since renovations began at the New Westminster Public Library. “If the library reinstates the meeting room and the two auditoriums that they had, that is at least a baseline,” Meijer Drees said. “Even with those spaces, it’s hard to meet.” Meijer Drees has collected signatures from representatives of some local groups that are concerned about the situation, including the Queen’s Park and West End residents’ associations, the Community Food Action Network, the New Westminster Community Gardening Society,Walkers Caucus, HUB Cycling New Westminster and two knitting groups. She’s written to city council and all council candidates outlining the “crisis” and asking the city to take action to help. “Please, at the very least, provide us with an inven-

tory of bookable space so me and every other group aren’t spending hours on the phone, scrounging for meeting space,” reads the letter. “Somebody from the city needs to do this.” In a letter to council, Meijer Drees asked the city to keep an up-to-date inventory of bookable spaces on its website, including location, size, cost, amenities such as AV access and the booking process. The letter also asks the city to provide free, bookable meeting spaces for small groups in all civic facilities and provide larger bookable, auditoriumsized, space at a nominal cost in select city facilities – including Anvil Centre, Queensborough Community Centre and Centennial Community Centre. “Community groups like mine can’t find spaces to meet anymore,” she said. “The only places we can go are people’s homes and coffee houses.” Meetings in private homes or community rooms in condos aren’t truly accessible because access is by invitation only, and coffee houses can be a challenge because people feel obligated to order something, Meijer Drees said. “If you are trying to hold a meeting with quorum and Robert’s Rules and stuff, you can’t do that at a coffee house,” she said. Cost is a major issue, Meijer Drees said, as many community groups aren’t in a position to pay to rent space for meetings.

NWPD won’t use drug-testing tool Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster police won’t be using a roadside device to detect the presence of cannabis once it becomes legal later this month. Cannabis will be legal across the country as of Oct. 17, and with that comes a number of challenges for law enforcement, including how to spot and prosecute impaired drivers. Last week, a new roadside device called the Dräger DrugTest 5000 was approved by federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-

Raybould for use by police departments in their fight against impaired driving. The Dräger is a portable device that can detect the presence of THC and cocaine in oral fluid samples, according to a press release from the ministry. The Dräger DrugTest 5000 is now available to police departments across the country, but the New Westminster Police Department told the Record it will not be using the device at this time. Instead, the department says it will rely on specially trained officers to conduct roadside sobriety tests.

“We do have a number of officers trained in standard field sobriety testing and others who are drug recognition experts.They are specially trained to detect drug impairment, and we continue to target impaired drivers,” New Westminster Sgt. Jeff Scott wrote in an email to the Record. According to Bill C-46, which officially introduced changes to Canada’s Criminal Code in June, drivers who are found to have between two and five nanograms of THC per millilitre of blood in their system could face a summary conviction along with a fine of

a maximum of $1,000. People caught with more than five nanograms of THC per millilitre of blood could face up to 120 days in prison depending on the number of previous offences and whether any other substances, including alcohol, were detected. As legalization approaches, the New Westminster Police Department is reminding drivers of the dangers of impaired driving. “Impaired driving, whether it is alcohol or marijuana or other drugs, affects everyone – don’t drink and drive, don’t drive high,” Scott said.

City ELECTION

Overcrowded schools, portables debated

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

School trustee hopefuls did their best to sway voters gathered at the Queensborough Community Centre on Monday night for one of the final all-candidates meeting of the election season. At the meet-and-greet-style event, the 14 candidates present had five minutes each to tell the audience why they should be elected to the New Westminster school board.The event was organized by the Queensborough Residents Association in an effort to get more residents engaged in the upcoming election, according to Laurie Moore, president of the association. Moore said the association chose the introduction and meetand-greet format because of the number of candidates running in the school board race. “We want everybody who is on, to have equal time,” he said. “It gives people a chance to figure out who’s who.” In attendance were Anita Ansari, Dee Beattie, Danielle Connelly, Gurveen Dhaliwal, Alejandro Diaz, Lisa Falbo, Mark Gifford (incumbent), Lisa Graham, Mary Lalji (incumbent), J.P. LeBerg, Scott McIntosh, Maya Russell, Cyrus Sy and Steve Tsonev. Absent were Doug Woodward and Cathy McCallum. While everyone has their own priorities they want to tackle if elected, there was one issue everyone agreed needs immediate attention – overcrowding in schools, especially at Queen Elizabeth Elementary school.

“What we saw was development happening and portables coming in at the same alarming rate.What I’m not OK with the portables is that they do come out of operational costs, and I really strongly believe they need to come out of capital costs.We shouldn’t be taking money out of the classroom to fund the classroom itself,” said Dhaliwal, who is running with Team Cote. Connelly, who is running with the New West Progressives, agreed, adding that portables are not acceptable learning spaces for students and staff. “I have a lot of friends who are teachers in this community, and they’re expressing concerns about

the teaching conditions in portables with no covers over the doorways and kids having to interrupt class time to go to the washroom (and) inequitable access to technology,” she said. Independent candidate Diaz pointed to Queensborough’s growing student population and said it is outpacing the rest of the city. “This issue will be around for the long term.We need more learning spaces now and in the future,” he said. Enrolment at Queen Elizabeth Elementary has been on the rise in recent years.There are now a total of seven portables and two modular buildings at the school, and

district staff expect this year’s population to surpass 450 students. The New Westminster school district has asked the provincial government for $18 million for a 12-classroom addition to Queen Elizabeth Elementary School.The project would also include a new gym and neighbourhood learning centre space. The expansion project is the district’s number 1 priority, as outlined in its five-year capital plan. THEY SAID IT: !Anita Ansari (Team Cote): “I want to nurture the learners in our community.” !Dee Beattie (Team Cote): “I worked as a literacy support worker helping children with learning disabilities, and I can say there’s so much more that we can do to help these children.” !Danielle Connelly (New West Progressives): “Each community in New Westminster has different and unique needs and all of them must be heard and all of them must be addressed equally.” !Gurveen Dhaliwal (Team Cote): “The gaps that I experienced growing up are the ones that I continue to see today, which for me is a large reason why mental health and ensuring that we’re providing an increase in support services for our students and families is my biggest priority.” !Alejandro Diaz (Independent): “We have to make decisions in the here and now. … I will listen to all parties involved so when I make a decision it will be an informed one.” !Lisa Falbo (New West Progressives): “We want to work with

the province and city council to bring world-class education to children as well as work with them on such matters as mental health, child care, traffic and amenities.” !Mark Gifford (Team Cote, incumbent): “There’s a lot to feel good about, but much work remains and we can’t lose momentum.” !Lisa Graham (Independent): “We see overcrowding in our schools across the district, but in Queensborough the situation is critical.” !Mary Lalji (Independent, incumbent): “I will fight for what the students, parents and teachers want, even if it might be an unpopular idea for some of our stakeholders and other trustees.” !J.P. LeBerg (New West Progressives): “I’m certainly going to work hard to make a difference going forward.” !Scott McIntosh (Independent): “I started seeing how much building is going on, suites, highrises, and I don’t really see schools being built.” !Maya Russell (Team Cote): “I have seen many, many children wait for years for learning assessments that we should be able to access in a public system.” !Cyrus Sy (New West Progressives): “We need to expand opportunities and programs for kids to help them find their passion in learning, especially in the areas of science, math, arts and trades.” !Steve Tsonev (Independent): “What we all want to do is help the children have a better opportunity to advance themselves and that cannot be done in a portable – it just can’t.”

Candidates share ideas on May Day, housing issues Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

May Day, density and traffic have been known to get under the skin of locals, but council candidates kept calm while tackling these – and other – topics at Tuesday’s all-candidates meeting. Councillor candidates fielded questions about a wide range of issues, including housing, business promotion, traffic and May Day at the meeting hosted by the Moody Park and Glenbrooke North residents’ associations. “My take on May Day boils down to old traditions, new traditions, because more than 40 per cent of the population of New West is now immigrants and visible minorities, and find the balance of maintaining the traditions, as well as the expense,” said Chinu Das, a Team Cote candidate. “I think we need to know who is going to pay the bill and how we get that population who is not engaged right now involved in what

is the old tradition.” Ellen Vaillancourt, a New West Progressives candidate, said it’s important for a historical city to retain cultural aspects through the generations. “I also think there should be an element of diversity in that – engaging community to go out and see how we can make that for the 21st century, what that might look like. So engaging our new immigrants, our artists in the community, our school children,” she said. “I also think it’s really unfortunate that the May Queens are no longer escorted by the Lancers.That is also part of the tradition.” HOUSING ISSUES Housing and development continue to be major issues in the 2018 election campaign. Independent candidate Mike Ireland said there’s no getting away from densification, but it needs to be better planned. Incumbent councillor Mary Trentadue believes density should be spread out throughout neigh-

bourhoods and can’t all be in highrises. She said townhouses, laneway and carriage homes are good ways to increase density. Paul McNamara, a New West Progressives candidate, said the city can’t solve affordability on its own and needs to engage with developers, and business and community groups to tackle the issue. ROADS AND TRAFFIC It wouldn’t be an all-candidates meeting in New West if traffic and roads didn’t arise as an issue. “Right now we have roads that are actually parking lots,” said independent candidate Angela Sealy. “My personal wish and desire is to see a regional strategy around traffic in general.” Incumbent Team Cote councillor Patrick Johnstone said the city has boosted its pavement management budget from less than $1 million a year to nearly $4 million annually to improve roads. While roads are important, he said his priority is to make sure roads and pedestrian spaces are safe and

comfortable for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians. New West Progressives candidate Daniel Fontaine said he would also be encouraging walking and cycling infrastructure over the road network, but noted that the city has to ensure that cycling initiatives work with cars. Independent candidate Benny Ogden said some roads in the city need to be widened and improvements are needed to some sidewalks so they’re more accessible. NEIGHBOURHOODS Nadine Nakagawa, a member of Team Cote, supports a number of initiatives to bring the community together, including retaining the Q to Q Ferry, holding more council meetings in the community, developing retail districts in neighbourhoods and providing more resources to residents associations. She’d also like the city to create community hubs by partnering with community organizations to offer more services and community amenities.

MAYORAL CANDIDATES During the mayoral portion of the event, Mayor Jonathan Cote said if he’s re-elected, he would get to work immediately on implementing his 50 ideas in 50 days platform, which includes items relating to housing, transportation and community amenities - but said his main priority is affordable housing solutions. Candidate Harm Woldring’s first move if elected mayor is to freeze the wages of all non-union city employees. “Without sounding like a broken record – it’s taxes, taxes, taxes,” he said of his top concern. “The top 10 or 15 people in this community on our senior staff have had salary increases in the range of $20,000 to $30,000 in the last 10 years. I don’t know anybody in this community that has had a $20,000 raise in their job. I for one haven’t had a raise in 15 years. If we address the tax issue, we can address a lot of the other issues.”

Q to Q will continue into 2019 Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster isn’t ready to put the Q to Q ferry into dry dock just yet. The ferry service, which has been running between Queensborough and the Quay since May 19, was set to end on Oct. 28, but council has approved a staff recommendation to extend the contact with Bowen Land and Sea Taxi to continue the pilot ferry service until May 17, 2019 on a reduced schedule. City council also directed staff to prepare a business case for a long-term, year-round ferry service for council’s consideration in the upcoming budget process and approved $300,000 from the engineering department’s 2018 capital budget to accommodate the operating costs for extending the ferry service. “When we first started this project, we weren’t sure how well the community response was going to be and the usage, but I think the estimates between May and October are going to land between 50,000 and 60,000 trips, and that definitely has exceeded our expectations and has shown a strong demand to be able to connect our communities that way,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “To me, I think the Q to Q project has been very successful.There are opportunities to improve the service, but I really see it as an important opportunity, in particular, to connect the Queensborough neighbourhood with the rest of New Westminster.” According to a staff report, a total of 42,671 passenger trips were completed aboard the two 12-person water taxis between May 19

and Aug. 31, and an additional 20,000 trips are anticipated in September and October. Staff looked at a number of options for extending the ferry service until the end May 2019, ultimately supporting an option that provides weekday service

I really see it as an important opportunity.

between 7 and 9 a.m. on a reservation-only basis (if no reservations are made, the service wouldn’t run) and noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, noon to 9 p.m. on Fridays and full weekend service. Coun. Patrick Johnstone said the city needs to test whether there is going to be a commuter need for the service and see whether a morning schedule or reservations should be available. Steve Cundy, a consultant hired to serve as the project

manager, said the ferry operator has been providing valuable feedback on a daily basis. “When compared with the bus service in Queensborough, the numbers are actually comparable.That’s a really good way of looking at it in terms of who is using the service itself.We are looking into that further, in terms of what those numbers look like and who is using the service,” he said. “One thing that really comes to mind is when we should operate the ferry in the morning.” According to Cundy, the city has received some feedback that 7 a.m. isn’t an early enough start to the service, with some preferring it begin running at 6 or 6:30 a.m. “We are looking at doing a questionnaire in the next coming weeks as well,” he said. “A few of those questions will address the timing of the ferry. Based on the data we have seen, the ferry is being really well used from lunchtime onwards, certainly from 5 p.m. to 8

p.m. in the afternoons, but there is a bit of a dark period between 9 a.m. and noon.We’d like to address that in the questionnaire to get a bit more solid feedback about what passengers want to see.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he’s pleased the city is extending the service but still hopes there will one day be a land-based crossing between the Quay and Queensborough. He said the city will continue to talk to Southern Rail about a crossing as it may eventually need to rebuild the train bridge running from the Quay to Queensborough. “I hope that in the future there is a new train bridge and it also has the capacity to take people across in a quicker, more efficient method,” he said. “Until then, this is a great way to travel.” Residents have been petitioning city council to extend the ferry service, as some are using it regularly for recreation and some students and workers are using it for commuting purposes.

Incident erupts over an Iced Capp Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster Police Department want to speak with anyone who may have witnessed an incident at the Tim Hortons at Shops at New West early last month. On Thursday, Sept. 6 at around 7:20 p.m., officers were called to the Tim Hortons at Eighth and Carnarvon streets following reports of a hostile man inside the restaurant, according to a press release from police. Police say the suspect had ordered an Iced Capp, but when it arrived, he com-

plained to staff that the order was wrong. In surveillance footage of the incident, the suspect is seen verbally attacking staff before eventually pouring the Iced Capp on the counter and knocking the register onto the ground. Before fleeing the scene, police allege the suspect kicked and punched another customer who had tried to intervene in the incident. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man in his 20s. He stands about fivefeet-six-inches and has a medium build with short brown hair. He was wear-

ing a pink T-shirt and black pants at the time of the incident. “It is concerning that someone can become that irate over an apparently incorrect order, but thankfully nobody was seriously injured,” Sgt. Jeff Scott said in the release. “We are asking for the assistance of the public to identify the suspect, which will help continue our investigation into the alleged assault and mischief.” Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-525-5411.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Local news matters to you and the New West Record With a civic election arriving on Oct. 20, local residents look to the Record to get informed on the issues and the campaign. When community groups want to raise awareness about their upcoming events, they turn to the Record for that too. When residents are angry about an injustice they see in our community, one of the first places they call is the Record to inform the public. When any local person wants to catch up on what’s

going on locally, yup, it’s the same community newspaper that is their go-to source. The Record has been in your community since 1983 – documenting local history and entertaining you. We say all this because this week is National NewspaperWeek. The theme is Local News Matters, and it’s not just a slogan – it’s a way of life for everyone at the Record. We know this to be true because we hear it from readers every day.

The theme is Local News Matters, and it’s not just a slogan – it’s a way of life for everyone at the Record. You tell us that you read stories in the Record that you can’t find anywhere else.You tell us in the letters to the editor asking us to cover an issue or an event because these things matter to the community. Our community is growing bigger and denser ev-

ery year. Progress is good, but the more our city grows, the smaller and more lost people can feel in it.The Record is an important part of connecting NewWestminster residents to the rest of their community. We do this by cover-

ing the issues that matter to you, from news to community to entertainment to opinion to sports. We do this by offering a web platform in which groups can post their events so other people can find out what’s going on around the corner. We also make it easy to find the information you are looking for, whether it’s on your desktop, tablet, phone – or, of course, having the paper hand-delivered right to your doorstep for free. We know modern life is

busy. We know you only have so much time to be involved in your community. That’s why reading the Record every day online, or every week at your doorstep, is an easy way – and the best way – to find out the local information that matters to you. The slogan on the front page of our newspaper says “local news, local matters.” We live this every day and thank all of our readers for supporting us.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Parties set to clash as legislature starts

After engaging in what has effectively been some shadowboxing the past year, the BC NDP and the BC Liberals are about to begin the main bout as the legislature has resumed sitting. The last two sessions were characterized chiefly by the two parties trying to figure out their respective new roles. The BC Liberals had not been in Opposition for 16 years and their rustiness shone brightly.The NDP had not been in government for the same amount of time, but they seemed to have a more seamless transition into power. But the warm-up is now over, and I suspect this fall session will be loud, feisty and occasionally even nasty. The BC Liberals have resolved their leadership issue by choosing Andrew Wilkinson and he will be under pressure to demonstrate he can match Premier John Horgan. Look for Wilkinson to shake things up a bit in Question Period and let newer MLAs step up when it comes to grilling NDP cabinet ministers. Rookie MLAs such as Peter Milobar, Jas Johal, Ellis Ross and Ian Paton may get more face time. Some longtime veterans will fade into the background, although I bet former cabinet ministers like Mary Polak (who is the Opposition House Leader) and Shirley Bond will still play key roles. The BC Liberals have to rebrand themselves, largely through new personalities. In addition, the caucus has to be more proactive in creating sticky situations for the NDP government to mud-

dle through. That means generating more media coverage that puts the government on the defensive as much as possible. During the NDP’s first year in power, that did not happen much. The tiny Green caucus will likely continue to play a mostly minor role during this session, although as I pointed out here two weeks ago they could influence what shape the speculation housing tax ultimately takes. On the governing side, things should be a little tougher as the last election fades from view. Blaming everything on the BC Liberals can only take the NDP so far.Top-flight cabinet ministers like AttorneyGeneral David Eby, Health Minister Adrian Dix, Solicitor General Mike Farnworth, Finance Minister Carole James and Education Minister Rob Fleming will continue to dominate, but they will likely face a tougher time of it this fall. Some folks have been waiting for the “old” John Horgan to emerge.The guy who was combative, defensive, and willing to lash out at a moment’s notice. That guy is gone for good. The moment the last election campaign began, the old Horgan disappeared and even though this fall legislative session may be bruising at times, don’t expect him to return. Instead, Horgan will continue his HappyWarrior approach – even if the BC Liberals step up their game in the two months that lie ahead in the house.

A two of two SkyTrain routes New Westminster and Burnaby were locked in a battle in October over the route SkyTrain would take to Coquitlam. In a letter, New Westminster called on neighbouring municipalities to support a route from Columbia Station east to the city limits. Planners argued any other route would be more expensive since New West already had two stations downtown. But Burnaby, pushing for a route from the Burnaby-Edmonds station to Lougheed Mall via the Edmonds Street corridor, refused to endorse the letter. New West planners said a decision was need quickly, since protecting the SkyTrain right-of-way would hold up development of the B.C. Penitentiary site.

Having a slate in New West not a bad thing Editor: Re: New West council needs diversity, not ‘Team Cote’ groupthink, Record letters, Sept. 20 During the last municipal election, I was a new resident of New Westminster. I had the enviable position of seeing the city with fresh eyes and perspective. I had no knowledge of slates, was stymied at the idea of city councillors that didn’t represent wards and learned about each candidate individually. As I did, I assessed them, cast my ballot, and not everyone I voted for won their race. But over these past four years, I’ve been very pleased with the people who were elected. What I’ve learned is that a slate shares values, not a single platform. Each candidate still has their own platform and their own ideas. But the shared values has really been what made this council work – they get stuff done. There is no wasted time bickering or reaching a stalemate on issues. They work through their disagreements respectfully, challenge each other, challenge policies and work together to keep moving New Westminster forward. I have not always agreed with every process or every decision made, but it has been so refreshing to see a council work together and not at odds with each other. Trudi Goels, New Westminster

Good housing ideas

Editor: New Westminster is one of the only municipalities in the Lower Mainland addressing the

(housing) issue with real solutions that make a difference. New rental-only housing and the creation of a rent bank are just two good examples of the work done by this council to make New Westminster more affordable. After the BC Liberals made it nearly impossible for people like me to find housing that I can afford, I am so thankful thank Mayor Cote and the members of city council have done the work needed to make New West an affordable place to live. Tanysha Klassen, New Westminster

So many local events Editor: I moved to New Westminster this past summer and was shocked to see the amount of events and community activities put on in my first few weeks. Although I have lived in cities with strong community ties, like Nanaimo, I have never been welcomed so fully by a new place. With the vast diversity of events put on around the city – such as Fridays on Front, New West Pride and Recovery Day New West, to name a few – I am thoroughly impressed with this city’s prolific events calendar. I want to take the time to commend the current mayor and council. As many know, Nanaimo’s council has been hopelessly dysfunctional for the past four years. Infighting, accusations, public attacks and general inexperience on the part of council have put Nanaimo back decades. I hope the voters of New Westminster don’t make the same mistakes as Nanaimo and elects a strong group of candidates who can work together for the benefit of the community. Sydney Sullivan, New Westminster

School district to track teacher-on-call shortage

Nadine Nakagawa for City Council

Absences will be watched to mitigate potential teacher shortages Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Starting next month, the New Westminster school district will be tracking teacher absences not covered by substitutes in order to monitor its teacher-oncall list. Trustee Kelly Slade-Kerr made the recommendation at Tuesday night’s combined education and operations policy and planning committee meeting in an effort to bolster the district’s ability to mitigate any potential teacher shortages. “In our district, we’re lucky.We didn’t have the problems that other districts are having in terms of being able to fill positions, but we have, in the last few years, had significant (teacheron-call) shortages, and my fear is that we’re going to be significantly impacted this year because of the ongoing teacher shortage,” she said.

Across the province, school districts have been struggling to hire and retain enough teachers to fill vacancies caused by a 2016 Supreme Court of Canada decision that sided with B.C. teachers over language in their contract regarding class size and composition. Last year, there were a number of instances when teacher absences were covered by school administrators, according to New Westminster school district superintendent Karim Hachlaf. Slade-Kerr’s recommendation asks that district admin present the school board with a monthly report, starting in November, that tracks the number of teacher absences not covered by a teacher-on-call. The report will also include the number of absences by non-enrolling teachers, including teacher-librarians and special education teach-

ers, that aren’t covered, as well as teacher absences covered by non-enrolling teachers. “Data is the most powerful tool for advocacy, and if the new board has that at their fingertips, it’s going to make their job that much easier,” Slade-Kerr said, adding that it’s important the board find out what effect the teacher-on-call shortage is having on students. At the behest of trustee Jonina Campbell, the school district will also track the number of times school administrators fill in for absent teachers when on-call teachers aren’t available. Campbell also recommended senior admin report back to the board on absences by education assistants not covered by subs. Both motions will be presented at the Oct. 30 board of education meeting for final approval.

Margaret Halsey has always believed dogs are critical to the well-being of people. She believes it so strongly, in fact, that she’s set up a registered not-for-profit society to promote the importance of dogs in our lives: the Citizen Canine Companion Society. Halsey is a NewWestminster artist, best known to most local residents as the creator of the “dog fence” projects in Sapperton. Her work – consisting of largescale portraits of local residents’ canine companions – adorns fences in the alleyway between East Sixth Avenue and Devoy Street and the Cherry Street laneway. Halsey has a call out for the latest instalment in the project, which she’s dubbed the “Cherry Lane Cats and Canines” fence. She’s running the project through her non-profit society. Pet owners can commission a portrait of their fa-

vourite dog or cat for a minimum $100 donation. Eighty per cent of the money goes to B.C. and Alberta Guide Dogs, an organization that trains guide dogs for those who are visually impaired and support dogs for people with autism. Halsey currently has six more spots up for grabs (although three of those are under consideration, so act fast to ensure your spot). Halsey is hoping to hear from more dog and cat owners – she only has one feline subject so far and would love at least one other cat – so that she can fill up this fence and move on to the next. “At this point I need a new fence,” she says, noting she finds her artistic “canvases” by simply walking around the neighbourhood and approaching homeowners about fence spaces she finds appealing. That’s often how pet owners find her, too, she says, noting sometimes she just finds her subjects by meeting a pet owner and their

companion out for a walk while she’s outside painting. She works from photos of her subject animals – either photos she takes herself upon meeting the animal, or photos submitted by the pet owner. From there, she adds

the image of the pet in question to her fence so it can be seen by people in the neighbourhood. As a dog owner herself – her faithful pet is a whippet named Smyth – she knows just how much people’s pets

matter to them, and she uses her portraits to celebrate the importance of our animal companions. Halsey notes her work has been well received. “It’s so lovely,” she says. “Every time someone sees

them, they always tell me how important their dog is.” To commission a portrait, call Halsey at 604-527-9976 or email clephadij@shaw.ca.

Kerr, lead organizer of the event. “There will also be a silent auction, for which we welcome donations, and a 50-50 draw.” Kerr said attendees always have a good time at the annual fundraiser that’s held during Homelessness Action Week. “The caterers were raved about last year, and everyone enjoys the friendly competition of the silent auction,” she said in an email to the Record. “The evening provides an opportunity for social service workers, management and local citizens to get together in a relaxed setting and meet on

different terms.”

Mission (UGM) kicks off Homelessness Action Week locally by hosting two rounds of Thanksgiving dinner on Monday, Oct. 8, when it will serve up a turkey dinner with all the fixings at noon and 2 p.m. Connect Days, which is being held on Oct. 9 at Holy Trinity Cathedral, is a place where marginalized citizens in need of resources and information will be able to connect with agencies. “In addition, we are holding an art show at the River Market on Oct. 10 to raise community awareness and provide artists with a chance to showcase their

work,” Kerr said of the show that includes participants include clients from New Leaf, the Union Gospel Mission and the MPA Society.

Community Massive mental workload is burning out moms Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

It’s late at night and I’m sitting on the couch watching my favourite show on Netflix. My three kids have all gone to bed and the house is quiet. On the outside, I look relaxed, but, on the inside, my mind is running through task lists, scanning schedules and charting the chores that need to be done in the coming days. If you could hear what happens inside the minds of mothers, it would sound like a cassette tape, running on fast forward, at high volume. A piercingly loud voice chattering at full speed – never ending. Our minds don’t rest. Ever. Whether working in a full-time office job, juggling part-time gigs from home or managing the household as a stay-at-home mom, there’s one thing that is the

main cause of burnout for moms from all walks of life – the massive mental workload that we take on while raising kids. I came across a story on Medium.com called “How Invisible Work & Sacrifices Affect Working Moms.” After conducting 13 interviews with high-profile career moms, the co-authors of the article were hoping to answer the question:Why is it so hard to be a working mom? While all interview participants had supportive parenting partners at home, it quickly became apparent that they all took on a disproportionate number of the household chores and the invisible work, too – tasks such as scheduling appointments, filling out forms, paying fees, preparing lunches and making sure sports uniforms and dance leotards are cleaned and ready for the next day. But it’s not just the papers and laundry that are

constantly piling up for moms, it’s also the mental load that we carry – the todo lists that we don’t write down – that is the heaviest load we bear. When I travel for work, I hand write long lists for my husband – not because I don’t think he can handle the busy schedule, but because there are so many important details that I keep in my head. Pickup and

drop-off schedules and locations, extracurricular details such as which dance shoes to pack and whether soccer cleats or soft-soled shoes are needed, and pre-planned playdates and the contact information for each parent. Money for popcorn days, and due dates for forms to be filled out, and rotating hot lunch days, and field trips, and the list goes on and on.

So, why do we put so much pressure on ourselves as moms to make a mental note of every little detail and store it in our heads, instead of passing the information on to the other parent, so the workload can be more evenly distributed? Is this massive mental workload a self-inflicted burden? It’s not about whether we work in an office or in the home, it’s the invisible tasks

that we take on, and the mental workload of keeping the family engine running, that is burning us all out. If we really want to see a shift in support, moms need to hand over the steering wheel and give their partners a turn in the driver’s seat, too.

Ecology, conservation at heart of art exhibit The next exhibition at Plaskett Gallery is taking a look at the “industrial storm” that threatens the ecology of our planet. In the Storm, on at the gallery at Massey Theatre until Oct. 31, features work by Ronnie Dean Harris, a.k.a. Ostwelve. Harris is a Sto:lo/ St’át’imc/Nlaka’pamux artist based in Vancouver. “The gallery exhibition represents some of the expressions around his understanding of the storm we stand in as beings within an ancient ritual performed by natural beings of land, water and stars. As humans, we are visitors to a cycle and interconnection of life forces around us that have sustained life since time immemorial,” a press release says. “We now stand in an industrial storm that threatens this balance.” The works in the show have been created with a focus on wild salmon and salmonid habitat and preservation, as well as a look at eulachon and sturgeon. Harris, in the press release, said the focus of the presentation is to put the natural cycles and habitats of the fish into viewers’ “hearts and minds.” “I hope that with some awareness and focused efforts, we as a human species can remain reverent of

the beings that inhabit our waterways and have a large stake in our interconnection as beings,” he said. Harris has had a multifaceted artistic career. He got his start with professional graphic design at the age of 14 after submitting a design to Vancouver-based skateboard company Arson and getting the design printed.That same year, he began co-hosting the When SpiritsWhisper radio show on Co-op Radio 100.5 FM. In past years, he’s worked on a number of projects, most prominently as an actor and composer for the APTN/Showcase dramatic series Moccasin Flats and the subsequent film project Moccasin Flats: Redemption in 2007. In the last 10 years he has been active in facilitat-

ing and creating workshop programs for youth empowerment in media arts and hip hop. He’s currently the program director for “Reframing Relations” with the Community Arts Council of Vancouver, delivering programming for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists to work with students and youth around the concept of reconciliation. Most recently, he was featured in the National Film Board musical documentary The Road Forward. His work at Plaskett Gallery (735 Eighth Ave.) can be seen from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, by appointment or during shows at the Massey Theatre.

ASK A PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Q A

I was diagnosed with a concussion. What is it, and what can I do?

A concussion is a brain injury resulting from trauma. The impact from the injury can cause temporary bruising to the brain tissue and can affect surrounding nerves and blood STEVEN MCGEE vessels. Some common symptoms following a concussion include: headaches, dizziness, neck pain, difficulty focusing, and sensitivity to noise or light. These symptoms can persist making it difficult to return to work, school, or sport. Recent research suggests that beginning a gradual aerobic exercise program shortly after a concussion diagnosis leads to faster recovery. Knowing how much activity to safely do can be difficult to determine on your own. Your physiotherapist can perform a thorough assessment and develop a treatment program to address your specific symptoms to get you back to doing what you love.

Q A

How much do dentures cost?

That is a really good question that has a range of answers. The cost of dentures is dependent upon the conditions within your mouth, the types of materials being used, the techniques used by the Denturist. Denture care is PATRICK MARCELO an ongoing service to maintain a healthy mouth. What many patients don’t realize is that there is a service aspect connected to complete denture care, which includes modiﬁcation of dentures over time to eliminate “sore spots” or to improve how the teeth ﬁt for chewing, and correcting the look of or adjusting the dentures to make them more comfortable and stable. The conditions of your mouth make your treatment easier or harder and therefore may result in different costs.

Q A

My partner says I grind my teeth at night…. Is that bad for my teeth?

The dental term for teeth grinding is bruxism. Bruxism is defined as an involuntary or habitual grinding of teeth, typically during sleep. In times of stress, a DR. THERIAULT person’s habit can worsen. Chronic night time grinding or clenching can result in a wide range of problems, such as headaches, jaw pain, loss of tooth structure and tooth sensitivity. In very severe cases, generalized and significant loss of tooth structure can result in a change in a person’s facial appearance. If you suspect that you are grinding your teeth, then you will benefit from wearing a night guard. These appliances are very similar in appearance to sports guard, although they are generally less thick and cumbersome. A night guard will not reverse the existing damage, but it will help prevent further damage to your teeth. Talk to your dentist today! 609 Sixth Street, New Westminster

Q A

What is an amalgamation?

An amalgamation is a merger of two or more companies. An amalgamation can occur: under the BC Business Corporations Act (the “Act”); under an arrangement between a company and its creditors, STEPHEN GRAF shareholders, or others; during a compulsory purchase of a minority shareholder’s shares; when one company buys another company’s assets or shares; or when a company dissolves or liquidates into its parent. When two or more companies amalgamate under the Act, they continue to exist as one company. The amalgamated company keeps all the assets of the amalgamating companies, and it stays liable for their obligations. An amalgamation under the Act can streamline a corporate group.

ASK A FITNESS INSTRUCTOR

Q A

How do I get motivated now the kids are back in school?

Firstly ask yourself what are your goals and I’d recommend reﬁning this to 1 or 2 things, making it easier to achieve than having 10 different goals. What have you LUKE RAMNATH wanted to achieve the longest? What have you tried to achieve before and not succeeded at? Ask yourself if your goals are realistic, I do like to believe anything is possible, but don’t set yourself up for failure before you start! How long have we got? Give yourself a time frame, again please keep it realistic increasing 10lbs of lean muscle by the weekend or dropping a dress size by this afternoon probably won’t happen. I hope this helps. You’ll ﬁnd the personal training department at Dynamic will ask more questions to set you up for success. See you soon.

Arts & Entertainment New West Unicorn hits TV screen Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@newwestrecord.ca

Chat with Meghan Hague and Tonya Martin for any length of time, and you’ll find the conversation wandering down any number of paths about books. Not just about the importance of books in general, but more esoteric directions too: the way covers are designed, the fonts used for printing, the way new books smell. The self-professed book “dorks” are the co-publishers and owners of New West-based McKellar & Martin Publishing Group – which recently saw one of its titles turned into a new animated children’s series onYTV. Go Away, Unicorn! made its Canadian debut Sept. 7. For Hague and Martin, that debut was the latest step in a journey that began in the spring of 2010, when they published Emily Mullock’s children’s picture book of the same title.The book and the show centre on Alice and a unicorn who shows up at her birthday party and decides to stay – even though Alice has no use for a magical friend and tries to get him to go away. (Spoiler alert: he stays.) The book was optioned by Tricon Films and Television in 2012, surviving a rocky road as Tricon went out of business and was taken over by Sonar Entertainment. Sonar picked up Go Away, Unicorn! in production in 2016 and produced it forYTV/Corus.The show is set to be aired by the Disney Channel in the U.S. and internationally starting in January 2019. “It’s really surreal because it’s been so long,” Martin says. “It’s a very bizarre feeling … is this actually happening?” Watching the book come to life in animated form has been eye-opening for both of them. “It’s very odd to watch your characters move and talk with personalities,” Hague says. The two say the unicorn,

in particular, is very close to how they envisioned him, and the overall feel of the show has remained true to the book – even keeping to the same colour palette as the original story. They’re thrilled the book – which was McKellar & Martin’s debut title back in 2010 – will now find a new audience as people meet it through theYTV series. As publishers on a mission to share quality children’s books by B.C. authors, this can only be a good thing. “Something really important to us is giving people opportunities we think will work in the marketplace,” Hague says. Case in point: Unicorn, which has opened up a whole new world for authorillustrator Mullock. Mullock had worked with McKellar & Martin as an illustrator before coming to them with the idea of writing her own story. Unicorn upholds their belief that children’s books need to be well-told stories that resonate with kids. Martin notes there’s a misconception out there that it’s somehow “easy” to write children’s books. “Because people tend not to think of children as intelligent small humans, of course it would be easy to write for kids,” Martin says with a laugh, noting that in fact the opposite is true. “With children’s books, it has to come from a really honest place.You can’t be dumbing it down; it can’t be condescending.” After all their years working in book publishing – Hague has been around the industry for 15 years, and Martin for more than 25 – they’ve developed a sense of what stories will work for young audiences. “When I read the first line of a manuscript, I get this humming, this buzz. I get it right here,” Martin says, tapping her chest. “It’s not even a chill; it’s a vibration.” Working out of their own studio, based in Martin’s home, has allowed the two moms to balance their careers and family lives.

Martin’s son is now in Grade 4, and she’s been able to be there for the class trips and school volunteering that a traditional career wouldn’t have allowed for. Hague, who’s mother to a four-year-old and now expecting her second child, says putting their complementary skills together – Martin’s focus is on editorial and creative, while Hague is the expert in the produc-

Community Hyack Fire Brigade was on the job for city’s early ﬁres New Westminster has a history that is filled with stories about fire.We recently wrote of the city’s Great Fire of 1898, but there are quite a number of other blazes in the city’s story. One of the early fires in this local area was not large but did cover some considerable land and property. In the course of the fire brigade fighting the blaze, they generated a story that not only created a high standard for fire response but also greatly enhanced their name – the Hyack Fire Brigade. This particular fire occurred in May 1864, out towards Sapperton on the road that ran past the former Royal Engineers’ camp on the way to that northern area, not yet part of the city. The flames moved quickly, destroying some property and burning some folks out, though there were no injuries, and all pitched in to help. The fire brigade responded, but this particular fire was just too fast. However,

it is the effort made by the Hyacks that set their standard as the newspaper report described: “Although the Fire Company did not arrive till the buildings were far gone, yet the quickness of their movements was none the less creditable to them. Precisely ten minutes from the time the first peal of the fire bell was heard a stream of water from the ‘Fire King’ was playing upon the flames. When it is remembered that the engine had to be drawn

about a mile, and much of the way up a steep grade, this was wonderfully quick.” We must remember that they were heading to this fire from the fire hall in the downtown portion of New

Westminster.The fire brigade in 1864, pulled, by hand, the “Fire King” steam fire engine, from near the corner of Sixth and Columbia streets, along Columbia towards Sapperton to

a position between Richmond Street at Columbia and the old B.C. Penitentiary wharf building in Sapperton Landing Park. So there we have a relatively small fire in our local

history, but a fire at which the Hyack Fire Brigade genuinely lived up to the meaning of the name “Hyack” – meaning “fast” or “hurry up.”

Community Local entrepreneurs at West Coast Women’s Show Theresa McManus

AROUND TOWN

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

If you’re heading to the West Coast Women’s Show next month, be sure to check out some New West businesses. The Pirate + The Gypsy and the Vancouver Fashion Truck are among the businesses attending the 18th annual West Coast Women’s Show at the Tradex in Abbotsford.The show, being held Oct. 12 to 14, includes entertainment, seminars on women’s empowerment and motivation and shopping. The Pirate + the Gypsy, featuring jewelry by owner, designer and maker Paula Godden, will be among the vendors at the show. Having suffered from severe metal allergies, she didn’t wear jewelry – until she started making her own from quality metals and ethically sourced natural precious stones. “While I have been making jewelry for over 10 years now, it wasn’t until all my

children had moved out of our home that I chose to switch gears and make my true passion, jewelry making, my life’s work,” she said in a press release. “The Pirate + the Gypsy officially turned three years old in July this year, and I have to say I’ve never been so happy in the work that I do. What started out as simple rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings forged in my home studio has grown into custom designing wedding bands and engagement rings, custom personalized anniversary and birthday gifts, helping people take their sentimental old and unworn jewelry and creating new and cherished pieces that fit their style, as well as designing entire collections that will create new memories for their owners that they can pass on to their loved ones eventually.” Meghan Currie will also be attending the show with her Vancouver Fashion Truck, a women’s clothing and accessories shop on wheels. A former dental hygienist, Currie launched the

Vancouver Fashion Truck in 2017 – a trendy mobile boutique that seeks to combine the boho-chic vibe of California with the practical and casual Vancouver vibe. “The idea of a pop-up was intriguing, but I wanted to be more than an online store that would pop up a few times a year. I wanted to be more of a permanent pop-up,” she said in a press release. “After visiting local festivals and fairs. I decided to put my business on wheels so I could move

around and pop up easily. Vancouver Fashion Trucks was born.” For details and ticket info, go to www.westcoastwom en.net. LOCAL WOMAN HONOURED A New Westminster woman was among 13 “exceptional civic leaders” who were recently bestowed with the Order of British Columbia. Deborah Abbey was among those who were rec-

ognized on Sept. 20 at Government House with the Order of British Columbia – the highest form of recognition the province extends to its citizens. Abbey, an author and media spokesperson who has been an early and steadfast champion for responsible and sustainable investing, has inspired some of the largest financial institutions in Canada to increase their financial due diligence through enhanced environmental risk analysis and dis-

closure, to reduce the impact of climate change on key areas of business. “The work and generosity of these inspiring British Columbians will leave lasting legacies for the benefit of their communities and our province,” said Lt.-Gov. Janet Austin in a press release. “It is a privilege to be able to extend thanks in person to all new members attending the investiture ceremony at Government House.”

Business Gas up and green up the world Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Drivers can now help plant trees when they pump gas at 7-Eleven in the Vancouver area. In conjunction with National Tree Day on Sept. 26, 7-Eleven launched the new RENEW reduced-emissions pilot program – the first of its kind in Canada – at the store at 790 Sixth St. According to 7-Eleven, the RENEW program automatically calculates a vehicle’s estimated tailpipe emissions and invests in certified carbon-reduction programs, such as planting trees, solar power generation and landfill gas capture, resulting in up to 30 per cent reduced emissions. Nick Angelo, Sr., director of operations for 7-Eleven Canada, said customers don’t have to do anything different – they just have to pump gas. “They just fill up their tanks and we’ll do what it takes to offset some of the carbon emissions.We’ll invest the funds, not only in planting trees, but also in

some of the great approved programs such as solar, wind and recovery of landfill gases,” he said. “This is an important initiative and we hope that many of our customers will support it by participating in the RENEW program.” Rnold Smith, president of the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, praised the program. “It is particularly exciting and inspiring when a business that is great at solving problems, focuses on problems that are affecting all of us,” he said. “Thank you 7-Eleven for tackling this societal issue. Not only is it good for our community and our planet, but it is also good for business.” RENEW has partnered with Tree Canada, a national non-profit organization and addressing environmental issues, and will be working on volunteer events throughout the year. Tree Canada gave out free tree saplings at the program launch. Laura Cottle, a volunteer with Tree Canada, said the goal is to plant 10,000 trees

this year. “Trees reduce the effects of climate change, they clean our air, they provide habitat to sustain biodiversity, and they help us live longer, healthier lives,” she said in a press release. “We thank 7-Eleven for their commitment to a greener Canada.” Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation, said New Westminster’s urban forest canopy has been shrinking and the city’s urban forest manage-

ment strategy calls for the planting of an additional 11,000 trees. “With today’s kick-off of 7-Eleven’s RENEW program and its partnership with TREE Canada, it is very exciting to hear that our local communities will be better for it,” he said. “The city looks forward to participating in the project.Together we can grow a healthy urban forest while at the same time look to offsetting tailpipe emissions.”

Winners celebrated its grand opening in Royal City Centre on Tuesday. After months of renovations, the long-awaited opening of the new Winners on the main floor of Royal City Centre took place on Oct. 2. “Strathallen Property Management Inc. is excited to welcome Winners to Royal City Centre, and we know they will have a positive impact both in the mall and on the Uptown New Westminster retail district,” said Jennifer Clarke, marketing manager/brokerage administrator at Strathallen, in an email to the Record. “We know shoppers in New Westminster feel the same way and we can’t wait for them to visit our new store.” TD PLANTS TREES TD Canada Trust is planting hundreds of trees in New Westminster as part of TD Tree Days. Graeme Atwater, coordinator of the local event,

said TD employees and community members, including Guides and Brownies, will be planting hundreds of trees in New West on Sunday, Oct. 14. “We are going to plant about 400 trees and plants in Queen’s Park,” he said. “We work with the city and environmental agencies. They will decided the exact spots where the plants are needed in the park.TD will pay for all the plants and supplies, and we will recruit the volunteers. It’s a fun event.” Atwater said TD Canada Trust has hosted TD Tree Days in New Westminster for the past several years, with past plantings taking place in lower Hume Park. “We have a thing called the Friends of the Environment Foundation where we support all different types of environmental causes,” he said. “Tree Days is one of the things we do across the country from September to October at different locations.We do it about once a year. It’s a big event.We are trying to green different areas of the community where it is needed.”

Hyacks continue on winning course Runners pick up pace

NewWest cool off rivals in heated Kushnir Boot game Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

It may seem a lot cooler in the air, but it’s heating up on the gridiron. The New Westminster Hyacks garnered a repeat win in the Kushnir Boot rivalry game with South Delta, returning home after a 20-6 victory. Honouring one of the former founders of both programs, the annual matchup has become a circled event on the schedule.This year’s tilt, with the Hyacks as defending provincial champions, had a ‘Frank’s Red Hot sauce’ quality to it. “The game took a lot of twists and turns and had an emotional element,” said New West coach Farhan Lalji. “We’d drive deep into their territory (in the scoreless first quarter) but couldn’t put it across.” While emotions threatened to boil over, it was the steady demeanor of the Hyacks defence which set the tone most of the game. New West’s Ajay Chol climbed a ladder on two occasions and pulled down touchdowns, catching Kinsale Phillip’s pass from 29-yards out to open the scoring early in the second quarter. A Zachery Northgraves’ convert made it 7-0. After South Delta put up its own 29-yard TD score but failed on a two-point convert attempt, Chol hauled in another Phillips pass, this time from 16 yards out. “Chol went up twice on contested balls and came down with

PHOTO MARK BOOTH/DELTA OPTIMIST it,” said Lalji. “He’s got a real good ability to battle for those balls.” Austin Galbraith, a Grade 11 defensive back, registered two interceptions on the day, including a

31-yard TD return that completed the offence. On defence, Arjun Bal and Titgol Jok netted four tackles each and Shaye Rathjen counted three tackles, including two for losses.

Pavan Kainth added a fumble recovery to his two-tackle day. The Hyacks will put their undefeated mark on the line Friday, 7:30 p.m. against fellow 3-0 Notre Dame at Burnaby Lake.

The loneliness of the long distance runner isn’t as lonely as it once was, if you’re wearing a New Westminster Secondary jersey. The school’s cross-country program is enjoying a minor boom of interest as it heads into the second meet of the season. Thanks to a strong crop of junior runners, plus a few more at the senior level, New West posted solid team results at a Burnaby/New West/Tri-Cities meet last week. “We have a pretty good group and we were expecting them to do well,” said coach Bryan MacMaster. “We hope that this can continue and we can make a good showing at provincials.” The NewWest junior boys posted the second-best team result, while the senior boys finished first among the Burnaby/New West district. Senior Ben Jansen-Budzik finished 29th overall, with a time of 19:41 minutes, while Alex HewlettBowbrick was right behind at 30th at 19:50. The top Hyack junior boy was Evan Beckers, placing 12th overall, with a time of 13:30, while Ben Kramer stood 17th. On the girls side, Lara Borgford and Ava Lee were in step in placing 16th and 17th, respectively, in 22:41 and 22:45. On the junior side, Sophie Crowther came fourth overall with a time of 15.05. “She’s coming off an injury, so we were kind of hoping she’d take it easy,” said MacMaster. “She doesn’t understand those words.” A year ago, NewWest only had one senior boy in cross country, but has five competing this season.

Douglas instructor delves into tennis’s hierarchy

Tennis’s old-boys network played role in promoting a Davis Cup myth, NewWestminster teacher says Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Tennis has long been at the vanguard of social issues: from Billie Jean King’s battle for equal rights in the early 1970s to transgender player Renée Richards fighting for entry into the U.S. Open, and Arthur Ashe standing up against apartheid in South Africa to Serena Williams’ accusations of gender bias last month. But a leading Canadian tennis scholar who teaches sports science at New Westminster’s Douglas College says swaths of the sport are hobbled by an old-boys’ club culture that favours insiders with connections and perpetuates tired ideas. It can make it tough to cultivate new talent and inject energy into the game, said Rob Lake. A lifelong tennis fan, Lake’s academic interest took hold when

he conducted a deep investigation into social exclusion in the sport for his PhD thesis at Brunel University in London, England. Intrigued by the inability of British tennis to produce a steady flow of young up-and-comers into the tennis pipeline behind the likes of Tim Henman and Andy Murray, Lake went undercover at a major British tennis club. With the club’s permission, he posed as an ambitious new member who tried to get onto organizing committees and win the favour of influential members. But, more often than not, he found himself excluded as an outsider. “It’s a bit like going through high school,” Lake said. “You have to take the crap to become part of the inner circle.” Lake said unwritten codes created pressure to conform to the established way of doing things, so

even as newcomers worked their way up the club’s pecking order, they perpetuated its rigid social order. It acts as a barrier for young players to access the best coaching and top facilities to progress. “The sociology affects the psychology,” Lake said. In fact, most of tennis’s advances in social issues have come because individual champions of those issues pushed against entrenched administrators. When Lake’s study was published, he said the main concern of the Lawn Tennis Association that governs the sport in Britain was the identity of the club he infiltrated rather than the issues his paper raised. Critical and independent analysis in countries like England is improving, but when he moved to Canada seven years ago he found himself “a very big fish in a small

pond.” Lake’s latest paper, published with fellow sports academic Simon Eaves of Manchester Metropolitan University, debunks the mythical origins of the Davis Cup international tournament.

For more than 100 years, Lake said, the founding of tennis’ biggest international event – its World Cup – has been credited to Dwight F. Davis, a wealthy American politician and tennis pioneer. Continued on page 35

Tennis history

Continued from page 34 But, in fact, all he did was donate the silver trophy that is the tourney’s ultimate prize. And he did so anonymously to avoid a conflict of interest, as he was involved in the vote to approve the tournament. When the tournament was sanctioned, Davis took credit, and, because of his wealth and influence, no one disputed his claim, Lake said. Lake said while the paper’s conclusion might be seen by some as little more than a historical curiosity,

“the timing is really good to rewrite that history,” he noted, especially as tennis makes new headlines, perhaps inspiring a new generation of players beginning their ascent of its hierarchy. “(Tennis) has a unique platform to advocate as a space for change,” Lake added. But it has to “be honest about its history.” Lake and Eaves’ paper, Dwight Davis and the Foundation of the Davis Cup in Tennis: Just another Doubleday Myth?, is in the Spring 2018 issue of the Journal of Sport History.

Royals ride hot foot

Douglas College’sYanni Siafakas put up a four-goal weekend to help his Royals beat Capilano and Vancouver Island in PacWest men’s soccer action on the weekend. The first-year student-athlete from Greece, who was named the PacWest men’s soccer player of the week, put up two goals each game as Douglas improved to 5-1-2. Douglas bested Langara 3-0 on Saturday, with Siafakas’ opening goal coming in the 23rd minute. Quinn Desaulniers also scored for the Royals. A day later, Race Williams’ marker 10 minutes into the second half proved to be the difference in a more wide-open contest. Burnaby’s Edris Najm also scored for Douglas.
